Cafe Society: Local places to find some fun with your food
A reader asked recently for a customized list of Ventura County restaurants that are fun, quirky and (preferably) locally owned. I sketched out a list, checked it twice — then forgot to send it to him. My bad.
So here it is for everyone to take a look at and, hopefully, to add to. (You can do so by sending e-mail to the address at the end of this column.) I've listed places alphabetically.
Flip Flops in the Channel Islands Harbor, 2800 S. Harbor Blvd., Oxnard. 815-3317: Everything at this casual eatery comes cooked on a skewer. As if that weren't fun enough, there's this: The new restaurant owned by Gary Richards (who also owns The Lookout Bar & Grill upstairs) also has a miniature "beach" out on the patio.
Fresh & Fabulous, 401 South A St., Oxnard. 486-4547: After moving from its original, and much smaller, location just around the corner, the cafe and bakery owned and operated by Magda Weydt is still in Oxnard's old Woolworth Building. It just makes better use of it now, serving a mix of Mediterranean-inspired salads, soups and sandwiches in a spacious dining room where the decor is part 1950s lunch counter, part 1960s "Mad Men." Don't miss the Woolworth Museum in the foyer, or the (working!) vintage coin-operated lotion and perfume dispensers in the ladies' room.
Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop, Old Town Camarillo, 2619 Ventura Blvd. 987-7632: OK, so it's not technically a restaurant. As its name implies, this store in the old (and thoroughly renovated) Buckhorn Saloon space sells soda pop and candy, along with novelty items. (Owner Ryan Morgan says the big seller among the toys and gag gifts is a pair of tiny "tighty whiteys" billed as squirrel underpants.) If you find yourself getting hungry, step up to the counter and ask them to order a pie for you from Tony's Pizza around the corner. They'll deliver to the picnic table just outside the shop's side door.
Scheck & Shay's Rockin' Diner, 3907 Cochran St., Simi Valley. 306-9566: Inspired by '50s diners (think tuck 'n' roll upholstery on the booths), Scheck & Shay's gives a nod to modern-day eating out via the sheer supersized portions of some of its dishes. Consider: As part of first-anniversary celebrations earlier this year, co-owner Joby Schechter organized a glorified eating contest starring "Double Trouble" versions of the diner's Da Bomb hamburger, already so huge it comes stabbed by a steak knife to keep it from falling apart on the plate.
Ventura Wine Co./The Cave, 4435 McGrath St., Suite 301, Ventura. 642-9449: Part retail wine store, part wine bar with a small-plates menu that includes house-made desserts, this place owned by "Nick's Picks" Nick Fisher adds up to something you certainly wouldn't expect to find in an industrial park. Adding to the fun quotient: Although the food is delivered to your table, you serve your own wine using the Enomatic machine, which dispenses 1-, 3- and 5-ounce pours. Then you sit in the on-premises "cave" and sip away.
ONWARD IN OJAI: If all goes as planned, Treasure Beach & Cafe will have quietly reopened by the time you read this. More cafe than boutique this time around, and with a greater emphasis on Italian cuisine, the restaurant at 2 p.m. Saturday will be the setting for a soup tasting and book signing celebrating the publication of Anna Thomas' new cookbook, "Love Soup: 160 All-New Recipes from the Author of 'The Vegetarian Epicure' " (W.W. Norton & Co., $22.95 paperback, $35 hardcover). Treasure Beach & Cafe is at 928 E. Ojai Ave.; call 640-0611.
OPEN, SHUT AND IN BETWEEN: Formerly located in the down-at-the-heels Carriage Square center, China Square Chinese Restaurant has moved to another Oxnard spot: the Centennial Plaza. Specialties include Happy Family, a combination of scallops, shrimp and abalone with chicken, pork and, last but not least, vegetables (450 South B St.; 487-9988).
In Ventura, Tacone has closed in Gateway Plaza and Juice on Chestnut is now just a downtown memory.
But in Thousand Oaks, the transformation of the old Cantina Joannafina space into Kanda Sushi is progressing toward a hoped-for mid-October opening, said owner Keith Musante. Manning the sushi counter will be local-legend chef Mitsu.

Ethas: Embrace of Destiny is a modification for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim being developed by Justin Hardin and Elijah Houck, the team that brought you the mod Alton, Il. for Fallout 3. In Embrace of Destiny, you will explore the lands of Arelia and Virardan, two countries currently at war with each other. Your role starts you out as one of the five famous Captains of the Arelian Army. Choices will be made, and sides will be chosen. There is only one question that remains: will you become the hero or the villain?
A little update featuring some of the new weapons that will be Ethas: Embrace of Destiny.
Posted by jhardingame on Oct 23rd, 2012
J here with an update! Some have asked about new weapons that would be in Ethas: Embrace of Destiny. Well today we finally have something to show you all! In the render below, we have the blades that are part of the Ethisian Steel Weapon set, modeled and textured by our own Kevin Eriksen.
The weapons showed above are as followed;
- Ethisian Steel Dagger
- Ethisian Steel Shortsword
- Ethisian Steel Longsword
- Ethisian Steel Claymore
This is just a part of the full weapon set Kevin is working on, too include the above blades, bow and arrow, etc. This is just one of many of the new weapon sets that Ethas will have. But of course, we all know you just want to see an in-game screenshot, so here you go;
Shown within the same pic is not only some of the Ethisian Steel Weapons, but a piece of the Great Valley region, and also an insight as to what you will encounter while exploring.
We'd also like to welcome a new addition to our crew. Ceri Rogers (aka DiGiTALZOMBiE) is joining us as an architectural modeler. Get ready for some incredible new architectural styles in Ethas. Hopefully we'll have the chance to show off some of his work in our Winter Update, so stay tuned!

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 7/25/12
The Hideki Matsui era in Tampa Bay began with a bang three months ago, a jammed press conference at Tropicana Field that included some 40 members of the Japanese media, followed by a pair of towering home runs in two of his first three games. It ended Wednesday afternoon with a whimper, a short press release announcing that Matsuis days as a Ray were over. The slumping Japanese slugger had gone from designated hitter to designated for assignment, making room for newly acquired veteran infielder Ryan Roberts on the 40-man roster. That means the Rays have 10 days to trade Matsui, release him or place him on waivers the latest move for a team still looking for a way to kick-start its ailing offense while awaiting the return of injured star Evan Longoria. The only questions now: Will the 38-year-old icon nicknamed Godzilla hang up his cleats for good after a remarkable career in his home country and the United States, and what happens to the large contingent of Japanese writers and...

#1 (5 weeks) hit single by The Emotions in 1977
"I Will Survive" is a song first performed by Gloria Gaynor, released in October 1978. It was written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris. A top-selling song after its initial release, it has remained a popular disco anthem, certified as double platinum by the RIAA. The song's lyrics describe the narrator's discovery of personal strength following an initially devastating breakup, delivered with increasing confidence and backed by a stirring instrumental accompaniment. It is one of the most famous disco songs of all time and remains Gaynor's biggest hit. It received heavy airplay in 1979, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and in the UK on consecutive days.
Originally released as the B-side to a cover version of the Righteous Brothers song "Substitute", "I Will Survive" became a worldwide hit for Gaynor when disc jockeys played that side of the record instead. New copies of the record were eventually pressed with "I Will Survive" as the A-side. ("Substitute" itself peaked at number 107 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.)
The song received the Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording in 1980, the only year the award was given. It is ranked #492 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and ranked at #97 on Billboard magazine's "All-Time Hot 100". [1][dead link] In 2000 the song was ranked #1 in VH1's list of the 100 greatest dance songs.[1] Comedian George Carlin, however, listed it without comment as item 9 on his list of "10 Most Embarrassing Songs of All Time".[2]
A promotional video was filmed in 1979 at the New York discothèque called Xenon. Sheila Reid-Pender of Harlem, NY is the featured skater in the video from the skating group, The Village Wizards. Although three videos were filmed that day, the "I Will Survive" video was the only one to survive. The video can be seen on VH-1 and You Tube.
Following the success of fellow 1970s disco stars Sister Sledge with remixed singles in the UK in 1993, "I Will Survive" was also remixed and released that summer. This remix reached number five on the UK Singles Chart.
Robbie Williams sampled the song in his 2000 hit, 'Supreme'.
Featured in the film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), and stage musical, Priscilla Queen of the Desert – the Musical

Just minutes after Yahoo! (NSDQ: YHOO) announced today's acquisition of ad firm interclick came the news that a law firm was investigating whether interclick's board had shortchanged its shareholders. Like patent trolls, these shareholder "investigations" have become an unavoidable legal landmine for the tech industry.
Levi Korinsky, the firm that filed the suit, claims the interclick board may have breached its duty to shareholders by selling at $9/share when one analyst had valued the company at $10/share.
This year alone, it seems like every significant tech merger that involves the acquisition of a public company has been followed by a shareholder suit. After eBay's $2.4 billion acquisition of GSI Commerce in March, for instance, the deal was snared by a lawsuit that settled a short time later. Ditto ISP Windstream's $2.3 billion acquisition of telecom firm Paetec. And "concerned" Motorola (NYSE: MMI) Mobility shareholders this August sued to stop Google (NSDQ: GOOG) from paying $12 billion to acquire the floundering company.
These lawsuits typically follow a four-part formula:
- A class action firm stalks a potential merger involving a public company and then strikes with a class action threat as soon as the deal closes, stating the board of the target company should have held out for a few dollars more. And if the deal falls through, the firm can sue the board for rejecting it.
- The law firm ferrets out shareholders to put their name on the suit. These "named plaintiffs" typically stand to gain a small cash pay-out and steak dinners at the law firm's favorite restaurant.
- The law firm quickly obtains a settlement from the companies, which are anxious to conclude the merger and avoid court delays.
- The settlement obliges the target company to publish a notice or engage in some other formality. It also obliges them to provide for the plaintiff shareholders' legal fees (in other words, pay the law firm hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars).
The merger lawsuit phenomenon first came to public attention in January when the Wall Street Journal reported that the number of securities-related class actions had spiked from 27 in 2006 to 216 in 2010. Today's Yahoo! announcement suggests that the trend is not abating and that the technology sector is a prime target.
There is, of course, a place for these class actions — for instance, when a board conspires to sell a company on the cheap in return for personal gain. But there is no evidence this happened in the Yahoo! deal or in the Google acquisition (Motorola Mobility investors are probably still turning cartwheels..).

New stoner ad from Ben & Jerry's parodies an Apple classic
Is this a new era of marketing directly to stoners?
In Ben & Jerry's new ad for its in-shop confection, the Brrr-ito, a young woman wearing an ice cream server's uniform runs into a room of slack-jawed young men staring at a screen showing a boring old ice cream bar.
What happens next should be no surprise to those of you who remember Ridley Scott's famous ad for Apple in 1984 introducing the Mac.

Lady Gaga is always ready for her close-up.
It's been over two months since mama Monster's hip injury and it finally looks like she's fully recovered and back to her offbeat ways. Leave it to Gaga to wear crazy high platform heels after undergoing surgery.
The singer was spotted strutting through New York City last night in a one-shoulder black dress, glittery retro sunglasses and...a furry yellow accessory? We won't ask.
PHOTO: Lady Gaga recovers from hip surgery in gold wheelchair
Her casual outing comes after performing for the first time on Monday since the injury that led to canceling her Born This Way Ball tour.
The pop star joined jazz trumpeter Brian Newman in Gramercy Park Hotel for a special cover of "Someone to Watch Over Me" that wowed the crowd. "Thanks to the 1&only @ladygaga for coming out to @GPHhotel tonight an singing a song!!" Newman tweeted after the show.
While no word has been released on any upcoming tours, we're sure it won't be long until Gaga is rocking out in giant venues again.
PHOTOS: It's needless to say that Gaga has become a fashion icon, but see just how far she pushes the limits!

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 6/18/12
Remember 48 hours ago when Scott Brooks and the Oklahoma City Thunder were determined not to change Russell Westbrook's hyper-aggressive playing style? No worries. Scott Brooks doesn't remember either. Sunday night, with the Thunder up six points midway through the third quarter and flirting with taking control of Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Scott Brooks decided to temper Westbrook's hyper-aggressive playing style. He benched his All-Star point guard and quite possibly irreversibly changed the momentum of this best-of-seven series. In the matchup of young head coaches being dragged through the Finals by trios of superstars, Scott Brooks blinked before Erik Spoelstra. With Kevin Durant already on the OKC bench nursing his fourth foul (a Joey Crawford phantom call on a Dwyane Wade drive) and James Harden in the nasty throes of another miserable Finals shooting performance, Brooks sat Westbrook the last five minutes of the third quarter, foolishly tossing away the Thunder's momentum....

Interesting to hear Downey was down to 151 pounds when he made Sherlock Holmes. Weighed about 175 for Iron Man.Pudge, so are you going to use Downey's workout routine to get ripped?
Robert Downey Jr. Gained 20 Pounds of Muscle for 'Iron Man 2'
by Us Magazine · May 5, 2010
Robert Downey Jr. packed on 20 pounds of muscle to reprise his role in "Iron Man 2."
"When we did 'Iron Man 1,' we had five months before the shoot to get ready, so we used more traditional, heavy-weight training," his trainer, Brad Bose, tells UsMagazine.com. This time around, the actor, 45, had just wrapped "Sherlock Holmes," and was down to 151 pounds when shooting on the action flick (out May 7) began.
PHOTOS: Summer movie romances
"After [the first routine], Robert felt kind of bored with it and wanted to something a little more exciting... so we decided to do what I call a Rocky IV meets high-tech training," says Bose, who bulked Downey Jr. up to 175 pounds over the first three to four weeks filming.
Examples: "Instead of doing regular bench presses, we used a bamboo bar... and we would hang plates on rubber bands off the bar... so it was like trying to bench press a snake!" Bose explains. "It bounced all over the place."
PHOTOS: Shirtless guys!
Downey Jr. also pushed "a custom-built wheelbarrow that we modified with 600 to 700 lb. weight stacks" around an obstacle course.
"We went out and bought truck tires, and we used sledgehammers -- anywhere from, two 4-lb. sledgehammers in each hand, all the way up to a full 20-lb. sledgehammer -- and we were just beating tires with it. We used fire hoses that we filled with sand and water... and we'd drag and whip them to build the shoulder muscles and pecs back up."
They also juggled "weighted Indian clubs," hulled around kettle bells and even used a war machine, which Boyes explains is "like a rope with handles on it with a pulley -- you suspend yourself from it," says Bose.
"We tried to find the most unique, and yet funnily enough, inexpensive training stuff to use," he says. "You couldn't find more practical stuff to use."
VIDEO: How to get a six-pack
The two would meet around 9:30 in the morning and work out for an hour-and-a-half at least three days a week. Downey Jr. also trained in kung fu two to three days a week with Eric Oram.

Golden Lions v The Sharks - Live
Full time score 25-31. The celebrations from the Sharks shows what this victory means to them! A great victory for the coastal side away from home to take them to the top of the table with just two matches to play! The game could have gone either way after the home side fought their way back into the game after the Sharks opening blitz. Unfortunately the Lions failed to take advantage of opportunities when it counted and will be disappointed to have only got the 1 point out of the match.
80 The Lions throw everything at the Sharks who defend well. They go wide but the pass to Guy Cronje is not great and he fails to keep it in play! The Sharks win the Line out and clear to win the match! What a game of rugby!
78 The set up the maul successfully and drive over the line! The Lions are begging him to use the TMO and he opts for this as they go upstairs now.
77 The set up the maul successfully and drive over the line! The Lions are begging him to use the TMO and he opts for this as they go upstairs now.
76 The Lions are on the attack again and looking dangerous! They get close to the line before the Sharks steal the ball illegally! Decisions here for the home side. Easy three points on offer with time to score again...they opt for a line out!
74 The Lions fail to score from the line out as the Sharks clear. They lose the ball yet again after another line out...and then get penalized at the resulting scrum. Wasted opportunity for the Lions.
71 Replacement Monde Hadebe infringes at the breakdown to concede a penalty within kicking range. They opt for the line out clearly targeting the bonus point try!
69 CONVERSION, ZEILINGA, 25-31. Zeilinga makes no mistake with the kick.
68 TRY, SHARKS, REINACH, 25-29. Reinach snipes through after a good maul from the Sharks forwards. He shows plenty of toe and a great step to beat Janke to go under the poles for a try!
66 Marnitz Boshoff misses the conversion. Game on here at Ellis Park!
66 TRY, LIONS, KRIEL, 25-24. Brothers Guy and Ross Cronje seem to be getting the Lions going forward a bit more. After several waves of attack, the impressive Jaco Kriel breaks through for a great try!
59 The pace of the match is starting to take its toll on some of the players as we break for players cramping. This game could go either way as we head into the last quarter!
59 Good work from the Sharks forwards again as they turnover the Lions ball just outside the hosts 22. They go wide for Mvovo who carries up strongly. The Lions forwards work hard to win a scrum by keeping mvovo up.
54 Good work from Mtembu at the breakdown gets the Sharks a penalty. Zeilinga puts a great touch kick out just before the Lions try line. Unfortunately for the Sharks, Kyle Cooper's throw is not straight and the pressure is relieved for the Lions.
50 TRY, SHARKS, MARAIS, 20-24. The Sharks use turnover to attack. McLeod shows great pace to make a gap and passes beautifully inside to SP Marais to score and take them back in the lead!
48 Great play from the Lions through Whitely who makes a good break! Janke eventually gets the ball out wide but gets bundled into touch! Good early signs from the Lions.
45 PENALTY, SHARKS, ZEILINGA, 20-19. This man can do anything! Great strike from the young flyhalf to close the gap!
44 The Sharks have won a penalty due to an illegal entry by a Lions player at the ruck. Zeilinga is about 54m with a nit of an angle but he's going to have a shot!
43 The Lions spoil an early opportunity by knocking the ball on. Sharks will have a scrum in their own 22m. They are under pressure at scrum time but manage to clear successfully.
41 Jantjies restarts the match with a deep kick. Mthembu knocks on to give the Lions an early attacking scrum!
40 Halftime score 20-16 to the Lions. A great spectacle of rugby as both teams played some expansive running rugby. The Sharks brought loads of intensity and pace to the match especially through Fred Zeilinga to take an early lead. The Lions finally managed to get their heads in the game after the first 20min and managed to play some decent rugby to score two tries of their own. It will be interesting to see if the teams keep up the pace in the second half or whether they opt to play more strategically.
40 Sharks get penalized at scrum time. The Lions kick into touch to take us to halftime! What a first 40min of rugby!
39 Another great play from that man Zeilinga. He takes on two forwards, frees his arms and offloads to McLeod. He carries it forward before giving a forward pass to Ndungane.
38 CONVERSION, LIONS, JANTJIES, 20-16. Jantjies extends the lead for the home side.
37 Lions on the attack again and Justin Downey infringes again to give away a penalty. Its just out of Jantjies range and they have opted for a line out instead.
35 PENALTY, LIONS, JANTJIES, 13-16. Great kick from Elton to get the Lions within close range of the Sharks.
34 Lions fight back with some running rugby of their own! Finally Downey infringes and gets penalized. This game is being played at a frantic pace, not sure if they'll be able to keep this up. The ref has gone to the TMO to have a closer look at a Sharks player who may get further disciplined...
32 Great run from Ndungane who makes a half break and then offloads beautifully for Whitehead. He finds support in Charl McCleod who goes to ground. Lions win a penalty at the breakdown to get out of trouble!
30 SP Marais puts a great grubber through out into the 22m of the Lions. Clever tactical kick to put pressure on the hosts! The Sharks win the line out and are once again attacking in the Lions 22m! Zeilinga goes for a third drop goal but just misses!
28 That try has brought the Lions back into this game! Tonight has certainly been a spectacle already, both teams playing very positively!
26 CONVERSION, JANTJIES, 10-16. Jantjies adds the two to close the gap!
25 TRY, LIONS, MINNIE, 8-16. A good chip kick from Jantjies is collected by Ross Cronje to get the Lions some momentum. Volmink does well to create a 2 on 1 to put Minnie away for a try for the home side!
24 The Lions finally get a chance to run with the ball. Derick Minnie eventually knocks on! Feels like the Lions are just chasing the game at the moment.
21 PENALTY, SHARKS, ZEILINGA, 3-16. That's a full house for Zeilinga. He's scored in all possible manners within the first quarter of the match. Easy stuff.
20 The Sharks are continuing there dominance as they seem to be full of running tonight! The Sharks playing total rugby using all 15 men! Another good scrum from the Sharks results in a penalty in Zeilinga's range.
17 The Sharks are on fire tonight! Another great passage of play from them leads to good field possession. The Lions infringe at the breakdown and Zeilinga will have a shot at goal. The attempt just goes wide! Lions need to answer some serious questions here.
15 CONVERSION, ZELINGA, 3-13. Zeilinga adds to his tally!
14 TRY, SHARKS, ZEILINGA, 3-11. Zeilinga shows and goes beating the Lions rush defense! He offloads to a support runner who takes contact and offloads it back to zeilinga to round off a superb try for the Sharks! The Lions are stunned!
12 DROPGOAL, SHARKS, ZEILINGA, 3-6. Freddie Zeilinga makes a half break off an attacking scrum and offloads to Odwa Ndungane to continue the play. They crash it up once more with the forwards, before Zeilinga receives it in the pocket and slots his second drop of the night!
7 The Sharks get really to the try line through some powerful runs with the forwards. The Lions manage to turnover the ball and clear out of trouble through Marnitz Boshoff!
5 PENALTY, LIONS, JANTJIES, 3-3. Jantjies makes no mistake with his first attempt.
4 Lions with a great comeback off the kickoff. The build a few phases towards the Sharks line with a powerful run from Andries Coetzee. They eventually get held up over the line but go back for advantage. Jantjies will have a chance to level the score.
3 DROP GOAL, SHARKS, ZEILINGA, 0-3. Fred Zeilinga gets the ball just outside the 22m and slots a great dropkick attempt to give the Sharks the early lead!
1 The Sharks get us underway tonight through Fred Zeilinga. Ross Cronje starts with a shocker of a pass but Elton Jantjies does well to recover and find a decent clearance.
Lions news: In the pack, Chris van Zyl comes in at second row for Stephan Greef. Warren Whiteley has also recovered from a hip injury to return to the starting XV at number eight at the expense of Warwick Tecklenburg. This sees captain Derick Minnie move to the blindside flank. Saturday's backline remains unaltered, but Willie Britz earns a spot on the bench having overcome a shoulder strain, alongside Grant Janke, who also provides cover among the substitutes.
Sharks news: Openside flanker Marcel Coetzee and second-row Pieter-Steph Du Toit have been called-up for Springbok duty, and are replaced by Justin Downey and young lock Stephan Lewies respectively. Lewies makes his debut for the province.

American Idol
Who Is Shelby Lynn Tweten, the Bipolar American Idol Contestant? Season 11 Background Info
Shelby Lynn Tweten was bravely honest about her struggle with bipolar disorder in her American Idol Season 11 Aspen audition. Reminiscent of James Durbin's candor about his history coming to terms with Tourette's and Asberger's, Shelby explains how important it is that she stay on her medication, or else she doesn't feel like herself.
Shelby sang Carrie Underwood's "Temporary Home," and impressed the judges enough to send her to Hollywood. Shelby is a student at Mankato West High School in Mankato, Minnesota. Shelby is also a model and is rumored to make it all the way to the top 42.

The second-in-command in the Black Guerrilla Family gang at the Baltimore jail pleaded guilty Thursday to his part in a drug smuggling operation, just hours after a corrections officer with whom he was sexually involved also admitted her role in court.
Steven Loney joined the gang in 2011, according to his plea agreement, and was for a time the cellmate of the BGF's jail leader, Tavon White.
When Loney, who was awaiting trial on an attempted-murder charge, moved to a new section in the jail, he set up his own operation using corrections officers to smuggle contraband and answered only to White.

- Indictments against alleged gang members, jail guards [Video]
- Black Guerrilla Family
Loney pleaded guilty to assault this year on the case that landed him in jail and was sentenced to five years in prison.
Among the corrections officers he worked with was Taryn Kirkland, who also pleaded guilty Thursday to smuggling marijuana and prescription pills into the jail. Kirkland maintained a ledger for Loney, recording his illicit transactions in a notebook that she kept under her bed, according to an affidavit filed in the case.
But on Jan. 21. the pair got into an argument about money in a phone call that was intercepted by authorities. Kirkland said she had a prepaid debit card with $720 on it, but Loney thought there should be more.
"Baby, the [expletive] $1,300 was on there," Loney said. "That's how you was suppose to took that off to get the money for the weed that day."
In total, 25 people — including 13 female corrections officers — were charged with racketeering, drug and money laundering offenses in a case unsealed in April. The indictment rocked the state's corrections system with lurid allegations of behind-bars sex and rampant, profitable smuggling.
Kirkland's lawyer, Charles N. Curlett Jr., said she had accepted responsibility for her role in the smuggling.
"She is genuinely remorseful," he added, "and is optimistically anticipating her sentence."
Loney's attorney could not be reached for comment.
A number of the other defendants, including White, have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing. In the meantime, a special panel of state lawmakers is investigating ways to prevent corruption at the jail.

Letter: Paying atention?
Lowell Wrucke, Naples
Paying attention?
We Americans are fortunate in one way, for we may be able to foretell our future in a few years by observing what's currently happening in Europe.
I don't know what will happen to Greece, for Germany may save them again, but the end won't be pretty. I believe Greece is like the liberals in our country and Germany is like the conservatives.
Greece got into its current situation by excessive overspending, and what caused the disintegration of Greece is the identical mind set that the Obama administration and liberal Democrats exhibit. From 2008 to 2010, the Greek government spent 31 percent more than it took in.
Does that sound familiar? From 2009 through 2011, our federal government has spent 42 percent more than they've taken in.
And since the Democrats assumed control of Congress in 2007, our total debt has gone from $9 trillion to almost $16 trillion. The Democratic-controlled Senate refuses to pass a budget, President Barack Obama's most recent budget was so implausible that it was defeated by a combined vote of 414-0, while a Republican-controlled House budget that decreases spending and debt is severely criticized.
And there's another distressing similarity between our situation and Europe's. The Greeks have subtly used the history of Nazism to attempt to lay a guilt trip on Germany so they will continue to bail out Greece. And now Obama and his fellow liberals occasionally attempt the same guilt trip diversion and cry racism in opposition to conservative (tea party) attempts to control spending.

Victorian Sports Minister Responds To AFL Collingwood Boss McGuire's Funding Complaint
Published July 24, 2014
VALUES QUESTIONED: In Melbourne, Caroline Wilson reported AFL side Gold Coast Chair John Witheriff has "questioned the AFL's values and accused it of a lack of courtesy in the decision to review the bidding system for development academy players and father-son selections." Witheriff, accusing the AFL of "going back on its word, has joined the growing chorus of northern club chiefs disenchanted" that the head office could redesign the "bidding rules for academy players just months before the national draft," following "heavy pressure" from McGuire. Witheriff revealed he "held talks this week with AFL chiefs, urging them to keep their promise on academies." Witheriff: "The commission needs to understand the implications of what it's doing" (THE AGE, 7/23).

DNA 'ingredients' discovered in interstellar space; Odds of discovering alien life increase
It's a significant finding in the search for signs of extraterrestrial life.
According to astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Green Bank Telescope, evidence of prebiotic molecules have been discovered in interstellar space — the first such evidence unearthed. The finding, according to experts, could increase the odds of discovering life outside of our own solar system.
Among the prebiotic molecules discovered by a team of Virginia astronomy students includes a molecule called ethanamine, which is thought to produce adenine, one of the four nucleobases that form the rungs of DNA. Another newly-discovered molecule, called cyanomethanimine, is thought to have a role in the formation of the amino acid alanine — a key process in biology. Laboratories at the University of Virginia and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics measured radio emission from cyanomethanimine and ethanamine, and the frequency patterns from those molecules then were matched to publicly-available data produced by a survey done with the GBT from 2008 to 2011, researcher said in a statement released to the press Thursday.
Studying a giant cloud of gas 25,000 light-years from Earth — near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy — the University of Virginia astronomers say the newly-discovered interstellar molecules represent intermediate stages in multi-step chemical processes leading to the final biological molecule. Details of the processes remain unclear, but the discovery provides astronomers with new insight on where and how these processes occur.
According to researchers, the discovery was made possible by new technology that speeds the process of identifying the "fingerprints" of cosmic chemicals. The ability to identify the changing sequence is related to the ability to identify specific amounts of energy emitted or absorbed, which until now was largely impossible. New laboratory techniques have allowed astrochemists to measure the characteristic patterns of such radio frequencies for specific molecules. By collecting that information, astronomers say they then can match patterns that reveal evidence of certain molecules.
The study comes as scientists previously thought such processes only occurred in areas dominated by gas between stars. However, astronomers now say the complex chemical formation sequences for these molecules occurs not in gas, but on the surfaces of ice grains in interstellar space. While the discovery is widely seen as groundbreaking, astronomers cautioned against reading too much into it, saying more research is needed.
Still, the finding could increase the odds of finding alien life. Extraterrestrial intelligence has long been a hot topic among astronomers, biologists, and the general public, and a series of future and present space missions have made discovering signs of life a main priority. Currently, NASA's Mars Curiosity rover is engaged in the most high-profile search for extraterrestrial life. A series of future missions by the U.S. space agency will also search for signs of organic compounds on asteroids and comets.
The study was a work in collaboration with University of Virginia professors Brooks Pate and Ed Murphy, and Remijan. The program was funded by the National Science Foundation.

#1 Oregon's defense was the savior of the night against California, not the high-powered offense. Oregon's opening drive ended up in a failed 4th down conversion, and the Cal Bears offense took advantage. Running back Shane Vareen ran in for a touchdown early in the 1st, and it ended up being Cal's lone offensive touchdown. Cal only had 69 passing yards, and Oregon's defense kept the Bears offense to under 200 yards.
Cliff 'Cheese on top of the Nachos' Harris returned a punt 64 yards for a TD, his 4th punt return score of the year tying DeSean Jackson's mark from 2006. Oregon's Darron Thomas went 15/29 passing with 155 yards, 1 TD and no interceptions. Cal's athletic defense really put the pressure on the Oregon O-line, and made the Ducks offense look stoppable.
In Cal's opening possession of the 2nd half, Shane Vareen fumbled the ball and Oregon defensive end Kenny Rowe recovered it. The following play was a 29 yard pass on a slant route to Jeff Maehl, who outran the defense to dive past the pylon.The Ducks kicked the extra point (Kelly and the Ducks went for 2 on their first score and converted), going up 15-7.The Oregon defense kept the Cal offense in their own territory for much of the 2nd half. Cal's lone TD came on a Darron Thomas fumble in which the ball was slapped out of his hands during his pass and careened into the endzone, to be jumped on by a Cal player.
Oregon Heisman candidate LaMichael James was dinged up but gained 91 tough yards. Fake injuries were again an issue against the Oregon offense (see attached video), as Oregon's tempo was thrown off when Cal players mysteriously got cramps on the 1st or 2nd play of a drive.
Oregon now has a bye week before hosting #21 Arizona on November 26th at Autzen stadium. Oregon will surely focus on their offense during the bye week, and particularly in the early portion of the game. Oregon's extremely talented offense has been held scoreless in consecutive 1st quarters, and outscored now in Pac-10 play during the 1st 59-55. Despite this issues, the Ducks control their own destiny and are simply 2 victorys away from a date in Glendale, Arizona Jan. 10th.

It was a night of paybacks for Pete Sampras and Lindsay Davenport, each of them conquering a personal tormentor and edging closer to regaining the U.S. Open titles they once held.
For the four-time champion Sampras, it was the sweet 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4, 6-2 defeat Wednesday night of Richard Krajicek, who had the best record against him of any active player and was the only man to beat him at Wimbledon in the past eight years.
For Davenport, the women's titlist in 1998, it was a 6-4, 6-2 quarterfinal rout of defending champion Serena Williams that ended a string of five straight losses to her over the past three years.
Sampras moved into the semifinals against Lleyton Hewitt, a 19-year-old Australian who is seeking to become the youngest winner since Sampras won his first title in 1990.
Miracle Comeback in Tiebreaker
The 6-foot-5 Krajicek, who beat Sampras en route to winning Wimbledon in 1996 and had held a 6-3 record against him, sought to impose his big serve on Sampras once again. He did just that in the first set and wound up with 23 aces, but the match turned on a spellbinding comeback by Sampras from 2-6 in the second-set tiebreaker.
Facing four set points, Sampras saved them all. First came a spectacular drop volley that nicked the net cord. Next there was a forehand return that Sampras mis-hit but saw land safely for a winner. He then drilled a perfect backhand pass into the corner and pumped his fist to the crowd.
When he saved number four with an approach shot that Krajicek netted, and followed it up with a service winner and a sizzling return winner to close out the set, Sampras delivered an uppercut to the air that might as well have been straight to Krajicek's jaw.
"It was his tiebreaker, somehow," said Krajicek, who couldn't figure out how it slipped away. "It was meant to be that he would win that set. I don't know."
'I Thought I Was Gone'
The match was virtually over right there as Krajicek sagged visibly and Sampras kept up the pressure.
"I thought I was finished. I was getting outplayed," said Sampras, now 14-0 in night matches at the open. "Richard puts a lot of pressure on my service game. I thought I was gone. Richard always plays me tough. After I won the second set, Richard got a little down. The second set turned the match around. I was making him play. It was a big match."
The Davenport-Williams match was big, too, but unexpectedly one-sided.
Williams fractured her racket on the court as her game fell apart, and Davenport emerged from the shadows as a forgotten former champion to a berth in the semis.
Williams, the defending champion who was so eager to meet her sister, Venus, in the final, succumbed to her own impatience and Davenport's deep, sizzling groundstrokes in a rout that took everyone by surprise.
Everyone except Davenport.
Davenport never fell for all the hype over a Williams sisters final, never worried about her record against Serena—five straight losses over the past three years.
Clearing 'the Hurdle'
"It feels great to get over the hurdle of beating her," Davenport said. "It was a big match to get through, but I'm only into the semis and I look to keep going.
"There's no revenge. I'm going to lose to her again and I'm going to beat her again."
Williams said Davenport's performance was "the best she ever played against me. She should take that attitude toward everyone."

ATLANTA - A federal jury rejected a former Coca-Cola secretary's claim that she was duped by two ex-cons and convicted her Friday of conspiring to steal trade secrets from the world's largest beverage maker in an effort to sell them to rival Pepsi.Joya Williams faces up to 10 years in prison. No sentencing date was immediately set. The jury of seven women and five men deliberated for 111⁄2 hours over three days. On Thursday, jurors told U.S. District Judge J. Owen Forrester they were ''hung'' and could not decide. Forrester told the jury to try again Friday. Williams showed no visible reaction when the verdict was announced. She remains free on bond, pending sentencing. Her lawyer plans an appeal. Williams was fired as a secretary to Coca-Cola's global brand director at the company's Atlanta headquarters after the allegations came to light. The government said Williams stole confidential documents and samples of products that hadn't been launched from The Coca-Cola Co. and gave them to Ibrahim Dimson and Edmund Duhaney as part of a conspiracy to sell the items to Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo Inc. for at least $1.5 million. The conspiracy was foiled after Pepsi warned Atlanta-based Coca-Cola that it had received a letter in May 2006 offering Coca-Cola trade secrets to the ''highest bidder.'' The FBI launched an undercover investigation and identified the letter writer as Dimson. Dimson and Duhaney have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing. Duhaney testified during Williams' trial that Williams spearheaded the scheme. Dimson did not testify. The government said Williams was deeply in debt, unhappy in her job and seeking a big payday, so she embarked on the scheme to steal trade secrets. Defense lawyer Janice Singer urged jurors to use their common sense, and she argued that prosecutors did not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Singer suggested that Dimson and Duhaney stole the documents and product samples from Williams without her knowledge and conspired to sell them to Pepsi behind her back. Williams testified earlier this week she left a key under her doormat for one of the co-defendants, perhaps explaining how they could have gotten into her home. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Byung J. Pak said during his closing argument Wednesday that Williams' key under the mat claim was one of many lies told by Williams. During two days on the stand, Williams testified that she didn't steal anything from Coke, but rather took documents and product samples home to protect herself in case her boss questioned whether she was doing her job. She also claimed that $4,000 in cash she deposited into her bank account in June 2006, just days after Dimson was given $30,000 in cash from an undercover FBI agent in exchange for Coke materials, came from a friend, not from Dimson. But the friend, Clifton Carroll, testified Tuesday that Williams was lying; he said the most money he ever loaned her was $400, and that was after her July 5 arrest. Pak, the prosecutor, said, ''We're happy with the verdict. It was the right verdict based on the evidence in the case.''

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, entire communities, particularly in central Europe were gripped by a fear of witches and witchcraft, and pursued witches in order to bring them to justice. Professor David Nash unlocks the sometimes opaque history of the phenomenon of witchcraft in Britain, Europe and America. The book explores the development of witchcraft and belief in witches, the obsession with witches and witchcraft that spawned witch-hunting, the hey-day and decline of witch-hunting, and the fascinating 'afterlife' of witchcraft: covering not only the survival of some beliefs into the nineteenth century but the academic interest in witchcraft in the early twentieth century, which culminated in the interest shown in the phenomenon by experts serving the interests and ideology of Nazi Germany. Among the themes that the author will examine are the geographical spread and regional differences in witchcraft and witch-hunting across Britain, Europe and America; the theories on the rise of witch-hunting; and gender differences: why so many more women were accused and convicted of witch-hunting than men.

Two men returned a Coca-Cola cardboard cutout of Alabama football coach Nick Saban to a convenience store on Thursday after learning they were wanted by police for stealing it a day earlier. The Tuscaloosa News reports that two men went into the BP gas station nearby the University of Alabama campus early Wednesday morning and stole the cutout. One of the men held the door open while the other picked it up and walked out with it when the cashier wasn't looking. The Tuscaloosa News says the men returned the cutout to the store on Thursday after reading reports online saying police were searching for them. They also reportedly apologized to the store owner. "I'm glad to have it back," store owner Jay Rupani said. "This is our pride — it's Nick Saban." What could the men possibly have wanted with the cutout? Maybe it was done on a dare, because that does make for a pretty sweet souvenir. In the scheme of things, this was nothing. When it comes to Nick Saban cutouts and statues, we've seen much worse.

Nice guy with a nice smile. Having a personality means letting go and being yourself. So I'm full of it. It meaning Personality.
I am a guy that lived abroad and has came full circle in life. I came from the inland empire and ended up in Thailand. I learned a new culture and then I went through 2 careers and ended up finding what I love to do. So I consider myself lucky. I am a pretty laid back person who loves his family. So my ideal match would be the same. In short, if that person is sincere and honest with their feelings and is able to share that with me, she would be my dream.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Fish
I like Cats
My favorite place is a nice beach over in Thailand. It's not one of those beaches that are typical, like Semet and Puket, but its a quiet beach. It's a place where you could hear the ocean and imagine away.
I love all types of food, especially spicy food. My favorite color is blue. When its raining inside I like to read and cook hot noodles. My favorite type of music is actually old music, 60s and 70s music.
I like to sit around the house in my comfy pajamas after a hard day of work. Sometimes I just like walking around the neighborhood to see the interactions between people and to experience the city.
The last thing I read was a newspaper. The top headline was about job layoffs. Humm... This made me think about how now, more than ever, all of us need love.

Putting a cap on the latest Nirvana saga, Courtney Love has fessed up to writing the recently disclosed note found in Kurt Cobain's wallet after he committed suicide in April of 1994. Seattle police recently released the letter -- written on stationary from San Francisco's Phoenix hotel and reading "Do you Kurt Cobain take Courtney Michelle Love to be your lawful shredded wife. Even when she's a bitch with zits and siphoning all yr money for doping and whoring. Will you promise to f*** her at least once a week, O.K." -- among other artifacts from the crime scene. Though many initially thought Cobain wrote the note, biographer Charles Cross quickly identified it as Love's handwriting, and Love has confirmed to the Seattle Times that she did indeed write the note, though after a Nirvana show on New Year's Eve 1991, not in 1994 as previously supposed. Love's sister and an employee of the Cobain estate also confirmed Love wrote the tongue-in-cheek note. ...Meanwhile, Love has just released a video for her new song, "You Know My Name," a rocker that shows her on a destructive tear in what appears to be a bedroom.
