There are two things wrong with this scenario:
The yearly cost of Congress is about $4 billion. We could save that money if we disbanded Congress. We might as well. We have an imperial president now, one that, when it's convenient, bypasses Congress in order to get his own way.
But that's just my opinion

Being an American, and having grown up in our predominantly Capitalist country, I have never really had the occasion to ponder economics as it related to my faith. I had always worked, gone to church, and, for the most part, like millions of other Americans, have taken for granted the economic system that we have grown up with.
It wasn't until a few years ago that I began hearing some fellow Americans citing Biblical verses in a manner that was tacitly, if not explicitly, promoting Socialism and Communism. For a Christian person, like myself, who has always cherished the freedoms we have had in this country, and felt blessed for the standard of living that we have had in this country, it is beyond disconcerting.
Over the last year or so, I have had some informal conversations with some fellow Christian friends, in regards to this subject; but, for some reason, over the last few months, I have felt compelled to try to understand God's true intentions, as written in The Bible, in regards to how Christians should be conducting themselves, economically, charitably etc.
Recently, I began discussing economics with my fellow Christian friend Kori, as it related to our faith. In the past, myself and Kori have collaborated on the subject of Christianity and Marriage, which, with her permission, ended up as an insightful post on this site; and, to which we were fortunate enough to have many great comments. Since she did such a wonderful job at researching Scripture, and Biblical history, in regards to that subject, I was inclined to ask her to collaborate, once again, with me, on this subject.
With Kori's permission, I would like to share her recent e-mail correspondence to me:
When:Saturday, July 27th, 10pm Eastern/7pm Pacific
Where: Saturday Night Cigar Lounge with Taylor on Blog Talk Radio
What: Saturday nights were meant for cigars and politics.
Hear Taylor and his co-host Liz Harrison talk about everything from the past week – from politics, to news, to books, and entertainment. Whatever comes to mind, and of course, sobriety is not likely.
Tonight: Taylor talks to Liz (yes the co-host) about her recent Politichicks article found here: http://politichicks.tv/column/sex-lies-politics-priorities-self-respect-walking-in-huma-abedins-shoes/ It's awesome you should read it.
Also expect Texas politics talk, tattoo talk (again) with a heavy dose of freedom and liberty.
When the Soviet Union fell I remember saying at the time, "Watch it fall there and rise here." Well under Obama that's just what is happening. The government is now asking internet groups to send them all their user's passwords which are encrypted. Even if they can't do it, it's scary that they even want to do it. It wouldn't surprise me that Holder is behind this. On top of that they are creating what they call "the Hub" which is a huge database of every citizen's social security numbers, healthcare records and any other information about us all in one massive database. This database will be held in the new building the NSA and government is building in Utah which will be bigger than the pentagon when finished.
This is truly scary and all part of Obama's " transforming America" as he stated. Part of Obamacare states that all healthcare records will go in one computer. With all the hackers out there do you really want your healthcare records made public by someone? Recently it was reported that state police and government can now track your car by photographing our license plate with cameras located on bridges and signs everywhere. Say good-bye to privacy. Say good-bye to the USA and hello to the U.S.S.of A., the United Socialist States of America.
I also believe that Obama's further agenda is to make this a muslim state. He has appointed members of the Muslim Brotherhood to his staff and he himself is muslim by birth and grew up in Indonesia and hates America as he blames America for the world's problems. Remember when he went to Cairo and called us "arrogant and dismissive" towards them? This is all part of his"change" and "Transformation of America."
One of the reasons Anthony Weiner's wife Huma is still sticking by him is for power and muslim influence. She has ties with the muslim Brotherhood and her parents have ties with Al Queda. She was Hillary's right hand woman. Who knows how much information she passed on to the MB and with Hillary's help.
In his speech at the University of Missouri this week, Obama called the current scandals "phony."
Phony?????? Like sending thousands of weapons to the drug cartels, kidnappers, murderers and drug dealers in the fast and furious scandals that killed border guard Brian Terry phony??? Just tell that to the families of the ones killed in Benghazi as phony. We still haven't found out who gave the order for the troops to stand down and not help them, we still don't know who said to blame it on a little unseen video, we still don't know where the president was at the time. Phony??? Tell that to all the tea party and conservative groups that were targeted by the IRS and blamed on rogue agents in Cincinnati and now we find it came from within Obama's administration at the WH. You're the one who's phony Barack or should I say Barry Sotero, as that's your real name.
As Senator Orin Hatch recently said , "They act like they're despots," The president is continuously doing things that he has no authority to do — and yet they just do it and they get away with it because many in the liberal media just will not hold them to account like they would a Republican president."
I agree with David Limbaugh's latest commentary I have excerpted below:
Sometimes I marvel at President Obama's apparent lack of an embarrassment sensor. How can he stand before the American people and deliver speech after speech making the same tired points and pretending he is delivering the speech of the century?
Is he truly impervious to feelings of self-consciousness, or is he trying to play us for fools?
His speech at Knox College on the economy contained all the ingredients of a vintage Obama speech: much fanfare about little substance; a stunning distortion of his record across the board, especially on the economy; refusal to accept responsibility and blaming others for the problems he's caused; his ludicrous portrayal of himself as an outsider pitted against the Washington political class he heads; predictable appeals to class warfare; tried-and-failed prescriptions for "growing the economy from the middle out"; his professed identification with the middle class, which his policies are devastating; his cynical dismissal as phony distractions of a raft of real administration scandals that would have brought other administrations to their knees; and an expression of affinity for government, not the American people, as the solution for all of our problems.
The upshot after Obama's nearly five years in office is that the economy is still sluggish. Unemployment and annual deficits remain disturbingly high based on historical standards; our national debt and unfunded liabilities represent an existential threat to America; Obamacare hangs like an ominous tornado playground over the economy and every employer and health care consumer in the nation; America is in steady economic and military decline at the hands of a president who is in denial about it, indifferent to it or intentionally pursuing it; and the president and his renegade Justice Department and administrative agencies are riddled with scandals and gleefully flout the Constitution, the rule of law and the legislative branch.
Yet despite all of this, Obama tells us that everything is great and that things would be even better if it weren't for partisan, obstructionist Republicans. (If the economy is so wonderful, why is Obama hopscotching the country trying to convince us of what should be self-evident?)
Obama's refusal to accept responsibility for his policies and his scapegoating have reached comical proportions..
Obama no longer dazzles us with his smoke and mirrors; he bores us with them, droning on and on for more than an hour without offering any new ideas to turn the economy around — because he has none.
So don't ever expect Obama's soul mates in the liberal media to hold him accountable for his record or to compare it with that of other presidents. If it is worse, it will not be his fault. His failures will always be because of the "mess he inherited," even though no other president has ever enjoyed that absurd luxury.
For all his hoopla about hope and change, Obama is nothing more than a gloom-and-doom liberal who doesn't even aspire to robust economic growth. His sole focus is not on growing the economic pie but on redistributing what he believes is a finite one.
As long as Obama is in office and his policies are pursued, America will be shortchanging itself and suppressing the entrepreneurial spirit and liberty of the American people, without which America is destined for ongoing decline.

Rep Blackburn: Obama Can't Talk About Growth Because He Doesn't Understand It
Hatch Slams White House 'Despots'
It's always fascinating to see the public responses to columns challenging the notion that man is "causing" the earth to warm. Predictable are the personal attacks against such purveyors of contrarian dogma, as well as references to the favorite buzzwords and invalidated theses. It's difficult to understand such fierce loyalty and fealty to a theory invalidated by their own models. Whether they're looking for meaning in life by "saving the world" by diminishing their CO2 footprint, or they're susceptible to the mainstream media propagandistic endorsement, it's hard to say.
Let's start with the obvious, which for some is not obvious, nor easily accepted. According to NASA, global temperatures have not increased for 15 years. Here is the chart for actual temperatures as published by NASA.
The plot appears dramatic, but notice the scale on the left axis. From 1880 to 2013 the range is .8 of one degree Celsius.
We can then look at the chart developed by former UN IPCC Lead Author & Climatologist Dr. John Christy which plots 73 global warming models. The models' projections are based on climate sensitivity to manmade carbon dioxide. In other words, the models reflect the premise that man is causing, or at least contributing significantly to, warming of the planet. Yet not one of the models even comes close to reality based on NASA's empirical data. The mean average for those models is nearly 1 degree Celsius higher than what has been observed for the past 15 years.
Why is this significant? Because it shows that, based on their own theories, and their own calculations of climate sensitivity to manmade CO2, that they're all wrong. If their theories about the greenhouse potency and feedback of carbon dioxide emissions were correct, their model projections would match reality. And it's not the earth that's at fault; it's the models and their underlying theory! When they're so wrong for so long, how can anyone with a semblance of cognitive functionality even possibly consider taking them seriously!
I can't help but conclude what a phenomenal job it is to be an anthropogenic global warming (AGW) scientist. Come up with these alarmist theories to provide global governments the premise to regulate and tax what we exhale as a pollutant; rake in hundreds of millions from government grants to do so; generate sophisticated models to ring the warning bells of catastrophic manmade global warming; be proven totally wrong empirically, and yet still be heralded by media, academia, environmentalist activists, and low-information citizens, as ultimate authorities on the issue, and claim to be right!
With such an abysmal record of projecting reality, now 15 years and running, it would be like a stock analyst in my industry forecasting a decade-and-a-half of bull markets, and be proclaimed a market guru even if all 15 years were bear markets! It's logically impossible to be right, as claimed by media, academicians, and AGW sycophants, when the alarmist's calculations, as evidenced by their projections, are completely wrong!
Last month the German news publican Der Spiegel interviewed Hans von Storch, renowned German Professor at the Meteorological Institute of the University of Hamburg. Storch said "scientists are so puzzled by the 15-year standstill in global warming that if the trend continues their models could be fundamentally wrong." Could be? Do you think? After fifteen years of being wrong, it seems rather obvious that the underlying premises have already been empirically invalidated. He continued, "We are finding it very difficult to reconcile actual temperature trends with our expectations."
"There are two conceivable explanations — and neither is very pleasant for us," said Storch. "The first possibility is that less global warming is occurring than expected because greenhouse gases, especially CO2, have less of an effect than we have assumed. This wouldn't mean that there is no man-made greenhouse effect, but simply that our effect on climate events is not as great as we have believed. The other possibility is that, in our simulations, we have underestimated how much the climate fluctuates owing to natural causes," Storch added. Now that's an astute statement of the obvious. And notice how he was more concerned that they were all wrong, rather than that the earth was facing cataclysmic warming.
And just a quick note on the "97% of scientists" buy into the AGW hypothesis statement so often repeated by the alarmists. This figure of "consensus" originated from the "Doran Survey." This was a nonscientific survey of 77 climate scientists polled for a master's thesis. And it's been debunked as a flawed and statistically invalid "survey."
So how do most scientists really feel about AGW? According to Forbes, citing peer-reviewed surveys in February, only 36% of geoscientists believe humans are creating a global warming crisis, and a solid majority believe what warming is occurring is from natural sources.
If the AGW argument was correct, their models would be accurate. Since they are not, their basic premises are obviously flawed. And to say there's a consensus is equally fallacious.

Where: Getting Hammered with Steve Hamilton and Stevie J West
Tonight: Stevie and Steve are back and we're broadcasting live from the studios at Casa de Hammy. Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) of Pocket Full of Liberty joins us to talk about the debate surrounding government enforcement of Vaccine use; also we'll be discussing Anthony Weiner; and back by popular demand, Mock the Week.
So pull up a chair, grab a cold one, because it's Friday night, the bar is open…and we're Getting Hammered!!
What a disgrace! God bless Jim Brossard! Thank you for your service, sir!
YouTube Description:
US Veteran Jim Brossard responded to a Mexican business disrespecting the American flag by cutting the flags down and taking the American flag home with him. This video was once viewed hundreds of thousands of times on ALIPAC's YouTube account before it was hacked.
Please help us restore this video to the web by posting links in, making comments, voting thumbs up, and sharing this video with others.
Join the fight against illegal immigration and against amnesty with Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) at
From the ALIPAC Website:
ALIPAC's YouTube account once received more than 30,000 views per day as the largest collection of often unique videos related to illegal immigration. Then Google, Inc. handed the keys to our account to an activist or had one of their own employees hack our account and scrub all of our videos from the web.
Despite numerous attempts to reach Google from ALIPAC and Congressional offices, they remained silent and refused to help us restore our deleted videos, many of which had thousands of links coming into them built by activists and media sources like CBS and Fox News!
Now, many of these videos can hardly be found, if at all, on the web!
We figure that if the amnesty pushing Globalists hated ALIPAC's videos so badly, there must be a reason so…
We are relaunching many of the videos! Please help us start with this first one….
Even if you have seen this one before, please watch the video, make a comment, vote it thumbs up, and share it with others by email and social media! Each Friday we are going to reload one of our past most popular videos that Globalists do not want America to see!
Alfonzo Rachel lays it on the line, pointing out how white liberals continue to engage in delusional behavior when it comes to the true history of blacks and racism. Conservatives aren't left out of this one either, because they are often guilty of ignoring the problem, instead of combating it.
When Obama was first elected I shook my head and said why, here is a man that had no experience or qualifications for the job yet he managed to get himself elected to the highest position in the land, how did he do this? One word Bullshit, yes he is a master of spreading it around.
Now here we are five years later and Obama is still clueless about how to run a country. There is no doubt that he knows how to enjoy the perks of the job, but it is obvious he does not know how to do the job. When he first came into office the country needed jobs, now five years later the country still needs jobs, what has he been doing for the past five years anyway? Oh, that's right, he has been enjoying the perks of the job.
Now after five years he thinks it is now time to tackle the job situation, wait, hasn't he already done this numerous times before? The answer is yes, but because he is faced with scandal after scandal, he needs to change the subject. Watching him give his speech I had to laugh, he is saying the same things he said five years ago, I even laughed harder when he started going over his list of so-called accomplishments for the past five years, which he said, has helped Americans.
Obama said in his speech, "Today, five years after the start of that Great Recession, we fought our way back." Is he kidding? He also started demonizing the top 1% again as well as blaming the Republicans for his failed policies by saying 'You Can't Just Be Against' Everything I Propose," to that I say, Oh yes we can, if everything you propose is wrong for America.
I must say, the majority of the audience looked like young people, I guess that these are the only people who he can talk to who do not remember that he is saying the same things he did five years ago. I must say, he has the right idea, as soon as people become voting age, he grabs them and pumps them full of bullshit. As the people that voted for him five years ago get wise and turn away from his B.S. he finds new people to lie too, I have to admit it is very effective.
Naturally, Republicans dismissed the address as familiar, empty rhetoric unhelpful to immediate problems like reaching an agreement in Washington on funding the government and raising the debt ceiling. House Speaker John Boehner called the speech a "hollow shell" and an "Easter egg with no candy in it." Rather than offering new solutions that could revive the economy and put people back to work, Obama offered the same old policies that have already failed, namely more stimulus spending on infrastructure and misguided educational programs. Taking money out of one area of the economy and spending it in another, it hasn't worked for five years, why does he think it will work now?
Of course Obama had to mention global warming, if he wants to help stop global warming, he needs to stop giving speeches that are full of hot air and B.S. I don't know why I watched his speech, I truly stopped watching his speeches years ago, I usually turn on Seinfeld instead. I guess it really does not matter, when I need a good laugh I either turn on Seinfeld or one of Obama's speeches.
"What Kind Of Society Are We Leaving Our Kids" Available Here
This is one man's opinion.
In the wake of the recent IRS scandal, some well-intentioned but badly misguided people have begun touting the flat income tax (called the flat tax for shorthand) as a replacement for the current tax code. They claim it would be an antidote to the IRS's abuses and curb that agency's powers while also supercharging America's economy.
But they are dead wrong. The flat tax is no solution at all. It would not solve any of the problems with the current tax code and the IRS, and it could be replaced with a progressive income tax by the next Congress anyway.
Here's why the flat tax would utterly fail to solve the problem, and why the FairTax – a flat 23% consumption tax designed to replace all federal internal taxes (income, payroll, excise, gift, death, etc.) is the solution:
The flat [income] tax is not a solution. It would not solve ANY of the problems with the current tax code, the IRS, the 16th Amendment, the income tax itself, or the US political system. Only the FairTax would do that – by doing away with the income tax, the IRS, and the 16th Amendment PERMANENTLY.
It is no coincidence that the FairTax bill now has over 70 sponsors and cosponsors in both houses of Congress (including such conservative stars as Sen. Ted Cruz and Congressman Tom Price), while the flat tax bill has only one sponsor in the Senate and no companion bill in the House.
The flat tax is not a solution to anything and should not even be considered.
Parents, here are your tuition dollars at work. Maybe an investment in a dictionary would have been smarter?
In a debate on one of the FOX News Channel shows, Left-of-Center radio show host Leslie Marshall responded to her debate partner's call for honesty in politics by saying, "Please! We're talking about politicians." And there you have it in a nutshell. The American people have moved beyond the concept of apathy where the idea of honesty in politics is concerned, and have arrived at full-blown political sadomasochism. Having completely given up on demanding that those who serve them do so with fidelity to public service, the majority of Americans have simply accepted – as the new normal – that politicians of all stripes offer nothing but false promises, untruths and opportunistic spin for narcissistic gain, i.e. power and wealth. And while this is today's status quo, it doesn't have to be this way. Nevertheless, it seems as though we live in an all-encompassing state of political Stockholm Syndrome, unwilling to affect fundamental change, which we, as a people, have the power to do.
A quote often attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville, reads, "Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle mérite," or "Every country has the government it deserves." This philosophical observation certainly applies to the United States, even if in the most ironic way. Given the fact that our nation allows for the free election of a representative form of government based on a checked-and-balanced (via the Electoral College) democratic system of election, We the People – literally – have the power to shape the personality and morality of the government that we created to serve us. Yet, astoundingly, we have been led to believe that no one vote – no one voter – can affect the outcome of any given election. Again, I refer to Leslie Marshall, "Please! We're talking about politicians."
But surrender to this "new political normal" is an exercise in "political sadomasochism"; an embracing of several weaknesses, including acquiescence to a special interest ideological class, apathy toward being engaged enough to search out the facts, and cowardice to confront the more manipulative among us. This political sadomasochism produces – via our own hands – government, at every level, which we all love to hate, blame, demean and complain about; government that places politics and the well-being of politicians and political parties above good government and serving the people.
No better example exists than in the State of New York, where disgraced former US Congressman Anthony Weiner and disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer are literally leading in the polls for New York City Mayor and New York City Comptroller, respectively.
Everyone – unless they have been sequestered for the last several years, knows the stories that delivered these two men away from public service.
Anthony Weiner, an incredible narcissist and über-abrasive, über-Progressive political operative, has a problem with Tweeting pictures of his penis to young women who aren't his wife. Recent revelations have proved that he continues to do this even though his wife, Huma Abedin (close buddy-buddy of Hillary Clinton's), stands by her man, exclaiming that since his resignation from the US House – a resignation executed because he couldn't keep his cyber-penis in his cyber-pants – he's been a "model husband and Father." One has to wonder if "Señora Danger" (Weiner used the moniker Carlos Danger to interact with his cyber-sexual conquests) has changed her mind or if she just likes her men a little bit arrogant and abusive.
Elliot Spitzer, on the other hand, had to resign because he had a penchant for employing high-paid hookers. To her credit, Mrs. Spitzer was recognizably mortified when she stood by her man, as he proclaimed to the world that fidelity to his marriage just wasn't enough for his sexual appetite.
In both of these examples, we have men who worked their entire lives to attain political power; positioning, campaigning, working up the political ladder and achieving elected office. In both of their careers they achieved some good things. But there is a troubling and undeniable fact that precludes the both of them from every being elected to office again, or at least should preclude them from attaining seats of power every again. They lied to, they willingly deceived, and they manipulated and humiliated the people that trusted them the most, their wives; their life-partners; their soul mates. They both took advantage of the people that are supposed to be the most important people in their lives. And then they asked them to publicly humiliate themselves so they could get the butts out of the media fire.
Truth be told, if a person cannot even be faithful to their spouse; if a person cannot have fidelity to the most important relationship in his or her life, how is anyone supposed to believe that they will have fidelity to any relationship: personal, professional or political?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Lie to me once as an elected representative in government and you should resign, take stock of your life and realize that your time in political life has come to an end by your own hand. But should you lie, cheat and steal and then apologize, huge crocodile tears in your eyes, promising never to do it again while your humiliated spouse stands in your disingenuous shadow, and convince me to vote for you again…well, then, as de Tocqueville espoused, you get the government you deserve.
It is stunning to me that the people of New York are allowing these two liars, these two cheats, to exist but a minute from again taking governmental office. This may sound a bit harsh, but after the outpouring of affection the rest of the nation afforded the people of New York City after September 11, 2001, I expected more than just a "thank you, now back to our regularly scheduled cesspool of politically partisan deviance." I expected that when given a second chance, they would have done the right thing, corrected wrongs and strived to better themselves as an exercise in appreciation for support, compassion and friendship. I don't know about you, but New Yorkers' embrace of Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer is tantamount to a slap in the face. But then that's just me…
The overriding point to all of this is that it doesn't have to be this way. We can have better government; government over politics. We all just need to have the courage and dedication to demand that our elected officials respect the people and the office – respect the opportunity – enough to actually serve the electorate, instead of lying to them while lining their pockets and setting up lucrative careers for a post-elected life. We need to support honest people when they want to run for government and reject the notion that the parties are just too big, too powerful to challenge. Because We the People, by virtue of the United States Constitution, literally created the American system of government, We the People have the power to set the standards by which we are served. The fact that we do not is a testimony to our cultivated political sadomasochism.
So, we can either pretend that we do not have the power to achieve government that serves, and glean the scandals of the Weiners and the Spitzers – the scandals of "Dickileaks," or we can do the hard work and act like Americans and settle for nothing less than the very best. If we cannot, then maybe Eric Holder, while wrong about the subject matter, was correct when he called us a "nation of cowards."
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America…" – The Preamble to the United States Constitution.
We all knew that Anthony Weiner is God's gift to comedy, but he's also a great gift for explaining Constitutional principles.

Note: Slash. Kind of cheesy. Actually, very cheesy. But who doesn't love cheese? Anyway, chapter titles and story title go to the Smith's and their album Strangeways, Here We Come, because I'm unoriginal and can't stop listening to it. Relations between a sixteen year old and a twenty-seven year old. Yeah. First story.
Summary: Infatuation is a tricky thing, especially when there's eleven years separating the two of them. That, and the fact that Jory Kilver is a complete and absolute spaz.
I was stuck on my fire escape the first time I met Jack Carter.
The black, wrought iron of the escape had always existed just outside of the emergency window of the apartment, but seemed untouchable to my five year old hands. It held the same kind of mysterious danger that calling 911 did. You didn't do it unless it was an emergency. Ever. While all the other windows in the apartment were smudged with sticky fingerprints, and in the right light you could see condensation drawn smiley-faces and crossed out cuss words, the emergency window was so clean it seemed like the glass wasn't even there. I remember my mom obsessively wiping it down with Windex and paper towels daily, like the more streak-free the emergency window was, the more of a chance we all had of escaping a a terrible fiery death.
But my older brother Harp had double-pinky promised me that mom left a surprise just outside, and all I had to do was climb through the window and get it. And I mean really—a surprise? One that I'd automatically assumed had to be the most-coveted, yet most-allusive Tamagatchi? How was a five-year-old me supposed to resist?
And not a fucking second after I'd swung my last leg over the ledge, Harp had slammed the pane down, locked it, and made a face against the glass, skin smearing hot breath across it.
It's not something I like to talk about, mostly because I was out there in the rain for forever, crying into my hands and trying not to make too much noise because our neighbor Mrs. Hannerdy always yelled when I cried too loudly.
And it was probably the darkest moment of my entire existence. Even worse than the time I cracked open a Magic Eight Ball and drank the blue liquid inside.
I heard the whoosh of the window being opened and my tiny kindergarten heart soared—because maybe I wouldn't die a horrible frozen death after all. Maybe Harp had grown a conscious and was going to let me back in!
And then I realized it was the window on the escape above me, and my heart sank like the Titanic (a movie which at that point in time, I'd like to brag, I'd seen both VHS tapes of—even the naked parts, thank you very much Stoned Babysitter).
Jack was sixteen and sneaking out of his apartment for a quick smoke on the fire escape (and we sing irony), at least that's how he tells it. I've seen pictures, and he looked so young back then, and so scrawny with a dimpled face and his 5'2 frame still drowning in unwanted baby fat. But the one thing I really remember from when I first met him, Jack seemed like the tallest, most grown-up person in the world. Impossibly big, in all black, with stubble. And that was before he shot up ten inches, joined his high school wrestling team and grew a formidable 'stache.
He said something that's now lost in my memory, probably a 'what's wrong, kiddo?' or a 'hey, don't cry dude'—something like that. But I do remember his smile, slashed wide through his face, and I knew he was safe. I was safe. Even though I'd been briefed countless times by that point to never, ever go anywhere with strangers no matter who they were, what they promised, or what kind of shoes they wore—Jack seemed different. Even if he was wearing beat up Adidas.
Jack helped me climb up to his escape and through the window—his apartment was different from ours, with no orange Hot Wheel tracks laid out on the carpet, or any Nerf Guns in the corner fully stocked with their foam bullets. Just baskets of unfolded laundry and stacks of thick books with titles I couldn't read.
His bedroom was different from mine, too—it didn't look like he shared it with anybody, just himself, and there were more huge books and crumpled papers, and tacked into the green walls were posters of men dressed in all black, growling at me with glazed eyes and sneering mouths. I only remember Jack saying one thing to me, even though he was talking the whole time, comforting me in smooth tones. He pointed to one of the posters, this one on the ceiling, tacked over his bed, different. There were no men dressed in black sneering, just one man in black and white with tall hair. Jack pointed his chin to the poster, "Hot, right?"
I didn't know what he meant so I just nodded, and he just threw his head back and laughed.
He led me back to my apartment by the hand down the stairs and up the hall, my wet clothes in a plastic shopping bag and an oversized t-shirt hanging past my knees. Before I got the chance to even tell him which door was mine, it slammed open with my crazy-haired, wild eyed mother bursting through it, tossing off her Minolo Blahniks behind her and gushing panic.
She'd hugged me so hard, then Jack, our cheeks matching with red lipstick smeared across them.
I don't remember much after that, except I was sick for a week and Harp was punished for a lot longer.
That, and Jack Carter would become a permanent fixture in my life, whether I liked it or not.
"We shouldn't be in here."
"Yeah? Well Jack shouldn't hog all the good Will Farrell movies. I mean, there are just so few of them to go around nowadays. It's like Communist Russia in my room, except instead of no food we don't have Anchorman."
Eleven years later, and things have changed, for better and for worse. For one, my surroundings have gone from Play-Doh and Fruit-Roll Ups to AP Chemistry textbooks and Lean Cuisines.
"If he finds out we've been in here he's going to kill us. Slow and painful. Rip off our nipples and press salted lemon slices to the open wounds."
"You'd like that, wouldn't you sweetheart?"
"Leave it to you to find a sexual connotation to extreme and unusual punishment."
Casey Loughlin has been my best friend for way too long. We should've gotten bored with each other, sick of our habits and faces by the start of middle school. But sixth grade came and went and we made it through switching classes and Tuck Everlasting, then seventh with braces and different lunch periods, and at eighth grade graduation we were so sure that it had to be the end now. There was no way we were going to get through Freshman year together, maybe the summer before if that. Now, almost at the end of our sophomore year, we're still going strong. We've lasted longer than anyone else. We are young, heartache to heartache we stand, so on and so forth.
The reason why probably also has to do with the fact that she's Jack's younger cousin, and they live together. Growing up I'd hero-worshipped the crap out of Jack, idolizing everything he did and said, marveling at just his general awesomeness. He listened to bands I never heard of, read whole books in one sitting, taught me swear words and how to properly right-hook someone. And I took any opportunity to be near him, even if it meant play dates with his loud, brassy, K-Mart sandal wearing cousin.
But somewhere along the line things changed. They tend to do that over the span of a decade. Casey became more than just an excuse to see Jack, though she herself didn't change at all. Another thing that changed was Jack—something that I've never been able to put my finger on other than the fact that he was a man now. And oh God did I love it.
Casey pulls out a cardboard box full of plastic DVD cases from under Jack's bed, "Ooh, jackpot."
I just stand uncomfortable in the doorway, arms crossed and legs brought tightly together, eyes scanning the clutter and the walls. Jack's room smells too much like him. In the few times I've actually gotten close enough to breathe in the bleeding scent of acrylic paint, drug store deodorant, and Fruity Pebbles cereal, I'd taken to memorizing it. The walls leaked this smell, overpowering the tiny space full of stacked books and CDs, half-finished canvases and pinned doodles on the corkboard popped up behind his desk. The poster of a young, black and white Morrissey still hangs over his unmade bed just like it did the day I first saw it.
"He won't care that we're in here. I bet he'd love the idea of you in his bedroom."
My face burns, "Casey."
"Don't get your sweater vest in a bunch, I'm only fucking with you," she snorts and hold up two cases. "Dilemma—Step Brothers or Anchorman?"
"Can't we just watch those episodes of the Millionaire Matchmaker you have recorded on your DVR?" I whine, leaning against the doorframe.
"I swear to God—how has no one figured out that you're gay yet?"
Heat creeps up my neck again, and I feel like people can hear it through the walls—Jory Kilver, apartment 6B, is gay. Please feel free to stereotype him as an overly flamboyant, overtly sexual, Godless heathen with an extensive knowledge of all things Cher.
"Because I told the boys in the locker room I got to second base with you."
"Was this before or after you got caught staring at their packages?"
A voice breaths into my ear, "Who's package are we staring at?"
I jump, driving my shoulder into the doorframe, but the pain is drowned out by the pounding pulse of my heart against my rib cage and my lung's desperate grasp for oxygen.
"Hey kiddo—how's it hanging?" Jack shoots me a messy grin and ruffles my curls—his face so close to mine I can count the faded summertime freckles across the bridge of his nose. Words…I need them, but I can't say anything. He slings an arm around my neck and says in saturated sweetness, "What've I told you guys about going through my room?"
"That we could possibly find your stash of homoerotic S&M magazines and you won't be held responsible for exposing minors of hardcore pornography?" Casey blinks.
"Something along those lines. So what are we watching?" his arm is still around me, his arm is still around me, his arm is still around me.
"Debating with which Will Farrell flick will make my pants happy," Casey shrugs.
"Huh…I was kind of hankering to watch those Millionaire Matchmaker episodes we have on the TiVo."
Casey huffs, tossing the DVDs over her shoulders, not caring when they crash against the far bedroom wall. She rockets to her feet and pushes past us in the doorway, muttering, "God I never thought I'd be double-teamed by two gay guys."

Heist (2001)
0 wallpapers
Veteran thief, Joe Moore (Gene Hackman), is a pro who has done his last job. Now he just wants to get out of the business and sail off in to the sunset. But with his "fence", Bergman (Danny DeVito), holding back on the money from the last robbery, Joe and his team are not going anywhere - not until they pull off the mother of all heists. To ensure Moore and his team do the job his way, Bergman is sending his young, arrogant nephew, Jimmy Silk, to oversee it. With little respect and a thin veil of trust hanging over the job, pulling off the heist is the least of Moore's fears.Starring: Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito, Delroy Lindo, Sam Rockwell, Rebecca Pidgeon, Patti LuPone

Kristen Jaymes Stewart (born April 9, 1990) is an American actress. She is best known for playing Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga. She has starred in other films, including Panic Room (2002), Zathura (2005), In the Land of Women (2007), The Messengers (2007), Adventureland (2009), The Runaways (2010), and Snow White and the Huntsman. She will star in upcoming films in 2012: On the Road and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.
Stewart was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her father, John Stewart, is a stage manager and television producer who has worked for Fox. Her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart, is a script supervisor originally from Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia. She has an older brother, Cameron Stewart, and an adopted brother, Taylor. Stewart attended school until the seventh grade and then continued her education by correspondence. She has since completed high school.
Her whole family all worked behind the camera and Stewart thought she would become a writer/director, but never considered being an actor. "I never wanted to be the center of attention – I wasn't that 'I want to be famous, I want to be an actor' kid. I never sought out acting, but I always practiced my autograph because I love pens. I'd write my name on everything." Stewart's acting career began at the age of eight, after an agent saw her perform in her elementary school's Christmas play. After a year of auditioning, Stewart's first role was a small nonspeaking part in the Disney Channel original film The Thirteenth Year. Then, she had another part in the film The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas as the "ring toss girl". She subsequently appeared in the independent film The Safety of Objects, in which she played the tomboy daughter of a troubled single mother (Patricia Clarkson). Stewart also played a tomboy in the film Panic Room, playing the diabetic daughter of a divorced mother (Jodie Foster). She was nominated for a Young Artist Award for her performance.

Burger Liquor Lobster, Manly, Sydney
Manly is a suburb which behaves as if it is perpetually on spring break. The natives walk around in swimwear, or barely covered up in resortwear. Seriously. I saw girls in neoprene bikinis at the intersection, guys in boardshorts, and then there were the men walking through the Corso in swimming shorts that looked like underwear. Sometimes you just have to avert your eyes. There are ice-cream stands, juice stands and hot dog stands. There were toddlers playing in fountains, and buskers singing. It's a happy, shiny, chilled out place.
All 4 Manly Council carparks have two hour free parking, which makes for a nice little excursion. BL and I go to Manly for really just one thing, - the ridiculously sublime Brookvale Union ginger beer at 4 Pines Brewery. We haul home a case at a time, great value at $60. And when we are there, we try out lunch spots.
We were hunting for Chur Burger at Manly Wharf Hotel, right by the ferry terminal, not realising that the pop-up was over, and in its place was now Burger Liquor Lobster. Still, this was tasty enough, that I convinced BL to make a repeat visit.The counter for Burger Liquor Lobster is separate from the main Manly Wharf Hotel counter, go to the far right end and you'll see this tiny outpost.
The menu is simple, 5 burger options for $10 each, $16 cocktail options, $15 lobster, prawns and crab options. There are also side options of fries and salads. There is no table service, you order at the counter, and the pager will let you know when your order is ready to be picked up from the kitchen counter. The first visit, BL and I ordered a beef burger, a crab burger and a lobster cobb salad to share. These don't look big, but they are filling enough.

PappaRich, Chatswood, Sydney
PappaRich, a Malaysian restaurant franchise, is burning a path across Australia with 15 branches across 4 states and counting. Their very enthusiastic ambassador is Poh Ling-Yeow, Masterchef Season 1 runner-up (and whom I believe, along with many other viewers, should have been the winner). I'm a staunch believer that any success for a Malaysian restaurant is a success for Malaysian cuisine, but then again, as a typical Malaysian, we are the harshest critic when it comes to the delivery.
PappaRich has also hit the news for the wrong reasons. The Broadway branch in Sydney has been accused of student exploitation, paying former Malaysian student staff under the legal entitlement and withholding penalty rates and superannuation. The matter is with the courts.
I have never had PappaRich back in Malaysia, as they are a West Malaysian franchise. This was my first experience of their menu. I had read several reviews which waxed lyrical about the taste of their dishes, and was keen to check them out.

Gumshara Ramen, Haymarket, Sydney
Gumshara Ramen is the star of Eating World Harbour Plaza Foodcourt in Chinatown. In this somewhat ordinary foodcourt, the red banners, massive signage, and a queue direct you to this small stall, famous for tonkotsu ramen. Tonkotsu is an uber rich pork broth; the bones are boiled for so long that the marrow and pork fat emulsifies into the stock. Gumshara does not serve tonkotsu ramen between 3-5pm when they replenish the bones and prepare the soup for the dinner service.
I like fat, who doesn't? The very best flavours are carried in fat. But this is so fatty that tonkotsu has to be eaten hot otherwise the fat starts to congeal, and can be unpleasant.

Dos Senoritas, Crows Nest, Sydney
My expectations of Mexican food is pretty low at this, the wrong side of the Pacific Ocean. Auckland goes for the hip and trendy Tex-Mex or fusion versions, which is fun and tasty, if somewhat manufactured and more focused on getting imbibed than the food. I haven't really acquainted myself with the Mexican food scene here in Sydney, as the ones named on the 'best of' lists seem to be in the parts of town where the cool people hang out and parking is a mission in itself.
Dos Senoritas, by sheer luck, is a 10-minute walk from our apartment. You don't need a booking even though it is a popular eatery, service is quick and friendly. The original branch is in Gladesville. Servings are massive (even by BL's standards). Dos Senoritas claim to bring authentic Mexican cuisine from the streets of Guadalajara. The walls are decorated with depictions of Mexican images, expect Mayan temples, Day of the Dead art, ponchos and sombreros.
The menu is divided into starters, burritos, salads and sandwiches, combo plates and specialties. Most of their dishes come with guacamole (the real stuff, just avocado, lime, coriander, onions and jalapenos), pico (fresh salad made with diced tomato and onions), sour cream, beans and rice. They provide complementary corn chips with a spicy salsa.

Hunter Valley food hunt, New South Wales, Australia
What better way to follow up a trip to the South Australia wine regions than an encore weekend to Hunter Valley? The two regions are a stark contrast. While SA had a laid back vibe with its myriad of heritage towns and artisan producers, Hunter Valley was more commercial, with over a 150(!) wineries packed into the small region. It is busy with coach-loads of tourists, resorts and to my surprise, chain 'artisan' shops. Okay, my disappointment is showing.
The region of Hunter Valley covers the villages of Lovedale, Mount View, Broke Fordwich, Cessnock and at its epicentre, Pokolbin, where some of the original pioneering wineries are located.

Andre's Cucina & Polenta Bar, Adelaide, South Australia
Adelaide is becoming quite the dining mecca with its great local produce, and is attracting both emerging and established culinary talents to set up fresh, innovative eateries.
BL and I wanted somewhere casual-ish but modern, and Andre's Cucina & Polenta Bar (by Masterchef finalist Andre Ursini for those who watch the show) fit the bill perfectly. The eatery focuses on Northern Italian cuisine. Another winning feature was its menu fisso ($59 per person), a feast of 5 selected dishes to share.

The American Pit Bull Terrier, also known at times as the Pit Bull, the Pit Bull Terrier, the American Bull, the American Pit Bull, the American Pit Bull Dog, the Pit Dog, the Half-and-Half, the American Bull Terrier, the Yankee Terrier, the Yankee Bull Terrier and the Staffordshire Terrier, descends from the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of England. This is a well-balanced dog whose tremendous strength is unusual for its moderate size. Pit Bulls, who are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, share a common history with the AKC-recognized American Staffordshire Terrier. Pit Bulls, like Am Staffs, are stocky, powerful yet agile, well-muscled and highly intelligent. Although descended from dogs bred for bull baiting and pit fighting, and unfortunately still used by unscrupulous owners in illegal dog fighting circles, Pit Bulls have many remarkable qualities, including their gameness, trainability, loyalty and affection.
The Staffordshire Terrier was accepted for registration in the American Kennel Club Stud Book in 1936. The name of the breed was revised in 1972 to the American Staffordshire Terrier, to distinguish it from the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of England, which is much lighter in weight. The American Pit Bull Terrier was the first breed registered with the United Kennel Club, in 1898. Pit Bulls and Am Staffs are virtually the same animal, with different club registrations. Most Pit Bulls are between 17 and 19 inches at the withers and weigh on average between 60 and 80 pounds. Their short, stiff, glossy coat can be of any color or color combination. Pit Bulls require minimal grooming; brushing with a firm-bristled brush and an occasional bath should suffice.
With so many dog breeds to choose from, sometime it's easier to seach based on certain characterisitcs.
There is more to caring for your dog than just feeding it. Find out all you need to know to make sure your pet stays healthy.
A dog's behavior plays a key role in making a great pet. Training your dog makes a happier dog, and you will be happier too.

Stretching Out : Best Fit meets Gerard Love
Gerard Love is known for being one-third of one of the finest song writing triptychs of the past 20 years through his role in the enduring and wonderful Teenage Fanclub. Through records like Bandwagonesque, Thirteen and Grand Prix to name but three of the band's albums, Love was always the one that wrote the driving, instant pop 'hits' compared to Norman Blake's more thoughtful and intricate songs, and the solid craftsmanship of Raymond McGinley. But now that the band reconvene to make music less often – just two albums since 2005 – Love has turned his attention to another project, Lightships. Debut record Electric Cables is probably the dream album for Fannies fans that always wanted a record of Gerard Love-penned tracks, and is a great example of all that's good about Love and his writing. Yet it's something quite different to a Teenage Fanclub album, being a mellow mood piece that pulls back on the guitars and focuses on other instrumentation. I caught up with Gerard in a Glasgow cafe to talk about Lightships, how the album came about and I couldn't miss the chance to talk about Teenage Fanclub which, as it turned out, revealed some interesting truths behind the popular view of the band.
After some chat about the relative merits of Hamilton (my home town) versus Motherwell (Gerry's home town), we get down to business. Why a record under the name Lightships rather than under his own name – is it a band or a solo project? "It's a kind of parallel thing really, I don't want to assign it as 'it's this, or it's that'. I was definitely sure I didn't want to release it under my own name," admits Gerard. "The record has come out on Geographic, which is Stephen and Katrina's label, they're cool and they kind of understand me and know what makes me tick and they probably didn't expect me to release it under my own name…some of the people in London though I kind of had to explain myself to, you know?" And it seems that Gerard is happy with the name Lightships: "Using simple terms, I saw the Lightships posters up on Byres Road and I was really taken aback by it, and if I'd seen my name on it I'd kind of be appalled by it! When you do what you do, you're not really you. 100% of the time I'm Gerard Love, or Gerry Love…. your name is the good, bad and ugly of your life but when you're doing music you always try and make it the perfect example of what can be achieved by me or anyone else when they create what they create. Although some of my favourite music has been created by people using their own name, Lightships is a kind of curtain between the real me, and the 'me' that's doing the music. I like the mystery of the nom-de-plume!"
I ask Gerard about the selection of the name Lightships, and what it represents. "I went through a period of thinking of what I wanted to call it," he begins, "and it kind of just appeared in my brain! I dunno if I'd been reading something about lighthouses, and I thought there must have been a band called that already. But I looked on MySpace, and then I saw a few lightships.com but they were all promotional companies… but I just like the idea of lighthouses, and the lightship is just a more dangerous example of that." Are the songs on the record songs that Gerard's had for a while, and or were they ever intended for a Teenage Fanclub record? "It goes back a long way," he reveals. "It was suggested to me probably late 2007, and I started thinking about making an LP. The songs were always intended for Lightships, the dimensions of them are quite old – well, the backing tracks – and I started working on them when I had time after a Teenage Fanclub tour to get lyrics and definitive melodies…and it was 2010 when they became defined." That's quite a long time to get from the idea to the record. "Well when I count up the time in studio over three or four years, it's actually only about 30 days! When you're younger you're maybe more dedicated to one thing and pour yourself into that…but now I've got more responsibilities, even musical responsibilities when it comes to people I know and work with. It just takes more time and I need to switch off and do my normal everyday thing, like everyone does I suppose. So, yeah, they're certainly quite old but they feel like new deliveries."
I'm intrigued as to why Lightships has appeared now, given that Teenage Fanclub reconvenes on a less regular basis than in the past, and I ask if it's true that Stephen and Katrina from The Pastels encouraged him to take this step. "Yeah, they're good friends and I've been involved in The Pastels for while now", says Gerry. "They've been very supportive of a lot of bands through Geographic and Monorail [a record store/cafe, run in part by Stephen]. Mono in particular is a great addition to the Glasgow scene… but I've been good friends with Stephen for a long time, and a while ago back in the 1990s when Mono first started he suggested a solo record." And did he not take him up on the offer then? "I was definitely flattered by it, but I knew it wasn't the right time for it, it wasn't the right time for me and I might not have been confident enough to go out on my own at that point. Plus, Teenage Fanclub was quite a big thing at that time; we were still on the up-and-up. I think that was 1996 or 1997, around the Grand Prix time. We were still unexplored, we still had potential and I didn't know what was going to happen. Now… it's more predictable!" So it's easier to do things outside the band now? "I think Teenage Fanclub has become defined as a pastime… and I think that comes after time. It's been a hell of a long time; when you think about the greats, the Beatles was ten years and even if you think about from the start of the Beatles until the end of John Lennon's life it's just a 20 year period, and when you're young you think of them as being around forever. Once you go beyond that – Rolling Stones excepted – it's kind of unusual… so we only feel like we have to work every three or four years." Does that mean basically when it feels right? "Yeah, it's a natural thing," he agrees. "I think if we were on a record label there'd be pressure, but if we're the record company then we can chill out, and we all do other things…and it's good to do other things in your life. You can choose to stay at home rather than be on the road."
The conversation drifts briefly away from Lightships at this point, but Gerard is happy to talk about TFC and life on the road with the band. I mention that they've been touring for the best part of 20 years, and back in 1991 Bandwagonesque was voted Spin magazine's album of the year, so the States around that time must have been a thrill for them all. Gerard, though, clears up a few misconceptions about that whole period: "Ah well, the story of that is a bit more straightforward. It's just the fact that the editor of Spin was the drummer from Orange Juice, Steven Daly! We were making good headway at the time… and it was good to travel. But I do prefer road travel rather than flying to places like Japan or America… Australia would be even worse!"

Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the msseces.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

The Comedy Pigs to Celebrate 20th Anniversary, 8/23-24
The Comedy Pigs, Maryland Ensemble Theatre's (MET) hilarious sketch and improv group, will celebrate 20 years of laughter with shows on August 23 and 24 at 8pm.
About the 20th Anniversary Weekend MET's Artistic Director and original Pig, Tad Janes said, "20 years! It's incredible...something that started in the living room of an apartment on Church Street now has a theatre space and has lasted this long!" On April 3, 1993 in the back room of Olde Town Tavern on Market Street, The Comedy Pigs troupe debuted in front of a packed house of 106 ticket holders. Since then, the Pigs have written hundreds of sketches and songs, played over 500 performances, and have had over 40 people call themselves "Pigs."
Returning for the 20th Anniversary Weekend will be original trope membersLincoln Wilson (Charleston, S.C.), Amy Hagood (Alexandria), Genè and Randy Fouchè, and Tad Janes. "We might get 100% of the originals", said Janes. Other long time Pigs that will be returning are Rona Mensah, Joel Bowers, Scott Striffler (Cleveland), Tom Majaraov, and Wendy Donnigian (Baltimore). The performances will include classic sketches like "Weiner Dog", which was featured on Comedy Central, The Dill Bread sketch, "Imperial World", and songs like "Interjection" and "People in Your Neighborhood".
"It's such a reunion! Playing sketches when you haven't seen these people in years, and really getting a chance to hang out together is the biggest benefit, if the audience has half as much fun as us then they're going to be glad they came out.", said Janes.
The Anniversary shows on August 23 and 24 will take place at 8pm at the Maryland Ensemble Theatre (31 W Patrick St.), located downtown in the historic FSK Hotel. Tickets are $21.50 (all fees included) and may be purchased online at marylandensemble.org, by phone at (301) 694-4744 or in person at the MET box office.

Dave Olson, Published August 27 2010
Attorney: Moorhead fire chief didn't leak information
"My understanding is he (Hewitt) didn't do it. He wouldn't have had any crime scene information to know, or share, and he's cooperated with that investigation," said Trevor Oliver, an attorney with Kelly & Lemmons, a law firm in the Twin Cities.
Moorhead City Manager Michael Redlinger, who placed Hewitt on administrative leave with pay on Tuesday, said Wednesday that the city is looking into allegations of "official misconduct" but would disclose no details.
Redlinger said late Thursday afternoon that he had no further comment on the case.
Moorhead Mayor Mark Voxland said the city's internal investigation is civil, not criminal.
However, there is a separate investigation being done by police, according to Police Chief David Ebinger, who said he couldn't discuss specifics of an active investigation, though he confirmed Hewitt was the subject of the probe.
Oliver said when Moorhead police contacted Hewitt to ask him questions, Hewitt contacted the law firm, after which Hewitt agreed to talk to a police detective.
"The detective should have been able to speak to Joel and get the information he wanted," Oliver said.
Oliver added that before the law firm gave the OK for Hewitt to talk to police, Oliver spoke with a detective himself to find out what police wanted to know.
Oliver said a detective told him that authorities were looking into claims made by a woman who said Hewitt told her details about the scene of the double homicide and police wanted to know whether anything was disclosed that could potentially harm the case.
"Really, they're doing it to understand what had been released: what damage, if any, had actually been done to their investigation as far as details they were trying to keep under wraps and any witnesses that might have been compromised," Oliver said.
"My sense from Joel is, there are none, there couldn't have been any," he added.
The double homicide in question likely involves John Cadotte and Megan Londo, whose bodies were found after firefighters arrived at the scene of a suspected arson fire in Moorhead on Feb. 19.
The structure at 901 9th Ave. S. is a three-unit apartment just east of the Concordia College campus.
In connection with that case, a grand jury that convened earlier this week in Clay County District Court handed down a first-degree murder indictment Wednesday against Tracy Alan Zornes of Naytahwaush, Minn.
Aside from the Moorhead police probe, Oliver said he is not aware of any other investigations focusing on Hewitt.
Ebinger said he is aware of at least one other investigation that Hewitt may be tied to, but added, "I don't know if he (Hewitt) is an object of that investigation."
Hewitt was named Moorhead's fire chief in March 2004.
Before that, he was head of the St. Anthony (Minn.) Fire Department.
Prior to his tenure as fire chief in St. Anthony, Hewitt was fire chief in Maplewood, Minn.
Oliver said lawyers from his firm served as city attorneys in Maplewood during the time Hewitt was the city's fire chief.
Hewitt declined comment when reached at his home Thursday.
Moorhead's fire marshal, Rich Duysen, has been named acting fire chief while Hewitt is on administrative leave.

1893-CC Branch Mint Proof Morgan Dollar, PR64 Cameo1893-CC $1 PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Over the years we have seen perhaps half a dozen branch mint proof 1893-CC dollars. In 1995 the characteristics of these pieces were published in a Coin World article, along with the characteristics of seven other branch mint proof dollars from the Anita Maxwell Trust.
Later Striking and a Previously Unknown Coin
Later Striking and a Previously Unknown Coin
When this coin is compared to the notes taken at that time, it is apparent that this piece is a later striking. This is evident from the lack or diminished lumps of die rust noted on the Maxwell coin, as well as other proof 1893-CC dollars seen since. Additional evidence of the lateness of the strike is seen from the extensive die cracking around the obverse periphery. Initially die cracks were noted as only extending from stars 2-3, 5-7 and 8-11. On this piece, however, the initial crack begins faintly on the inside of star 1 and extends through all the stars and letters through the R in PLURIBUS; another faint crack then starts from the left of the B through the top of that letter and ends in the denticles between B and I. In addition to the expected crack through stars 8-11, another crack begins in the denticles between stars 9-10 and terminates at star 11. The reverse cracks are the same as noted in the 1995 article.
It is not known for certain how many proof 1893-CC dollars were struck or exist today. Allegedly Wayte Raymond stated that a dozen were produced, but there is no documentation to support this claim. That number would seem to be a reasonable estimate of the number struck, but may be slightly high in terms of the number extant when one examines the coins offered at public auctions over the past 15 years.
The surfaces on this piece are brilliant throughout. One of the known examples shows pronounced roller marks over Liberty's ear. On this piece, strong magnification reveals just the faintest trace of roller marks. By way of an identifier for pedigree purposes, there is a small, double checked planchet lamination in the reverse field to the right of the eagle's right (facing) wing. As PCGS indicates, the devices and fields are noticeably contrasted on each side. It is a rare occurrence when a branch mint proof dollar is available for purchase. The astute collector will recognize this as a major collecting opportunity. Population: 2 in 64, 3 finer (6/11).(Registry values: P8) (NGC ID# 27ZP, PCGS# 7347)
