Can CPS (child protection service) demand us to drug test?
My wife and I have been stellar parents and we were surprised by 2 CPS workers on friday, 04/17/09, they stated that they had a report that we were smoking pot with our 14 yr old daughter and giving her vicodin. They searched our house briefly, checked our food supply, running water...ect, and all was fine. I showed them my daughters precribed .5 vicodin bottle from her dentist. I had been assaulted by my 24 yr old stepson about a week earlier and pressed charges against him. WE DO NOT smoke pot or take any other illegal drugs and have never smoked pot with our daughter. I am sure this is angry revenge tactic of my stepson, he was the only one that knew our daughter was having dental work and had been prescibed vicodin.When the workers handed us forms to go to the Crime Lab to get drug tested I stated "If we are supposedly smoking pot with our daughter, why not test her also? My understanding once a file is made on us, even if found "unfounded" as it will, it will show we were investigated by CPS on our records for 10 years! I have raise 5 step children and 2 daughters of my own (7 total), I have always wanted to have children and when I married my wife,along with taking on 5 kids, many thought I was crazy! Yes she was raising them on welfare, but then I stepped up and gave them a life they had never had, new school clothes, Cheer leading, Go Kart racing and overall stability. Our oldest continued her education (with our asistance) and she now has her Bachelors and Masters Degree's. I am so insualted and angry and its so obvious that this is just revenge for throwing out my lazy 24 yr old stepson that I have help so much and was physically assualted serverly in my face as he left, he has had 3 children by the time he was 21, all on welfare and now are in foster care due to CPS, and rightfully so! I believe I am protected by the HEPA law for my personal medicines that is my own private information. I have nothing to hide and they will not find any illegal drugs in either of us, its just the point that he (my stepson) can still keep "slapping me in the face", yet they can't find him to arrest him. This is his 2nd assault charge also. PLEASE give me any advice you have, I am pursueing legal advice today. 04/20/09.......................Thank-You... RAS

kleighs mommy
yes they can as your word is exactly that your word and to them it holds nothing
get a restraining order on the son
they can require random tests at their convenience not yours as well
take the test when they ask if you have nothing to hide why are you asking this
seems to me there is some truth to it since your scared

This is obviously a serious matter. Retain an attorney to represent your interests and advise you regarding how the law applies in this situation. Do it today, do not delay.

You stated "My understanding once a file is made on us, even if found "unfounded" as it will, it will show we were investigated by CPS on our records for 10 years!"
If your case is Ruled Out you can request you and your wife be removed as the persons in question of abuse. The Crime Lab will test you and when it comes back negative CPS should be able to close the case Ruled Out after they finish the investigation, which is usually a period of 30-60 days.
HIPA does protect medical information, however CPS usually asks you sign a waiver in cases such as these where medical collaterals are needed to confirm any past drug work that would reveal drug use, as well as suspected prescription drug abuse. If you do not cooperate, CPS can request Orders to Participate from the court. Lawyers do not usually fight CPS investigations as the state requires CPS to investigate suspicions of child abuse. If you have nothing to hide, there is no reason not to participate to move the process along more quickly.

The federal holiday we know as Presidents' Day is officially intended to celebrate George Washington's birthday on February 22.
Lincoln's birthday falls on February 12, and so a dozen states have chosen to celebrate the third Monday of each February as Presidents' Day, instead.
A few states, including Illinois, also mark Lincoln's Birthday on February 12. Unfortunately, for most people it doesn't mean a day off from school or work.
This February 15, join us for gaming and snacks in the large meeting room from 3-5:00pm. We'll have our Xbox and Wii consoles set up, and will be testing out Karaoke Revolution.

Monday January 18 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. King's actual birthday is January 15, but the national holiday falls on the third Monday of January each year.
Want to learn more about King? Visit the King Center for photos and videos.
Listen to King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, as well as several of his other speeches at Stanford University's King Institute.
Visit the Encyclopedia of Chicago to read about how the civil rights movement brought King to Chicago in 1966 to advocate for fair housing.
In this video, comedian Stephen Colbert introduces an unusual way to remember King. For a more serious remembrance, read this message by Coretta Scott King, his wife.
Why not celebrate King's legacy by participating in a public service project?
Next Monday, we'll have open gaming 3-5:00pm and a study hall 5-9:00pm in the board room. The library has many books about King and the civil rights movement, so check them out!

Product Description
Soft with oils and thick veins of black Truffle. The ideal vehicle for this sought-after delight of the earth.
Quick Facts
Country of Origin: Italy
Milk Type/Treatment: Raw sheep
Rennet Type: Animal
The Flavor Experience
This truffled cheese starts with an already remarkable base—Moliterno. The ever-popular pecorino preserves the grassy, tangy oils of the sheep's milk and finishes unusually sweet: makings of the perfect vehicle for the ethereal earthiness of the prized black truffle. A paste of this earthly delight is injected into the cheese, incorporating itself as the wheel ages, and diffusing the distinct aroma throughout.
The Story
Milk isn't the only thing cheese preserves. The black truffle has a limited season, but surrounded by the salts and oils of Moliterno, black truffles are yours year round. These wheels are rubbed with vinegar and olive oil as they age, highlighting the subtle bite already present in the cheese, and guarding against any escape of truffly-goodness.
Usage Tips
Pecorino, truffle, and honey make one of the most harmonious trios in the world of cheese-pairing. Starting with two-in-one, I recommend the gossamer Bee Raw Colorado Star-Thistle Honey with its almost marshmallow flavor. Moliterno al Tartufo can easily dominate the table, so choose a wine that can stand up but not overpower, like an earthy but floral Barolo. You may even find its kindred cheese-spirit in Testun a Barolo. Now THAT is one special cheese plate!

When Wake schools superintendent Tony Tata was hired, I thought to myself, "It won't work."
Although I didn't deal often with generals during my tour in uniform, there were enough ego-inflated second lieutenants around to instill in me a lingering prejudice against commissioned officers. I worried that someone used to giving orders for 28 years and having them carried out without question might have problems dealing with our free-thinking, duly elected school board.
So when Tata recently clashed with two board members, accusing them of ethics violations, I thought, "See? Once a general, always a general." But, to my surprise, Tata has generally done a decent job that has included grappling with a politically divisive board during much of his tenure. Designing and selling a massive and complex new student assignment plan itself is no small challenge.
The superintendent needs to keep this in mind.

UNICOI — For Kristen Robinson, several words come to mind when asked to describe her experience in the town of Unicoi thus far.
"Perfect. Awesome. Great. Fantastic. Outstanding. I'm loving it," she said.
Oct. 21 marked Robinson's first day as the town's parks and recreation director. She takes over for previous director Travis Barbee, who accepted a position in the Durham, N.C., area.
Robinson, a native of central Florida, brings a diverse background to the post that includes working with afterschool and outdoor education programs, halfway houses, time spent teaching in Uganda, and years as a venture guide, through which she has worked in Tennessee, North Carolina and West Virginia. Prior to signing on with the town of Unicoi, she worked for Big Creek Expeditions along the Pigeon River in Hartford as a whitewater rafting guide.
She earned a Sociology degree from the University of South Florida and is working toward an online Master of Science in Park and Recreation Management degree from Maryland's Frostburg State University.
Robinson said her affinity for the outdoors began at a young age. She spent summers in her youth at the Rockbrook Camp in Brevard, N.C., and was encouraged to appreciate the outdoors and the activities it offers by her grandmother.
"I've always loved the outdoors," she said. "I was always the kid who was playing outside."
Through her time spent on the rapids as a guide, Robinson was previously introduced to the Nolichucky River. After having worked on the Nolichucky in the past, she said the opportunity to work in the area in a capacity that emphasises the outdoors was one she couldn't pass up.
"Of all the rivers I've ever worked, and I've worked a lot, this place is one of the most beautiful places I have been," Robinson said.
As far as goals for the town of Unicoi's Parks and Recreation Department, Robinson said she she would like to offer hunting, fishing, gun safety and water safety classes. She also said she would like to bolster the town's farmer's market, as well as encourage more women and children to take part in outdoor acitivities, such as flyfishing and geocaching. She said she woudl also like to construct an interpretive trail somewhere within the town.
"I haven't found a location just yet, but we're looking at a few locations," Robinson said.
Other ideas Robinson has include the possible installation of a bike-washing station at the trailhead of the Pinnacle Fire Tower Trail and looking to partner with local biking clubs to hold more events at the trail.
Robinson said she is looking for volunteer, as well as idea and program proposals. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Alan Lester Sokol accused of crank calls, death threats to judge, calling police 50 times in one day
Cops: All because officer looked at him 'wrong'
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- A grudge-prone serial crank caller sang violent death threats to a judge, phoned a doctor so many times he had to change his number, and called the Delray Beach Police Department more than 50 times in a single day after a police officer reportedly looked at him the wrong way at a Walmart.
Alan Lester Sokol, 60, of Delray Beach, also tried to cover his tracks by using a magicJack phone device that allowed him to make calls from out-of-state decoy numbers.
To no avail. Investigators with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office tracked the retiree down after serving subpoenas on YMAX Communications Corp, the West Palm Beach company behind magicJack, and Comcast, Sokol's Internet provider.
He was arrested Wednesday.
By his own admission, Sokol held a 12-year grudge against Judge Nelson E. Bailey since appearing before the judge in a domestic violence case in 2000, according to an arrest report.
Sokol blamed Bailey for raising his bail in that case, which in turn put his mother in a financial bind, police said.
Filled with swearing, racial epithets, homophobia, insults and death threats, the bulk of Sokol's voice mail messages to Bailey's assistant can't be published because of their sheer obscenity.
"You know it'd be worth goin' to the 'f-----' gas chamber to f-----' whack you, you f-----' piece of s---," he said in one July 14 voice mail. In another, he also allegedly threatened to pistol-whip Bailey. In others, he sang profanity-laced and threatening songs.
Police said the retiree's phone antics didn't start and stop with the 15th Judicial Circuit Court judge.
Sokol also dialed Delray Beach Police more than 50 times in a 24-hour period on July 30. He told police he wanted "revenge" because a Delray Beach police officer had given him a dirty look at Walmart.
"At that point, you're not only occupying our dispatchers' time, you're occupying phone lines that could be used to deal with real emergencies," said Sgt. Nicole Guerriero, Delray Beach police spokeswoman. "It poses a huge threat to our community."
Between July and October 2011, Sokol also bombarded the office and home of Dr. Pierre Andre, a medical doctor who specializes in psychiatry, with racist phone calls. Police said the calls became so relentless that Dr. Andre changed his home phone number.
Sokol used the magicJack — a USB port and phone jack device used to make Internet calls — to switch his outgoing phone number to a Texas number, police said.
He is also believed to have made similar phone calls to police departments in Hollywood, Fla., and Fairhaven, Mass., according to the arrest report.
Confronted by police, Sokol admitted to calling Bailey's assistant and threatening the judge in seven messages left on July 14 and 22, police said. Unapologetic, Sokol called the judge a "worm." Asked about Dr. Andre, Sokol said he was angry because the doctor referred him to another physician, police said.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement records showed that Sokol has been arrested several times since the early 1970s for offenses including cocaine possession and battery.
Sokol now faces stalking and harassment charges as well as one count of commit misdemeanor with evidence of prejudice.
Staff researcher Barbara Hijek contributed to this report

An educated review... Vatan is a lovely gem amidst all the other Indian restaurants in Curry Hill. Great for vegetarians. Contrary to what another reviewer said, the metal trays are not "tacky." They are thalis: round, usually stainless steel, dishes used to serve traditional vegetarian Indian dishes.
Posted by christine on 02/08/2005
I'm sorry, but this is the worst Indian food I've ever had. The service was good, but that was as far as it went. The food came on metal cafeteria trays (very tacky) and tasted stale, metallic, and unflavorful. It was way overpriced, almost $35 per person. The atmosphere could have been better. The lighting could have been dim and there should have been indian music playing, instead of something pop/rock on the radio. I've been to much better places, and also my dad used to own an Indian restaurant so I know what I'm talking about.
Posted by parimala on 02/07/2005
I was blown away by the ambience at 'vatan'....although the menu was pre-set it was worth it and very appeasing, especially if you are a vegetarian. The service and style was excellent. the village setting, along with the staff dressed in traditional attire was relaxing.... I highly recommend the place n look fwd to going there often.
Posted by Fat and Happy on 02/03/2005
Go to Vatan with an appetite and an open mind, and you won't be disappointed. My husband and I have taken out-of-town guests here several times, and they have always been blown away by the experience. The food is incredible--a set menu with all you can eat Vegetarian Indian--and the service is very attentive. Take your shoes off and enjoy a culinary adventure.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/25/2005
This restaurant is hands down the best indian food to be had in New York - especially if you don't eat meat. And if you do eat meat, you won't miss it. The atmosphere is delightful - real trees, raised and secluded eating areas. Reservation is required for the pre-set all you can eat menu but it's worth it. The staff is not only incredibly attentive and and informative but dressed in exquisite saris. The food is fantastic and you can get more of anything you like. This is a great place for special events or to impress the vegetarian in your life. Don't go if you haven't got an appetite!
Posted by Partha on 12/08/2004
I have been frequenting Vatan since 1998. It is a all you can eat multiple course dinner with a fixed menu, where the food keeps coming - so go hungry. This is Gujarati Vegetarian food, with an emphasis on snack like items. The atmosphere is meant to recreate an Indian village. Only drawback - the menu is pretty similar across time, so you can't "frequent" this place. However, going once or twice a year is great fun. The price is moderate, around 23 bucks, but this includes dessert and tea.

This was delicious!! I was a little apprehensive at first because I rarely ever make gravy. I made it primarily because my boyfriend is a "sauce" person. He raved!!! The chicken was a bit bigger than 3 lbs, so obviously, allow for more cook time. I partnered it with roasted new potatoes and fresh green beans cooked with lemon rind and olive oil (blanche them first).

Thanks for the recipe!!!

Google scans your Gmail inbox for child porn to help catch criminals, but don't worry about loss of privacy (yet) August 5, 2014 at 8:02 am
Last week, a man in Texas was arrested by the police for sending child porn to a friend email. This isn't something we'd usually report on, except in this case the man was arrested due to a direct tip-off from Google, which caught the child porn moving across its Gmail servers and dutifully alerted the police. This raises a rather thorny question: How did Google scan the man's inbox for child porn? And more importantly, does this mean Google is scanning everyone's inbox for child porn and other illegal materials?

Woodinville Whiskey Company
From the May/June 2011 issue of Northwest Palate
With large-scale gleaming copper and German-made stills (including, as their website says, "two dephlegmators for amplified rectification"), seductive packaging and marketing, and the assistance of a Kentucky distilling master, the recently opened Woodinville Whiskey Company is an impressive new presence in the Northwest distilling scene.
Founded by Woodinville-area residents Orlin Sorensen and Brett Carlile, the distillery focuses on small-batch production using organic grains grown in Washington, and is guided in their distilling by David Pickerell, former master distiller of Maker's Mark. As is typical for any new distillery, the first products are white (unaged) spirits. Their Peabody Jones Vodka is made from all-organic Washington soft winter wheat, while the Headlong White Dog Whiskey is a bourbon-style whiskey made from corn, wheat, and malted barley.
The distillery is currently ageing whiskeys for future release, but are also offering an Age Your Own Whiskey Kit consisting of two bottles of 110-proof unaged whiskey, a two-liter ageing barrel, pouring funnel, tasting glasses, and step-by-step instructions.
With an enthusiastic style and an appreciation for both quality of product and message, Woodinville Whiskey Company makes for an intriguing new destination amidst the wine-centric tasting rooms of this Seattle suburb.

OKLAHOMA CITY – September 11th, 2001 is a date hard to forget. Terrorist attacks devastated America and thousands of innocent lives were taken.
To recognize the victims and hundreds of New York firefighters killed on that frightful day, crews from Oklahoma and Texas are coming together to climb more than 100 floors.
"Let's do this 343 for them. That's 110 man. Let's do this," said Joe Russell with the Oklahoma City Fire Department.
This year marks 13 years since 9/11.
"We just don't want anyone to ever forget. Not just the people who died, the firefighters, the police, just all the heroes that went above and beyond to save innocent people," said Josh Reason with the Yukon Fire Department.
For the 3rd year in a row, firefighters in our state are hosting a stair climb at the First National Building in Downtown Oklahoma City.
Crews are walking up 110 floors, which is the same amount as one of the Twin Towers.
"There's still a passion in the fire service and to know that they're going to be completing the assignment that the man that they're climbing for didn't get to on 9/11," said Russell.
The firefighters will wear 50 pounds of gear as they climb 110 floors.
This year, all 343 firefighters killed on 9-11 will be represented by Oklahoma and Texas crews, each wearing a name tag with their fallen brothers names on it.
With each tiring step, this is a way to honor their fallen comrades in a unique way.
"What a tragic day that was. It was one of the worst days for Americans, but it can be turned around to be one of the best days, because of the resilience of our people," said Reason.
The Oklahoma City 9/11 stair climb is on Saturday, September 6th.
The opening ceremony is at 8:00 a.m. at Leadership Square.

The Colour Purple - A Trademark Issue
Posted by: Creativematch
Date added: Tue 02 Oct 2012
Cadbury has won a legal battle after Nestlé took it to court, challenging an earlier ruling which gave the former company exclusive use of Pantone 2685C – the particular type of purple used in Dairy Milk packaging. Despite Nestlé arguing that the colour should not be protected as a trade mark, the judge ruled that this particular shade had been linked to the chocolate bar for more than 90 years.
"The importance of this decision for Cadbury cannot be underestimated," said intellectual property partner in DWF's food group, Ed Meikle. "Arguably, the colour is one of the chocolate manufacturer's most important assets and as such, the company would undoubtedly have appealed the decision if it had lost. Perhaps Nestlé was simply testing what is currently acceptable to the Courts; but it must have known that challenging a core asset of its arch rival could be provocative.
"For some time, a single colour has been recognised in law as capable of being a trade mark - but only for a particular colour and for specific products or services. As well as Cadbury's purple for chocolate, other well known examples include BP's green for petrol stations, Orange's orange for mobile phone services and UPS' brown for parcel delivery services.
"So long as the single colour on its own can indicate the origin of the product or service, then it is likely to be recognised as a trade mark and, most importantly, enable the owner to stop others from using it."
Ed Meikle is a partner in DWF's food sector group. He specialises in brand protection law, advising household names on the development, management and protection of brands.

Top Ten List of Restaurants in Seattle...
Please add your top ten list of restaurant in Seattle... and why those restaurants... It could be Expensive, medium, fast food, etc.
since you say "fast food" (and judging from your earlier posts about looking for inexpensive Italian, Chinese, gyros, cheesesteak sandwiches, hot dogs etc), one can't help but wonder whether you are really serious about eating at a top ten restaurant (which tend to be on the more expensive side)...? Most of the entries on people's top ten lists could be out of your true target price range. Perhaps you can specify an upper limit on price?
re: barleywino
Perhaps you can be less of a snob? Price should have nothing to do with it. My entry is the Swedish Cultural Center, for providing a breakfast experience like no other in Seattle. Otherwise: Crush, Union, Crave, Mistral, Monsoon, Palace Kitchen, Elemental, Lark, Dahlia, blah blah blah.
re: Lets_eat
Price has everything to do with it-- Ten Best Fine Dining is a totally different list than Ten Best Casual Dining. i think all of the restaurants you name (except possibly Crave and Monsoon) would be out of the o.p.'s target price range, based on his earlier posts http://www.chowhound.com/topics/460414
http://www.chowhound.com/topics/441487 ("I am looking for traditional NY food, If i could get there by subway i will be there...
This are may choices: GOOD FALAFEL, BEST PIZZA, BEST HOT DOG, GOOD DELI, HOT WINGS, GOOD LUNCH SPECIAL I CHINA TOWN...I WILLL BE in Ny for a week..."
, where he specified inexpensive, fast food etc. that's why i asked for clarification. does he really want to spend $50 pp at Crush, or $200 at Mistral? i have nothing against a good hot dog or gyros or chicken wings (like at Fu Lin), or cheap Chinese food, but if that is what the o.p. is looking for, he should clarify, so that people don't waste their time and his time listing a bunch of places that are not helpful for him.
re: barleywino
"Price has everything to do with it-- Ten Best Fine Dining is a totally different list than Ten Best Casual Dining"
That's true, but the ten best restaurants is *not* price specific. I would easily put Paseo and Green Leaf on a Ten Best list for Seattle, right along side some mid range price and some pricey restaurants.
In fact, looking at the *question* and not looking at previous posts, he outright said it can be anything, expensive or fast food.
re: jaydeflix
IT can be anything... Casual, fine or fast... I just want to hear your opinions to make my decision. I am going to take one or two fine dining in my trip and also casual or fast if I am in a hurry :)
re: Lets_eat
I am taking notes... :))) Thank you for many good places to eat...

Israel fears Hizbullah attacks
Head of Israel's Military Intelligence Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin has reportedly said that Hizbullah might launch a limited attack in northern Israel via a Palestinian group to avenge the Jewish state's military operation in the Gaza Strip. Yadlin told a cabinet meeting on Sunday that "the blow Hizbullah received in 2006 made it wary of carrying out a major attack," according to Israeli daily Haaretz.
"Hizbullah might carry out a low-profile attack by means of a Palestinian organization that would be limited and not set the border on fire," Yadlin reportedly said. According to him, Israeli forces also remained on high alert in light of a possible Hizbullah strike against an Israeli target abroad to avenge the assassination of Hizbullah military commander Imad Mughniyeh in a car bombing in Damascus in Feb. 2008.
Haaretz on Monday also quoted a government source in Jerusalem as saying the military is on high alert in the country's north.

The University of Idaho fosters a dynamic and vibrant undergraduate research community. Research opportunities are abundant and diverse. Many of our students are in the lab within the first semester of being on campus.
If you are motivated and have the drive and ambition to conduct formal research, capture and report on your findings, working with your adviser, you'll find many research opportunities on campus.
The Student Research Expo, held in the fall of the year, features undergraduate and graduate students posters of their research projects. During the Expo, students answer questions from the judging panel as well as the public.
College of Science is able to offer the Hill Undergrad Research Fellowships each year to support undergraduate research projects. The awards typically extend for three semesters and include both a research budget and a scholarship component.
The Department of Biological Sciences encourages undergraduate research and annually offers five undergraduate research awards, including the Curtis and Mary Sundquist Award and four departmental awards to support these activities.
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Participants in the REU program perform research as part of an established, internationally recognized physics department.
Shannon MacKenzie's research subject is far from her lab – in fact, it's more than 1 billion kilometers away. She works in the lab of Jason Barnes, an associate professor of physics, and is part of a team of UI student and faculty researchers studying Titan. "I come into work every day and get to look at these lakes and seas that are on the surface of another planet," MacKenzie says.

A 23-year-old Duluth man was arrested on Thursday, after St. Louis County Sheriff deputies found him slumped behind his steering wheel in a Hermantown McDonald's drive-thru.
Hermantown police say the St. Louis County Sheriff's were the first on the scene at 5:59 a.m.
When they confronted the man, they say he identified himself only as "Sheriff's Office." When deputies asked where the driver was coming from, he again said "Sheriff's Office."
The driver was alright, but the responding deputy says he appeared "out of it."
Hermantown police arrived on the scene and arrested the driver on charges of third-degree DWI.

this is my first backup. i did follow the instructions on this guid (Backup Wii Games on any Wii) so i assume that i downloaded a coaster. the backup launcher is gamma or something like that. the wiitracker is not working right now, but last time i checked, the firmware was D2b??? or something liek that... might be a coaster... i am noob...
A coaster is what you put your drink on to stop it marking the table, lol. I've had the same error message before from some torrents. Try downloading another torrent, or ask them on the site what you should do.
I use TDK-R discs at 4x speed and I rarely get problems. But Verbatim are also fine to use.
thank you :-)
it works now.. the disk was a dud
Ive burned over 100 wii games all on maxell dvd-r sq 4.7BG with out any problem, So i bought myself 25, Verbatim 43522 DVD-R 16x 4.7GB, as they are knowin as the best media for wii backups.
So I burned the .iso as normal, IMGBURN x2, put the dvd in the wii and played the game for about five minutes, then I got a error, so I reboot the wii and this time the disc channel does not show the game as before.
I have a Wiikey V2 and homebrew, gamma 002 fix sonic channel.The wiikey should display the game in the game channel. so I try loading the game in the gemma channel, but it doesn't load it just goes back to the main settings.
So I burned a new game, and again it does not work, then I burn the game on a Maxell dvd-r and the game works perfact.
I really hope some else has experienced this, because I can't understand it.

I burned over 140 games so far. I have used HP, Sony, Verbatim and they all work perfectly. I have only wasted 3 discs. One was PAL version of WWII Aces which doesnt work forcing NTSC, another was Mahjong and solitaire which doesnt work on backup launcher, and the other was PDC Pro darts championship 09 PAL which also doesnt work forcing NTSC.
Exactly what happens again when you try and load the game?
first, a coaster is a trashed dvd, second, did you install ios249?, that allows backups to be read i believe, and dvdx needs to be installed as well. i did every thing to my wii, without really knowing anything about any of this, and i have zero problems (for the most part) . do any other backups work, or is it just this one? what sys menu r u on? we already know how many gigs and minutes a dvd is.

I was the crazy, silly, goofy
little girl of the block
and you.. you were the dorky
goofy little boy of the block
together we were a wild little crew
soon years pass
and now were a little older
I'm still the crazy, silly, goofy
girl of the block
but you...your the hardcore, trouble-maker
boy of the block
now were teenagers...
we go on different paths
yet were still best friends
now im the odd, strange, dark
girl of the block
and you...you're the jail bird
trapped with drugs...
my heart aches for you
to get better..
then the truth comes out...
you become all my heart
beats for, all I care for..
you tell me you love me
and I say it back...
then one day...
you get in serious trouble..
you call me
my heart stops..
you come over
its 9:30...
were standing on my
I cry in your shoulder...
then we start swaying
your soft gentle lips
met my forehead
as you kiss me..
heart sinks
throat swells
stomach churns..
your soft gentle sweet
words play in my
head like a broken record..
promising me that one day we
share a dance
each day we talk
my heart jumps
growing up we were the same
and now...
were two different people...
now years have passed..
and I wait patiently for
that special dance

A mild taste of cacao and with a lot of antoxidants in the raw form. But still I prefer the nibs although you have to grind them in some kind of grinder (coffee-grinder or anyhting similar). But the grinded nibs feel much more potent.

Warm Your Heart with this Touching Holiday Story
Just in time for the holidays comes Mara Purl's latest short story "Whose Angel Key Ring," a Milford-Haven short story. Cozy up with a cup of Christmas tea and let your mind journey to the sumptuous Calvin Estate overlooking the gorgeous coastal scenery of Santa Barbara.
Can a secret be kept for most of a young man's lifetime? Joan Calvin must have thought so before she died years ago. Yet it was a secret she didn't want kept from her son forever-just until he was ready to hear the truth. This Christmas, the time has come. It wasn't that she placed it on a future calendar for her husband Joseph to find. Instead, she entrusted the timing of the disclosure to fate, and to the trustworthy butler whom she knew would never desert young Zackery. So now, all these years later, a key that'd gone missing has mysteriously appeared. What does it unlock? Is it just the heirloom clock hiding in plain site on the mantel? Or does the angel key ring unlock far more? Though the e-book stands alone, it also extends the Milford-Haven Novels, the critically acclaimed, popular series, a multi-generational saga. Based on Purl's BBC Radio drama Milford-Haven U.S.A.

Spikes hopes to get even
CHARLESTON -- Nigel Spikes has played in the Capital Classic three times with mixed results.
Spikes helped the Marshall University men's basketball team beat the West Virginia Mountaineers in 2011, but was on the losing side in 2010 and again on Jan. 18, 2012.
And, he's enjoyed every minute of it, except for the losses.
"You really can't ask for anything more," Spikes said. "It's a great environment."
Marshall (5-3) and West Virginia (2-3) play for the 41st time at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, and the 12,380-seat Charleston Civic Center will be close to sold-out if not jammed to the rafters. A state-wide television audience will be watching on the Capital Classic Network of six stations that includes WOWK-13 and a national viewing crowd on ESPN Full Court.
It's an emotional event for everyone involved with a loud reaction from the crowd to every move a player makes. At times, the noise becomes ear-splitting.
Spikes said he attempts to avoid being distracted by the energy in the arena, but you really can't. Fans of both teams can be hostile, he said.
"You can try blocking it out. That's what you're supposed to do," he said.
Marshall coach Tom Herrion wants his team to embrace the emotion of the Capital Classic and play its game.
That shouldn't be a problem for Marshall newcomer Elijah Pittman, who has been on the big stage before.
Pittman, a 6-foot-9 junior forward averaging 14.0 points and 5.5 rebounds for Marshall was part of a Covington Holmes High School team that won the 2009 Kentucky Sweet 16 state tournament championship in Lexington, Ky., at Rupp Arena.
"Nothing compares to Rupp," Pittman said Tuesday. "That crowd was amazing."
Pittman said he was recruited by WVU coach Bob Huggins in high school before grade problems led him to junior college.
"They look like the West Virginia team I've been watching since high school when I wanted to go there," Pittman said. "It will be a rough, intense, physical game. Some fouls get called, some don't.
"We just have to focus on making shots and finish the ball."
Marshall also has Dre Kane playing in the Capital Classic for the third time. Kane scored 18 when Marshall won in 2010 and scored 19 in the last game.
Kane said it's a fun game.
"It's a rivalry, both teams are going hard and the refs are calling a hundred fouls," he said. "It's fun."
Marshall's big front line of Pittman, 6-8 Dennis Tinnon and the 6-10 Spikes will go against an equally big team of Mountaineers led inside by 6-10 Aaric Murray and 6-9, 260-pound Deniz Kilicli who is from Istanbul, Turkey, and nicknamed "The Istan-Bull."
Tinnon and Spikes are in the top 50 nationally for rebounding average at 9.4 and 9.1 respectively. Tinnon averages 11.9 points and Spikes scores 7.9 per game. Murray, a transfer from LaSalle, lead WVU with 7.0 rebounds a game while scoring 10.2 points. Kilicli averages 9.4 points and 6.4 rebounds.
Those big WVU players will meet Marshall at the rim, and the Herd has had trouble finishing shots.
"We missed a lot of shots around the basket that we can't miss in future games," Spikes said this week following a win over UNC Wilmington. "When we get that down pat it will help us a lot."
Leading scorers for both teams are guards -- Kane for the Thundering Herd averaging 16.0 and Juwan Staten of the Mountaineers averaging 10.8.
WVU's man-to-man defense that Herrion said "can take you out," will be locked in on the Herd's all-conference junior guard. Kane has struggled to make shots lately, going 13-for-52 in a three-game winning streak.
"They'll (shots) fall," Kane said on the eve of the game.

Ashtabula is not Toledo. Sorry man.
32-17 tOSU!
I think that you are correct in that tOSU always plays ttun like there's no tomorrow whereas these other opponents are more mundane and therefore warrant less emotion and intensity.
gotcha. thanks!
In the picture with the "bullet chairs" there are two mannequins with what appear to be new jersey styles. Are these the new pro combat uniforms?
I'm so happy for him. Sometimes hard work does pay off!
I respectfully disagree with your contention that Williams and Ravenel are the same. Ever since that "pep talk" at NW, Ravenel has shown the intensity that had been lacking to complete his game. Williams still looks lost against the upper tier centers of the league. He lacks the killer instinct that Ravenel brings. IMHO.
love the razzle dazzle from the Bucks
two words: "Beth Mowins"
You are right. Matta really raised the bar so that we all expect greatness from his teams.
I am concerned b/c he will still throw up the same number of shots regardless of whether they are falling or not....
I'm also a big fan. I hope to see him and RDS decimate some RBs in the future.
I would be upset too with the garbage call at the end of regulation for I State, but assaulting the opposing team's coach? Stay classy, I State.
Well played, sir.
Very good point. As is often noted, when the PG is playing like his life depended on it then the team will respond, and I think that that is what we saw yesterday. Craft was a beast who fired up other player like Ravenel et al.
Fantastic. Well done!
Thanks for the updates! Is it just me or is there far less hype about this year's combine than last year? (Te'o excluded...)
You gotta love catching any team sleeping, but especially one with a top-notch coach like Izzo. THERE WILL BE BLOOD
I'll be rooting for him for sure. This will live in my memory for ever
The thing is--he's not even sitting---it's like he's just leaning on the desk. No wonder he's a 5*
That doesn't make it any less impressive....

Brittany Murphy would've been 33 years old today. Tragically, the star passed away late last year; six months later her husband Simon Monjack died as well.
We're going to hear a lot about their lives though, because according to TMZ, Brit's mother Sharon Murphy is writing a tell-all book about her actress-daughter's life. An official statement reads, "This book will be my way of celebrating and honoring her extraordinary life and career." Our eyebrows are raised, but Sharon reiterates that the memoir-of-sorts will be an, "accurate account about my daughter, her life, loves, and career."
We'll only know what the intent of the book is once it surfaces. We're hoping it really is a celebration of Brittany's life and not just some excuse to air dirty laundry or secrets (though we'd probably read it either way).

Another slam-dunk performance by Malkovich! Here, he plays probably his most quirky, unusual yet…a combination of different characters…all pretending to be Stanley Kubrick. What???? Yes, you read me right. Malkovich's character plays a man named Alan Conway…who is obsessed with being known as Stanley Kubrick. Well, in addition to Kubrick, Conway is also obsessed with NEVER PAYING FOR ANYTHING, which he is able to get away with MUCH easier as Kubrick, than as Conway. Set in London in the 1990s, the tag-line for this film is "a true-ish story." And, that would be pretty accurate…since there WAS a man in London in the late 1990s pretending to be Stanley Kubrick. But, that I believe is where the truth ends. All of Malkovich's characters I would say are originals. If the imposter really did do some of the things Alan Conway gets away with, I would want to shake that man's hand. Because Conway does and gets away with the more ludicrous things…they have to have been conceived in the mind of the screenwriter, right? But, then again, the idea of someone posing as a famous film director is pretty much out there already.
Posts Tagged: John Malkovich
A fun, lively film about an entertainer/magician/all-around-showman who has a final last hurrah in the spotlight, which is much more than he really deserves. John Malkovich comes across with a unique, completely original character that makes me respect him more as an actor. After playing bad guy after bad guy, his performances got a little monotonist. Here, though, Malkovich cannot be called anything but unusual and exceptional. The story of a "Kreskin-like" illusionist (actually, Buck Howard was inspired by The Amazing Kreskin, which you find out at the end) who we think is waning toward retirement. When he comes up with one last big idea to gain some popularity back, of course the audience thinks he's crazy (which is pretty accurate). But, the idea, by some twist of fate, takes off and gives him more success than he's ever had. The story itself is silly at times but Malkovich makes this movie with his quirky, distinctive performance.

- person in the U.S. has this name View Bill Ketcherside on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Altered short form of William, not used before the 19th century. The reason for the change in the initial consonant is not clear, but it conforms to the pattern regularly found when English words beginning with w- are borrowed into Gaelic. The nickname 'King Billy' for William of Orange is an early example from Ireland, which may have influenced English usage. It is bestowed occasionally as a name in its own right.
|244th in the U.S.
English: Altered form of Kitcherside, a habitational name of unexplained origin. The final element is presumably Middle English side 'hillside', 'slope'.

This month, we will go over how to speed up your V8 design work using keyboard shortcuts.
You will notice that the toolbar icons have characters below them. These are the shortcut keys associated with each tool set.
To take advantage of these shortcuts, you must first enable Position Mapping (Workspace | Preferences).
When Position Mapping is enabled, you can press the shortcut key to bring up the menu associated with that character.
In addition, if you want to load the tool that is already showing in the toolbar (like the Place SmartLine tool in the example above), you can just press <Shift> and the shortcut key and the tool is activated directly.

Nice pics in a recent Seattle Times article of a really elegant and warm condo interior in Madison Park. It's a good example of a downsizing for folks who are accustomed to the space and home-iness of a house but want the convenience and amenities of a condo. Of course, this assumes you've got the budget to make that transition without making many compromises but as you can see from these pics, it can be done 😉

Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED® is a third-party certification system that measures the sustainable performance of buildings and can be applied to any building type and any building life-cycle phase. The LEED Green Building Rating System is the national benchmark for the design, construction, and operations of high-performance green buildings.
For those who own and operate buildings, LEED provides a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. It also enables project teams to deliver certified performance for their buildings. Third-party certification assures that LEED buildings are constructed and operated as intended.
An organization's participation in the voluntary and technically rigorous LEED process demonstrates leadership, innovation and environmental stewardship. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in six key areas:
1. Sustainable Sites
2. Water Efficiency
3. Energy and Atmosphere
4. Indoor Environmental Quality
5. Materials & Resources
6. Innovation & Design

GOP plans to lobby locals during town meetingBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | February 21,2014MONTPELIER House GOP officials are prepping the caucus ahead of Town Meeting Day on how they plan to lower the property tax rate recommended by Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin.
The Shumlin administration has recommended a 7 cent increase in the statewide property tax for the next fiscal year. Georgia Republican Carolyn Branagan, a member of the House Ways and Means committee, said lawmakers can take action and set a lower rate, however.
Its not a definite thing its going to cost that much. There are some things we can do to lower it, she said.
Branagan briefed her Republican colleagues this week on several steps GOP leaders are supporting to lower Shumlins recommendation. The House Ways and Means Committee will work to set the rate after the annual town meeting break when local communities vote on school budgets.
Branagan said the states education fund, supported largely by the property tax to fund public education, contains more money than is needed to fund K-12 public schools. It also includes funding for a number of programs, including the Department of Corrections education program and adult basic education, that could be moved to the general fund, she said.
I personally think that needs to be moved out of the ed fund and it would lower the ed fund cost and lower local property taxes. That all is paid with the property tax, she said.
Branagan expects push back on shifting programs to the general fund, however.
The GOP will also look to have the Ways and Means Committee keep the base per-pupil spending amount the same at $9,151. Branagan said current statute allows it to be raised by $200 per student in the next fiscal year.
With a declining student enrollment, I dont really think thats necessary and thats a way that we could save nearly another penny, she said.
Meanwhile, local school budgets may not be as high as first projected. The Shumlin administration made its 7 cent increase recommendation based on local school budgets rising, on average, by 3.8 percent, according to Branagan. Local budgets do not appear to be rising that much, though.
We have about 200 school budgets collected so far out of about 250 or so. Theyre averaging out about 3 percent, she said. If all those budgets pass at 3 percent that certainly will be a reduction, she said.
Finally, the state has an $11 million surplus sunk away in a fund from the previous fiscal year, Branagan said. Using that money would lower the statewide property tax rate by about 1 penny, she said.
A combination of those efforts could lower Shumlins recommendation significantly, she said.
I would like to keep it at level. Its probably not reasonable to do that, so if we can get down to 4 cents Ill be happy, Branagan.
Other revenue sources that feed the education fund include the states sales tax and the purchase and use tax. Branagan said the party is not looking to raise those to offset property taxes.
Were not contemplating any increase in those at all, she said. The 7 cents is, right now, the only increase in revenue being considered. Im not considering any other increases in revenue. Instead, Im suggesting that we do some things to lower expenditures, she said.
Branagan said she has compiled information on the states education financing system for lawmakers that includes the ideas to lower the recommended tax rate. That information can be distributed to constituents at town meetings across the state, she said.
House Minority Leader Rep. Don Turner of Milton said he is encouraging his caucus to talk to constituents about the GOPs ideas.
Those ideas are ideas that weve batted around in the past and they are good ideas, he said.
The House GOP caucus is interested in a education financing system that reconnects the voter to their tax bill, Turner said.
The message, in my opinion and what the caucus has been working toward and saying, is that we cant continue to fund schools the way we are. We have to rework the system so it has balance and is fair to everyone, he said. The current system is broken and thats why were seeing these big increases.

|D.A.S. Collection
D.A.S. is comprised of two sisters, Reem and Hind Beljafla, who are the designing duo behind the label. They hail from the UAE and create trendy, unique, and fashion forward abayas.
(Their abayas are so gorgeous, I can't even breathe properly right now.)
They recently showed in Duabai Fashion Week with their Fall 2010 collection, some of which can be seen below:
Here are a few of my favorites from the Resort 2010 collection:
DAS is now being sold in Harrods as well, which I find so exciting. It's so wonderful to be able to find Islamic fashion in mainstream stores. I'm just fascinated with this world of couture and high end abayas. I love it…and I need some!
