Carmela Panico owns the Java Juggs and Twin Peaks "bikini baristas." She was arrested in June and accused of promoting prostitution, but she has not been charged. The cash was seized in a search of her home in Snohomish.
The Daily Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1cGnwIP) the lawsuit was filed after Panico was notified that the city planned to keep the cash as proceeds from criminal activity.
Coffee shops in the Seattle area introduced bikini baristas several years ago, hiring attractive young women to serve up steamy espressos and lattes while wearing as little as a G-string and pasties.

Is Lindsay Lohan Working as an "Escort" to Pay Her Bills?
The rarely-reliable "Star" tabloid says that LINDSAY LOHAN is working as a high-priced ESCORT in order to pay her bills.
--Now, nobody's saying she's giving up the goods. As far as anyone knows, she's just being paid to be arm candy for rich guys.
--Lindsay's "clients" have included one of the princes of Brunei . . . who supposedly paid her $100,000 to spend New Year's with him in London . . .
--And a Spanish-American painter named Domingo Zapata . . . who has let Lindsay crash at his apartments in New York and L.A. in exchange for . . . well, whatever.
--A sources says, quote, "The dates last for days, and the guys pay for everything . . . hotel, travel costs, food, whatever . . . as well as jewelry and other gifts."
Brent Musburger is Not Sorry for Ogling Katherine Webb During the BCS Title Game
BRENT MUSBURGER makes no apologies for commenting on Miss Alabama KATHERINE WEBB'S attractiveness during the BCS Title game.
--Asked if he thought his comments were inappropriate, Brent said NO.
--As for ESPN's apology, he said, quote, "Individuals say what individuals say. And corporations do what corporations do. Obviously, they felt it was the right thing for them to do."
Nicole Kidman Didn't Think Peeing on Zac Efron in "The Paperboy" Was a Big Deal
In the movie "The Paperboy", NICOLE KIDMAN pees on ZAC EFRON after he gets stung by jellyfish. You'd think that would be a tough scene to film, but for Nicole, it was just another day at the office.
--She says, quote, "I just don't find urination shocking. I think I peed in the beginning of 'Eyes Wide Shut', too. But then, I don't find a lot of things shocking! Violence is a lot more shocking than sex . . . sex is primal."
--She adds, quote, "I felt shy singing in 'Moulin Rouge!', but peeing . . . no, not shy."
--In unrelated news, Nicole was also asked whether Scientology played a part in her divorce from TOM CRUISE.
--She said, quote, "I've chosen not to speak publicly about Scientology. I have two children who are Scientologists and I utterly respect their beliefs."
Will Ferrell's Production Company Is Developing a "Morning Show" That Will Air at Midnight . . . and It's *Not* a Joke?
"TV Guide" says the USA Network is developing a new LATE NIGHT talk show . . . with WILL FERRELL'S production company . . . that will actually be modeled after MORNING talk shows.
--You know, like "Live with Kelly and Michael", and the fourth hour of "Today", which is hosted by KATHIE LEE GIFFORD and HODA KOTB. Basically, it's aiming to be "the first 'morning show' of the day" . . . literally . . . at 12:01 A.M.
--An "insider" says, quote, "They're dead serious. It'll have coffee cups, the whole thing. They want it to be a comedy-type program, but not a parody." There's no word on any hosts yet. Producers hope to hire a male-female hosting team soon.
Thursday TV Reminders
--"American Idol" [Auditions] . . . 8:00 to 10:00 P.M. on Fox.
--"Oprah's Next Chapter" . . . 9:00 to 10:30 P.M. on OWN. Lance Armstrong admits to using performance enhancing drugs. The second part airs tomorrow.
The Livestrong Foundation Speaks
The Livestrong Foundation finally broke its silence yesterday regarding what everyone expects to be LANCE ARMSTRONG'S big confession in the interview with OPRAH that airs tonight and tomorrow night.
--The cancer charity says, quote, "We expect Lance to be completely truthful and forthcoming in his interview and with all of us in the cancer community. We expect we will have more to say at that time.
--"Regardless, we are charting a strong, independent course forward that is focused on helping people overcome financial, emotional and physical challenges related to cancer.
--"Inspired by the people with cancer whom we serve, we feel confident and optimistic about the Foundation's future and welcome an end to speculation."
Jennifer Lopez Wants an Oscar
It sounds like JENNIFER LOPEZ is finally giving up on winning a Grammy . . . and moving on to an OSCAR.
--She says, quote, "I think everybody that has ever taken acting seriously would love to be recognized in that way. Of course! Why not?"
--It sounds like she's been planning her acceptance speech for YEARS. She says, quote, "It changes every so often over the years . . . Different people, different things."

22 U.S. Code § 8711 - Sense of Congress on enforcement of multilateral sanctions regime and expansion and implementation of sanctions laws
prev | next
It is the sense of Congress that the goal of compelling Iran to abandon efforts to acquire a nuclear weapons capability and other threatening activities can be effectively achieved through a comprehensive policy that includes economic sanctions, diplomacy, and military planning, capabilities and options, and that this objective is consistent with the one stated by President Barack Obama in the 2012 State of the Union Address: "Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal". Among the economic measures to be taken are—
(2) full, timely, and vigorous implementation of all sanctions enacted into law, including sanctions imposed or expanded by this Act or amendments made by this Act, through—
(A) intensified monitoring by the President and the designees of the President, including the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of State, and senior officials in the intelligence community (as defined in section 401a (4) of title 50), as appropriate;
(B) more extensive use of extraordinary authorities provided for under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and other sanctions laws;
(C) reallocation of resources to provide the personnel necessary, within the Department of the Treasury, the Department of State, and the Department of Commerce, and, where appropriate, the intelligence community, to apply and enforce sanctions; and
(3) urgent consideration of the expansion of existing sanctions with respect to such areas as—
(4) a focus on countering Iran's efforts to evade sanctions, including—
(A) the activities of telecommunications, Internet, and satellite service providers, in and outside of Iran, to ensure that such providers are not participating in or facilitating, directly or indirectly, the evasion of the sanctions regime with respect to Iran or violations of the human rights of the people of Iran;
(B) the activities of financial institutions or other businesses or government agencies, in or outside of Iran, not yet designated for the imposition of sanctions; and

I think HDR is far over done in most instances and I loathe HDR in realty photography. I've seen enough glowing furniture and wood flooring to make myself gag and my eyes tire. The sooner HDR falls out of favor, the sooner I can get back to looking at properties without getting a headache.
I've noticed more than one company that advertises vacation properties, forbid submissions that are un-life like. Sad that they have to spell it out, just so some people can get a clue that a room that looks so surreal that no one would be surprised if a unicorn walk at any given moment = too darn much HDR.

- "The low recoil automatic shotgun blends the power of a full shotgun shell with rapid fire to take down multiple targets easily. Explosive shells turn this already powerful weapon into a gun that shreds vehicles in their tracks."
- ―Description from the TBoGT website
The Automatic Shotgun is an assault shotgun featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is given by Yusuf Amir or bought from Armando Torres.
Based on the AA-12, the Automatic Shotgun is available in two forms: its more conventional form functions like a regular shotgun that fires buckshot, while the second, more devastating form, known as the Explosive Shotgun, is capable of firing "FRAG-12" explosive rounds that can inflict heavy damage on vehicles. Regular vehicles can only survive two direct hits from an Explosive Shotgun before catching fire. The rounds have massive concussive force, easily denting vehicles. The Automatic Shotgun can kill an enemy in one shot up close or strike an enemy down from a distance.
The regular Automatic Shotgun is a separate weapon from the Explosive Shotgun; this means that in order to switch ammunition, the player must discard their Automatic/Explosive Shotgun and lose their ammunition reserve (unless the weapon is picked up off the ground). Regular Automatic Shotguns are distinguished by red shotgun shells in the loading chamber, while Explosive Shotguns feature green shells.
Differences may also be noted in their ammunition capacities, while both variants are capable of holding 20 standard or explosive shells per magazine, the Automatic Shotgun can only hold 230 regular shells in reserve (the same carrying capacity as The Lost and Damned's Assault Shotgun, which can hold 8 rounds in the magazine and 242 rounds in reserve), while the explosive variant can hold up to 580 rounds in reserve. In terms of rate-of-fire, both variants fare identically, although neither of the variants fire fully automatic like the shotgun's real world counterpart or the Assault Shotgun (probably for balancing reasons). Rather, they behave like semi-automatics in a similar fashion to the Combat Shotgun in GTA IV.
The range on both variants in impressive for a shotgun. The buckshot variant has similar range to the Pistol, and will never take more than three shots to score a kill. The explosive shotgun has range outclassing SMGs, and will usually kill in just one shot, but occasionally it may require two shots, but never more.
- Armando Torres gives the player a regular version in "Corner Kids".
- The Explosive Variant is received from Yusuf Amir in the mission "High Dive" and again in "For the Man Who Has Everything". After "High Dive", the player can purchase explosive shells from Armando.
- Both variants of the Automatic Shotgun are also available in Multiplayer.
- Explosive variant spawns in Safehouse after completing 30 Drug Wars and "High Dive ".
- Luis Lopez asks Yusuf Amir for some more explosive shells in the mission For the Man Who Has Everything because Luis finds them impressive.
- If the player catches fire or falls while holding the Automatic Shotgun and fires it, the weapon will become fully automatic. Though this is a glitch, it is evidence that it was originally fully automatic. The rate of fire was possibly made slower to balance it out on multiplayer.
- Since it is a shotgun, it has the cocking animation of the Pump-Action Shotgun when blind firing, which is rather unrealistic as this shotgun has no pump.
- Depending on the ammunition, the sound of the Automatic Shotgun will vary.
- Using the explosive rounds, the shotgun can make a large dent into a car, taking at least two rounds for the vehicle to start to light on fire.

The newest edition of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die was released before the holidays, and we were delighted to find Micato Safaris listed as the tour operator of choice in one of our favourite game-viewing locations, the Maasai Mara.
This is the first update to the original 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, which was released in 2003—coincidentally, also the year Micato won the first of its eight Travel + Leisure #1 World's Best Awards. Travel writer Patricia Schultz and her team of researchers compiled the first edition as a geographically organized list of the best cultural, natural, historical and thrill-inducing sights and experiences in the world. It was an instant hit and a #1 New York Times Bestseller. It's no wonder: the title alone is a magnet to those with even a drop of wanderlust in their blood.
Presciently, the first edition of 1,000 Places also came out a full four years before the movie The Bucket List hit theaters and made the term an instant shorthand for a personal list of things each of us might wish to see or do before we kick the bucket.
The new edition has been updated with recently-introduced experiences, heretofore closed areas of the world, and hidden wonders. Certain existing sections have been refined. The up-to-the-minute best hostelries are featured. And Micato is honoured to have been included on the world's most widely-shared bucket list.
Indeed, we're noticing that travel writers everywhere are compiling their top bucket list-worthy destinations for the new year. And we couldn't have been more pleased to discover that we'd been included on another as well—Forbes.com journalist Larry Olmsted included Micato Safaris in his round-up of the top ten bucket list trips for 2012.
In fact, he was kind enough to write: "I would only travel to Africa with Micato Safaris…! I would not go with anyone else…"
Needless to say, while we're happy to be on every traveller's bucket list, we want to move the possibility of safari from your "wish list" to your "to do" list for 2012. Take a look at our safaris and give us a call—we're experts at bucket list wish fulfillment.

Banks in Tanzania have increase general provision of performing loans by 0.75 per cent despite an extremely low non-performing loan ratio of less than 0.50 per cent.
The remarks were made yesterday by Diamond Trust Bank Tanzania (DTB) chairman Abdul Samji during the launch of the bank's annual results, adding that Tanzania has continued to adopt prudent risk management practices.
"Focusing on alternative banking channels - this follows the launch of internet banking services in 2011 and the planned launch of mobile banking services later this year", Samji stressed.
According to him, DTB Tanzania would continue on its growth trajectory, anchored on expanding its network with the aim of covering all major commercial centers in Tanzania over the medium term.
Samji further stated that "the success achieved in the year 2011 is a re-affirmation of the twin-pronged long-term strategy of building a robust liability franchise and practicing a strong credit culture despite the adverse macroeconomic environment that set in at the tail end of the year".
On the back of sustained business performance, most well run banks in the country with low default rates but growth rates higher than industry average with 2011 pre-tax profit rising by 44% from 7.1bn/- in 2010 to 10.2bn/- in 2011.
Following the announcement of the results, the bank's board recommended a dividend of 40/- per share compared to 35/- paid last year, an increase of 14 per cent on each year.
Moreover, the deposit base grew by 22 per cent from 221bn/- in 2010 to 269bn/- over the corresponding period ending December 2011. Tanzanians' desire for loans went up by 30 per cent, to stand at 193bn/-.
For her part, a bank's client, Hellen David, said she appreciates the efforts done by DTB on improving its services, especially on the provision of loans, since it has enabled her children to go to school.
"With favorable conditions on loans one is able to borrow a large amount that will satisfy his or her needs", David noted.

"The other women ,in the blue dress, with flowers; she couldn't believe that I want to take a picture of her, she was highly surprised.She told me that she found the flowers in some garbage box on the street a minute ago, they stuck in it like a decoration.She was a very fine lady, seems to be not too rich, and spending all her money for her 4 children and about 8 or 9 grandchildren.She admired that I am a tailor and a costume designer- she was really interested in my blog project- very openhearted.She would have loved to be a Tailor as well, and then she smiled and said- "well- with 4 children you more or less just become a tailor in a way."
"I met the early bird guy this morning, around 8 , he came home from shopping. It took me a while to explain the difference between Internet and newspapers-he thought I was from the newspapers.He first was very skeptical, but somehow my great mood just reached him in a way,and he smiled- and said OK- take your picture.To be dressed well is very important to him."
"The older lady with the walking-help with the walking cart she was so great! She is 97 years old. She told me that she came to cologne in the age of 25.She was married to a fabricator of clothes, they had money, and she ran around in very chic and stylish clothes. She loved to be dressed exquisite..and special."

- "Republican Space Rangers! Shoot first; ask questions NEVER!"
- ―The RSR Motto
The plot consists of three Caucasian redneck American men who patrol the universe in a spacecraft, searching for and eliminating what they perceive to be threats to America. This is the first cartoon show in the GTA series. It has a mix of satirical humor, violence, foul language, racism and use of drugs. All the cartoons have a very stereotypical neoconservative view on life, except for homosexuality, where the members of the crew (all male) seem to have sexual desires for one another.
First episode (GTA IV)
The episode opens with the Rangers communicating with a group of big-headed agrarian aliens. The Rangers fail to understand anything the alien leader says, thinking he is speaking in "some kind of weird, jibber-jabber space dialect" though the alien is actually speaking in plain English. Nevertheless the Rangers, believing that the aliens threaten America, label them as terrorists and open fire. The aliens manage to retreat back to an orphanage while the Rangers head back to their ship, take off, and fire a nuke back at the alien planet. While flying through space a planet shows up on the spaceship's "Insurgent Scan" and the Rangers nuke it just to be safe.
After some congratulatory remarks by Commander another planet shows up on the scan, this time with traces of minerals and gold. The Rangers land on the planet to investigate and encounter a squid-like alien native of the planet flagging them down for help. The alien recalls the story about a group of evil aliens who had recently invaded the planet intent on enslaving the natives, stealing their natural resources and destroying their culture. Suddenly one of the evil aliens shows up and explains that his kind did this because they are evil and greedy.
Commander and Dick instantly sympathize with the evil alien and even invite him to go bass fishing. Frustrated, the squid alien makes one last-ditch plea for help but to no avail. The Rangers suddenly remember their original mission and blast both of the aliens regardless, for the sake of "Democracy and Liberty". The episode ends with Commander, once again, congratulating the other two rangers. The celebration is interrupted when Commander spots a glob of semen floating through the air, apparently from Dick who was busy masturbating while fantasizing about Commander.
Episode 456: Trouble Brewing Down South (EFLC)
The episode opens with the Rangers holding a barbeque atop an asteroid near the "border" of Earth while standing guard against any foreigners attempting to cross over. Butch, in a moment of breaking character, questions how he is able to hear the sound of Commander's gun when there is no sound in space and goes on to explain the science behind this phenomenon. Dick makes fun of Butch by calling him an educated elitist and Commander chastises him for using the internet to gain knowledge instead of using it for posting uninstantiated lies on message boards, calling people fags, and porn.
An injured and starving alien appears and slowly approaches the border but the Rangers swiftly fire their guns at it before it could cross. The Rangers then decide to go to sleep but not before calling out their three alien servants (racial stereotypes of a Mexican, Asian, and Russian) and ordering them to clean their ship. Later that evening, Dick creeps into Commander's sleep pod after being frightened by the sounds of crickets. Commander angrily explains that the crickets are just a sound effect generated to help him sleep better. Meanwhile, Butch secretly sneaks out of the ship in order to give a can of beans to a friendly alien near the border who has no arms or mouth. Butch then breaks down in tears explaining that, after the way Dick and Commander have been treating him, he feels lonely and wishes to befriend the alien.
Suddenly Dick and Commander catch Butch consorting with their so-called enemy. Commander accuses the two of being homosexual while the alien rebuts by stating that he had 14 kids until Commander killed most of them. Commander then hypocritically states it was all because of natural selection. Butch claims the alien is his friend which causes Commander to open fire upon the two. The alien leads Butch inside his ship and flies off while Commander and Dick pursue them.
Butch realizes that he has now become and outlaw begins to regret joining the space marines. Commander appears on the screen of their spaceship and continues to taunt them. Before they open fire the alien passes through an artificial ring-shaped planet (resembling a Halo from the titular series) while Commander and Dick's ship gets caught in the ring. Dick uses the hyper drive in an attempt to get out of the ring, humorously referring to this action as "Shitstorm in a Basket". The hyper drive launch fails and causes the ship to go flaccid; forcing all of its systems to go offline including the oxygen supply.
Commander and Dick believe this to be "cyber terrorism" and begin to suffocate while pleading for Butch to come back save them. Butch initially refuses to save them because they called him "gay" but the alien explains that they are just transferring their own emotional insecurities onto him (basic Jungian psychology, he says). Butch then agrees to save them. The alien maneuvers his ship in front of the Ranger's ship while Butch tells the other two to eject. Commander and Dick fearfully eject themselves out through the head of the ship and fly through space when the episode suddenly ends on a cliffhanger. Suffice to say, the two Rangers survived due to the fact they appear in the next episode.
Homecoming (EFLC)
The episode opens with the Rangers' ship (still flaccid) drifting through space. An even larger ship docks above it and sends out a hovering robot to investigate the Ranger's ship. The robot reaches the cryosleep room and awakens the Rangers, explaining to them that they have been in cryosleep for eight years. Commander realizes that Dick had accidentally set the cryo alarm clock for eight years instead of eight hours.
Seven hours later the Rangers try to restart their ship but Dick cannot remember the password to the computer. After several failed attempts the robot inputs the correct password, "TOLERANCE". The Rangers are stunned and don't even recognize the word, believing it to be the result of a random letter generator. The ship powers up and Butch discovers that all his friends de-friended him and that he missed out on the whole social-networking experience. Commander chastises him for social-networking, claiming that he got too carried away with it. Butch then discovers that they have orders to return to Earth so the Rangers promptly fly back home.
They crash land their ship directly in front of "Fort Flaccid" where a uniformed soldier nonchalantly hands them a fistful of medals and informs them of the changes made to Earth in the past several years. It turns out that not only have humans and aliens finally made peace with one another but also the USA has been turned into a pacifist, overly-sensitive, politically-correct nation - the Rangers' worst nightmare. Several other changes include giving up the right to a pension, the downgrading of military weapons to non-lethal conflict resolution devices (a puny pistol that spits out a flag), as well as the outlawing of jokes/humor (too many parent groups were offended) and torture.
The Rangers are infuriated with the new changes as Commander tries to demonstrate the usefulness of torture by pinching Butch in the groin. The Soldier is appalled and orders the Rangers to attend a "Sensitivity Retraining Seminar". Later, the Rangers are sitting in a repurposed kindergarten classroom while being taught about sensitivity and conflict resolution by an effeminate tentacled alien. The alien teacher proposes a scenario in which the Rangers must resolve non-violently but the three Ranger could only offer violent solutions to the problem. Faced with no other option to change the Rangers' way of thinking, the alien teacher is forced to revoke their medals and label them as traitors. Dick snaps, claiming he is a patriot (his favorite beer even says so), and calls the teacher a "goddamn-filthy-fucking-alien!".
The teacher is horrified and tactfully reminds Dick that the President of the USA is, in fact, an alien. The Rangers gasp as the alien teacher turns on a TV to a speech being given by President Zane; a green, scrotum-headed alien who spews urine whenever he speaks. President Zane appears friendly and confident, if a bit long-winded and also takes the time to reveal the new flag of the US. The stripe colors have been changed to pink and yellow while alien heads, rainbows, and unicorns have replaced the stars. Commander declares the president to be a "homo-communist" and has had enough of the seminar. The Rangers all attempt to shoot the teacher but find that their guns only shoot flags and promptly leave the building.
They meet up back at their crashed ship and decide that the best way to get rid of a politician they disagree with is to assassinate him and blame it on "brown people". Dick exclaims "Fuck democracy! Hell, we only ever like that shit when it works for us!" The next morning President Zane, and his vagina-mouthed alien wife, are parading through town in an open-topped limo when Commander stands in front of their limo and halts them while Dick crouches atop a grassy hill with a sniper rifle, in a reenactment of the John Kennedy assassination.
While the President is distracted with talking about autobiographies, Commander orders Dick to take the shot. Unfortunately Dick had drank a few beers prior and misses, hitting Commander in the penis instead. President Zane is convinced that Commander took the bullet for him and declares him a hero. Meanwhile Commander is bleeding out on the ground and calls out for someone to revive him, only to have Dick pelvically-thrust him in his rear. The episode ends with the Ranger trio standing in an unemployment line.
Unnamed Episode (GTA V)
The new episode takes place right after the failed assassination of the president. The Rangers are invited to the White House, where they hold a brief discussions with the president before being dismissed. The soldier from last episode assigns two new members to the team, which consists of a homosexual man and a woman, much to the disappointment of the Rangers, especially Dick. Later, Dick experiences a homoerotic dream with the homosexual from earlier, resulting in Sarge becoming bewildered. The team arrives at a shopping centre to advertise their brochures, but a fight between Sarge and the homosexual ensues. Sarge then kills the homosexual and orders the team to massacre everyone at the shopping centre. In the end, a news reporter comes and extracts the team from the ruins of the shopping centre.
The Cast
- Commander: Commander is the leader of the squad. He is always seen with a cigar in his mouth, even while sleeping. He claims blogging is for communists and queers and calls Butch "Cyber-Shopper".
- Dick: Dick seems to be second in command. He has a mustache and wears a red headband. He hero-worships the Commander, and often wishes for the next time he might be subject to the Commander's "warm, hairy embrace." Although generally sharing the same bloodlust as his two companions, Dick has a shining moment of clarity by whispering, "No, the enemy is inside" after the Commander screams that the enemy is "out there boys!" Shortly after, however, he partakes in the genocide of an alien race with glee. He also makes sexual comments that are homosexual in nature. In the episode "Trouble Brewing Down South" Dick proclaims that he was raised on a farm, when searching for Butch. In the episode "Homecoming", Dick got a picture of himself by his cryogenic tube and he cannot spell four. It's also revealed that he was molested by his uncle and says "That's me and Papa's secret".
- Butch: Butch is the tall, obese pilot of the ship who carries two guns. He has a distinctive, hillbilly-esque voice and is the dumbest of the three. He drools excessively when he talks, and his helmet's visor has his own spit on it. Butch's stupidity is often exemplified by groupthink actions (such as agreeing with the other two on anything) and his primitive desire to kill on sight, even though he "don't really like that (killing)". He becomes a fan of blogging and the internet by Episode 456 and Homecoming.
Theme Song
Republican Space Rangers!
Intergalactic war on terror,
We don't worry 'bout collateral damage or error!
'cause we're nuking hate, we're spreading freedom and liberty!
Sometimes we kill with undue glee (Oh, was that your home? Sorry!)
Gotta complete the mission!
Impossibly deny extraordinary rendition!
Spreading American values, sometimes you gotta bomb an orphanage or two!
Republican Space Rangeeeeeeeers!
- Republican Space Rangers is a parody of modern American foreign policy, especially in Iraq. It also makes fun of American patriotism, the perceived superiority Americans have in the world, as well as exaggerated Conservative, and in the case of the "Homecoming" episode, Liberal stereotypes.
- The Rangers' suits resemble MJOLNIR armor from the Halo series. As well, their ship gets caught by a Halo Ring-like object in the second episode. Also, the fact that Dick hero-worships Commander may be a reference to the popular Halo-based machinima series Red vs. Blue, in which the character Dick Simmons is seen as a "kiss-ass" toward Sarge, his Commander. One of their weapons also resembles the MA5B assault rifle used in Halo: Combat Evolved.
- Their spaceship is phallic in shape, continuing the tradition of phallic images appearing in GTA games. Also, the missiles fired from the ship are shaped like sperm. This is further referenced in Episode 456, where Dick and Commander are fired out the front, Dick yelling: "I'm goin' out like I began!"
- President Zane's head is shaped like a scrotum, while his wife's face is shaped like a vagina.
- Additionally, President Zane's wife is dressed similarly to Jackie Kennedy, John F. Kennedy's wife, during JFK's assassination.
- Johnny Klebitz insults Malc on how his gang dresses, quipping that they dress like the Republican Space Rangers.
- Pißwasser was mentioned in the first episode as "generous donations" while Patriot Beer is inferred by Dick in "Homecoming".
- The hovering robot that boards the RSR's ship in the episode "Homecoming" has a striking resemblance to a Probe Droid from the Star Wars series, and also bears a resemblance to the Mister Handy model featured in the Fallout 3 and New Vegas video games.
- The sound that the RSR's ship makes when starting up has the same sound effect as the Medigun from the game Team Fortress 2.
- In "Homecoming", the trio arrives at Fort Flaccid, flaccid being a term for an unerect penis.
- At the end of "Homecoming", Commander, a burly space marine, is bleeding out on the ground while shouting "revive me!" This may have been a nod to the protagonists of the the Gears of War series who act similarly when injured.
- In episode 456, when Butch is talking to the alien outside of the ship, he refers to the other two rangers as "Butch and the Commander", when he should have said "Dick and the Commander". This might be a testament to his stupidity, or a simple mistake by the voice actor.
- In Episode 456, the alien that Butch leaves Dick and The Commander for says "life is complicated", to which Butch replies "I know, I saw the commercial" may reference the teaser trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV as Niko's narration opens with this line.
- In Homecoming, Dick states that his favorite beer is Patriot Beer, however, empty Pißwasser beer bottles are seen near him in the shooting scene.
- In Homecoming, the Commander suggests a password to start up the ship, "Clown's Pocket", but it doesn't work. This is also the name of a casino in Las Venturas, as well as a crude term for a slack vagina.
- The rangers never take off their armor, even when they sleep.
- Interestingly, the amount of "Kill Count" stickers on Butch's and Commander's guns increased as of Episodes 456 and Homecoming.
- In the GTA V gameplay trailer, a brief segment features a man dressed in a Ranger costume fighting another mascot (who turns out to be Impotent Rage, another in-game cartoon character) in front of the Cathay Theater.
- The Commander can be seen in front of the Cathay Theather, on Vinewood Boulevard. (see gallery)
- The opening to the Homecoming episode is very similar to the opening sequence to the movie Aliens.
- Further references to the movie include Butch mentioning a "cat running around," which is referring to the cat that survived the first movie.
- A billboard of the show appears in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

We have a wonderful new series of map books in the history room - the Family Maps series by Gregory A. Boyd. Each book covers a single county, township by township and clearly displays the original land owners. Determining if your ancestor obtained a patent in a particular county has never been easier. Family Maps provide multiple indexes that verify the surnames for the county, which townships to find them in and specifically where within each township. "Big Picture" maps are also included that place each county in context within the state and within the region. Most of these map books are deluxe editions, which also include roads, waterways, towns, cemeteries and railroads. The history room currently has Family Maps for Kalamazoo, Allegan, Calhoun, Barry, Berrien, Branch, Cass, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties. But keep watch – more are on the way.

May may be the new Misty but she is not as smart as she was. And she proves this when she, Ash, Brock and Max head to a pasta restaurant that May read up on the internet. The thing was May forgot to check the date and found that the place was closed. The date was exactly the same day, exactly the same month, ten years ago. Things go from bad to worse when they find the pier on the other side of town.May tries to find help and finds a kind sailor by the name of Mr. Briney. But when she returned with her friends, his personality changed for the worse. Could May have goofed up again? Or is someone else pulling Mr. Briney's strings?
The gang is going to the Dewford Island. May, however, thinks that they should eat some of Rustboro City's famous pasta. May has copied the plans from the computer while they were at Pokemon Center, but they find the restaurant closed due that it has been closed for 10 years. The gang is quite sad when they need a boat yet they have been lost in the city. Max has found the port, but it seems that it has been deserted. Ash is seriously dissapointed when he cannot battle the Gym leader on Dewford Island soon. May proposes that she'll search for a boat, but she does not see any around.
May spots a person on a dock. She wants to ask him a question, to which the person thinks that hse's gonna ask why the fish aren't around the docks. May spots a Wingull and the man introduces it to May, naming him as Peeko. Peeko is a bit shy when he does not want to meet May, but with May's friendliness and Brock's food it befriends May. The man introduces himself as Briney. Team Rocket spy on May, thinking of how to steal Ash's Pikachu.
May is thrilled that Briney owns a boat. Briney tells May that he was a sailor until people moved to new part of the docks. May leaves to bring her friends. Team Rocket is pleased so they plan to steal Pikachu, but Jessie thinks that the Wingull should be stolen as well. A man with sunglasses appears behind Briney. May tells her that Briney will take them to Dewford Island, but for some reason when they got to Briney, he heartily refuses to take them there. Briney turns to the man, addressing him as a part of Team Aqua, clarifying that he didn't want to put the children in danger.
The man demands Briney's boat, and threatens to hurt Peeko with his Crawdaunt (making the person the one who (almost) stole the test tubes from last episode), so Briney has no other choice. Officer Jenny appears before the gang, saying that the are that the gang is in is dangerous because the man who broke into Devon Corporation is here. Jenny made it clear that her men have secured Rustboro City so that the man shouldn't escape, although there is talk that he might meet the others.
Max wonders if the man knows about the security so that he might plan where to meet the others. The gang realizes that they are going to meet on the sea via a boat and that Briney and Peeko are in danger. They arrive to Briney's house, then they turn to the back side of the house. Briney warns them that it is a member of Team Aqua here, threatning him, with a Crawdaunt holding Peeko as hostage. Pikachu and Crawdaunt are about to enter the fight...
...but Team Rocket appear, throwing some smoke bombs. They take Peeko and Pikachu on the baloon. Brock brings his Lotad to the fight. Lotad uses Water Gun, but it fails to use it effectively, but it tries again, with better efficiency. The remote is broken, so Pikachu and Peeko fall down. Crawdaunt uses Bubble Beam, blasting Team Rocket away. The man escapes on the boat, forcing Briney to use his secret boat - a SS Wingull. Briney makes a flashback where he had no other people near him when the Wingull (named Peeko) appeared, befriending him, so he built the boat like him.
Pikachu and Ash climb to the top of the boat, when Crawdaunt uses Water Pulse to unbalance the ship. The Team Aqua member is near Triangle Rock where he's going to meet his other members. Pikachu uses Thunder to blast the rock. The ship turns, making the boat where the member of Team Aqua is fly on the other side. Briney catches Peeko, but a submarine appears, with the mark of Team Aqua! The man escapes, going into the submarine.
Back at Briney's house, Peeko eats Brock's food. However, Max and May starve as well, so after hearing that May searched for the Rustboro City's pasta restaurant, he calls his friend to make the food. Tomorrow, the gang is going to Dewford Island.
- "Team Rocket, what are you doing here?
Always with the same question." - Ash and Jessie
- Featured Pokemon: Sentret
- In Pokémon Ruby, it was a Team Magma agent who stole Peeko, so this episode may be based on the events of Pokémon Sapphire.

Serves 6 to 8
Makes 1 (8-to 9-inch) torte
If possible, use homemade jam for this dessert, named for the Austrian city of Linz. Raspberry or currant would be the classic choice; I have included instructions for a quick raspberry currant ham here, but if you decide to buy the jam, you will need 1 to 1-1/2 cups. To suggest ice cream is gilding the lily, but a little vanilla ice cream along each slice would be nice with this, along with a cup of Viennese-style coffee.
In a medium bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, cocoa powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and almonds until well mixed. In a large bowl combine the granulated sugar and butter and beat with a handheld mixer on medium-high speed or with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and lemon zest and stir until incorporated. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until thoroughly combined and a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into 2 portions, one twice as large as the other. Press out each portion like a thick hamburger patty, wrap separately in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until chilled, or up to 24 hours.
Remove any stems from the currants. In a nonreactive pot, combine the currants and raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon zest and juice and bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until thick and jammy and a candy thermometer registers 228°F. Be sure to cook the jam long enough (being careful not to scorch) for it to thicken. Remove from the heat and let cool. You should have 1 to 1-1/2 cups.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Remove only the larger dough portion from the refrigerator and press it onto the bottom and sides of an 8- or 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom. Pour in the cooled jam and then refrigerate while you make the lattice for the top.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the second dough portion to match the diameter of your pan. With a table knife or a pastry or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-wide strips. For the fanciest lattice top, lay half of the strips parallel to one another across the tart, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart. Lay the remaining strips perpendicular to the first strips, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart and gently weaving them over and under the first strips. If a strip breaks, just press the broken edges back together. Alternatively, for a simple lattice, place half of the strips parallel to one another across the tart, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart. Then lay the remaining strips on top of and perpendicular to the first strips, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart. Press the ends of each strip onto the edge of the bottom crust.
Brush the lattice strips with the egg wash, then sprinkle the hazelnuts evenly around the outside edge. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. (Start checking after 30 minutes and decrease the heat to 350°F if the crust seems to be browning too fast.) Let cool completely on a wire rack, then remove the pan sides. Using a wide metal spatula, carefully slide the torte onto a serving plate. Liberally dust the top of the torte with confectioners' sugar and cut into wedges to serve.

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- We first told you about big changes for Augusta's juvenile court system. The court will soon have full-time judges, but some are now complaining about a lack of diversity.
"To a certain extent, and this is rare," said Juvenile Court Judge Willie Saunders. "I'm somewhat speechless."
Saunders says he can't believe Augusta's juvenile court system will soon have no African-American judges.
"Diversity matters," said Juvenile Court Judge Ben Allen. "You have got to have diversity."
Allen and Saunders took to the airwaves during our weekly radio segment on 96.3 KISS FM with Fattz and Cher after being passed over in a recent move from part-time to full-time judges. This is a court system where more than 80 percent of the young people coming from places like Augusta's Youth Development Campus are African-American.
"I truly believe that it is a great loss to our community because no one race has the brain-trust on how to deal with children," Allen said.
Saunders blames politics. Saunders ran against the man who appointed him to the position, Chief Superior Court Judge Carlisle Overstreet.
"I was not surprised that I was not reappointed. It's part of the old spoils system," Saunders said. "The people spoke and then the judges spoke."
Allen says the people need to speak out again.
"The county commission is the funding source for juvenile court," Allen said. "You can tell your county commissioner that until we have diversity, perhaps the funding source should dry up."

The on-and-off controversy related to homosexuality in Africa is again in the air, thanks to some Western leaders who have publicly and shamelessly announced that they will tie part of the aid to African countries to observation of the homosexual rights benchmark.
Notorious for this kind of stand is British Prime Minister David Cameron, who used the recent Commonwealth Heads of Governments media limelight to vocally warn economically weak countries against the consequences of violating homosexual rights.
As expected, reaction to this stance has been instant in many African capitals. At home the President of Zanzibar, Dr Ali Mohammed Shein said at a press conference that the issue of gay rights is not acceptable in the society and amending existing laws or introducing new ones to guarantee gay rights is out of question.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation as well as his cabinet colleague in-charge of the Gender, Children and Community Development Ministry, also came out vocally with one clear message - that Tanzania is not ready to be arm-twisted by the aid cutting threat and negate social principles its people hold dear.
Reaction is not only at top leadership level. Members of the elite, especially urban based professionals, religious leaders and some politicians have been deeply touched by these developments and are busy brainstorming them. Hence the ongoing hot debate in the media about homosexual rights in general, and David Cameron's stand on the matter, in particular. It is a hot topic even among other urban dwellers, a good number of whom happen to know a few things on current affairs.
This development, like many other happenings, has two sides of the proverbial coin. Much as Mr Cameron and company have upset and infuriated many Africans, yet we can use this opportunity to work on a few things.
First, we can enlighten the so-called international human rights crusaders on the current feelings of many Africans on homosexuality and related issues, as well as on the folly and consequences of attempting to fast-track the controversial gays and lesbians rights in this kind of environment, especially when external forces seem determined to play a leading role in the ill-timed adventure.
Efforts should be made to make them understand that the African society in general, is not ready for the changes they are advocating, much as we already have some gays and lesbians in our midst, whose number is probably increasing, even as many people don't admit this reality. Playing ostrich is the name of the game.
Those who have had the opportunity to live along the Indian Ocean coastal areas of East Africa, in Zanzibar and even some towns in the East African region know too well that male prostitutes are common, and even casually frequent some recreational centres.
Same sex relationships have existed in some boarding schools, prisons; commercial farms etc. for a long time and still exist. Let it be noted, however, that those involved in what are regarded as unnatural sexual encounters are very much frowned upon and condemned as social misfits. Extremists still equate them to animals, and you have self-appointed moral high priests who say the characters deserve death!
How does one expect the state to legalise homosexuality and same-sex marriages under such social environment, even when there are threats to curtail foreign aid? State actors know very well that mishandling this issue can easily put their careers at risk.
By the way, it should be noted that issues related to homosexuals and their rights are yet to be completely resolved even in developed countries and remain highly controversial.
Hence, entertaining the idea that gays and lesbians' rights can easily be adopted in the diverse social, ethnic, and religious environment which define Africa is to expect too much, to put it mildly.
All said this development has a silver lining. It has woken up many and is creating awareness about dangers inherent in over-dependence on foreign aid.
This is good. If what is happening can make us engage in serious soul searching to find out why the continent rich in natural resources is surviving on handouts, then Mr Cameron and company will have made a good contribution to our continent.

2010 Preview: Los Angeles Angels
- Tuesday, March 23, 2010 10:20 AM
- Written By: Andrew Simon
2009: 97-65, 1st in AL West. Pythagorean record of 92-70.
Key Additions: SP Joel Pineiro, OF/DH Hideki Matsui, RP Fernando Rodney
Key Losses: SP John Lackey, OF/DH Vladimir Guerrero, 3B Chone Figgins, RP Darren Oliver, OF Gary Matthews Jr.
2010 Projections: PECOTA – 78-84, 4th in AL West. CHONE – 81-81, tied for 2nd. CAIRO – 80.7-81.3, 3rd.
Pitching: 2009 – 4.45 FIP (21st in MLB), 4.54 for starters, 4.27 for relievers
2010 – The Angels should be able to overcome the loss of Lackey. Piniero is unlikely to repeat his 2009 performance but still should be a solid back-of-the-rotation starter, and the team should get a boost if Scott Kazmir and Ervin Santana provide full, healthy seasons. Brian Fuentes had 48 saves last season, but that doesn't make him a great closer.
Hitting: 2009 – .346 wOBA (3rd in MLB)
2010 – The big question is if Brandon Wood can fill the void left by Figgins, but the Angels also need Howie Kendrick to step up and Kendry Morales to maintain his new-found productivity. The Halos also must hope that the aging offensive core of Torii Hunter, Bobby Abreu and Matsui holds up.
Fielding: 2009 – UZR of 13.3 (10th in MLB)
2010 – Hunter's defensive prowess is nowhere close to his reputation, and Abreu is a liability in right. Things look brighter in the infield, although losing Figgins hurts.
Reasons to Watch
1. Brandon Wood: It appears that the longtime top prospect will finally get a shot to hold down the everyday third base job this season. Wood, who will turn 25 in April, has struck out a third of the time in his 236 MLB plate appearances thus far, while putting up a line of .192/.222/.313. He does have tremendous power, however, as his slugging percentages of .595 and .557 the last two years in Triple-A indicate. This could be the year Wood puts things together, or it could be the year he takes a step closer to becoming the next Dallas McPherson.
2. Howie Kendrick: Kendrick has been a frustrating player to watch for Angels fans and fantasy owners alike. He has a career minor league line of .360/.403/.569, but in four big league seasons, he's been basically a league-average hitter. Injuries have certainly played a role, as last season's 400 plate appearances were a career-high. But Kendrick also just hasn't performed up to expectations, and it's possible his free-swinging style will prevent him from reaching his potential long-term. At 26, he should be about at his prime, so now is the time for Kendrick to bust out.
3. Joel Pineiro: What Pineiro accomplished last season is hard to overstate. Working with a completely revamped Dave Duncan-instilled approach, Pineiro led the majors in walks per nine innings and ground ball rate, while finishing fifth in home runs per nine innings. This was largely due to a new two-seam fastball, which got a ton of ground balls. 2009 was likely a perfect storm for Pineiro, but as long as he is able to maintain his new approach while detached from Duncan, he should continue to find success.
Paint By Numbers: On the other end of the spectrum from Pineiro, you have Jered Weaver, who finished just behind Ted Lilly for the major league lead in fly ball rate last season, at 50.4 percent. Not surprisingly, Weaver also gave up 26 home runs, but he still notched a solid 4.04 FIP. ... Catchers Mike Napoli and Jeff Mathis combined to strike out 176 times last season. But at least Napoli hit 20 homers and slugged .492. Mathis hit five long balls and slugged .308. ... To say last season was a breakout year for Kendry Morales would be putting it mildly. From 2006-08, Morales hit 13 home runs in 407 plate appearances. In 2009: 34 in 622.

The first Manufacture in the Joux Valley
In 1866, when Swiss watchmaking was still structured around small home-run workshops. Antoine LeCoultre and his son Elie decided to pull together under one roof all the many skills involved in making watches, and install a steam-driven machine to power their new tools. LeCoultre & Cie became the first Manufacture of the Joux Valley. Today it houses over 180 skills necessary for designing and building the most prestigious timepieces from start to finish.
