The Stig Goes Down Under
Some say that he loves the smell of kangaroo meat slowly being barbequed and that he has a pet koala bear named Francis Hummingbub... all we know is he's called the Stig.
Petrol heads and fans of the Top Gear television in the land down under are preparing for an adrenaline fuelled experience next month as Top Gear Live is set to wow and inspire onlookers with a special Festival in February. The jewel in the shows crown will be a "first-ever stunt" performed by non-other than the mysterious and legendary Top Gear racing driver, Stig.
In conjunction with the show Bridgestone are doing their very own hands-on stunt which will give some "lucky Top Gear Live fans a rare opportunity to jump in the driver's seat for some one-on-one stunt training, including ramp-to-ramp jumps and 360-degree spins" according to a Bridgestone statement. To be one of the lucky few, the wannabe stunt drivers will have to visit a Bridgestone booth at the event and fill out a form. Before each show takes place a draw will take place to choose the lucky driver.
When the Top Gear Live team arrives they will be fully equipped with 100 cars and 150 sets of tyres ready for eight shows in half as many days.
Early reports are indicating that the "first-ever stunt" to be performed by the Stig will involve an indoor loop-the-loop track and a specially modified dune buggy.

Myron Piatek is a 14-year veteran of IHRA drag racing. Though his 2013 season didn't go as well as planned due to an unusual rash of mechanical problems, as well as some personal distractions, he finished fifth in the stock division. In previous years, he consistently finished in the top 10 and typically finished races as the winner or runner-up. In 2006, Piatek won his first IHRA World Championship in the stock class. Now that the 2013 IHRA season has concluded, AMSOIL Racing had a chance to ask Piatek a few questions. AMSOIL Racing: What was your biggest goal for 2013? Piatek: Since 2006, my main goal has been to win a second IHRA World Championship in the stock class. The highlights of 2013 included a win and runner-up at the local SSSSA (Southern Stock/Super Stock Association), which led to my repeat championship in that series. AMSOIL Racing: You started racing in IRHA events back in 1999. What has kept you in the racing circuit for so long? What do you love about drag racing?
Piatek: I've been fortunate to have remained competitive over the years, so my success has helped finance my activities. The product and service support I get from a variety of sponsors, including AMSOIL, also eases the financial burden. I love the sport, the people, competition and the constant challenge to keep the car in top mechanical shape and myself in top physical and mental condition so I can remain competitive in a sport where races are often decided by hundredths – or even thousandths – of a second! I love to tinker and experiment, trying to make the car faster, more consistent and predictable within the strict rules. AMSOIL Racing: You've consistently finished in the top 10 in IHRA events, and frequently come away with wins and second-place finishes. How does it feel to be such a successful drag racer? Piatek: I guess I have to say that I've been blessed with talents and capabilities that lend themselves to helping me be competitive in the sport of drag racing. But it's a team effort. I'm fortunate to be associated with sponsors whose products I can rely on to enhance my competitiveness and the reliability of my race car. I'm thrilled that I can race with and against people that I had only read about or watched before switching from local bracket racing to the Stock class in the IHRA. It's also just plain fun, even with the time and work involved. But with the level of competition, nothing can be taken for granted. Anyone can be beaten by anyone, anytime and anywhere. AMSOIL Racing: When did you start using AMSOIL products in your 1975 Dodge Dart Sport? How did you learn about AMSOIL?
Piatek: I had heard about AMSOIL before I started using it in 1999, which is when I joined IHRA and began racing in the stock class. It was my engine builder who encouraged me to talk to his Dealer and to try AMSOIL products because of the wear and performance benefits he had seen when comparing engines used by AMSOIL users vs. others.
AMSOIL Racing: You had another impressive first-place finish and won the SSSSA championship in early November at the SSSSA Halloween Classic in Lakeland, Fla., even though your car gave you some problems. How does it feel to win the championship for the second year in a row? Piatek: Naturally, I was very happy to have done well enough earlier in the year to have a substantial points lead going into the last event. But I was a nervous wreck having to sit on the sidelines after a first-round loss. The #2 racer could have passed me in points and won the event. Fortunately, he lost in the third round out of the five it took to win. It was frustrating that the situation was out of my control that day, but I was relieved and very happy with the end result. AMSOIL Racing: What was it like to be named IHRA's Sportsman of the Year in 2011? Piatek: That blew me away when it was announced. I was at the ceremonies held right after the final event wondering who they were talking about as they led up to the announcement. Some things said could have applied to me, but there were many other racers that they could have been talking about who were deserving of the award. I must have stammered, "What do I say?" a dozen times after I realized I was supposed to give a little speech. AMSOIL Racing: Can you talk about your status as a stock world-record holder? Piatek: It provides a great sense of accomplishment to attempt and set a record in elapsed time and miles per hour in eighth- or quarter-mile races. The requirement to submit to a post-race engine teardown proves that the achievement is accomplished within the rules. The engine is partially taken apart and various measurements are taken by IHRA inspectors to ensure it was built within the set specifications and rules. The rest of the car is also inspected. It's a tribute to the driver, engine builder and product manufacturers associated with the accomplishment.
Records can be broken by others or they expire after two years, as mine did. I did not set any new records in 2013. I will have to wait and see if the opportunity to attempt it is feasible in 2014.
Piatek plans to put together a combination for the stock class in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). The IHRA allows respective factory-spec crate engines to be used as a substitute for the original engine option; NHRA only allows engines that were originally available in a particular year and model. Though the project has been stalled, Piatek has been looking for an affordable NHRA-legal car to purchase. "This would not only give me more opportunities to race," Piatek said, "but it would provide additional exposure in more markets for my sponsors."
Look for Piatek in 2014 when he will continue to race for the top spots in the IHRA series and work to meet his long-sought goal to capture another IHRA World Championship. Behind the Wheel of Piatek's 1975 Dodge Dart Sport

Blake played the tough talking and quick moving detective from 1975 through 1978. Tony Baretta presumably worked in Newark, New Jersey, solving crimes with the help of his pet cockatoo Fred. Baretta tried to look and act like the average man in the street and he would put on various disguises to hide his identity. Blake had a thick New Jersey accent and liked to spin catch phrases like "Dat's de name of dat tune" when he solved a crime. Blake may have put a fresh enough spin on the role of police detective to win the 1975 best actor award in a drama, but his acting soon became flat and repetitive.
Jack Albertson, Chico and the Man
Albertson starred opposite the late Freddie Prinze in this series and won the 1976 best actor award in a comedy, but it was a strange decision. Prinze was the star of the show and the Hispanic comic carried it every week. Nevertheless, voters decided to honor Albertson, who had earned great reviews for his roles in films like The Poseidon Adventure, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and The Subject Was Roses. Albertson played tired, old Ed Brown in the series, and it was a role that Albertson played realistically.
John Ritter, Three's Company
Ritter was a nice guy and a decent actor. But was he really Emmy Award material while playing Jack Tripper in the dreadful series Three's Company? Absolutely not. Ritter had a very successful career and was starring in Eight Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter before suddenly passing away in 2003. However, the Three's Company character he portrayed was predictable and lacked an edge. Giving him the 1984 Emmy for best comedy actor was a questionable decision.
Kelsey Grammer,
Grammer perfected the role of pompous Dr. Frasier Crane on Cheers and his own spinoff series Frasier. Grammer did a fine job of presenting Crane as a windbag with a sense of humor, but his portrayal was predictable. Crane would always make some pie-in-the-sky pronouncement that he could not prove and by the end of the show he was a whining schoolboy with a series of lame excuses. Did that make him worthy of the 1998 best actor award in a comedy? No way.
Michael Chiklis, The Shield
Chiklis the 2002 award for best actor in a drama series. Considering that the 2000, 2001 and 2003 Emmy awards went to James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano in the Sopranos, it makes it hard to understand how Chiklis could have stolen the honor in 2002. Chiklis was a modern version of Robert Blake's Baretta and did not compare with the legendary Gandolfini's Soprano character.

So, for personal / health reasons I've been having problems getting back into school, which of course is another story all together but I would really like to begin applying for receptionist jobs. I'm 19 and I was a personal shopper at Toys R Us for a few months last year which was in essence a receptionist job except the clients were mine as well. (Wasn't fired or anything, it was a seasonal job.) At the moment I'm working at Gap and it's pretty great but being a receptionist is something I would truly enjoy and really involves using my best qualities.
If it's not obvious already, my issue is experience. I've been doing research but getting mixed messages. People who work as or have been receptionists say much of it is learned on the job and you don't need much, if any experience to be one. The job openings I've looked at list atleast one to two years of prior experience as a requirement. I suppose I could just start applying and try my luck, but I'd like to be informed beforehand. I'm also curious to know if there any classes I should look into taking to help my chances.

I think you should go for it! I worked as a receptionist in a law firm when I was 20. First, you should make sure you can type a decent amount of words per minute. Also, make sure you understand the programs in Microsoft Office 2007(most office jobs require you understand these programs). There are free online tutorials if you go to the Microsoft Office website. You can also download a free copy of Microsoft office and have access for 90 days. At the end of 90 days, you don't have to buy it: office.microsoft.com/en-us/?CTT=97
When you compose your cover letter and resume for a receptionist job, make sure you put down all of the experience you've had that might transfer: answering phones, computer work, the computer programs you know, interacting with customers, having a friendly attitude, being a people person and team player.
Make sure you wear a nice, contemporary skirt or pant suit to your interview. Buy something that is fashionable, but simple(no ugly old fashioned, outdated things and nothing over the top). Make sure you hair is perfectly styled and your makeup is nicely done but not flashy. Receptionists make the first impression of the company on all clients that walk through the door. They always need to look their best.
My best advice to you is don't give up! It might be hard to find a receptionist job with the way the economy is, but you're young and you have time. I hope this helps! Best of luck in your job search! Also, I see you're having problems getting back into school. I don't know what they are, but you could always eventually try a community college(you will take a placement test and everyone is allowed to attend regardless of their high school grades) and take part-time classes. You can even take them one a time in the morning, afternoon or evening depending on your schedule. Again, you have plenty of time. Just making a suggestion. :)

Thanks so much! I didn't expect a reply so soon. Luckily I have Microsoft Office on my laptop already and I do have experience with phones and paperwork and dealing with all kinds of clients. I'll definately have to check out those tutorials to brush up my skills. I have no idea what my typing speed is though...
I was thinking about doing just that with a community college and then transfer. Thanks for the advice. :)

The pasta fagioli soup from this place is the best I have ever had. The pizza is great. Pasta dishes I would say are so-so.
Posted by casandra on 06/29/2009
i used to live in this area and this place one of our pizza shop that we couldn't be without, i was there couple days ago and not good, counter guy was rudeeee, pizza is just ok, sorry for you guys you had something good, that is why it is empty now, i was waiting on line to get slice, i will go back my old thick crust slice
Posted by dataking on 06/08/2009
People need to relax with the best Pizza in NYC. Maybe if your from freakin Idaho or California or wherever and this is the best Pizza YOU Have had. This is not authentic NYC pizza. Yes they use Fresh Mozeralla. That don't make it good. The crust is straight cardboard. Someone needs to tell it like it is. Also you don't need one to make great Pizza but that aint a real Brick Oven either...and they trying to sell it to you as such.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/16/2009
The pizza is good here. But the people the work here make it unpleasant. The counter-staff are totally unfriendly. They clearly don't care about customers' having a good experience and getting there needs met. What they do care about is taking our money and making sure we leave ASAP.
Posted by PizzaTastacular on 03/26/2008
This place is great. Don't read these reviews and then not order the pizza. That would just be ignorant. Who cares about whether the chicken parm is good, don't go here for that. Everyone agrees this pizza is super tasty. Note, it is brick oven style so if you are looking for classic za go elsewhere. Also, if you eat it there its even better than delivery. I recommend asking for it well done so its crispy.
Posted by LDW on 03/03/2008
I ordered chicken parm and got one small piece of a very thin and rubbery chicken cutlet with little cheese. Might be safe to just stick to the pizza at this place if it is as good as people say.

- A comparison of spike time prediction and receptive field mapping with point process generalized linear models, Wiener-Voltera kernels, and spike-triggered averaging methods (2009)
- Poster presentation: Characterizing neuronal encoding is essential for understanding information processing in the brain. Three methods are commonly used to characterize the relationship between neural spiking activity and the features of putative stimuli. These methods include: Wiener-Volterra kernel methods (WVK), the spike-triggered average (STA), and more recently, the point process generalized linear model (GLM). We compared the performance of these three approaches in estimating receptive field properties and orientation tuning of 251 V1 neurons recorded from 2 monkeys during a fixation period in response to a moving bar. The GLM consisted of two formulations of the conditional intensity function for a point process characterization of the spiking activity: one with a stimulus only component and one with the stimulus and spike history. We fit the GLMs by maximum likelihood using GLMfit in Matlab. Goodness-of-fit was assessed using cross-validation with Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) tests based on the time-rescaling theorem to evaluate the accuracy with which each model predicts the spiking activity of individual neurons and for each movement direction (4016 models in total, for 251 neurons and 16 different directions). The GLMs that considered spike history of up to 35 ms, accurately predicted neuronal spiking activity (95% confidence intervals for KS test) with a performance of 97.0% (3895/4016) for the training data, and 96.5% (3876/4016) for the test data. If spike history was not considered, performance dropped to 73,1% in the training and 71.3% in the testing data. In contrast, the WVF and the STA predicted spiking accurately for 24.2% and 44.5% of the test data examples respectively. The receptive field size estimates obtained from the GLM (with and without history), WVF and STA were comparable. Relative to the GLM orientation tuning was underestimated on average by a factor of 0.45 by the WVF and the STA. The main reason for using the STA and WVF approaches is their apparent simplicity. However, our analyses suggest that more accurate spike prediction as well as more credible estimates of receptive field size and orientation tuning can be computed easily using GLMs implemented in Matlab with standard functions such as GLMfit.
- HPLC analysis and purification of peptides (2007)
- High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has proved extremely versatile over the past 25 yr for the isolation and punfication of peptides varying widely in their sources, quantity and complexity. This article covers the major modes of HPLC utilized for peptides (size-exclusion, ion-exchange, and reversed-phase), as well as demonstrating the potential of a novel mixed-mode hydrophilic interaction/cation-exchange approach developed in this laboratory. In addition to the value of these HPLC modes for peptide separations, the value of various HPLC techniques for structural characterization of peptides and proteins will be addressed, e.g., assessment of oligomerization state of peptideslproteins by sizeexclusion chromatography and monitoring the hydrophilicitykydrophobicity of amphipathic cr-helical peptides, a vital precursor Tor the development of novel antimicrobial peptides. The value of capillary electrophoresis for peptide separations is also demonstrated. Preparative reversed-phase chromatography purification protocols for sample loads of up to 200 mg on analytical columns and instrumentation are introduced for both peptides and recombinant proteins. Key Words: Peptides; proteins; size-exclusion chromatography (SEC); anion-exchange chromatography (AEX); cation-exchange chromatography (CEX); mixed-mode hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HIL1C)/cation-exchange chromatography (CEX); reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC); preparative RP-HPLC of peptides and proteins; amino acid side-chain hydrophilicitylhydrophobicity coefficients; amino acid U-helical propensity values; amino acid side-chain stability coefficients

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27, 2005 The climate at the U.S. military service academies regarding gender harassment and sexual assault has improved, a report commissioned by the Defense Department has found.
The "Service Academy 2005 Sexual Harassment and Assault Survey" Report indicates that training given to Air Force cadets to help them identify and report sexual harassment or assault is helping to reduce those types of incidents, Dr. Anita R. Lancaster, assistant director of the Defense Manpower Data Center, said Dec. 22. The DMDC conducted the congressionally mandated survey.
The survey was conducted between June 2004 and April 2005 and polled 2,033 women and 3,269 men attending the Air Force Academy, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.; and the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.
Lancaster said data gathered from Air Force cadets shows lower incident rates of sexual coercion (rape), sexual harassment, and overall sexist behavior than reported by students at the other two service schools.
She attributed this difference to the Air Force Academy's emphasis on providing prevention training so students can recognize and report sexual harassment or sex-related assaults. The Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colo., was rocked three years ago by a spate of student allegations of gender harassment and sexual assault.
"I would assume it's related to the fact that the Air Force began focusing on this issue in 2002," Lancaster said, "and we've had three years worth of efforts that we're assessing here."
The survey said nearly all students polled at all of the service academies have received training on identifying or reporting sexual assault, and 78 to 88 percent of students polled at the three academies believed their training has helped to reduce sexual harassment and assault. Progress also is indicated by percentages of cadets and midshipmen who indicated sexual harassment (62 percent) and sexual assault (65 percent) have become less of a problem since they entered the academy, according to the survey report.
The sexual assault rates reported by the survey at the three service academies (5 percent of women and 1 percent of men) are similar to findings of percentages of sexual assaults experienced for both the active duty military and reserve populations, and with civilian populations of college age.
"Across all of the academies, it's very clear that the cadets and the midshipmen are getting good training," Lancaster said, "and that they know how to do these critical things that involve sexual assault or sexual harassment."
Lancaster said the three service academies remain focused on ensuring that cadets and midshipmen are trained how to identify and respond to sexual harassment or assault. "There's no doubt, according to the survey results, that they are paying attention to this issue," Lancaster said.
During the 2005 academic year, the academies expanded and enhanced programs to prevent sexual harassment and assault, improve care for victims and increase system accountability, according to a DoD news release. They also began implementation of a new, comprehensive anti-sexual-assault policy, increased training to include staff and faculty, and integrated the military preparatory schools into the department's sexual harassment and sexual assault training programs.
"The survey of cadets and midshipmen builds on the earlier work of the (DoD) inspector general, but gives us estimates that are formed in the same way as those for the force as a whole," David S.C. Chu, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, noted in a statement in the release.
"We are reviewing the findings carefully," Chu said in the statement, "and examining our policies, programs, and leadership efforts to determine how incidents of harassment and assault can be prevented and to ensure we respond effectively if they do occur."
A separate DoD-sponsored survey on sexual harassment and assault in the reserve components also was recently released.

Taipan Resources has two exploration areas in Kenya
Taipan Resources acquired the assets of Lion Petroleum Corp through a formal amalgamation and in conjunction with an $11.5 million financing that closed on July 17th, 2012. Through this amalgamation, Taipan acquired exploration acreage in Block 1 and Block 2B in the northeast of Kenya. The blocks - post partial relinquishment - now cover a total area of 27,711 square kilometres.
Block 2B
Taipan holds a 30% equity interest in Block 2B and is the Operator. The Block covers an area of 5,458 square kilometres is located at the most southeasterly extension of the NW-SE trending Anza Basin, near the juncture with both the Mandera-Lugh and Mochesa Basins. The Block contains both Tertiary and Cretaceous plays. The Tertiary plays are analogous to the Tullow Oil plc and Africa Oil Corporation Ngamia, Twiga, Etuko,Ekales, Agete, Amosing and Ewoi discoveries located in the main Tertiary rift to the west. The Cretaceous plays are a potential extension of the Sudanese oil-productive Melut and Muglad Basins.
The NI 51-101 Resource report recently completed by Sproule Associates Limited concludes that Block 2B has mean un-risked prospective resources of 717 million barrels oil equivalent within the 19 exploration leads identified thus far. Taipan has acquired 636 kilometres of 2D seismic data and 12,175 kilometres of Full Tensor Gravity data over the block. Taipan through its wholly owned subsidiary, Lion Petroleum Corporation, signed a farm-in agreement with Premier Oil of the UK on the 3rd of October for a gross investment of $30.5 million.
Block 1
Taipan holds a 20% interest in Block 1 and Afren is the Operator. The block covers an area of 22,711 square kilometres and lies in northeast Kenya, bordering Somalia and Ethiopia. The presence of an active petroleum system in the area is clearly demonstrated by the Tarbaj oil seep located on the southwest portion of Block 1. The northern portion of Block 1 is an extension of the Ogaden Basin that in Ethiopia, contains approximately 4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas resources. The prospective sections in Block 1 are expected to be oil prone as demonstrated by the Genale oil seep and the El Kuran light oil discovery in Ethiopia. Based on current data, the partners estimate gross prospective resources on Block 1 to be 715 million barrels of oil equivalent. Lion Petroleum was awarded this block in 2007 and EAX, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Afren, became a farm-in partner in January 2009.

Thank god for broke ass boys and huge college expenses. Their hard times bring us hard cocks. We hand out the cash and you enjoy the action.
Donovan moves to the couch and Landon follows him climbing on top of him and sliding that dick deep into his ass. He rides that hard cock like a wild cowboy as it bucks him back and forth making him moan in pleasure. The next thing I know Landon is standing up jerking his cock as Donovan waits for him to explode his white magic all over his face, and it doesn't take long and Donovan tries to eat it all up. Then Landon continues to pump his hard cock while Donovan jerks on his own hard cock until it explodes that sticky cum everywhere. He says it was one of the hottest sexual experiences he has ever had, I hope his boyfriend doesn't hear that!

A State Law Enforcement Division investigation of the York Police Department centers around the "use of force" by police, including Chief Andy Robinson, city officials said in a statement released Thursday.
City Manager Charlie Helms said he hoped Thursday's statement would clear up "recent rumors and misinformation" that have surfaced about the investigation. The probe became public Monday when The Herald reported about it on heraldonline.com.
Until Thursday, city administrators, including Helms and Robinson, refused to discuss the investigation. But the statement did not give details about the "use of force" incident, including where and when it happened and whether anyone was injured.
After Helms released the statement, York Mayor Eddie Lee called for more "transparancy" about the case. There is a video of the incident, Lee said, and he hopes local law enforcement officials or SLED will release it to the public.
Helms, in his statement, said SLED was asked to investigate after he and others were "notified of an arrest incident (that) involved use of force by York Police Department personnel."
Typically, the department would conduct an internal review if questions arise about officers' use of force, Helms said. But, police department policies and procedures do not specify "review protocols" involving the police chief.
City leaders contacted SLED –– an "independent and impartial entity" – to investigate, Helms said.
"Had this incident involved any York police officer other than the police chief, the matter would have been reviewed according to York Police Department policy."
Helms said the city would not make any further statement until the investigation is finished.
Robinson did not return phone calls from The Herald on Thursday. Robinson has led the York Police Department since 2011.
SLED would not release further information on Thursday about the probe because it's "open and ongoing," said spokesman Thom Berry, adding that no timeframe has been set for finishing the investigation.
York community needs 'transparency'
Lee said he does not agree with Helms' statement that rumors and misinformation had been circulating about the investigation.
"I think it's genuine concern by the public," Lee said. "There needs to be complete transparency about this matter....The citizens of York are the taxpayers and the residents. They deserve that transparency...complete transparency."
Councilman Ed Brown echoed Lee's comments, saying the investigation "involves city employees...as members of the council, we should have the right to see (the video)."
Brown said he learned of the investigation from Helms this week. He added city officials said they "didn't think there would be much to it."
The City Council needs more information about the incident, Brown said, to know "was it something handled out of hand (or) was it excessive use of force."
York City Councilman Bill Miller said he had not seen a video of the incident. He declined to comment, saying the investigation is in SLED's hands, and "let's just leave it like that."
Councilman Michael Fuesser said he could not comment until the investigation is over.
Councilman John Shiflet said he does not advocate for the release of an incident video while an investigation is ongoing –– even to himself or his fellow council members.
"I don't think it's our responsibility at this point," Shiflet said. "If the investigation turned up problems and the council needed to weigh in, it would be our responsibility to look at it."
Shiflet said he has not seen a video and does not know when the use of force incident involving Robinson occurred.
"I have not had any clarification on that," he said. "I really haven't asked, quite frankly. The fact that there was a question (of police behavior) was more of my concern than when the incident actually happened."

"City Administration was notified of an arrest incident that involved use of force by York Police Department personnel. Generally, the police department would review and investigate the incident per Department Policy and Procedures. Due to the fact that this particular incident involved the police chief, and the fact that the police department's Policy and Procedures do not provide for use of force review protocols involving the police chief, City Administration made the decision to contact an independent and impartial entity (the State Law Enforcement Division) to review this incident.
City Administration further decided to allow SLED to conduct its investigation completely without interference or influence by the City in any way; therefore, the City determined that the best way to achieve this was to refrain from commenting on the matter until the investigation is completed. Had this incident involved any York police officer other than the police chief, the matter would have been reviewed according to York Police Department Policy.
Due to the recent rumors and misinformation that have surfaced concerning this matter, the City of York has decided that it is in the best interest of the City to provide this summary of the event in an effort to prevent further speculation and distortion of the facts. No further statement will be made until this matter is concluded."

I am having a BLAST with my new lifestyle!! Finding unique recipes...my new motto is...If it aint pretty i aint eatin it!!! I've been trying to find the most colorful foods and serving myself like a princess on the china, folding my napkin just so...putting parsley on my plate. I'm really having fun with it. I'm trying to think of dieting as a positive and not a negative...and its working.
For me success is achieving self-control, defeating procrastination and feeling motivated and passionate about my life and work.
In order to get 8 glasses a day I add a few slices of apple or cucumber or sprigs of mint to my water. It helps to keep me interested in the water instead of getting bored of the taste. I also drink it through a straw which helps me drink more, faster without realizing. Get lemon wedges at restaurants instead of soda or iced tea and avoid the packets of flavor since there is a lot of added sugar. Keep it natural and experiment!274
Do something creative. It feels good, takes your mind off food and diet. It makes you feel accomplished. It is a great release of tension. It gives you something to focus on. Music. Art. Writing. What ever you can be creative with.
