Gus's Fashions has occupied the northwest corner of Tucker and Washington for the last 15 years. The store specializes in the jackets, T-shirts, caps, pants and shoes that appeal to the hip-hop crowd and to urban youth in general. The place is bustling most days. Gus doesn't pay to advertise; word-of-mouth sells the store. And what aspiring playa wouldn't want to shop at a store where the big names go? Over on the sales counter, taped to the register, are the Polaroids, and they're advertising enough. There's rapper Flavor Flav in one picture, his arm around a beaming Gus. The setup is repeated in the other pictures -- Kurtis Blow, his arm around Gus; Tupac Shakur, gone these four years now, his arm around Gus; Ice T, leaning into Gus.
The store definitely draws an incongruous mix of customers. On the one hand, as one Loft District business owner disdainfully puts it, "You've got all these posses and crews coming down to buy their colors, their team jackets." On the other hand, the place is well-trafficked by uniformed police officers -- not necessarily patrolling but shopping. "They ought to put a camera in there," says St. Louis Police Sgt. Denny Pollihan, a frequenter of Gus' store. "You could make a hit TV sitcom with all the arguing that goes on between Jimmy and Gus in that store -- it's a classic."
Jimmy is not pictured with any of the rappers in the Polaroids, nor does he care to be. "I'm not into any of that at all," he sniffs. "That's new-school stuff, music to commit suicide by, as far as I'm concerned. I shook hands with them; that doesn't mean I have to like them."
Who he is down with are the legendary bluesmen -- Elmore James, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf. In fact, Sunday nights, late, when he's in the mood, Jimmy sings a few numbers with a band at the Missouri Bar & Grill. "I do 'Red Rooster' two ways," Jimmy elucidates in his thick, croaking voice. "The Sam Cooke way or the Howlin' Wolf way, with the deep-Southern-plantation version."
Walk inside Gus's Fashions between 11 and 8, and, chances are, the first person you'll encounter is Jimmy. He may be at the counter or over by the shoes. The place does a brisk trade in footwear. In sneakers, the Reebok line is big, but so is Converse, and it's not just anywhere in St. Louis that one can get the original high-top All-Stars for $25. As for boots, Gus's carries the nylon-surfaced Avirex in various bright colors, although -- strange, for an inner-city outlet -- it's the Timberland hiking boots that rule sales. The store still carries suede Puma shoes, which lapsed out of style and now are enjoying a comeback with college kids. Carry anything long enough, it becomes retro.
Jimmy's not your ordinary store clerk. He also pulls guard duty -- or, at least, he's wearing the gear. He wears a badge on his shirt, and attached to his belt are a police radio and handcuffs. Sticking out from the waistline of his trousers is the grip of a pistol, unholstered, in plain view. It's a starter's pistol, but customers with larceny on their minds don't need to know that.
Yet, above all, Jimmy is the shoe man. He'll tell customers up front: "I'm not a clothes man. I don't get clothes. I'll get you shoes and I'll wait on you." In a back room, he has organized the inventory according to his own system: "I put the stock numbers in numeric order," he says proudly. "It makes everything a lot easier."
Certainly it works, for customers readily comment on his masterful command of the inventory. Say a customer comes in, acts serious about buying shoes. He asks for a 9-and-a-half in a certain style, and Jimmy might say, "We're out of 9-and-a-halfs." The customer might be dubious at this declaration and press the inquiry: "Are you sure?" And Jimmy will answer authoritatively, "Trust me. I'm sure." Say the size is available. Jimmy will get the box from the back and give the customer half of the pair to try on. "The other shoe is at the counter," says Jimmy. "Nobody gets a whole pair without paying for them -- that was my idea."
And don't look to him for a deal: "I tell them the prices are already marked down: 'You want the shoes, here they are.' I don't go through all that story-change. I don't talk that stupid stuff. I get to the bottom line, and that's it."
When not handling shoes, he's standing around, almost obscured by the piles of clothing, watching keenly for any sleight of hand that might occur. As far as Jimmy is concerned, every customer is a potential shoplifter. "I keep an eye on everything," he says. "I walk around, watch the people. Every now and then, I catch one red-handed." That explains the handcuffs, but does he make an arrest? "I shouldn't," he admits sheepishly, "but I do."
If his normal attire isn't bizarre enough, there are always the costumes. "He's really striking when you walk in, depending on what he's wearing," says Keith Schildroth, a sportswriter for the Post-Dispatch and longtime Jimmy-watcher. "Some days, he looks like he could be a fire captain, with the pressed white shirt and the captain's hat. Then he'll have the Frank Serpico look, with the 5 o' clock shadow. I've seen him as a boat captain. I've seen him in a gangster outfit, looking like a short George Raft. You look at the guy, and you think: 'What kind of show is this?'"

Justice Carson and Judge Deits to Receive OWLS Awards
Oregon Women Lawyers (OWLS) recently named College of Law graduates Wallace P. Carson Jr. JD'62 and Mary J. Deits JD'74 recipients of the organization's 2007 leadership awards.
Carson, former chief justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, will receive the Judge Mercedes Deiz Award for promotion of minorities in law. According to OWLS, Carson has been a "silent, yet constant, presence in the lives and careers of many minority attorneys and law students." Among his many accomplishments, he has been instrumental in ensuring the success of the Supreme Court's Task Force on Ethnic Issues and the Oregon State Bar's Affirmative Action Program.
Deits, former chief judge of the Oregon Court of Appeals, will receive the Justice Betty Roberts Award. Named after the first woman to serve on the Oregon Court of Appeals and the Oregon Supreme Court, the award recognizes outstanding promotion of women in law. According to OWLS, Deits has been "a respected role model, advisor and friend to many of Oregon's best women lawyers," as well as an important contributor to Oregon's legal community.
Carson and Deits will receive their awards at the 15th Annual Roberts-Deiz Dinner on March 9, 2007, at the Governor Hotel in Portland. For more information, visit the OWLS Web site.

The 2013 Jeep Patriot boasts the hallmarks of a classic Jeep vehicle: the boxy styling, the signature seven bar grille, the round headlights, and of course, the superb off-road capability that will take you as far off the beaten path as you want to go. It's also an affordable entry into the Jeep world and it handles pavement just fine, so it should be a very affordable option for anyone who doesn't want to spend a life savings on a vehicle that won't see off-road conditions every day. Here are a few reasons that we think that the Jeep Patriot makes a better choice than other small SUVs like the 2013 Hyundai Tucson.
The Jeep starts at over $2,000 less than the Hyundai Tucson — $15,995 — making it attractive right off the bat. The lowest priced Tucson runs $20,395 MSRP. Not only that, but the Jeep gets better gas mileage in almost every configuration. With front wheel drive, the Jeep will get 30 mpg on the highway, and in four-wheel drive versions, as much as 28 mpg on the highway. The Tucson gets 29 mpg on the highway with front wheel drive and 27 mpg on the highway with four-wheel drive. The Jeep also boasts more power at 172 hp than the base Tucson, which only makes 165 hp.
The Jeep just packs in more convenience than the Hyundai. While both come with multiple airbags, anti-lock brakes, an emergency brake assist, and traction control, the Jeep gets stability control with anti-roll control. The Jeep also comes with an engine immobilizer — very useful in the case of theft. The Patriot gets fog lights standard, another useful feature for all-condition driving, and a roof-rack for expanding cargo area.
While the two SUVs are almost the same length, the Jeep should be more comfortable with more headroom all around and more leg room in the back. Overall the Patriot offers more passenger volume by 2 cubic feet.
If you're looking for a new SUV that won't break the bank and you still want the storied capability of a Jeep then check out the Jeep Patriot. If the Patriot isn't just what you're looking for we also have a huge selection of pre-owned vehicles as well as the whole lineup of Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles, here at McGrath Dodge Country. From Marion, we're just a few minutes west near I-380, at 4610 Center Point Road NE in Cedar Rapids, so come visit us today, and let us help you find your next vehicle.

About Me Snowboarder
These pants are slim fit and I got a Med. They are huge for there size Id recommend getting one size smaller then you'd normally wear. Other wise they look really nice and are pretty warm for more of a shell pant. The more tailored fit would be great if they dident size so big. So for the price point id buy them again just a size smaller.

The Crystal Healing Bed is also called Crystal Bath Therapy and was channelled to John of God who then developed this healing modality. These beds are used at John of God's healing centre known as "The Casa" in Brazil and there are many being used over the whole world. The bed rejuvenates, aligns and balances the energy fields, which in turn aids in the process of spiritual and physical healing.
As with many Energy Healing Therapies, no claims can be made that any disease states can be cured. However there are many, many reports of healing occurring daily throughout the world. Healing can occur on many different levels, spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. The crystal bed also can help open the connection with the Healing Spirit Guides. Many people who have had a Crystal bed healing session have reported some of the following:
Increase of definitions in the senses
Feeling energized, clarity, focused
Connection to the Earth and Universe
Feeling more at peace within
Feeling balanced, all chakras aligned
Feeling less stressed
Sense of overall well being
Increased health
Deeper spiritual understanding
Gaining insight of the cause of disease
Gaining insight into their future life path
Receiving guidance

SpyHunter Key Features:
*Easy to Use
SpyHunter is an advanced technology designed specially for people like you, not
experts. It is automatically configured out of the box to give you optimal
protection with limited interaction so all you need to do is install it for
immediate and ongoing protection.
*SpyHunter Scanner
SpyHunter has been carefully engineered to be powerful and complete enough for the
most demanding technical professional, yet simple enough for a first-time computer
user to safely and effectively utilize. With just a simple click, SpyHunter Scanner
will scan your computer's memory, registry, cookies, and files. Items found to be
infected will then be listed for you.
To find out more information about a specific object, merely select it. When you
are ready to remove any infected files, all you have to do is check the box next
to the item and hit the "Start Remove" button. All objects that you remove are
then placed in SpyHunter's quarantine area. Simple as that!
*Process Guard
SpyHunter contains an advanced Process Guard feature, designed to give complete
control over which processes are authorized to run on your system, and allowing
you to identify and stop malicious processes before they are even executed. Using
Process Guard, you are able to allow certain processes to run, while blocking
those do might feel are malicious or unnecessary.
A list of these processes is available to you to edit as you see fit. By selecting
a specific item, you can recieve Windows information related to that process or,
alternatively, you may select the "More Info" button to retrieve accurate and
up-to-date information off the Internet.
*Registry Guard
In addition to Process Guard, SpyHunter contains a Registry Guard feature,
designed to give you complete control over which processes are authorized to add
auto-start entries to your Windows registry. This feature will identify and stop
any processes that attempt to secretly auto-start malware by exploiting the
Windows registry.
Registry Guard works exactly the same as Process Guard, with a list of processes
presented to the user to peruse, offering options that allow certain processes to
write to the registry, while being able to block others. The "More Info" button
retrieves accurate and up-to-date information from the Internet.
*Active X Guard
An ActiveX control is an object that is often used to extend different
functionalities to Internet Explorer. These include browser toolbars, document
viewer plugins, and a wide array of other add-ons. Many ActiveX controls are
actually beneficial, but malicious programs frequently use ActiveX controls in
order to embed themselves onto your system through browser security exploits or
compromised security settings.
SpyHunter's definition database contains a comprehensive list of malicious ActiveX
objects, which will be automatically loaded to the blocked list. This file is
updated continuously by our definitions team. SpyHunter will automatically block
any ActiveX objects in the "Disabled" list from being executed, while also
offering you the option to manually add and remove certain ActiceX objects
from the list.
*Network Sentry
The SpyHunter Network Sentry is designed to give you complete control over your
system networking settings, and to prevent malicious objects from modifying and
disrupting your Internet connection. In addition to HOSTS file protection,
SpyHunter also offers an option to protect other Windows system files from
unauthorized modification. These can be manually selected by the user, offering
you a lot more control over what you wish to keep safe.
SpyHunter also contains advanced functionality designed to prevent malware from
hijacking your desired Internet Explorer homepage. Lastly, SpyHunter can be
configured to monitor your DNS servers and notify if an unsolicited modification
takes place. This prevents tricky Trojan and malware organizations from
redirecting you to a phishing or malware site.
*Scan Scheduler
SpyHunter incorporates an advanced Scan Scheduler feature, which allows you to
run a complete SpyHunter scan at a pre-set time, even if you are away from your
computer. Easy to access and use, the Scan Scheduler allows you to pre-set the
scan time at daily, weekly and monthly intervals. If you opt for the daily scan,

More info:
>>>When using TPB please read these important notes:
01- AV software may warn about keygens, patches, cracks etc because of their
capabilities and signatures (generating codes, etc). Sometimes also they're
added to the virus/spyware database and will be detected as malware. If not
trusting keygens, patches, cracks etc don't use them.
02- To avoid AV software removing/blocking clean cracks etc: exclude the crack
or folder from being auto-protected & auto-scanned by the AV software.
03- If AV software removed a clean crack usually it can be restored
(if it's not in Quarantaine then look at History or something similar).
04- To avoid risks when using cracks also Sandboxie can be used to test them:
05- Before running .exe-files, keygens, patches, cracks etc always check first
if they can be unpacked. Often some thirth party added a virus to the
original file, repacked it, and uploaded it again.
06- Letting AV software software sending scan results to their companies
can cause keygens, patches, cracks etc being added to their virus-database.
07- Firewalls which are set to automatically decide for connections will allow
connections for lots of apps & MALWARE!. To avoid so firewalls should be set
to decide yourself which connection to allow or not.
08- Clicking on unknown links can coz malware being silently installed on a pc!
09- Usually (new) torrents with extreme many downloads & seeders in a short time
are very suspicious! Torrents with a SKULL-logo are trusted.
10- Some (frustrated) people use multiple accounts and post lots of FAKE comments
and/or files trying to spread confusion. Usually they NEVER seriously reply
on comments and don't have any torrent, or to look reliable just a few.
11- In general often there are more fake & negative comments than reliable &
positive comments.
12- In some countries uploading/downloading copyright-protected material is
forbidden, but showing some appreciation to reliable uploaders is not.
13- Posting FAKE comments & uploads on TPB can result in getting banned from TPB!
For reporting bad or suspicious torrents:

*All torrents scanned with:
1- Norton Internet Security

To the "United Reliable The Pirate Bay Users",
Nowadays a lot of TPB members abuse their TPB membership by intenionally posting
fake comments & files. Their meaning is just to spread confusion and try to
frustrate TPB and it's users. And less downloaders = less seeders = less
downloadspeed etc etc.
It's in the benefit of TPB and all reliable users to warn each other about people
who intenionally keep posting fake comments & files. It's an easy answer against
those who intenionally keep posting fake comments & files, which is a never
ending issue.
When reporting errors or false positives just keep in mind that what goes up for
one does not always goes up for another. That's for both the working of an app
and about false positives! Remember: whatever is said, say it constructive!
Let's just try to help each other and TPB by thinking about what's said & posted.
Things are all up to you, the "United Reliable The Pirate Bay Users"!
Enjoy The Pirate Bay

The agents were very efficient and personable, when booking my balcony stateroom for our 3 night cruise.
A pleasure from beginning to end....all went smoothly!
|Mar 23, 2015 Denise FL, United States
They finally agreed to refund my money, which I was originally told was impossible.
About a week after we paid for the cruise, and 3 days before we were scheduled to set sail, a rep from the Flying Dutchman called to ask for my confirmation PIN number. I gave it to her and then she nonchalantly asked for my credit card number. When I explained I had already paid for the cruise, she told me there was an addition $360 I needed to pay for taxes and gratuities---apparently it was hidden in the fine print. Needless to say, we cancelled our cruise and won't be vacationing this weekend. The cancellation process also required 4 phone calls and one hour of my time--very frustrating.

I haven't started the cruise but hoping the end result is just as wonderful as the initial start.

A bedrock principle of our legal system is that justice is applied equally. No matter who you are or where you live, you're the same in the eyes of the law.
But in California, the most serious punishment – the death penalty – is not being applied equally.
Whether defendants get the death penalty depends as much, if not more, on where they did their crime as what they did. This disparity can't be considered evenhanded justice.
In fact, the vast majority of death sentences are being handed down in a handful of Southern California counties. In effect, the death penalty has already ended in most counties.
In the first half of 2012, there were 11 death sentences imposed in the state. Nine were in Los Angeles or Riverside counties.
Last year, California juries delivered only 10 death sentences, the fewest since the state reinstated capital punishment in 1978. Eight were in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties. Those three counties also accounted for 24 of 29 death sentences in 2009 and 16 of 29 in 2010, according to the ACLU of Northern California.
On the other extreme, since the start of 2009, 40 of California's 58 counties have not had a single death sentence. Not one.
This geographic disparity is not a statistical blip.
Of the 266 death sentences statewide from 2000 through the first half of 2012, 145 – more than half – came in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties. Twenty-eight counties didn't record a single death sentence, and 16 others had only one or two, according to the ACLU figures. Sacramento County totaled nine, but only three since 2003.
While there can be little argument that the disparity raises fundamental questions of fairness, there's a big dispute over the reasons for the differences.
Some say there are proportionately more death sentences in counties with the most violent crime, or in politically conservative areas.
But the numbers are so skewed that those explanations fall short. In its 2008 study, "Death by Geography," the ACLU found no correlation between death sentences and factors such as murder rates, population densities and voting patterns. Since 2000, for instance, there have been four times more death penalty cases in liberal Alameda County than conservative Kern.
Counties with the most death sentences have little in common, while counties with similar demographics have very different records.
"California's death penalty has become so arbitrary that the county border, not the facts of the case, determines who is sentenced to execution and who is simply sentenced to die in prison," the ACLU report concluded.
Sentences to Latinos rising
There is also a potential overlap with ethnicity.
While African Americans have long been overrepresented on California's death row, the number of Latinos on death row has historically been well below the number in the general population. In the last few years, however, the number of Latinos sentenced to death has been rising rapidly, in part because more cases are coming from counties with sizable Latino populations.
John Zitny, the chief deputy public defender in San Bernardino County, says that one major reason behind the geographic disparity is economics: Larger, wealthier counties can better afford to pursue the death penalty. He argues that several recent death cases in his county would not have gone forward in a smaller, poorer county.
"That's obviously not fair," Zitny says.
Much of the disparity may come down to who is district attorney in each county. With the ever-expanding list of "special circumstances" that can qualify a case for the death penalty, prosecutors have wide latitude over when to pursue capital punishment.
Death penalty proponents say that's as it should be in our representative democracy. They say elected district attorneys, accountable to the people, should represent local views. Prosecutors say they should have the same discretion on the death penalty as they do over other charges.
Rod Pacheco, Riverside County's district attorney from 2007 to 2011, says he has "no second thoughts" on any decisions he made on when to seek the death penalty. He also says he never used a potential death sentence to coerce a guilty plea. So, for example, he would not have offered the plea bargain accepted by sex offender John Gardner, who was spared a possible death sentence when he pleaded guilty in San Diego in 2010 to murdering teenagers Chelsea King and Amber Dubois during attempted rapes.
Pacheco was defeated in November 2010 by Judge Paul Zellerbach, who pledged during the campaign to be more selective in pursuing the death penalty. In his first year in office, Zellerbach filed and won just two new death penalty cases, compared with six death sentences in the last year of Pacheco's term.
Zellerbach also took a second look at 56 pending death penalty cases he inherited when he took office; he has withdrawn capital charges in 10.
Should AGs make the call?
While he may disagree with his predecessor on how aggressively to pursue death penalty cases, Zellerbach does agree that it's entirely appropriate for district attorneys to have that power.
If there is a geographic disparity, he says, it's legitimate because each county has its own crime issues; prosecutors have different levels of experience in handling death penalty cases; and the demographics of juries are different. It's not unequal justice, he argues, because every jury in California is given the same instructions in weighing the death penalty.
There's no easy fix to the disparity. To make sure federal cases are evaluated the same way no matter where in the nation they happen, the U.S. attorney general's office decides when to seek the death penalty.
Of states with the death penalty, Delaware and New Hampshire also give that authority to their attorney general; there are not enough cases in those two small states to determine if that centralized process reduces geographic disparities.
In California, Pacheco is among those who say it would be logistically impossible and politically difficult for the state attorney general to take control of death penalty decisions statewide.
Yet without a solution, the death penalty will continue to be applied unfairly across the state. Are we really willing to accept that someone could get life – or death – based on which side of a county line the victim happened to die?
That leaves far too much to the whims of fate. That is not evenhanded justice.

This review is from: If You Believe (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is hard to read. Ever seen the movie 'The Blue Lagoon'? Especially late at night? It left me with a hollow feeling, a sadness that echoed into the depths of my very soul. This book is about 2 people in their mid-thirties who fall in love against their wills. Its painful to read because of the depth of emotion, the heroine's relationship with her father and Mad Dog, as well as his relationship with his son, whom he doesn't know is related. Make any sense? ...Anyway, if I could go back in time I wouldn't have read this book. It left me with a bittersweet taste in my mouth - a compelling tale, but I think I'll stick to lighter reads from now on.

This review is from: If You Believe (Mass Market Paperback)
I encountered Kristin Hannah a couple of months ago when I read the book, ANGEL FALLS: a nice book with a somewhat ... plot. I thought ANGLE FALLS was well-written with some beautiful prose, so I gave Kristin another shot with ON MYSTIC LAKE; it blew me away. ON MYSTIC LAKE is her best by far, but IF YOU BELIEVE comes mighty close. For those of you who are not familiar with Kristin Hannah, IF YOU BELIEVE is one of her earlier novels, and I can tell why she has been a productive writer and storyteller for the last ten years. IF YOU BELIEVE is a simple story about a woman, Mariah Throckmorton, who is hiding from a past that's filled with hurt, and her colorful, intelligent father. They live on a beautiful, secluded farm that happens to be graced with few visitors. Mad Dog Stone is a drifter who wanders by to find a meal and a place to sleep. Mad Dog becomes enthralled with Mariah, and wants to find out more about this simple, but beautiful woman. Lonely people are thrust together and the emotions fester until they become a full-blown hurricane. The plot works, the chemistry between the characters is wonderful, and couple that with the mystery of the landscape; you've got yourself an excellent book. Kristin Hannah will be a mainstay on my bookshelf for a long time. I only regret that I didn't discover this wonderful writer earlier. Blow the dust off your favorite book list, get your best pen out, and slowly write IF YOU BELIEVE at the top of the list; you won't be dissapointed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing love story,
Judith E. Pavluvcik (Dreaming of the beach in Hawaii, but living in the reality of the desert in Arizona!!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: If You Believe (Mass Market Paperback)
If You Believe is one great love story by Kristin Hannah. This is the fourth book of hers that I have read and I simply cannot read her books fast enough! This book is incredibly emotional and it pulls you right into the character's world with such intensity, that you will definitely need a box of Kleenex handy!
Hannah has the talent of making her characters come alive with such depth and emotion. You feel their struggles, their losses and their loves. You feel their fear and you understand it all. Hannah writes with such emotion that you cannot but help becoming lost in the story line. She once again has you so connected to the characters, that you feel that you know them and this what endears readers to her. Hannah does not write your typical mush and gush romance novel - the love and romance is more real, down-earth and believable. Her heroines all seem to face reality-based challenges, which anyone can relate to, as well as to overcoming those challenges.
Hannah's writing is laced not only with depth filled emotions, but also with a unique sensitivity that touches the reader at a level most other authors never come close to. She manages to weave her magic from the very beginning and the reader is gently released from that magic web at the very end, with a very deep sigh! But her story will linger with you for days. As with all of her books - you want a sequel!
What more can I say? Kristin Hannah has fast become one of my favorite authors and her stories will leave you thinking, pondering and wondering as well as feeling good! This book is definitely a keeper and wish I could rate it with more than 5 stars! Angel Falls, On Mystic Lake and Home Again are others by Hannah, which I have read and fell in love with!
This is a story of love and hope eternal which I could not put down until I finished it. On to the next Hannah book!
5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favorite romances,
This review is from: If You Believe (Mass Market Paperback)
If you haven't read Kristen Hannah's IF YOU BELIEVE you are missing out on one of the best character driven, emotionally wrenching stories the genre has to offer. If the rest of her books are even half this good I'm rushing out to purchase them all!
Mad Dog Stone is a fighter who works odd jobs in between bouts. He never stays in one place long enough to form any kind of emotional attachment and has broken many a heart along the way. His life is about to change when he answers an add for free room and board in exchange for a little work at the Throckmorton apple orchard. How hard can picking apples be after all?
The last thing Mariah Throckmorton wants is change in her life, especially in the form of a big, shiftless male. She is living in a self imposed exile while hiding from a scandalous past and a tragedy she has never allowed herself to recover from. She does her darndest to get this lazy critter off of her farm, which tends to make him all the more determined to hang around and take whatever new torture disguised as work she dishes out. She intrigues him as no other woman has and her obliviousness to his charms makes her all the more alluring.
The author writes with such emotional intensity I found myself either smiling or crying on nearly every page. She skillfully blends raucous wit with tender and heartbreakingly painful moments of emotion making IYB a powerful, not soon to be forgotten read. You won't find any fancy locales or wacky adventures in this book. What you will find is an honest down to earth book about two lonely people overcoming their fear of emotional intimacy and learning about the healing powers of love. What more could a reader ask for?
A full box of Kleenex read and a definate keeper!
5.0 out of 5 stars Yes! I believe, I believe!,
This review is from: If You Believe (Mass Market Paperback)
I believe Hannah is one of the best romance writers around today. "If You Believe" is the 3rd book by Kristin Hannah I've read in the past 2 weeks and she climbed to the top of my favorites list with the first one I read, "Mystic Lake".
Hannah wrings every emotion out of you by the time you've completed the last page. Her characters, Mad Dog, Mariah, Rass & Jake spring to life and draw you right into the pages of the book to experience their happiness, pain, love and tears with them.
So, go forth and read. If you aren't already grabbing up each Kristin Hannah book you can, you soon will be!
5.0 out of 5 stars This book has become one of my all-time favorites!,

This review is from: If You Believe (Mass Market Paperback)
This story about Mad Dog (Matt) and Mariah is so touching and bittersweet. Although many tragic things occur throughout the book, Hannah expertly wove a story with humor, tragedy, and compassion. It is a love story between man and woman, father and daughter, and father and son. It is a story about family and fear. It made me laugh and cry and encourage all I know to read this book.
4.0 out of 5 stars Emotional,

I truly enjoyed the story of Mariah and Mad Dog, as they find that love is not always where we seek to find it. They each overcome private conflicts, as well as with each other...finding freedom and courage to continue to live, and love. Looking forward to reading another book by Kristin Hannah.

This review is from: If You Believe (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a book about finding, forgiving, loving and letting go. The characters aren't perfect, but all have good qualities. There isn't the usual falling into each others arms and living happily ever after. They work at theirs lives and fight for a chance to love. Ms.Hannah gives a good read.
5.0 out of 5 stars I could not put this book down.,

This was the first novel I had ever read by Kristin Hannah. I loved it from page one. Once I had finished this book, I ran to the book store and purchased everything she had published. This was 1993. Now it is 2001 and I look forward to each and every new book she puts forth.

Apple releases Leopard and Snow Leopard "Performance Update"
From MacNN:
I never experienced the problem myself, but for 322KB, why not download it anyways.
I really hope this fixes the spinning beach ball that happens when my mac pro decides to randomly spin up my external raid hard drive for no apparent reason (nothing is ever trying to access it - not even time machine). and of course, because its a raid hard drive with 4 drives it takes freakin forever and the beach ball prevents me from doing anything else on my computer.
"Affected systems include MacBook Airs, 13- to 17-inch MacBook Pros, 13-inch MacBooks, iMacs and Mac minis"
No Mac Pro there. So there's a chance your issue might not be fixed.
Apple's Performance Update 1.0
Hello people!
I just got my new macbook and I installed Snow Leopard... I was checking the news and I read Apple released a Performance Update 1.0 for a HArd drive error .. I have been on my macbook for 10 hours and I havent noticed any problem.. so My question is.. should I download it anyway? even if I'm not presenting any problem with my hard drive should I install that update? Thanks everyone
Looks like my hardware isn't eligible. I really hope it's not referring to the situation musicvortex is describing because I have that problem and it's so annoying.
I was experiencing this issue on my early 09 MBP17 since 10.6. The update seems to have resolved the problem.
My 2009 Mini, Late 2008 MB and Late 2008 MBA all requested the update, even though I haven't experienced any issues with performance. It didn't seem to hurt anything though. My Late 2008 MBP hasn't requested it - go figure.
Luckily I only have a 2 disk RAID1 backup tho... :D

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Astros righthander Asher Wojciechowski doesn't think he'll attempt to play catch again for about a week as he gives his strained right lat muscle some time to rest. He's slated to visit the doctor on Saturday.
Wojciechowski was optimistic when he went to play catch on Thursday but he still felt the lat. He initially suffered the injury on Feb. 1 on one pitch and an MRI revealed the strain.
"It's my lat still," Wojciechowski said. "It's not there yet. It's just going to take more time cause it's one of those things that if I do try to go out too early, I'm just going to get set back another week or two more weeks.
"I thought for sure I'd be healthy by now, but it's three weeks out now … I'm probably going to need another week. I definitely feel like the trainers aren't going to try and rush me (sooner than that)."
Wojciechowski, 25, is competing for a back-end rotation spot this spring.

Mark Deas and Richard Vincett sparkle as City of Ely tear up the form guide against Godolphin
Posted: July 09, 2014|
Mark Deas and Richard Vincett did the damage with the ball as City of Ely caused a major upset with an eight-wicket win over Godolphin in Mr Cricket CCA Senior League, Division Two.
The bottom side had only won one of their five completed fixtures, but Deas took 4 for 29 and Vincett netted 4 for 28 as their promotion-chasing opponents were removed for a mere 98, with Maroof Khan's 39 making him the best with the bat.
Irshad Muhammad and Jafer Rai did strike early on to put Ely two down in their reply, but captain Tom Beaumont (31 not out) and Josh Sivier (44 not out) saw the task through as they eased to 99 for 2.
"It was a wet wicket, which I'm sure didn't help them, but I thought we were very impressive with the ball," said Beaumont.
"When you bowl a team out for 98 you always expect to get them because there's no pressure on you to score the runs quickly. I thought we did a professional job."
Godolphin skipper Floriano Fernandes, whose team are fasting during Ramadan, said: "We got two wickets early on, but their other two batted very well."
Cottenham have now leapfrogged Godolphin at the summit on average points without having to play as their match with Wisbech II fell foul of the weather.
Cambridge NCI II are breathing down Godolphin's neck following their eight-wicket triumph at home to Horseheath.
The visitors mustered 174 for 9 from their reduced allocation of 40 overs, with Toby Pleming taking 3 for 28.
And, on a good batting track at Fitzwilliam College Sports Ground, Chetan Chauhan struck an unbeaten 101 and Chris Cundell made 49 in NCI's 177 for 2.
Ric Bentley (91) and Mark Costin (76 not out) guided Old Leysians to a comfortable 65-run victory over Longstanton Grasshoppers.
They were helped by Longstanton dropping seven or eight catches as they racked up 236 for 2, before Toby Saunders' 61 could not prevent the visitors coming up well short on 171 for 9.
And Foxton & Babraham II beat Bluntisham by 87 runs.

Global financial markets are bracing for a major sell-off in the next few weeks as the euro zone crisis grows more severe, and emerging markets will likely be hit hard, analysts and market watchers say.
Stocks in Asia, including in Indonesia, have been hammered in the past few weeks as the European crisis deepens, US economic indicators worsen and China's economic growth shows signs of slowing.
Confidence has ebbed and fears have grown that the global economy could face a situation similar to that of 2008, when markets went into a free fall.
The Jakarta Composite Index has already shed 12 percent from its 4,224 record high on May 3, to trade at 3,717.88 on Tuesday. Across the year so far, the market has fallen 2.7 percent, making it the biggest decliner among its peers.
The LQ45, an index consisting of the 45 biggest listed corporations in Indonesia, has lost 6.7 percent so far this year, outpacing the decline of the main index.
Astra International, the biggest corporation in Indonesia, had lost 17 percent this year as of Monday, but rebounded on Tuesday as it applied its 10-for-1 stock split.
Bank Mandiri, the country's largest lender by assets, and Aneka Tambang (Antam), the state gold and nickel producer, are also included in the LQ45 index. Antam lost 29 percent to trade at Rp 1,150 and Bank Mandiri lost 1.5 percent to close at Rp 6,650 on Tuesday.
"The hope for a decoupling of any continent of the world from what is currently threatening the global upswing is probably wishful thinking," Burkhard Varnholt, the chief investment officer at Zurich-based Bank Sarasin, which manages about $100 billion in assets globally, said in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Varnholt said economic cycles around the world have become more synchronized as globalization proceeds, a notion echoed by other analysts.
"Despite good economic conditions in Indonesia, what determines the market now is external factors," said Janson Nasrial, a market strategist with AmCapital in Jakarta. Janson did not believe the gains made in Indonesia on Tuesday — of 1.7 percent — would be sustainable.
"It was only a technical rebound," he said. "There has been no improvement in the fundamental story globally. The index can be corrected again on Wednesday."
Among the hardest hit has been the mining sector, which accounts for 9.6 percent of the Jakarta Composite Index. The sector has lost 25.3 percent so far this year as energy and metal prices have fallen sharply.
According to Janson, coal prices in Newcastle dropped from $115 per ton at the end of last year to $91 per ton this week.
Janson said increased uncertainty from recent policies in Indonesia's mining industry have also played a part in the sharp decline in mining stocks, but the impact was "not as significant as the decline of commodity prices."
The government plans to expand export taxes on 65 minerals, up from 14 minerals earlier. Coal, which was earlier exempted, has been added to the list, according to a report by Reuters. Authorities and industry groups quickly denied the report, but the damage was done, as the mining sector fell almost 8 percent.
Janson said the result of Greece's elections on June 17 would be a determining factor for global markets, with much-needed positivity coming from Europe if the pro-bailout party wins.
Bank Sarasin's Varnholt said he believed Greece would honor its contract with other euro zone countries and the International Monetary Fund.
"The euro zone will not collapse and ultimately it will integrate," he said, adding that integration would start with banking unification, which he said was easier than political integration. He said Asian stock markets, which have fared much better than Western markets in the past decade, tended to suffer from more speculative money that came and went quickly.
Investors, he noted, should take a long-term view of Asian markets, including in Indonesia. "The economy's underlying strength will continue to power it ahead," he said, adding that domestic consumption would sustain growth. However, Varnholt said Indonesia's short-term challenge would be its exposure to external funds.
Indonesia has more external debt and foreign reserves than other Asian countries, he said. He added that this exposure would affect the rupiah, which has declined 4 percent this year.

County players get the chance to see how they shape up at top event
Posted: January 23, 2013|
DERBY will be the centre of attention next month when hundreds of junior tennis players arrive at the David Lloyd centre for its annual national tournament.
More than 100 places have already been taken up in the Winter Grade Three event, which will see youngsters under the age of eight to adults over 35 competing at the Pride Park gym from February 18.
The clubs hold the week-long tournament every year as part of its commitment to the national Lawn Tennis Association to develop junior talent.
Last year, 209 youngsters from across the country took part – with some travelling from as far afield as Cornwall to compete.
Although predominantly a junior tournament, adults are also invited to compete in the men's singles, women's singles and over-35 men's singles.
But Dave Barnes, junior racquets manager at David Lloyd, says it will be a great opportunity for Derbyshire's youngsters to check out the rest of the UK competition.
He said: "This is one of those great weeks where you get to watch some fantastic tennis and, for the county's juniors, they get to play it in their own environment.
"We looked forward to watching the children we work with week in, week out having an opportunity to show off their talent and, at the same time, see what else is out there.
"Part of our performance programme is to hold one high-level tournament and, last year, we were pleased that, we had so many entries, we had to run some qualification events.
"I really hope we can equal the numbers of entries we had last year, if not better them. Places have been filling up and it's great that people are already so interested."
Barnes said among players expected to compete at this year's event were city junior and Tennis Europe star Sam Ferguson and his younger brother Matty.
He said: "We all know how, last year, Sam represented Great Britain across the world and his game is really coming on.
"He's hit here recently, so we're looking forward to him coming, along with Matty, who is among some strong under-eight players we're working with at the moment.
"It's great to work with youngsters like him because you hope it's the start of another potential international player.
"Our job is to get these kids started on their path to full-time tennis and we are tasked with producing as many performance players as possible.
"So it will be interesting to see what they can both do over the course of the week.
"And, indeed, it will be exciting to see what effect this tournament has on the rest of their year and the rest of the other players' seasons too."
This year, Barnes said the tournament was being sponsored by Derby lettings company Kingstead, whose director Mick Slater is interested in tennis.
Barnes said: "Mick's recently rejoined the club after his children spent some time here and it's great he wants to get involved with us.
"With his help, we should be able to run the tournament to the best of our abilities.
"But, overall, we're hoping for a really good complement of junior and adult players – we had about 30 of those last year.
"This is a pretty serious tournament and we're looking to welcoming the talent we hope it will attract."

Since then, Genius Sonority's name has mostly been a byword for "outsourced" among Pokemon fans, bringing the same shudders that Backbone does for retro gamers. But with the recent release of Denpa Men: They Came by Wave, a kind of augmented reality RPG for the Nintendo 3DS, I've found that their roots go back further than Pokemon.%Gallery-169215%
Here are a couple names that Japanese RPG fans ought to recognize: Dragon Quest and Mother. It was from those two franchises, and the studios Heartbeat and Creatures, Inc respectively, that Genius Sonority has drawn much of its talent over the years.
Heartbeat was behind Dragon Quest VI and VII, two of the most successful (if controversial) Dragon Quest games ever made. After what Enix termed a "sabbatical" in 2002, key Heartbeat employees including founder Manabu Yamana joined with Nintendo to create Genius Sonority. They then went on to join forces with members of Creatures, Inc, which was then just a couple years removed from the untimely cancelation of EarthBound 64.
The two studios would go on to become part of the three-headed entity that currently manages the Pokemon franchise. Creatures, Inc now focuses on the card game in addition to putting out games like Pokemon Ranger. Genius Sonority, for its part, worked on Colosseum, Pokemon XD, and Pokemon Battle Revolution. Colosseum and its sequel were ostensibly full-blown RPGs, but they functioned more as pricey expansions for them main handheld series. It hasn't been until Denpa Men, which coincidentally arrived around the same time that I was falling head over heels for Pokemon again, that the pedigree of Genius Sonority has started to shine through.
As with Dragon Quest, the concept of Denpa Men is fairly simple. There are lots of little sprites floating around at any given time -- they look like The Legend of Zelda's Tingle -- and they can be captured by using the 3DS' AR functionality. Using your captured Denpa/Tingle Men, you can then explore various dungeons while fighting classic turn-based battles.
The battles themselves are even simpler than the time-tested Dragon Quest system, featuring only an attack command, a special skills command, and an item command. The system has a lot in common with the basics of Pokemon, which itself reaches back to the days of Dragon Quest. Fundamentally speaking, the root of most Japanese console RPGs can be found in Dragon Quest's desire to make the genre accessible to the masses, hard as that may be to believe when looking at behemoths like Persona and Xenoblade Chronicles. It's just that Genius Sonority has a closer connection to that tradition than most.
And given their close relationship with Creatures, Inc, and their resulting connection to Mother, it's not surprising that Denpa Men has its own offbeat sense of humor. Unlike the tireless Pokemon of Genius Sonority's other games, the Denpa Men don't take kindly to being used as cannon fodder. The light touch Genius Sonority lends Denpa Men is a welcome one in a genre that can occasionally be a little too self-serious for its own good.
Reviews to this point have largely been favorable, which suggests that there's an appetite for light downloadable RPGs with a distinct sense of humor (indeed, a sequel is already out in Japan). It's the same formula that has propelled Dragon Quest, Earthbound, and yes, Pokemon to lasting success, and will continue to drive the genre forward even with cheap fanservice threatening to drown it.
As for Genius Sonority, it's heartening to see that the studio's strong collection of talent is quietly getting back to their roots. I'm more than happy to trade Pokemon Colosseum and its ilk for more games like Denpa Men. I suspect I'm not alone.

In TerrorStorm: A History of Government Sponsored Terrorism, a 2006 documentary reissued with new footage last month on DVD, we watch a pudgy, gravelly-voiced Dallas native named Alex Jones travel to the United Kingdom to try to prove that the July 2005 London terrorist bombings were secretly carried out by the British government. The absurdly prolific Jones, who has produced more than a dozen similarly incendiary documentaries (titles include Police State III: Total Enslavement and 911: The Road to Tyranny), doesn't have much legitimate evidence to back up his assertion. So he resorts to interviewing shadowy-looking figures who parrot his crackpot theories right back at him. When all else fails, the director makes like Michael Moore, grabs a bullhorn, and shouts in front of the British parliament that George W. Bush was responsible for September 11. ("Do you think that people in a cave were able to have all of this happen?" he proclaims, moments before the London police show up.)
Watching this, you might be likely to roll your eyes or just reach for the off button. (The movie is also viewable on Google Video.) The more appropriate reaction, however, may be one of civic pride: Leave it to a Texan to carry forth the tradition of the conspiracy movie into the twenty-first century. Easily ridiculed and frequently dismissed, this is a genre that rarely gets the attention it deserves. But films like JFK (1991), Interview With the Assassin (2002), or even Slacker (1991) all hint at a fascinating "secret" history unfolding just beneath our noses. Even if you aren't convinced by the odd mixture of fear, libertarianism, and sheer chutzpah on display in these efforts, you still have to acknowledge that they are an essential part of Texas film history. Jones (who also hosts a nationally syndicated radio talk show in Austin) turns out to be the latest in a long line of filmmakers who remind us that, when it comes to paranoia, Texas serves it up more effectively (and consistently) than any other state.
Conspiracy theories, of course, are nothing new, especially not in the cinema (in forties noirs like The Maltese Falcon and The Woman in the Window, intrigue lurked around every dark street corner). But the more modern iteration of the conspiracy film, in which the paranoia is directed at the American government, was born on November 22, 1963, when a Dallas clothing manufacturer named Abraham Zapruder recorded John F. Kennedy's motorcade as it traveled down Elm Street directly into the crosshairs of Lee Harvey Oswald's rifle. The Zapruder film, which was entered into the Library of Congress's National Film Registry in 1994, is not a movie in the conventional sense; it's simply an unadorned visual document of a historical event. But with its flickering, bordering-on-abstract images and its sudden shift from placid calm to blood and chaos, it does what all great conspiracy movies must: It hints at possibilities and alternatives; it makes us wonder if we're witnessing the full story.
Think of the Zapruder film as the spiritual godfather of all the Texas-based conspiracy films that have followed. Oliver Stone used the Zapruder film as his springboard in JFK, returning to those nightmarish images again and again to piece together a mesmerizing three-hour symphony of suspicion. In the barely seen Interview With the Assassin, director Neil Burger ( The Illusionist) seizes upon our lingering Kennedy obsessions to craft a spooky (if not entirely convincing) mock documentary about a "second gunman" who confesses to the assassination. But there have also been any number of non-Kennedy-related homegrown conspiracy movies, most notably Slacker, Richard Linklater's sly ode to Austin's anarchists, yahoos, and UFO obsessives, and the excellent documentary Waco: The Rules of Engagement (1997), which coolly attempts to separate myth from fact as it analyzes the Branch Davidian standoff.
Perhaps it's that Texans have a long history, dating back to the 1845 annexation of the Republic, of feeling as if the federal government is putting one over on them. Or maybe it's just that, between the Kennedy assassination, the University of Texas Tower shootings, David Koresh, and "cheerleader-murdering mom" Wanda Holloway, the historical reality of modern Texas seems too outlandish to be taken at face value. Whatever the case, there's no denying that there's something about the Lone Star State that inspires filmmakers, once inside these borders, to unleash their most paranoid delusions. Indeed, the ethos of conspiracy is so deeply ingrained in Texas film that it infects an offbeat comedy like Robert Altman's Dr. T and the Women (2000), which features a Kennedy assassination tour guide (Tara Reid) as one of its main characters. The movie is one of Altman's few unmitigated disasters, but it gets this much right: No first-time visit to Dallas could possibly be complete without a stop at the grassy knoll.
As for Alex Jones, well, he's definitely not the next Oliver Stone. But give credit to his balls-to-the-wall zeal: How many non-Texans would have the nerve to casually assert that the United States military systematically tortures and executes journalists who write articles critical of the occupational government in Iraq? And in his willingness to look beyond Texas to find conspiracies, and to

North Tillotson Revitalization
Design Charge: Create a sustainable housing development with mixed-use retail.
The proposed development is comprised of conventional, low impact, and zero lot line lots and supplemented by apartments and townhouses. Trails link much of the site decreasing the impact of the motor vehicle while swales naturally filter surface runoff with vegetation.
Featured are adaptations of the 'woonerfs' of the Netherlands, where pedestrians and motor vehicles share the same space. Planting beds among the drive lanes slow vehicle movement protecting pedestrians from high vehicle speeds. Garages are located to the rear of the lot leaving the street side open for front porches to create a sense of community among neighbors.
Vehicles using on-street parking must back into the spaces. Studies have found that this parking orientation is safer for bicyclists as drivers leaving their parking space are more aware of oncoming cyclists.

Agoraphobia is an intense and irrational fear of being in public places. People who have agoraphobia are afraid of being in any place or situation from which it might be hard for them to escape.
Agoraphobia often occurs in people who have anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder. Examples of agoraphobia include fear of being in crowds, standing in line, going into shopping malls, and riding in cars or on public transportation. People who have severe agoraphobia may never leave their homes. Because of their fear, they either avoid the place or situation, endure it with great distress, or need someone to be with them.
Agoraphobia can be successfully treated with counseling and medicines.

Welcome to the Student Employment Office web site. The Student Employment Office provides services related to Federal Work-Study and other on-campus employment. We have developed our web site to assist students, staff and off-campus Federal Work-Study employers in obtaining employment related information. Please read the Overview information to get a better idea of how our office works.
Student Employment Overview
The Student Employment Office works with currently enrolled degree students to assist them with employment, either through the Federal Work-Study program or on-campus non work-study. We are open from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Click Here for detailed information on student employment eligibility criteria.
How to Find a Job
Thank you for inquiring about finding a job on campus.
Federal Work-Study is awarded to students who complete the FAFSA by the March 1st priority deadline and also have the financial need. If you are eligible for federal work-study it will be part of your financial aid package. You can find this by checking your COIN account under Financial Aid Award. If you have not been awarded Federal Work-Study, you are still eligible for a non-work-study job.
Students need to apply for and find a job on their own. You can search for both federal work-study and non-work-study job postings online by selecting the appropriate job type on our student job search webpage. http://www1.umassd.edu/financialaid/studentemp/listings/ . You can narrow the search criteria as much as you like. By clicking on the job number, you will see more details about the position and how to contact the supervisor to apply. It is always helpful if you have a resume or letter of introduction ready to send.
As there are more students looking for jobs than jobs, it is highly recommended that you try to line up a job before you arrive at school. Many departments begin posting their jobs during the summer and hire students during the summer and first few weeks of school. Please check the job search often as new positions will be added all summer. You can also contact any department that you wish to work for directly to inquire if they are hiring students.
First time employed students must submit hiring forms and additional documents and ID's in person to the Student Employment Office. Additional information about both Federal Work-Study (FWS) and Non Work-Study (NWS) employment including the additional forms required, deadlines and deferments, go to 2014-2015 New Student Employment Information located on the Student Employment FORMS page.
The first thing you should do when you come to campus is come to the Financial Aid Office to pick up a Hiring Form, W-4 & I-9. You will complete and sign the student section of the hiring form. When you find a job, your supervisor will then complete the department section. You will then submit to Student Employment the completed Hiring Form, W-4, I-9 along with required IDs. We will then process your paperwork, payroll will notify your supervisor when you can begin working.
Should you not locate a job prior to school beginning, the Career Development Center sponsors a Work, Serve & Intern Fair that will be held Wednesday, September 3, 2014, 1-4 p.m. at the Woodland Commons Center.

Twenty-year-old Mariah Yeater has filed a paternity suit against Justin Bieber. Yes, you just read that correctly. She's alleging that the Bieber is the father of her 3-month old child, Tristan, and that he should "provide adequate support for my baby." Color us super shocked. She claims that they had sex backstage last year at his concert at Staples Center in L.A. The suit states that someone in his security team came up to her, asked if she wanted to meet Justin and took her backstage which is when the tryst went down. Unfortunately, he was 16 at the time, so under California law, it means he was underage. That's a whole new set of problems.
She doesn't hold back on the details either, and we have to admit, we feel totally gross reading them. But you have to know the story, so here goes: "Immediately, it was obvious that we were mutually attracted to one another, and we began to kiss," Yeater claims. "Shortly thereafter, Justin Bieber suggested that I go with him to a private place where we could be alone. I agreed to go with him and on the walk to a private area, he told me he wanted to make love to me and this was going to be his first time." This is her side of the story, remember. It's going to be graphic and detailed to further her cause.
What followed, she says, was a brief bout of bathroom sex which we're going to spare you the details of. It was sans protection of course as Yeater explains, "In his own words, he said that because it was his first time he wanted to feel everything." RadarOnline reports that she's already obtained a court hearing on December 15. Bieber's team is already up in arms and vehemently denying the liaison. A spokesperson for the Biebs said, "While we haven't yet seen the lawsuit, it's sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false claims. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations."
We'll keep you posted as when more details emerge.
