New Hope storm shelter nears completionPublished 9:47am Friday, September 13, 2013
By Charles Molineaux
NEW HOPE – The city of New Hope will soon offer a place of safety during times of severe weather. Work is nearly complete on a community storm shelter in the center of town, an emergency asset Mayor Butch Taylor said was eagerly anticipated.
"We don't have anywhere here for our citizens to go when we have a tornado warning," Taylor explained. "We have a number of mobile homes, and you know what happens to mobile homes when a tornado comes through."
New Hope's neighborhood safe room is projected for completion by Oct. 1 with a formal dedication scheduled for October 12. It will offer a refuge unique in Madison County.
"We're the first municipality that has put in a shelter like this," said Taylor.
The facility consists of twin metal cylinders now in place on Main Drive, installed by Safe-T-Shelters of Danville. The company's promotional materials claim its structures have withstood EF-5 tornadoes.
"People ride by," Taylor laughed. "Some of them are thinking 'What in the world is it?' When they find out, they're so excited they've got someplace to go."
Site preparation, grading and concrete work were done by city, county and volunteer workers. Taylor estimated the total cost of the project at $90,000, paid for by donations, the city's general fund and cash reserves.
This community was shaken by the devastation wreaked by tornadoes in 2011, Taylor said.
"We've been very fortunate it's never come this way," he said. "But, you never know."
Under the city's plan, keys to the shelter will be issued to police, firefighters and families who live nearby so any of them can open it in time of crisis.
Each of the two cylinders is designed to comfortably seat 96 people but can accommodate up to 150 in a pinch for a total capacity of 300. If weather threatens, Taylor promised the shelter will be open to any in need, not just New Hope city residents.
"We're not going to turn anyone away," he insisted. "If there's room, we'll try to get them in. If there's not, we'll still try."


text: Noobie here to ADVRider, I decided to post this build up here because I need all the help I can get from as many people, so here it is. I recently got this for a sweet deal. It needed some work, I lubed all of the splines, the clutch is great and the gear box is clunky as expected, however the engine is great and other then the fairing being cracked on the side from a spill its in great shape. I will be replacing the rear master brake cylinder, removing the non functioning abs replacing pads and shoes, new k&n air filter and I will either replace the exhaust with an aftermarket, supertrapp luftmeister or staintune, and if I cant find those for a good price ill just cut the exhaust in half and do a little weld job there or remove the muffler add a short pipe and heat wrap it. The fork tubes were pitted so I have a set of replacement forks in amazing condition. So thats that Im going for a more aggressive Tatanka look. This bike is great I love her. pulls like a train and I have so many extras on this bike and spare luggage to sell or already sold that the job will pay for itself. Here comes a beauty checklist: Brat cafe seat welded and fabricated fairing removal headlight replacement and mirrors brake overhaul clip ons or low renthal bars new acewell or kono speedo or just remove it entirely paint job green or black or raw steel or i dont know tail end = license plate, tail light, front and rear indicators fork replacement steel side panels hammered out and painted wheel powdercoat If possible new wasp style racing fairing exhaust replacement

Crisis in Germanys Social Democratic Party
The big weekend blowout in Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) demonstrates how to cut off your nose to spite your face. In a series of small, smaller and smallest secret gatherings the party leaders — facing a disastrous seepage of members and voters because of their switch rightwards in recent years — got rid of party chief Kurt Beck, who had tried to repair things by risking a few timid steps in a vaguely 'leftish' direction, and put the party's future into the hands of two unabashed right-wingers, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeyer and the former Vice-Chancellor and party head Franz Muentefering.
Austria, Bavaria and Brandenburg go to the polls
Berlin — Bavaria, Germany's largest state, borders on Austria: Both have countless Alpine peaks, lots of men in lederhosen, and many right-wing Roman Catholic traditions. Both had elections on Sunday. Before nightfall many an otherwise happy yodeler showed tightly compressed lips and a grim look.
For Canadian elections, left parties urge green economy, social spending
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The country's political parties are on the campaign trail in the wake of Conservative Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's recent surprise call for an election to be held Oct. 14.

Nearly half a year after disputed elections and following two months of delicate negotiations, Zimbabweans on Sept. 15 welcomed the signing of a unity government agreement by President Robert Mugabe and opposition politicians.

Venezuela & Honduras defy Bush administration
In an act of solidarity with Bolivia, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez expelled U.S. Ambassador Patrick Duddy on Sept. 11, one day after Bolivian President Evo Morales had declared Ambassador Philip Goldberg "persona non grata." Proclaiming that "until there is a government in the United States that respects the people of Latin America, there will be no Venezuelan Ambassador in that country," Chavez withdrew veteran ambassador Bernardo Alvarez from Washington, just a step ahead of his expulsion.

As the struggle sharpened to uphold national authority and oppose forces for autonomy in Bolivia's East, Washington's role in weeks of conflict there led the government of Evo Morales to eject U.S. Ambassador Philip Goldberg on Sept. 10.

NATO, an idea whose time has gone
When NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was founded after World War II, its first secretary general, British general Lord Ismay, succinctly stated its real, original purpose: "To keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down." In other words, NATO was supposed to be an instrument not for spreading democracy, but for maintaining geopolitical hegemony in Europe by the Western capitalist states. Very soon, of course, the idea of keeping the Germans "down" was scrapped, and Germany became a major actor in NATO military matters.

Wide receiver Millines suspended from Illini football
At a news conference Monday, Illinois football head coach Tim Beckman announced that wide receiver Darius Millines has been suspended from the team for breaking team rules. Beckman did not elaborate on the circumstances of Millines' suspension, stating only that his status will be re-evaluated in May, following the spring season.
Millines, who is preparing for his senior season next fall, caught 32 passes for 319 yards last season for the Illini. He missed two games because of injury, recovering from a torn labrum in his shoulder. The injury would have kept him off the field during the spring had the suspension not occurred.
"We hate to do it," Beckman said. "But we're going to make sure we're doing things the proper way. We have team policies here and we expect them to be followed."
Millines will continue to rehab and attend tutoring sessions. When asked if he expects to see Millines in an Illini uniform next fall, recently hired offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said: "That's up to him. He's got to figure it out."
Millines' 2012 statistics were not particularly memorable. But considering Illinois' leading wide receiver, Ryan Lankford, only amassed 469 yards and five touchdowns, Millines impact was significant.
Talking about practice
Millines' suspension comes one day before Illinois' spring practice season begins. Illinois will have its first of 15 practices Monday, culminating with the spring game April 12.
In addition to the Millines suspension, Beckman announced former quarterback Miles Osei has been permanently moved to wide receiver. Osei played in all 12 games last year, splitting time between quarterback and wide receiver. He caught six passes for 50 yards and threw for 79 yards on eight completions.
Cubit named Osei, Justin Hardee, Spencer Harris, Steve Hull (who is also new to the receiver position, having spent the last three years at safety) and Ryan Lankford as the wide receivers he expects to step up and be heavy contributors.
Cubit has not seen quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase throw yet, except on tape. He said it's going to be a while before the offense gets accustomed to his system. As the head coach at Western Michigan the previous eight seasons, Cubit's offense was known for its up-tempo style and its high-volume passing attack. In a four-win season in 2012, the Broncos passed for 3,477 yards, more than the Illini gained rushing and passing combined.
For the Illini to improve, much of the burden will rest on Scheelhaase's shoulders.
"The biggest adjustment will be for the quarterbacks," Cubit said. "Instead of just calling plays from the sidelines, he's got to be a coach out there on the field."
Filling holes
Beckman said the No. 1 goal for spring practice is to create a physical atmosphere. Tight end Jon Davis, linebacker Jonathan Brown and defensive back Earnest Thomas will have limited contact because of injury. All three saw significant time on the field in 2012.
The biggest question mark for Illinois heading into the spring season is its secondary; all four starters from last season have graduated. Beckman expects Thomas, Eaton Spence and V'Angelo Bentley to have major contributions next season.
Additionally, the center position is still up for grabs. Tony Durkin is the projected starter, but Joe Spencer and Jake Feldmeyer are expected to compete for the position.
The Illini will practice three times a week for the next six weeks, with one week off for spring break. Five practices will be open to the public, including Saturday at noon. Beckman said he expects as many as 70 high school prospects to be visiting Saturday.
"This is what we come for: to coach football," Beckman said. "If we would have ended up winning (last year), you're still excited about stepping onto that football field. I'm excited about stepping out there tomorrow."

Re: Do I have a problem? ;)
Repo-ed - I looked into those when I was doing a lot of research on investing. To me, the numbers did not work. IF I was to invest in the bonds, I'd have to print out a paper certificate and lock it up so it doesn't get lost or forgotten. And it would definitely be a LONG term strategy.
I looked at tax free munipal bonds awhile back. Did a lot of research into those. On the surface they sound great. But overall, there's no guarantee there will ever be a return on your investment. I watched their performance for several months and it was gut wrenching to watch the value go up and then plummet... And the ones I looked into all required several thousand to get a piece of the action. I didn't have several thousand at the time.
So for now, I am sticking to CD's, short term and long term ones. At least I know the balance will go up (and not down) and I will have easy access to cash if needed every few weeks as the short term (one year or less) CD's mature. I have only cash on that once - but the short term CD's were intended for a specific purpose.
I just started doing "even out" payments on the Navy CD's. I LOVE being able to add funds to existing CD's!

Army transporters: In it for the long haul
August 13, 2009
By Spc. Jay Venturini, 354TH MPAD
Story Highlights
- Army transporters during Golden Cargo annual training are in it for the long haul.
SIERRA ARMY DEPOT, Calif. (Aug. 13, 2009) - Working long hours with little recuperation time can make a Soldier in a transportation company feel like they are a commercial truck driver. However, for many Army truck drivers, that's the way they like it. During the Golden Cargo exercise here recently, drivers from transportation companies throughout the nation will head out onto the highways and complete a vital mission of transporting obsolete ammunition to Hawthorne Army Depot, Nev. for destruction. "I love being on the roads," said Spc. Kevin Felty, 261st Ordnance Company truck driver, Charleston, W. Va. "It's a lot of hard work and long hours but I think it's worth it." Since the beginning of the exercise, convoys have made the 168-mile trek between the two installations on a daily basis. On many occasions, the trip was made in a single day. "This has been great training, especially for those who haven't deployed, because this is the same kind of pace that you experience over there," said Felty, who deployed to Iraq for a year as a truck driver. Due to the long hours on the road and traveling amongst civilian traffic, safety is always the top priority. "Before anyone rolls out the gate every truck [is] thoroughly inspected and every Soldier receives a convoy and safety brief," said 1st Lt. Eddie Woody, Golden Cargo safety officer, 423rd Transportation Company, Colorado Springs, Colo. No matter where Soldiers are deployed to around the world, there will always be a need for highly trained Army truck drivers and transportation companies. This makes the training at Golden Cargo vital to the overall readiness of the Army, Felty explained. "We are always in demand, which is why we [need] to keep our skills sharp because we know it's only a matter of time until we get that call to go overseas," said Felty. "When that call does come, we'll be ready."

Alexandria Beer Board Grants Two Permits
Two business owners have been granted a permit to sell beer in Alexandria.
The Alexandria Beer Board, made up of the city aldermen, voted 4 to 0 Tuesday night to grant Bobby Kenneth Clayborn's application for a permit at his convenience store, C & C Market at 212 Brush Creek Road or Highway 53.
Aldermen Eddie Tubbs, Charles Griffith, Derrick Baker, and Tony Tarpley voted to approve the application. Clayborn's wife Shelia, who is an alderman and member of the beer board, abstained from voting. Another member, Maureen Tubbs, was not present during the vote.
The second application, filed by Robert Simpson, owner of Big Rock Storage on Nashville Highway or Highway 70, was also approved. All five members present voted in favor including Tubbs, Griffith, Baker, Tarpley, and Clayborn.
Prior to the vote, City Attorney Vester Parsley, Jr. explained that "state law requires the city to approve them (applications) if they (applicants)have met the requirements. From what we see, they have technically met the requirements by state law and by the city ordinance."
Two concerned citizens, Robert Walker and Stein Prichard, raised questions prior to the vote and Prichard had petitions bearing 340 signatures including names of 148 Alexandria city residents who he says are in opposition.
The following is a summary of the discussion:
Robert Walker: "What about the citizens of Alexandria that don't want beer in this town? We have 148 signatures here."
City Attorney Parsley: "There's always going to be someone who doesn't want beer but if they (applicants) meet these requirements then it's up to the aldermen. It's not up to me."
Walker: "I think if you're going to go against 148 citizens of the City of Alexandria then I think everyone of you should resign. They didn't have three readings on that (ordinance). They didn't post it in the paper or anything."
Alderman Eddie Tubbs: Yeah, we had three readings and we posted everything in the paper."
Mayor Ria Baker: You're representing 149 people. There are more than 149 people in the city of Alexandria. There's about 700 people in Alexandria."
Walker: "Why do you want to sell beer in this town? It's not going to give you much more revenue. You're going for two people and two people only."
At this point, Mayor Baker was ready to move the meeting along and to allow Stein Prichard to speak for two minutes, but Walker wanted more time. The following is a summary of the discussion:
Walker: "I have a right to talk"
Parsley: "The mayor can decide whether you've used your time up and if she says you have, then you either stop or you'll be escorted out, one or the other."
Walker: "That's not right. I'm a citizen of this town."
Parsley: "I understand you are and she has given you a right to talk but you don't have an exclusive right to just talk all night. We're not going to be here all night. If she says she's going to end your part of it she can go to the next one and go as far as she wants to."
At this point in the meeting, Mayor Baker gave Stein Prichard an opportunity to speak:
Prichard: "I just want to ask the board if they think that everything that has been done to bring beer into the city, if it's completely legal and if everything has been done according to the law. Everything that brought beer into the city, if it was done right?"
Alderman Charles Griffith: "If we didn't, we wouldn't do this Stein.
Mayor Baker: "What we have done, we have done right."
Prichard: "Do you feel like you are representing the people of Alexandria as aldermen and the beer board? You haven't asked the people."
Griffith: "I think we're doing what's within the law. It's in our charter now."
Prichard: "Are you representing the people? You haven't asked the people. Are you representing them as aldermen of the town of Alexandria?"
Alderman Tony Tarpley: "Stein, I've asked several people and I've had some yes's and some no's. A lot of them feel like we are losing revenue to towns that are close to us. If people are going to buy beer, they're going to go and get their beer. It would probably actually keep people from being out here drinking and driving, if they're going to Watertown or Gordonsville or wherever to buy it."
Prichard: "I just want to know if you feel like you're representing the people because you didn't have a vote, you didn't ask them and this is a major thing that you are doing. You should really as a vote, you should ask the people."
Griffith: "There's so many things we have to do. We just can't ask the people on everything."
Prichard: "But this is a major thing. You had to change several things to make this come about and you still didn't ask the people. It doesn't seem that you're representing the people at all when you don't ask them."
Griffith: "Like Tony said, we've asked some people and it varies."
Alderman Eddie Tubbs: "When they brought liquor in at Gordonsville, did you go over there and voice your opinion on it?
Prichard: "I don't have anything to do with Gordonsville."
Tubbs: "You live in Smith County."
Prichard: But I work here. I'm here all the time and I go to church here. I don't have any ties to Gordonsville."

"Bon Voyage" Sails to High Debut; Focus Features Takes "Eternal Sunshine" Wide
by Brian Brooks
Jean Paul Rappeneau's "Bon Voyage" touched down at the specialty box office pinnacle last weekend, with a sensational opening engagement at the Paris Theater in New York, knocking off last week's topper, "Games People Play: New York," which still remained a competitor in fourth place on the chart, as ranked by per screen average. "James' Journey to Jerusalem" increased its average over last week, while "The Passion of the Christ" expanded slightly, reining in continued large audiences.
In the macro look at the weekend's box office, 65 specialty releases were tracked, an increase from 58. The total gross came in at $22.45 million, vs. $36.74 million previously, a decline of 39%, for an indie-wide per screen average of $4,068, a decline of 34% from last week's $6,170, but still above the industry-wide average of $3,163 for the week ($3,157 previously). Once again, "The Passion" consumed much of the largesse, with grosses from that film totaling about 86% of the entire specialty take. Factoring out that one title, the indie gross would have been about $3.04 million, a decline from the $4.6 million figure last week (minus "The Passion").
Last weekend's release of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," by Michel Gondry sparked an internal debate at indieWIRE of whether to track the film as a specialty release. Eventually, we decided to spotlight the film in this article but not track the film in the iW BOT due to the combination of its financing, star power and wide debut in theaters. Still, iW consistently tracks Focus Features releases, and has followed the feature career of Gondry, thus the compromise. "Eternal Sunshine" grossed over $8.175 million over the weekend for a $6,042 per screen average on 1,353 screens. Had the title been ranked on the iW BOT, it would have appeared third on the chart, and would have added nearly a third to the total gross for the indie market for the weekend.
"We're ecstatic that it opened so well, not only was the weekend gross extremely sizeable, but what happened inside the theaters was exciting," commented Focus distribution chief Jack Foley in a telephone conversation from Las Vegas, where he is attending ShoWest. Foley went on to say that the film's draw among what he termed a "core" group of 17-35 year-olds (split about evenly male to female) was a positive sign for the film's 'longer term' viability. "A lot of theaters pretty much sold out around the country. In Manhattan and L.A. [as well as] Portland, Chicago, Seattle, we went 'clean' in all shows. In Union Square on Saturday, there wasn't a seat that wasn't sold out all day Saturday, and the Grove and the Arc Light in Los Angeles was pretty much the same."
Foley continued to comment that the satisfaction levels for the core 17-35 year demograph was high, which helped bring out the baby boomers later in the weekend. Jim Carrey also steered audiences to theaters as well, and the star's role in the film also influenced the New York-based film company's decision to release the film widely on its first weekend. "It's the smart thing to do -- to exploit the Jim Carrey factor," said Foley. "We went with both Jim's broad based appeal coupled with [scribe] Charlie Kauffman's off-beat sensibility [to sell the film]. We also sought out areas where Jim has played well in the past." Foley also explained that Focus spent a lot of money to market the film initially, so that by the time it opens outside of urban areas and college towns (where Foley said the film also did big business) it should be received well and "perceived as a commercial film."
Jim Carrey's appeal also translated into overall high box office numbers, which Focus was eager to exploit outright with a wide release, versus a limited debut Foley indicated. "Would you rather have a bigger smaller number, or a smaller bigger number?" he laughed comparing the appeal of a high per screen average with a limited bow as opposed to a higher general gross. "Give me the money," he laughed, "Gross is my favorite measure." Going forward, the film will remain at about the same number of screens according to Foley who added, "We're already in the theaters where there are the right audiences." He also commented that the release of the Coen brothers' "The Ladykillers" and Kevin Smith's "Jersey Girl" will be the "Eternal Sunshine"'s upcoming hurdles. "The Coens will be a big competitor to ['Eternal Sunshine'], they're the same audiences, and the boomers like Tom Hanks, but we've nurtured the film to [go forward] powerfully."
Sony Pictures Classics' "Bon Voyage" sailed to the apex of the specialty box office over the weekend. The film, which was France's official entry to the Academy for best foreign language consideration this year, packed a whopping $27,480 at the Paris in Midtown Manhattan where the feature debuted. indieWIRE placed calls to Sony Classics for comment from the company's co-presidents, Tom Bernard and Michael Barker, but neither were available due to their attendance at ShoWest.
Zeitgeist's "James' Journey to Jerusalem" packed a bigger per screen average in one theater (down from two), grossing $6,735. The film averaged $3,705 previously. Since release three weeks ago, the film has cumed $27,751.
"The Passion of the Christ" crusaded its way to 3,250 screens, up from 3,221, taking in over $19.41 million for a strong $5,974 per screen average, down from $9,975 last week. Now one month in theaters, the film has totaled over $295.5 million.
Last week's number one film, "Games People Play: New York" added one engagement, grossing $11,870 for a per screen of $5,935 ($12,364 previously). The film has now cumed $30,649.
Sony Classics expanded "Good Bye, Lenin!" with screenings in 43 venues, up from 16 last week for a $247,592 gross. "Lenin" averaged a still robust $5,758 average one month into its release ($9,384 last week) and has totaled $643,221.
Self-distributed stalwart "The Gatekeeper" catapulted to the top tier of the rankings over the weekend, grossing $10,841 at two theaters for a $5,421 per screen average, a big jump from $856 previously. The film, which has been in release a remarkable 47 weeks, has cumed $255,531.
The weekend's debuts included Palm Pictures' Icelandic feature, "Nói," which took in $4,808 in one venue, while IFC Films rolled out "Intermission" on 10 screens with a $39,936 take for a $3,994 per screen average.
Next weekend's debuts include Las von Trier's anticipated "Dogville." Also slated is festival fav "Mayor of the Sunset Strip," "A Foreign Affair," from Innovation Film Group, and Focus' "Ned Kelly."

Chapter 10
Insult of the Ammonites. 1 k 1–19: 1 Chr 19, 1–19 . Some time later * the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun succeeded him as king. 2David thought, "I will be kind to Hanun, son of Nahash, as his father was kind to me." So David sent his servants with condolences to Hanun for the loss of his father. But when David's servants entered the country of the Ammonites, 3the Ammonite princes said to their lord Hanun: "Do you think that David is honoring your father by sending men with condolences? Is it not rather to explore the city, to spy on it, and to overthrow it, that David has sent his messengers to you?" 4Hanun, therefore, seized David's servants and, after shaving off half their beards and cutting away the lower halves of their garments at the buttocks, sent them away. l Is 20, 4 . 5When he was told of it, King David sent out word to them, since the men were quite ashamed. "Stay in Jericho until your beards grow," he said, "and then come back."
Ammonites Defeated. 6 *In view of the offense they had given to David, the Ammonites sent for and hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth‐rehob and Zobah, as well as the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and twelve thousand men from Tob. m 2 Sm 8, 3; 1 Sm 14, 47 . 7On learning this, David sent out Joab with the entire levy of trained soldiers. n 2 Sm 11, 1 . 8The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance of their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah remained apart in the open country. 9When Joab saw the battle lines drawn up against him, both front and rear, he made a selection from all the picked troops of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans. 10He placed the rest of the soldiers under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites. 11Joab said, "If the Arameans are stronger than I, you shall help me. But if the Ammonites are stronger than you, I will come to help you. 12Be brave; let us prove our valor for the sake of our people and the cities of our God; the LORD will do what he judges best." 13When Joab and the soldiers who were with him approached the Arameans for battle, they fled before him. 14The Ammonites, seeing that the Arameans had fled, also fled from Abishai and withdrew into the city. Joab then ceased his attack on the Ammonites and returned to Jerusalem.
Arameans Defeated. 15 o 15–19: 2 Sm 8, 3–8; 1 Chr 9, 16–19 . Then the Arameans responded to their defeat by Israel with a full mustering of troops; 16Hadadezer sent for and enlisted Arameans from beyond the Euphrates. They came to Helam, with Shobach, general of Hadadezer's army, at their head. 17On receiving this news, David assembled all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and went to Helam. The Arameans drew up in formation against David and fought with him. 18But the Arameans gave way before Israel, and David's men killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand of the Aramean foot soldiers. Shobach, general of the army, was struck down and died on the field. 19All of Hadadezer's vassal kings, in view of their defeat by Israel, then made peace with the Israelites and became their subjects. And the Arameans were afraid to give further aid to the Ammonites.

Tweet Pin It Cung Le vs. Wanderlei Silva Fight Gifs UFC 139 Cung Le vs. Wanderlei Silva Fight Video UFC 139 7 Comments cuervoplays November 20, 2011 I actually agree with most of what Dana says, and have a ton of respect for the UFC business model, but the Fox show DID NOT go well. If it did, he wouldn't have looked so obviously pissed off after the event. I think it will be part a learning experience, and not the end of the world, but to deny that it could have been much better is just burying your head in the sand. Reply samiel November 20, 2011 dana is totally right about the fox fight. Reply RickNasty November 21, 2011 either Shogun should have won or it should have been a draw. After taking that much punishment and coming back, THAT is the heart of a f*cking true champion. Reply johnny6pack November 21, 2011 @cuervoplays: the only thing that the UFC did wrong for the Fox show was not show the Guida-Henderson fight. Aside from that, they achieved every goal they had for that event. Sure, they could've cracked 10 million viewers with a lead-in from Bendo-Guida, but it was a one-off deal off the contract. So they GAVE that fight away to Fox. For free. UFC revenue for that fight was the gate. Reply kuelniss November 21, 2011 You're on crack if you think the UFC gave that fight to Fox free, that's a huge draw of a fight. They made a deal for it, trust me, you're an idiot. Reply cuervoplays November 21, 2011 @johny6pack: "the only thing that the UFC did wrong for the Fox show was not show the Guida-Henderson fight." Putting everything into one fight that lasted a minute is not a little mistake. You could see how annoyed Dana was about that, and he's just trying to save face now. As for their "goals" for the event, I would say the main goal was to draw in more regular fans. Do you think that there are a lot of "new fans" who saw the JDS/Cain fight and are now saying "wow, I have to see more fights like that. That was awesome!"? Reply agent002 November 22, 2011 i love fuel tv…but i think if he put the whole card on fox it would of been huge. even if the main event went the way it did.

Great in coffee and smoothies.
It's OK
Posted by Reviewer2093432 on Mar 02, 2013
I got this because I read several reviews that mentioned the good vanilla flavor. While I can smell the vanilla before I put this in my coffee, once it's in there, it might as well be regular stevia. Bit of a weird after-taste, too.
little bitter !

Not so bad! I should just One spoid!
Not as good as I hoped
Posted by OKOKOK on Aug 01, 2012
I've heard so much about this vanilla stevia so I just had to try it. It was not really what I excpected, I don't think I will order it again. I don't really like the sweetness of stevia.
Posted by Reviewer2608316 on Apr 30, 2012
I tried the powder before and liked it much better, but maybe I just need to get use to it.
all right
Posted by Norwegianchick on Apr 04, 2012
lovely vanilla taste. works wonderfully with various recepies, natural yoghurt, smoothies, frosting, cereal... but if you use too much (Just one drop too many) it tastes really yucky and bitter/artificial. I think my stomach reacts to this one, but I have no idea why. It's not like that with the other stevia products i've tried.
Posted by Reviewer1063193 on Feb 15, 2012
Tastes really good, but it is not very sweet although it is stevia..

I used this as sweetening in tea and in hot chocolate, gives a good taste
Tastes like candy
Posted by Reviewer1124894 on Oct 01, 2011
I bought this for making marshmallows, and to be honest, that's the only thing I can think of using this for. The taste is just too candy-ish to use it in oatmeal or coffee/tea in my opinion.
Good product
Posted by Reviewer1867528 on Sep 14, 2011
A bit "fake" taste and not very vanilla like, but it's ok to use in coffee, sweet pancakes and stuff like that.

7 thoughts on "Cashman: Yankees not actively pursuing trade targets right now"
the yankees and the 200 million dollar payroll still want to make moves why dont they just buy another team
Why you mad cause your team doesn't have the money to do it….
I feel really bad for the other Billionaire owners ,especially the ones who profit from revenue sharing but don't put it back into their teams and could care less about their fans
All the haters of the Yanks out there…..don't be jealous because the Steinbrenners actually care about their fans. It really is simple and ANY team can follow the formula for success:
1) Spend money to retain your star players (as opposed to trading them in their walk years) so that a loyal fan base is created that will last for generations. Yankee fans get to follow the whole careers of Jeter, rivera etc. and in return spend lots of money buying tickets and merchendise/food at the stadium.
2) Spend money on whatever is needed to win. If you win…..fans will come to the park and spend money on tickets, food, drinks, merchendise. If fans come to the games and watch on TV, advertisers will spend more money on ads.
3) Further, if you win, the team will have more home games in the playoffs and maybe world series, which in turn leads to more money made in tickets, ads, food, drionks, merchendise…..which
4) Leads to more profit for the owners….which leads to more money to spend on players who will help you win.
Sick of hearing the crying. Why would anyone be a Royals, Pirates, Padres, Indians fan etc. when the owners make NO effort to win?????
Cole Hamels, and Matt Garza look ABSOLUETLY SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in pinstripes

Sarah's Antidote
Is the J.T. Leroy scandal what you think it is?
Last Friday, Laura Albert—the woman who created "J.T. LeRoy," the transgender former teen prostitute who nominally wrote two novels and a short story collection—lost a lawsuit brought by Antidote International Films. Antidote had purchased the rights to LeRoy's first novel, Sarah—the novel that had made Leroy something of a literary celebrity—before the world learned that LeRoy was actually Albert's creation. After the mask dropped, Antidote sued, asking for development costs back plus punitive damages, claiming that the contract was invalid because one party to it did not exist. Albert defended herself by recounting her real history of child sexual abuse, explaining (in the Paris Review and on the witness stand) that victims can split themselves into personae: J.T., she maintained, was part of her. Antidote countered by pointing to events in which someone else (usually Albert's ex-partner's half-sister, Savannah Knoop) played the role of LeRoy in public. J.T. was no split personality, therefore, but a deliberate fake, designed to get attention for Albert's writings. Albert will now have to cough up $116,500 unless she prevails on appeal.
But step back for a moment: Sarah is a novel, not a memoir. It contains the same events, in the same order, no less "true" or "false" than they were before the hoax was exposed. What, with Albert unmasked, did Antidote lose? The answer, it seems, is that Antidote wanted, and paid for, and lost, the right to call Sarah a product of LeRoy's life. "We bought the identity of the book's author," one Antidote employee said. The value of the novel, in Antidote's view, depended not on what was between its covers, but on who the producers thought the author was (and on their belief that the novel derived directly from events in his life). Almost all the press around Albert's deception—including stories about the trial—has treated "LeRoy's" fiction the same way, as something akin to falsified autobiography.
That's a shame, and not just because Sarah is still a good read. Before the scandal broke, I taught the novel in a college class (called Sexuality and Literature): Most of my students loved it. Though the book's narrator is, as "LeRoy" was, a cross-dressing Appalachian teen prostitute, the novel is not and could not be a slice of any imaginable real life. Instead, Sarah is a defiantly unrealistic fantasia on the difference between memoir and fiction. It's also a poke in the eye for anyone who thinks—as many people around "LeRoy" thought—that a novel should document an author's life.
To see what's fanciful, and what's implausible, about Sarah, we can begin on the first page, where we meet the narrator's generous, articulate pimp, who oversees a ring of prostitutes in his corner of Appalachia. Glading Grateful ETC (the "ETC" is part of his name) uses ingenuity and "Choctaw magic" to enhance the beauty and the sexual technique of his "lot lizards" (or truck-stop prostitutes), especially his "goodbuddy lot lizards" (male prostitutes). We are in a highly stylized world, even if we're also in a world of abuse and trauma familiar to us from addiction memoirs: The prostitutes "affectionately refer to each other as baculum, which … means 'little rod' in Latin"; they all wear necklaces of raccoon penis bone, which confers supernatural protection, and they hang out at the Doves Diner, a paradisaic truck stop whose menu includes "Wellington of King Salmon with truffle mashed potatoes." The Doves is part wish-fulfillment—if only real truck-stop hookers had such protection!—and part a colorful exaggeration of urban coastal beliefs about Appalachia.
The novel grows only more fantastic from there, but any close reader will notice that the plot duplicates other coming-of-age stories, in which a troubled teen with special powers runs away, discovers himself by taking a big risk, and then has to be saved with help from a surrogate parent. The barely teenaged narrator, who calls himself Cherry Vanilla, has learned how to dress like a girl from his prostitute mother, Sarah. The plot is set in motion when the mother disappears, leaving Cherry in the sole protection of Glad. Cherry then resolves to show his independence by disobeying Glad and crossing an accursed bridge (in drag) to ask a magic boon from a "jackalope" hung from the wall of a local bar. (Jackalopes are fake hunting trophies: jack rabbits with antlers.) This one apparently has the mystical power to grant prostitutes' wishes, and the narrator asks for success in his trade: He wants to be the sexiest, most feminine, highest-earning cross-dressing prostitute he can be.
Seeking adulthood (and sexual and economic power), Cherry finds danger instead: He gets abducted by Glad's trashily evil archrival Le Loup, "the roughest, toughest pimp in West Virginia," who believes that Cherry is a real girl named Sarah, with miracle-working powers, and sets up a fake religion around "her," charging for admission to "her" "shrine"—all of which Sarah goes along with,until, that is, his anatomical sex is revealed. After that, things go sour: Cherry is raped, forced to sniff glue, beaten, held captive, and otherwise imperiled until Glad can ride (in disguise) to the rescue.

I eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast at 8:30, lunch around 11 (pretty much always a sandwich), snack time at 4 (lately been a few pierogies), dinner around 8 (chicken meals mostly) and then a late night snack before bed at around 11:30 (usually something sweet like a little bit of ice cream or a brownie).
It's not the /healthiest/ but eating little meals keeps me from snacking in-between. In the beginning, I ate more, small healthy snacks during the day but now days I just crave real food.
What's your eating schedule like?

One hundred and twenty Milwaukee infants died before their first birthday in 2008. More than half of them were premature. Premature birth is the leading cause of infant mortality nationally and locally.
More than 1,000 infants, or more than 10% of all babies born in Milwaukee each year, are born prematurely. The cost to the child, the family and the community is astonishing.
When a baby dies, the grief and trauma of this loss will follow the family forever. When a child survives premature birth, the family may face the challenge of permanent health issues, including developmental delays and learning disabilities, vision and hearing problems and chronic breathing problems.
The financial costs of prematurity are also high: The March of Dimes estimates newborn and maternal care is four times more expensive for a premature birth than a full-term uncomplicated birth ($65,000 vs. $15,000).
Nationally, we spend approximately $26.2 billion a year on prematurity. The statistics also reveal large racial and ethnic disparities. In Milwaukee, during 2005-2008, complications of prematurity accounted for 59% of African-American infant deaths, 50% of Hispanic infant deaths and 42% of Caucasian infant deaths - and these differences strongly influence Milwaukee's large disparities in infant mortality.
While a baby may be born early with no obvious explanation, there are three main categories of risk for prematurity. First: individual behaviors, such as pregnancies occurring too close together, unplanned or teen pregnancy, inadequate nutrition or smoking or drug use during pregnancy.
Second, there are prenatal health care factors, such as lack of or delayed access to health care, suboptimal prenatal care and lack of special care for high-risk groups.
And third, there are pervasive social factors that contribute significantly to pre-term birth.
On this third point, chronic stress - such as growing up in poverty, experiencing racism or living with unemployment - especially if accumulated over a lifetime (known as "weathering"), can raise levels of hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which trigger premature birth. These stressors can overcome any individual efforts a woman might make. For instance, a college-educated African-American woman is more likely to give birth prematurely than a Caucasian woman without a high-school diploma, and the difference is not genetic.
In an ideal world, every pregnancy would be desired and planned and every couple would talk to their doctor before getting pregnant. Every prospective mother would maintain a healthy weight, take a multivitamin with folic acid and stop smoking, drinking or using drugs. But individual behaviors are only part of the puzzle.
Every health management organization, health care provider and policy-maker should be working to ensure access to the highest-quality care for women of reproductive age. We need to improve preconception care, the time between pregnancies, prenatal care and women's overall health care. This includes developing more community-based services in the highest-risk neighborhoods.
Our health care professionals must consistently help women and their families quit smoking - one of the top risk factors for premature birth and other poor birth outcomes. They also must aggressively identify and treat chronic health conditions and maternal infections, including urinary tract infections and dental infections. Around 50% of all infants who die before their first birthday were born to a mother with an infection during pregnancy. We also must improve the referral systems for alcohol and drug abuse and mental health issues.
Any woman with a history of poor birth outcomes should receive more intensive prenatal care, including consideration of treatment with a type of progesterone called "17P," which is effective in reducing the risk of repeat pre-term birth. We must also improve comprehensive reproductive health services, reduce unplanned and teenage pregnancies and help people create and follow a reproductive life plan - a set of goals on having or not having children, including how many children they want and when they want to have them.
Beyond health care and individual health behaviors, we as a community must work harder to address the social factors - including racism, poverty and unemployment - that contribute to premature births. The benefits of addressing these "upstream" social and economic factors - which some experts believe are more powerful determinants of health than individual behaviors and access to health care - extend well beyond prematurity and would reduce health disparities in many areas, from infant mortality to cancer and other chronic diseases.
Prematurity is a complicated challenge with high costs, but there are clear steps we can take - and must take - to address it.

text: Apparently you just can't come back after inspectors find cockroaches ambling across the cooked vegetables bound for customers' curries and swimming rama. At least that's the lesson of Cilantro. In December, the PI reported that the cheap Thai joint at 1st and Marion downtown had the third highest number of food inspection violations in the city. At the time of the story, it was still open (and I had stopped ordering pick-up lunches). But walking past the location on Saturday evening coming off the Bainbridge Island ferry, saw that the place has been redone and is now called Thai 65. Here's hoping they keep the bugs away.

Comments about Men's Eddie Bauer Departure Slip-On:
The Departure Slip-Ons are a nicely built shoe. They look nice enough to wear to work or nice events, and have a massaging top on the insoles for extra comfort. I really wanted to like them. Unfortunately, on my feet the toe box ended up being too narrow. I've tried both the 13 and 14 sizes and in both cases the outside of my big toe kept rubbing uncomfortably on the inner leather to the point where I can't wear them. My feet run a tad wide, so these will probably work for the majority of people.
Guys - if you are (like me) someone who would wear a 13.5 if available, size up. The 14s are a much better fit than the 13s.
Comments about Men's Eddie Bauer Departure Slip-On:
I bought these for my husband. We needed to return them for one half size larger than he normally wears. The return took a little while, but was painless. Now he wears these shoes all the time. They are comfortable and look nice on.
Comments about Men's Eddie Bauer Departure Slip-On:
Very good. Not as good as my echos but they are half the price.

With Brennan and Hodgins having been victims of the Grave Digger and Thomas Vegas currently writing a book about it, they become prime suspects in the missing evidence case.
However, when Brennan and the team receive a phone call from the Grave Digger informing them that Booth has been buried alive with only 24 hours worth of oxygen, the Grave Digger threatens to leave him to die unless Brennan brings the missing evidence.
The team immediately goes to Booth's apartment to assess the crime scene, knowing from Sweets' psychological assessment of the Grave Digger that they cannot tell the authorities about the situation or else the Grave Digger will retaliate against Booth. As Booth struggles to free himself from confinement, the team joins forces to locate him with precious time ticking away.

Nex-7 + Sigma EM-140 DG
Jun 25, 2012
Has anyone used this combo?
I've used an Orbis ring flash with my Sony 43AM, it's a good combo but not easy to use, it makes the combo unweildy and doesn't really connect together well so doesn't feel secure.
I'm looking at the Sigma ring flash as an alternative. Has anyone used it with the Nex-7 and has comments? I'm concerned about it's TTL functionality w/the Nex-7.

Please visit our EBAY STORE at the link directly below for HUNDREDS of HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS on sale or at auction:/Steve-Goldman-HISTORICAL-NEWSPAPERS_W0QQsspagenameZL2222QQtZkm SEE PHOTO----- Three (3) COMPLETE ORIGINAL newspapers, the Bennington Banner (Vermont) dated Aug 15, 16, and 17, 1962. All have front page news coverage of the GREAT PLYMOUTH (MASSACHUSETTS) MAIL TRUCK ROBBERY that netted the bandits over 1.5 million dollars. At the time it was the LARGEST robbery in US history and it has not been solved or the stolen money recovered to this very day !!! In 1962, a crew of Massachusetts mail robbers tried to pull off a single heist for a very large score. Their focus was money brought into Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a popular tourist destination that draws in many visitors over the summer. The crew knew that the island's banks would be full of tourist money on Monday morning. Money that would be sent to the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston the next day. On the evening of Tuesday, August 14, 1962, the crew pulled off a carefully planned mail heist. After the target mail truck passed a fork in the highway, they closed off the road behind it. Some of the thieves then stopped their car in front of the mail truck. One, dressed in a police uniform, stepped out to stop the mail truck. Armed, and with the element of surprise, he ordered the driver and guard to lie facedown in the rear of the truck, w they were bound with tape. Thieves drove off with the truck to rendezvous with the rest of their crew. They left the truck's guards unharmed outside Boston city limits. Postal inspectors oversaw the investigation, aided by state police, local police, and FBI agents. They began the investigation by questioning all known holdup men in the area. A particularly promising lead from a prison inmate led inspectors to John J. Kelley and Thomas R. Richards. Richards, who had no criminal record, was said to have served as a driver for various heists. When questioned, Richards did not admit to anything. Inspectors staked out his house, and eventually Richards admitted that he was involved and cooperated to avoid jail time. In Kelley's home, inspectors found tape that was determined to be from the same roll used to bind the truck driver and guard. In the summer of 1967 the U.S. attorney in Boston charged Thomas R. Richards and John J. Kelley. But Richards had disappeared and without his testimony the prosecution did not have enough evidence to produce a conviction. The Post Office Department offered a reward of $50,000 leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible, and the Federal Reserve offered a reward of $150,000 or 10 percent of any part of the recovered currency. Despite these offerings, no one was ever convicted, and the $1.5 million that was stolen in the robbery has not yet been retrieved. Excellent condition. This listing includes the 3 complete entire original newspapers, NOT just a clipping or a page of them. STEPHEN A.

in response to STEENSON1Did you try resetting PRAM during the boot?
If that does not help, did you try booting with the Mac OS X installation disc inserted and the C key held down.
Or try to boot with the Option key held down. That will give you the Startup Manager, which should present all available startup volume options.
STEENSON1 Apr 17, 2009 3:53 AM
in response to Kenichi WatanabeHi
I tried all the things you suggested but it is still not working.
There is an apple store in Belfast should I take it there?
Could this be a battery problem in the imac?
Kenichi Watanabe Apr 17, 2009 10:50 AM
in response to STEENSON1Try resetting the SMC (power management) by precisely following this procedure.
If that does not help, there may be a hardware problem that needs to be looked at by a technician.
STEENSON1 Apr 18, 2009 12:45 PM
in response to STEENSON1Hi sorry to pester you again
The mac went from the grey screen to standard start up, although this took 1/2 hour.
Once the blue progress bar reached the end I got a blue screen
Nothing else is happening, no icons I can see the pointer and that's all.
El Deanio Apr 18, 2009 1:55 PM
in response to STEENSON1Have you tried booting into 'Safe Mode".
*To start up in safe mode:*
Shut down your computer and wait 10 seconds.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.
You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after your hear the startup tone, but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).
STEENSON1 Apr 19, 2009 10:10 AM
in response to El DeanioTried all the above....still with blue screen
kpowick Jun 5, 2009 4:30 PM
in response to STEENSON1Edit: Oops. I just realized this post was 2 months old. I suspect you have moved on.
This sounds similar to a problem I was having this morning. It would be really useful if you could have a look at the system log (system.log) for any more clues. You can try to boot the machine into Single user mode to do this. I believe the key sequence during boot for this is to hold down the Command and S keys.
Once you find yourself at the "root" prompt, you should find the system.log at
You can easily view the log without having to navigate from where you are with the following command:
cat /private/log/system.log | less
That vertical symbol before the "less" is the "pipe" symbol. You can see it on you backslash key.
Once the log comes up, you can navigate forward and backward through the log with the "F" and "B" keys. To exit, use the "Q" key.
The log can be confusing to read, but in my case I was able to see a section of errors that were repeating over and over.
In the end, for me, it turned out to be a permissions issue. Somehow, the root directory "/" had its permissions corrupted which made it so that one of the boot processes was unable to access a required file.
At this point I really don't want to give you a bunch of commands to try if you're not familiar with the system. I don't have enough information anyway. I'm just offering you another place to look for the problem. One thing that makes me think it's permissions related is that you said you can't reinstall the system. Neither could I, though I was attempting an archive and reinstall, not erase and reinstall. For the erase option, I wouldn't think permissions should come into play.
To reboot from the prompt, type: shutdown -r now
Good luck,

This year's winner for the Levy County District spelling bee will be traveling to Tallahassee for the next level of competition for the third time.
Recognizing the need to have funds available for maintenance and repairs in both the water and sewer departments, the Williston City Council voted last week to increase rates gradually over a five-year period.
The Ministerial Faith Alliance will remember Civil Rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. with a parade and other events Saturday, Jan. 16.
A parade will start the day-long festivities at 10 a.m. down Williston's Noble Avenue and continue to Williston Middle School.
It's that time of the year: time to decide if you want to be subject to ridicule for every decision you make, live in a fish bowl and get little compensation for your work.
Yes, it's time to qualify for elected positions in the city of Williston.
An Inglis man with a string of battery arrests and charges dating back to 1994 is jailed again on felony battery. Only this time, the arrest comes after the death of an Inglis woman witnesses said he attacked on New Year's Day over a $40 debt.
It started with a group of people who cared about Williston sitting in a room and brainstorming ideas about what could be the best direction to point the city in.
Jeannette Barton and her late husband, Edward Lee were innovative merchants long before the chain stores came along.
The couple married in 1935, and from then until the family grocery store was sold in 1958, they worked tirelessly to provide the people of Williston and the surrounding area with the goods they needed.
Williston Community Theater will present an evening of entertainment Thursday, Dec. 31 beginning at 8 p.m. at Williston Middle School with the debut of House on the Cliff, directed by Barbara Leathers.
Tickets for House on the Cliff are $12.
Pet owners within the city of Williston are required annually to buy a license for their animals.
For a nominal $5 fee, the license is good for one year and ensures that should you become separated from your pet, it could be found and returned to you.

|City Circle Announces Addition of Musical Comedy Xanadu to 2015-2016 Season
|News Releases - Stage & Theatre
|Written by Coralville Arts
|Friday, 20 June 2014 15:12
Replaces Around the World in 80 Days Due to Director Conflict
City Circle Acting Company of Coralville announces that it will produce the Iowa-City area premiere of the 2007 musical comedy Xanadu, which is inspired by the 1980s film of the same name. The production will be directed by Christopher Okiishi.
Xanadu replaces Around the World in 80 Days on the City Circle schedule, with performances October 10-19. 80 Days director Patrick Du Laney was cast in Our Town at Kansas City Repertory Theater, necessitating his withdrawal from this season. City Circle hopes to have Du Laney direct 80 Days in a future season.
Director Okiishi says of Xanadu, "It's the classic story of a frustrated artist, an ancient Greek goddess of inspiration, and the music of the Electric Light Orchestra. Taking the best parts of the 1980 movie (meaning--keeping the songs and completely rewriting the script), author Douglas Carter Bean, who also re-wrote the recent smash Cinderella for Broadway, tells the heartwarming story of two souls finding each other in the California 1980s amid scheming evil sisters, greedy developers, and truly awful fashion choices. Xanadu features some of the best-loved pop-rock songs for the decade including "Evil Woman", "Strange Magic", "Suddenly", and the hit title song. Song, dance, a limited amount of roller-skates, and plenty of heart! No leg warmers will be harmed in the making of this production."
Tickets to the show are $12-$27 and can be purchased online at coralvillearts.org, by calling 319.248.9370, or in person at the CCPA box office at 1301 5th Street and at the Coralville Recreation Center at 1506 8th Street. Group and subscriber discounts are available.###

"World of Warcraft" is a wonderful online game that brings nerds of every stripe together all across the globe. Some of those nerds end up falling in love. Which is great! Unless they're Jessica Pearce, a 33-year-old Washington woman who authorities say fell in love with someone young enough to be her son.
According to the P-I, Pearce and the boy met while playing WoW in 2008. He lied and told her he was 24. A couple months and some serious online flirting later, he told her the truth: he was actually 15.
A sensible woman might have ended things there. But according to charging documents, Pearce wasn't sensible, she was in love.
Three times in the next year, Pearce reportedly flew to New Jersey to meet with her underage amor. One time she even brought along her six-year-old son, who must have been curious as to why mommy was shacking up with a kid that looked like his older brother.
The boy's parents didn't catch on to their son's relationship until July of last year, when the dad found explicit text messages from Pearce. He told his son to end the relationship. But, being a teenager, this ultimatum didn't seem to have much of an effect.
On September 11 of last year, Pearce allegedly flew to New Jersey for the final time. She brought with her a forged ID card, so that the boy could hop on a plane and return to Washington with his very own Susan Sarandon.
The boy's parents found a note from their son saying he'd run away to New York. But knowing about relationship with Pearce, it didn't take long for police to catch up with the lovestruck pair at a highway rest stop three days later.
Right now, Pearce has only been charged with child pornography because of photos she allegedly took of her and the boy having sex. And according to interviews, she's all but admitted to the inappropriate conduct, even going so far as to say that they didn't use protection because they wanted to start a family together.
