David Wilkerson Predicts Mayhem Will Soon be in the Streets of NYC.
AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE — EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US. For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires — such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.Then at the end he wrote:
There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting — including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God's wrath.
Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose.Wait just a minute! Why pick on major cities here? Why not some small towns instead? And doesn't this already describe certain streets in NYC anyway? Besides, why are preachers like him so interested in a doom and gloom message? Is it that they are secretly upset at Americans and want them to suffer and die? Is it to raise money? Is there some correlation with a rise in gifts when the message is one of doom and gloom?
But how can we hold Wilkerson's face to the floor on this prediction? Is it too vague to do so? The subtitle says that "An Earth-Shattering Calamity Is About To Happen." Earth shattering? I'm sure we would all recognize this if it happened, right? Is the time limit for the prediction too vague? Why is this an "urgent" message if the events are not to happen for another year? What does the word "urgent" in "urgent message" mean? And if it does not happen in Wilkerson's lifetime will the Christian community rise up as one and denouce him as a false prophet?
Ha, ha. I know the answers. This would be sad if it weren't so damn funny. As far as I know if we just laugh hard enough at him we may find Wilkerson and some members of his church secretly trying to start these fires and looting themselves just to get the ball rolling!

Josh attended the Venice 2012 Vintage Motorcycle gathering. He says it was a madhouse and hot as hell.
A sea of bikes, I know which bike I am partial to!
We have a couple of sets of carbs that Josh is going to rebuild, here is a picture of the best of the two, which is not saying much, he is going to have them vaporblasted and try to get them looking good and then he will completely rebuild them.
PS: Bill has confirmed the tins have been received and the bodywork and the paint will be applied!
Josh found a cool photograph and shared on his blog,
Crazy and stupid, this is how Indian Larry died, and he had been doing it for decades, but cool picture none the less.

the photo and corresponding video are from the blitz motorcycle dudes in france
Josh's wife was gone for the evening, so what did he do, what any good restorer would, he took advantage and brought the build onto the kitchen table, she would kill him!
We had a couple sets of carbs and this is the best of the two, stock BING carbs, I am going to buy the rebuild kit for them. Josh used the Sharpertek Ultrasonic Cleaner I gave to him some months ago, it does a great job, he said the water in the tank was like mud when he was done, a little Simple Green and water is all that you need. You see my company has been selling ultrasonics for over a decade now, how and the hell do you think I pay for this fiasco in the first place? Definately not with my good looks.
So here is to all those guys that go behind their wives backs and restore a vehicle or bike in the house!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Taking them apart.
This is a 1.6 Gallon heated unit by Sharpertek.
Always use a basket with any ultrasonic, if you just throw parts on the inside it will degrade your transducers over time, that is why you never and I mean never buy a used ultrasonic tank, trust me on this one.
By "cheating" using ultrasound, Josh has deprived himself of the joys of using Simple Green and several Costco-large boxes of Q-tips to "properly" clean these things!
I do, however, applaud him for sneaking into the house and using the kitchen table as a work-surface. . .that said, this seemingly innocent step can act as a Gateway Drug to parking the machine in the living room, which sets foot on the tragic path leading straight back to the single life.
If this ultrasonic "cheating" turns you off. . . be advised that you can BOIL carb bodies in water to clean them. I bought a large pan at Goodwill for the purpose, and use my (outdoor) electric grill. About 20-30 mins usually does it. [For you Southerners, use that deep-fat turkey-fryer! (kidding)]
See the above caution for how to remain in a stable relationship. . .and don't use the stovetop for the heat source. Unless SWMBO has anosmia, she is not going to enjoy eau de dirty carburetor, and you'll be out on your ass.

Automated cable assembly creation
The investment in a new automated cable assembly line enables IMS Connector Systems to offer its customers shorter delivery times, highest product quality as well as a very high process reliability in making RF cable assemblies.
The new line proceeds very precisely cutting, striping, crimping, tin-plating and assembling of center contacts. Even the crimping of cables with wide cross section is of highest and constant crimping quality. Cutting and stripping of very thin cables, which is very difficult and imprecise with manual assembling in general, is now reliable and accurate. In best case the cable assembly time can be reduced by 80 %, which have a positive effect on the delivery time.
The line is capable for all flexible wire cables from 0,14 mm² to 6 mm² as well as for all standard RF cables from RG 178 to RG 142. The possible cable lengths are 150-5.000 mm. For automatic assembling of center contacts, all reeled center contacts are suitable, which accords to the current trend.
IMS CS's customers receive RF connectors, cables and state of the art assembling from one source.

Date Climbed: Oct 13, 2011
|Weather was overcast all day with a 20% chance of rain by the weather stations, but at 2 pm it started raining. Anyways the bridge is still out at the creek and you have to ford it. Depth today was around 2 feet and was around 30 degrees. Along the trail only one tree was down. It was easy to get around and caused no problems.

|With Annie from the PCT. Quick and easy one to a neat pile of rocks. Too bad they put concrete down in spots to make it easy or it could have been a fun scramble. Could see 5 major Cascade peaks. Afterwards, we had burgers, nachos and beer at Skamania Lodge and Baskin Robbins closer to home. Now THAT'S a good Sunday morning.

|Don't remember when I was there..
|My buddy Jason and I did this one from the Three Corner Rock Trailhead sometime in late Spring. I don't even remember what year it was, other than that it was probably in 97-98. I couldn't imagine doing this one all the way from the Gorge! I suppose I should fess up and admit that I've also done this one via 4WD......... A tremendous view from this one. On a side note, my wife wanted to go into labor with our first child, so we took our truck up towards this place because of all the bumps. I ended up getting a flat!!!! And we had to wait another couple of days for the baby. So much for that idea..

Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2005
|In order for this mountain to qualify as a bona fide "Gorge Peak" I thought it best to see if it could be done in a day from a Columbia River level trailhead. I took off from the Table Mt. trailhead on the north side of Greenleaf Slough and sure enough, it's do-able, but it makes for a loooong day! I logged about 25 miles and 6,500 vertical for the day. I took in Table Mt. on the way and lost some elevation when I missed a junction.) There's a handy spring just a half mile from the summit that proved useful, too. All-in-all, a beautiful route on an interesting peak.

The Bonesetter's Daughterby Amy Tan
A New York Times Notable Book of 2001
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
These are the things I know are true:
My name is LuLing Liu Young. The names of my husbands were
Pan Kai Jing and Edwin Young, both of them dead and our secrets
gone with them. My daughter is Ruth Luyi Young. She was born in a
Water Dragon Year and I in a Fire Dragon Year. So we are the same
but for opposite reasons.
I know all this, yet there is one name I cannot remember. It is
there in the oldest layer of my memory, and I cannot dig it out. A
hundred times I have gone over that morning when Precious Auntie
wrote it down. I was only six then, but very smart. I could count. I
could read. I had a memory for everything, and here is my memory
of that winter morning.
I was sleepy, still lying on the brick k'ang bed I shared with Precious
Auntie. The flue to our little room was furthest from the stove
in the common room, and the bricks beneath me had long turned
cold. I felt my shoulder being shaken. When I opened my eyes, Precious
Auntie began to write on a scrap of paper, then showed me
what she had written. "I can't see," I complained. "It's too dark."
She huffed, set the paper on the low cupboard, and motioned that
I should get up. She lighted the teapot brazier, and tied a scarf over her
nose and mouth when it started to smoke. She poured face-washing
water into the teapot's chamber, and when it was cooked, she started
our day. She scrubbed my face and ears. She parted my hair and
combed my bangs. She wet down any strands that stuck out like
spider legs. Then she gathered the long part of my hair into two
bundles and braided them. She banded the top with red ribbon, the
bottom with green. I wagged my head so that my braids swung like
the happy ears of palace dogs. And Precious Auntie sniffed the air
as if she, too, were a dog wondering, What's that good smell? That
sniff was how she said my nickname, Doggie. That was how she
She had no voice, just gasps and wheezes, the snorts of a ragged
wind. She told me things with grimaces and groans, dancing eyebrows
and darting eyes. She wrote about the world on my carry-around
chalkboard. She also made pictures with her blackened
hands. Hand-talk, face-talk, and chalk-talk were the languages I
grew up with, soundless and strong.
As she wound her hair tight against her skull, I played with her
box of treasures. I took out a pretty comb, ivory with a rooster
carved at each end. Precious Auntie was born a Rooster. "You wear
this," I demanded, holding it up. "Pretty." I was still young enough
to believe that beauty came from things, and I wanted Mother to favor
her more. But Precious Auntie shook her head. She pulled off
her scarf and pointed to her face and bunched her brows. What use
do I have for prettiness? she was saying.
Her bangs fell to her eyebrows like mine. The rest of her hair was
bound into a knot and stabbed together with a silver prong. She had
a sweet-peach forehead, wide-set eyes, full cheeks tapering to a small
plump nose. That was the top of her face. Then there was the
She wiggled her blackened fingertips like hungry flames. See what
the fire did.
I didn't think she was ugly, not in the way others in our family
did. "Ai-ya, seeing her, even a demon would leap out of his skin," I
once heard Mother remark. When I was small, I liked to trace my
fingers around Precious Auntie 's mouth. It was a puzzle. Half was
bumpy, half was smooth and melted closed. The inside of her right
cheek was stiff as leather, the left was moist and soft. Where the
gums had burned, the teeth had fallen out. And her tongue was like a
parched root. She could not taste the pleasures of life: salty and bitter,
sour and sharp, spicy, sweet, and fat.
No one else understood Precious Auntie 's kind of talk, so I had
to say aloud what she meant. Not everything, though, not our secret
stories. She often told me about her father, the Famous Bonesetter
from the Mouth of the Mountain, about the cave where they found
the dragon bones, how the bones were divine and could cure any
pain, except a grieving heart. "Tell me again," I said that morning,
wishing for a story about how she burned her face and became my
I was a fire-eater, she said with her hands and eyes. Hundreds of
people came to see me in the market square. Into the burning pot of my
mouth I dropped raw pork, added chilis and bean paste, stirred this up,
then offered the morsels to people to taste. If they said, "Delicious!" I
opened my mouth as a purse to catch their copper coins. One day, however,
I ate the fire, and the fire came back, and it ate me. After that, I decided
not to be a cook-pot anymore, so I became your nursemaid instead.
I laughed and clapped my hands, liking this made-up story best.
The day before, she told me she had stared at an unlucky star falling
out of the sky and then it dropped into her open mouth and burned
her face. The day before that, she said she had eaten what she
thought was a spicy Hunan dish only to find that it was the coals used
for cooking.
No more stories, Precious Auntie now told me, her hands talking
fast. It's almost time for breakfast, and we must pray while we're still
hungry. She retrieved the scrap of paper from the cupboard, folded it
in half, and tucked it into the lining of her shoe. We put on our
padded winter clothes and walked into the cold corridor. The air
smelled of coal fires in other wings of the compound. I saw Old
Cook pumping his arm to turn the crank over the well. I heard a tenant
yelling at her lazy daughter-in-law. I passed the room that my
sister, GaoLing, shared with Mother, the two of them still asleep. We
hurried to the south-facing small room, to our ancestral hall. At the
threshold, Precious Auntie gave me a warning look. Act humble. Take
off your shoes. In my stockings, I stepped onto cold gray tiles. Instantly,
my feet were stabbed with an iciness that ran up my legs,
through my body, and dripped out my nose. I began to shake.
The wall facing me was lined with overlapping scrolls of couplets,
gifts to our family from scholars who had used our ink over the
last two hundred years. I had learned to read one, a poem-painting:
"Fish shadows dart downstream," meaning our ink was dark, beautiful,
and smooth-flowing. On the long altar table were two statues,
the God of Longevity with his white-waterfall beard, and the Goddess
of Mercy, her face smooth, free of worry. Her black eyes looked
into mine. Only she listened to the woes and wishes of women, Precious
Auntie said. Perched around the statues were spirit tablets of
the Liu ancestors, their wooden faces carved with their names. Not
all my ancestors were there, Precious Auntie told me, just the ones
my family considered most important. The in-between ones and
those belonging to women were stuck in trunks or forgotten.
Precious Auntie lighted several joss sticks. She blew on them until
they began to smolder. Soon more smoke rose--a jumble of our
breath, our offerings, and hazy clouds that I thought were ghosts
who would try to yank me down to wander with them in the World
of Yin. Precious Auntie once told me that a body grows cold when it
is dead. And since I was chilled to the bone that morning, I was
"I'm cold," I whimpered, and tears leaked out.
Precious Auntie sat on a stool and drew me to her lap. Stop that,
Doggie, she gently scolded, or the tears will freeze into icicles and poke
out your eyes. She kneaded my feet fast, as if they were dumpling
dough. Better? How about now, better?
After I stopped crying, Precious Auntie lighted more joss sticks.
She went back to the threshold and picked up one of her shoes. I can
still see it--the dusty blue cloth, the black piping, the tiny embroidery
of an extra leaf where she had repaired the hole. I thought she
was going to burn her shoe as a send-away gift to the dead. Instead,
from the shoe 's lining, she took out the scrap of paper with the writing
she had showed me earlier. She nodded toward me and said with
her hands: My family name, the name of all the bonesetters. She put
the paper name in front of my face again and said, Never forget this
name, then placed it carefully on the altar. We bowed and rose,
bowed and rose. Each time my head bobbed up, I looked at that
name. And the name was--
Why can't I see it now? I've pushed a hundred family names
through my mouth, and none comes back with the belch of memory.
Was the name uncommon? Did I lose it because I kept it a secret too
long? Maybe I lost it the same way I lost all my favorite things--the
jacket GaoLing gave me when I left for the orphan school, the dress
my second husband said made me look like a movie star, the first
baby dress that Luyi outgrew. Each time I loved something with a
special ache, I put it in my trunk of best things. I hid those things for
so long I almost forgot I had them.
This morning I remembered the trunk. I went to put away the
birthday present that Luyi gave me. Gray pearls from Hawaii, beautiful
beyond belief. When I opened the lid, out rose a cloud of moths, a
stream of silverfish. Inside I found a web of knitted holes, one after
the other. The embroidered flowers, the bright colors, now gone. Almost
all that mattered in my life has disappeared, and the worst is
losing Precious Auntie 's name.
Precious Auntie, what is our name? I always meant to claim it as
my own. Come help me remember. I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm
not afraid of ghosts. Are you still mad at me? Don't you recognize
me? I am LuLing, your daughter.
"[An] absorbing tale of the mother-dauthter bond....This book sing[s] with emotion and insight." People
"Amy Tan [has] done it again....The Bonesetter?s Daughter tells a compelling tale of family relationships; it layers and stirs themes of secrets, ambiguous meanings, cultural complexity and self-identity; and it resonates with metaphor and symbol." The Denver Post
"For Tan, the true keeper of memory is language, and so the novel is layered with stories that have been written down?by mothers for their daughters, passing along secrets that cannot be said out loud but must not be forgotten." The New York Times Book Review
"Tan at her best....Rich and hauntingly forlorn...the writing is so exacting and unique in its detail." San Francisco Chronicle
"The Bonesetter?s Daughter dramatically chronicles the tortured, devoted relationship between LuLing Young and her daughter Ruth....A strong novel, filled with idiosyncratic, sympathetic characters, haunting images, historical complexity, significant contemporary themes, and suspenseful mystery." Los Angeles Times
"In its rich character portrayals and sensitivity to the nuances of mother-daughter relationships, Tan's new novel is the real successor to, and equal of, The Joy Luck Club....The novel exhibits a poignant clarity as it investigates the dilemma of adult children who must become caretakers of their elderly parents, a situation Tan articulates with integrity and exemplary empathy for both generations." Publishers Weekly

Warning: SUTA geniuses at work in state labor departments
We are doing some research right now on expected 2010 increases in state unemployment taxes, and it's looking pretty scary. In Florida, for instance, the minimum annual rate for unemployment taxes rises to $100.30 per full-time employee in 2010 from the current rate of $8.40. The maximum annual rate will go to $459 from $378.
Needless to say, staffing firms are very concerned how higher... More
I know you're not independent contractor compliant
The next time you want to give a fright to your human resource department (and who doesn't?), call them up with a handkerchief over the receiver, breathe heavily and say "I know you're not independent contractor compliant." The odds are you'll be right, and in the current legal environment few things are more fraught with danger.
In our recent 2009 Contingent Buyer Survey, we asked buyers... More

Lawrence C. Longway proved to the Jefferson County Board of Elections this week that he qualifies as a registered voter in New York State. But the Pamelia supervisor now will need to account to the state of Florida for the eight years he claimed to be a permanent resident in Hillsborough County, where he has received a Homestead Exemption since 2005.
If the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Office determines Mr. Longway was a New York State resident since 2005, it will seek to recoup the tax savings he received by placing a lien on the house owned by the Longways at 1245 Acappella Lane, Apollo Beach, Fla.
The Times also learned Thursday that Mr. Longway had a valid Florida drivers license from 2005 to 2007, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
Mr. Longway, who has served as Pamelia supervisor since 2004, declined to comment Thursday.
Following a two-week investigation, the Board of Elections ruled Tuesday that Mr. Longway qualifies as a voting resident in New York. During the countys primary election Tuesday, the Republican supervisor will be on the ballot as an incumbent candidate facing challenger Scott J. Allen.
Mr. Longways status as a resident was questioned by the Board of Elections last month after it received a letter about his Florida residency from Rochester resident Suzanne Phillips, a Pamelia native. At the time, the board questioned whether Mr. Longway qualified as a registered voter, because the home address listed on his election petition is a commercial building he owns in Pamelia: Long-Park Tire at 23751 Route 342.
But Republican Commissioner Jerry O. Eaton said the board later found out the tire business qualifies as a residence in the town of Pamelia because the town does not have a law excluding residents from living in commercial buildings. Mr. Longway also submitted a copy of his drivers license, an electricity bill and a bank statement as proof of his residency.
Living in a commercial building is not normally considered a residence, so the question we posed to Mr. Longway was to prove he is a resident, Mr. Eaton said. But the town of Pamelia code enforcement officer presented a letter to say the town had no zoning law that limited someone from residing in a commercial building. That was a big factor in determining he was a voting resident.
But Mr. Longway cant have the best of both states.
Mr. Longway needed to qualify as a permanent Florida resident to receive a Homestead Exemption, said William E. Shepherd, general counsel for the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Office. Mr. Longway and his wife, Virginia, began receiving a Homestead Exemption in 2005 for a house they owned at 1227 Acappella Lane. The Longways sold that house July 1, 2009, for $749,000 to Jeffrey and Sherrie Boje, according to county property records.
Then, in 2010 the Longways successfully applied for a Homestead Exemption for a house owned in the same neighborhood at 1245 Acappella Lane. That property was purchased in July 2007 for $725,000, according to county property records. On the application for exemption, Mr. Longway claimed to be a permanent resident of Florida since June 1, 2004.
It appears Mr. Longway has to make a choice, Mr. Shepherd said in a phone interview Thursday. He either has to claim he has always been a resident of New York, in which case we will file a lien on the property for taxes that escaped taxation, and a penalty of 50 percent of the taxes that were improperly exempted. Or hell claim he was a Florida resident, and then his claim in New York was inaccurate.
For the years in which Mr. Longway is found disqualified as a permanent Florida resident, Hillsborough County would seek to recoup at least $750 a year in tax savings from the Homestead Exemption, plus the 50 percent penalty for unpaid taxes and 15 percent interest per year.
Though it wasnt noted by the property appraiser office, section 196.131 of the Florida Statutes stipulates the punishment for providing false information to receive a Homestead Exemption: Any person who knowingly and willfully gives false information for the purpose of claiming homestead exemption is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable by up to one year in prison and/or a $5,000 fine.

Luo Baogen, 67, and his 65-year-old wife have waged a four-year battle to receive more than the 41,300 USD compensation offered by the local government of Daxi, a Chinese newspaper said. The phenomenon is called a 'nail house' in China, as such buildings stick out and are difficult to remove, like a stubborn nail. CHINA OUT AFP PHOTO (Photo credit should read STR/AFP/Getty Images)

Retrieving information about past purchases
You can retrieve information about past purchases by invoking PaymentEngine.getExistingPurchases(boolean allowRefresh) for a synchronous call, or PurchaseHistory.get(PurchaseHistoryListingListener listener) for an asynchronous call. A record of past purchases is necessary if you want to customize your application to reflect past purchases, or if you want to implement a subscription model that initiates recurring purchases.
Invoking getExistingPurchases() returns an ExistingPurchasesResult object. You can retrieve an array of Purchase objects that represent existing purchases by invoking ExistingPurchasesResult.getPurchases(). Each result in the array contains details about a purchase, such as the SKU, digital good ID, metadata and the date of the purchase.
The allowRefresh parameter is a Boolean value that indicates whether the application can retrieve the records of purchases from the Payment Service server, or that the application can only retrieve records that are stored on the BlackBerry device. To retrieve records from the Payment Service, log in using a BlackBerry ID. To retrieve records from the BlackBerry device, you do not need to log in. You may choose to query the Payment Service server after a device switch because records of purchases might not be stored on the BlackBerry device. An indeterminate progress dialog appears while the user's purchase history is retrieved from the Payment Service server.
Code sample: Using a synchronous call to retrieve information about past purchases
try { ExistingPurchasesResult result = engine.getExistingPurchases(true); Purchase[] resultPurchases = result.getPurchases(); } catch (PaymentException e) { //code that is executed if an exception is thrown }
Code sample: Using an asynchronous call to retrieve information about past purchases
private PurchaseHistoryListingListener listener; public void getPurchaseHistory() { listener = new PurchaseHistoryListingListener() { public void error( String message, int errorCode ) { // Handle error } public void success( Purchase[] purchases ) { // Handle the purchases } }; PurchaseHistory.get(listener); }

CHARDON -- Shortly after his sentencing hearing, #tjlane became the nation's top trending item on Twitter with #chardon at number three.
Meanwhile, #tjlane was even trending globally.
From his "KILLER" T-shirt to the smile on his face,our Facebook andTwitter pages have been filled with hundreds upon hundredsof comments as viewers offer their thoughts on T.J. Lane's behavior and punishment during his sentencing hearing.
EXPANDED Chardon coverage: http://on.wkyc.com/ZYsqZr
Before a judge punished Lane with three life sentences without the possibility of parole, Lane said the "F" word and flipped the courtroom off before smiling and smirking as victims' relatives addressed him.
PHOTOS -- TJ Lane's sentencing hearing: http://on.wkyc.com/ZsRoRD
As you would expect, the entire hearing generated lots of discussion on social media. Here's a small sampling of what our viewers had to say.
From the WKYC Facebook page:
- Laura: Should have gotten the Death Sentence!!!!!!!
- Luke: just use the chair. end of discussion.
- Diann: Honestly, it's a waste of money. A bullet would be cheaper for the tax payers.
- Diane: Good. He deserve it. I hope he rotts in Hell.
- Matt: Justice served.
- Tiffany: Should have a public hangin'
- Jack: He should die. Tomorrow. A lot cheaper.
- Kristen: Put him in a cell with BUBBA!
- Tabatha: Put him to death.. he is obviously showing no remorse what so ever!!!
- Orlando: No you guys are lookin at this all wrong, I'm glad he's gonna get life now he will spend his days in prison being someone's bitch for the rest of his life. Just what he deserves to live in torment for the rest of his life.
- Emily: Just sad. No winners. Prayers for all the families.
- Tj: It's inevitable that some bleeding heart will feel sorry for him and lead a crusade... I say string him up!
- Gayle: why does he get to live and us to pay for him to live when the kids he killed never had a chance i really think someone should just turn his ass loose among the kids and let them make him feel what the victims felt and let him beg for his life as he loses his i have no pity for him
- Jeff: they shouldnt of let him wear that shirt , but I geuss its not against the law
- Justin: Why in the hell are we, tax payers, happy about this? Now he gets 3 hot meals, a shower, a bed, education. And for what? Why waste the money? Sentence him to death and lets move on.
- Crystal: After the antics and lack of remorse he displayed during his sentencing, I would say that he deserved the death penalty, but on second thought, that little weasel won't stand a chance in prison. Let's see how far he gets with his cowardly show and defiant smirks there.
- Christina: Awesome more scum we tax dollars have to pay to house and feed!
From the WKYC Twitter page:
- Bailey: shoulda sentenced him to death. I think for people like him there should be a special exception.
- Mitch: death would have been to easy. Let him rot in prison for the rest of his life.
- Jarrod: I believe he deserves to be in jail. he showed no respect to the families and courtroom. He is a cold blooded killer. End of story
- Chuck: he is obviously a sociopath. The inmates will rip him apart when he gets in. Appalling behavior.
- Suzanne: His behavior is appalling but he won't be smirking so much when he's in prison. His cellmates will see to that.
- Andrew: he got what he deserved

Video: Report: STAR Program Fraught with Abuse
By Joseph Spector
Albany Bureau
ALBANY The state's School Tax Relief program is replete with duplicate and improper exemptions for property owners, costing New Yorkers $13 million during the 2010-11 fiscal year and potentially $73 million by 2016, a state audit Thursday found.
WEB EXTRA: Click here to read the audit
Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli found that some municipalities were lax in their oversight and gave out benefits on multiple homes to the same owners. Auditors examined 6,500 parcels receiving STAR exemptions in 46 municipalities.
"The STAR program has succeeded in delivering million of dollars in tax relief, but it is difficult to ferret out abuse or even errors because it is hard to police the program. STAR exemptions could be easily gamed at a significant cost to the state," DiNapoli said in a statement.
Enacted in 1998, the STAR program provides a partial exemption from school taxes for most homeowners with incomes less than $500,000 on their primary residence. The state's enhanced STAR program provides an additional benefit for senior citizens with incomes of $74,100 or less.
The auditors found that nearly 20 percent of the STAR exemptions reviewed should not have been granted. The report came a day after authorities in Rockland County found more than 500 Rockland property owners were illegally getting STAR rebates, costing the state $671,000.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo in his 2013-14 budget is proposing a re-registration initiative for the STAR program to crack down on abuses.
DiNapoli's report found that there were nearly 2.8 million basic STAR exemptions in the 2010-11 fiscal year and 624,474 enhanced STAR exemptions statewide.
DiNapoli said some municipalities have boosted STAR oversigh, including Chili in Monroe County and Greenburgh in Westchester County. Others audited in the report included Beekman in Dutchess County; Carmel in Putnam County; Greece in Monroe County; and Yorktown and Yonkers in Westchester.
Greenburgh Assessor Edye McCarthy said the town has relationships with out-of-state clerks in the South to check on where people are claiming their primary residences. They also continually check records to see if any property owners died or moved.
"We feel here like we are investigators," she said.
McCarthy said the state should either provide funding for local governments to better oversee the program or take it over, saying it's currently an unfunded mandate.
Aimed at helping to offset New York's property-tax burden, STAR benefits -- funded through the state budget -- have rapidly increased. The state's cost grew from $582 million in 1999 to $3.2 billion in 2011, the report found. DiNapoli said the cost could grow to more than $3.7 billion by 2016.
Some school groups said the program needs to be reformed.
"I think there are huge operationally issues with star. And I think STAR has distributional issues," Bruce Fraser, executive director of the state Rural Schools Association.
DiNapoli said it is too easy to defraud the system because the STAR program applications do not require information that identifies property owners, such as Social Security numbers.
Also, assessors do not have access to state databases that would allow them to track STAR exemptions outside their towns, if, for example, someone was claiming benefits in two different towns.
Some of the problems showed that homeowners were receiving STAR benefits for their primary residences and second homes. Additionally, a homeowner may have died and a relative who inherited the property continued to receive the exemption.
The report noted that in Monroe County, a homeowner who received an Enhanced STAR exemption died in September 2009, but the property continued to receive the exemption.
DiNapoli proposed a number of steps to weed out abuse in the system. He said state leaders should require a unique identifier for each STAR recipient and to create a more useable state database so municipalities can look for duplicate STAR beneficiaries.
Jody Siegle, the executive director of the Monroe County School Boards Association, said STAR has been difficult for residents and municipalities to understand.
"There are issues around STAR, heaven knows," Siegle said. "There have been instances in the past where you have this confusion between the towns and the residents. I think it's important that everything be done properly."

Medicaid helps people with low incomes pay for medical bills. Medicaid is different than Medicare. Medicare provides coverage to people 65 or older and people with disabilities. Medicaid provides health care coverage to all low-income Americans.
Medicaid is a jointly funded federal-state program. It is administered by the states according to federal guidelines. Eligibility varies by state, but generally people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
Medicare beneficiaries also may receive Medicaid assistance for some services not covered by Medicare, such as prescription drugs, nursing home care, eyeglasses and other medical services.
The Medicaid program does the following.
It provides health care to 36 million people.
It provides some level of supplemental health coverage for 5.9 million Medicare beneficiaries, including prescription drug coverage, nursing home care and more.
It provides health insurance coverage for 18 million children.
It covers 45 percent of the nursing home and home care costs for 3.6 million Americans who suffer long-term, chronic illnesses.

Video: State of the State: Gun Control Proposal
ALBANY, NY - Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday called for the "toughest assault weapon ban in the nation," using his State of the State address to lay out a seven-point plan for reforming New York's gun laws.
Using a mix of specific proposals and broad language, Cuomo said the state must end "the risk of unnecessary, high-capacity assault rifles," without targeting hunters and sportsmen.
"Gun violence has been on a rampage as we know firsthand, and we know painfully," said Cuomo, who owns a Remington shotgun. "We must stop the madness, my friends, and in one word, it's just enough. It has been enough."
Cuomo's vision is to ban all magazines with a capacity of more than 10 bullets. Currently, high-capacity magazines are banned in the state unless they were manufactured before 1994.
Some lawmakers say that the state's laws on guns need to be tougher, while others say that few changes are needed.
Some Republican lawmakers, who suspect that the ban may infringe on Second Amendment rights are wary of the proposal. "This is a very far reaching plan that he discussed in terms of ammunition, in terms of assault weapons, in terms of the mentally ill," said State Sen. Michael Ranzenhofer of the 61st District.
Sen. James Seward, a Republican from Milford, Otsego County, said the governor's proposal might alienate gun owners and manufacturers. Remington Arms operates a plant in Ilion, which is in Seward's district.
"We need a balanced approach to help us to maintain those 1,000-plus jobs at Remington Arms in Ilion and also to maintain the interests of law-abiding legitimate gun owners," Seward said after the speech. "I think we can solve this problem of creating safer schools, safer communities, without ruining Remington Arms.
The Democratic governor did not lay out specifics for what an acceptable assault-weapons ban would entail. The state's current ban includes semi-automatic rifles, but only if they include a certain combination of accessories, such as a bayonet and a flash suppressor.
"We need a gun policy in this state that is reasonable, that is balanced, that is measured," Cuomo said. "We respect hunters and sportsmen. This is not taking people's guns."
However, he did announce some strong principles. The most rigorous include state or federal background checks on private sales of guns, a ban on high capacity magazines and keeping guns from people who are mentally ill. The governor says that law enforcement would be able to take someone's gun away if a medical professional found the person to be mentally ill.
"When you have these military style assault rifles in the hands of individuals that shouldn't have them, many of them that are mentally ill, go out and kill innocent folks, that's what we're trying to crack down on," said State Sen. Timothy Kennedy, a Democrat.
There is bipartisan support for this.
"Illegal weapons getting in the hands of somebody who shouldn't have them a criminal or somebody who has mental health issues and I'm glad he addressed that," said State Sen. Patrick Gallivan, a Republican who represents the 59th District.
Rochester police chief James Sheppard, who spoke before the governor at Wednesday's event, said he thought the governor's proposals were fair and would not offend law-abiding gun owners.
In addition to asking Sheppard to speak, Cuomo honored the families of two Webster, Monroe County, firefighters who were killed in a Christmas Eve shooting. Cuomo gave the officers' families New York flags. The recent massacres in Connecticut and Webster are driving the debate.
"You just can't stand back, the way things are," Sheppard said after the speech. "You have to do something to make a difference."
Cuomo has been in negotiations with legislative leaders over the past several weeks to reform the state's gun laws. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat from Manhattan, told reporters Tuesday that a deal on legislation was "achievable."
"Assault weapons are designed to kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. We don't need them in New York State. We should ban them," Silver said after the speech.
He said he told members of his conference that there was a possibility the Legislature would vote on gun laws this week or next. Some assembly members are staying overnight in Albany, because they've been told the governor could call them back into session as soon as Thursday to begin the gun control debate. Other lawmakers, will go back to their districts to find out what their constituents want to see happen and also check in with schools and law enforcement. And want to hear from pro and anti-gun groups to get their thoughts.
The governor's plan would also require a background check for all private sales of guns. There would be enhanced penalties for possessing illegal guns -- though Cuomo did not get into specifics -- and reporting by mental-health professionals about the risk of their patients owning a gun.
His proposals would also bolster background checks and registrations for gun holders.
Senate Republicans last weekend released their own plan for the state's gun laws, focusing on increasing penalties for gun crimes and illegally obtained firearms. The GOP has also pushed for a permanent form of "Kendra's Law," which allows courts to order outpatient treatment for the mentally ill.
The governor didn't address the permitting process, or video game violence.

Grade Level: 6th – 8th grade
Subject Matter: Life Sciences
National Standards: NS.5-8.1, NS.5-8.3
2 or 4 small rocks (about the size of a peach), depending on the number of aquariums
Science notebooks – one for each student
Pen or pencils – one for each student
Betta water conditioner
Aquarium gravel
2 or 4 adult bettas - one for each aquarium. Half of the bettas must be of the opposite gender, so that students can make comparisons.
Betta fish flake food
Freeze-dried bloodworms
Small aquarium plant (such as a banana plant or elodea) for each aquarium
Small aquarium net – one for each aquarium
Betta: a large genus of small, often colorful, freshwater ray-finned fishes in the gourami family (Osphronemidae).
Genus: a set of closely related species.
Species: the classification for a group of organisms that resemble one another and may interbreed.
Acclimate: to become accustomed to a new environment.
Labyrinth: in anatomy, a structure of connected cavities or canals.
Prep: Begin to set up aquariums one day before conducting this lesson; the aquarium water must be conditioned before you can introduce bettas into the tank. To condition the water, fill each aquarium, and then follow instructions on the water conditioner that you purchased. Finally, place a layer of gravel on the bottom of the tank.
Begin the lesson by having students watch the Science Friday Video, Aquarist to the Stars. Ask students if any of them have kept an aquarium. Based on the video, do they think that it is easy to maintain an aquarium? What do they need to know in order to maintain an aquarium?
Inform students that they will collaborate to maintain a betta aquarium and observe some behavioral characteristics of their pet betta. Have students research general information on bettas online or at their local public library. Students should research and record the following in their science notebooks:
Where did bettas originate? How many species are there?
What do bettas eat? Are they herbivores or carnivores?
How do bettas breathe?
Why are some bettas called Siamese fighting fish?
What do bettas look like? What are the differences between male and female bettas? Can you distinguish males from females with the naked eye?
What is the average size range for a betta?
Divide students into groups of two to four, depending on the number of betta aquariums that you have purchased. Ask students to discuss, drawing on the research they have done, appropriate maintenance of a betta aquarium. What should the betta be feed? How often should it be fed? Should two male bettas be placed in the same tank together? What about two females? How many times should the water be cleaned if there is no water filter? Students should divide duties for the next few weeks among members of their group, and record completion of each duty on a sheet of paper that you place near each aquarium.
Have students observe and record physical properties of their betta in their science notebook. They can sketch an image of their betta and describe body parts, colors, and measurements. Students can compare their betta with the other bettas in the classroom. What do they notice about the fins of the male as opposed to the fins of the female?
Inform students that for the next few weeks, they will be observing and recording behavioral characteristics of their betta in their science notebooks. Have students conduct the following investigations:
Feeding behavior – Does the betta eat from the top or does it wait for the food to sink to the bottom? Does the betta prefer the fish flake food or the bloodworms?
Swimming behavior – Does the betta swim around the tank constantly? Does the betta swim differently from the other bettas? Is there a particular part of the aquarium that the betta prefers? Does the betta swim frequently to the surface?
Environmental stimulus – Add a small plant to the aquarium. How does the betta react to the plant? Add a small rock to the aquarium. How does the betta react to the rock?
Temperature change – Does the betta's behavior change with the air temperature in the classroom?
Once students have completed all investigations, have students compare and contrast their findings. Did all classroom bettas behave in the same way for each investigation? What are possible variables that could account for any differences?
What are some common misconceptions about bettas?
What are some possible reasons why bettas have developed and rely upon a labyrinth organ for breathing?
Why are there so many breeds of bettas?
Have students create a three-to-five minute video, documenting and narrating one or more of their betta's behavioral characteristics. Have a Betta Appreciation Day and present all the videos in class.

Mark's dream guitar with aggressive Tremonti humbuckers, comfortable Pattern Thin neck, and luxurious 10 Top.
Mark Tremonti is one of rock's leading guitarists. As the guitarist of Alter Bridge and Creed, he has met extraordinary success and continues to grow as both a guitar player and songwriter. While Creed was on tour in support of their first record, My Own Prison, Mark was contacted by PRS and asked if he would like to try one of their guitars.
"I jumped at the idea to play one of PRS guitars. PRS was one of those guitars that I could never afford in high school or college and had always wanted to play one." PRS sent Mark a McCarty model which he instantly fell in love with. He played that guitar exclusively for a while, but ultimately wanted a guitar that was more suited to his playing style.
Mark Tremonti began to collaborate with PRS on his dream guitar that would soon become the Mark Tremonti Signature Model. He needed pickups that were a little more aggressive and could complement his rhythm playing which contains a lot of palm muting. The result: PRS-designed Tremonti humbuckers. The neck of the guitar needed to accommodate his style, influenced by thrash metal, shred, and traditional blues. PRS met these needs with the Pattern Thin neck carve.
Pattern Thin Neck Shape
Neck shapes have always been a high priority for PRS and a hallmark of their quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like "home," as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The "Pattern Thin" neck is an updated version of PRS's traditional Wide Thin neck. This new neck shape reflects modern tooling and programming that allows PRS to even more preciously shape and consistently reproduce their necks.
Thrash metal, shred, and traditional blues? The Mark Tremonti Signature can deal, order yours today.

Comments about PRS Mark Tremonti Signature Model 10 Top Electric Guitar:
This guitar is the best I've played and I've played the gammit. Really impressed with the tone knobs and the pickup switch...they really open up a wide range of tone possibilties compared to other expensive and cheap brands. Fast fretboard, awesome looks, great sound for rock, blues, country...about anything. I read about possible questions on the tremolo but it does very well for any task. If you're really yanking on the trem you should probably get a cheaper ax in case you cause structural damage to the instrument - you would not want to cause such damage to this beauty. I love this piece. It's my dream guitar!

DETROIT (Detroit News)--When it comes to cars, consumers around the world who are offered a wide palette of colors continue to choose white, according to an annual survey by paint supplier PPG Industries.
White retained the top spot for a second year, after unseating silver, according to the annual automotive color popularity and trend data released today. The findings are based on vehicles built this year.
Cars are not entirely bland. The survey shows overall use of color on the rise and metallics, including gold, bronze and copper, gaining in popularity.

Core colors remain dominant: white is closely followed by silver, which shows off styling well, and then black, gray and red.
And there are regional differences. White was tops everywhere but in North America it is followed by black, silver and gray tie at 16% each while green snags 3%. White is the choice for many fleet vehicles, especially trucks.
Europe is tiring of silver, which drops to 13%; blue, natural -- defined as gold or tan -- and red are tied at 7% each.
Asia Pacific loves silver and white equally and 10% want natural while gray fades to 8%.
Color is one of the first things a consumer notices, said Jane Harrington, PPG's manager of automotive color styling. Color "is increasingly being used in everyday items from cell phones to large appliances, based largely on automotive trends."
The palette is influenced by culture, nature, fashion, interior design and new pigment technology such as the use of more metal flakes, Harrington said.
PPG released its findings at its annual Automotive Color Trend Show in Troy where 64 new colors from more than 20 color experts in six styling laboratories were introduced to automakers for consideration on 2015-16 model-year vehicles.
The new shades include Al Fresco which is a silver metallic with fresh green tint; Victoria Gray which is classic gray with some iridescent gold metal highlights; Opulence, which suggests an end to the recession by rewarding the consumer with a car in red pearl paint, or Elixir, which is a metallic mixture of silver and magenta.
"Our consumer research has clearly shown that color is critically important to car buyers," Harrington said.
A 2011 survey showed 77% said color was a factor in their purchase decision, especially those buying large luxury cars, sporty cars and large premium SUVs.
And while white is still the top choice, 45% said they would prefer a wider range of color choices.

|Gun bill heard in House
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 15 May 2007 05:27
A bill being considered in a House committee would require gun owners to report to authorities when the gun is lost or stolen. Anyone who failed to do so, could be charged with a misdemeanor.The bill's intention is to thwart "straw purchases," when a buyer obtains a gun for someone who is not legally eligible to purchase one. Dissenters fear the measure would inadvertently target gun owners who try to protect their family. The measure will continue to be reviewed in the judiciary committee today.

Buzz: Did The Columbus Blue Jackets Inquire About @MichaelDelZotto ?
In the Edmonton Journal, Jim Matheson writes that the Columbus Blue Jackets, "who badly need offensive blue-liners," inquired about the Rangers Michael Del Zotto.
Matheson writes that the Blue Jackets may have offered up former Ranger Fedor Tyutin in the deal.
Del Zotto has two goals and seven assists this season with an even rating. Last season he had 9 goals and 28 assists with a minus twenty rating.
He was a minus three yesterday, his first minus game in almost a month.
Matheson goes on to write that Tyutin probably wouldn't be enough for Del Zotto, but wonders about adding prospect Nikita Filatov to the deal.
…Even with the offensive outputs of Marc Staal and Dan Girardi this season, Michael Del Zotto is still the Rangers best offensive defenseman and losing him, as a 20-year-old, could be a BIG TIME mistake. John Tortorella often talks about him as one of the "core" guys and it is incredibly unlikely that they would trade him, even in a deal for Brad Richards.
But, in that kind of deal, for Fedor Tyutin and Filatov? That is tough. Filatov has ELITE like talent but has that same enigma problem that the Rangers always find themselves with. He is only 20 years old though. There was buzz on Tyutin a couple of weeks ago but I still find it hard to think that the team would trade Del Zotto who still projects out to be a top offensive defenseman but is going through a bad slump now. He hasn't scored since November 20th and only has three assists in that time. I thought the Rangers would look back on moving Del Zotto with big regret at this early point in his career.

love it! and who doesn't love a good 7 layer dip?!ReplyDelete
I am actually watching the game on TV here in Sweden right now :-)ReplyDelete
It worked! Congrats on the win and I'm sure the dip was enjoyed:@)ReplyDelete
Cool cake! And what a HOT game!!! Talk about the heart attack kids, huh? Breeze through the first half, and then freak us out in the second... OY! (Why in the world an onside kick at the end???) Grrrrreat game though, now that we've stopped hyperventilating.ReplyDelete
The dip looks great. Congratulation on your team's win this weekend.ReplyDelete
That is cute and creative! Pinning it.ReplyDelete
Go Falcons!!!!! That game against the Seahawks was the best, right down to the last 8 seconds, loved it. I hope they make it all the way! This dip is so fun, I know you and the boys enjoyed it!ReplyDelete
