I get off at 11pm.....thats also when my shift ends....so I unwind by scanning the headlines of NJ.com......then I usually assume the fetal position and cry myself to sleep....isn't that what everyone does?
I agree and have been saying the same thing for years, there has to be a better way. Do I have a better way.....no...but locking some one up and then say ok kids need milk for breakfast seems kinda counter productive
The world has drastically changed over the last 3-4 years;
As things stand today with Cumberland County having over 20%+ unemployment rate jobs are more precious then gold. It would be a real shame if someone lost a job for not showing up because he/she was locked up. (OK in know the cheap seats will say 'then pay your support'.....lets say a guy finally landed a job 10 days ago after a two year search, then lost it before his first check was cut because he was in lockdown....I am sure this has happened to someone along the way.....like I said it is a different world today. To prevent a situation like I described if you could prove employment....there should be no lockup....no bail to pay....to prevent the loss of the job. If the person has one the court system should consider it the childrens most important asset.) All somone from the Child Support division would have to do is call and confirm employment, the details on paying whatever is owed can be ironed out, But, job preservation should be the first and most important goal of the system.
Are there deadbeats out there.....sure there are....there always have been and always will be. But even for the most dedicated father or mother , the world as we knew it has changed employment wise and not for the better. My kids are grown and have kids of their own. When my company lost it's biggest contract it was the death of the company. One day making good money, the next standing in lines filling out forms. I have a very solid work history, two college degree's from VERY good schools and am even a Registered Nurse. I had a stack of letters of recommendation from well respected people and over the years had taken any class, training or certification related to my field that was offered to me. Just in case ......Just in case. I saved just like Oprah told me to do. Just in case....just in case......
I had all the tools needed to land that new job. I was prepared, I was ready and even excited to open a new chapter of my life even though I really loved the job I had lost.
With the background of education, work experince and life experince I had accumulated, the prospect that I would be able to 'choose' where the next chapter of my life (work) would happen was enticing. Then reality ran me over like an 18 wheeler carrying a full load, It took over a year and I was PREPARED......just like Oprah told me to be. We had never 'lived large', I had no credit card bills or car payment debt....just mortgage and utilities.
I quickly found out that I was one of a 'landslide' of applicants for every postion. I was offered jobs which I took (I am not an idiot, it quickly became clear I would not be 'cherry picking' the perfect job). All with a common theme, partime......much lower wages.....no benefits. As of today I am juggling three partime jobs (two are steady meaning I know going into each week I will get between 15 to 20 hours of work per week. The third is a per diem job, meaning when (if) they call I get a shift, all three require much more travel then my last full time job. None of these jobs are in Cumberland County. At times the travel is substantial with the per diem shifts and if you say no it lurks in the back of your mind if you say no once maybe they won't call again. It has been stressful and that is without child support to pay or the threat of being arrested looming over my head.
And I was ready, educated, confidant how hard could it be ? I said then. To live we dipped (yea I hate when people say that.....we didn't dip....we had to plunge in head first in order to keep food on the table and a roof over our head (and as I stated before we had no credit cards, no 'second mortgage' and no car payment. We paid cash for our new(er) car six years ago (Subaru Forrester with 10,000 miles on it for 12 grand....a steal)
Am I happy....no not really....I would love to rewind back to my old job. But as I have said the world as at least I knew it is gone. But while not happy, I know I am fortunate abd I realize it. I tell my sons no matter how bad your boss is, or what a jerk you co worker is......gut it out. Gut it out not because there is nothing better employment wise....there is simply NOTHING out there....nothing better and nothing crappier. Thankfully they see the path I had to travel to get the employment I currently have and have learned this lesson through me.I am glad that this happened to me then to one of them with kids to feed. I do have one nephew who is having a very hard time finding work, he is 30 (no kids, no wife).....lost his job 8 months ago when his plant shut down. clean criminal and driving records, not a drinker or drug user nor does he smoke. He is looking for any type of work, he is not afraid to get down and dirty doing labor. So if you have any leads on who might be hiring please make a post. Thank you and good night
Here are two quotes from the article:
1) Undersheriff Warren Mabey. "Working cooperatively we were successful in apprehending 15 wanted individuals during the first month of the task force's formation
2) This is another example of the great benefit of collaborative police work and the results speak for themselves," Lenahan said.
DO the results speak for themselves? Since no average apprehension rate was given for any period of time prior to these 'GIANTS' of Law Enforcement deciding to work hand in hand we have nothing to draw a comparision against (since they both have the word 'SALEM' in the name of their organizations....the common man would have thought this was happening already) If a dozen a month was the average before, then the term TASK FORCE would be kind of a stretch. If the average was 2 per month before, then you have to ask: what the heck were you guys doing all day?
Either way.....a news story that two law enforcement agencies from the same county are working in tandem now.....really shouldn't be news at all.....it is what should have been done in the first place.
Ummmm...... so thank you for doing your job.....we ummmm really appreciate it....kissses and hugz all around......to quote the late great Rodney King "can't we all just get along"......be safe and when in doubt just shoot it out.....as Forrest Gump would say "thats all I have to say about that"...........(as a matter of fact just reading an article that the 'Salems' are now 'Task Forcing' has made me want to go get a box of chocolates....and has made me feel dumber for even to have had to read about it like it is 'news')
uniforms.......sex....handcuffs.....boy on girl....kick it up a notch with some lesbian action....angry lesbians at that (they are the best ones).....I can't wait to watch this porn movie.....wait lawsuits????/lawyers?????
Darn...I got undressed and lubed up for nothing......
John it is 11:57pm at the sound of tone.......(how is that for real time for ya?)
Run........Forrest......Run (quote from the movie Forrest Gump)
The cops are sneaking up on this guy....the media is tweeting about it.......in this day an age....why doesnt the media just hire one of those airplanes that pull a banner (advertisement) at the shore requesting an interview with the 'suspect'
First I have to admit I do not know this guy at all....but this is a 'white collar charge".....he didn't shoot anyone......so I find the quote in the article by the attorney general almost too much to stomach
QUOTE: "Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa. "We will not tolerate dishonest merchants who engage in the type of crime alleged here, which is a fraud against the State of New Jersey and its honest taxpayers."
Now that might not sound bad to some of you but we are talking alot of charges here some of them second degree felonies (which I find ....over kill and stupid). Here is why I find that comment so outrageous. Here in Vineland we have a dishonest, Narcotics Lead Detective named Gami Cruz, who commited official misconduct and fraud by lying to a Superior Court Judge to secure search warrants (this is how the Cumberland County Prosecutor described him...I am using her words), his 'fraud' lead to the dismissal of over 40 cases and over 75 charges. She declined to 'charge' him stating the VPD would handle it 'internally', that was almost a year ago, Gami Cruz is still listed on the VPD web site as a member of the VPD force. (it was reported he is suspended without pay)....but his time on the force (pension time is still ticking away). He will quietly be allowed to "retire" with his pension, which will probably be reported on a friday and the story will be reported on a saturday (if at all) when no one reads the paper.
BUT we are throwing the book at this guy, for white collar crimes??????? 5 to 20 years for a paper crime? Seriously? Have we lost our minds?
If the Attorney General is so outraged and has this much time on his hands,,,,he might look into the Gami Cruz 'deal' and see that no action has been taken on this detective by the VPD, who wasted taxpayer dollars in 'searches', 'stakeouts', court time (judge,clerk, office staff etc) VPD (in manhours, overtime etc)...not to mention all the lawsuits that are steamrolling towards Vineland and Cumberland County very soon from all those people who's quality of lives were lost (jobs, housing, bail and reputations....that were lost because this Detective LIED TO A SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE TO SECURE WARRANTS!!!! Bidic is a trial about money.....how many millions will Detective Cruz end up costing us?
Yet we focus our efforts on a used car dealer?
MR Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa if you are so outraged about fraud and (I quote) "We will not tolerate dishonesty"(end quote)....concentrate your effort on this....the Cumberland County Prosecutor said she would not charge Detective Cruz because the Vineland Police would handle it by firing this Detective. The VPD has not acted on that stipulation with almost a year to do so.
Instead of over charging a used car dealer with multiple 2nd and 3rd degree crimes.....
Why not channel some of your energy regarding ""We will not tolerate dishonesty" and step in to a much more serious matter. The person who should be facing multiple 2nd degree charges (official misconduct/lieing to a superior court judge/perjury)is this Detective.
The Prosecutor did not file on the condition his department handled the situation by firing this officer(this is in her published statement). An adequate period of time for this action to take place has passed. That 'condition' has not been met.
If the State of New Jersey (Attorney Generals Office) has any backbone and really holds criminal actions against it's citizens' seriously then two things should happen. This used car dealer should be charged appropiately (the degree's of the charges do not fit the crime) and since no action has been taken by either the CCPO or the VPD as promised by the County Prosecutor the Attorney Generals Office needs to take this situation over and charge this Detective accordingly.
I think the average Citizen would agree with me when I say the public would be better served and protected if this Detective who abused his position received more prison time then a used car dealer who defaulted on a tax bill!!
You aren't a 'babe in the woods' you knew a refusal to take the test would result in a DWI charge. Given your background as a reporter and law maker if you truely did not know, thats problematic. As a legislator should know the basic laws of the state and this is a pretty basic and widely reported on topic. This police agency is in the district you represent isn't it?
Anyone who has ever read one of my posts knows that I am not a supporter of law enforcement. But even I find it hard to believe you did not know the law and that you think by being able to prove 'where you were' will show you were not drinking. It seems a silly notion even as I type it. You could have had a wawa coffee cup full of vodka and chugged it on your way to church. So where you were or where you were going will prove nothing. If you feel you were targeted well you made it pretty easy for them by not taking the test.
So even for a person like myself who believes we give law enforcement (at all levels) too much power, with no accountability to the public who employs them.....am not 'swayed' by your account of the days events.
Now.....if you had taken the test...then questioned the calibration of the instrument....which is a function of consumer affairs....a division of goverment that you are the chairman of...it would have made sense.... and you know that.....(see Paul.....ya knew thats why you didn't blew)
I think this cop just did his job (yea I know siding with police...a first for me)....you thought you could use your 'power' as an assemblyman to get out of it....but you didn't think it all the way through....(and used your position as chairman of consumer affairs....to question the calibration.....either way its bad politics)
I think Paul was just 'dazed and confused' as to which part of his power in goverment to use in overcoming charges against him.....or maybe too tipsy to realize his options.
I still haven't forgotten about this. Your statement that I am incorrect in saying "after all we bought it" is in itself incorrect. It is kind of like a circle, we pay the saleries of the people that 'bust the drug dealers' and the monies seized buys the dog. So yes 'we bought it' is a correct statement.
Also perhaps it is my fault in the way I phrased my post, but I was not making assumptions, I was asking questions. I was asking questions you are calling those questions assumptions. It seems as a general rule whenever law enforcement (or those related to them) is questioned it gets thier dander (no pun intended) up. You did make an emotional 'rebuke' as you say, so much so that you missed the part of my first post that it was my hope the dog passed peacefully of a genetic defect.
You are absolutely correct that I know nothing about a K9 and a handler....my only experience is with my own pets. I am sure there are many aspects of law enforcement I know nothing about.
That being said, not being 'insiders' does not mean we lose the right to ask questions.
I work in healthcare and there are times when a patient doesn't make it out of surgery or the outcomes are not what the family has hoped for and I am asked questions. Do those people know as much as I do about healthcare, probably not. But that does not mean they are not entitled to ask questions and get sound quality and truthful answers? Of course not, we answer whatever question they ask, truthfully. We do not get defensive about these questions.
It seems (all) Law Enforcement agencies get offended when us average Joe's ask a question on pretty much any subject regarding thier actions. They seem to forget that they serve the public, of which I am a member of.
I have been keeping an eye out for the results of the autopsy on this dog but have not seen any stories of the results.
I am sorry for your loss
Dear Jackie,
If you had actually taken the time to read what I posted (which clearly you did not), Twice (twice means two times....I thought I would give you the definition so you did not have to google it) in my post I stated quite clearly that this guy's actions, were not appropiate at all. To quote myself again (since you didn't read it or comprehend what I wrote....here are two quote's from my post)
1) "This guy handled it badly....to that there is no doubt."
2) "So do I condone what this guy did, no I do not."
I think I made myself pretty clear that this guy was totally out of line and that his actions were not "ok" as you seem to interpret my post. Your apology is already accepted.
I was adult and mature enough to realize two things. The first was the staff there (with the exception of one person who I named) are poorly trained in dealing with the public and had no interest in the position they hold. The second thing I realized is that I would do a better job in searching for employment on my own, thus eliminating the stress of dealing with the One Stop employees on a day to day basis.
So we are crystal clear I never posted he should have done what he did, or that I was in favor of his actions. What I did say is that someone reacting the way he did was no surprise to me based on my interactions with the staff there.
Also I might add on about the third or fourth day I was called downstairs to meet with a "worker' because I qualified for food stamps (which I declined). The woman I met with never once looked at me, not once. Her demeanor and person to person 'skills' was just as lacking as the people I dealt with upstairs.
I was looking for 'help' in my job search, not a handout. That is after all the 'service' they are there to provide.
So please before replying to a post that you really did not comprehend, read it several times so you truely understand what the 'author' of the post is trying to convey.
So in closing.....violence is bad in any situation......and so is the service and attitude of the One Stop Center.....
The article may be wrong as to where the outburst happened, but my comments are right on target.
In my job I have been kicked, spit on, hit and even bitten. But I cannot take it out on the next person brought in on a stretcher. These people are sooooo jaded because stressed out unemployed people who are watching thier lives fall apart and there isn't much they can do about it are rude to them. Poor babies, maybe they need a hug, or better yet quit and wake up every morning in a cold sweat knowing you are one day closer to being homeless then the day before. Then go to the One Stop and get treated like you are the scum of the earth, then they might be enlightened to how these people feel.
Marino hit the nail right on the head,
I lost my job and had to use that facility. My company lost it's largest contract which lead to the companies shut down. I have two college degrees and am also a registered nurse. I used the job search 'service' if you want to call it that for two weeks, that is all I could stomach. I have never ever been treated with such disdain and rudeness by each employee in every encounter and interaction. There was one person who I encountered who was very pleasant and helpful her name is Migdalia Santiago.
After those two weeks I knew I could not go back there for the 'service' they are supposed to supply as the job title they hold dictates. Because the thought of doing exactly what this guy did entered my mind every time I even had to speak to these employees. You are not doing me a favor when I ask you for information on a job you only give me a "job number" on, you are supposed to be supplying me with a service.
Being unemployed is stressful, combine that with a staff who is rude to it's very core only adds to the stress. The last day I was there the lady at the counter actually (after leaving me standing there like I was invisble for 20 minutes while the four of them chatted between themselves) threw my resume back at me stating she was not going to fax it to the job number company because I was over qualified.
This guy handled it badly....to that there is no doubt. But I would wager that his anger was only fueled by the way he had been treated by these employees.
The One Stop Center is a cesspool of a system that is not working, Cumberland Co has over a 20% unemployment rate. Sooner or later Trenton is going to shut this system down, and then those delightful people will find themselves in the same postion I was in at that time. I hope they are treated with the same degree of respect they have bestowed upon those they have 'served'.
So do I condone what this guy did, no I do not. Can I understand his anger and rage.....yes I can.
here is what I said
"take news reports with a grain of salt, News works and targets emotion of the comminuty. By that time this guy has been pretty much been fould guilty in the land of public opinion. Give it time ...let the dust clear....and once the facts start to rise to the top. I am sure at least some of you which change your perception of the young man charged, And remember that work"charged"....it does not mean quilty"
I see nothing wrong with that statement, but I was accused of something I did not do many years ago. (So I do have experince with this very prosecutors office) The papers had a field day...the prosecutor stalled...but when all the information in court came out. it was entirley different from what was said in the papers. Do I know anything special about this case, nope.
But I do see the papers sucking the emotion right out of the readers close to this officer, they have already convicted him. All I am saying is before we hang this guy from a tree, lets wait and see what the real 'evidence' is...radio communications, dash cams etc)....because...and I am sure you won't like reading this they just might not be the images the media has ingrained in your brain to date.
So lets take a wait and see attitude as to what they show, then make judgements based on evidence. .....seems pretty reasonable to me.
It depends on 'who' is using the word "Karma", if they are in law enforcement or corrections it has a 'payback conotation with it. Which is a thinly veiled threat.
I still say this case is far from a slam dunk, as details which are very very slow to trickle out of the prosecutors office I think we may find that alot of what we have been told is not the actual facts.
Yes an officer was killed another injured....still sad, But once passed that emotional point of this case cold hard facts still have to be pondered.
The accused's lawyer will no doubt as he should go page by page through the guidelines regarding pursuits in New Jersey. He will receive the guidebook quickly, everything else will take much longer, as the prosecutors go through and make anthing harmful to the case 'unavailible"
From the start of this case I have sensed we are hearing only one part of the story, am sure that then when a defense is defined we will get be idea of that happened night.
Clearly it has has onesided, because of emotion, and that fact the MPD is incontrol of all the evidence (dash...cams, actual communicarion between officer and the dept. etc etc)
Here is a tip from a guy who has been there, take news reports with a grain of salt, News works and targets emotion of the comminuty. By that time this guy has been pretty much been fould guilty in the land of public opinion. Give it time ...let the dust clear....and once the facts start to rise to the top. I am sure at least some of you which change your perception of the young man charged, And remember that work"charged"....it does not mean quilty
I would be willing to bet a dollar alot of these charges get tossed, downgraded as more info is released to the public on what occured that night. Again I say this is not a slam dunk for the state,it looks like it on the surface, but the only surface we have seen is the surface the MPD has allowed us to see. I am sure there are many more details to learn.
Are you kidding me...that they are going to try and hold this guys feet to the fire of this amount...here is a doozy for you....that makes what this guy did seem like picking up pennys on the side walk:
In CUMBERLAND COUNTY WE HAVE TWO "RETIRED" STATE POLICE WORKING AS DETECTIVES FOR THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE IN VIOLATION OF STATE PENSION LAWS AND QUITE A PRICE TAG!!!!!(READ CAREFULLY)
Pennypacker and Tolbolski former state police, now cumberland county prosecutors investigators
state police pensions:
On page 28 of the state police retirement manual it states quite clearly
"If you make arrangements prior to you retirement to return to the same or similar public employment as a regular employee., contract employee or leased employee or an independent contractor, the employer/employee relationship has not been completely severed. Regardless of any break in the length of employment. And you retirement will be determined to be invalid. In this case you would be required to remain an active employee under the retirement system in the new position."
Pennypacker started his job with Cumberland county two days after he retired and Tobolski started the day he retired!!!!! would they not both be guilty of making arrangements prior to retirement. One section says you have to wait 30 days.....this section (on page 28 of the handbook) states retirement is invalid if you make arraignments prior to retiring
to start that quickly they had to make arrangements prior.
This ahould make both of their pensions invalid under state law governing pensions
So we have two guys double dipping into the pension system both it seems clearly violated the pension system rules and regulation. Neither of these guys could have been 'hired' in that timeline without making arrangments prior to retirement. We are not talking about a measely 5 grand.
You are talking 70-80 grand (each per year) in retirement pensions AND we are paying them around that for the work they now perform for Cumberland County.
Since both were in violation of the pension laws governing the pension they are receiving; both should have the pensions terminated and any monies paid out should be paid back to the state.
Do I condone the situation this guy has formulated for himself....no I do not....but lets be real here for a second his is five grand, those two are one hundred fifty grand (per year). That will ad up to a million pretty quick.
Lets prioritize who we go after based on how much they are ripping us off for....I would say that Pennypacker and Tolbolski should go to the top of the list of people we are complaining about and work out way back to this guy.
I would bet a dollar both of these guys had to sign some sort of 'affidavit" stating they had comformed to all the legalities of the retirement pension laws when filing the paperwork package for retirement benefits.
Based on how quickly they became re-employed, it does not take a 'detective' to see the pension laws were violated......and dare I say it....frauduently aquired......
This fact alone should be enough for both pensions to be severed, and should be a basis for them to be fired from the positions they now occupy.
We can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to this type of pension abuse. The fact that this 5 thousand dollars is a 'news' story is laughable compared to what others are doing.
Lets see the NJ.com 'crack' news team run a story abouth these two!!!!!!(put a pretty picture in the article of them just like you did to this guy)
ummm yea that sounds like work.......
(I hope this post isn't taken down like my last 15 have.....NJ.com is starting to get on my nerves...I guess the 1st ammendment only applies them them)
Hey I am really glad I read this story tonight.......since we had these meatballs for dinner tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cut the bag right along the area where that number is supposed to be and now I can not read it.........
So if infected by Listeria.....I will post first hand how bad the symtoms are....thanks Shoprite.....
Above is a link to the guidelines for police pursuit. It is pretty interesting reading.
Unless this kid plea bargains out.....from what I read in those guidelines.....not all of these charges are a slam dunk for the prosecution of this guy. It is a real shame this officer lost his life, but after reading these guidelines, if they were not followed by an officer(s) then it could be argued they share part of the burden of the end result.
So by these charges it does seem they 'pursued' him for moving violations. Just a question for someone out there more informed then I am, do any of these fall under the guidelines that allow a 'pursuit' to occur?
I am aware that there are rules and regulations that law enforcement has to follow as to whether or not the actions justifies such a 'pursuit' (to protect them and the general public). Do any of these new charges justify a 'police pursuit'? I myself do not know thats why I am asking......
NJ.COM.....stop taking down my posts.....grrrrrrrrr

Ropivacaine Block Alone or With Perineural or Systemic Dexamethasone for Pain in Shoulder Surgery
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Pre-operative perineural injection of dexamethasone mixed with local anesthetic in peripheral nerve blockade for orthopedic surgery has been shown to prolong the length of analgesia, improve visual analog pain scores, decrease post-operative opioid use, and decrease post-operative nausea. No study has been published to determine if this effect is a result of systemic absorption of dexamethasone or is a local effect of the drug on neuronal activity at the injection site. This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study to compare pain block with (1) ropivacaine and saline plus intravenous saline vs (2) ropivacaine and dexamethasone plus intravenous saline vs (3) ropivacaine and saline plus intravenous dexamethasone. Patients will be recruited sequentially and assigned to the three groups at random in equal ratios. The hypothesis is that dexamethasone injected perineurally in combination with ropivacaine for interscalene brachial plexus block will yield longer duration of sensory blockade as compared to ropivacaine alone without intravenous or perineural dexamethasone and as compared to ropivacaine and intravenous dexamethasone. This result will suggest that the effect of dexamethasone is a result of direct neuronal activity at the injection site versus systemic absorption.

3 Whiskey Cocktail Recipes.
I have the delicious drink recipes from our Ladies Whiskey Party to share with you today! One of my favorite details from this day was the incorporation of the recipes into the event — I wrote the ingredients out on brown paper bags and tied them on whiskey bottles to match each drink so it was easy to identify each one. And because the idea of the party was all about sharing these whiskey drinks and making whiskey drinking a bit more approachable, we gave everyone a stack of recipe cards with the ingredients and instructions written out on them so they can recreate them at home. Now, onto those recipes!
- Half a lemon, cut into wedges
- 6 mint leaves
- .75 oz simple syrup
- 2 oz Buffalo Trace Bourbon
In a shaker, muddle lemon wedges with mint leaves and simple syrup. Add ice and bourbon, shake vigorously. Strain over crushed ice and garnish with a tall mint leaf.
- 2 oz Michter's Rye
- .75 oz Dolin sweet vermouth
- .25 oz Luxardo maraschino liqueur
- 2 dashes Regan's orange bitters
- Cherry garnish
Stir all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass, cherry garnish.
- 1.5 bottles Overholt Rye
- 16-18 oz fresh lemon juice
- 25 dashes bitters
- 2 cups honey spice simple syrup (go slowly to taste)
- 1 bottle inexpensive Prosecco
Combine first four ingredients and chill for several hours. Before serving add Prosecco. Serve over rocks with a twist of lemon. (To make simple syrup: 16 oz clover honey, 16 oz water, 1/4 cup mulling spices. Bring all ingredients to boil, turn off heat. Steep for 15-30 minutes. Strain the ingredients and cool the syrup.)

A New Year's Eve Fete.
It normally takes about 3 days to fully recover from New Year's Eve, right? I'm working on it — it's so hard to get back into 'reality' mode after a long holiday! Which is why I'm a little late sharing some pictures of our annual New Year's Eve bash. Having a few extra days off after Christmas gave me the time to craft some fun decorations and think up some tasty dishes and cocktails. It was a great way to kick off 2013, and I hope it sets the tone for many more fabulous parties to come this year (like, ahem, a pretty exciting wedding coming up in May). How did you celebrate the New Year?
Handmade Holidays: Festive Bottle Stoppers
I'm kicking of a new series: Handmade Holidays to share some crafty ideas for making DIY presents this year.
First up, some festive bottle stoppers! I bought plain, unfinished bottle corks in the kitchen section at Target and colored in the stopper with a silver metallic Sharpie, followed by a light brush of glue and matching silver glitter. Once they dried all you need is a drop of super glue to hold an ornament in place on top of the stopper! These took under an hour to make, and cost less than $10 to make the whole set — I think they'd look great tied to a bottle of wine for a hostess gift during the holidays!
Bar cart alternatives.
I'm in a Craigslist conundrum. The cabinet I use to store my cocktail ingredients is overflowing, which can be a good problem to have — but my multi-month search for a more permanent home to the beverage station has turned up dry.
Bar carts seem to be few and far between, so I'm starting to expand my horizons for an alternative solution. These two pictures have adorable bar areas set up on top of bookshelves and dressers and are serving as my inspiration. Aren't they chic?

Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take ergotamine and caffeine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

In the Marvel Universe Laufey is the father of Loki, but in Norse Mythology; Laufey is actually Loki's mother. Jack Kirby's design for Laufey shows him a large giant, bigger than Odin with Green and Brown body armour.Character EvolutionLaufey remained the same for many years, until Olivier Coipel redesigned him to resemble his new design of Frost Giants, now with Blue Skin and wearing less armor. J. Michael Straczynski portrayed Laufey as an abusive father.Major Story ArcsLaufey was King of the Frost GIants until he was killed in a battle against Odin. Neither Laufey or Odin knew that the battle was actually part of a plan between Loki and his younger self, which would lead to Loki being adopted by Odin.

Kreider's good fortune really started in June in Montreal, when the Rangers made the big, speedy center the 19th pick of the 2009 Entry Draft. From there he won a gold medal at the World Junior Championship, an NCAA title at Boston College and earned a chance to play with the U.S. at the World Championship in Germany.
"It was such a whirlwind year, I didn't want it to end," Kreider told NHL.com. "It was a great year, but that's behind me now; I don't want that to be the best year of my career. I want to keep going and keep doing big things."
Courtesy: Sarah E. Sheu
As great as the on-ice experience was for Kreider, he gained just as much off the ice.
"Probably the biggest thing I learned in Saskatoon was how important leadership is," he said. "I played on some teams with great leaders, but we had probably 10 or 11 leaders and you hear the old cliché, everyone can lead in their own way, but everyone did take the reins at some point and show us the way. If it wasn't one guy it was another. I came to terms with how important it is if you want to win."
Kreider continued his strong play when he got back to BC, and the freshman finished fifth on the team with 15 goals -- his final goal of the season gave the Eagles a 3-0 lead against Wisconsin in the national title game, a game they eventually won, 5-0.
After that, it was off to Germany with the U.S. for the World Championships. Despite being the youngest player on the team, Kreider had a goal and an assist in six games, while playing just over 10 minutes per game.
Just being around NHL players made a lasting impression on Kreider. He said his roommate in Germany, U.S. captain Jack Johnson, had a great influence on him.
"He isn't that much older than I am, but he really acts it," Kreider said. "He's so mature for his age, he's a world-class player, an Olympian. He had so much wisdom, so much to tell me. Also Scott Clemmensen, former BC goaltender, he was able to tell me about his time there and we really connected. He really helped me, too."
He said he learned just as much watching his teammates as he did playing with them.
"I learned so much off ice and on the ice," he said. "The professional lifestyle, how they prepare for games, how they carry themselves. On the ice there was so much I could have learned. I wish I could have kept on playing with those guys for a while."
He's taken those lessons and brought them with him to his first big event of the 2010-11 season, the USA Hockey junior camp in Lake Placid, where he's competing for a chance to help the U.S. defend its gold medal in Buffalo when the 2011 World Junior Championship is held Dec. 26 to Jan. 5, 2011.
He certainly made U.S. WJC coach Keith Allain a believer.
"The one thing that jumps out when you look at Chris is his speed, and he's got world-class speed," Allain said. "We're a team that wants to play a speed game and he certainly brings that element.
"I think he's also the type of person that learns from experiences, and not everyone does. We're going to be looking for a lot from Chris."

"It's bittersweet. I'm going to miss working with the men at station 11," said Eric Lahey.
Eric Lahey is a
"I'm looking forward to this opportunity to be able to represent all the men and women in the Fort Wayne Fire Department and lead them forward," he said.
Mayor Tom Henry is responsible for choosing leaders for the city's public safety.
"Upon learning that Chief Biggs wanted to resign and move back into the regular firehouse operation, we wanted to make sure there wasn't a lapse in command leaderships," said Henry.
Current Chief Amy Biggs unexpectedly put in her letter of resignation after just two years on the job. She has not commented why but we know that she will continue working for the department. However, Lahey, is already working on plans for the future of the department.
"We're really going to focus on training and make sure that our officers have every resource available to them in order to make sure that their firefighters are the best that they can be," said Lahey. "We have a great Fire Department, we just want to make it better. We should always try to make things better and that's what we're going to try and do."
Lahey is the third person to assume a public safety leadership position for the city this year. Rusty York was promoted to public safety director and Garry Hamilton replaced
"A new police chief and a new fire chief all within the same year shows that we are terribly concerned with public safety in our community and we want to make sure we have the very best as far as leadership," said Henry.
Lahey will be sworn into his new position on Monday June 2, 2 p.m. in

What Your Oscars' "Best Picture" Pick Says About You As A Dater
Tree Of Life
9 of 10
You are very artsy – maybe TOO artsy – the kind who finds meaning in most anything. (Even long stretches of plotless screensavers.) You appreciate the odd, the unexpected, the misunderstood, and would love to plant roots with someone who appreciates that. (Or you'd go to great lengths to stare at Brad Pitt.)

|Our History
John Livingston was born in 1897, in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He became famous in the late 20's and 30's as a race pilot in both cross country and air show pylon racing. He entered 64 races, coming in first in 41, second in 19. His Ford transcontinental and Sid Grauman trophies and awards are on display at the Waterloo terminal and the Cedar Falls Historical Society. A picture history adorns the walls of Livingston General Aviation Terminal in Waterloo.
Like Livingston Seagull, John's passion was speed and perfection - always trying to get two or three more miles per hour out of the 130 mph airplanes being developed after World War I. He was early to experiment and develop reduced-drag fairings for the wing roots, wheels and fuselage. His first "wheel pants' are in the Smithsonian Museum. John had dropped out of high school to spend his time racing and fixing motorcycles - a hobby to which he could apply and develop his natural mechanical aptitude and ability.
John had bought the first Model 110 Monocoupe NC501W made by the Veli Motor Car Co. in Moline, Illinois in august 1930 - raced it in the Chicago and Cleveland air races - won so many races that he made himself and the Monocoupe famous. He took it to Lambert Monocoupe Co. in St. Louis in 1932 and had them clip 10 feet off the wingspan to reduce drag. He also had the engine replaced with a Warner 145 horsepower - increased the speed from 160 to over 200 miles per hour. There were only seven clipped-wing models made out of a total of 771 produced. Twenty Monocoupes are still flying by owners who get together at a "fly in" on 3 year intervals at Creve Couer Missouri. Johns' original 501W is being restored with a 185 horsepower Warner by an America West captain "in memory of Johnny Livingston". Lindberg's personal Monocoupe is hanging in the terminal at Lambert Field in St. Louis.
John was a member of the "Caterpillar Club" - being forced to bail out of a Cessna experimental race plane. He was the president of the OX5 club, limited to pilots that had flown a plane powered by a 90hp OX5 WWI engine - and founder of the Waterloo Hanger of Quiet Birdmen (QBs).
He was hired in 1920 by a Waterloo businessman and his pilot to keep the OX5 90hp water-cooled V8 engine running on a WWI surplus airplane. One day, alone in a fast taxi test, he became airborne and flew around the field. He had taught himself to fly! He was hooked on flying. He accumulated six hours of solo before the owner and pilot became aware of it.
John traveled all over the country entering air races and shows acrobatics and "dead stick" spot landings gave him an opportunity to show and develop his unusual "feel" for the stick and control of the airplane. John was no daredevil. He was a risk manager, who through careful preflight and preparation reduced the risk of flight to an acceptable level. John flew Waco biplanes in his early years. He became the chief test pilot for Waco. He and his brother "Bite" were Waco and Taylor Craft distributors at one time.
After World War I, John saw the future of aviation growing rapidly out of military airplane observation and gun platforms into something useful in the public and business arena. He became the manager of Midwest Airways with instruction and charter flights out of fledging grass airfields in Fort Dodge, Waterloo Iowa, Monmouth and Aurora, Illinois. For publicity pictures he liked to be dressed in a business suit and tie.
John taught his younger brother Adrian (Bite) to fly. Bite became a "touch" pilot on his own and the business manager of the partnership. As partners they operated the Chapman Airport, a grass field 3 miles east of Waterloo in the 30's and early 40's. During World War II, they were given a contract by the Army Air Corp to organize and operate a flying school to teach preflight and solo cadet pilots, after ten hours of instruction. With fifteen instructors, they soloed over 1500 cadets in three years' time.
John suffered a heart attack in the air at age 76 while test flying an acrobatic home built Pitt Special for a friend. He landed - took five steps from the cockpit and died on the tarmac - what a way to go!
After Wright, Curtis, and Lilenthal it was John Livingston, Charles Lindbergh, Jimmy Doolittle, Roscoe Turner, Wiley Post, Amelia Ehrhardt, and others of their era, in the 20's and 30's, who made the public aware of aviation and its potential. They were the second generation of aviation pioneers for which we can all be thankful and eternally grateful.
- H.D. (Ike) Leighty
John Livingston was an inspiration for the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull - "to Johnny Livingston who has known all along what this book is all about." - Richard Bach 1970

Making New York Cheesecake for the first time EVER, any tips?
Tomorrow morning I am making a wonderful meal of desserts galore for my boyfriend because we all know the way to a mans heart wither you already own it or not is always through his stomach. I was hoping on making my famous wheat free donuts and an amazing New York style cheesecake, but sadly I have never made this cheesecake before and need loads of advice from ANYONE who has done this before so I don't mess it up and spend loads of money on cream cheese that will just get destroyed... If you could help me at all I would love it. Thanks.
Cheesecake is not as difficult as it looks. Leave plenty of extra time though- it's not something you can throw together at the last minute.
Before you start, leave out your eggs, cream cheese, etc at room temperature. The cake will be smoother.
Make sure you beat the cream cheese until it's really smooth before adding other ingredients. No lumps. It's hard to get rid of the lumps once you add other ingredients. You don't want to whip in too much air- just beat the cream cheese slowly on low until nice and creamy. Good luck!
Good luck!
re: chowser
This is a bit off topic but since you mentioned it, chowser- last weekend I made a bourbon pumpkin cheesecake that calls for a top layer of sour cream/sugar mix. The problem is that I misread the recipe and froze the pumpkin cheesecake portion (for Thanksgiving), without the sour cream mix. I didn't realize that the sour cream mix had to be baked for 10 minutes. What does baking do to the sour cream part? And now what do I do now that the pumpkin part is fully cooked and frozen? I can't very well add the sour cream mix to the top and bake, since the bottom part will be mostly frozen. Can I add the sour cream mix and NOT bake it? Sorry to threadjack but I HAVE TO KNOW so I can avoid an embarrassing T-day flop.
re: Bunny007
The baking hardens it some. I'd leave it off altogether. I really think the only reason for it is to cover cracks. Or, make some sour cream whipped cream to serve on top if you want. Something like this (although I'd add rum or bourbon to it):
re: chowser
Thanks chowser! The recipe you linked looks great- I think this solves my dilemma
re: walker
Extra wide heavy duty works well. It's worth looking for and paying the extra--much easier than folding over two sheets to make it wide enough.
re: walker
Ha! another reason to be glad most of my kitchenware is from the 1970s I guess. Ugly but trustworthy!
Mmmm, i love that. Just for clarification, can we assume you already have a recipe you know will give you a nice heavy NY cheesecake and that your question is about technique?
If the recipe calls for the cheesecake to rest in the fridge overnight, let it rest! Your patience will pay off.
Because water baths can be tricky, what I do is make a cold collar for the springform pan. I soak a good amount of paper towels and then wrap them in some heavy duty aluminum foil, which I then wrap around the pan (after I've parbaked the graham cracker crust)
Never had a cracked cake yet! Oh, and I use the CI recipe.
I'm with you on the cost of cream cheese, though! Haven't made the cake in awhile since my recipe uses 5 bricks of cheese and depending on sales, that can be almost $20 right there. Eeep.
re: Violatp
I've made cheesecake for years and have never heard of the cold collar. Can you describe it more? Do the paper towels go around the springform pan and then the aluminum holds it on?
re: chowser
I think it was sort of my own invention? I'd used Magic Strips for years to bake regular cakes but they were not quite big enough for my 10" springform.
I tear off the amount of foil I need (the circumference of the pan plus a little extra for crimping). Then I tear off twice as much paper towel and wet it thoroughly. Then I double up the paper towel so it fits on the foil and fold the foil in from top and bottom till the paper towels are completely enfolded. Then just wrap it around the pan and crimp the edges. It's not a perfect tight fit but, for my purposes, it doesn't need to be.
It sounds involved, but takes 5 minutes, really. And my cheesecake bakes perfectly evenly!
I'd had bad luck with the water bath and came up with this method as a solution.
re: Violatp
Interesting. I'm going to have to try it. Thanks.
re: Violatp
Regarding cream cheese, I have discovered that the cheaper store brands in my area actually have better ingredients than Philly brand - Philly is evidently riding on its name these days. Store brands can go as low as $1.79 around here.....
re: Violatp
NY cheesecake doesn't usually have graham crust, at least in my experience. No crust at all usually.

The Herkimer County Hunger Coalition announced the kick-off to its Gram Lorraine program on Thursday after one of its annual fundraisers.
The coalition's sixth annual benefit golf tournament took place at the Little Falls Municipal Golf Course on Sept. 29. The event raised $2,000, which will go toward the purchase of winter coats for deserving students at Benton Hall Academy through the coalition's Gram Lorraine program.
Dave Petkovsek, tournament director, thanked Little Falls Golf Course manager Dan Pawluk and his crew on Thursday during a meeting at Benton Hall Academy for "having the course in great condition and for the feed." Petkovsek also thanked Kira Andrilla and Devin McDonald for their assistance.
The benefit golf tournament was conducted in memory of Pvt. First Class Theodore Glende, from Rochester, who is on the Fallen Star Memorial.
"It helps a great deal with parents and children in this area," said Pam Munger, the Little Falls program coordinator and a Benton Hall Academy teacher. "It's a relief looking at them on the playground, knowing they are dressed warmly."
Benton Hall Academy Principal Joe Long thanked everyone for their involvement with the golf tournament. "If all you folks didn't do it, it would be a cold winter for a lot of kids," he said. "We got great kids here. They're certainly appreciative of it."
Ray Lenarcic, coalition founder, said on Thursday during the meeting the Gram Lorraine Children's Christmas Stimulus Program is currently under way. He said coordinators at the participating school districts are working to identify recipients and to solicit sponsors.
Over the past three years, Gram Lorraine has helped an average of 1,000 children every year, with each receiving a minimum of four items of clothing and a toy, book or game of their choice.
This year, Gram Lorraine has a slightly different name to include the word "stimulus."
"This program is a stimulus in many ways," said Kay Lenarcic, Mohawk coordinator. "It stimulates feelings of joy among the children on Christmas morning. It stimulates feelings of satisfaction among the sponsors as they shop, knowing they've guaranteed children in need a semblance of Christmas, and by pouring thousands of dollars into it, it stimulates the valley economy."
The program is currently welcoming sponsors. Those interested can call 866-7765.
Participating schools include Benton Hall Academy in Little Falls, Harry M. Fisher Elementary School in Mohawk, Frankfort-Schuyler Elementary School, Poland Elementary School and Barringer Road and Remington elementary schools in Ilion.
Also, the coalition has joined with the American Red Cross of the Mohawk Valley and created a fire prevention and safety coloring book. It includes Roscoe The Red Cross Raccoon and Herbie the Hunger Coalition Bunny, along with their half-and-half friends, such as Bev the Birdle (half bird and half turtle). The book is being distributed to second-graders throughout Herkimer County, so they can learn about fire prevention and safety. Children are able to participate in a half-and-half contest, where they can come up with their own half-and-half animal. First, second and third place winners will receive a plaque and 10 honorable mentions will receive a certificate.
Page 2 of 2 - "We want to congratulate the area fire departments for their efforts to teach our children about fire prevention and safety," said Ray Lenarcic. "We implore teachers to reinforce the aforementioned efforts by referring weekly to each month's fire prevention tip (October: Check your smoke detectors)."
The book was illustrated by Ray Lenarcic, Benton Hall Academy Principal Joe Long and Tim Graf. The text is by Kelly Brown, the Red Cross chapter's emergency services manager; Devin McDonald and Logan Crouse. The coloring book release coincides with National Fire Prevention Week, which was observed this year from Oct. 7 to 13. Ray Lenarcic said the books are donated in memory of the six McLeod children who died in a Little Falls fire in 1991.
Anyone interested in obtaining a coloring book can call 866-2890.

Aw, Kris Humphries. Now we feel sort of terrible for some of the hilariously mean things we said about you. Last week we were laughing cruelly right alongside Kim Kardashian after hearing that your new ex-girlfriend Myla Sinanaj was allegedly pregnant (though Kim probably didn't accidentally spray her monitor with Arby's when she started guffawing about it). Turns out? We were all enjoying our schadenfreude a little prematurely. "Uhhh ooooo Loook No babyy bump! #Shocker yes I'm a thick curvy girl *All natural I'm comfortable in my skin," Sinanaj tweeted yesterday, in addition to photographic evidence of her complete lack of a baby bump. So, unless Myla can suck it in harder than anyone has ever sucked it in…we're pretty sure Kris is off the hook on this one.
As if that wasn't enough for us to start feeling Humphries' pain, RadarOnline reports that during their marriage, Kim would all but shove her life partner off the red carpet in order to get herself a good photo opp. "Kris plans on testifying at the upcoming divorce trial that Kim would often tell him to get out of the shot when photographers would descend upon them," their source claims. "Kim would complain that because of Kris' height, he was blocking the photographers clear shot of her. Kim would get very upset if he didn't move quickly enough." Yeah, that sounds…incredibly plausible. Incredibly plausible and mean. Well, we guess we misjudged you, Humphries, and for that we're….oh, wait, there's still all that weird stuff about trying to silence Myla after your break-up. Plus how you acted on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Plus a bunch of other unpleasantness that will undoubtedly come out during the divorce aaaaaaaand now we're ready to laugh again! Thank goodness! It's the only thing that makes us feel alive.
