I hate to overuse the word obsessed but this drink calls for it. Get ready: make plans to create this super simple drink and then have the best time sipping. If you haven't tried Pinnacle's Whipped Vodka, you and I (well me until recently at least!) clearly have been living in hiding. When I mentioned to a few friends I'd be partnering with Pinnacle this summer, no less than three went nuts over their love for the whipped vodka. I can see why.
Where had I been hiding? And more importantly, what had I been drinking? One had a famous orange creamsicle (pair with diet orange soda!), and another had a few recipes, one similar to what you see here. This is so good, refreshing and satisfying. I made it for a little at-home happy hour last night, and can imagine it pre-made and packaged for a fun day at the pool or beach, which is pretty much my weekend go-to plans. This cocktail, now dubbed a Pineapple Whip, screams day drinking… safe and responsibly, of course! Enjoy, and pin this one, ladies. It's a keeper and you should be a good friend and spread the word.
Here's how to make it:
1 part Pinnacle Whipped Vodka
2 parts pineapple juice
splash of club soda
strawberry garnish (cherry also works)
Add ice to glass, then add in vodka and juice. Splash club soda, stir and then garnish with a strawberry. Cheers!

I am not a big fan of vodka, but LOVE Pinnacle's Whipped flavor! I typically like more of a salty or herbal flavored cocktails, but this mixes beautifully with so many other beverages. I like it mixed with pink grapefruit juice. I'd like to try with the diet orange soda, creamsicle sounds yummy.
Love pineapples and the combo with vodka is great!

I'm mostly just a G&T girl, but do tell me, what does 'whipped' mean? I can't figure out how it translates to vodka. Or do I just need to go out and try it?
It's just a flavor… kind of like whipped cream
Great areilct, thank you again for writing.
It's also good with ginger ale instead of club soda!
Sounds delicious!
i love pineapple drinks!! this looks soo yummy!

A Message from Mother Earth and the Universe
Each morning you will always find me out walking enjoying my surroundings … being at peace within…connecting to Mother Earth and…sending my prayers of gratitude for all things big and small… This is the time I open myself to the energies and send your prayer requests unto Gods hands…
Over the past couple of weeks here in Maryland, we as many others have been given a large amount of snow more than we have seen here in many years… Such a refreshing time…but one also of total isolation… Being disconnected from the world as we know it…being disconnected from family, friends, work, a routine that many have come to just see as a right not a privilege.
A time when many are going through processes of energy and just need the time to just be… I have talked about it before… a time when we are here, to do that which we have chosen to do and we have come away from all that for one reason or another. As we go through that process of negating all that is before us, turning our backs so to say, to what we know needs to be done…… Spirit then takes us off our feet. This happened to me many many years ago…a time when I was being called to stand up and do what I am here to do…I too, knew it deep within my heart, mind and body…and at the same time found my hands full of what I call society…the demands that society gives to us that allows no room for error or being accepted in who you are. A time when if you even breathed about the work that I do would of placed me further in the constructed verbal battles with others along the way. So why even try and who did I exactly think I was anyway? Yes, I have been given all that I need, no doubt there… yes, I had been guided for eons with all of this, okay I acknowledge it… I had been given an opportunity to assist where I can and what did I do? I chose to go in that direction but I also allowed society to dictate how it was going to be done.
I then fell and twisted, detached ligaments, broke bones, severed joints…you name it and that is how you can describe my foot and ankle…I was given a non-walking cast for nine months….nine long months to look at why I was not moving forward in who I was… and I had to look at the trust level I had with myself and Spirit. Which I had never doubted…I just refused to see it totally their way. For those months I sat and learned so much more than before . I gave over total faith to those in Spirit with me and followed everything they were giving to me. Respecting and growing more in love with who I am and those in Spirit than I even thought was possible. I learned the three keys to human growth and enlightment. I learned what love truly was all about… my true relationship with God….. After those nine months I then started to put together what I believed was there for me, I opened a school, taught young children, become involved with all denominations of religious communities, went to school for my Master Degree and so much more that I could find, all that I was being guided to do. I was happy with my life but there was something still missing…what was it that I was just not getting… The Blessed Mother once again came to me and said it was time…Time? I thought this was the time…I worked every day and night giving up and over eighty hours a week of time to do my work. I gave to all those I met and assisted in every way I could think of… And then she showed me again how I still had something else here to do that I was not giving myself credit for, that I was not walking my true path….
I then made the choice to close down my school how heart breaking and at the same time it felt so right. Yes…I was teaching but I was not teaching what I was here to teach and I knew it, I just did not want to acknowledge it before.
It was the last trip of unloading everything from the school, I had just dropped of friends who helped me all night and I drove up to a traffic light and stopped. I looked into my rear view mirror and BAM….a white light and then I was sitting on top of a mountain talking…talking about everything to be done and how happy I was… I was with my father, mother and family…seeing Mother Earth and what was going on, expressing my views on what could be worked out… when I realized that I was not on Mother Earth I was viewing her from somewhere else… I place that I always knew I was and at the same time a place that I was not to be as I had a psychical life on Mother Earth…I turned to see Jeshua sitting beside me talking about millions of things to come for Earths humanity…it was one of the most surreal moments that it is etched into my memory as I re-live each moment. I had been in my van, I looked up and saw this explosion of light and then here I am back home talking like I have never left… that time spent with Jeshua is very personal and beautiful…being in that energy of pure love…never wanting to be anywhere else…talking about everything that I had lived through and experienced and at the same time seeing so much more to come…Talking about my family, my work and what I had come to Mother Earth to do…What the energies where like and what would be going on for the next millennium….and making that decision to stay right there or leave and go back….for to stay would bring about different probabilities to my friends, family and the world, those with whom I had contracts with to see them to where they needed to be…. to be awoken in their accurate alignment, their true life journey. That which they too… had to give to the world.
To leave and go back… would bring about the path that I had contracted out to do… to finish what I am to do. So much emotions and at the same there was none, for deep within you know there is not really a choice when you see it all before you. You are so filled with the life force energy… the same energy of love as when you contracted out to come unto the Planet of Earth to begin with… just as before you still have no feelings of negate, hurt or pain…You then stand to say let's do it.
As I came back unto my physical body, I had any things in which to do and at the same time there was many physical changes…ohhh…not so much that you could see on the outside but inside, yes…my whole core was damaged. My words could not be spoken and my mind had so many revelations that I needed to get them out, but with no speech I was once again entombed within my own body with nowhere to go….
Doctors said there was nothing to be done and sent me home...I did not take that for an answer as I began to teach myself how to write all over again, how to talk , to read and spell…good grief I had to teach myself all over how to spell cat and dog… and more importantly the meaning of words…comprehension.
Comprehension on many levels… this is what I find is the greatest lesson to learn in all of this that we live each day, comprehend what is given… not what is wanted…it is not about self… it is to love self but not be in love with self….Understanding the knowledge that each living being is learning ...the knowledge that is right there in front of you if you give yourself the time to allow it to come in…to seep into the mind and be a fact in which to receive what is being delivered to you every second with each breath you take. Sitting back how does this apply to you ? How does this make sense to you, for in everything you do… you too have experienced the same thing…You too have been taken off your feet to understand the knowledge that is being handed right to you…Do you see it? And the bigger question is are you ready to see and know it ?
So after all this, let's take a look at what we as a collective whole are not comprehending in our world right now…
As we look at the abundant amount of snowfall we have been experiencing here in the states. I find it fascinating how a whole state let alone many others that over this past year had been taken off its feet in one way or another.
We can say that many have been complaining about their life and needed time to themselves to be alone to just look at things and have breathing room to think…Okay done…the snow left you inside off your feet for just that…What did you get done? Did you enjoy your time with your family? How about the time with yourself? What did you get done? Did you enjoy how Mother Earth gave to you the time you had been asking for? Did you put your feet? Did you get work done that you had been putting off for so long? What was it that you accomplished during that time?
Don't you see…Everything you place out into the Universe comes back, that is why many of you like to hear and say the saying "be careful of what you ask for" because you never know how it comes back to you, do you? When we place things out into the Universe it comes back to us, how do we accept what is given back to us?
The creation of thought is like the light which escapes even the naked eye, it transforms and is in the thought stream of the Universe as it is being formulated into the mind of your thoughts before it is even placed in the Universe. So when you actually acknowledge that thought, it has already gone into action. Now you just have to catch up to that thought pattern to be in action as it presents itself back to you. I will always ask you" Are you ready?" Are you ready for everything that you placed out into the Universe with every thought you have, every thought that is being formulated from you?
So step back and look at your thoughts right now, what is it that you are placing out and around you …out into the Universe. For as you do it is be transformed into that which you are creating it to be. And along with this comes your responsibility to that thought form. It is why will hear me and so many others say keep your thoughts that which is love and see how it comes back to you. Why of course all that which is love. No matter what it is you are working on, what you are doing if it is in the intention of Love it will come back to you in love.
Right now we on Mother Earth have so many mixed emotions and as that is placed within the Universal thought forms it is coming back to us in those thought forms. Do you see this? Much tension around the world, much emotional tensions and unanswered questions circulating and all of it has been coming back.
So yes, many can look at this snow amount as a cleansing; the purity of snow is the purity of the heart in which all actions are decreed. And at the same time it is also that which is needed to be seen on all levels of what it is all about. We were given and will keep being given amounts of Mother Nature that is what is being asked for..In the snow it is the multilayers of self, snow accumulates in layers …so too is the emotions in which we hold onto. When we receive rain it is the washing of all that we hold within for rain continues in waves, what are you emotional highs and lows? And when we have ice it is to what we have hardened ourselves to within our hearts, what emotions do we associate with ice? It is the emotional freezing of love, for do we truly believe we are loved in all the ways we seek?
So as we venture this year into the emotions of what is going on around us the weather does reflect all of this back to us. It reflects that which we have placed out into the Universe and the Universe says " so be it".
When we ask for time, many do not think beyond asking for time. When we ask for love many do not think beyond what love is and when we ask for something for ourselves, many do not even know what that could be.
So if you believed you were held hostage during this time of huge amounts of snow fall so far this year, think of all the times you have held yourself hostage with your emotions. Allow the time to give to yourself to look at your emotions, for the Universe is giving you the time you have asked for. Use it to the best of your ability to free yourself, free yourself from the emotional bondage you have been holding onto. Free your emotions to truly live the life you keep dreaming. Comprehend the message that is waiting right there for you and accept that which lies within… is a reflection of that which waits for you.
No one likes to be taken off their feet, and this snow that we have all been experiencing is doing just that. Look for where you can enjoy your time, get things done, and connect emotionally in ways that you have held off for so long just waiting until the right time, for when is the right time? And most of all just relax.
There is nowhere to go until you get it…get it?
See you in the Universe of thoughts and freedom to love like never before….

Seabourn, in an ongoing effort to upgrade its image from traditional to trendy, has launched a new toiletries program on all four ships. The three ship line, whose vessels each hold just 208 passengers and which now calls itself -- promotionally-speaking, not officially of course -- the "Yachts of Seabourn," has replaced in-cabin Neutrogena products with the ne plus ultra Molton Brown line of soaps, lotions and such. Molton Brown is distinctive for its spa-like scents (sea moss, ginseng and eucalyptus among others) and use of natural essences. Great Britain-based Molton Brown, one of the hippest and hottest product lines for on-the-cusp Anglophiles, and which is sold in such retail palaces as Barney's, has a loftier image than the stalwart Neutrogena, whose pedigree of sales outlets such as Safeway and Walgreens isn't quite as grand.
The folks at Seabourn say that the line's welcoming tradition, in which stewardesses greet guests with a tray of exotic soaps upon arrival continues -- and offers, in addition to the Molton Brown products other upscale brands, including the French L'Occitane and Hermes as well as our own Essential Elements.

Men's Cross Country's Youth On Display In New England Championships
Oct. 7, 2012
WESTFIELD, Mass. - The Minutemen rested some of their top runners this week giving the team's younger runners a chance to prove themselves in the spotlight of the New England Championships. Four freshmen for UMass assisted in a 19-of-37 finish for the team with Benjamin Groleau leading the way for the first time in his young collegiate career. Dartmouth won the championship with Boston College not far behind them.
With senior John O'Shea and juniors Antony Taylor and Patrick McGowan sitting out this week, the underclassmen were presented with an opportunity to lead the charge and make an impact in the team scoring. Groleau finished the 8k race first for the Minutemen averaging 3:10.30 a kilometer for an overall time of 25:22.39. The freshman out of Framingham, Mass. placed in the top quarter of runners crossing the finish line at 47th out of a total 261 runners.
Placing second for UMass was their only upperclassman in the race, Jared Reddy. Reddy placed 93rd overall with a time of 25:52.71. Coming in third was another freshman, Quentin Stipp who crossed the finish line at 26:00.29. Crossing the finish line after Stipp was a pair of sophomores in Zachary Florence and Richard Racz. Florence finished fourth for UMass at 26:10.57 while Racz was just five seconds behind him at 26:15.08. Finishing the race for UMass was a pair of freshman with Miles Hodge placing sixth for UMass with a time of 26:30.24 and not far behind Hodge was Negus at 27:10.21.

The oldest way to commute is walking, and people from a good part of Milwaukee can walk downtown by way of Wells Street, one block north of Wisconsin Avenue. The main public library is down that way, if you need to register to vote, City Hall is down that way, if you have to go to court, the court house is down that way too. One hundred years ago, most people commuted to work on their two feet.
Right opposite the end of 20th Street, across from Milwaukee Center for Independence and a newish one story law firm building, is a safety hazard and eye sore in the sidewalk along Wells Street. In the summer, its a slippery wet hazard where water pools when it rains. In the winter, its an even more slippery slick ice hazard when it freezes after a slight thaw.
Water drains out of the retaining wall of the parking lot just west of WISN, northeast of the renovated residential Bockl building, due north of the rear end of the Pabst Mansion. At the top of the retaining wall, behind a fence topped with barbed wire, are also a series of satellite dishes. Drainage is necessary when soil is packed up behind a retaining wall, but there are no arrangements to channel the run-off safely into the storm sewer system or into the ground. It just pools on the sidewalk.
There is a stretch more than thirty foot long where pools of water collect. And then, after being dumped on a public sidewalk by the runoff from a private retaining wall for a private parking lot, the water can't quite make it over the curb into the storm sewer either.
Over the past ten years, there has been no sign that either the private property owners abutting the sidewalk or the Milwaukee Department of Public Works has taken any measures to remove this hazard. Perhaps a local TV station should investigate.

text: Why the Uninsured Aren't Enrolling (Yet) Back Health care expert Bob Laszewski has a fascinating post this morning that is a must-read.* Citing a study by McKinsey reported in Saturday's Wall Street Journal, he notes that in some states as few as one in ten consumers who bought coverage on the new marketplaces were previously uninsured. He wryly observes that, "If this keeps up there won't be a 'death spiral.' Heck, so far the insurers are just re-enrolling their old customers at higher rates!" Oh my. Why aren't the uninsured signing up? Well, for starters, that's the wrong question. The real question is "Why aren't the uninsured signing up YET?" And the answer is straightforward: for the past six weeks, consumers have focused on holiday consumption. As Federal Reserve data show,** consumers have the tightest pinch in cash flow at this time of year – which will soon be released with the disbursement of $320 billion in tax refunds when the IRS begins to accept income tax returns later this month. To the extent that HHS is going to be successful with enrollment in qualified health plans, it could only be now. Should that give one hope? Maybe. But it should also make the federal government seriously question whether fourth quarter open enrollment in the future makes any sense at all. Since HHS is poised to finalize the open enrollment for 2015 soon, one can only hope that they don't again try to compete with Christmas. For friends in the media, all statements are on the record. Please feel free to contact me at email@example.com or 615-761-6929 if I can be helpful in any way.

Think Tank uses a marketing tag-line proposing that it is "the choice of working professionals." Candidly I think that statement is too limited. I don't think it matters if you're a working professional or an enthusiastic hobbyist, Think Tank makes a product that is right for you.
The manner in which you carry your camera equipment is determined by your proposed use for that equipment. You can carry your equipment in roller bags if you have a lot of it and you're transporting over long distances; if you're travelling and spending a lot of time outside then a backpack or sling might be best choice; but if you're working an event and need mobility and ready access to your lenses to change the shot you should consider a belt system.
Many event or wedding photographers choose a belt system as it's the best possible solution for needing ready access to protected camera equipment while on the move.
At the heart of any belt modular component system is the belt itself. Recognising that "one size does not fit all" Think Tank offers three different belt styles that come in as many as four different sizes. There is a belt for you and your needs.
I tested the Pro Speed Belt which is the medium weight belt produced by Think Tank. The two other belts are the Thin Skin (lightweight) and Steroid Speed Belt (heavy duty).
A belt is just a belt, right? In this instance? Not at all! The Think Tank belt provides the best combination of comfort and utility you can imagine.
The Pro Speed belt was perfectly suited for my needs. The belt is narrow which means it didn't hinder movement while it was being worn.
Although it is narrow the belt didn't cut into me anywhere as it is extremely well padded and flexible. Two qualities that I found ensured my comfort.
The rock lobster belt clip is large, sturdy, and very secure providing the wearer with the confidence that the belt and any attached pouches are going to stay put.
The belt strap is easily adjusted for length and once adjusted was stable. Some reviewers have suggested the belt strap loosened under the weight of several fully-loaded pouches but that was not my experience.
The true utility of a camera belt is determined by the components that the user puts on it. Think Tank offers more than a dozen different lens, flash or camera body pouches in its modular component line. You can do some research about which pouches best suit your needs and buy each pouch individually or you can get the Modular Component Set which comprises of four pieces:
• A Lens Changer 50 to accommodate wide-angle lenses
• An LC 75 Pop Down for a 70-200mm 2.8 lens
• A Speed Changer, a gadget bag that accommodates a pro-sized body and sundry items
• Strobe Stuff for one pro-sized flash
While these may not satisfy all your needs the Modular Component Set V2.0 will serve as a useful starting point and buying it as a set provides a 20% discount over the purchase price if purchased separately.
The two lens pouches are sufficiently large to comfortably accommodate lenses with their hoods attached either in shooting or stored position.
Both have an elasticated drawstring top that tightens over the top of the lens easily but can subsequently be a little "fiddly" to loosen to get the lens out; a minor issue.
All the pouches have some padding but these are not travel pouches so the belt and the components should not be expected to protect equipment from all manner of travelling obstacles, they are working pouches that will protect from minor bumps as you push your way through the crowd to get the shot.
The lens pouches also have a padded tongue sewn into the top of the pouch to cover the lens' glass should you choose not to put a cap on the lens.
All the Think Tank pouches and accessory holders have a zippered bottom pocket that stores a seam sealed rain cover for when the weather turns. Alternatively it can be used to store other small accessories.
On the outside of all the pouches is an outer stretch fabric pocket that can store small accessories or lens caps when not in use.
These pouches and belts are feature-rich and all of them add to the utility of the belt. It's obvious Think Tank has put considerable work into the design and it shows in this product.
The pouches all protect any carried accessories, lens, flash, extra bodies and do so in comfort but one of the most useful attributes of this system is the ability to move the components around the belts length should you want to rotate them on the belt itself.
Each pouch has a stiff white plastic tongue that extends vertically down the back of each pouch inside the Velcro attaching band. That plastic tongue can be threaded through a corresponding loop on the belt that then locks the component in that location.
If however you want more flexibility then don't hook the plastic tongue through the loop on the belt. The pouch is still, (by way of the 1 ½ inch Velcro attaching band), securely attached to the belt but you can move the pouch around the belt moving it to the front when you need to change a lens or get some batteries and then move it to your side or back when its not in use.
It's the simple things that provide the greatest satisfaction and this is a very simple design characteristic that you will quickly come to appreciate as you move from one shot to the next.

JBW TO THOMAS CARLYLE; 25 January 1826; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18260125-JBW-TC-01; CL 4:24-25.
[25 January 1826]
Here are letters for your Mother and Jane, but none, my Beloved for you— Your last deserves a fuller and more deliberate answer than I have yet had leisure to give it; as, for some days and nights past I have been wholly occupied about the momentous election; and this morning I feel spiritless and worn out to the last degree;—much more inclined to sleep than to write. But you shall have a long letter from me, presently, at the Hill; in the meantime, taking it for granted that you have not left Edinr, I send the rest of my commands, for Annandale, which in the bustle of yesterday I was prevented from getting ready to go along with James Johnston. He is a worthy creature that, as ever I saw but oh far too nervous for this world. He had nearly given up the Gohst [sic] under the operation of examination. The hard and stony hearts of all present were melted at his state—
Carry my most affectionate regards to all your people, and a Sister's kiss to my dear Child— Say to Alick that if good wishes were farms he would not be long without one— Farewell my own Brother—or Husband if you like that better— I live in the hope of your speedy return, when perhaps you will find things wearing a more prosperous aspect—Yesterday, when I was packing up your Mother's caps—my Mother with a sort of half kind air brought me a little handkerchief and said "you may put in that if you choose for Jane"— You may believe I thanked her with all my heart for this small mercy, and hailed it as an indication of returning good humour, with great joy[.] Oh Yes, Love, all will come right in process of time—only—I am afraid we shall die in the interim— God bless you at all events—expect to hear from me very soon
Yours wholly and forever /
Jane Welsh

Pat Martino: Blue in Green
Blue in Green
Pat Martino (guitar)
Interchange (Muse 5529)
Pat Martino (guitar),
James Ridl (piano), Marc Johnson (bass), Sherman Ferguson (drums).
Composed by Miles Davis.
Recorded: New York, March 1, 1994
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
Pat Martino fans rejoiced when this CD arrived in 1994. After his long recovery from a brain aneurysm and other personal setbacks, the guitarist was finally back to the brilliant form he had exhibited in the '60s and '70s. In fact, if you compare his versions of "Catch" and "Blue in Green" from Interchange with those on the widely acclaimed Live at Yoshi's six years later in 2000, it would be fair to say that Martino has been again at the top of his game since the mid-'90s, and that Interchange was his coming-out party.
"Blue in Green" captures Martino's lyrical and soulful sides, with an unhurried lucidity and discernment. Martino plays the calming, circular theme with a dampened yet penetrating tone, elongating notes for dramatic emphasis and leaving open space to effectively frame the gradually increasing ardor of his heartfelt and surging extended runs. Ridl's comping is both purposeful and unobtrusive, and the pianist's neatly constructed solo reveals a particularly strong and creative left hand. Martino's reprise draws on bent notes and darkly throbbing chords far more than did his opening treatment, as he closes out a lovely interpretation of the ballad Miles Davis first introduced on Kind of Blue.

Social Commerce: Shopping Inside of Social
By Kathryn Perry-Oracle on Aug 08, 2014
Mike Stiles, Senior Content Manager for Oracle Social (pictured left), believes something is broken in the social commerce world. Despite the recommendations from friends, the On-Facebook stores, and popular opinion, we consumers are just not making purchases directly from our social platforms. Stiles thinks there just might be too many digital hoops to jump through because each one "is a golden opportunity for that buyer to reconsider, change their mind, or put off the purchase." By removing the hoops, brands can capitalize on the rich social experience and convert interest and traffic into sales.

Meritxell Negre, the Latin Queen of Soul and the new Peaches (albeit 6th Peaches) in Peaches and Herb is now singing about a debt settlement program that is named the "National Debt Relief Stimulus Plan."
That sure sounds like the name of a program designed to fool consumers into thinking there is some so or government sponsored debt elimination program. That's simply not true.
Meritxell Negre is hired by DebtFreeLeague.com to produce jingles for the National Debt Relief Stimulus Plan marketing campaign. The professional singer-songwriter and community activist joins an economical cause. Helping Americans being pummeled by unemployment, rampant credit card debt, and medical problems, to avoid bankruptcy.
Meritxell's voice and soulful intensity is also heard in numerous movie scores and jingles for companies like Sears, Pringles, and Covergirl. Debt Free League hired the singer-songwriter to record several commercial jingles that they hope will improve their branding.
The strategic move arrives at a time that millions of Americans are being late on making their credit card payments. The company wants to help.
They believe that their debt settlement program, which can cut an outstanding credit card debt, medical debt, or business debt in half, creates more substantial debt relief than debt consolidation.
Typically, debt consolidation causes a people to pay 150 percent more than the original debt.
The bankruptcy alternative is unparalleled in the debt settlement industry. – Source
So here is what really makes me laugh. DebtFreeLeague.com says it's program is better than other debt settlement programs. And the quote attributed to Meritxell is actually not a quote at all.
In their press release they say "The tremendous rate of unemployment is causing a lot of stress in American households. But thankfully, Debt Free League is helping Americans avoid bankruptcy, which is crucial for sustaining our economic recovery", Meritxell expresses. Seriously, expresses! No says, nor said, nor stated, but expressed. So she actually didn't say that then. She must have 'expressed' it in some sort of interpretative dance or something.
DebtFreeLeague.com goes on to say "Meritxell just completed recording a jingle for their Spanish subsidiary, Libre de Deudas. Translated to "The real defender of the debtor", the jingle is circulating in radio commercial spots running throughout the Houston and San Diego area."
The Real Defender of the Debtor, are you kidding me. LOL.

Inside Track
Inside Track is a betting shop for thoroughbred horse races. Inside Track Betting (ITB) machines line the walls of these establishments, which can be found in various locations throughout San Andreas in 1992 and Vice City in 1984. The player can bet money on horse races in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but not in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
In the mission Against All Odds in GTA San Andreas, Catalina, together with protagonist Carl Johnson, robs the Montgomery branch of the betting shop for money, and later, as a result, was chased by police. Luckily, they were able to get to Catalina's hideout in Fern Ridge to lose the cops.

- Inside Track-GTASA-horses.jpg
Selecting a horse, and placing a wager on it in which the player can either lose that amount of money or win double to triple that amount.
Betting Trick
- Taken from Forum:Get Rich Quick Betting Trick
A simple way to ensure you never lose is to save before you bet. This way if you lose you can just reload your save game. If you gamble all your money in one go, then if you win you will gain a large amount of money.
To ensure that you eventually win, you should bet on the same horse every time. Statistically, this horse will eventually win, and should not take more than around 5 attempts. Once you win, save the game again and you can repeat if required.
For this trick to be worthwhile, you should save at a location close to the betting shop. The closest safehouse and Inside Track Betting Shop together are the Jefferson Safehouse in Jefferson and the betting shop in Downtown Los Santos under the Mulholland Intersection.
Note - 4/5 Times Blue or Teal will always win the race, and it can become extremely frustrating, especially if your horse jetted off the starting line and then slown down. Do not let this change your mind though, because the chances are the horse you previously bet on will win if you bet on a different one.

Cables intelligence
Wikileaks started publishing leaked cables from US embassies around the globe. They say that a total of 251,287 cables will be made public. 0x0lab started looking at the contents!!
Most of them are tagged based on classification and subject. It would be difficult and cumbersome to start reading them one by one and trying to find out useful information which may mean something.
As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. First we follow these 3 simple steps:
1. Load all released cables into an RDBMS
2. Create a quick search engine
3. Show the results
All cables are loaded into an RDBMS and the messages are full text indexed. A cable entry in the DB is comprised of:
- Reference ID
- Origin Embassy
- Date created
- Date released
- Classification
- Message
Now that we have all these ready lets start searching for interesting keywords.
Searching for Nuclear
Searching for Bombing
Searching for Globalization
Searching for Recession
Bear in mind that we only have a very small sample of the leaked documents. Proper pattern analysis when the sample is almost complete will yield more interesting results.
No trackbacks yet.

Christopher Daniels is one of the TNA originals that the company was built on, but much like AJ Styles, Daniels is on his way out of TNA Impact Wrestling. PWS reported on Friday that agent Bill Behrens just sent out the word that Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are taking independent bookings. The wording indicates that they can appear on DVD, Internet pay-per-views and television.
When wrestlers are under a contract with TNA Impact Wrestling, they cannot appear for another promotion on television, pay-per-view or DVDs. That means that, when their contracts expire in the next few weeks, they likely won't re-sign. They will join Chris Sabin and AJ Styles as long-time TNA competitors to leave the company.
AJ Styles had been with TNA Impact Wrestling since their first ever show when they aired as a weekly pay-per-view. Chris Sabin and Frankie Kazarian debuted shortly thereafter, interesting both with the same nickname – "The Future." Daniels was involved in one of the first big TNA storylines as part of the group Triple X.
The Bill Behrens announcement stated that Christopher Daniels was taking independent bookings. It referred to Daniels as a four-time X-Division champion and eight-time TNA/NWA tag team champion. It also noted his TV title and two tag team titles in Ring of Honor. Finally, it said that Daniels was also available to appear as Curry Man and that Kazarian was available for bookings as well.
While TNA Impact Wresting is losing their biggest stars, that are busy signing smaller, less expensive, names to long-term contracts. The biggest signing was James Storm, who is also a TNA original, but seems content in the company. They also signed Robbie-E and Gunner to multi-year deals and just announced that TNA signed Rockstar Spud to a multi-year deal as well. While Spud is entertaining, the choices show the directing TNA Impact Wrestling is headed.

Beijing, China - A great union of sophisticated New York style flavor and traditional style simplicity. Cheesecake is definitely a favorite. It's practically its own food group. It's an obvious go-to dessert for almost any occasion. And Queen's Café uses those classic ingredients that make it so good.
Originally from Hong Kong, Queen's Café opened a branch at Beijing's popular Sanlitun Village more than two years ago. While the café does have heartier – and less fattening – food options, most agree that Queen's Café serves up the most authentic cheesecake in Beijing.
Queen's Café was established in 1952, Hong Kong. Mr. Yu Yong Fu, the owner and the chef, was trained at a leading Russian restaurant and became the master chef. With an absolute dedication to authenticity, Hong Kongers immediately fell in love with the unique cuisine. Queen's Café became an iconic landmark in the Causeway Bay. Mr. Yu and his team remained dedicated to the traditional Russian method of cooking and he personally trained all new chefs. All original recipes were retained and passed down through generations.
With a wide range of cheesecake offerings, Queen's has cheesecake options ranging from fresh fruit to Oreo flavored, all delivered with that traditional, silky taste that's hard to forget.
Queen's Cafe
Address: The Village, Sanlitun. Building S9-33.
Telephone: 010-6416-1928
Hours: 11:00 - 11:00
Average Price for Two: 100 RMB

Joshua Ledet is gone. America, instead of choosing the best singer and an R&B powerhouse who could actually benefit from winning this show, is pinning its symbolic hopes on a cardboard-and-tassel Miss Junior America cutout and a dudebro. This poses a question. Do I want to be angry at Idol–or, more to the point, be the sort of person who gets angry over Idol? Expecting voters to choose a singer based on talent is like expecting high schoolers to choose a class president based on platform instead of how stellar Jessica's attendance record was or how well Phillip Flicklips coiffed his hair. (Jessica's probably more like Tracy Flick in this analogy, but leave us our puns.)
I know I said this would be a furious post, but I'll let that continuity slip away, much like Idol's own continuity out of life or Steven Tyler's hair out of its cobwebs of product or Jennifer Lopez out of the show. After all, I also said winning doesn't matter. Because winning doesn't matter, not when Jimmy Iovine's dropped about 15 mentions of the awesome R&B tracks he's
acknowledging Joshua, like Phillip, might be able to write commissioning for the debut. Not when his final "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World" could've been a victory performance itself. He'll be fine. We hope.
That said, if you do not vote for Jessica Sanchez, you are wrong. The choice is no longer between a good singer and a mediocre singer–although it kind of still is–and between caring about winning and not giving a shit. If you're fundamentally voting because of Phillip's looks, and be honest with yourself about this, you can get a better dose of that from Google Image Search, YouTube or porn. The end. Soapbox over. Superlatives, begin.
LEAST SUSPENSEFUL ARRANGEMENT: Jessica Sanchez was chosen for the finale first. Did anybody, even for a second, think Joshua Ledet would actually make it there instead of Phillip Phillips?
BEST BAND: Adam Lambert's band. Who knew that adding those backup singers and that guitarist to the "Never Close Our Eyes" lineup would make the track that much better?
MOST LIKELY TO BE FORESHADOWING: Adam Lambert performing on Idol. You'll recall he lost to a WGWG, which–let's face it–will probably happen again this season.
LEAST LIKELY PERFORMANCE IN GENERAL: Did anybody even know Lisa Marie Presley still existed? (We'd give you video here, but the phenomenal specimen of humanity known as YouTube spambot "x123idolriniart" doesn't want to let us happen. So you'll just have to take our word for it that we watched the show and confirmed she exists. Maybe as a hologram, though.)
BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF TOMORROW'S FINALE: You know, I've been critical of artists repeating past songs, but when Jessica's choice was "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," I don't really trust new material. That's right. American Idol has brought me over the months to the point where I just want to hear the old triumphs, because they'll be triumphs. This means Jessica needs to do "Sweet Dreams" (to prove she can be current), "I Will Always Love You" (because that's what an Idol moment is) and, depending on whether she cares more about winning or market placement, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" or "Stuttering.") There, Jessica, I just won you Idol. You're not going to read that.
Oh and Phillip can just do "Volcano" three times, I guess. That'd be the best possible outcome. (Seriously, though, expect "Thriller." As the final song. I'd lay down money. I may already have.)
(One more. For reminiscence's sake. GRR AMERICA.)

The First Chapter - Recap
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with Nolan's voiceover telling us the story of the real Amanda Clarke; a little girl who was raised by a loving father David Clarke. David went to work for Grayson Global run by Conrad Grayson and his wife, Victoria Grayson was the queen of the Hampton society and David lived in a beach house next to the Grayson mansion. Victoria and David got into an affair and planned to run away together. But everything changed when Conrad's ties to a terrorist group were in danger of being exposed. Victoria decided to protect her family and they both framed David for the crime. David was convicted and Amanda spent her childhood in foster homes and dreary institutions.
Years later, Nolan meets Amanda and he tells her about her father's death. He tells her that her father was his mentor. He hands over David's journals to Amanda so that she would know the whole truth and also forgive those who conspired against him. Well, instead of forgiving, Amanda planned a road map for revenge. She began with swapping identities with her roommate in prison; Emily Thorne. Amanda returned to the Hamptons as Emily Thorne. She then moved into the Hampton's circle and began eliminating the people who destroyed her family. The first to go down was Lydia Davis; Victoria's best friend and Conrad's secret girlfriend. She had falsely testified against David.
Emily set a perfect stage where she exposed Lydia's secret affair with Conrad and Victoria forced Lydia to leave the Hamptons. She then laid eyes on Daniel; an easy prey and her way into the Grayson's inner circle. But we all learn that Emily still has feelings for a guy from her past, Jack Porter and his dog, Sam. Jack and his brother Declan owned a bar named Stowaway. Declan began an affair with Charlotte Grayson. Emily kept her emotions in check but Jack confesses about his feelings to her. Victoria has Frank follow Emily and he tracks down Emily's roommate from juvi; the real Emily Thorne. But she kills Frank. Amanda arrives at the Hamptons and Emily is shocked to see her. Amanda tells Emily that Frank figured out that they swapped identities and so she killed him.
Amanda started creating trouble by hitting on Jack. Our fake Amanda took full advantage of Jack's feelings for the actual Amanda. And they started seeing each other. Another meddlesome character, Tyler, Daniel's Harvard roommate, enters their lives to complicate things. He was eyeing for a position in Grayson Global. Emily sensed something wasn't right and so Nolan did some digging. He finds out that Tyler is gay and a bit of a con man. Now these ex-roommates were raising hell for Emily and she tells her mentor, Takeda, that she is losing control. She then decides to get married to Daniel.
Around the same time, a writer named Treadwell makes an appearance and Emily stole some tapes from his house. The tapes were the recorded conversations he had with David. She then torched his house. Emily then told Amanda the truth about her revenge and Amanda left. Emily then learned some shocking things from those stolen tapes. Charlotte is David's daughter. Emily sent Conrad this recording. At the engagement party, Tyler arrived at the beach where Daniel was spending an alone moment. He had learned the truth about Emily and Daniel shot him. Just then Takeda showed up and finished Tyler off. But Daniel was the last man standing on the beach with blood on his tux and he was arrested for Tyler's murder.
Brooks, Daniel's lawyer, was in a damage control mode and so he set up a theory which suggested that there was a third person on the beach. A hunt began for a man in a hoodie and it turned out to be Jack Porter. But Declan tells Treadwell that he was on the beach with Charlotte and there was no one on the beach. Charlotte was on pain killers and she had alcohol with it. She didn't know what she saw. So now that hooded man theory is shredded. And so was Daniel's fate. But Victoria tried one last thing for her son. One of the jury members was likely to convict Daniel and so Victoria hired a goon to kidnap the member's kid. And Emily devised a plan to get the heat off Jack.
She set up the goon for Tyler's murder and he threatens Victoria. The goon is then found dead in his cell; he hung himself. Another David Clarke situation! With this incident, Emily realized that the Graysons murdered her father. Charlotte was in a bit of a funk and she began digging about her biological father. She found a picture odd avid in prison and there was a date written behind it; the day David died. Charlotte hands this to Emily and wonders how her mother got this picture. Charlotte was on a downward spiral and Victoria made a move; straight to the Feds. She was ready to become an informant in exchange of full immunity. Agent McGowan raided Grayson Global.
Daniel realized that the Graysons got Lee Moran (the goon) killed and that the suicide note was a fake. Emily thought that after leaning the truth about Lee and David Clarke, Daniel would tell the cameras the truth; but it turned out otherwise. Daniel supported his father. Emily went back to her research. In the tapes from the Treadwell archives, Emily saw a familiar face; the man who was in the picture that Charlotte gave her; a white haired man. So she put Nolan of "whitey's "surveillance duty. Nolan didn't want to risk Emily taking on whitey without knowing anything about him. So Nolan disguised a camera in the cable box and whitey got suspicious. On the other hand, Victoria was getting frustrated with the Feds. Sam passed away. Jack is at Emily's house and they kiss each other and Ashley saw it.
After a round of family feud, Victoria had to answer to Daniel. Victoria couldn't stand to lose her son and she returned the evidence that she stole to Daniel. Emily has been listening in to the conversation. Meanwhile, the whitey got hold of Nolan as he found out that he wasn't a cable guy. The next day, Emily pretended that a man broke into their house and took something and Daniel understood that the evidence was taken. Emily then went to Nolan's house to hide the evidence. She found out that whitey had taken Nolan. She called him and told him that she was Amanda Clarke. She then met him and told him that she had evidence that Conrad would use to implicate him. Whitey took her to Nolan and after whitey went looking for the evidence; Emily freed the both of them.
She then asked Nolan to deliver the evidence to the Feds. And it was delivered. The Agent told Victoria that Conrad ordered David Clarke's murder and that was news to her! Victoria then convinced Lydia to testify with her. Conrad tried his best to convince Victoria against testifying. If she boarded that plane to DC that would be the last thing she would be doing. So be it; see you in hell! Victoria left. Emily got into a fight with Whitey but she remembered her promise she made to her father and she let him go. But when she returned home, Daniel was there and he confronted her about Jack. Emily admitted to kissing Jack and she returned the engagement ring to Daniel. She then went to the bar to meet Jack; to tell him everything. But there she saw a pregnant Amanda come out of the room. Her plans were shattered.
On the other hand, Whitey tampered the plane that Victoria and Lydia took to DC. The plane exploded and there were no survivors. Emily was upset that all evidence was gone. But Nolan had made a back up. When she saw the evidence, she got another shock; she learned that her mother is alive! Cut to the present, Emily starts her new chapter. Eager to learn about the Graysons' connections to her "supposedly" dead mother, she arrives to pay tribute to Victoria; a year has passed and things have changed. Ashley and Daniel are together. Charlotte says that she is clean but there is some bad news; her blood reports say otherwise. As she is begin taken away, she runs to Emily and says something in her ear. The episode ends.

MODERATOR: We'll go ahead and get started with an opening statement from Coach.
DAWKINS: Well, for us, we're very excited about the season. We return a number of players, we return a lot of experience. Of course, we return a First-Team All-Pac-12 player in Dwight Powell. Another defensive player, All-Defensive Team player in Josh Huestis. And looking forward to having Anthony Brown rejoin our team this year, very excited about that as well. So that's who we are.
- - - - - - - - - - -
What's been the biggest area of focus for the team in the offseason so far?
POWELL: For us, we have had a lot of focuses, actually, as far as growing as a team. So we have been obviously working on different aspects of our offense and defense and individual skill development on the court. We have also spent a lot of time, a considerable amount of time off the court growing together and figuring out what it's going to take for us mentally and physically to reach our goals.
DAWKINS: There you go. And I would like to echo what Dwight said. We have definitely spent a lot of time with our group both on and off the court and developing some synergy. Excited about our way of playing, excited about the way we're enjoying the process, and looking forward to continuing to get better throughout the next couple months.
- - - - - - - - - - -
You have one of the most experienced teams in the league this year. You've obviously made a very aggressive move in trying to improve your RPI by scheduling Michigan and Connecticut and yet you're picked sixth in the preseason here. I know you don't lose much sleep over polls, but I'm wondering whether you actually relish the idea of going into the season with expectations so low evidently from people around the Pac-12.
DAWKINS: Well, I don't really of course follow that as much, from the standpoint of where they pick us. I'm just excited about my team. We scheduled based on the fact that we had a lot of experience returning. I thought it was the appropriate schedule for our guys to compete against. And we all are going to start off the same way. As you know, when conference play starts, we'll all be 0-0 and we'll all be competing heavily for a Pac-12 title.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Dwight, what was your takeaway from that Navy SEAL training that your team underwent recently? Did you think it was beneficial, and, if so, in what way?
POWELL: I definitely think it was beneficial. First and foremost, it was a challenge that maybe not all of us thought we could get through, but we did. And we did so as a team. Also, just teaching us that level of discipline and commitment that those guys have to get the job that they have to get done. And with no excuses. I think we can take away a lot from that going into our season and in the preparation for our season as far as no excuses and fighting through adversity and fighting through pain, but all together. So, yeah, we got a lot out of it.
- - - - - - - - - - -
There's a very good recent history of twins on the farm with the Collins twins and of course the Lopez twins and now have you Marcus and Malcolm Allen, and obviously they're perimeter players, but what can you tell us about this new set of twins?
DAWKINS: Well, the new set of twins we have, they're going to provide depth on the perimeter for us. Marcus, of course, is the most touted one. Really good scorer, really good athlete, so he's going to provide that for us on the floor. Malcolm, his brother, is more of a point guard, runs the team very unselfishly, and so more of a floor general. So I think having both of those players provide depth with the kids that we already have in our back court, guys such as Chasson Randle and Aaron Bright, so we're excited to have them join us.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Can you sense what it means for the program to have you coming back? And also we have seen Andrew Luck come back to school and several other examples at Stanford. And could you also touch on that, Johnny, what it means?
POWELL: For me it feels great to feel my class welcome me back. Coming in with them we had a lot of goals of things we wanted to achieve and we needed to achieve to deem our career as collegiate athletes successful. And not all of those things have been accomplished yet. So coming back, personally, for me, it was extremely important. And it's nice to hear from them that it was important for them too, so it feels good.
DAWKINS: For us, of course we're really pleased that he came back. Not because of the basketball aspect of it, because we're happy he came back because he valued his education and getting his degree, so very fortunate that he made that decision. And on the basketball front, he's had an exceptional career, especially last year, made a big jump. And I think that there's a lot of room for growth this season for him. As he mentioned before, there's unfinished business. So that says a lot about who he is, that he stayed for a commitment to get his degree and he stayed for a commitment to help his team take care of some unfinished business.
- - - - - - - - - - -
You mentioned returning a lot of players and talent to this team, yet last year you finished 9-9. What might you see different this year, if anything?
DAWKINS: Well, we definitely have a new way of playing and a new way of also thinking. And that's been something that we -- that's been our approach from the preseason up until now. So, for us, I think the things you'll see differently is we didn't close very well last year. We had five games I believe or so that we finished losing by five or less points. So even though our record was 9-9 in conference, we felt we were very close. And in some cases we just unfortunately -- it didn't work out our way, but we're not going to dwell on that. We're going to put in our system, which we already have done. And we're excited about now our new way of thinking, which is what Dwight said earlier, about the Navy SEALs training and our approach there.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Couple other coaches have mentioned conditioning as being a big factor for their team. Is that something that you as a coach in a guard-heavy league have to really be mindful of, and is that an approach you take with your own team?
DAWKINS: Of course, we really believe in being well conditioned as well. You have to be. You're talking about trying to squeeze out every bit of the highest level of conditioning a player can have out there to compete at this level. So we're always concerned about that. But in doing so we don't want to overwork our players to a point where they break down or overwork our players to the point where they're sluggish on the floor. So you have to find that balance. I think the only way you can do that is look at your personnel and realize that it's different from someone else's and make the adjustments necessary.
- - - - - - - - - - -
There are plenty of videos of you doing trick shots from all over Maples. Which one are you most proud of?
POWELL: I would have to say the shot I'm most proud of was from the upper deck, alley-oop to myself from myself. I think that would be my favorite.
- - - - - - - - - - -
You obviously have a lot of really experienced players coming back. Could you talk about maybe a younger guy who is ready to step up, maybe make a Dwight-like jump this year?
DAWKINS: Well, the player that I think is ready to make a jump is a player that didn't play for us a the all last season, Anthony Brown. He's now a redshirt junior. Struggled with some problems. Of course he's had two surgeries, but he's fully healthy now and he's ready to go. I think he's a young man that you will see really come in and contribute and probably will make the biggest jump of all the players that I can think of.
- - - - - - - - - - -
A lot of experience that you return from last year, and at least media-wise a lot of people thought last year's roster was good enough to make a tournament run. This year with the amount of talent that you have coming back, is there any sense that you need to make the NCAA Tournament this year for this year to be considered a success?
DAWKINS: Absolutely. I think for this year to be a success for our group we should make the tournament. We have the experience, and our kids have been through a lot. I think part of that adversity is what helps you. It's what you do with it. So our guys realize that this is a special year. We have five seniors, and so we'd like to see these guys leave their legacy. And so that would be a fair statement. I think that it's an attainable goal. We have to go out and approach it every day, though, where we get better and not get consumed by it. But if we get better every game, every practice, then I think it's a realistic goal that we can be a team that can make the tournament.

Stanford (19-15, 9-9 Pac-12) advanced to the postseason for the second straight year in 2013, reaching the second round of the NIT after winning the event two years ago. Stanford finished non-conference play at 10-5, including wins over Northern Iowa and Northwestern. In Pac-12 action, Stanford swept the season series against California for the first time since 2008 and upset No. 10/12 Oregon 76-52 at Maples Pavilion.

Hardwood Flooring Expert Justin Crimmins on Oil- versus Water-Based Finish
From Renee Rutledge on April 24, 2008 in Flooring
Justin Crimmins knows his hardwood flooring. Founder of Crimmins Hardwood Flooring, which opened in October of 2003, he services residential clients, as well as high profile clients such as Harvard University, Bagel Works, Home Depot, and GAP. One reason for the company's success is that Crimmins and his crew don't shy away from perfection. "We strongly believe, and it has been proven true, that one job completed to perfection always gets you a second job through referral," Crimmins explains.
One critical step toward perfect hardwood floors is finish. I recently interviewed Crimmins on this important step, to help homeowners determine which type of finish to choose. Here, Crimmins talks about factors such as pricing, drying and accuracy of the two primary finishing options.
What are the pros and cons of both water- and oil-based finishes?
Water-based dries very quickly, which is convenient for customers. Oil-based dries very slowly, which can make a job take longer to complete. Sometimes oil can cost you an entire extra day due to dry time.
Water has virtually no odor; oil smells very strongly. One small room coated with oil can stink up an entire house.
Over time, oil begins to turn wood an orange-type color, we call that ambering. Some people like that, many do not. I personally do not like wood to amber. Water does not amber wood. Water is a great deal more expensive than oil, which does end up going into the price for the customer.
I use only the best finish available and here is the rough breakdown on prices to give you an idea. I pay around $35 a gallon for the oil-based I use; I pay around $100 a gallon for the water-based I use. So to give you an example, I just sent a proposal out before beginning this email. Water is a little more difficult to work with so that affects the price a little bit.
The job is 1,300 sq. ft. I bid it for oil at $2.00 a sq. ft. I bid it for water at $2.50 a sq. ft., which is a $650 difference. I could go on all day, but these are the things that matter and that I explain to people.
Which finish do you prefer and why? Does this differ, depending on the project?
I prefer water for my own home simply for that natural look that I explained. I prefer to use oil because it is a lot more error free. Water can dry poorly at times due to the humidity and heat in the weather. It is also faster to coat with, so that obviously is better for me (lol).
If the floor is getting stained, it is almost guaranteed that I have to use oil as stain is 95% of the time oil based.
Which finish do homeowners tend to request?
Most homeowners don't even know that water exists until I tell them. Most do want the water after I explain it to them if they have it in their budget.

A family dog is recovering after being shot by a member of the Hammond Indiana police department. Norma Maldonada told her story on the Fox Chicago Facebook page June 9.
The incident occurred the afternoon of June 9 at Norma's Jackson home when police were responding to a loose pit bull complaint call at a yard that wasn't fenced in.
Norma uses an electric fence to contain Lilly. Norma says she has a sign and flags in her front yard warning up to what point Lilly can reach, which is the middle of the yard.
Lilly, a pit bull was on the side of Norma's home with her two sons, ages 7 and 11. Norma's daughter, who is 16 and her youngest boy, less than a year old, were standing behind the daughter when Hammond, Indiana police arrived.
According to Norma, the police officer jumped out of his vehicle and shot Lilly in the face. Her children, as well as the neighbors witnessed the shooting.
Lilly is undergoing surgery for her injury. Norma is enraged, to say the least. Not only because Lilly was shot, but because two young children, a teen and a toddler saw it all.
What would have happened if one of them had been struck by a bullet?
On her Facebook page, Norma posted
"She never attacked him, she was following my son and stepson trying to eat there hotdog and the piece of s**t rolled up, didn't say a word, and shot her in front of the kids. My daughter and baby were standing 15 feet directly behind her! Any of them could of been hit. I'm devastated."
The children are traumatized, and Norma said she had a difficult time getting them to sleep last night.
"Smh... I'm in shock can't believe this actually is happening!"
It's unfortunate Norma had to learn the hard way of the epidemic of police shooting family dogs. This dog was shot on her own property, with signs clearly marking she was in an electrified fence.
The truth is, police shoot dogs on a daily basis. According to Puppycide Kickstarter, a dog is shot by police every 98 minutes. They're shot in their own home, in their own yard, fenced-in, retreating or for wagging a tail in greeting.
The following report tells the Hammond Police Department version of the shooting.
Hammond Canine Incident of 6-9-2014
"At 3:11 PM yesterday, the HPD received a complaint of a loose pitbull at the location of 6533 Jackson, a home with no fenced front yard. The responding officer arrived at the scene and observed a sign on the property marked "invisible fence". The officer also observed the front door to the property wide open with loud music coming from the backyard.
The responding officer noticed people in the backyard of said address and he summoned them to come to the front yard. After summoning the family to the front yard, the officer reported that an American Bulldog sprinted from the back of the house to the front yard and charged at the HPD officer. The officer retreated around 20' in the hopes that the invisible fence would keep the dog in the front yard, it did not affect the dog whatsoever.
The dog lunged at the HPD officer in attack mode. The officer acted appropriately in that situation and discharged his weapon at the attacking animal. The Bulldog was hit with a single shot in the muzzle. The officer escaped the attack unharmed."
For those of you who don't remember, this is the same police department critisized last month for holding a K-9 officer off the ground and beating his partner with a leash. That act went unpunished, and was reported here.
Please keep Lilly, Norma and her traumatized family and neighbors in your thoughts.
Norma, be sure to take plenty of photos of Lilly, your property, and the children who witnessed the shooting.
Note: The photo was too graphic to be shown in it's original condition. Most of the injury had to be mosiaced out for Examiner readers.
