Who would want to snuff out such a vibrant spirit? Justin would tell investigators that he thought the culprit was a crazed mugger. But a few of those close to April suspected the killer was someone she knew very well.
April grew up in Hennessey (pop. 2,024), Oklahoma, an island of century-old storefronts and modest homes in a sea of prairie. She was an A student, thoughtful yet popular, as comfortable at a rodeo as in biology lab.
During April's senior year of high school, her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer and died after six months of agony. April's father, an oil field worker, was too traumatized to care for the kids. Though relatives took them in, April became a surrogate mom to her siblings Julie, then nine, and Kendon, one. Still, she kept her grades up. She went on to the premed program at Oklahoma State University, then studied radiation therapy at the University of Oklahoma.
In October 1998, Amber Mitchell introduced April to one of her business school classmates—a handsome blond named Justin. The two clicked instantly. April had dated a string of men for whom fidelity was not a strong point; Justin seemed different. He spoke of his Christian values. He had grown up in a town even smaller than Hennessey, herding cattle with his brother on their parents' 120-acre spread. A quiet, solitary boy, he'd blossomed into a star athlete in high school and graduated as valedictorian. He'd married in college and spent a few years drifting between jobs, but when he met April, he was newly divorced and aflame with ambition. "He was among the best and brightest in our class," says Amber. "April was attracted to his drivenness."
April and Justin quickly became engaged. On August 4, 1999, they married in a small ceremony in the Bahamas, then relocated for Justin's new job in Douglas, Georgia. April found work at a hospital. A month later, her siblings moved in, and the trouble began. Julie was 15 then, and her rebellious behavior infuriated Justin, sparking fights between April and him. At one point, according to several of April's confidants, he threatened to never let April bear his children. Within a year, Julie and Kendon were back in Oklahoma.
By then, some of April's loved ones had begun to see a disturbing pattern. "Justin seemed very into appearances," says April's aunt Patti Parrish, a civil court judge. He tried on his jeans from high school every month and fasted until they fit. He made fun of his overweight mother behind her back and publicly criticized April's singing voice, her clothing, and her weight. He warned her not to embarrass him at his company Christmas party and discouraged her from contacting him at work. When his barbs made her cry, he mimicked her sobs. Yet April tolerated Justin's mistreatment.
But in January 2001, when Justin was transferred to Jacksonville, April decided to stay put. "She told me that if they lived together every day, they'd kill each other," Amber says. Justin bought a condo in an upscale neighborhood, and the two saw each other on weekends. Usually it was April who drove the three hours to visit.
She just wasn't ready to give up on Justin. He could be charming, and his criticisms dovetailed with some of her deep insecurities. "She was harder on herself than anyone else," says Amber. "She put up with a lot from her men."
Still, there was always a point at which she drew the line.

Welcome to a magical land of EWN; where the news articles are all made up and the forum posts don't matter.
Hopefully you will find that the conversations here are somewhat insightful, the regulars are friendly, and the moderators a pretty laid back. Everyone has an opinion and they aren't shy to voice it so it makes for some good times. Avoid the user named Dennis though as he has a tendency to troll everyone he meets with his obsession for the Foo Fighters, and his ability to subconsciously miss any point ever made.
Enjoy your tenure and if you have any questions, I'm sure many of the regulars wouldn't mind helping you out.
I could just imagine this new user reading DRG's post and thinking fuck this shit, I'm out of here.

This QB nonsense reminds me too much of when everyone screamed for Kodi to step in at quarterback back in '07 (or the dark ages). Frazier may just not be prepared to step up and lead this team. Barret's done a good job with what he's had to work with minus a few interceptions.
I don't think SC is as good as everyone predicted they'd be this year, but most teams are going to bring their A game against us because they don't want to be the team upset by us in our rebuilding year. Not to mention a team we slaughtered in their best year.
It actually won't be that big of a deal. The most logical option besides the aforementioned 16 team conference would be the options with a 14 team conference.
Just slice off the rotating east/west game on everyone's schedule. 6 west games and 2 east and vice versa. Everyone keeps their rivals and everyone's happy.
We should just put UAB in the conference so Kentucky and Vanderbilt can notch a few extra conference wins.

September 16, 2009, Los Angeles, Calif. - House Ear Institute has received a $500,000 gift from Rush Limbaugh in memory of Antonio De la Cruz, M.D. The gift will be used to help the House Ear Institute continue its mission of advancing hearing science through research and education to improve quality of life.
Dr. De la Cruz passed away from complications of lymphoma at St. Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, on Friday morning, July 31, 2009, at the age of 65.
"Rush Limbaugh's gift is a testament to the care and treatment Dr. De la Cruz showed to all of his patients," said Jim Boswell, chief executive officer of the House Ear Institute. "In honor of Dr. De la Cruz' memory, we are pleased to accept the donation to continue the research and education that meant so much to him during his 35 years as a physician at the House Clinic and director of education at the institute."
Mr. Limbaugh had known Dr. De la Cruz since 2001 when Limbaugh became his patient after experiencing sudden hearing loss. Dr. De la Cruz, along with another House Clinic physician, diagnosed Limbaugh with auto-immune inner ear disease (AIED).
After a period of treatment with medication in an effort to save his residual hearing, Limbaugh and the House Clinic physicians decided to proceed with a cochlear implant to help restore a sense of hearing.
Mr. Limbaugh recently told the Los Angeles Times, "Dr. De la Cruz literally saved my career and got me my life back with that surgery. I wouldn't have been able to continue my career. For a month before I had the implant surgery, I did my show totally deaf."
About the House Ear Institute
The House Ear Institute (HEI) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to advancing hearing science through research and education to improve quality of life. Institute scientists research the auditory system, hearing loss and auditory diseases at the cellular, molecular and genetic levels.

Obama on Privatizing the Post Office
From the YouTube interview with the president:
Mr. Obama is just wrong about this. FedEx and UPS do provide universal service in all 50 states. They sometimes charge surcharges to costomers in remote areas to recover their costs, rather than redistributing the costs from low-cost-of-service areas to high-cost-of-service areas and charging everyone the same price. And they charge a lot more money than the post office does — $20 for a letter rather than 50 cents. But they do provide universal service. The president's answer is revealing, both because Mr. Obama doesn't let the facts stand in the way of his answer, and because they answer seems to betray a disposition against private enterprise.

If I were mother nature and pissed off at humans. Step 1 would be to destroy the USA and work my way to Japan, China and then Europe. Maybe destroy some overpopulated 3rd world countries in the southern hemisphere, but leave the most simplest (tribes and people like that) alive. Actually it wouldn't be that difficult. As mother nature I properly only have to make the volcano at the Yellowstone National Park pop, sit back and watch the chaos.

Hmmm, Yes, We can't survive without the planet, but the planet can survive without us. Maybe that is why I have the illusion of separating humans from nature. I don't think it's wise to have more humans at the moment since the human is already overpopulating the earth as it is.

(1) Magic is just unexplained science
(2) I disagree i feel Nature is a him not a her. After all the man came first.
(2) 0 is nothing there is nothing in Zero. it is the perfect number. "What is it?" nothing. "what does it equal?" Nothing "well can you divide it or multiply it" Nope "It's beautiful."
(3) Why do you think humans will fall into Darkness? Do you think we cant evolve? Every one thinks humans will just be doomed if we come to a major change. I dont believe that i believe we will evolve and adapt like we always have.

Grossglockner High Alpine Street .. Austria
A day off. I had to work on the weekend, so i got free days this week. Living 39
years in Bavaria, so i have been a few hundred times in Austria but never have
been to the famous "Grossglockner" and the "Hochalpenstrasse" going through
this wonderful Landscape. So i decided to spent a day and 18.- EUR. Yes, it's
18.- EUR to use the road. Till today i was not sure if this could be worth it.
Now i got my Sticker. In other words, i've been there, rode the street 2 times
and i would do it again.
Starting yesterday morning at 0800h and it was foggy on my way to the alps.
but after a few kilometers, when reaching Bayrischzell, it clears up and i was
sure, this will be a fine, sunny day.
long story short ... rode through the "Wilder Kaiser" Region (Wild Emperor) to
the Toll Boothes of the Grossglockner, paid my 18.- EUR (second ride in the
same year for 4.- EUR) and started to see the Grossglockner and the dead
end at "Franz-Josef-Haus".
note the ADV Patch on the Sleeve ... ;) ok .. thank you.
High Alpine Street .. whats that about? Just a road over a mountain?
Yes. But to ride from the Tollbooth (where i payed my 18.- EUR) to
Franz-Josef-Haus and to the exit in "Heiligenblut" (something like
Holy Blood) and then back to the start, is 100 km of winding roads,
hairpins, great scenery and pure fun.
ok, less cars would be more fun. i have no idea what kind
of traffic jam there will be on a sunny sunday afternoon.
ok, i'm boring you .. i don't care...
you can see two small lakes where the road goes. now follow the road and you
can see a small dark spot on the picture. a real tiny black hole .. (not this kind
of, dude). this is a tunnel (fuschertoerl) and not the end of the street. when
passing the tunnel u are getting to the south side of the grossglockner street
and to the franz-josef-haus.
on the southside more wonderful winding roads and you can go to the mentioned
franz-josef-haus with the glacier (or whats left of it)
Awesome riding roads.:D
Wow, great pics, and thats an understatement.
Absolutely incredible!! keep em coming :)

where am i and which altitude?
as i reached the exit point at Heiligenblut, i decided not to go to another pass
near grossglockner, it wanted to ride it again. the ticket allows riding untill last
in at 18:00h and spending 18,- EUR for oneway is stupid.
of course bought a souvenir at the "bikers nest". a sticker saying "CAUTION
MARMOTS Grossglockner 3798 m" (12460 feet).
This is the gps showing at the resting area "bikers nest" (8448 feet)
and after a day of riding i headed home ...
odometer check when arriving in munich
the end... ;)
Looks different with cows and no snow, thanks for the photos. I don't remember a toll both on the north side but I wouldn't have stopped since I paid at the south side.
A ride with a view. :thumb
That's fantastic. We rode it last summer and it was fantastic. There was a little too much car and bus traffic, but still, great. Great pictures.
Well done w/ the pix.
Wish the bridge was finished so I could ride my GS over & so those great riding areas.
Touring in Karnten / Grossglockner
The Grossglockner is a great place and you can find many other nice roads in Kartnen. Have a look at this site:deal: http://www.motorrad.kaernten.at/
Very nice pictures,thank you for sharing.
This June I am planing to visit the Grossglockner place and I hope to engoy it like you did.
Keep on riding.

Great scrub for my acne prone skin, but I wouldn't follow the recommendation on the packaging for use of 3-4 times a week as the grains are too abrasive. I use this once a week alongside my gentle cleanser for daily use, and would definitely buy the product again.

Well, it's better than the "original" formula and way less drying than the "Blackhead reducing" formula - but it's still too scratchy and harsh for my dry middle-aged PPP facial skin. Not for sensitive faces - that's for sure. Much too harsh.

Not so "gentle". This wash still scratched my face and left it feeling awful. It smells nice, it has great packaging, and if it works for you, that's wonderful. My skin is just quite sensitive and doesn't really benefit much from scraping sand over it.

This stuff seems good for a physical exfoliator, but my sensistive skin just can't handle it. I was hoping to find a cheap alternative to my Philosophy Miracle Worker, but this is not it. After a couple uses I started noticing a fine rash/irritiation on my nose and cheeks. It's the same problem I had when using a clarisonic, so it's not from any of the "other" ingredients. I'll end up using it up as a body scrub but won't repurchase. For the price I'd say it's worth a try, especially if you don't have sensitive skin.

I used this religiously as teen and even in college, then I did some research about skin and the collagen barrier and learned that this is a TERRIBLE product to use on the sensitive skin on the face, it is totally fine as a body scrub (and super cheap and nice smelling to boot) but I will never use this on my face again, it just is way too harsh.
Very reasonable, smells great and is an effective exfoliant, but will only use on body from now on.

Love this stuff! It leaves my skin feeling so smooth and soft, and isn't too harsh. My skin glows after I use this. The amount I use this varies; sometimes I use it once a week, once every two weeks, or at most once every three days.

Oh St. Ives Apricot Scrub, how I wanted to like you but you just left me with terrible, terrible skin.
I used this scrub religiously as a teen because, way back in the 90s, there were very few products out there for us pimply faced kids. There was the iconic (and utterly useless) transparent Neutrogena bar, Clearasil, Oxy, Noxzema, and Sea Breeze. Ok, I'll admit, there was probably more stuff than that but my father was notoriously cheap and had little patience for his pizza faced daughter and her acne troubles. As such, the drugstore was about the only place I had access to and the only place I could go to spend my saved up lunch money on products that didn't work. As anyone with horrendous acne will tell you, everyone and their mama are always more than happy to give you unsolicited advice on what you can do to clear up your skin (I've always found this practice strange and rather rude because people with acne know they have it because it's on their face. There's no need to point it out and then offer some half baked advice to the uncomfortable and embarrassed person who didn't ask you for help). So yeah, I've heard it all without asking and yes, I've tried it all. On the unsolicited advice of someone who had crystal clear skin all through junior and high school, I bought this nifty scrub and scrubbed the daylights out of my poor face. I mean, who better to know what gets rid of acne than someone who was blessed with near perfect skin, right?
I'll say this much, this scrub has always been cheap and easy to find. If I had gone without awesome school lunches for two weeks to buy this only to get the same results (that would none), I would have been heartbroken instead of just slightly scarred both physically and mentally. Another plus, the scrub used to smell pretty nice. Other than that, there's really nothing great about this. It is very abrasive which, back in the day, we all thought was great for acne (or maybe it was just me). You're scrubbing that dastardly acne away! Yay! Thankfully, we know better now. Acne isn't caused by eating too many french fries or Snickers bars and scrubbing your skin to a pulp typically makes the problem worse. Case in point, I used to scrub the dickens out of my right cheek with this because I got acne there frequently. I ended up causing tiny tears in my skin and I still have pretty large pores on that one cheek. After I saw that develop, I wised up and stopped using it.
Now before anyone thinks I just decided to write a review to slam a product I tried 20 years ago, put your mind at ease. After moving on from this (My parents divorced and good old mom WAS sympathetic to my plight which meant a trip to the doctor and access to better skin care. Yes, mom rocks!), I got sucked back in a few years ago. For one reason or another, my skin freaked out and I tried everything under the sun to get it back under some sort of control. In my mania, I picked up a new bottle of this. After years of not scrubbing my face with walnut shells and peach colored paste, I forgot how harsh this is. I didn't go overboard like I did when I was a teen but I got the same bad results. This led me to conclude that St. Ives is probably an awesome exfoliate that leaves your skin glowing and apricot-y fresh if you're one of those lucky people who don't break out very often to begin with. On acne prone skin, using this is just like adding oil to the fire.
I still have the tube I bought two years ago to remind myself not to use this mess on my face again. I think this might be ok to use as a body scrub but I wouldn't recommend it for use on your face unless you just have very resilient skin and have no issues with acne. I'm sure this does work for some people (it's still around and does have some rave reviews after all), but if you're looking for something to clear up your acne - keep on movin'. Also heed the warning when others tell you that scrubbing your skin with an abrasive product will lead to issues you won't want to deal with later on.

Indiana Bats Quiet In 2-0 Loss To Pacific
March 5, 2010
FULLERTON, Calif. - Freshman infielder Breanna Saucedo had the only two hits for the Hoosiers (5-7) and Sara Olson pitched good enough to win, but the Pacific Tigers (5-7) got a two-run triple from Brittany Hendrickson in the fifth inning that proved to be the difference in a 2-0 loss for Indiana.
Saucedo led off the bottom of the first with a single but was unable to advance and get into scoring position. Cassie Gogreve drew a walk in the second and moved up to second base on a groundout but was the first of three baserunners stranded by the Hoosiers. Kristin King drew a leadoff walk in the third and moved up when Kelsey Stander put down a perfect sacrifice bunt, however she was left at second when the next two batters were retired.
In the top half of the fifth, the Tigers got a one-out walk followed by a single to mount their first true threat against Olson in the game. After a fielder's choice left runners at first and second with two outs, Hendrickson delivered with a line-drive to left field that was out of the reach of Jennifer Glueckert and went all the way to the wall. Hendrickson slid into third with a triple and two RBI, giving Pacific a 2-0 lead.
Pacific staring pitcher Shaina Brock (3-3) went the distance in the circle to pick up the win, allowing two hits and striking out four. Sara Olson (2-4) pitched the first five innings and allowed two runs on three hits while walking two and fanning five. Freshman Jessica Dobson came on in relief and surrendered just one hit in two innings.

It's northern Rhône on the nose, all smoke and olives, but on the palate, it is Golden State all the way. Figs, plums, and black cherry are shouldered aside by very sweet mocha and caramel. The mouth feel is very soft. There is little acid, leaving the wine just a little bit out of balance, but very reasonably priced. Drink with a sloppy barbecued beef sandwich and fries.

Not sure if a thread like this has been started, if not please add to the list, as I liked to know where some more places are nearby!
Places I know:
1.) Phillips 66 gas station at Hwy 370 and I-80. Has an actual bait tank, small minnows about $1.50/dozen, PLUS they dump and pour. No counting minnows! My favorite place to get minnows.\, but they are often out. Call before going, I have the # on speed dial......402-332-5571
2.) Cubbys gas station at 84th street and Hwy. 370. $3.60 for about 2-2.5 dozen simply comes in a clear bag with water in their refrigerator.
3.) Shell Gas Station off Hwy 75 at La Platte. Just before you cross the N. Platte heading to Plattsmouth. Same deal, clear baggie in there fridge.
3.) Anglers Supply. This place will be closing it doors within a months time, prolly not worth mentioning here.
4.) The bigger places. Canfields, Scheels, and Bass Pro all do live bait. I rarely buy minnows at these places, but seem to remember Bass Pro being expensive and Scheels being fairly reasonable.
Does Cabelas do live bait? I am not for sure.

Quick and easy breakfasts are normal in our home. It's not because we go any particular place in the mornings, being homeschoolers and a blogger, well home is our school and workplace! But I'm not a morning person, and until I've had my first (or second) cup of coffee, I'm not flipping omelets or frying hashbrowns. It's every man for himself around here in the mornings.
Even though our daughter is nearly 16, she still likes "mini", partially because of the metal contraptions on her teeth and the elastics that hold them together, but also she still gets a kick out the "cute" factor of 'mini' food. So she was all over the Little Debbie Little Muffins when they arrived on our doorstep.
Given the choice of Chocolate Chip or Blueberry….she still goes for the chocolate, every time. But that's okay with me, I prefer the blueberry anyway, and I'm all about the 'mini' snacks too, as the portioned bites keep me from eating too much.
Surprisingly, these little muffins pack a punch, you wouldn't think such a small morsel could have a lot of stuff in it, yet the blueberries literally fell out when I took a bite, no joke! They were moist and have a good taste and texture.
These have been a great breakfast in our house, just enough to get our metabolisms going, but with out making me feel bogged down. For people that eat a complete breakfast, sharing a package of 4 mini-muffins with cereal or a banana, and a glass of milk would be another way to eat them.
Because they're portable (5 packages of 4 Little Muffins in a box), they'd make a good addition for a mid-morning snack, added to lunches or for play dates. Little Debbie Little Muffins are available at retailers nationwide for a msrp of $2.59 per box.

Vt. moves toward statewide food recyclingBy LISA RATHKE
THE Associated Press | November 18,2013AP PHOTO
A new logo for recycling is seen on a truck. Vermont has taken another step toward its goal of mandating statewide recycling, including the composting of food scraps.MONTPELIER More Vermont trash haulers are collecting food scraps from restaurants, colleges and hospitals to be composted some are even offering collection sites for residents to dump their banana peels and coffee grounds as the state moves toward its ambitious statewide recycling goal.
The law passed by the Legislature requires statewide recycling by 2015 and keeping food scraps out of landfills by 2020. A number of cities and counties around the country already are recycling food scraps but Vermont is believed to be one of the first states to mandate that they be kept out of landfills.
I think that Vermont is leading in this area and its extremely laudable that theyre doing this, said Mark Lichtenstein, president of the National Recycling Coalition.
Vermont last week unveiled its new recycling symbols for trash, recycling and food scraps that it says are similar to logos in other parts of the country so that people recognize and become educated about the practice.
Thats the whole goal is to make it convenient for homeowners, said Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Secretary Deborah Markowitz. Many residents already have a container for single sort recycling and one for trash. Theyd get a third one for food waste, she said.
The changes are expected to boost Vermonts stagnating recycling and composting rate from 30 percent to 60 percent at a time when it has only one operating landfill, officials said.
Food waste is serious problem in the United States and theres a lot of it, said Lichtenstein. When included with other green waste such as yard waste and debris, it makes up 40 to 50 percent of the discarded stream. In landfills, its a big producer of methane gas, which contributes to climate change, he said. Instead of being discarded, food waste can be used for animal feed, turned into compost or energy with anaerobic digesters.
Its such a huge component and its really relatively easy to deal with. Its not like you need super high-tech solutions to manage it. So if you get that stuff out of the waste stream and out of landfills it has major positive impacts, Lichtenstein said.
By July 2015 Vermont will have statewide pricing that requires trash to be based on volume or weight and not the number of bags. The change in the pricing system is an incentive for people to recycle and compost, because food waste is heavy, Markowitz said.
By July 1, 2014, all transfer stations and drop-off facilities must accept recyclables at no extra charge and trash haulers will be required to the do the same the following year when recyclables will be banned from landfills.
The law also is expected to generate jobs, Markowitz said.
So we expect from this law that there will be businesses that are created to take restaurant scraps to farms ... Or to take, collect materials and create compost products that can be resold as theyre doing in some of our solid waste districts already, she said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A U.S. Full StoryVoters across America are beginning to feel the Bern.

It's like you dated this hot girlfriend for a little short of a year, not enough to call a year, and she marries an NHL hockey player. That's what it is like to follow the 2012 season for Hunter Pence. My love for the Phillies and the Ohio Valley at large, caused me to go to Pittsburgh on April 5 to see the Phillies open the season against the Pittsburgh Pirates. I hoped that day would be the start of big things for my team. Nope. Only one player on the Phillies that day is going to the 2012 World Series. Hunter Pence. That crappy beard, those dangling arms and legs, the no-hit, cheerleader of the Giants? Well, he is hitting a buck 94 in the postseason, but blew open the deciding seventh game against the Cardinals on Monday night. With the bases loaded and the Giants holding a 3-0, large, but not insurmountable lead, Pence struck the first pitch he saw from Cardinals pitcher Kyle Loshe. What happened? Only the baseball Gods know for sure. The ball hit Pence's bat, broke it, and in...

Sauti Sol have finally come out to defend one of their latest releases Range Rover after it was criticised by some of their fans as one of their worst releases.
According to Bien Aime Baraza, the song was not for the Kenyan market. "Being international musicians we record music for various audiences and it just happened that Range Rover was not for their Kenyan audience. We however really appreciate our fans sincerity and it is in that way that we know what exactly they want,"Bien told Word Is.
Sauti sol, who were on Saturday awarded Chanel O's most Gifted East African Video alongside Tanzanaia's AY for their collabo I don't wanna be alone, are at the same time enjoying airplay for their new song Money lover.
"We are very glad that we won the award and seeing that we are actually the only Kenyans who won makes us quite honoured. We are now going to shoot the video for the new song,"said Bien.
Sauti Sol is currently rated as one of the best bands in Kenya having travelled across the globe thanks their music. They have three albums so far; Mwanzo, Sol Filosofia and Sauti Sol.

December's thoughts turn to decorating Christmas trees
Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2014 — I have begun to think about Christmas trees. December seems to trigger such thoughts. To make sure I was not alone I did a little Internet research and found at least 25 to 30 million other people are thinking about getting a tree to decorate. How do I know? That's how many real trees are sold each year, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.
Living in the middle of Lassen National Forest I will not be purchasing a tree grown on one of the farms across the United States but instead I will make my selection from the choices found on these mountains. In this endeavor I am part of a minority — 85 percent purchase precut trees and only 14 percent cut their own.

My Gift To You (cover)
I know this was the overall choice for the cover, and I know I ended up doing the Mindless Self Indulgence one instead - mainly due to the wife's desire to hear it completed - I decided to give you all a taste of what might come down the pipeline later. I fully intend to do this song completely, but my mic doesn't do the vocals justice. I'll put off completing this when I get a better mic. Until then, here's a teaser of the cover of "My Gift To You".

Yes, it exists...Happy Friday!
The purported sex tape of former presidential candidate John Edwards and his mistress will be destroyed within 30 days after a lawsuit over who owned the tape was settled Thursday.
Rielle Hunter sued former Edwards aide Andrew Young and his wife in 2010 over the tape and other personal items the couple said she left in a box of trash while they were helping her hideout as the former North Carolina senator ran for the White House. Hunter lived with the Youngs while she was pregnant with Edwards' baby, and Young initially said he was the father.
In the settlement, the Youngs agreed to give up their claim on the tape and other property, which has been held in the vault of a North Carolina courthouse. Hunter has long wanted the tapes destroyed.
"We are very pleased that this settlement achieved all that she had ever hoped to achieve with this lawsuit," said Allison Van Laningham, one of Hunter's lawyers.
And yes, this man was almost the president of the United States of America.

Well, I think I could stomach it as a middle name or as a nickname for something like Cerise or Erin Sue or something.
My major issue with it is that it sounds like heiress, which seems like naming your kid Trustfund or Precious Miracle.
I personally don't have a huge problem with using names of characters with negative connotations as long as they aren't part of the language in that capacity (like Chaos). It's definitely something to consider, but it's not a deal breaker for me.
I do agree that Iris is far prettier though.Olivia/Livia/Livy/Liv : Thessaly/Darah/Bethel : Noelle/Eve

Proof Point - October
Banking on Success
Making it convenient for customers to conduct their business online is a key competitive advantage for financial services companies. With Novell Identity Manager and Novell Access Manager, UMB Financial Corporation can provide its retail and commercial customers with single sign-on access to view and manage their accounts, while reducing overall user administration time by 25 percent.
One of the largest independent banks in America, UMB Financial Corporation (UMB) is a multibank holding company headquartered in Kansas City, Mo., offering complete banking, asset management, health spending solutions, and related financial services to both individual and business customers nationwide. The company has 3,500 employees and assets of US$9.3 billion.
As a diverse financial holding company, UMB wanted to simplify customer access to its many different products and services. The IT staff was managing user identity information across dozens of systems in a complex environment. As a result, customers often had to remember multiple IDs and passwords to access their accounts.
UMB also operates in an extremely regulated industry and needs to ensure the security of confidential customer information. Managing customer information across multiple systems increases the potential for data inaccuracies and poses security risks. Streamlining identity management would help the bank safeguard its data and increase its ability to react quickly to new regulatory requirements.
UMB evaluated several single sign-on solutions, including Sun, Microsoft and IBM, before selecting Novell Identity Manager and Novell Access Manager to run on SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time.
"We needed a single sign-on solution to work across multiple platforms and systems including Microsoft Windows, UNIX and Linux," said Kanon Cozad, senior vice president and director of Application Development at UMB. "The Novell solution had out-of-box integration with the vast majority of our applications. Novell also supports open standards which fits our business model."
Using Novell Identity Manager, UMB synchronized user information across multiple systems, replacing silos of user data with a single repository for user identity information. By integrating its customer-facing applications for online banking and online cash management, the bank can provide thousands of retail and commercial customers with a holistic view of their accounts.
"With centralized user identity management, we can present our company in a seamless fashion," said Cozad. "Customers no longer need to remember multiple IDs and passwords to access their many different services with us. Having a Novell identity management solution helps us manage an extremely complex user environment behind the scenes."
UMB uses Novell Access Manager to authenticate retail and commercial customers to two primary portals. Novell Access Manager authenticates users based on the user information stored in Novell eDirectory to provide single sign-on access to all portal applications.
With Novell Identity Manager, the IT staff has also created federated identities across many internal systems including HR, accounting, e-mail and the company Intranet, with SAP as the authoritative source for 3,500 employee identities. The IT team can provision new users with same-day access to applications, based on their role in the organization.
"Novell Consulting has been extremely committed to this project, both in the amount of resources they have provided, as well as their expertise," said Cozad. "Novell technology is well known in the industry for its identity management technology and really knows how to use it best. The caliber of knowledge and support on this project has been excellent."
Streamlining user management has not only reduced user management time for the IT team, but has also reduced the time spent on audits. The ability to see exactly who is accessing which systems has improved the bank's ability to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and a myriad of other regulatory requirements.
"We can do internal audits much faster and we have a much higher level of confidence in the accuracy of our information," said Cozad.
The bank runs its Novell identity management solution on SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time for highly efficient performance, and to ensure quality of service with the smallest possible server footprint. UMB has consolidated its servers by 70 percent.

Your last minute guide to today's royal visit
Posted: May 23, 2013|
Her Majesty The Queen was today due to arrive in Cambridge on a train, before stepping aboard the guided busway.
Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh she will see how Cambridge is leading the charge against some of the worlds biggest health issues at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB).
There, she will open the new £212 million building of the LMB, which tackles some of the most complex problems in biological science.
Its work has led to the development of therapeutic treatments for breast cancer, leukaemia, asthma, arthritis and psoriasis.
Over the years there have been nine Nobel Prizes shared among 13 LMB scientists.
The royal visitors will then visit the Rosie, where staff will give her a tour of the maternity hospital's multi- million pound extension.
:: Her Majesty and His Royal Highness arrive in Cambridge by train before travelling by guided bus on a special service to Addenbrooke's.
:: They officially open the new building at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, which is celebrating centenary year.
:: The couple split with The Queen going to the Birthing Centre at the Rosie to meet staff and new mums as Prince Phillip heads to the neonatel unit.
:: They reunite at the Rosie Coffee Shop where they will meet staff and fundraisers and unveil a plaque at a marquee reception.

" But none of these kids feel right. Any suggested listening and play-along material as far as getting the time feel and the attitude right? I know that my samba, bossa and mambo feels all need work and I don't have a lot of good records with those rhythms on them. The main album I play along to for this stuff is Cal Tjader's "Monterey Concerts" and it has some amazing bell playing from Willie Bobo, but that's about it. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hi Jazzsnob. Yes you are right. As long as they are messing around with Latin, it's cool I guess. It's a huge jump from playing a few patterns and learning a few beats with left foot clave, to actually getting to the point where you're able to function in the music. Let alone solo over the clave. Part of the problem is that the way people are taught to play this music is generally flawed. There is also the problem that many of the players of this music dont understand the "western" players needs. There are many books and videos that show u patterns. But patterns alone will never get you to where you need to go. To really develop a proper feel and vocabulary especially in Afro-Cuban music, you have to get into the world of African music. The African language, an extremely deep and generally mysterious world is what's missing in almost every Western drummers vocabulary that I hear. For the Western drummer this is a particularly difficult problem, since there is a great lack of teachers that show you how to do this. Now … I don't want to turn this into a self promotion, but I have not seen any method that shows Drumset players how to obtain this beautiful feel, other than Efrain Toro's and my own. Sorry, I hate to say that because it does sound like self-promotion, but it's true. No amount of independence exercises are going to give you the phrasing necessary to sound authentic and play in clave. Beats and patterns are never ending, and also do not provide the tools to develop the necessary language. I finally realized this myself when certain key people finally took interest in my genuine struggle to learn and hipped me to this fact. I am myself a westernized player so I'm very aware of the struggle.
What I am going to do is post the central theory of my RTS method for you here in the hopes that people might really get a chance to learn the concepts that changed my life in Latin drumming. You can also go to myspace site, or my website and watch a clip from my DVD called RTS- The secret language.
Here is the RTS clip
Also I created a youtube site...
where there are lots of clips from my DVD. Hope you enjoy and i hope it was helpful....and thank you for asking.
Another issue is listening to music. The first thing i suggest to everyone is to start listening to BATA music. Also to get every recording by Muñequitos de Matanza. Of course...the problem is, without a method for absorbing this vocabulary...you will be sitting there for years wondering..."what the heck are those guys playing?' hahaha...that happened to me as well so ...You have to know "how to listen" and "what to listen for"
Many warm regards
Phil M.
PS Attached to this post is the RTS theory written out. In PDF form. It is from an article i wrote for Drummer magazine in the UK. You can also find more extensive info on that in my book "latin soloing for the drumset"

We all long for a place we like to call home, a place where we feel secure, and nothing can harm us. Home is where the heart is, as well as the spirit. But where is home? And how do we get there? I am not talking about the place where you grew up, more of a spiritual home, a place where you feel at rest, in total harmony with everything around you. I guess it is hard to describe in words, as it is more of a feeling. A place where we feel at peace with everything. I wish I could describe the feelings I have about this place, this destination, that we all long to go to someday. Could it be a heaven of sorts? Maybe. I know such a place exists, I just have to experience it firsthand. And the process is going on now. One with the world and all of that good stuff.
Here is the thing. Once you realize you are a spiritual being having a physical experience, it should put some of your fears to rest. I guess it is hard for some people to conceptualize this, as they constantly look for proof. I say the proof is within, an all-knowing self inside every one of us. This is a tool I am using to try and rid myself of fear. If I look at my physical body as simply a vehicle my spirit is using temporarily to experience the world as it is today, I can somewhat let go of the whole mortality thing, and just allow myself to experience life as it comes, do what it is I want, and pass onto something else when my vehicle "runs out of gas." If you view life in this way, or in a way like it is some sort of dream, which is also a possibility, you somehow are no longer afraid. Nothing can really harm your spirit, the only part of you that it eternal, so everything you do and experience is less fearsome.
However, I would not recommend behaving too recklessly at this point. Do not do things that will have negative consequences in physical reality because that will only inhibit your spiritual progress. I believe we are all here for a reason. Maybe we do not know what the reason is, but we do know inherently right from wrong. We can make decisions that will lead us towards progress or we can go on a destructive path. Every thought, every action, is a choice. And once we realize that, it makes choosing to live an ideal life easier. It still is not simple, but it gets easier every day.
Knowing that no matter how bad your physical body becomes in terms of condition, that your spirit remains immortal is a key to everlasting prosperity. Look at people like Hellen Keller and Steven Hawkins. These are people who have been dealt some tough lives and yet still have made a difference in the world. There is something inside them that allowed these people to make a difference in the world. Some internal force that we still have not come to understand completely, except on a completely intrinsic level. I believe "going home" symbolizes the complete realization that we are more than just our physical bodies, that life, or existence, does go on after our physical bodies pass away. Otherwise, what is the meaning of life but to peddle products and keep the world turning?
There is a part of you that is spiritual in nature and one of the best things you can do is get to know that person. Some people call it their higher self, others intuition, but whatever you call it, it is something special to get it touch with this part of you. If you don't believe in this sort of stuff, then that is exactly what you will percieve. But if you open yourself up just a little bit to this idea, you will start to "get it." These words may be here in the physical world, but they were spawned from the spiritual realm, a collection of subconscious thought and spiritual wisdom that only my higher self and I could have possibly put together. I encourage you to do the same, as it has worked wonders for me. I am still not 100% on the whole reality theory, but every day I seem to get closer in closer to thinking that reality is almost 100% subjective. We shall see. Good day.

A friend of mine asked me in March 2009 "exactly what it is I do" (for a living, that is). I thought this was a great question, and a good time to try and answer it, since I had recently been laid off due to the Great Recession.
The short answer is, I build web applications, soup to nuts. At least that's what I've done the most of in my 18+ year software engineering career. I really enjoy doing it, and I intend to keep on doing it for a very long time.
Some examples of these applications include:
- a system for tracking sales leads (a la salesforce.com)
- apps that enable marketers to create and target ads and surveys to consumers
- apps for US Postal Service employees to receive and track incoming service requests from call centers and other sources
- online banking applications (First Chicago National Bank)
- supply chain management applications (allowing Nortel's vendors to order their own supplies on line)
- apps to support knowledge-base creation (NativeMinds)
- content management applications (allowing giant auto insurance companies to create "co-branded" web sites that share content and functionality) (Terrace Consulting)
- productivity applications that provide private email, calendaring, and file-sharing to small/medium size businesses (Bluetrain Inc.)
- Digital Asset Management (DAM) applications that allow companies to consolidate, version, archive, distribute, and protect their critical digital files (WebWare/Clearstory). I developed the asynchronous media processing architecture behind WebWare ActiveMedia, a DAM system in production at Sony Pictures, Martha Stewart Omnimedia, National Geographic, etc.
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications to keep track of customer profiles, manage their accounts, etc. (BBH Media)
- Ad management applications that allow call center employees and/or advertising clients to create online ads using a streamlined workflow that results in consistent, approved content (BBH Media)
- Applications that automatically extract text and keywords from video (DigitalSmiths).
- Applications that help analysts find associations in large, unstructured datasets (Saffron Technology).
- Advanced Email Marketing solutions
- Sites for building and maintaining online communities
About the only thing related to building web sites that I don't do is graphic design. But I've had the good fortune to work with some very talented professionals.
I've been building web apps nonstop since the web was born in 1994 or so.
I've built web apps just about every language/framework/toolkit you can name (and some you probably can't). My first projects were written in Perl, then NeXT (the company Steve Jobs founded while in "exile" from Apple, whose technology is now the backbone of Mac OS X and the iPhone) came out with this amazing web app framework called WebObjects. Being an Object Oriented sort of person, and having already spent some time building 2-tier apps in Objective-C/AppKit/EOF, WebObjects was a natural progression and served as my bread and butter for the next 8 years or so (with forays into things like C++ and ASP in between). I still think WebObjects was the best web app development environment ever created, but Ruby on Rails is definitely getting close. On the front end, I've gotten some good hands-on experience with Javascript libraries such as ExtJS and jQuery. I also worked a lot with Adobe Flex at Saffron Technology, and I've been quite impressed, particularly with how well Flex integrates with Javascript. Thanks to libraries like these, the usability gap between web applications and rich desktop clients is definitely closing.
The technology of web apps keeps changing, but their basic architecture hasn't really changed that much since I wrote this white paper in 1997. Relational databases are still used in every big web app. I've developed software for every major RDBMS – Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, MySQL, DB2, Postgres – and I'm pretty familiar with their strengths and weaknesses. Most big enterprise apps involve some kind of "middleware" as well: object-relational mapping frameworks like Hibernate, Doctrine, and ActiveRecord; various Object Request Brokers, Messaging frameworks, etc. And of course the user interface of these apps is critically important, and needs to be tailored to the needs of each project. I've found that the most productive software engineers have deep expertise in all of these areas. The approach of splintering the dev team into separate "silos" is far less effective in my experience than finding engineers who can "own" an entire application from the bottom up. That's one reason I've tried not to get "pigeon-holed" into a narrow niche.
So that's how I earn my keep. If you'd like to learn more about how I can help with your web application needs, you can reach me by email at mpelzsherman at gmail dot com.

Scott Turner and Rupert Soar suggest that the circulation of air in termite nests is driven by wind blowing across the mounds rather than by convection currents within them (20 February, p 35). This may be so in the mounds they studied in Namibia - although it does not explain why the nest does not overheat and the termites suffocate on windless days - but it is not the case everywhere.
I have observed that the Macrotermes nests in Sudan and east Africa, and the Odontotermes nests in India use convection currents, as previously suggested by entomologist Martin Lüscher. You can tell by placing your hand over the top of a mound chimney: you should feel the warm, moist air coming out. It is possible to distinguish live termite nests from abandoned ones in this way.
A more dramatic demonstration is achieved by dusting talcum powder at the base ...

Theodore Presser Company

The Theodore Presser Company is an American music publishing and distribution company located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and formerly based in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. It is the oldest continuing music publisher in the United States.
Theodore Presser[edit]
Theodore Presser was born July 3, 1848, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to German emigrant Christian Presser and Caroline Dietz.[1] As a young man he worked in an iron foundry helping to mold cannon balls for the army during the Civil War. This activity proved too strenuous for his young physique,[2] and at 16 he began selling tickets for the Strokosch Opera Company in Pittsburgh.[3] In 1864, he began working as a clerk at C.C. Mellor's music store in Pittsburgh.[2] He eventually achieved the position of sheet music department manager.[3]
Presser began his musical studies at 19 by learning to play the piano. At 20, he began studies music at Mt. Union College, where he stayed for a year and then worked as a piano teacher at Ohio Northern University for two years.[1] Further studies were completed at Miami Conservatory of Music, the New England Conservatory, and the Leipzig Conservatory in Germany under Reinecke, Jadassoh, and Zwintscher. His late start in learning to play the piano handicapped his technique.[1]
He is credited as the founder of the Department of Music at Ohio Wesleyan University, where he taught 1876-1878.[1] While there, he founded the Music Teachers National Association.[1] His studies in Germany lasted from 1878 to 1880. He then became director of music at Hollins College in Roanoke, Virginia.[2][3] In October 1883, while working at Hollins, he began publication of The Etude music magazine with only $250 in cash.[3] The immediate success of his new magazine prompted him to seek larger publishing facilities in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1884.
Presser died in Philadelphia on October 28, 1925. He married Helen Louise Curran (1890; d. 1905) and Elise Houston (1908; d. 1922).[1]
The Presser Company[edit]
Presser's need for music content within The Etude resulted in his establishment as a dealer and publisher.
Following the purchase of the John Church Company in 1930, the Theodore Presser Company acquired the Oliver Ditson Company in 1931. Through this acquisition, Presser traces its origins to 1783, when Batelle's Book Store (later the Oliver Ditson Company), began a music publishing business in Boston, Massachusetts.
In 1972, the Theodore Presser Company acquired Elkan-Vogel and its locally represented agencies (including Hamelle et cie., Henry Lemoine et cie. and others), making the Theodore Presser Company a major distributor of French music in the United States.
On August 31, 2004, Presser closed its retail music stores in both King of Prussia and Center City Philadelphia. The company now focuses primarily on publishing and distribution activities from its headquarters in King of Prussia.
In addition to its own catalog, Presser represents the music of more than 70 U.S. and foreign publishers including Universal Edition, Peermusic Classical, Éditions Alphonse Leduc, and Bärenreiter-Verlag.
Presser Foundation[edit]
The publishing company that Presser founded was so successful that in 1906 Presser was able to express his appreciation to those who made this success possible by establishing the Presser Home for Retired Music Teachers located on West Johnson Street in the Mount Airy section of Philadelphia. His philanthropic zeal is continued to this day through his foresight in forming the Presser Foundation in 1916, nine years before his death. Each year, the Presser Foundation awards scholarships, grants and funds specifically to further the cause of music and music education in America.

I am new to WordPress develoment and have spent many hours building a site and will be converting two other sites I maintain from standard HTML layout to WordPress (using a theme I purchased), then I got to thinking why not build my own but I dont know where to start and I found iThemes.com and started to poke around which lead me to the following questions:
1) How many licenese come with the Dev Suite? (Since it include Backup Buddy which is licensed by site)
2) With Backup Buddy, if I am moving my site from a sandbox url say http://mydomain.com/wp to say http://mynewdomain.com (but they are on the same hosting company only will be in a new folder on my existing hosting account due the package of unlimted hosting space and domain forwarding from a different hosting company, as I am taking over webdesign for a customer) Is that one license or two? How is the license determined? By Domain Name or some other means?
3) Is there a package where I can buy both the dev suite and Builder for a lower cost thatn $197 each.
4) what is the cost for support after 1 year (Since it is included in initial purchase), I realize the pricing could change.
If question # 2 is a bit confusing please let me know and I will do my best to explain it a little better.

1. the Plugin Developer Suite comes with unlimited licenses, see also: http://ithemes.com/developer-suite/
2. if you migrate a site, tecnically that would be 2 different licenses. But since the Dev Suite is unlimited licenses, it doesn't really matter. And, you can always remove and delete the license from the sandbox site if you won't be using it anymore after migration.
3. The $197 All Access Theme Pass also includes our "classic" themes. If it's just Builder you're after, Builder Developer pack, includes all current Builder themes (and those to be released during your subscription) is $150. As you can see at the top of our site,
we have a 33% discount coupon that runs out today,
4. Renewing a license can be done at 25% (customer loyalty renewal discount) of the price of the product.
I hope these help,
