The appointment was last Saturday at 1:00pm in the Central Park, opposite the town hall, where they set a pavilion decorated with beautiful plants and a satin blanket that had printed the words "Welcome Champion" framed with a large Mexican flag in honor of Wilberth "Hurricane" Uicab.

Report by David Nelmark

Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir knocked out former Pride Open Weight Champion Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic this past Saturday in the main event of UFC 119 at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The first fourteen minutes of the bout featured mostly clinches and parries, but Mir ended the evening with an exclamation point, putting Cro Cop flat on his back with a vicious right knee at 4:02 in round three.
Mir was wary of Cro Cop's famed head kicks and Cro Cop was wary of Mir's jiu-jitsu. The resulting caution created a close, but uneventful fight. Indeed, the only knockdown prior to the finish came via an inadvertent knee to the groin by Cro Cop . . . Click here for more

Briggs furious at Vitali
Former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs (51-5-1, 45 KOs), who will face WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko on October 16 at the O2 World Arena in Hamburg, Germany, is outraged by Klitschko allegedly calling asthma a good excuse. "There are 300 million people in the world with asthma and not one of them would agree with Vitali Klitschko that it's nothing serious," said Briggs, a lifelong asthma sufferer. "Isn't he supposed to be a doctor? A doctor of what???
"I have been in the trenches of this deadly disease and seen the heartbreak it causes," he continued. "I spend every day trying to convince young people stricken with it that they can be anything they want in life, despite their challenges. What the world doesn't need is someone who's supposed to be a role model dismissing their condition as no big deal. These kids are not faking and neither am I. I am now personally dedicating my knockout punch to the sufferers of asthma worldwide that Vitali has offended. I plan on being a three-time world champion who respects people and their challenges."
Oscar lays out golden plan
Golden Boy President Oscar de la Hoya laid out his vision of what would benefit the sport: one commission/sanctioning body and one major promoter. Golden Boy. "We need to sign all the talent and get all the TV dates," said Oscar in an insightful interview with broadcastingcable.com. "Then you can have your own agenda and have a schedule for the fans and the sport. You can do a monthly PPV, a bi-weekly HBO fight, you can have the best fighters fight each other. When you have five or six promoters, it's very difficult." Read the entire interview…
Garcia ready for Huerta
After over a one year hiatus, Vista, CA's featherweight Aaron Garcia (9-1, 2 KOs) is ready to step back into the ring with a new found energy for the sport.

Wilder, Russell destroy foes
By Michael Sheffield at ringside
A group of up and coming fighters put on an impressive display of power in what turned out to be short evenings for them and their opponents during the September edition of Prize Fight Boxing's Fights at the Fitz series at the Fitz Hotel and Casino, Tunica, Ms. None of the four preliminary fights lasted longer than a round and a half, and Olympians Deontay Wilder and Gary Russell Jr. decimated their opponents. Heavyweight Wilder (12-0, 12 KOs) would add to his undefeated record with a 64 second two-punch destruction of the previously undefeated Shannon Caudle (9-1, 8 KOs). Featherweight Russell Jr. (12-0, 9 KOs) finished Willie Villanueva (9-3, 2 KOs) with a vicious right jab at 2:56 in the first round. Full report here…
Berg shocks WBO #3 Zegan
In a light welterweight bout, unbeaten but unheralded newcomer Boris Berg (4-0, 2 KOs) won a shocking six round decision over reigning WBO European champion and world rated #3 Matt Zegan (42-6-1, 21 KOs) on Sunday evening at the "Altes Funkwerk" in Berlin, Germany. Against all odds, the 34-year-old Berg impressed with offensive boxing and brought pressure to bear on Zegan from the first round. Berg's variety was excellent, and his punches to the head and to the body looked precise and powerful as the former WBO lightweight challenger Zegan never found his way into the match. The card was promoted by IFKO Box Promotion.
WBA Convention Update
By Gabriel F. Cordero
The WBA's 89th Annual Convention has been confirmed for Managua, Nicaragua on November 22-27 and will pay special tribute to the memory of Alexis Arguello, who died last year. "Alexis was a great friend of the WBA and of my father the Dr. Mendoza, this is a small homage that the WBA wants to offer in his memory," said WBA Executive Vice-president Gilberto Jesús Mendoza Jr.
The WBA has also recognized the effort of officials in Nicaragua to organize this convention, especially Renzo Bagnariol/WBA International Director member, General Juan Alberto Molinares/Nicaraguan Boxing Commission President and boxing promoter PRODESA, which will present a special boxing card during the convention. Former WBC world champion Juan Palacios could face an opponent to be named for a WNA world title in the headliner. Among the expected guests are WBA light heavyweight champion Beibut Shumenov, WBA heavyweight champion David Haye and the former heavyweight champion George Foreman among others.
Raffa: Thumb is totally healed
Two-division world champion Rafael Marquez took his training up a notch last week as he prepares for his world title battle against undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) featherweight champion Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez on Saturday, November 6, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The rumble between the pride of México and Puerto Rico, respectively, will be televised live by SHOWTIME Championship Boxing. The 12-round world championship bout, originally set for Sept. 18, had to be rescheduled after Marquez injured his right thumb.
"The injury is totally healed. This will be the best preparation of my career. I will work very hard so I defeat Juanma when we meet because I know he will also be in top shape. We are going to give the fans the fight they deserve, which will be nothing less than the fight of the year," said Marquez. (more…)
Official: Super Six in Finland
SHOWTIME Sports, Hennessy Sports and Team Sauerland have officially announced that Helsinki, Finland will host the decisive Super Six World Boxing Classic Group Stage 3 clash between Carl "The Cobra" Froch and King Arthur Abraham. On November 27, the two superstars will lock horns at the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, which seats 14,000 people and is known for its passionate Finnish sports fans.
The fight was originally scheduled for Monaco but Froch was forced to pull out two weeks ago when he informed Showtime that a back injury would force him to sit out training for four weeks. Due to a scheduling conflict at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille in Monaco, the event has been moved to Finland. "We are pleased to have finalized all details," promoter Kalle Sauerland said. "Helsinki will host the fight of the year. I am sure that I speak on behalf of boxing fans all over the world that cannot wait to see these two gladiators in the ring. King Arthur will cement his place in the semi-finals in this great Olympic City and one of the most impressive arenas in the world." (more…)
Ricky Hatton's challenges
Once hailed as British Boxing's leading ambassador Ricky Hatton's fall from grace has been spectacular to put it mildly. Not so long ago Ricky was everyone's favourite sportsman, when he traveled to America to fight it was not unusual for over 30,000 fans to make the trip as well. Unfortunately so many have now turned against their former hero. Even the boxing hierarchy reacted, by revoking his professional boxing license, as well as his seconds and manager licenses and fining him £20,000 after finding him guilty of misconduct – in that his actions and behaviour were detrimental to the interests of Boxing and to the public interest and that he had brought the sport into disrepute.
Leading sports psychologist Andrea Firth-Clark explains the challenges faced by not only Ricky Hatton, but all athletes that have to adapt to the ending of what was not only a career, but their whole world. (more…)
Sifama retains SA fly title
By Ron Jackson
Xolani Sifama who was making the first defence of his South African flyweight title stopped the previously unbeaten Wele Yokose at the Mdantsane Indoor Sports Centre near East London on Sunday. Sifama was too experienced for the younger Yokose and was in control through rounds one to ten as he boxed from behind his educated left jab. The southpaw challenger was more intent on going for a knockout instead of sticking to basic boxing skills and in round eleven paid the penalty when early in the round he went down for a count. Yokose managed to beat the count but soon afterwards after a flurry of punches he was sent crashing to the canvas down and out. (more…)

The exciting telecast will open with undefeated top-rated welterweight contender Mike Jones defending his NABA/NABO welterweight belts against Top-10 contender Jesus Soto-Karass. (more…)
John to reappear to December?

The possibility exists that WBA featherweight super world champion Chris John could defend his WBA belt against Fernando Saucedo on December 1. The same fight had been announced for May 22 but an injury forced John to postpone it. The event will take place in Indonesia, possibly on Bali Island. It would be the first fight for John since September 2009 when he defeated Rocky Juarez.
Brown turns the page

Instead, Manny Gamburyan will test the champ in the WEC 51 main event, with Brown relegated to an undercard scrap against Cole Province that might not make the nationally televised broadcast . . .

It was Ouma's first fight in eight months, having lost a highly disputed decision to Vanes Martirosyan this past January. Since a 2006 win over Sechew Powell, the former IBF junior middleweight titlist had amassed a 1-5 record leading up to the encounter with Gilbert and although most of those losses were competitive, his best days appeared to be behind him . . .

Welterweight Charles "The Future" Hatley (14-0 11KO) escaped with a hard fought eight round unanimous decision at Quik Trip Park in Grand Prairie, Texas over the veteran Emanuel Augustus (38-33 6KO), which saw both fighters hit the canvas in this action packed affair. Hatley, a former U.S. Amateur and 2008 Olympic Trials Finalist, has been fighting in relative anonymity against inferior opponents to date but with a victory over Augustus, who has been in the ring with the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Mickey Ward, could be his coming out party. more + photos

Quotes from the post-fight press conference after Saturday's WBC cruiserweight world title clash between Krzysztof Włodarczyk and Jason Robinson in Warsaw, Poland.
Krzysztof Włodarczyk: "I was very well prepared, proved that I can win decisively in 12 rounds, as well as knock people out. Not every fight you're fighting has to be spectacular, pints of blood everywhere, people flying through the ropes after knockouts. Sometimes you have just work hard, win on judge's cards fighting a desperate and very well prepared Jason Robinson. I'm happy with the win and looking forward to defending my title." (more…)

Gilbert got to his feet but did not want to continue and the fight was waved off. (more…)
Mir defeats Cro Cop
Results by David Nelmark
Saving what was otherwise a tedious boofest, Frank Mir knocked out Mirko Cro Cop with a big right knee at 4:02 of round three, tonight in the main event of UFC 119 at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Both fighters clinched excessively in round one. In the second, referee Herb Dean had to separate the two twice in what was a slow-action round. In the third, Cro Cop started to land big shots but Mir sought to clinch – until a big right knee ended the fight with 58 seconds left on the clock.
In the co-main event, Ryan Bader scored the biggest win of his career, winning a unanimous decision over veteran Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Scores were 30-27 x 3.
In other action: Chris Lytle decisioned Matt Serra, with scores of 30-27 x 3; Sean Sherk won a split decision over Evan Dunham, scores of 29-28 twice and 28-29; Melvin Guillard won a split decision over Jeremy Stephens, scores of 30-27, 29-28 and 28-29; C.B.

Jim Fawcett, Field Specialist-Crops, Southeast Area
Problem Statement:
Agriculture is rapidly changing, with new technologies being introduced every year. Crop producers must keep up with the changing technologies in order to stay competitive. One problem with traditional winter crop production programs is that it is not possible to offer all of the topics that are of interest to crop producers and agribusiness professionals in the area. There are also producers with different levels of knowledge and experience, making it difficult to know which groups to target.
Programmatic Response:
Crop Advantage Series conferences were conducted in Cedar Rapids and Burlington in January, 2007 to offer a wide choice of workshops to teach crop producers as well as businesses that serve crop producers about the various aspects of crop production and protection. Participants could choose two to three workshops to attend from the six to nine that were offered. Topics offered included pest management, water quality, grain markets, crop insurance, fertilizer recommendations, marketing crops, and tiling.
Over 500 crop producers and other agricultural professionals attended the Crop Advantage Series meetings in Burlington and Cedar Rapids. Approximately 2/3 were producers with the rest being crop consultants, retailers, educators, company agronomists, and others. Ninety-seven per cent of the evaluations rated the meetings as good or excellent. Approximately 750,000 acres are managed by those in attendance. The average value placed on the information received by the attendees was $11.38 per acre, suggesting a perceived total impact of over $8,500,000.
Comments received included:
Keep it up. An excellent meeting. Thank you.
Good job. Good program.
Keeping topics timely and current makes this meeting very good.
Wish I had more time to get to them (concurrent sessions) all
Always enjoy your meetings. Well worth the time.
I was very impressed with the seminar and found the information very beneficial. Keep up the great job youre doing

one camera and two goofies
i've been chasing my child around with my camera since the day he was born. in his first year i had over 2,000 pictures.
stalker-ish much? you know it.
now i've got a handy dandy camera remote thanks to the husband and there's no need to chase dutch around. now all i have to do is get him to sit still for a few minutes. and that's just what we did last week 'cause… well, we ain't have nothin' else to do.
it didn't take him long to master the whole self-portrait thing.
boo hoo'ing over the end of summer
i can't believe summer is almost over!! just a little over a week left and it's done. over. kaput!
it seems like it just started. like i was just searching for those swim rings for my son to toss into the pool. like i just bought that heavy duty sunblock. like i just chopped all my hair off 'cause it was getting too daggone hot to rock that big curly fro' that i was desperately trying to grow all throughout winter in spring. like i was just avoiding going outside during the day because of the heatwave that hit the dc area was 'bout ready to melt us all!
like we just caught a plane (dutch's first time!) to florida last week even though it really happened in late june.
hanging with my pop
unemployment entertainment
the early part of my typical day goes a lil' something like this:
get up, wake the child up, iron his clothes, make his lunch, walk the dog, take the child to summer camp, come home and get online to get it crackalackin' with the job search (this can take as little as 30mins to a couple hours depending on what's poppin'), clean a little, write/read/make earrings/take photos/dance around to videos on vh1 soul/etc., clean whatever needs to be cleaned…or not, then there's this space (a small space, but still a space) of nothingness.
here's how i fill it. i entertain myself by polishing my toes in funky colors and sometimes snapping a pic and posting it on instagram.
see, the key to keeping your sanity during unemployment is to keep busy. and keeping busy is my thing. and trust, there's always something for me to do.
of course, i could sleep the day away because i really could use the sleep, and that's another post, but i can count on one hand how many times i've indulged in taking a nap since i've been home. and even in those times the snooze didn't last long 'cause our daggone dog with his super sonic hearing likes to bark whenever a blade of grass blows in the wind.
okay, that was an exaggeration but he does bark a lot.
so no time (or silence) for naps. i have things to do and toes to polish!
lots of earrings!
i mentioned before that i made lots of earrings for christmas gifts and here they are. well, most of them anyway.

Engine started running rough and finally quit. Found water in oil. Pulled head and had it reworked by head shop. No signs of cracked block. Thought it must have been a blown headgasket. Re-assembled engine and started it up. It is doing the same thing. My question is; can water get into the oil pan any other way other than a cracked block. I know the head is good. I am not familiar with this kind of engine setup in a car.

Can we pick better teams than Fergie?
To all Man Utd fans, I am about to choose a formation and team that Fergie refuses to pick even when they are all fit. My team and formation can, I feel, match ANY team in the premiership and most in europe. Please tell me if you agree with me and if not, whats your strongest formation and line-up.
MY TEAM: Van der Sar, Neville,Ferdinand,Silvestre,Heinze, Ronaldo,Keane,Scholes,Giggs, Rooney, Van Nistelrooy.
Will Fergie ever pick this team? Coz I for one am sick of Fletcher coming in on the right with Ronny switched over to the left while Giggsy warms the bench. Also sick of Rooney playing on the right-side in a 3 forward attack, or in midfield etc. etc. Rooney was born to play in the role Fergie played Cantona in. That free role where he is given the freedom of the area between the halfway line to the opposition goal. A genius like Rooney should be allowed to choose whether he wants to drop back and provide a link bwtween the midfield and Van or whether to stay up and support Van as a 2nd striker. He has got all the attributes required for this type of free role and more. CMON FERGIE!!! GET ON THE BALL!!!! 4-5-1 and 4-3-3 sucks!!!This topic is deleted.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
should thisd not be a team that is available now as rvn is not here nor is keane
Van Der Sar
Vidic, Neville, Heinze, Ferdinand
Scholes, Ronaldo, Carrick,Giggs
Rooney, Saha
Park , Solskjaer, Smith, Richardson, Kuszczak
as thats the best team on paper, not what he played in the game in coppen

hi guys n gals, first posting on here for me.
i have read a few of the suggestions for our best team. here is mine....
van der sar
ronaldo/scholes/keano or smith/giggs
Fletcher...... NO, a big fat NO!!!!
evry one says that there are alot of better managers in the prem than sir alex. like jose titwank, but, what formation is he playing?? must be a brainy little man to come up with 4-3-3 all on his own!!? sir alex must be copying him. but, hold on, wasent it SIR ALEX HIMSELF that started experimenting with different formations at least 2 years ago! and they say hes past it, haha, when every manager wants to be him and copy his formations and tactics! the man is a tactical GENIOUS!!! AGREE OR DISAGREE?? most fans would agree, most chelsea fans would disagree!! my mate is a chelsea fan, he wasent into footie that much maybe 2-3 years ago but as soon as the money signs replaced the lion then he started getting more into it, and when jose titwank, who only won the champions league once, stepped in with all his bullshit hard talk chat about being the greatest ( take alot more then winning tha champ league once) he was a huge fan, started buying the shirts and stuff, but is chelsea this chelsea that, dosent let anybody else have a view and all other teams are shit. ........ just goes to show the state of mind in which all chelshit fans are.....
is henry on his way to spain???
The alarming thing when picking our starting 11 is I feel we lack REAL world class in the centre of the park. The rest of the team picks itself.
My point is emphesised by the initial move to 433 as Keane and scholes were not dominating and teams were passing round them.
Keane leaving this year is not because he has had enough its because he is a warrior and knows his time on the battle field with the very best i.e lampard gerrard etc is over.
Ballack is a MUST HAVE as well as a worldclass holding player who I aint sure answers on a post card.
Richardson is playing well but how soon we forget player of the year Heinze his only chance to make it is over Giggs and Park I would choose the later at this point.
My team would include both Richardson and Park, playing with Keane as he has so much energy and can make up for Keanes aging legs.
Scholes and Giggs your living off previous glories and have been poor long before this season or last. Unfortunatly time catches up with us all and its overtook them!
2. G Nevile
3. Heinze
4. Show Pony (Rio)
5. Brown
6. Ronaldo
7. Richardson
8. Keane
9. Park
10. Ruud
11 Rooney
I just think that when you have a talent like Richardson in the squad, Giggsy's days become increasingly numbered.
He just isn't the same player we had pre 1999. He seems more intent on playing in the middle, leaving us with no left sided player.
Richardson, is young, super fast, and is not afraid to take a player on. Robbo has worked wonders with that kid.
As for Scholes, he does normally hit top form towards christmas. But by then it may be too late, we need each player to perform now.
I still think that once Keano is back, Smudger should be given the chance in the creative role, allowing him more time on the ball, and the opportunity to get forward.
aye, i think we can. all good good. best team with injuries
4-4-2 ( only because of injuries and lack of depth )
van der sar
best 11 without injuries 4-3-3 ( sorry but i think it works )
van der sar
van nistelrooy
giving ron and roon the opportunity to switch sides, free roles will bring out the best for van nistelrooy, and with 3 top defensive minded midfielders, therel be no worry about protecting the backs for the 3 strikers.
Every time DF plays, Man U either drew or lost the game.

Darren Fletcher hahaha he is a joke ronaldo on the right
giggs on the left thats the way 2 win go beck 2
442 United have the players. We must make the most of giggs he is getting on abit, get him off the bench and on the pitch
Good call, I would like to see Richardson at left back, he's quick and can get forward enabling the overlap on the left side. It would also mean that Gabbi could come into the middle with Rio, therefore eliminating the weak link (Silvestre) from the back four.

Not guilty and you still must pay the storing and towing charge
March 3, 2015 the Will County judicial Committee met. Legislation was brought forward for a $300 Administration Fee charged to individuals when their car is towed. Presently there is no Administrative fee, but there is a towing fee and a storage fee that must be paid by the individual regardless of the verdict in court. Therefore the Judge can find you not guilty and you still must pay the storing and towing charge. With this new legislation, the administrative fee can be returned to you if the Judge orders it, but the towing and storage charges are the individuals expense even when found not guilty. Nothing is changed accept adding an administrative fee.
As a member of the Judicial committee I spoke firmly against what I consider unethical, immoral, and just plain not fair. With a not guilty finding the Judge should be able to refund the towing fee, the storage fee, and the administrative fee. Just because cities charge these fees to people found not guilty does not make it right. It should be the Judge's decision if the fees should be returned. Will County would then have to pay the towing and storage charges, and not collect the Administrative fee.
The Committee argued that the administrative fee may be too high putting a burden on people. I felt like they thought the towing and storage fees were just an acceptable part of the process. One member said it is just like getting a lawyer; the court doesn't reimburse that cost. I explained that you can represent yourself at no cost, and there would be no fees if your car was not towed unjustly in the first place.

Will County Board District 7
Balich Ordinance not allowing aerial photos to initiate code violations is now law after Executive Order by County Executive
Balich Ordinance not allowing aerial photos to initiate code violations is now law after Executive Order by County Executive
The process addressing use of aerial photos in code violations began in April 2013 when Balich first brought a Resolution to the Legislative Committee. Balich said he was having trouble getting it to the right Committee. The issue was moving from Land Use to Judicial with not much happening. Balich eventually decided to move it forward as a change to the ordinance which required a public hearing and a full vote of the County Board. After playing ring around the Committees for a few Months moving from Judicial to Land Use to Executive and finally to a joint meeting of Land Use and Judicial in December 2013, it passed and was to be set for public hearing. Finally May 6th 2014 there was a public hearing, and immediately after the hearing the Judicial Committee voted it down. This was a shock for Balich who thought it would pass with no problem. It was dead as far as Reed Bible, Tom Weigel, Ken Harris, and Jacky Traynere were concerned. Balich said it is not over, he was not giving up. He said this is a people issue and could not understand why the Democrats and Weigel did not get it.
At the May 13th Executive Committee Jim Moustis motioned to put it back on the Agenda, for a vote of the full board. Reed Bible and Herb Brooks voted no the rest of the Committee voted yes giving the ordinance new life with a vote of the full Board. Jim Moustis made the valid point that 4 people from a committee should not have the power to kill an issue. Mr. Moustis also pointed out that anything can be added to the County Board Agenda by the Executive Committee. Balich was confident there were enough votes to pass from the full Board.May 14th the County Executive passed an Executive Order, putting Balich's ordinance into law before the vote of the full Board. Balich is extremely pleased with Walsh's decision standing for the people of Will County.
Executive Order 14-30
Aerial Photography Prohibited
Lawrence M. Walsh, will County Executive, hereby prohibits the Land Use Department and its personnel from using aerial photography to initiate an internal Land Use complaint of an ordinance violation. Dated May 14, 2014 and signed by Will Vounty Executive Lawrence M. Walsh.
2014 IL. Governors Forum hosted by Will County Tea Party Alliance
By MaryAnn Ahern
| Tuesday, Jan 14, 2014 | Updated 11:36 PM CST
The Republican candidates for governor square off in their first debate, but the frontrunner was missing. MaryAnn Ahern reports.
Photos and Videos
GOP: Illinois'
Business Climate is 'Broken'
Rauner's School
Contribution Questioned
More Photos and Videos
Tuesday was the first of several forums planned in advance of the GOP primary for Illinois gov-ernor.
Three of the candidates, state Sen. Bill Brady, state Treasurer Dan Rutherford and state Sen. Kirk Dillard attended the Will County Tea Party forum in Plainfield, but the front-runner — Bruce Rauner — was a no-show.
An empty chair was placed on stage for Rauner, who asked that a surrogate read an opening statement for him, a request that was denied.
The questions ranged from jobs to education.
Brady said he plans to abolish the State Board of Education if he's elected governor.
Rutherford was asked about his views on same sex marriage.
"I think we need to be very sensitive about this kind of a discussion. Is it perfect to be in a world that has a man and a woman bearing their natural-born child? Sure it is. But it isn't a perfect world we live in," Rutherford said.
Dillard was asked about Rauner's claim that union bosses control politicians.
"I've taken money from the Operating Engineers, that's a private union, and they're concerned, and they support me because they believe I'm the best candidate," Dillard said.
Earlier this week, Rauner said all of the attention he's receiving and questions about using clout to get his daughter into Walter Payton Prep stem from his high poll numbers.
"I'm an independent guy, I can't be bought, bribed or intimidated," Rauner said.
Rauner initially said he would only attend five public forums, but has now changed his mind and will also attend an extra one later this week.
After the forum, a straw poll was taken that included Rauner's name. The results will be an-nounced Wednesday morning.

Ficarello Candidate for Will County Sheriff "CLEAR PATH PROGRAM" FOR INMATE WORKERS
November 5, 2013 Editor No Comments
"CLEAR PATH PROGRAM" FOR INMATE WORKERS To keep the incarceration rate below national average for non-violent misdemeanant offenders and traffic offenders, an alternative type of sentencing is needed in Will County. This alternative category of sentencing will present the court system with a program that would allow judges to order manual labor of sentenced inmates, […]
To keep the incarceration rate below national average for non-violent misdemeanant offenders and traffic offenders, an alternative type of sentencing is needed in Will County. This alternative category of sentencing will present the court system with a program that would allow judges to order manual labor of sentenced inmates, in lieu of extended jail time. The alternative sentencing will not only help the taxpayer by reducing inmate housing costs due to the sentence time being exchanged for manual labor, but also provide these low risk offenders an opportunity to learn life skills and repay the community.
The placement in this type of alternative sentencing must meet certain eligibility and the individual must agree to the terms and rules of the program. The sentenced inmate must be physically capable and able to work in all weather.
The sentenced inmate must also pay a one-time insurance fee and processing fee prior to participation in this program. The processing fee will be utilized to provide special clothing for both the job being performed and exposure to the elements/climate.
These sentenced individuals will work only in approved work settings for governmental institutions, or non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations. They will be supervised by sworn officers, and will operate five days a week. A civilian coordinator will provide management of the various job assignments throughout the community. Failure to meet the terms of the program or a break in the rules will result in spending the rest of their sentence in a general population setting with the full sentencing reinstated.
Inmates in this program who have not completed high school or attained a G.E.D. will be encouraged to participate in the G.E.D. program offered by the Support Services Division of the Will County Adult Detention Facility.
This program will provide a "Clear Path" for inmates to learn the responsibility of hard work, serving their sentence and providing a positive experience by giving something back to the community, and encouraged enrollment in the Sheriff's G.E.D. program. Also contact with various charitable organizations could provide help for these individuals once they have completed their sentencing.
The "Clear Path Program" will be evaluated after one year to analyze the cost, benefits and savings resulting from the program.
A future contingency of this plan would allow individuals sentenced to probation/supervision, including hours of community service, to also participate in a plan of a similar environment.
Aerial Photos in Will County
Will County has in my opinion excessive regulations. An example is the use of Aerial Photos to initiate code violations. I have been trying since April to amend the Ordinance to not allow it. Finally in October I am getting movement and it will be going to a vote either in October or November.
Get conceal carry permit for 32 States
From beautiful Homer Glen, I know it is somewhat dangerous everywhere, but when you leave Homer Glen, or for that matter Will County the degree of danger increases. http://www.examiner.com/will-county-libertarian-in-chicago/class-for-conceal-carry-is-your-2nd-amendment-right I am not saying that a trip to Chicago is dangerous. I am saying that there is a higher probability of having a problem in Cook County as compared to Will County and other Collar Counties. Flash mob attacks, carjacking, muggings, and drive by shootings form this perception. http://www.examiner.com/will-county-libertarian-in-chicago/the-right-to-own-a-weapon-protects-our-freedom
I believe that open and concealed carry laws which are our right according to the second amendment would end some if not the majority of the insecurity I feel when I leave Homer Glen. The "Bad" guys seek weak or easy victims. If they don't know who is carrying a weapon, suddenly everyone becomes a deterrent to crime. The Illinois State Police is in favor of concealed carry. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1818862/posts http://www.examiner.com/gun-rights-in-atlanta/open-carry-deters-armed-robbery-kennesaw
The Tea Party Organizers from Homer Lockport Tea Party, Joliet Tea Party, and Will County Tea Party Alliance recognize the importance of our second amendment right. We understand that carrying a gun on your person in Illinois is not legal. When you leave Illinois you can carry. The laws vary from State to State, but a conceal carry license from Utah is good in 32 States. That is why we are offering a legal class to be allowed to carry in certain States when leaving Illinois.
Our Utah Concealed Firearm Permit Class is a fun, exciting and very informative class. Our class covers everything from handgun styles, holsters and ammunition to the rules, laws and how to handle a confrontation. We provide you with all of the vital and necessary information to help you make the best decisions.
Freedom Lost
Under a Socialist Agenda we are experiencing a rapid decline in life toward that of a third world nation. People are waking up but many are still not paying attention. I we don't stop Obama's change we will never keep our standard of living, and loose our freedom. We just can't take Freedom for granted. We now must fight for Freedom before it is gone.
It doesn't matter if you are left or right, this video is about getting prepared for the coming decline which I fear this country must go through in order to return to the roots that made this country great.. Let me know your thoughts and feel free to pass along to your friends, neighbors, and family. http://www.examiner.com/will-county-libertarian-in-chicago/freedom-lost
Basic economics for elected officials
Understanding that spending causes Debt, and the Elected officials need to stop using our money to buy our votes with doing things for us. Remember the only money government has comes from the taxpayer.
Debt, our demise
From beautiful Homer Glen I am looking out the window at all the nice home's , trees, and cars going by realizing that Homer glen will not exist as I know it in 10 short years if congress continues to keep on spending and borrowing so they can spend more. We have reached a pivotal point in the history of our great country when we either take action to reign in the debt, or let things keep on going toward our demise. http://www.examiner.com/will-county-libertarian-in-chicago/debt-our-demise http://www.youtube.com/embed/VtVbUmcQSuk
Do we as a people realize what will happen shortly if nothing is done. We are better off to feel the pain now, rather than waiting till we have nothing left. The argument between the House of Representatives and the President along with the Senate; should start with spending NOTHING, and stopping all funding of any kind. Once we are at ZERO, they can fund what is absolutely a necessity, like the military. Our elected officials need to save our country. We are on the eve of financial destruction, and arguing about raising the debt ceiling. http://www.examiner.com/will-county-libertarian-in-chicago/don-t-raise-the-debt-cieling We borrow money from anywhere we can get a loan and give that money away for some project or group with no way to pay back the loan. We pay the interest so we don't default.
The entire mess was preventable, but we people were asleep at the wheel while our elected officials were wide awake and giving us THINGS to make us want to vote for them. http://www.examiner.com/will-county-libertarian-in-chicago/the-compromise-that-killed-us

First time spray tan and am happy with the results. The lady who did it was friendly enough - it seemed to be the same person who gave me pre spray advice when I called. Upon arrival I was given a card to complete, pretty standard stuff. Then I was taken to a room, supplied with sticky flip flops, disposable panties and hair net and left to get ready. A couple of minutes later she was back to get me sprayed. All done and then I was given my after care advice, told to hold my arms straight up in the air for a few minutes and then I'd be ready to leave. It seems like a really good job (although I have nothing to compare it to) and my lovely fiancé was surprised by how good it looked.

This code was tested and confirmed( it works ) on Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS with Qt 4.7.4 SDK installed. I tested the code with Windows Vista and Qt 4.7.4 and it did not work.
Make sure you have the splashpage.png file in the directory. Use the GIMP http://www.gimp.org to create a simple splashpage image of 600 x 400.

Sea-Bands are a drug-free way of reliving nausea, travel and morning sickness and they worked. They work by applying continuous pressure by way of a plastic stud on an acupressure point between the two central tendons on the wrist.
I suffer from sea sickness and used them recently on a boat trip, I am very impressed with the Sea-bands and will be keeping hold of them for more boat trips in the future

The Rebels of Ireland
The Rebels of Ireland
The Dublin Saga
Random House Large Print, Hardcover, Large Print, Large Print, 9780375433801, 1280pp.
Publication Date: March 14, 2006
Edward Rutherfurd's stirring account of Irish history, the Dublin Saga, concludes in this magisterial work of historical fiction. Beginning where the first volume, The Princes of Ireland, left off, The Rebels of Ireland takes us into a world transformed by the English practice of "plantation," which represented the final step in the centuries-long British conquest of Ireland. Once again Rutherfurd takes us inside the process of history by tracing the lives of several Dublin families from all strata of society – Protestant and Catholic, rich and poor, conniving and heroic.
From the time of the plantations and Elizabeth's ascendancy Rutherfurd moves into the grand moments of Irish history: the early-17th-century "Flight of the Earls," when the last of the Irish aristocracy fled the island; Oliver Cromwell's brutal oppression and confiscation of lands a half-century later; the romantic, doomed effort of "The Wild Geese" to throw off Protestant oppression at the Battle of the Boyne. The reader sees through the eyes of the victims and the perpetrators alike the painful realities of the anti-Catholic penal laws, the catastrophic famine and the massive migration to North America, the rise of the great nationalists O'Connell and the tragic Parnell, the glorious Irish cultural renaissance of Joyce and Yeats, and finally, the triumphant founding of the Irish Republic in 1922.
Written with all the drama and sweep that has made Rutherfurd the bestselling historical novelist of his generation, The Rebels of Ireland is both a necessary companion to The Princes of Ireland and a magnificent achievement in its own right.
Edward Rutherfurd was born in Salisbury, England, and educated at Cambridge University and Stanford University in California. His first bestselling novel, Sarum, was based on the history of Salisbury and Stonehenge. Russka, his second novel, recounted the sweeping history of Russia. London tells the 2,000-year story of the great city, bringing all of the richness of London's past unforgettably to life. His last novel, The Forest, was set in England's ancient "New Forest." A former resident of London and New York City, Edward Rutherfurd has had a home in Dublin for over ten years. He has two children.
"This sweeping sequel to The Princes of Ireland displays the same successful Rutherfurd formula of fictionalized history that has served him and his readers so well before. . . . A swiftly moving narrative that deftly blends historical facts with a novelist's imagination." —The Calgary Herald
Praise for The Princes of Ireland:
"A sweeping, carefully constructed portrait of a nation."
–The New York Times
"The Michener of our time."
–Toronto Star
"Spellbinding. . . . Like James Michener and Leon Uris, Rutherfurd does a magnificent job of packaging a crackling good yarn within a digestible overview of complex historical
circumstances and events."

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (AP) -- One of two men accused of killing the student body president at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill more than three years ago has pleaded not guilty.
Twenty-one-year-old Laurence Alvin Lovette of Durham entered the plea Thursday ahead of his trial, set to begin Nov. 28 in Hillsborough.
Twenty-two-year-old Eve Carson of Athens, Ga., was shot to death on March 5, 2008, after she was abducted and robbed.
Lovette's co-defendant, DeMario Atwater, pleaded guilty last year and was sentenced to life in prison.
Investigators say the men abducted Carson and forced her to withdraw $1,400 from automated teller machines before they shot her five times. Her body was found on a Chapel Hill street.

The surname Stickney was first found in Lincolnshire at Stickney which is today a linear village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district. The village dates back to the Domesday Book where it was listed as Stichenai and literally meant "long strip of land between streams." [1] Hence, conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the village and lands of Stickney, held by Ivor Tailbois, a Norman Baron, who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Stickney, Stickny, Sticknie and others.

Puppet Master Poster by GummibearboyWatch
©2009-2016 Gummibearboy
I had originally intended to do this a while ago, but held off because I still had more puppets to draw. But since I haven't done any in quite a while I figured I may as well put this together now. Now that I look at it, I realize that it's already filled to capacity anyway!
I really like the Comic Book style of them! (Sorry if that offended you)
Cool group pic!
Wow, this is a really good drawing of all the puppets! I especially love how you did torch and jester
Hey, Bombshell!
Nice touch!
Nice touch!
Wasn't Sutekh sent back to the underworld after his Totem avatar was destroyed by Rick?
is the one in the red dress Bombshell?
Yes it is. This was before Axis Rising, so it was based on her original design.
Love it. Keep up the good wok.
i was wondering what pm film did bombshell appear in or you made her your self?
I like it better when the puppets are the good guys but I thoguh Elsa(Leech Woman) was the only chick on the team?
The other girl is Bombshell. She was made but never appeared in any of the movies.
Awwwww thats a shame she would be a great addition. I liked 4 and 5 cuase 1.the puppets where the good guys
2.Jester was uber kawaii
3.It was not scar but thrilling,chilling,and action packed
4.Decapitron was epic
2.Jester was uber kawaii
3.It was not scar but thrilling,chilling,and action packed
4.Decapitron was epic
Called it X3
Called it X3
Torch, Totem, and Mephisto look the best. Good work.
dayummm u shud win a medal for doing this!
Thanks. I love horror movies.
Mephistopheles is badass!
AWesome picture!
AWesome picture!
who is the girl in the red dress?
That's Bombshell. She was produced for Castle of the Puppet Master, but it was never made.
Puppet Master is awsome.
I agree. It's a classic.
Indeed it is although I found the films after PM 5 not too great. I just hope Axis of Evil will be of the same standard of the first five films.
Yeah. With the economy the way it is, Full Moon has even fewer funds than usual, and they said that they were projecting a pretty ambitious film. But I just saw some pictures from the set of Demonic Toys 2 and that looks pretty good. So hopefully Puppet Master will follow suit!
Awesome, may i request the next Puppet Master Drawing be of them in some sort of deadly show-tunes caper?

A Thousand Words: Roman Signer; Talks about Observation Box, 2000
Kushner, Rachel, Artforum International
Once, I spread a load of dynamite over the ground and positioned a Super-8 camera very close to it. The film shows the fuse burning down, and then everything turns black. But Super-8 cameras are much tougher than video cameras, whose electronic mechanisms are distorted by the waves from the blast. The picture loses color; it becomes "pale from fear." After a few seconds of black-and-white images, the color slowly returns. I am interested in camera positions that record what the eye can't see-the "suffering" camera that participates, not just the viewpoint of the bystander.
Observation Box is a kind of laboratory situation designed so that the participant (me) can witness a huge fireball up close; the human eye thus becomes a substitute for the camera. To conduct my experiment, I transported the box out to Weissbad, a remote area in the canton of Appenzell, where I often execute ideas that can't be performed in the studio. I didn't intend a juxtaposition of peaceful nature and violence; the countryside was merely a practical testing ground. More important to me is the contrast between the apparent security the object represents and the actual danger it's intended to protect against. The box is a deceptive refuge, like the fragile windowpanes of our homes-what makes us feel so safe is in reality a thin membrane separating man from nature.
I sat inside Observation Box wearing a flameproof hood and special visor meant for looking directly into a fire. For a brief instant, the box was like the cockpit of a plane, or the driver's seat in a race car, with an external combustion "engine," if you will, which I sat behind, as if piloting into the explosion. I suppose Observation Box has a certain malevolent emanation. The hood and visor remind me of military gear designed for protection from a nuclear blast. Perhaps these types of actions are an elaborate way of working through certain fears. Physical risk, however, is not an element of the work, and I protect myself as well as I can. Injuries are simply the result of miscalculation. Other artists, like the Vienna Actionists, often invited the presence of blood, but to me that would be a mistake. For each piece, I choose specific safety measures, like flameproof suits or helmets, which also have an aesthetic appeal.
It has been mentioned, in terms of my developing interest in the properties of combustion, that I used to work in a pressure-cooker factory. Indeed I did once; it was my job to assemble release valves and pack the cookers. My experience at the factory didn't influence me so much as my mother's cooking with a pressure cooker, and pressure-cooker mishaps and explosions-as happened to my aunt, resulting in barley soup on the ceiling. Perhaps I even caused such accidents by incorrectly assembling the valves.
Explosions can be highly aesthetic. I understand them as a complex form of sculpture because an infinite number of forms are produced within extremely short periods of time; every moment looks different. The perfect sculpture is a transformation, a process. An explosion in water produces a transformation. A column of water is merely transient. But at the same time it is a sculpture that progresses and then collapses back into itself. …

Week in review: 8 things we learned
Leica? What's Leica?
As Photokina approaches we wanted to know which of the major camera manufacturers you were most interested in. As expected it was pretty much a 3-horse race, with Canon, Nikon and Sony taking the top spots, but really? More of you voted for 'Bored' than for Leica? That's just sad, especially given that Photokina takes place on the German company's home turf.
Meanwhile, earlier this week Leica quietly unveiled a new digital M-series rangefinder, the 'noticeably unnoticeable' $8000 M-P Digital.

Andrew Sullivan joins the rightwing blogosphere to take down Janet Napolitano
I think Andrew Sullivan is over-reacting. He's basing his calls for Napolitano's resignation on a couple of interviews she's done wherein she has not, apparently, taken enough responsibility for the attempted bombing of flight 253 into Detroit by the Nigerian "crotch-bomber." Indeed, it appears Sullivan is now hopping aboard the right-wing "fire Napolitano" bandwagon, shooting first and asking questions later. Or never.
But we should ask questions. Like, for instance:
Do we begin firing Secretaries of this-or-that Department each time we experience some failure or breach? Does it make sense to fire Napolitano (after only one year and no major security breakdowns) simply because her answers in a handful of interviews were not the ones Andrew Sullivan (and his erstwhile allies on the right) wanted to hear?
I think this sort of mentality is actually quite destructive. How is the Department of Homeland Security ever supposed to adapt to new challenges or learn from its mistakes if every time there is a security issue we toss out the leadership? Will firing Napolitano guarantee that we have more competent leadership in her place or will it just mean that some other new appointee has to learn all the ropes all over again? I think that a pattern of failures would certainly warrant such a response, but a few clumsily answered questioned on daytime television and one nearly-very-bad terrorist attack hardly justifies this reaction, let alone her resignation or removal.
Quite frankly, this whole hullaballoo is just that – a hysterical reaction – on the part of Sullivan especially who should know better. The right-o-sphere is eager to take a swing at any Obama official at any time and for any reason, but Sullivan should have the patience to think things through enough to offer up some coherent and constructive commentary on the issue. That whole "conservative disposition" thing is clearly not on display at the Dish today. This sort of guns-blazing reaction is too reminiscent of the sort of post 9-11 punditry that led us down this dismal road to begin with.
