3 Accused of Leading Fake Check Ring
The State Attorney's Office announced Thursday that police have apprehended 13 out of 29 suspects in a local counterfeit check ring, amounting to at least $395,000 in losses.
At least 900 counterfeit checks were cashed, dating back to 2005, said Assistant State Attorney Kevin Frein.
Three suspects, Fred Holliman, 34, Billy D. Williams, 29, and Lakeisha Williams, 29, are facing racketeering and check fraud charges as the "organizers" of the operation, Frein said.
Holliman was arrested in Jacksonville on Sept. 19 for possession of counterfeit checks and possession of cocaine. After obtaining a search warrant for his home, investigators found a check counterfeiting program on Holliman's laptop computer and contact information for criminal associates, Frein said.
The three organizers recruited people to cash counterfeit checks, ranging from $300 to $500, at Jacksonville grocery stores, Frein said.
Using the information from Holliman's computer, police arrested Lakeisha Williams on Wednesday at her home, Frein said. Police tried to capture Billy D. Williams, but he fled his home Wednesday in the 5000 block of Cleveland Road when police tried to arrest him. He remains a fugitive, Frein said.
Frein said the check counterfeiting ring was able to go on for so long because it was hard to trace isolated cases to the main organizers.
"The forensic evidence we have now helps us build a prosecutable case," Frein said.
Frein said the three organizers can be prosecuted under the Racketeering Influence and Corruption Act, a 1970 federal law aimed at organized crime. If convicted, Lakeisha Williams and Billy D. Williams face up to 30 years in prison. Holliman faces up to 60 years because he is a habitual offender, Frein said.
Frein said it's rare to have a pure RICO Act case in Florida that's not related to drug crimes.
Adam Aasen
A Jacksonville man who police said killed his wife in a struggle is behind bars on a murder charge.
Police said the 44-year-old man got in a domestic dispute Wednesday night with his wife, Linda Way, at her home in the 9600 block of Flechette Avenue. Curtis Way, who is 6 feet tall and 210 pounds, held his wife down until she lost consciousness, police said. Then he went to a neighboring home to call 911. …

With the emergence of feminist criticism in the past quarter century, desire has become a focal point of theory and critical commentary. It has, of course, been present in literary discourse for much longer, as long as there have been stories of love, greed, and power. But recent emphases on bodies, sexual identities, and repression have sharpened the discussions. Within African American literature and the criticism of it, there has been a reluctance to fully engage these issues, in part because the dominant racial formation has used the language of desire to subordinate black being through representations of the licentious black woman and the black rapist. What can be seen in the works examined in this section is the continuing ambiguity about desire. Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, and Charles Johnson problematize the expression of physical desire; none of the characters in the novels considered here find contentment in their bodies or their sexuality. Raymond Andrews, while more playful in presenting sexual experience, takes a moral position (through satire) on other forms of desire, such as greed and power. In his case, the erotic serves the purpose of this moral positioning. Thus, even in contemporary texts where black bodies (and sometimes white ones) are central to narrative, the authors experience dis-ease in their representation.
The late 1980s marked the end of a decade in which gender issues among African Americans had been especially contentious. One marker of the beginning of this era was the publication and performance of ntozake shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide… When the Rainbow Is Enuf (1977), with its depictions of the frequently violent nature of men and the need for bonding among black women. Two years later came Michele Wallace's Black Macho and the Myth of the Black Superwoman (1979), which sought to decon-

Specifically, we should make it clear that document.domain doesn't affect indexedDB at all.
In IE we use the FQDN, protocol, and a GUID to define the db origin. This doesn't include the port number. That means that for http://www.microsoft.com, we'll use the complete string to define our origin and add a special GUID to it. From that perspective, modifying the values for document.origin will have no impact on our operations. However, I can see how other implementers could've done this differently without affecting the end result.
Are you looking for a note like:
"The origin of the IDBEnvironment is calculated in part by using the Fully Qualified Domain Name. However, changes to the document.domain attribute won't have any impact this computation."
Commit #375
Section 3.1.1 now contains:
A database's origin is the same as the origin of the document or worker. Each origin has an associated set of databases.

"Loved it"
I'm a big Nora Roberts fan and even though some of her earlier work isn't my favorite this is great. I loved every bit of this story and could not stop listening. I purchased it for my iPod to use when I go on my daily walks but kept listening while driving, working in the house. I couldn't stop!
The narrator is good but a little squeeky at times, however, it didn't take away from the story. Hunter is an odd man but become more appealing as the story goes on. He and Lee seem so different but yet they work together, very good chemistry between them. The only part that was strange was the daughter it wrapped up too quick. I hope you give it a try you'll be glad you did.
avid reader
"Vintage Nora"
Nice, easy romance with Nora's style and flair. A little dated, but still a cute story and worthwhile read.
Love books, preferably romance and suspense. Typically read/listen to 3-5 a week.
"good listen"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have listened to this book several times. I found the story line good and it kept my attention. The narrator was good too. This may be an older book but it certainly served my purpose.
"Cute. Simple."
This is a cute, simple story...no great plot, but worth a listen.
"Very old book"
Written sometime in the 60 or 70's. Good, but defintely an early piece of work for Nora Roberts.

The Official STAR TREK Grading & Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

Captain Robert April wrote:
superdeluxe wrote:
I am really interested in opinions from those that had massive reservations about the canon being changed etc etc. What they thought of it, and if JJ abrams some felt were really destroying what they knew of Star Trek?
Well, I am on the verge of eating my vow to never see this thing, thanks to a free pass for tomorrow night's screening combined with a lecture on sales at my broadcasting class that I'd just as soon skip.
I suppose I can placate myself with the assurance that I still intend to never
to see it.
This was more or less what happened with me. As many here know I had said I would not pay to see movies of this type before this particular film was ever announced. I worked at a movie theater a couple of years ago while being laid off and still know a couple of people there so I get to see movies for free from time to time.
Many of my pre-conceptions about the film were wrong as far as the story itself and the motives of some of the characters. I was thrilled to see that I was wrong about Nimoy's Spock being the character Abrams was referring to when he said somebody dies.
Visually, this movie is excellent. But then, for $150m with a C level cast I figured that it would be. And SOME of the casting is better than I figured it would be... Urban in particular.
There's some decent action in the film (though nothing really earth shattering) and a good bit of humor (bordering on spoof territory at times).
Having said all of that, I find the story itself a combination of disturbing (with respect to what appears to be the message) and rather weak.
The weak part first. Abrams said going into this project that he wanted to make a film for people who weren't fans as much as were. Fair enough. But, I found myself asking a couple of things after seeing the movie... would I have found a couple of the things in the movie as easy to swallow as I did if I'd never known anything about Trek. Would Chekov's problems with the computer have seemed as funny? Probably not. But, even more is the last minute or so of the film.
The closing moments of the film have the entire crew aboard the Enterprise... everybody in their familiar positions. And, I ask myself... is there ANYTHING in this movie that lends itself to that outcome? Kirk, in particular.
I mean, consider the course of events surrounding his character in the movie for a moment. He never finishes the academy in this movie... on academic suspension. Failure #1. He gets his tail kicked on the drilling platform... saved by Sulu while clinging for dear life on an edge (for the second time in the movie). Failure #2. He tries to save Sulu at the end of that sequence, they both end up saved by Chekov. Failure #3. He gets tossed off of the Enterprise for insubordination. Failure #4. He gets chased down by a big critter which, in turn gets eaten by a bigger critter. Old Spock saves him from that one. Failure #5. He manages to save Scotty in a humorous but pointless skit with the pipes. Success #1. He assumes command of the ship after Spock steps down on the basis that he had been named First Officer by Pike. Would be fine except that he, himself, had already been relieved of duty. The chair should have gone to Sulu, Scotty or Uhura. He and Spock head over to Nero's ship. Kirk goes after Pike. Gets his tail kicked again but manages to kill the Romulan. Spock, on the other hand, is the one who actually saves the day and defeats Nero.
So, again, I ask myself... why do we accept Kirk being in that chair at the end of the movie? The only good reason is because we expect it. The story, itself, lends us to an entirely different conclusion.
Other things about the movie that I find weak is the premise that Vulcan needed to be saved. Vulcans are as advanced if not more so than the Federation itself. The notion that a race so advanced would have no clue that they were being attacked and would sit there and die believing it to be some natural phenomenon is pretty difficult to swallow. At a minimum, they would have evacuated the planet. More than likely, they would have attempted to destroy the drilling platform.
My big issue with the movie, though, is the overall message. The movie is racked with one failure after another for the lead character. The most severe of which is, obviously, failing to save Vulcan. The message of the movie seems to be one of the end justifying the means. That, somehow, 6 billion people (and Spock's own mother) dying is an acceptable trade-off for Kirk and company getting control of the ship. If that sounds like a message that Roddenberry would have supported to anybody I'm not sure what franchise they've been watching for the last 40+ years.
I realize as much as anybody that even the fans of Trek had grown tired of reset buttons and such. But, they are as much a part of Trek lore as the characters themselves. The moment you introduce time travel into this film you essentially accept that time is going to get mucked up and it will be up to the crew of the ship to fix it.
By mid film, three characters in the film know how the timeline is supposed to go... Nero, Old Spock, and Kirk (by virtue of Spock's mind meld), yet neither of the two good guys thinks it's important enough to fix, which, they could have done with a couple of small changes at the end.
Overall, I think the movie had potential to not only do what Abrams wanted (which it obviously has) but retain some assemblance of the traditional as well. It didn't need to be the either-or situation that it became.
So, ultimately, I guess if I cared more about great visuals and decent action than I did about a story that makes sense and has an actual moral message consistent with the franchise's history, I would probably like this movie. Otherwise, it's pretty lacking.
In the end, I'm glad I didn't pay for it.

|home | Tea Party Economist | Kilowatt Money: Another Zombie Fiat . . .
Kilowatt Money: Another Zombie Fiat Money Scheme.
Reality Check
The conservative movement had always been filled with monetary cranks. This has been true for well over a century.
These cranks have never read a book on economics. They have never taken a class in economics. They have zero practical experience in finance.
They come before the conservative public and present crackpot schemes of monetary inflation, all in the name of conservatism.
Their victims are equally unread, equally unskilled amateurs who think, "Gee, that sounds great! Let's do it."
Let's do what? These cranks never have a plan to get from here to there: the Promised Land. They are like Moses with no escape route into the Promised Land by way of the wilderness. They want to wave a magic wand and get True Money (always capitalized).
These crackpot schemes all partake of the same flaw. They want a government-appointed committee of unelected experts to set up the money and banking system at a zero interest rate. Usually, they want a central bank run by engineers and government statisticians. But all of these schemes rely on government statisticians. All of them reject a gold coin standard where owners of private property -- gold coins and bank accounts -- are in charge.
These crackpot schemes begin with this presupposition, which is never admitted by any of the designers: "We do not trust private property and the free market. We trust only government experts." Their zombie followers line up. "Yes, yes, we too believe only in government-employed experts. This is because we are conservatives." Then out into they night they march, looking for other conservatives with brains to eat. They find them. They always find them.
The bank reformers have no political support for their schemes. But they spend time describing the wonders of their system. They call on people to get behind it. Except for a few crackpot schemes, such as Social Credit or Greenbackism, no one ever joins the political movement. There is no political movement. There are only mindless zombies.
Here is a recent example: "Electricity As Currency? 10 Reasons It Could Work." This was subtitled: "Energy-backed currency concept"
It began with a deliberate deception.
Remember the good old days when gasoline only cost $1.50/gallon way back in the ancient times of 2000? Why does it cost more than double that today ($3.71)? A gallon of gas is still a gallon of gas, so it seems obvious that the dollar has lost value.
If you are going to prove currency depreciation by an appeal to statistics, use the Consumer Price Index or the Median CPI. The CPI is most common. Using the Inflation Calculator on the site of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we learn that consumer prices since 2000 have risen by 35%. That is 2.3% per year. This is bad, but it is not anything like mass inflation.
The anonymous writer goes on:
This rapid devaluation of the U.S. dollar makes it an unstable medium of exchange and certainly not a good store of value -- two aspects considered to be the main functions of money. This has led many to examine the flaws of the current monetary system and search for possible alternatives.
This is not rapid devaluation. This is steady-as-you-go monetary depreciation. Hardly anyone notices. Hardly anyone cares.
Some have suggested that returning to the Gold Standard (pegging the dollar to gold) will help control the fraudulent expansion of the money supply and protect the value of the currency.
This is familiar. There is both economic theory and economic history that supports this view.
Others say eliminating the interest attached to each dollar created will get rid of scarcity and provide abundance.
This is Greenbackism.
Each of these ideas has merit since they correct some of what's broken, yet they both also have flaws which make them difficult to fully support.
Greenbackism is totally wrong. It is intellectually bankrupt. Ellen Brown is a prominent Greenbacker. For my detailed refutation of her economic theory and her historical inventions, which she has never answered, go here: http://www.garynorth.com/public/department141.cfm. (She in fact is a Leftist. She has come out in favor of Bernanke's QE programs.)
These schemes invariably quote engineers and scientists who never wrote a detailed theory of economics.
One interesting alternative that has been proposed is using an energy-backed currency. The idea is not new. Thomas Edison envisioned an "energy dollar" after seeing the value of electricity, and Henry Ford also conceptualized backing a currency by a "unit of energy" instead of gold. Motivated by the failed monetary system during the Great Depression, Ford even planned to support the idea with his own electric dams. Of course the central bankers scolded Ford's idea because it threatened their schemes.
Henry Ford knew nothing about economic theory. Neither did his friend Edison. They were engineers. They wrote no treatises defending their positions.
In more recent times the idea of using electricity as a currency has gained some traction. An online ebook Energy Backed Money was published in 2009 supporting the concept of backing the dollar with electricity. Kilowatt Cards were introduced as gift cards for electric power meant to be a transferable means of currency. And former NASA scientist, Michael Rivero, proposed the Lectro, a universal electricity based currency whose supply is controlled by production and use of electric power.
Again, these are engineers with no economic theory to support their views.
These critics have discovered a central flaw in the modern economy: government-licensed fractional reserve banking. But they never identify the source: government licenses to commit fraud of money creation. They offer no theory of free banking or 100% reserve banking. They never alert their readers to the central fact: these institutions are created by government intervention. There is a reason for this. They always call for a "nrew, improved" government-created, government-managed monopoly over fiat money creation. Here is their unstated but always-present assumption: "You can trust the government." You can, but you shouldn't.
First, the attack on fractional reserves.
Currently, Federal Reserve Notes (dollars) are not backed by anything valuable and their value is determined primarily by how much supply is in circulation. The supply of money under our current system is lent into existence as fast or as slow as the bankers or the government determines, leaving a lot of room for manipulation.
Here is the problem: there is lots of room for manipulation. This is the problem with every system of money that is not a commodity-based money system that is governed by the free market.
Significantly, all money is lent into existence with interest owed to central bankers.
This is always the creation of national governments. There is a simple solution: revoke the legislation. Nothing else? Nothing else. This was how Andrew Jackson got rid of the Second Bank of the United States in 1836. When it lost its government license, it went bankrupt.
Second, an attack on the existence of interest rates, which in fact are an inescapable aspect of human action -- a discount applied to expected future income -- as Ludwig von Mises taught.
But this interest is money yet to be created in the system so there are never enough dollars in the system to pay off the debt accrued from the creation of the dollars themselves. This creates a false scarcity and the perpetual need to expand the money supply, which then breeds inflation. This simultaneous scarcity and inflation have a tremendously negative impact on the economy, especially for the poor. Ultimately, it's this interest on every dollar created that inherently enslaves us all to the central bankers who hadn't produced anything of value to demand our servitude.
This is crackpottery. It says that there should be no interest rate. There is always a discount for time. The surest mark of a crackpot is the call for a rate of interest of zero. There are no exceptions to this rule. Whenever you see a call for zero interest, you are seeing the equivalent of a call for a perpetual motion machine.
The only way to solve the inefficiencies of the current system is to use a currency that has real value, whose supply is tied to an accurate economic indicator, and doesn't need interest attached just for the sake of creating it.
This attack on interest denies a fundamental category of human action: "now, not later." This was refuted by Austrian School economists in the late 19th century. Read Chapter XIX of Mises's book, Human Action.
Fourth, the call for a non-market standard of economic value.
Electricity has measurable value in our society and since everything in our modern world runs on power, it may be the most accurate gauge of economic activity we have.
No, it doesn't. Nothing in this world has a measurable value. There is no yardstick of economic value. Value is subjective. It is constantly changing, because individuals keep changing their scale of values as conditions change, including their tastes.
An electricity-backed currency would not be nearly as complicated as our fractional reserve system. It could work something like this: electric producers could issue certificates (money) as kilowatts are produced and they would be removed from circulation once the electric bill is paid (redeeming their receipts), thus always maintaining a consistent and stable supply.
Kilowatts are not measures of economic value. They are a measure of physical flow. The measurement of this flow is in no way the measure of value. The free market establishes economic value.
In good times, these units of electricity keep getting cheaper. The price of a kilowatt in 1910 was a lot higher than it is today. So, there is fixed economic value. Electricity is always getting cheaper. When money gets cheaper, prices rise. This is price inflation.
Here are 10 reasons for an electricity based currency:
1. It Has Real Value: Electricity has recognizable value for every person on Earth, as opposed to gold or silver which are just pretty metals with some minor industrial uses.
Whenever you see Real Value capitalized, you know the person has no economic theory. The writer capitalizes it because he cannot defend it intellectually. Capital letters are supposed to remove the idea from criticism. Yes, there is no real value in electricity -- or anything else that commands a price. That is because real value is subjective. It is real, but it is not capitalized. I have real value. You have real value. Your name is capitalized. Your value isn't. (It is OK to capitalize True Value, if you are referring to a hardware store.)
2. Easily Measurable Units: A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is an absolute unit that can be measured easily and is impossible to counterfeit. The average cost of electricity in the United States has remained relatively stable (mainly due to regulations) over the last few years at around $0.13 per kilowatt hour. But we must stop thinking in terms of measuring things in dollars for this concept to become clear. This currency would represent a kWh, not a dollar amount.
A kilowatt is easily measured by an electrical power company. It is not measurable at all by you or me. We are told by the power company that we must accept its absolute figures. "Believe it, peons, and pay up, or else we will cut off your power!"
Do not forget this phrase: lots of room for manipulation.
3. Universal Flexibility: An electric-backed currency can work just as well as a local competing currency or as a global medium of exchange. Since a kWh of power has the same value all over the world, a kWh certificate issued in Hawaii could theoretically be redeemed anywhere.
Will it work in rural India? Rural China? Sub-Sahara Africa? No? Then it is not universal.
4. Supply Can't Be Manipulated: The electric money supply would naturally be tied to population growth and economic productivity because electricity is an indicator of those measures. Money (kWh notes) would be created when new electricity is produced and eliminated from the economy when electric bills are paid, maintaining a stable balance.
What measures? What productivity? Whose productivity? Mine or yours? What price? Isn't the price of electricity supposed to fall? Whose population? Population in rural China? Mali? Germany? Also, whose statistics? Collected by whom? Using what facts-collecting formula?
Manipulation? The entire system is based on government statistics.
5. Cannot Be Monopolized: Central banking monopolies are at the heart of many economic problems around the world where entire nations are held hostage by these singular entities. Even though electricity has a universal global value, it would be impossible to monopolize the production of kilowatts.
Power companies are all monopolies. The industry is a monopoly larger than any other.
6. Decentralized: Literally, anyone can produce electricity if they choose to do so. Although larger organizations may be necessary to handle the issuance or certification of kWh notes, independent energy producers would compete to produce electricity as efficiently as possible.
How does the money system factor in the production of electricity by every source? How does money have "Real Value" in such a system? There is no way to assess such Real Value. This is all talk, no proof.
7. Spurs Innovation: The incentive to create electricity would spur incredible innovation in technology. Rivero, of the Lectro, suggests perhaps more valuable certificates could be issued for electricity derived from clean technology to incentivize its expansion. And if by some chance a source of "free energy" is discovered - fantastic - it could still be measured and used to control the supply of money.
Then the economic value of every kilowatt will fall. All of this increase of production means mass inflation: the falling value of money.
8. Spurs Conservation: When electric power literally equals money, everyone will immediately become more conscious of their energy use. This alone would have a tremendous benefit on the environment.
On the contrary, the cheaper a resource is, the less that anyone is willing to pay to conserve it. This is a fundamental law of economics. We conserve valuable assets, not cheap ones. This is why we use so much electricity. It is incredibly cheap in relation to the benefits it delivers.
9. Transportable: Pure gold and silver (commodity money) are not practical physical currencies because large quantities are not easily carried in our pockets. kWh notes would be a paper form of "receipt" or "representative" money where the note can be redeemed for something real and measurable. Fully-backed receipt money is historically viewed as the only form of honest paper money.
So, I am issued paper receipts to electric "money" that were issued by the U.S. government. I am supposed to take these receipts, written in English, to rural India and rural China. I am supposed to believe that some rural villager will accept my paper money receipts for electricity, which he cannot use. Is he an idiot? Offer him a gold or silver coin, and he will sell lots of things. Offer him a piece of paper with an image of Ready Kilowatt, and he will hand it back.
10. Creates wealth instead of poverty during the transition from human labor to machine labor. As we move towards more automation, we become more reliant on electricity and less on human labor. Rivero postulates "At present, human labor precedes all capital, payable in a monetary system that pays primarily for human labor. In switching to a monetary system that pays for machine based power production, we evolve towards a society where machines become the primary creators of capital, and all humans shift towards the demand side of the economy. Instead of creating poverty, the push towards automation creates more wealth."
We all know that tools (capital) produce goods and services. So, this statement is nothing unique: "machines create capital." But Rivero is 100% wrong about another supposed fact, namely, that fiat money is based only on payments for labor. Paper fiat money is only for ink, paper, and a printing press. Digital money requires a computer. This becomes money through government fiat: "You must accept this as money." This is why we call it fiat money.
Rivero does not know what he is talking about.
The proposal calls for demand-side economics: economics without productivity. This is magic. This is something for nothing. This is stones into bread. In short, this is Keynesianism.
All of these fiat-money schemes rely on a Keynesian concept of demand-side economics: productivity by spending fiat money. Yet zombie conservatives embrace these schemes, never having read Keynes's General Theory (1936) or Keynesian textbooks. "This is conservatism," they are told, and they believe it.
Does a currency backed by kWh's of electricity seem viable enough to be used as a possible alternative to our broken monetary system? Tell us what you think in the comments.
These are my comments. Thanks for asking.
This is utter crackpottery.
You can store gold coins. Unless you have heavy batteries, you cannot store electricity.
Like all crackpot monetary reforms, this one requires control over money by experts -- in this case, government-controlled electrical power companies and government statisticians.
The average conservative activist is utterly ignorant of basic economics. He has not read a book on economics. He is not familiar with economic history. He goes to websites he trusts and finds monetary crackpottery. He thinks it must be great stuff because the site attacks central banking.
I have called the promoters of these systems "zombies." Zombies are the walking dead who seek to eat people's brains.
This may be more accurate: these people are sheep. They are the targets of predators -- or at least bigger sheep.
The anonymous person who wrote this essay was wise to remain anonymous.

Contributing To This Entry
Athletic regularfoot pro surfer from New South Wales, Australia; world-ranked #2 in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Fitzgibbons was born (1990) and raised in Gerroa, and began surfing at age six with her dad and her three older brothers. She was a star long distance runner in high school, winning a gold medal in track at the 2007 Australian Youth Olympics. Soon after, she turned her laser-beam focus to competitive surfing, winning the 2007 World Junior title and the 2008 World Qualifying Series, earning a slot on the elite world tour in 2009.
By 2010, Fitzgibbons was among the favorites at each tour event, and she finished the year ranked second, behind reigning world champion Stephanie Gilmore. In 2011 she won the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach ("first time I've had tears of joy," Fitzgibbons told Transworld Surf magazine), and again claimed the runner-up position at season's end, this time to Carissa Moore. She repeated her Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach win in 2012, defeating Gilmore in the final.
The always-smiling Fitzgibbons plays the sexy card at times, but prefers a clean and wholesome approach; she doesn't drink, is friendly in media interviews, and is a prolific social media user, cheerfully Tweeting support for her favorite Aussie pro sports teams. In 2012, she was named Female Surfer of the Year at the Australian Surfing Awards.
Fitzgibbons has appeared in a handful of surf videos including Dear and Yonder (2009); she was also in in the 2011 straight-to-DVD movie Blue Crush 2.

The Golden Dawn, whose symbol bears a close resemblance to the swastika, won 7 percent of the vote and will send 19 delegates to the 300-member parliament. Golden Dawn opposes not just the austerity plan, but also the "so-called Enlightenment" and the Industrial Revolution. As firecracker-wielding young toughs with shaven heads demonstrated outside, Golden Dawn leader Nikos Michaloliakos announced from an Athens hotel that "the time for fear has come." Warning, "Greece is only the beginning," Michaloliakos promised to make war on "world usurers," referring perhaps to the International Monetary Fund, which has imposed strictures on Greece as part of a multibillion-euro bailout package.
On the same end of the spectrum (the political spectrum is a circle, not an axis), Syriza, or the Coalition of the Radical Left, won16.4 percent of the vote and 51 seats in parliament -- triple its previous total. Like Golden Dawn, Syriza trafficks in implied and sometimes actual violence. The names of its component parties pretty much tell its story: Synaspismos (Coalition of the Left of Movements and Ecology); AKOA (Renewing Communist Ecological Left); KOE (Communist Organization of Greece); DEA (Internationalist Workers' Left); Ecosocialists Greece; DIKKI (Democratic Social Movement), and so on.
Greece may be the loose thread that unravels the garment. Economist Desmond Lachman, formerly of the IMF and now at the American Enterprise Institute, is concerned that if Greece does not comply with its obligations, the sovereign debt crisis in Europe will be dramatically deepened, with contagion dragging the continent into another financial crisis from which the U.S. would not be shielded.
Unlike floods and earthquakes, this disaster is entirely manmade and utterly avoidable. Europe is tremendously wealthy and productive, but Europeans sabotaged themselves by embracing the foolish idea that they could have an economic union without a political union. They are also paying the price for failing to come to terms with actuarial realities; their populations are graying. Without reforms of pension and other benefits, they cannot sustain their standard of living. Rather than face their own corruption, the Greeks principally, but also other Europeans, are disintegrating into raging extremists blaming anyone and everyone else.
That's the object lesson for us. Here, Barack Obama and the Democratic Party are promising Americans more of this fool's gold -- limitless government benefits with costs imposed on someone else ("the rich" or future generations). It's an engraved invitation to Athens.

Margot H
It is a long day and somewhat tedious getting people on and off the truck - but I think it is a must if you have the time. Our guide was great and I learned a lot about the area and the people.
Mary Helen M
Other than we were booked for a Tuesday and didn't take the trip until Thursday, the experience was very worthwhile. We only found out about the change when we called to confirm our pickup time. The guide and driver were excellent. The information was very interesting and well presented. I would recommend this trip.
Vannette H
I really enjoyed the monster truck safari - my tour guide was the best, polite and funny. I was looking for speed, but the tour of the cities was interesting and fun.
Blaine S
It was great to get out and see how people live in the Dominican Republic!
Frank S
It was great to get out and see the actual Dominican! Very informative!
Christopher U
This was a lot of fun, safe and very informative. Well done and very enjoyable. Probably your only chance as a tourist to see the real Dominican Republic.
Jozef S
United Kingdom
Quite interesting.
Bonnie H
It was nice to be able to book this before we left for the trip instead of having to settle for what the hotel offered.
Ken J
A very relaxing day. Our tour guide did a splendid job of informing us of the culture, people and types of crops, etc. I would recommend this tour to anyone. We had no problems booking it or being pick up.
Claire S
United Kingdom
Great day out.
James B
It's a good day, but a long one. Our tour guide was great, very informative.
The tour was awesome. It made the trip for us. Just make sure you have all the info with you, and have your hotel call to confirm a few days before. Our resort hadn't used Viator much, and at first the tour operator didn't accept our voucher. Luckily, the hotel staff called and worked it out, but we missed our tour and had to go the following day, which was OK because we had booked the trip several days before we had to leave, so we had some leeway. Otherwise, this was our favorite excursion by far!
Bob S
We had a good guide and a nice trip.
This tour was shorter than they had it listed and you do a lot of driving. I highly recommend bringing plenty of school supplies for the school kids as they are in great need and it was nice to see the look of joy on their faces. The places we went to were nice to see no high pressure sales it just seemed like we spent more time driving that anything. All in all not a bad tour our tour guide was ok.
This trip really gives you a true picture of the culture there. Everyone was very friendly
this was very good but it was a long day bring lots of water interesting on seeing how coffee , chocolate and cigars are made in the jungle
This was a decent trip but not a five star adventure. We started the trip with a stop at a souvenir stand, followed by a trip to a small village where we were encouraged to buy gifts for the school children. After we toured the school and heard the tale of the desperate poverty of the teacher (he makes about 3x what my GF makes in Russia as a teacher) we toured a marijuana/cocoa farm and heard the same tale of poverty as I watched a $20 bill change hands between the truck driver and the farmer (I saw that 4 times for each truck - $80 in one hour is not poverty). The authentic lunch was beans and rice with some overcooked chicken.
There was "horse back riding" but the horse was too tired to do anything but plod along and I felt sorry for them as I could see that they needed medical attention...
The high point was visiting the beach - it is nicer than the one I was paying to visit at the resort. White sand that felt like silk under my feet, almost no seaweed, and crystal blue water.
Johnny BeGood and Miguel were great. If I did another tour I would ask for them. Maybe they do ziplining? ;)
Advertisement led us to believe we going to ne goimg through water and much safari experience. We were disappointed.
I really don't know why this tour is so highly rated on Viator, we went on three other excursions – this was the worst one.
Our trip was rescheduled (seems to be common) to a day earlier on 03/22/2012 and it was the coldest rainiest day of our week-long trip. Cold dripping water from the ceiling made the truck ride extremely uncomfortable – we got soaked. Because it was raining 1) we could not cross the river, and 2) the school was closed and when we went to another school, it also had closed early. Our tour guide said he gave the supplies we brought to the Principal – I just hope the kids got them. The lunch was also mediocre.
The one nice part of the excursion is driving through the working class area of Sosua. It's really neat to see and the children wave as you drive by. The house/farm we visited in Sosua was also interesting.
This trip would be okay if the weather is decent, but I believe Management should have given us the opportunity to reschedule or get a refund especially because we did not get a chance to go on parts of the tour that were advertised. Management said they would only cancel the trip for a HURRICANE WARNING. Really??
Even at a discounted price, this trip is certainly not worth US$78 + tax. If you're in Puerto Plata, I recommend you save your money for any of the three excursions mentioned above or maybe even a trip to Sosua.
Overall: Don't take a chance - if the weather is bad (don't forget they may reschedule your trip to any day) this excursion is horrible.
very good
Long day and really didn't learn much about the country. Tour guide gave little information as we traveled. Truck very loud making it difficlt to hear. Visit to see "the wizard" was obviously staged. Felt the cock fight was inapproriate. Not worth the time and money.
Although we had a lot of fun, the excursion was handled in a very unprofessional way. We did not do half the things described on the website when we signed up. The "tour guide" was sort of silly in an uncomfortable way. He must have made reference to "Poo poo and Pee pee" a half dozen times. Also seemed to enjoy farting noises. Really? For $90 apiece? It was because of the people I was with that we had fun.
honestly it was disappointing. To begin with, they pick you up in an unmarked van and the driver doesn't have paperwork with our names on it (this is dangerous for 2 ladies in a foreign country), although its called Safari, there are no animals whatsoever. There were stops made that I would have preferred not doing if I would have been told in advance such as visiting a Voodoo house (referred to as white magic), touring a home in the mountains (while the woman of the house looked disturbed) does not give you an idea of how the average Dominican lives. I think the tour needs more excitement and adventure.

And in November 2008, he was elected the next President of the United States. Barack Obama in His Own Words is a book of quotes from the Illinois Senator that allows those who aren't as familiar with his politics to learn quickly where he stands on abortion, religion, AIDS, his critics, foreign policy, Iraq, the War on Terror, unemployment, gay marriage, and a host of other important issues facing America and the world. Informative and easy to read, this is the perfect potted history for those who don't have time to read the biography of America's first Black President. Lisa Rogak is the author of In His Own Words: Colin Powell and Howard Dean In His Own Words. Her works have been reviewed and otherwise mentioned in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Family Circle, and hundreds of other publications. She lives in Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Impatient Optimist: Bill Gates in His Own Wordsby Lisa Rogak
Bill Gates, the founder and former CEO of Microsoft, has been a revered, and occasionally controversial, worldwide business icon for more than three decades.Recognized by most as an ingenious visionary, and painted by some as a tyrannical, less-than-scrupulous empire builder, Gates has had an unignorable impact on the growth of digital technology in daily life over the past 30 years. Even his sharpest critics have to acknowledge the obvious: Gates helped spearhead one of the greatest revolutions in modern history by seizing on the importance of software to the rise of the personal computer, along the way turning an arcane, specialized technology into a commonplace tool for the office and home.Gates has long been ranked as one of the world's wealthiest men--which gave him a name recognition far greater than that of most CEOs--and businesspeople of all stripes have looked to him as a role model, using his words and business strategies to help create, inspire, and grow their own companies. After he stopped running Microsoft's day-to-day operations in 2008 to devote himself full-time to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a kinder, gentler Gates began to emerge. As a result, people actively involved in the philanthropic world, whether in professional, part-time, or personal capacities, began to develop a new appreciation for the man.Bill Gates's second act is no less compelling than his first. And whether you're interested in his personal life or looking for inspiration to drive you forward in your own business endeavors, Impatient Optimist: Bill Gates in His Own Words has much to offer. As the tech giants who distinguished the turn of the 21st century shape public life in ways that outstrip the efforts of the previous century's titans of industry, we look to figures like Gates for inspiration as one of America's greatest business icons. This book will surely feed the world's curiosity about one of the most important leaders of the digital age.
Michelle Obama in her Own Wordsby Lisa Rogak Michelle Obama
The election of Barack Obama has brought worldwide attention not only to what his policies will be, but to what kind of First Lady Michelle Obama will be. Throughout the long campaign season, Michelle Robinson Obama garnered a good amount of attention, kudos and criticism about her words, actions, even her appearance, but few people know what kind of role she will play once she settles into the White House. One clue is to examine her words and statements of the past, and the proposed book Michelle Obama In Her Own Words will show readers who are eager to learn more about America's new history-making First Lady. Michelle Obama In Her Own Words will be a book that contains 200-250 quotations arranged in approximately 75 different categories. A short introduction and biography of the new First Lady will precede the quotes. Drawing on quotations from a variety of newspaper and magazine articles, transcripts, speeches, and TV interviews and profiles, the quotations date from Michelle's career as a high-powered corporate lawyer in Chicago and her high-powered executive jobs in the Chicago Mayor's office and at the University of Chicago, up through the election of November 5th, 2008. Rogak locates and organizes the funny, fascinating, inspiring (and occasionally controversial) words of our future First Lady, on topics such as:* Abortion* Affirmative Action* Balancing career and family* Barack's safety* Being compared to Jackie Onassis* Her childhood* Her critics* Her fashion sense* Hillary Clinton* Iraq* Racism* Rev. Jeremiah Wright* Sarah Palin* Terrorism* The "elitist" tag* The Presidential campaign* The role of the First Lady* Women who have influenced her
Michelle Obama in Her Own Words: The Views and Values of America's First Ladyby Lisa Rogak Michelle Obama
This fascinating, often-funny and sometimes-controversial collection of quotations from Michelle Obama gives a revealing insight into the life and mind of the new First Lady. Featuring her thoughts on the election campaign and how she sees her role in the White House, this timely and inspirational compendium draws on a range of sources including press interviews, speeches and Michelle's own writing to share her reflections on:- the juggling act between work and motherhood- her own journey from Chicago's South Side to Princeton and Harvard- the women who have influenced her, and- controversial issues such as racism and the war in Iraq. It's an inspiring collection that gives a quick and fascinating glimpse into this intriguing woman's view of the world.
Pope Francis in His Own Wordsby Lisa Rogak Julie Schwietert Collazo
The moment the identity of the newly elected 266th pontiff was revealed, it was clear to the thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square, and to the watching world, that this pope was different in fascinating and exciting ways -- the first from Latin America, the first Jesuit, and the first to take the name Francis, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. When Pope Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, spoke from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, he greeted his audience colloquially: "Brothers and sisters, good evening." He told a joke, commenting that his fellow cardinals had "gone to the ends of the earth" to find him. Then, downplaying his power and position, he proceeded not to bless the crowd but to ask them for their blessing: "I ask a favor of you," he said, bowing humbly. "Let us make, in silence, this prayer: your prayer over me." Francis has repeatedly foregone the fancy dress, lavish accommodations, and other luxuries of his position, emphasizing pastoral work with the sick and the poor and always seeking to empower the underdog (including his favorite soccer team in Buenos Aires -- San Lorenzo). This revealing collection of his own words, gathered from sermons, interviews, and the Pope's books, prompts understanding and insight into his way of being and believing -- and inspires goodwill, love, and hope.

Way to early for a Christmas morning but Jak, the Jack Russell Terrorist had to go out NOW at 5am…Think he has a bit of a bug or something.. So after wandering around the backyard for 15 minutes before he found the 'spot' to go, I was wide awake and knew it would be pointless to return to bed…
As I sit here meandering through the web in a quiet house a began to think about Christmas and it's true meaning.
The birth of our Savior, Jesus.
And Christmas of 2004 popped into my head.
Was both the worse and best Christmas ever for our family. That August my wife had her annual checkup and the bad news we delivered. Breast cancer.
Was devastating to us. Our boys at the time were 12 and 9 years old. We had recently joined a new church, Rejoice! of Northfield, which turned out to be a blessing as the Pastors and members immediately rallied around us as did my co-workers and our friends.
This was on the heels of losing my sister, the eldest of my 3 younger sisters to cancer in 2003. So with that fresh on our minds we all were pretty scared.
As my wife progressed through surgeries, the first being a lumpectomy for what they believed was DCIS, it was found the margins were were not 'clean'. She had another and it was discovered she had another tumor in the breast that was also cancerous, a radical mastectomy was preformed.
Then chemo, months of chemo, gawdawful chemo.
She obviously was unable to work and her employers, the School District and Nursing home, were very good about giving her off what she needed and my coworkers with the Ambulance willingly took my shifts for me whenever I needed to be home with here. Our eldest withdrew into himself and refused to talk about it and our youngest began to have a host of issues, migraines, intestinal problems constant MD visits and a few ER visits trying to figure out what was wrong.
As we progressed towards Christmas, we knew with the loss of wages, both jobs were part time for her, so not sick or vacation time. Money became tighter and tighter, my insurance paid the medical bill, hate to think what it would be like today with ObamaScare but things were getting tight.
One night we discussed Christmas and determined it was not going to be filled with joy or presents..And we explained such to the boys, whom understood and accepted it.
But I didn't, made me angry, at the cancer for what it was doing.
Our church family was so supportive, meals brought over, members helping with getting the boys to and fro and being at our house for them when they came home from school and we were at an appointment or chemo treatment. My youngest son's guitar teacher was there for him each and every lesson plus more.
As Christmas approached one of my partners at worked asked me about Christmas and I told her the truth. We weren't really going to have one at home.
As Christmas Day slowly crept closer things were quiet and somber, we did pick up a few gifts. Then one evening the doorbell rang and it was two of my co-workers, Ann a paramedic and Theresa a nurse from the ER. They came bearing gifts, in the form of gift cards and cash. Around 400.00 dollars worth if I remember right.
My wife and I were overwhelmed.
It is hard to describe what went through our minds and the happiness we felt that maybe, just maybe this Christmas would not be so bleak!!
So we went shopping. spending little on each other, but lots on the boys.
One evening at the local Target we ran into a couple we had met through Youth Baseball, the Dad and I had been co coaching for a couple of years together. They had a cart full of 'stuff', were happy to see us. We chatted a bit and headed home.
Shortly after we got home the doorbell rang. It was them and the cart full of stuff was for the boys…
Christmas arrived and we spent Christmas Eve with wife's family. Was good. As had been the celebration with my family. Wife was tired and not feeling so good from the chemo, but happy.
Christmas Day at home was wonderful. The boys opened their presents with wide eyes and wondering how we pulled this off. But we smiled and told them Santa Claus must have felt they had been really good that years…
They gave us the 'look', the 'come on Mom and Dad we know better!!'
But it was all good and we were 'blessed' that Christmas, by friends, family and folks we did not even know. We were gifted gift certificates to go out and eat and folks made sure wife and I had time for each other, kidnapping the boys and chasing us away.. Christmas 2004.
One we'll never forget..
And my wife has been a survivor, cancer free for ten years!!!

what the hell is going on?

What the hell? This is ridiculous. How the hell am I going to do all this and pay for food too? I'm crying right now because I cant believe this.
$400 Phone Bill?!?!?? I would say cut back on stuff, get different cheaper service for sure!!
Ask for help from family.
Looks like you need to cut some stuff off and make a payment plan with them if they are going to be that high just being a month behind. We can go two months without paying our bills and they still would never be that high but thats also because we know how to live within our means and not above them

I'm only a month behind on bills. But damn this is crazy.

The Serbian, who will leave the programme after the Games, named seven foreign-born players in his squad, with goalkeeper Bobby White named as captain.
Jesper Parker and Robin Garnham are both Swedish-born, while German-born Chris Mohr is also included with Martin Hare and Steven Larsson, born in Norway.
French-born pair Seb Edgar and Gawain Vincent are also picked while former captain and playmaker Ciaran Williams, the only domestic-based player, makes it alongside line-player Chris McDermott, who had an injury interrupted season in Iceland.
Handball – an Olympic sport since 1972 – will be held at the Copper Box on the Olympic Park and Team Gb will throw-off against champions France on July 29.
Djukic – who also named Nicholas Satchwell as reserve – believes it was a difficult decision finalising his 14-man squad.
He said: "It was the hardest decision in my life, because our players have invested the last six years of their lives in the GB programme.
"We have a chance up to the quarter-final to change injured player with any player from the long list, (which) gave us the chance to reward the 15 players who invested the most over this period.
"In the end, the best 14 are selected and now it is time for concentration and to add the final touches for the start of the Olympic Tournament and the opening game against World and Olympic Champions France."
Wirral-born McDermott believes selection is reward for the sacrifices he has made in his career since joining the GB programme.
"For me this selection means the world," he said.
"I joined the handball program in 2006 and since then there have been so many ups and downs, but this makes all the nights sleeping on floors or couches so worthwhile
"To actually make it all the way and be selected for the Olympic Games was the best feeling in the world.
"However that is not to say the hard work is over, we are still in Serbia training at 100 per cent because we know the challenge that lies ahead of us won't be easy.
"Our official target is a top eight finish and if we can make that, great, but at this stage we need to be more focused the performance aspect of the games."

Serena vs. Marissa
Beautiful site!
Incredible site!
blake is a million times more beautiful! she has a good personality also. even though its a bad pic of her
Perfect work!
marissa/mischa is gorgeous. everyone knows gossip girl is the oc in a different location. marissa is 10 times prettier then blake even though blake is still beautiful.
Serena is more beautiful and gorgeous
I like blake more. she's more natural.
Bad photo of Blake, but she, as Serena, delivers without a doubt a much more energetic and convincing performance of a bright, healthy school girl, than Misha ever did. The way they move is not comparable at all.

Two people face charges for stealing from several Lexington stores.
Police say the shoplifters hit at least six stores Tuesday at Hamburg Pavilion. A pair have now been arrested for stealing hundreds of dollars worth of items.
"There was stuff all over the place," says Beverly Dalton, a shopper. "It's pretty wild people can be that bold."
Clothes and accessories were all gathered on top of the suspects' car, with sales associates coming one by one picking up items taken from their store.
Police say a man and a woman are behind bars facing felony theft charges, but employees say the shoplifting problem overall is growing and doesn't end there. They say there has been a recent spike in shoplifting at the Hamburg Pavilion.
Some are hoping stores will heighten security to keep thieves from coming back.
Police have identified the two people charged with felony theft as 20-year-old Darren Butler and 19-year-old Tara Hill.
Hill also faces drug charges.
