Warmer temperatures bring Oklahoma State Fair to finale
The Oklahoma State Fair ended Sunday in 90-degree heat a week after its soggy start. Organizers called this year's event a success. "We're pleased," said fair President Tim O'Toole. "The people who came out seemed to be enjoying themselves, so it's been a successful fair. It won't be long now before we start planning for the 2010 event." Fair officials on Sunday had not yet compiled an estimated attendance figure, but said it was likely on par with years past. "One way we try to gauge things is how people attend our ground attractions (like shows), and those went well," he said. "There are different shows at different times of day, but they always seemed to be packed and people were enjoying them." Rain the first weekend led to some parking problems in unpaved lots, but the rest of the fair was relatively dry, O'Toole said. The midway was bustling Sunday afternoon, though the unseasonably warm temperatures made shade a hot commodity. Fairgoers snacked on various fried foods on a stick, cooled off with fresh lemonade, played carnival games and enjoyed rides. An arm wrestling competition, homemade ice cream contest and live surgery in the barn area were some of the last-day highlights. The livestock barns began to empty, with events only scheduled on the last day for llamas, cows and goats. O'Toole said the filled parking lots, moderate lines at the concession stands and smiles on faces of all ages are all signs of another successful fair. "It's been a good year, all things considered," O'Toole said.

A note about the ENTOMBMENT category on death certificates: entombment at Ascutney Cemetery is always temporary and doesn't indicate the final disposition of the body. Entombment occurs when a grave can't be dug because of frozen Vermont ground, or some other circumstance delays burial. The stone tomb was used before the 1980's when the modern storage facility was built. There's another step before burial or transfer to another location; either a Burial Permit for Ascutney Cemetery will be issued with the grave location, or a Transit Permit will be issued with the final destination. These records aren't on line. If in doubt, let me know and I'll check the records at the Windsor Town Office. IMHO, it is our responsibility in giving last respects, to place the memorial in the actual final resting place.
If you find an error or would like to make additions to any memorials I've created please let me know via the Edit tab where you can: "Suggest a correction or an addition:
Birth/death date, birth/death place,
Relationship (parent and spouse links),
Plot or GPS,
Marker transcription, or
Suggest any other correction or addition."
I follow the rules established by Find A Grave because I firmly believe it's important to respect the work of each "Graver", just as we pay our respects to those who have gone before.

John E. Ellsworth
I got your edit on John Ellsworth. I always try to do a little research when I get an edit - like full dates of death, etc. When I looked into John I found a family tree showing William Henry Ellsworth and Elisabeth Wheeler as his parents. The reason I'm questioning your request is that William Ellsworth and Elisabeth Wheeler are at the same cemetery. I didn't see an Abram or Hester. I know the tree I found can be wrong so I'm just bringing this to your attention. You mentioned you had a death certificate. I'm just wondering if we're talking about the same John Ellsworth. Please let me know. You also mentioned you are a family member. Do you want this memorial transferred to you? I'm not related in any way so would be happy to transfer it. Linda

RE: Abel Ellsworth 68178676
I just got finished replacing a military stone for a family member from 1942 that was incorrect - it is a matter of talking to the Veteran's Administration - they are in the Poughkeepsie Journal building here. Just need proof of correct dates. The obit had the wrong birth date also I see. I looked at his Draft Registration card and it does have the correct date. The DOD is also incorrect - he died on the 13th and was buried on the 16th. You can get both corrected at the same time at no cost to you.

RE: Ellsworth Family memorials
I have looked at the memorials, and they are family for me also. As I have stated in my bio the newspaper has given permission for the obits to be used, and the objection that Find A Grave had was that they might be "owned" by the newspaper and therefore a copyright issue. Since you have also added obits in the bio, and they are from different newspapers that would also negate the argument for not adding obits. I would think having the information would enhance the memorial, and as I am trying to put together a book using the obits from the Poughkeepsie newspapers it is helpful for me to link family members using the info from them and assemble the book.
I would think you also would like to know we are family because I would not add it if they were not related to me.
I am not trying to alienate people here, so if you really object to what I have added I can remove, I just wanted to point out these things.

WASHINGTON - Dax Ryan Locke, 2, of Washington passed away after an 18-month battle with acute myeloid leukemia at 2:15 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2009, at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria.
Born June 26, 2007, at Methodist Hospital in Peoria, Ill., he was the only son of Austin and Julie Lemkemann Locke. They survive, as well as many other family members who loved him dearly.
Dax, who was a very happy little boy even in his illness, spent his first year of life at home. The remainder of his life was spent at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis and the OSF affiliate in Peoria, where he was loved and cared for by the nurses, doctors and other staff.
Austin and Julie wish to express their gratitude to all of those that have supported and cared for Dax, and are thankful for your kindness and prayers during his illness.
A public visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 3, 2010, at Crossroads United Methodist Church in Washington. Celebration of life services will be open only to close friends and family.

|With a new board and interim CEO in place, Yahoo! seems ready to take steps toward unlocking value.
10 Steps Yahoo! Must Take to Succeed
TheStreet) -- With a new board in place with Dan Loeb, and an "interim" CEO who is well-liked internally and externally in Ross Levinsohn, Yahoo! (YHOO - Get Report) seems ready to start taking a number of steps to unlock value. The laundry list basically breaks down into two parts: internal fixes and external ones.NEW YORK (
Internally: 1. Reiterate Yahoo's core business mission. Ross is the guy who came up with the line that Yahoo was "the premier digital media company" to finally answer the mission statement question. He needs to underline that and make it clear to advertisers, employees and investors. 2. Focus. Scott Thompson was right that the company can't be into everything. It clearly has to make hard choices on how it's going to spend resources. They can't be spread a mile wide and an inch deep. This means only doing stuff that Yahoo can be really good at and differentiated from Google (GOOG) and Facebook. 3. Reconnect with advertisers. Arguably, the best thing Yahoo has done in the past year has been its ABC News partnership and launch of original content such as with Katie Couric. Levinsohn has to go back to Madison Avenue and show them that Yahoo will be their best partner. This means launching premium, immersive ad campaigns that are customized and tied around interesting original video. 4. Focus on premium content that's unique. ABC worked. Yahoo needs to do more deals like this, but it has to be smart. These kinds of deals can be very expensive and Yahoo doesn't have unlimited capital. Premium content can be a differentiator for Yahoo, even with YouTube trying to build itself up. 5. Pursue user-generated content. Assuming Yahoo gets some capital back for its Asian stakes and/or a patent agreement with Facebook, a lot of that will go towards stock buybacks and possibly a special dividend to shareholders. Some of it should be used to bolster the core business and allowing it to buy some interesting companies. User-generated content would be a great fit for Yahoo. It lends itself to mobile and is different from Google and Facebook. Companies such as Yelp (YELP), Zillow (Z), HomeAway (AWAY) and TripAdvisor (TRIP) are all a good fit -- though getting more expensive by the day.

A highly recommended DAC that sets new standards at this price...
It's expensive, but if you want a versatile high-end DAC/preamp, this is a worthwhile bet
Not everyone has £12,000 to spend on a DAC, but the TAD DA-1000 is one of the best money can buy...
Not so very far from the last word in external digital-to-analogue converters
The DAC XP remains a fine product. The Signature upgrade makes it an even more pleasing performer
Chord's QBD76 HDSD is a top-class converter that delivers a brilliant sound from a well-built package. It has plenty of visual appeal, too
This DAC/preamp/power supply combo is hugely capable and packed with useful features
If you like an exciting edge to your music, this pocket-sized DAC is for you
It's not often we see a DAC with this kind of price tag, but this dCS justifies it
Pricey DAC but one of the most organic-sounding digital products we've heard

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If you're inclined to lie and cheat -- and some days, it looks like just about everybody is -- it helps to distance yourself from your aberrant acts. Golfers, for example, will cheat more if they get a chance to nudge the ball closer to where they want by using a club, as opposed to picking it up with their hand.And financial professionals, well, we'll get to the kinds of people who swap tips about confidential Goldman Sachs board meetings in a bit. But there's good news and bad news in the research behind The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone -- Especially Ourselves, the latest book by Duke University's engaging behavioral economist Dan Ariely. The good news is that there are actually ways to minimize the chances people will cheat. The bad news is that in the U.S., the most popular economic philosophy is not, in Ariely's view, one that nurtures corporate honesty.

Friday, August 08, 2008
0 Comments | Copyright: IANS
New Delhi, Aug 8 (IANS) Two movies dealing with bold subjects by Indian filmmakers N. Chandra and Manan Singh Katohora are to be showcased at the Toronto South Asian Film Festival starting Aug 13.
While director N. Chandra's 'Yeh Mera India' explores the real stories behind the headlines in India's news channels, 'When Kiran Met Karen' by US-based filmmaker Manan Singh Katohora deals with lesbianism.
Chandra, known for his super hit crime thriller 'Tezaab', has made socially relevant and hard-hitting films like 'Ankush' and 'Pratighaat' in the early 1980s.
His film 'Yeh Mera India' that was earlier titled 'Breaking News' has actor Parvin Dabbas alongside Anupam Kher, Rajpal Yadav, Rajit Kapoor, Sarika, Seema Biswas, Atul Kulkarni, Perizaad Zorabian and Purab Kohli among others.
Actor Atul Kulkarni describes the film as 'a collection of six to seven stories based on people living in different strata of society in Mumbai.
'The film is loosely based on Oscar-winning film 'Crash' (2004) that depicted several characters living in Los Angeles during a 36-hour period,' Atul told IANS.
In 'Yeh Mera India', Atul plays a learned man who gradually becomes a disillusioned communist and joins the underworld.
Following the premiere of Chandra's 'Yeh Mera India' Aug 14, the English-language film 'When Kiran Met Karen' will also be showcased at the film festival.
Director Katohora has stepped out of the safe zone of India's perceived moral boundaries to portray the life of a Bollywood starlet Kiran who discovers her 'sexuality' after an affair with a Chinese woman.
The role of Kiran was earlier offered to actress Perizaad Zorabian who turned it down. Ultimately, Chriselle Almeida has played Kiran in the film.
A Goan, Chriselle was born in Mumbai and moved to New York at the age of 14. She has done an acting course from the University of California. Chriselle was previously seen in Jonah Freeman's 2004 movie 'The Franklin Abraham'.
Chriselle is not at all fazed by the possibility of her role eliciting shock and anger from the Indian audience.
'Safe is no fun! Playing a character that is slightly daring, unsafe and not a stereotype is fun,' Chriselle told IANS in the context of films on lesbianism raking up controversy in the country.
She added: 'I was so excited by the script where an Indian actress was not portrayed in the usual conventional way. The controversial subject drew me to the character.'
The film is expected to hit theatres in India later this year.
In the past, Deepa Mehta's 'Fire' on the same subject triggered protest and Karan Razdan's 'Girlfriend' courted controversy by attempting to portray love between two women on screen. Neither film went down well with the audience or the distributors.
But Chriselle is unperturbed. She said: 'We would like to think that we live in a more progressive time and that the average Indian audience would accept the theme of the film. Realistically speaking, I think that there will be an uneasy feeling among the audience.'
She explained that the film tries to convey that unexpected things can happen and can change our life and it is up to us to decide whether to follow our heart or be 'sensible'.
'More than conveying a message, the film throws up questions that the audience must answer,' Chriselle said.

AG jeans
Drake in AG Adriano Goldschmied in GQ
Drake is just one of the many faces named "Man of the Year" by GQ. For the spread, Drake was styled in the color of the season, green. He was wearing a pair of the AG Cargos in Fatigue Green. I'm happy to see that AG interpreted their skinny cargos for men. These are slimmer and I think easier to wear than the usual cargos for men. I hope we get more sightings of them.
I still can't believe how big Drake's stardom has gotten. He went from being told that he'll never make it in the music business to making it before he was even signed to a label and now being on GQ. That is a great feat I think. Buy AG Jeans at AG Jeans online.
Rachel Bilson in AG Adriano Goldschmied
Rachel Bilson swung by a local grocery store to stock up for the week. I think the paparazzi must know all of her local hangouts because she's by far one of the most photographed celebrity. But I typically enjoy her style, so I don't mind seeing photos of her!
Her look was perfect for the weekend, a gray over-sized sweatshirt and her AG boyfriend jeans. She finished the look off with a pair of lace up oxfords and a gray Chanel flap bag. Rachel's outfits always look put together without being over-thought. You can buy Rachel's AG jeans online for $275.
Mila Kunis in AG Adriano Goldschmied
Ahhh…two of my favorite things, Mila Kunis and AG Jeans. She was spotted outside the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, California. She was wearing a pair of the AG Skinny Cargos in Fatigue Green to watch the performances of Brandon Flowers and Fran Healy. Mila probably has to be one of my favorite celebrities, not just for her amazing looks but also her street style.
It looks like Mila finally has some downtime. It seems like she was working non-stop this year with her movies. She has both The Black Swan, which I think will be very interesting and different than what I'm used to seeing her in, and Friends with Benefits coming out. Click here to purchase these cargos at AGJeans for $198.

Channing Tatum in AG Adriano Goldschmied
Channing Tatum was spotted on his way into a building in Beverly Hills, California. He was wearing a pair of jeans from one of his favorite brands, AG Adriano Goldschmied. He chose to wear the Protege in Shitake Picasso for the business meeting.
I'm happy to see that more celebrities are starting to wear grey denim. Before it was usually only Kate Moss that we would spot in the shade, but now we have spotted many people from Ashlee Simpson to Orlando Bloom in the color. Click here to purchase these jeans from AGJeans for $168.

Clinton, Bill Electoral College foreign policy gasoline prices health insurance home ownership leadership media coverage morality national economy party identification Perot, Ross personal finances presidency presidential campaigns presidential candidates presidential elections presidential performance public opinion purchasing tax increases United States Congress United States House of Representatives values voter preferences voting behavior 1993-10-11 2008-04-14 1992-07-08--1992-07-11 survey data 6080 1 This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to comment on what they thought was the most important problem facing the country, and to give their approval rating of George Bush with respect to his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, and the economy. Questions were also posed regarding respondents' vote intentions for the 1992 presidential election, their opinions of 1992 presidential candidates, and the likelihood of their voting in the 1992 presidential election. Respondents were asked about the amount of attention they had paid to the 1992 presidential campaign, media coverage of the candidates, and the importance of a candidate's party affiliation. Those surveyed were asked whether George Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot had strong qualities of leadership, whether they had said enough about where they stood on the issues, whether they really said what they believed most of the time, and how much they cared about the needs and problems of the people. The poll also posed questions pertaining to whether the candidates exhibited good judgment under pressure, whether they were likely to raise taxes, if they shared the moral values of other Americans, and whether they had offered specific ideas to solve important problems. Additional questions dealt with national health insurance, abortion, gasoline taxes, family finances, selling Mexican goods in the United States, the national economy, buying a new car or house, how well congressional representatives were handling their jobs, and how the United States House of Representatives should vote if none of the candidates wins an Electoral College majority. Background information on respondents includes sex, age, race, marital status, employment status, education, family income, political orientation, party preference, and religious preference.

More than four years after its debut, Windows Phone still has a native app problem. Microsoft has now accepted that's not going to change anytime soon, so in an effort to attract new users to its platform, it's going to allow them to run Android and iOS apps… sort of.
Diehard Microsoft fans abandon Windows Phone for iPhone
If you needed any more confirmation that Windows Phone is dead in the water, two of its most high profile supporters have abandoned it for the iPhone.
Veteran Microsoft journalists Ed Bott and Tom Warren both published essays this week in which they criticized Windows Phone for its shortcomings and announced that they've stopped using Windows Phones personally. Citing a lack of carrier and third-party app support, both agreed that Windows Phone has missed its shot at being a real competitor in the smartphone market.
Android grabs a larger market share as iOS falls
Android has yet again increased its lead in U.S. market share as its rivals give up precious points, according to the latest data from Kantar WorldPanel. Google's popular platform now commands an impressive 61.8 percent share of the smartphone market, which is close to double the 32.6 percent now held by iOS.
Microsoft is weeks away from launching its own smartwatch
Having previously taken a crack at the smartwatch market with its now-discontinued SPOT technology, Microsoft is looking to get back into the wearables space according to a report from Forbes, citing anonymous sources.
The watch will apparently be launched in the next few weeks and will work across a variety of platforms, which makes perfect sense since Windows Phone is a distant third compared to Android and iPhone handsets.
Its timing is an effort to capture the potentially-lucrative holiday market.
Not even Cortana wants to use Windows Phone
Microsoft may enjoy bragging about the perceived superiority of its Windows Phone virtual assistant Cortana over Apple's Siri, but the actress who voices Cortana apparently isn't so convinced.
In a recent tweet, actress Jen Taylor (@jentaylortown) tweeted the message "Oh my geez Seattle is beautiful" via iOS, suggesting that while Microsoft may be helping bring in the paychecks, that money is going on Apple products.

Top choice
Ao Ban Kai, Thong Sala T: (077) 377 756-7, (081) 326 1787
Ko Pha Ngan is so big, we've split it up into areas, select one of the below for detailed accommodation and food listings in that area. Sights and general overviews for Ko Pha Ngan as a whole can be found via the icons above. Don't know where to start? Read an overview of Ko Pha Ngan's different areas.
Morning Star is the classiest and most comfortable choice on Ban Kai -- a fine choice for midrange travellers and families.
The spacious and handsomely designed wooden bungalows, some duplexes and others more private, surround the pool and central garden. The rooms are spotless and comfortable with air-con available -- a rarity in these parts. A couple of newer concrete units by the restaurant are still cosy but much less charming from the outside. The beach here on the west side of Ban Kai is wider and sandier than the rest, much better for sunbathing and swimming. Kayaks are available to rent as are motorbikes, and laundry, internet and travel assistance are provided by the friendly staff.

Garden Art
In idle moments I'm often caught day dreaming. Ideas take time to manifest themselves into reality. An art piece might only have taken 30 minutes but a lifetime to dream of. For those with a keen eye and an artist's soul plant's are an endless source of inspiration. We want to photograph them, paint them, draw them, and be around them. Plants are living art, and what's better, they grow and change.
The other afternoon an art attack miraculously happened. I had dreamt up the technique months ago but never put it into action. I'm probably not the first, but certainly not the last, art made with flowers? A temporary gratification of the senses, I darted about the garden collecting my palette. To think in a late summer garden there was still so much in bloom, I had no shortage of supplies. Art made with flowers what a novel idea.
Bet you can't name them all?
There are so many strange shapes and sizes. Brilliant fades, textures and forms. I thought to myself why would I paint these, when I could arrange them all the same. This art is a bit time sensitive, as noticeable lack luster sets in quickly as the flowers sit lifeless. In a hurry I managed to snap some interesting photographs.
After enjoying this piece for a while I decided to take one more go at it via H20. The results were promising.
I encourage all of you plant geeks to give it a go, art therapy is good for the soul. Get creative, unwind and be free.

Blink Beauty NYC
Tanya Pack—a Haitian-American Brooklynite—was mesmerized by the fashion and makeup world from a young age, but began a path toward becoming a nurse and teacher at the request of her parents. As the reality of her prospective career set in, Pack made the daring move back to New York to pursue her dream of working in the beauty industry. Like the Dawn Treader's dragon figurehead, the freelance artist endured many ups and downs, all of which led her to form Blink Beauty NYC. Her company prides itself on keeping women informed about simple ways to enhance their natural looks without the need to stock an endless supply of beauty products in their makeup cellars. Along with creating a "flawless look," the staffers of Blink Beauty NYC focus on the person as a whole as they bring forth inner beauty with nailcare, hair services, and personally designed makeup, including mineral loose foundations and lip glosses.

used to work out in the same gym as he did.....very, very nice (straight) guy. almost TOO muscular, with a TINY ass, but hot just the same.....
I think Matthew Lawrence is hotter.
and the younger brother is hot too and possibly legal. i wanna see joey lawrence naked and unshaved. that would be really hot.
I'd like to see both of them together, maybe some real Brotherly Love. Unless they weren't drunk enough, then I'd do joey, then matt.
A TINY ass?! Are you kidding me?! Joey has a BIG bubble butt. Perhaps you are confusing him with his brother Matthew Lawrence, who has a different body type, and has a small butt?Originally Posted by museglet
Greekdude, on what show or movie did you see Joey to see he has a big bubble butt or did you see him in person ? How big is it? I love guys with big bubble butts.
Yeah, it's a bubble butt, BUT EXTREMELY small in proportion to the rest of his muscular upper torso.....trust me, I used to look at it a lot.Originally Posted by greekdude
.....also saw Matthew there a few times, his body type was more to my liking (although joey was working at the time to bulk him up too).....
In Joey's teenage years, he did have a tiny butt. There were fake pics of him nude in those days. I don't think too many teen idols would risk their reputation by posing nude. However, pics of Stallone and Arnold S. were out there and they said they regretted having those pics publicized.
I've searched and searched for shirtless and/or otherwise pics of Joey Lawrence - he is totally hot - and have never found any. His brothers are growing up nicely, too.
Did yall ever watch Joey Lawrence on Gimme me a break. Thats when he was a kid, now he is a young man. Hopefully Gimmie me a break, will be on DVD sometime in the near fucture.
Museglet, did you ever hear any other people at the gym make comments about his butt, and if so please share them with us? Thanks.
He's been appering on Half and Half. One scene had him in a full body workout suit and he is quite cut. He wears this huge diamond earring, it's probably just a prop. He's a sports lawyer on the show I think or sports publicist. In March, he co-starred as Jennifer Love Hewitt's gay best friend in Oxygen's original movie "Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber." So you can see him "play" gay.
Joey Lawrence - am I Toothy Tile?
I saw that, and actually enjoyed it! But can you blame me? Jennifer is just fabulous.Originally Posted by muttley
Originally Posted by styxacheron

When I talked to him a few times he was very cool and polite, his trainer kept pushing him to keep going with his routine. And to the other guy in the thread, this was not that many years ago (I think he was about 25).
The only one i have is this one.
Isn't he doing or did a few guest roles on UPN's Half and Half?
He's still looking good
Border Boi
Is this a new movie?
No, "Horse Sense" was back in 1999. His brothers were in it with him. He looked the best in that movie than ever.
He really is aging quite well isn,t he.
I'd love to let him wrangle my beef.
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. ~Oscar Wilde
Hot yes and would love to see that hairy chest all grown out in it's glory......also I've always thought he's a much better actor than he is given credit for.....would love to see him do something serious and important........I think he's got the ability......
mmm, hmmm! yowza!
Shit, he shoulda been in Brokeback Mountain instead of Heath...OMG!
Very nice. I agree with jarcom, would like to see more.
If you want to see all three Lawrence brothers shirtless, check out "Jumping Ship" (the sequel to "Horse Sense"); Andrew may not have been legal, but his brothers were. It also stars Joseph (who has a problem keeping his shirt on), and Matthew is there as well (usually in a wifebeater, but some shirtless scenes as well)...
Isn't it weird that those that condemn others for being intolerant are usually the most intolerant themselves?
My How to Write Blog
My oh my! Nell Carter's "Little Joey" sure did grow up nicely!
The Three Musketeers... Bashful, Chrisglass, and Ronboy!
Joey has always be hot and I have always had a crush on him,simply lovely!!!
God it was because of his days in Blossom I began to realise I was Gay. Danm you Joseph lol.
So I'm guessing you guys haven't seen Joseph Lawrence on the UPN show Half and Half. He's wearing a buzz cut now. And is super hot! On one episode, he bares his chest, while wearing tight jeans- yummmmy!!
That face, those arms, the broad chest and narrow waist....gawd is he hot or what? I wanna see him shirtless with natural chest hair - no shaving puhleeze!!!
Mmmm..... sweet memories....
"Il n'y a pas d'hétéros, il n'y a que des mecs mal dragués ..." - Patrick Timsit in "Pédale Douce"
Half & Half was cancelled and won't be going to the new CW network. Does anyone know what projects, if any, Joey has lined up after Half & Half? If not, just post pictures of his ass or talk about his ass.
Joey is going to be in the next season of Dancing with the Stars in the U.S.
All three are hot and i believe the youngest is 18 or 19.
joey - hot
matt - hotter
andy - hhhhhaaaaaaaawwwwwwwtttttttttt!!!
My apologies if this has been posted.
Yeah, I've seen that frog lots of times before.
It looks like he is ready for a leather party or a night of S&M.
YES! a TOAD!!!
I went back to the page that I found that picture and it also had turned into a frog. The picture showed Joey in leather, shaved head, black gloss on fingernails, and less muscular than he used to be.
Well... go back there, save the pic, and post it.
Is this it? > http://img240.exs.cx/img240/6442/88joe23zj.gif
He was attending some costume affair when he was snapped in that getup.
Nice Frog you have there

Absorbs very quickly into skin and hydrates! Its currently my favorite serum. Works great with the Cellumination EX Creme. Id say the hydration level is comparable to Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Serum (My Holy Grail serum for the past 4 years). This is supposed to lighten hyper pigmentation too! I seem to see lightening up in post acne blemishes...but its only been 2 weeks and i also just started using the PMD (Personal Mircodermabrasion). So I cant be too sure if its from the serum.

The elephant in the county – the rise of the GOP in Tallapoosa CountyPublished 8:48pm Wednesday, June 11, 2014
The 1972 presidential election was the last time Democrats carried the state of Alabama, and the state has been well known for voting Republican on the national level for decades.
But on the local level, ballots cast and party affiliation are a more complex issue. Democrats are normally able to hold their own locally, but a recent voting trend is seeing Tallapoosa County begin to match the hue of Alabama on the national level.
The June 3 state primary elections saw 7,292 Tallapoosa County voters file ballots as Republicans and only 593 file as Democrats, an overwhelming margin that's a tad misleading when you consider that there were only two democratic races on the ballot both for state elections and none for Tallapoosa County.
But those numbers do not completely overshadow the trend that more Tallapoosa County voters are filing ballots as Republicans with each passing primary election.
In the June 1, 2004 primary, 4,813 voters in Tallapoosa County filed ballots as Democrats, with 1,408 casting ballots as Republicans.
For the June 6, 2006 primary, there was a closer margin of 4,737 casting ballots as Democrats and 4,352 as Republicans.
Democratic ballots overshadowed Republicans again in the June 3, 2008 primary by a 3,899 to 1,097 margin.
But in the June 1, 2010 primary, a clear change can be seen, with 5,466 voters casting ballots as Republicans and 2,321 casted ballots as Democrats, and in the March 13, 2012 primary voters casted 5,825 Republican ballots and 3,290 Democratic ballots.
Denise Bates, chairman of the Tallapoosa County Republican Party, said the trend reflects the county falling more along the lines of the state on a national level.
"With respect to the trend, it's been building for years. Tallapoosa County been voting heavily Republican at the national and state level for some time now. We're starting to get those votes now at the county level," Bates said. "It's a general trend now in Alabama that we're now a part of, and that's just Alabama becoming more Republican."
Randy Haynes, chairman of the Tallapoosa County Democratic Party, said the trend of county voters moving more toward Republicans in local races can partially be attributed to dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party on the national level.
"Obviously, the trend is not positive from a Democratic Party perspective. I believe people vote where the action is – if the race is about the best-qualified person, Democratic candidates tend to do well and are certainly competitive," Haynes said. "If the race is about the national image of each party, Southern Democrats are looking at a lot of futility."
As was the case with the 2014 primary election, lack of Democrats on the ballot can directly affect the number of voters casting ballots for the party, but that in and of it self can reflect a trend of Democrats not joining in the race due to the unlikelihood of victory in the November general election against a Republican opponent.
But the same can also be said on the Democratic side with county commissioners T.C. Coley and Emma Jean Thweatt both running unopposed in November.
In some instances, candidates have to adapt to the climate with some switching parties for any number of reasons.
"Party switching happens all the time. You've had Republicans switching to the Democrats side before and now you're having some Democrats switching to the Republican Party," Bates said. "It's just a sign of which side is winning at the time, as well as some changing philosophical beliefs of the parties. It's a combination of both of those."
And just like candidates, voters often adapt in the same way.
"There was a person that I saw in Dadeville this week who told me he voted in the Republican Primary for the first time in his life, but he said he wanted to vote for Jimmy Abbett," Haynes said. "I think that makes both of the points – individuals switching parties and the trend of people filing more Republican ballots."

Read an Excerpt
Western Front, 1918
The papers in the courier's saddlebags held information that might stop this madness. Thousands of soldiers on both sides had gasped out their lives in the mud and cesspools along the miles of trenches. Neither side could claim victory in this muddy waste. It was a land once recognized as being fertile. It had been cultured over hundreds of years and ready to grow bountiful crops, but now lay pitted like the pocked marked face of a person who had suffered from smallpox. The land was a labyrinth of pools formed by exploded shells, filled with water and human and animal parts rotting and adding to the high level of humus and bacteria. Those who fell wounded often ended up back behind the lines having legs or arms removed due to the ever-spreading gangrene. When was it all going to end?
The dispatch rider never thought beyond each day because one moment he might be sharing beer with a comrade, laughing about the failed attack by the British or French and in the next instant have to ask himself when he too would go over the top into the maelstrom of death. No, it didn't pay to think beyond the present because that was all he had to hold on to. He saluted as the officer quickly took the package from his outstretched hand.
"Sir, the orders have finally arrived!"
The officer looked at the sergeant with unseeing eyes. How many years had they been fighting this war? He knew that Germany was bleeding out of control, and no longer was there a belief that the cause was just. No longer did any new conscripts believe they were there to save the Fatherland. There were rumors that some had refused to come. Riots had occurred.Had that happened on the other side of the line as well? France was just a shadow of itself, with millions of men devoured by the mud. Some would never be found. Their graves would be the mud and their bodies would in time enrich the fields of Flanders. Thousands would have no known place in this world. They had disappeared out there in the vast expanse of mud, shell craters and the upheavals of underground mine detonations.
Helmut opened the orders with a fatalistic air, wondering what the generals had decided to do. He had seen some of their successes. The yellow clouds of mustard gas, like a genie being released from a magic bottle had enveloped the enemy. Never had he seen men turn back so fast, as they ran choking, stumbling in blindness to the rear. Using poisonous gas was the new low point in the deployment of weapons. It was the Canadians who held and fought until reinforcements could ensure the status quo was maintained.
With shock that he read the dispatch, it was not just orders, it was a personal letter from the General. At first he thought his father was using rank to get his eldest son out of the hell of the lines. Years before, Helmut would objected, believing it was only right for him to stay with his men. At this time it was a reprieve, a chance to see his wife of three months. He had seen her twice since they were married. Frieda had cried and begged that he go to his father and ask for a position at headquarters. Lovely Frieda always had a look of terror in her eyes when he headed back to the lines. Could she detect his change of attitude in his letters? Could she know he was now fearful for his life? So many things had changed. He would see what his father wanted, and then he could have some precious moments with the most beautiful girl in the world.
He reread his father's last note "There is a disease, a type of influenza, which has descended from God knows where and it is killing every young man it touches. There are reports that this disease was first discovered in Spain where it killed thousands. We are losing soldiers stricken with it in our training camps. No longer do we have men to replace those who have died on the firing line. If this continues and spreads, not a single man between 16 and 35 will be alive in six months. Helmut, as both your father and the General responsible for your Corps, I am ordering you home. Come as quickly as you can. Your brother Karl and your sister Madeline are now down with this disease.
The thought of returning to civilization away from the death-stalker was a relief for Helmut. After three years of war with advances and retreats, they were in a stalemate where no big victory could be achieved. How could their leaders think that such a war could be justified? Hadn't over a million men made the supreme sacrifice? He had learned to live with death. He had seen the foolish British rush into no-man's-land and be cut down by the hidden machine guns. He no longer felt he was doing something honorable as he cut them down in a hail of lead, leaving only posthumous medals to mark their death. Only the rats thrived on the front. They had all the food they could possibly eat; fresh meat, rotting meat and rations discarded in trenches.
The train home was filled with injured men. Nurses were carefully adjusting bandages, giving that care that keeps a man in awe and very much aware of these angels of mercy. To actually see fields of rye and hear the birds sing was like stepping into another world, the world where he had grown up in. This world had been lost to him as soon as the gray bodies left out in no-man's-land started to bloat.
He noticed that the towns and villages looked bleaker than before; there were no more young men or even old men sitting around the town squares and chatting. Few people were at the stations as the train discharged the returning invalid soldiers. Had the war bled the country to the point where the German vitality and the exuberance of youth were lost? He knew that many thousands of women would never find a mate now. There just weren't enough males available unless you believed a man could have many wives. That, at least, was a way to repopulate. He doubted that Frieda would support the idea of sharing him with other women needing the attentions of a man.
He heard the call of the ancient conductor. He looked to be 20 years beyond the normal retirement age. There was no one to replace an old man if he took his well-earned retirement.
The stop was just outside Berlin. Helmut noticed only three people at the station. He hadn't sent a message saying he was going to be on this train. There seemed to be no point with the new uncertainty of railroad schedules. The orderly railroad was now delivering war supplies and that took precedent over anything. Being late was not a habit he believed in, but he had no choice.
In his letter his Father had ordered him to come home. The old man would be suffering from the stress of being a general and seeing his men fall in such numbers. Then a sudden thought hit his son like a bullet from an English Enfield rifle. Had something happened to Frieda? Was this his father's way to get him home where the bad news could be more easily revealed?
Helmut grabbed his backpack and stepped down onto the platform. He didn't recognize anyone. His village was as quiet as a morgue. The sun still shone and covered the houses and stores in its bronze glow. Yes, that was a sign of life when the sun came out to welcome him home. He didn't have far to go and usually the path was well cared for, but he saw it had become overgrown with weeds.
Surely 1918 would be different but it had not started off much better than the year before. Hopes were locked inside. To think of the future was the quickest way to die. Once he had hopes of becoming a doctor and had begun to study medicine. The war changed all that. Oh he had saved many lives with his limited knowledge; if it weren't for his stitching and sewing more men would have died. He wasn't sure he could be a country doctor. He had seen too much blood for that. Still if he could save lives and improve the lot of those less fortunate than himself perhaps he could once again feel optimistic about life. Helping women give birth and hearing newborns cry was better than hearing the screams of the wounded that lapsed into curses, screams fade in moans and groans till death silenced them. He'd continue his studies and get back into the world of the living.
He knocked at the door of his father's country manor house. A strange foreboding gnawed at his heart. On cue, the door opened and Annie, the woman who had lived there as a housekeeper for nearly 50 years, beamed with affection as she recognized him.
Why Helmut, we didn't know you would arrive so quickly although we knew you would appear as soon as you could. Our message just went out this morning. You should have told us and we could have sent the coach to pick you up. It is a bad time for us all. I'm so sorry to have this waiting for you."
"Annie, I enjoyed the walk, so you will never hear me complain. What has happened? Where is Father?"
The old woman looked ashen. "You don't know then. You didn't receive the telegram."
"Father sent for me to come home at once. I have been on my way here. It's only three days since I received his letter."
The old nurse looked into the questioning eyes. "Helmut, your father died yesterday morning in his sleep. He caught the influenza and the poor man was in no shape to fight a bad cold. He died worn-out. He left you his diary and his notes, and there is a letter for your attention only."
Helmut reached for it. He could hardly remember anything that Annie said. His father was dead! He knew his father was a tireless worker, and the last time he saw him he looked completely spent. Now the flu had killed him. He opened the letter and felt his whole world close in on him.
My dear son. I fear this is a message that I never thought I would have to send to you. You may know as will the German people soon know, that despite their efforts and sacrifice this war has drawn us to an abyss that can surely destroy us. Now a greater threat is facing us and I suspect the world will feel its wrath. Our agents in Spain are telling us that people by the thousands are contracting a terrible disease that turns them black, and causes their lungs fill up with fluid. They die a horrible death within days. The doctors do not seem to know how to cure it. It has come into our land. People who are the healthiest seem to be stricken first, and then it is the tired and aged like me who come down with it. This is worse than the battles of the Somme. I have talked to our medical experts and they are predicting that whole nations will be destroyed. This is not like our battle against the British or the French. We always had people at home ready to take the places of the fallen, although we are now at the bottom of that barrel, but this disease, this epidemic, is killing without quarter. No longer can you go to work and believe that your family is happy and safe at home. Not now, not with this harbinger of death which carries a sword so sharp it cuts the life of a nation, and maybe of a continent, to the very core. Already 23,000 of our countrymen have died. I visited some hospitals where I saw young men and girls prostrate and dying before my eyes. I fear my visits have been my death sentence too.
My son, the doctors do not know what to do. They have tried many treatments without success. There is one expert in Britain who may have the ability to stop this disease. So I am asking you to take the leather pouch, which Annie will give to you. In it are three glass ampoules, which contain what our best physicians believe may provide a doctor by the name of Nigel Showmaker, with the means to find a solution that will arrest this disease. Go to Britain and find this doctor and tell him what is happening on this side of the Channel. He may already know. Rumors are now coming in that our enemy is now experiencing this fatal disease. It is time to forget about who the enemy is. Forget that the Kaiser and the King of England are cousins who are fighting and killing one another's countrymen. This disease has gone beyond nationalities. I fear it might destroy the human race.
The orders were approved last week when I presented my case. Little did they know that they were talking to a walking dead man. I am sorry to leave you like this. You have been my pride and joy. I wish that your dear old mother could have seen you grow up to be a fine young man. Good-bye my son.
Your loving father.
How long Helmut looked at the letter he did not know. The General, his father Hans Worstein, was dead. The world was falling apart and his father had wanted him to go on a mission that might save it. That was typical of his father. He was always so much ahead of the Junkers and the ruling class. He saw things from a global perspective and not just from that of a German. The thought of a disease so deadly it might destroy mankind was more than terrifying. He opened the leather pouch to look at the ampoules, which were sealed in wax. It was hard to believe that these three glass ampoules might hold the clue to saving the human race.
How was he to get to Britain? The British were now fighting them, killing and being killed. Would they suddenly allow a special envoy free passage to Scotland? He knew that no one would believe him. Indeed they could think it was a plot to introduce the disease into the British Isles.
* * *
The medical officer looked at the autopsy report, and then put the document down.
So this person was not just a poor unfortunate sailor or fisherman who fell overboard and drowned. The man was a soldier, and by the cut of his uniform he was not a subject of King George but rather of the Kaiser. His uniform confirmed that the wearer was a German officer. How he became entangled in a fish weir was a question that needed to be answered.
The top brass would need to be notified. A German officer dead in a fish weir in an estuary on the east coast of Scotland was bad enough. It didn't explain whether this man had first made a successful landing and had been in communication with others. He made a note to talk again to the two children who discovered the body. The other information in the autopsy report was not that useful. The body could have been there for a month or more, but due to a strange aberration, it was caught in an area where oxygen was at a minimal level, so normal decay had not been as fast as expected. That little gem of oceanographic information put the date of death at around 6-12 weeks ago. If this officer had died trying to escape from Britain, then only God knew how long he was tramping about.
Major Carmit looked at the medical officer, then back at the report.
"So this German, this spy might have been in communication with traitors or other German operators?"
"Yes Sir, that is a possibility."
"What makes you think he landed somewhere else and wasn't drowned landing in the estuary?"
Doctor Scot put his hand to his chin in thought. "The estuary is not an easy one to navigate. There are all sorts of eddies and currents, which is why a fish weir has been located there. From what I understand from the locals, it tends to wash in fish and other refuse from several miles away. At floodtide it can get rather difficult to avoid some of those whirlpools. A boat landing from say one of those U-boats wouldn't want to be caught the riptide, and during the daytime it would attract the attention of the local fishermen if a strange boat came in. No, I think this poor soul landed somewhere else, did what he wanted to do, then tried to make his way out to sea for a rendezvous and got sucked into the weir."
"That's quite a story. I hope we can find out if your idea is true. What is the reference to a leather pouch and two glass ampoules?"
"That's another strange thing. There was no identification on the body. Everything including labels from clothes had been carefully removed, but there was a pouch that appeared to be made especially for these glass ampoules. There were three spaces, but only two ampoules were present."
"What is so special about the ampoules?" the Major asked.
"I'm not sure, but each is encased in wax. The two are back in cold storage in my lab. But they were done up in a very professional manner. They were sealed for a reason and I didn't think it was a good idea to see what they contained."
"All right, I'll inform my superiors. So this man, whoever he was, drowned. It's a shame we couldn't have apprehended him before that. We better try to trace anything we can about your spy. I'll check with the coastal folks and see if any unusual activity took place. It's not the first time the Germans have tried to plant spies. But this ampoule thing is worrisome. What do you think they may contain?"
"I've been thinking about that. I'm not too sure that I have all the evidence. I'll go back and do a more thorough examination of the body and take samples of the organs, just to be sure. I have a feeling that drowning in the fish weir was just too simple. We are getting rumors. In Spain a horrific epidemic is killing people by the thousands. It is believed that now it has crossed into France and Germany. If it's truly dangerous and someone discovered what it was, possibly it could be used as a weapon by releasing it here. Once a lethal disease takes hold it can go through a population like a brush fire. It may be nothing like that, but it might be something as heinous as germ warfare. We've already experienced poison gas. I've seen men blinded by it and choking unable to breathe. What a better way to break an enemy's will to fight if all those who are dear to them on the front line and the home front are dying of a terrible disease. These ampoules might contain something extremely dangerous."
"How are we to know if those ampoules are deadly? Have we anyone here who is an expert in communicable disease?"
The doctor nodded his head. "Yes, we have a local resident who is recognized worldwide. He lives in a small hamlet just north of here. Dr Nigel Showmaker, M.D. is quite a fellow. Maybe he could help."
"Have the police ring him up and get him involved. If you are correct, we may have a disaster already in the making. You said there were spaces for three ampoules. So where is the third one?"

Our Morning Roundup: The Singing in the Rain Edition
Good morning, everyone. Tuesday's forecast calls for calm, dreary skies with a 60 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms. Lovely, London's come for a visit. Beware of the mud!
In case you missed it, Dan Snyder's getting his wealth from cancer victims and Big Bear Cafe's having their liquor license formally protested.
Metro is upping their security this week, after a teenager dressed as a Metro bus driver drove off in a bus last Friday from a Bladensburg Road garage and picked up some passengers, before crashing into a tree. (That audition for a summer job didn't quite work out.) If you're worried, take the Metro subway, though you may run into a situation like yesterday's smoke-filled Dupont Circle station extravaganza. Over in Georgetown, an 11-year-old boy, visiting from out of town, was fatally struck on Sunday. And on the other side of the river, possible human remains found in Lorton, Va. These roundups of mine strangely always seem to consist of death and murder.
Former Councilmember Vincent Orange, released his "Orange Plan" for leading the D.C. Council yesterday—from his posters to his website, everything is orange with this man. Wonder if he'll dress as an orange one of these days. His five-point plan, reports WaPo, includes:
"...expanding pre-K programs for toddlers and vocational and employment training for young adults, reducing energy costs for residents and enforcing employment measures designed to ensure better wages and more jobs for District residents."
In other news, Northrop Grumman is moving its headquarters from Los Angeles to a 333,000 square-foot building near Falls Church, Va. by next summer. Woohoo! More jobs, more people, more traffic, more misery! Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell has reversed the state's bottled water ban and apparently it's your brain, not your tummy telling you to eat that chocolate cake—and all this time, I thought my tummy was controlling everything.
That's all for this morning, folks. Cheer up. It's raining!
