Mike's Hard Lemonade is celebrating its 15-year anniversary this year so there is no better time than now to get a delicious taste of summer.
We love adding them to our picnic basket for a refreshing way to cool down quickly. The alcoholic beverage was created in Boston in 1999. Since then, 15 years have passed along with 190 million cases being sold.
What started out with just one flavor (traditional lemonade) has also expanded into 14 different flavors, including hard black cherry, pink lemonade, strawberry margarita and even a lite version that still contains 5% ABV.

The future is coming…to your mouth. Oral B has brought the toothbrush to a new digital frontier. With their SmartSeries connected toothbrush, Oral B wants to connect your brush to your smartphone and help track your dental habits so that you and your dentist can be more informed. The new brush, which works via Bluetooth 4.0, comes with its own app to help you brush more effectively. It records and charts all your brushing routines and helps customize brushing to your individual needs.
App Works On Android and iPhone
The free Oral B app works on both iPhone and Android platforms. It wirelessly tracks every move the brush makes and records the stats associated with your brushing habits. This can then be used by you and your dentist to track your progress and even offers immediate advice from the app on how to brush better and more effectively.
Brush Premiered at Mobile World Congress
The connected toothbrush, which was premiered at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain in late February, was touted by Oral B as just a small piece of the coming "smart bathroom". It follows closely in the wake of such successful life tracking devices like the FitBit or Nike's FuelBand. Oral B hopes that the public's increasing demand for connected devices works just as well with our pearly whites as with our running shoes.
Dentists See The Usability
"The connected toothbrush is an exciting possibility as it really opens up a great way to help patients stay true to their dental hygiene regimen," offers the dentist at Tendercare Dental, a NW Portland, Oregon dentist office. "By using the data from this app, we could individualize and customize our treatment and make sure that our patients' teeth receive the best care possible."
Highly Customizable
The SmartSeries will only be sold in Germany for the next few months and will be launched to the rest of the globe starting in June. It will be priced at around $220 when it hits the US shelves, and the new models have lots of customizable options. These include things like custom patterns, brush head speeds, and a way for dentists to be able to program specialized routines. The connected brush can remember 20 sessions of brushing and sync up to the smartphone when it is nearby through Bluetooth technology, which is commonly used for hands-free and printing connectivity.
"Dentists always tell us: 'People do a great job in the week before they come to visit us and in the week after they visit us. But nothing can hide the fact that when we look inside the mouth we can see all the areas they miss,'" related Michael Cohen-Dumani, the global associate director for Oral-B, who was quoted by Reuters. Oral B hopes the connectedness of the brush and app will involve people more their own teeth cleaning process.
The Oral B brush comes on the heels of Kolibree, small startup, who debuted their version of the connected smartbrush at CES this past January. Kolibree is using Kickstarter to get it's funding off the ground, whereas Proctor & Gamble, who own Oral B, have a little bit more capital to launch their version of this connected cavity cleaner.

One of my brothers, Chris, is in town for a visit and we were talking about housing during dinner. He is saving up some cash because he is planning to buy a house in a year or two. He said a house is a good investment, but it's just too expensive in the Bay Area. Currently he is renting a room in a friend's home and he is thinking about moving to a more affordable location like Austin, TX.
Personally, I don't think a primary residence is really a good investment. If you're single, it's probably better to rent and put your extra money into the stock market. When you have a house, your monthly expense can increase quite a bit. A bigger home will mean higher utility costs. You'll have a property tax bill, homeowner's insurance, yard work, repairs and maintenance expenses. It can also be quite expensive to furnish a house, too.
In my opinion, a primary residence should be a place to live and if you get lucky with the market appreciation, then that's just gravy. There are many ways for regular people to invest in real estate, so let's share them with Chris today.
Buy a fixer upper
One way to make money with your primary residence is to buy a fixer upper. You need to search in a good location for a house that needs work. Then put in a lot of sweat equity to bring it up to the neighborhood standard. After a year or two of working on the home every weekend, then the place would be ready to sell for a tidy tax-free profit*.
*note* You can profit up to $250,000 and don't have to pay any capital gain tax if you're single, $500,000 if you're married. You also need to live there for at least 2 years to qualify for the tax exemption.
This works best if you're single. I know this wouldn't work for us because Mrs. RB40 doesn't want to live in a rehab house for long. Once we fixed it up, then she'd refuse to move.
Rent out some space
Renting out a spare room is a great way to generate a little extra income. In expensive areas like Northern California, there are always people looking for a more affordable option. If Chris buys a 3 bedroom house and rents out 2 rooms, then he'd have a lot of help paying the monthly housing expense.
When we lived in our old house, we occasionally rented out a room to engineers and it worked out quite well. Just pick a workaholic tenant and you will rarely see him/her at home. Buying a multiplex and living in one unit sounds like a good plan, too. You get some tax benefits from occupying the property, but it can be hard to live with other families.
Rent out your old home
Another way to start making rental income is to rent out your old home when you move. This is a good option if you can afford the down payment for the next home without having to sell your previous one. This is what we did when we moved to our current condo. We refinanced the old house to a lower payment and were able to generate a little cash flow. Now that the market has recovered, I'm going to put it up for sale and take some profit. I need a long break from being a landlord.
Real Estate Investment Trust
REIT is a company that owns and operates income producing real estate. You can buy and sell shares of REIT through a brokerage, like stocks. REITs allow regular people to invest in commercial real estate without having to deal with the day to day operation of running the place.
We have some Vanguard Real Estate ETF and that's a good way to get started in REIT. It's a good diversification from stock and bonds. Generally, you want a little slice of Real Estate, Gold, Energy, and commodities to help balance out your portfolio. Here is our current asset allocation.
You can check your current asset allocation easily with Personal Capital. They also have tools to help you figure out your target asset allocation and cash flow. Check them out if you haven't yet.
Sign up with Personal Capital for free through this link.
Crowdfunding real estate is the hot new way to invest in real estate. You can pool your money with like minded investors and invest in various projects like a B&B rehab, a mobile park, and a strip mall. Realty Mogul (realtymogul.com) started about a year ago and members already invested $14.6 million.
This is quite an interesting concept, but I don't know if I'm ready to jump in. You have to do your own homework and it seems like there can be a lot of risk with these projects. The total return of 12-18% sounds really tempting, though. This projection includes appreciation. The cash on cash return seems to be in the 6-10% range.
Currently, only accredited investors can invest with Realty Mogul, but they hope to eventually bring it regular investors too. If your net worth is over $1 million or your income is over $200,000 for the last two years, then you are an accredited investor. The minimum investment is $5,000 per project.
Real Estate Investing
Investing in real estate has never been easier and buying a primary home is probably the least profitable way to invest in real estate. I think we'll stick with REITs for now and keep an eye on crowdfunding. Once that opens up to regular investors, I'm sure there will be a lot more money flowing in.
Do you have any investment in real estate? The real estate market is hot again and everyone is jumping on the band wagon. What's your play?

A UIC Connection in Chicago's Top Athlete Election
Nov. 2, 2012
CHICAGO - The 2012 election season will decide more than just the President of the United States, it will also proclaim Chicago's top male and female athletes sponsored by Chicago Athlete Magazine and Clif Bar. Included in this year's field of decorated candidates are three extraordinary women - all with ties to UIC. Jennifer (Goebel) Goldstein and Kristen Heckert are former Flames' student-athletes and Karrie Hamstra-Wright is a professor in the school's Kinesiology and Nutrition department.
Instead of pounding the campaign trail for undecided votes, the trio of talented marathoners spend their free time on running trails, participating in an activity that has helped shape their lives. They have all recently posted personal-best times in the grueling 26.2-mile race and appear to be at the top of their game.
Interestingly enough, none of the runners have ever crossed paths, despite of the UIC link. Flames head cross country and track and field coach Jim Knoedel knows all three women and easily pinpoints their uniting characteristics.
"It's the passion they have for running," said Knoedel. "It's not something they do casually on the sideline, but something they go after very aggressively and what you see is the result. They are all certainly talented, but talent without hard work will get you nowhere and that's the trait they share is hard work."
"I want to take it as far as I can," said Heckert. "My goal is to be the best runner I can be and enjoy it along the way."
Heckert currently teaches math at Plainfield South High School and serves as the assistant boys cross country and track and field coach. Like most elite long-distance runners, she struggles to find that healthy balance between training, work and her personal life. She expressed a sense of vindication in her nomination for Chicago's Top Female Athlete.
"It's nice to be recognized for doing something that you sacrifice so much for," said Heckert. "I don't seem as crazy when other people appreciate what I do."
Heckert graduated from UIC in the spring of 2010 and competed three seasons for Flames cross country and track and field teams.
"I loved being a student-athlete at UIC," said Heckert. "Running helped me stay focused and my major prepared me for my current job."
Perhaps UIC also prepared her for a shot at the 2016 USA Olympic Trials.
The second candidate, (Karrie) Hamstra-Wright, currently serves as the Clinical Assistant Professor of UIC Kinesiology. She recently recorded a career-best time of 2:57.58 at the 2012 Kenosha Marathon, placing first among all female participants. Hamstra-Wright is in a unique position to utilize the knowledge of colleagues in her own department.
"It's nice to have access to exercise physiologists and sports psychologists and ask them for tips," said Hamstra-Wright.
The Lansing, Ill., native was a multi-sport athlete at Olivet Nazarene University and dabbled in road racing while she was earning her Master's degree at UIC. In 2001, she ran her first marathon just looking to finish, but ended up qualifying for the historic Boston race.
"I didn't even know what that meant because I was so new to the sport," said Hamstra-Wright.
Even with early success, she considers 2009 her introduction into competitive running after overcoming a series of health issues and injuries that plagued her for several years.
"I just wasn't taking care of myself," said Hamstra-Wright. "But I finally got my act together and I feel like God gave me running back, so I have a new passion and love for it. Through all of that, it's a lot deeper than just a race."
Looking deep is something that Hamstra-Wright does on a daily basis in her new collaboration with Flames Athletics. The professor has specifically focused on runners and their body mechanics using a 3D motion capturing system and then tracks their injuries throughout the season. Coaches and athletes are given a full report at season's end indicating imbalances in their running form and tips on how to prevent injury.
"The partnership with athletics has been really important and has a lot of potential moving forward," said Hamstra-Wright.
Entering her ninth year overall at UIC, Hamstra-Wright primarily works with undergraduate students and some involvement at the graduate level.
"I love our students," said Hamstra-Wright. "Sometimes I feel like I have 600 kids. They all want to be here and understand the importance of health care."
(Jennifer) Goldstein, the final UIC candidate for Chicago's Female Athlete of the Year, is also involved in health care as a sports massage therapist. She's been in the industry for seven years and enjoys working with other athletes.
The Lombard, Ill., native is one of UIC's most successful athletes over the last decade and in 2009 was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame. She still holds the track program's outdoor records in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters with times of 17:27.70 and 35:57.18, respectively.
"UIC was the right place to be," said Goldstein. "It's where I needed to be. Running has had a great impact on my life and it kept me healthy and centered."
Impact may be a slight understatement given the story behind how Goldstein met her husband Adam. She had flown to Arizona to watch some friends run a race, and when boarding the flight to come home there was a woman sitting in her assigned seat. The flight attended quickly found her an open seat and plopped Goldstein right next to her future hubby, who actually ran the race she spectated. The two struck up a conversation, and the rest is history.
"It was pretty awesome because we almost didn't go on that trip," said Goldstein. "We had each decided to go just a few days beforehand."
Adam stuck with the running theme and proposed to Goldstein after they completed the 2011 Chicago Marathon. At the 2012 edition of the Windy City race, Goldstein ran a lifetime best of 2:51.00, placing 21st among all women runners.
Racing has taken Goldstein to 31 different states with the ultimate goal of reaching the 50 mark someday.
"I plan on running in Mississippi, Oregon and Wyoming next," said Goldstein. "And I'm actually going to do the Lake Tahoe IronMan next September."
Three women. Three amazing stories. All with a UIC connection and a legitimate case for Chicago's Top Female Athlete.
Voting has already begun on www.mychicagoathlete.com and will run through Jan. 7. The winner will be announced and featured in the March edition of Chicago Athlete Magazine.
So when you're headed into the ballot box this election season, Flames fans will have the unique luxury of three candidates instead of two.

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try e ating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at wor k leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar le vels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in The New En gland Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!
I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !

what kind of banana do you usually eat? have you eaten all kinds of it, what about the red banana that our local tarzan eats to make him strong. have you tried that? i have seen some when we went to the province, but i already forgot how it tasted. it's been a long time.
I ate so much bananas in my life already but i never knew theses things about them. Thanks for the article, i doubt i would know about that by not reading this.

señorita, lakatan, and tundan are varieties of bananas. Each of them have different nutritional components so their effect in the body is different. They also have different taste. So we are talking about other varieties of bananas, we're sorry for departing from the topic.

Although the Herrmann Collection deals exclusively with human memory, early onomasiological dictionaries found in the Cordell Collection as well as early primers and similar works in the Floyd Family and Walker collections are examples of aids to memory. The Cunningham Collection contains works that are pertinent to the other education collections, which are known collectively as "Classics in American Education." The Indiana, Kirk, and Indiana Writers Project/Program collections all focus on aspects of life in Indiana, which is also reflected in the focus on Indiana found in the Floyd Family Collection of textbooks. Even the Debs Collection, which focuses broadly on dissidence, contains many items pertinent to Eugene V. Debs and his life in Terre Haute, Indiana. The Faculty Collection reflects on the published research of Indiana State University employees, connecting in this way with other collections with an Indiana theme. The Walker Collection shares the interest in early American textbooks, but does not restrict itself to Indiana. The three "Classics in American Education" collections contain spelling and lexicological materials, reinforcing the holdings of the Cordell Collection of Dictionaries. The broadest collection is the Rare Books Collection, but pockets of books and other minor collections found within it reflect the interest found in the Cunningham Collection of the books of early childhood, but in this case books published in other countries. As well, the Rare Books Collection contains a particularly strong assortment of offerings from eighteenth century British authors, many of whom dabbled in lexicography, the main purpose of the Cordell Collection.
Awareness of such connections among the collections requires a tremendous breadth of knowledge of the contents of the 12 named subject collections. Developing ways to access related information in the various collections sometimes requires unconventional methodologies, yet providing this kind of access continues to be among the most rewarding challenges in working with the material. Finally, some of the search aids used by the department were instigated by user-submitted requests or suggestions. We appreciate the interest of the public in our collections and welcome both inquiries and suggestions.

Although it's been way too long since our last cruise on the Paul Gauguin the memories of the ship as we sailed through the Tahitian islands is etched in our mind forever. Seeing this archipelago by ship is the only way to go with the scenery of verdant jungles, atolls and blue lagoons passing you by—which is why whenever we get the opportunity we hop a ship and make the voyage (and have done so to date about a dozen times).
If you've ever wanted to explore French Polynesia consider that going by ship eliminates having to pack and unpack your bags and head to airports to hop small planes to and from each island. Once you're on the ship, you unpack once and let the captain steer you into ports where you can walk off and head to the beach, restaurant or on various cruise operated excursions.
And right now Paul Gauguin Cruises is tempting us back with a special fifth birthday celebration sale that includes savings of $600 to $3,400 per person off brochure fares on the m/s Paul Gauguin and m/v Tere Moana.
While we haven't yet samples the Moana we can vouch for the merits of the Paul Gauguin which offers some of the best cuisine afloat, top service and smooth sailing.
Details of the sale, which includes roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles, include;
Climb aboard these Paul Gauguin voyages for fares from $4,295 per person :
- Tahiti & the Society Islands
- 7-night voyage: November 15, 2014
- Now from only $4,145 per person

The Jam rode to early popularity on the first wave of British punk. Yet the group, led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Paul Weller, consciously distanced itself from its safety-pinned compatriots and unashamedly looked back to the Sixties for inspiration from the Who, 2012 Hall of Fame Inductees the Small Faces and vintage American soul music. At a time when notions of youth rebellion were much in vogue, "In The City" stands out as a desperate plea for understanding between the generations: In the city, there's a thousand things I want to say to you/But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool/I wanna say, I wanna tell you/About the young ideas/But you turn them into fears. The song was the title track of the group's 1977 debut, a landmark punk recording that showcased the group's bravado and musicianship. Weller's gift for hooks, insightful lyrics, slashing Rickenbacker guitar riffs and the equally urgent playing of bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler propelled "In The City" to Number 40 in May 1977 and ignited the group's hot streak of 18 consecutive UK Top 40 hits.
Today, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announces its inductees for 2012, and the inductees are:
"We are pleased to announce this year's Hall of Fame inductees, who represent the broad spectrum of artists that define rock and roll," says Joel Peresman, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. "We are also thrilled this year to again be partnered with HBO, who presented the Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary Concerts."
The 27th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place on Saturday, April 14, 2012 in Cleveland and premiere on HBO in early May. The 2012 ceremony will again be open to the public, as it was – for the first time in the event's history – at the 2009 Inductions in Cleveland.
"Our previous collaboration with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a landmark television event," says Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. "We are delighted to ...

College Hockey:Badgers Best Bulldogs
Defenseman McBain Continues to Shine for Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin assistant captain Jamie McBain insists that he doesn't thoroughly study the statistics.
Leading the Badgers and the nation's defensemen in scoring with 28 points in 26 games played, McBain was uninformed that only three Wisconsin defenseman have led the team in scoring since joining the WCHA in 1969 and none since 1991.
McBain was also unaware until recently that Wisconsin has never had a Hobey Baker winner, an award that debuted in 1981.
"When I was told that, I was really shocked," McBain admitted. "It's pretty shocking because there have been a lot of good players that have come through here."
If he continues on his torrent pace, the junior has a good chance to be written into Badger history.
Entering the weekend leading the WCHA with 18 power-play points and 18 assists in conference game, McBain added to both of those tallies Friday, registering two assists on two keys goals to help No.15 Wisconsin earn an important victory over No.16 Minnesota-Duluth, besting the Bulldogs, 3-1.
"I have more confidence this year and things seem to be going my way," McBain said. "My confidence with the puck has definitely grown from last year and guys are doing a great job in front of the net. I am just throwing things out there and guys are scoring goals."
That statement by McBain was at the theme for Wisconsin (14-10-3, 11-6-2 WCHA), as the Badgers' first two goals were a direct result of solid, confident passing.
After UMD's Jack Connolly scored his seventh goal of the year off a rebound by UW goalie Shane Connelly, Wisconsin struck back quickly after UMD's Scott Kishel was sent to the box for hooking at 12:21.
After center Derek Stepan won the ensuing face off and got the puck to McBain, the defenseman spotted forward Michael Davies sitting wide open inside the right face-off circle. McBain threaded the opening and Davies was able to sneak the puck off the left pad of goalie Alex Stalock to tie the score at 12:30.
"Jamie is a pro-typical quarterback in the game of hockey," UW coach Mike Eaves said. "He had the combination of being able to see the ice very well, see what's there and take advantage of that because of his skill."
McBain, who trails Minnesota's Ryan Stoa and Duluth's Justin Fontaine by one in the conference point race, had a little luck on his side with his second assist, as he had a great seat on the bench for Sean Dolan's game-winner midway through the second period.
With McBain passing the puck off to forward John Mitchell, McBain headed for the bench while watching Mitchell try to go clockwise around the net for a wrap-around until was met with heavy resistance by the UMD defense. With Mitchell losing control of the puck and wiping out the defenseman and Stalock, the puck slid across his crease to Dolan, who was able to slide his stick in and tap the puck into the net to double the Badger lead.
"I just planted myself out on the side of the net," Dolan said. "He brought it to the house and I just got my stick on it."
From that point on, Wisconsin's defense, led by McBain, took control.
Duluth never got any momentum heading its way in the third period, as Duluth attempted only four shots, all of which were gobbled up by Connelly (20 saves). Playing with the lead, the Badgers took zero third-period penalties and gave the league's leading power-play unit only three opportunities to score, all of which were snuffed out.
Just for good measure, senior Tom Gorowsky added an empty-net tally with five seconds left on the clock, capping off what some fans called a 'boring' final period.
"If they say that was boring, then we're doing the right things," Eaves said. "I really thought we showed our growth and maturity as a team the way we played in the third period."
Other than Stalock stopping 28 shots, including denying two breakaways and disrupting two more with poke-checks, for Duluth (13-8-6, 7-7-5 WCHA), there were many positives for Scott Sandelin's crew, as the head coach got no fire from his team, which fell to 1-6-2 on the road this season.
"There wasn't much of anything going on in the whole frickin game," Sandelin said. "We need a better effort than that. They got the power-play goal and they won the special teams game. We didn't execute all that well (and) just didn't play very well."
Hearing those words from Sandelin all the more re-enforces the important of tomorrow night for both teams in terms of the standings and the PairWise Rankings.
"We have to be sure that we don't take anything for granted and don't take them lightly," McBain said. "Every game is a playoff game. You look how close it is, every team brings out best every night."

It's Time to Play 'Whose Secret Service Nickname Is That?'
Can you match the nickname with the VIP?
Last week, for reasons that remain somewhat unclear, presidential candidate Herman Cain began receiving protection from the Secret Service. In addition to being constantly surrounded by people willing to take a bullet for you, this comes with another nice little perk: an awesome nickname. The Secret Service likes to use nicknames to refer to the VIPs they watch over, if only to make risking their lives on a daily basis incrementally more fun. (Cain's nickname is not yet known, although he wrote in his book that he'd pick "Cornbread" if it were up to him.) Sometimes, the nicknames seem to have a logic to them. Other times, they seem completely random. See if you can match the following ten Secret Service nicknames with the person they were/are used for. (Warning: Don't do too well or the Secret Service may pay you a visit.)

Don't expect Kurt Busch to be sending Brad Keselowski a Christmas card this year. The NASCAR Sprint Cup champions both memorable races during the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway Sunday. Busch has happy memories after winning his first Sprint Cup race since 2011 and since joining Stewart-Haas Racing.
Keselowski however had a race he will probably want to forget.
The trouble started during the second caution period on lap 40. In the pits as he was leaving his stall, Keselowski was forced to move out towards the outside wall to avoid the Chevy of Kasey Kahne who was coming into a pit stall in front of him. As Keselowski moved out though, he collided with the Chevy of Busch who was making his way back to the track. The ensuing damage on his Ford forced Keselowski into the garage. He would return 31 laps down. As his crew made repairs, Keselowski gave his view of the incident.
"I started to check up and I just barely got in the back of him," Keselowski said. "Kurt (Busch) just accelerated and drove through us, absolutely drove through us. I tell you what, I'm about tired of his recklessness. Kurt tore the whole suspension off the car, so it won't turn, it won't do anything."
"Thanks Kurt, appreciate it buddy," he added sarcastically.
After returning to the track with his Ford missing the front sheet metal, Keselowski sought out Busch and the two cars made contact on several occasions.
"Guess we get to get in a fight afterwards," an angry Busch said on his radio. "Because I'm going to go f*** that dude's f***ing face up!"
The two eventually moved away from each other and settled in. Despite telling his crew that they we're "done for the day" Busch went on to win. Keselowski was scored 38th.
After the race, a celebratory Busch didn't want to talk about the incident.
"We won," Busch said when asked about the incident. "We're not worried about any of that nonsense right now. We are a winner. We're not guaranteed in the Chase but we have a win and we're moving forward. Thanks a lot to everyone on this team. I can't thank them enough."
Keselowski however was more than willing to talk about the incident post race when asked.
"The replay shows it," Keselowski said. "We jumbled up on pit road and he just drove right through me and ruined our day. We probably had a race-winning car and it doesn't matter. That's the way it goes."
Keselowski added that he would not soon forget what had happened.
"I'll remember that when it's lap 50 and he needs a break and he'll find his ass turned around in the wall just like he tore my car up," he said. "That stuff will come around. Once or twice when it happens you go, 'Oh, it happens,' but when it happens repeatedly then you just realize who the person is that's at fault and you just have to make sure that you show them you're not gonna take that, and I'm not gonna take that. I know this 2 team is not gonna take it. We had a race-winning car today, instead we finished thirty-whatever with the whole front end tore off of it. That's inexcusable and I'm not gonna put up with that."
The Penske Racing driver was once a teammate to Busch, and said he has always had a certain measure of respect for him.
"I still do," Keselowski said. "He does awesome things for charity and he's probably the most talented race car driver, but he's also one of the dumbest, so put those three together."
However even after the race, Keselowski was still angry enough that he wanted to confront Busch.
"Tell him come here. I'm right here," Keselowski said. "He knows where I'm at. Leave victory lane and we'll go."
Late in the day Sunday, Busch was again asked about the incident and gave his take on it. Busch also hinted that the future for him and his former teammate might be different moving forward.
"Brad drove into the No. 5 car on pit road and I was just going around a wrecked car and then he turned into our door," Busch said. "You know accidents happen on pit road and then he drug it out on the race track wanting to start some nonsense. There is no need for that. Brad and I we have always been good before, but it's battle time now."

Joseph Hart
|Hart's Studio
Brooklyn, NY 2010
Born (1976) in New Hampshire, Joseph Hart lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. In 1999, he received a BFA
from the Rhode Island School of Design. His work was recently included in the New Talents section at Art
Cologne. He has also been the recipient of The Saltonstall Foundation Residency Fellowship. Hart's
mixed media works on paper have been exhibited at The Bronx Museum of the Arts, the Santa Monica
Museum of Art, International Print Center New York, as well as at Galerie Vidal Saint-Phalle, in Paris,
Klaus Von Nichtssangend Gallery, Sue Scott Gallery, CRG Gallery, Alexander & Bonin and David Krut
Projects in New York, among others.
I was once an athlete. I wasn't the best player on my teams, though I accrued a substantial collection of
sports trophies. These trophies featured plastic figurative statuettes, painted metallic gold, and were
appropriately depicted kicking, throwing or shooting a ball. The figures were rigid and lifeless and the
limbs would sometimes snap off but I would carefully glue the fragments back together. The statuettes
were positioned atop a lacquered wood pedestal and anchored by a marble base. Phrases like
"CHAMPION" and "FIRST PLACE" were often etched into the marble, encouraging my ego. These
trophies were miniature monuments to my achievements, and they made me feel powerful and
virtuous and good at something. They were an archive of events. I would carefully compose my trophy
collection on my bookshelf, making sure that the most impressive trophy had pride of place. They were
sculptures. They were decorations. They were desperate objects. These trophies were cheap, hollow,
and gathered dust.
Some people collect objects, or souvenirs, as fun, or as a way to remember and preserve their
experiences and history. Seashells, baseball cards, coins, records, tchotchkes and works of art are
popular items to collect. Sometimes collecting and displaying becomes a serious hobby, a fetish, a
business, an institution, or it somehow fulfills psychological emptiness and boredom. We even
occasionally project our hopes and dreams onto our collections. Displayed objects can structure our
value systems and hierarchies.
In my current practice, I utilize visits to museums along with reproductions from art history books as
platforms for examining the politics and economics of display, and how value can be suggested
through different modes of presentation. Fixtures such as vitrines, shelves, frames, and plinths are
reoccurring images in my work, providing formal architecture while also serving as symbols of
significance. Perhaps neurotically re-arranging my trophy display when I was younger first introduced
me to these ideas.
I work on paper, incorporating a variety of approaches and materials including painting, drawing, and
cut paper-collage. I intend to create small moments that are alternatively calm and chaotic, hard and
soft, that push and pull, and create other forms of tension that lead to awkward yet resolved
compositions. Manipulating images, layering color and marks, folding, cutting, editing, destroying and
building back up the image play essential roles in my studio practice. Though I make two-dimensional
work, I'm influenced by three dimensional sculpture, density and space. My treatment is very controlled
at times, and loose during others, creating a diverse set of marks and gestures that might suggest the
shape of a tool or weapon, a vessel, artifact, a floral still-life, the contour of a figure, or the sum of these
objects unraveling into delicate abstraction.

I just took a look at my event log and saw eventid 9688 warning me that the database is 47gb out of 50gb big.
Right below it is a eventid 1221 telling me that I have around 6gb free after the online defrag early this morning.
Now I'm worried that I don't know what's going on with free space. Is it 3gb or 6gb? I also read that eventid 9688 is pretty serious because if it hits 50gb the exchange IS will shutdown and dismount the store. I'm considering bumping it up to the 75gb max, but am not sure whats going on with free space. In the meantime I'm having some of my users doing archives and deleting old users. Any ideas?
Exchange 2003 SP2 is it matters. Thanks.

Hit and Run Loophole Bill passes Legislature
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
The Hit and Run Loophole that Bicycle Colorado was pushing during their Bicycle Summit passed.
From Bicycle Colorado
HB 1084, the "End Hit and Run Loophole" bill, passed the Colorado Senate on Monday, May 7, with an overwhelming 34-1 vote. This campaign began with skeptics saying this bill would be difficult to pass. The bill received a big boost during the Colorado Bicycle Summit as attendees met with their legislators and expressed the importance of laws upholding stopping at the scene of an injury crash. Now both the House and Senate have approved the bill and it heads to the Governor's desk. Thanks to the bill's four prime sponsors and to everyone who called or emailed in support of the bill!

Months down the road in our fragile reconciliation, X and I realized that one of the main reasons we'd felt compelled to come together postdivorce was that we couldn't move forward in any direction until we mourned the babies we'd lost through miscarriage. X suggested we plant a memorial garden in my backyard. Rather than daisies or other flowers commonly associated with infants, I chose irises. Those complicated inside-out blooms seemed more appropriate to our situation. Though X and I continued to get along so well that we sometimes joked about marrying each other again, we both knew we couldn't go backward. Every few weekends, we visited in his town or mine. I grieved with him, I grieved alone. Trying to figure out if I should or could or should not become a single mother, I talked to doctors about new regimens of fertility drugs and other medical options, but none felt right for me. And then one autumn Sunday morning over long-distance phone, I admitted to X that I was making lists of all the opportunities that would be available to me if I lived out my days as a childless person: I could travel, buy cashmere, live in Paris. "But I can't do it," I cried. "I can't give up the idea of being a mother."
"But you shouldn't give it up," X said. "You already are a mother. You just have to figure out how to make it happen."
Even after so many failures, X still believed I had a chance. And if I was, as he said, already a mother, didn't that qualify me to step in and sweep my arms around an already-born baby who needed a mother? Already. All ready. With those words, the seed of the idea of adoption was firmly planted in my heart. Two and a half years later, I adopted a four-month-old baby, Leo.
X did notbecome my son's adoptive father, nor did he become a father figure to him. They've never met and most likely never will. X was with me right up until I reached the threshold of motherhood, but a few months before I got word from Vietnam of my baby's birth, our reconciliation ended. The arguments had begun again. Our good intentions and mutual attraction had run out. Was it the weekend X visited and saw the high chair in my kitchen? The day I got lost among the racks of tiny clothes at the Carter's outlet? Did he begin to feel left out? Bored? And was I kidding myself? I had ended the marriage and opted for single motherhood, yet I'd hoped that X, in some murky role as "friend of family," would stay by my side. Was there logic in that? What I know for sure is that couples are ever inventive in the ways they manage to disappoint each other. There was one last fiery clash, and then X and I moved on separately to the next lives we were meant to live. I hear that he has remarried. I wish him well, as I do his boys, who are now men and thriving.
Leo is 11. He loves science. Recently, he asked me, "Do I have to believe in God? There's no proof, so how can I believe?"
"Honey, no one can ever tell you what to believe. That's the whole point of belief. It comes from inside you." I told him the truth as I know it, yet I kept thinking there was something more I wanted to say on this topic—something about mystery and faith, which may not be part of science but which have been, at times, very real in my life.
Then the other day, picking through the Legos piled deep in our sunroom turned playroom, trying to remember what the house looked like before it became a toy pit, I flashed on the memory of that odd long-ago weekend when this tiny room with the daybed and TV was transformed into a sickroom, syringe wrappings and IV tubing scattered across the floor, and I realized that though Leo never saw that scene, it's always here with us. Like a single thread of color woven into the pillow coverings of our playroom, that IV weekend—and the generous love it inspired—is a pointillist pinpoint in the fabric of our family life.

A Dallas, Ga. woman, accused of stealing over $645,000 from her employer in Marietta was indicted on 175 counts this Wednesday, AJC reports.
According to a Cobb County Grand Jury indictment, Jennifer Ann Broussard, a former employer of Craftsman Business Interiors Inc. (CBI), reportedly wrote herself unauthorized checks and changed the company's bookkeeping records in an attempt to cover her tracks.
A total of 86 checks, equaling $645,750 was taken from CBI. The checks, ranging anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 each, were all made out to Broussard, and deposited into her personal bank account.
Broussard started her employment with CBI in 2001. Along with a $95,000 annual salary, she was also given a $450 monthly car allowance. Yet, some of the false bookkeeping entries indicate that she allegedly claimed some of the checks were for vehicle expenses.
The reported thefts went unnoticed for many years, until the IRS sent CBI an unpaid federal taxes in April of 2013. Six months later, Broussard was arrested after an internal investigation. She made bail shortly after and was released from Cobb County Jail. After spending nine months free, she was arrested again this week at her home. This time, however, she has no bond.
Broussard's attorney, Kim Frye, feels her arrest is unfair, and states that the only difference is that additional charges have been added.
"Typically when people are indicted by a Grand Jury, they are not re-arrested.Nothing has changed about the case, other than the DA adding additional charges. Just because she has been indicted for a lot more charges, does not mean that she'll become a flight risk," Frye stated.
Broussard's 175 counts include racketeering, theft, and computer forgery. So far, an arraignment date has not been set.

Day One (again)
Sunday, December 08, 2013
The scale reads 312 pounds. That's 40 pounds more than last March (2013) and my waist is 59 inches. When it comes to eating food and exercising there is only failure.
Coffee with two sugars and a little milk launched a healthier better life program. Coffee should taste like coffee rather than ice cream. Coffee this morning is half-and-half as cream and high doses of sugar. Coffee may have been present. It tasted great before remembering that coffee needs to taste like coffee and not ice cream. Why I request two sugars instead of a substitute? I do not want to start a cycle with artificial sweeteners that exacerbates my desire for sweets. Weaning off sugars is something I understand.
Breakfast drink is 12 oz. 95% fruit processed in a Vita Mix. Thick and pulpy with very little water. I gulp rather than enjoy it. Fruit malts are evil treats and not breakfast. Today's change is 1/2 volume water, ˝ volume vegetables, and one fruit.
Margaret, my better half, says that she will be on board with a healthier better life program. We cleaned the cupboards and agreed that we do not purchase Costco size chips. She just left to purchase food for breakfast and lunches. I wonder how she will do. I am optimistic but I hope she wants me alive and not dead in the near future.

Day One is good. Day One is always good, no matter how many times you do it. If you think about it, each day is Day One for every one of us. I've read that we make about 200 decisions a day -- no wonder we're exhausted. But every decision is a chance to get it right.
You mentioned that there was a time when food was unaffordable. I've been there, and food insecurity is a monster to battle. How can you set about convincing your stomach that there is sufficient food, and will be, and that you don't have to gorge before the next famine period? When my husband and I were keeping company, he invited me to his home for a barbeque, and while dinner was cooking, he gave me a 'tour' of his pantry, pointing out that he had food enough to last him six weeks or better. I thought it was odd, but it was obviously important to him to know that he could eat regularly even if he couldn't get out to grocery-shop for a few weeks. We're told often enough that food isn't love, but for some of us, food represents safety. Holidays and family gatherings center around food and drink. Food is family is love, and lack of food is frightening, and can feel like being unloved.
You have a wonderful family who obviously love you dearly. I'm so glad your dear wife is working with you on eating better. It helps to have in-house cooperation. You can do this, and it sounds like you're willing to keep trying until something clicks. We're here for you.

Name: Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise)
Collection: The Saga Collection
Number: SAGA 001
Source: Return Of The Jedi
Availability: December 2005
License: Hasbro
The brave and beautiful Princess Leia Organa disguises herself as the bounty hunter, Boushh, to sneak into Jabba The Hutt's Palace. Once inside, Leia frees Han Solo from the confines of his carbonite casing. Her actions, however, are anticipated and Jabba turns the tables, capturing Leia and forcing her to become a slave. Little does Jabba know that Leia and her powerful friends will have the last laugh...
The Saga Collection is certainly good for updating some very "old" modern action figures. Hasbro has stepped up to the plate to revisit some of their earliest figures in the POTF2 line with awesome sculpts thanks to the widening parameters that technology allows toy makers to apply to their action figures line. One of the finest recent examples is Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise) which is easily the best figure of the Carkoon wave, and a must-have for your collection! There's just no comparison between this release and its outdated POTF2/SOTE counterpart, and you'll likely see for yourself the huge leap forward in quality when you have this figure in your hands. (At worst, you'll see an incredible step forward if you can't appreciate how far this Star Wars character has come in the action figure line.)
One area in which this figure excels is accessories. As opposed to its predecessor which had that handy (no pun intended) thermal detonator fused to its hand, this new Boushh Leia figure gives us the option of either attaching the separate detonator accessory to a tiny hole in the palm of her hand or clipping it to her belt. This little display feature makes a huge difference and it's greatly appreciated. Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise) also has a nice pike accessory that includes a lot more detail than the previous version of this weapon had. However, one tiny flaw observed is that the weapon falls victim to Hasbro's use of a cheaper plastic that causes it to be slightly flimsy. She's got a removable helmet that fits perfectly and has a very nice paint job with some subtly metallic grays enhanced with a wash that looks exactly like oxidized copper. And of course the standard personalized display stand and bonus 2-inch hologram figure are also included, which makes quite an impressive accessory count for one figure and a good overall value.
The sculpt is fantastic. The figure is as small as it should be since Leia did have a tiny build. And every detail of the Boushh costume is flawlessly executed, with a separately sculpted (non-removable) cape and bandolier adding some extra depth to the figure. There's also plenty of articulation. Twelve points of articulation allow for a decent amount of poseability, and that's a big plus that sets Boushh Leia apart from most of her Carkoon wave mates. Unfortunately, movement in the right arm is somewhat restricted due to the sharp angle cut of the elbow joint, so it's really only good for holding that pike at her side or escorting a Wookiee prisoner. One other minor flaw with this figure is the less than stellar likeness of the princess under the helmet. It's not terrible, but it's certainly not great either. And depending upon your point of view, the weird paint applications on the sides of her face that were meant to be loose strands of hair actually ended up looking more like thick sideburns. So there's definitely room for improvement. Overall though, Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise) is a very pleasing figure. It's a much needed resculpt that we're happy to have, and it's likely that you'll think she's a great figure too. This bounty hunter is our kind of scum…. detailed, articulated, and a great value!
Status: Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise) is an all-new figure.
Articulation Count: 16 points (12 areas of articulation)

Hola! My nickname is WDF. Short for WalkingDeadFanatic. WalkingDeadFanatic is short for #1WalkingDeadFanatic.

My group is called #GroupOfZombieLovers. The group just started 2 days ago when I decided to have a season 1-season 4 more recent group. If that makes any sense. My group is affiliated with The-Walking-Dead. It would warm my heart if you joined, and I send every member a personal thank you note for the join. Please, let me know if I disrespect you in any way. I think It's would be great if you hear me out.
You might ask:
Who are you?
New founder of #GroupOfZombieLovers. Where Fan Fiction writers, painters, and more can gather around to speak of TWD talk and art.
Can my artwork be seen by everyone?
Why not? Everyone's art here is welcomed no matter if it resembles a 5-year-old childs work. There's no such word as 'sh__tty artwork'' here at G.O.Z.L.
How can I join?
Wow made up your mind a little. lol Just press that little button that's says, 'Join Our Group'. It doesn't hurt.
Wait...why should I join?

Bacchanal Again for Carnival 2010
Thursday, April 29, 2010
That's this year's Carnival theme.
Today was Food Fair, which I missed - there was a mix-up with the time of my facial appointment, and I had scheduled it so I could make it to food fair for my roti (Trinidadian dish) - but ended up missing since the appt was re-scheduled without my knowing about it.
So I figured I'd get a roti at the Carnival village tonight - lots of booths ringing the big parking lot in town, music, rides - DH and I went down about 8 PM - and walked and walked and walked, all around the booths, only to find that this year there was NO ROTI!!!!!! I had to settle for a chicken pate. People were very helpful, suggesting one booth after another - and others commiserated with me on how awful it was to have a Carnival without ROTI! Unheard of! (We shook our heads and said we didn't know what the world was coming to, and laughed.)
Ran into students who hugged me, friends, even the sax player from our family-dinner-before-the-weddi
ng (and his wife, who works with DH, and their 3 little kids). Walked about 5000 steps at the village, danced to the music, walked some more.
My favorite part - we watched little boys near the rides, they had these foil packets that explode. I asked one kid (about age 12) what made it explode, what did they do - so he and his friends demonstrated how you press it in the middle to mix whatever is inside, then throw it at someone and watch it explode. (Weird, but harmless.) Then we asked about the little explosives that are like caps, you throw them on the ground and they pop. So another little boy, maybe 8 yrs old, took us to a booth and showed us what to buy - DH and I knew, we bought them last year, but the kid was so cute helping us - so we bought a box (50 for $1) and I gave the kid a handful - then DH and I threw them at each other's feet, making little tiny pops, and giggling hysterically - until we realized all these adults were standing around watching us and laughing - it was very funny!
The big new toy this year was for littler kids - sort of an automated bubble blower, shooting out a stream of bubbles, while flashing lights - so we walked through areas that were awash with floating bubbles - very cool!
So - it's midnight, the music is still going, DH and Cleo are asleep on the couch - I'm going to get a few hours of sleep before we get up with the road music when J'ouvert begins about 5 AM (road march with bands down the waterfront - ties up traffic for hours - our tradition is to drive down and park at DH's office, hang out at J'ouvert, which is the craziest part of Carnival, then we go out for bkfst).
Happy Carnival!!!!!

Whistleblower or traitor? That question is going to hover around guys like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden for the rest of their lives, and if there's anything Hollywood loves it's moral ambiguity. Last year we saw a handful of movies on Assange, none really performing all that well, and in a few months we'll see Jeremy Renner as whistleblower Gary Webb in Kill the Messenger, but at least that films looks like a possible awards contender. It was inevitable that we'd get a biopic on Snowden at some point, and now one is on the way from Oliver Stone. Perfect fit?
Stone is teaming up with The Guardian newspaper for an adaptation of Luke Harding's The Snowden Files. Harding is a contributor to the paper, which also had a very important part to play in helping Snowden leak what were thousands of NSA and other security documents. This would seem to be right up Stone's alley as the director of politically-charged films like Nixon, W., and JFK, and hopefully he can do the story some justice without going too far over the top as is his tendency of late. The Guardian's consulting on the project may help keep it on the right path.
Filming is to begin by the end of the year. Who do we think would make for a good Snowden?

Can the default instance name be something other than (local) or (machinename)? For example, if my server is called Apple, and I install SQL Server 2008 and choose to create a default instance and name it Orange, will this work? Will I then be able to use a connection string that is "Database=Orange" from another server?
The end goal: I have a lot of DBs on a server Apple, and want them to all be moved to a new server Orange - is there a way of doing this without breaking all the connection strings that currently reference Apple?
I'm guessing the answer to all of this is no and that makes sense, but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

A Florida man unhappy with neighbor complaints about his masturbation habits remained Wednesday in the Hillsborough County Jail on first-degree arson of a dwelling charges after police say he set fire to his apartment, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Exacting revenge upon apartment management, Kenneth Haskins set fire to the kitchen and bedroom of his unit following tenant complaints that he regularly pleasured himself in front of the windows or an open door of his Mar Plaza Apartment at 4817 E Temple Heights Road, near Busch Boulevard and N 56th Street, in Tampa.
Four people were left homeless as a result of the fire, according to Tampa Fire Rescue officials, which broke out just after 10 p.m. Monday night.
Haskins, who lived alone in the apartment, later told police detectives that he wanted to get back at the company that managed the apartment complex.
An investigation revealed that the fire originated in two separate areas - a bedroom and the kitchen - inside Haskins' apartment, according to a police report. Fire investigators determined that flammable liquids were spread to start the blaze.
"It appears that this Haskins fellow has some mental issues that should be addressed." Fort Lauderdale criminal defense attorney John Contini, author of several real-life crime dramas including Danger Road and Feeling the Heat, told Examiner. "Between shooting himself in the face, allegedly masturbating in public view and setting his apartment on fire, his behavior is certainly questionable."
According to police, Haskins had been repeated requested to stop masturbating in front of his open windows and front door.
Haskins, who suffers from a facial disfigurement after shooting himself in the face with a shotgun, is facing thirty years in state prison if convicted and a fine of up to $10,000.00.

It appears that wide receiver Lance Moore's time with the Saints has come to an end based on a tweet he sent out Friday morning.
One day after ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Moore, who's been with the Saints since 2005, and running back Pierre Thomas were being "shopped" to other teams, Moore tweeted what appeared to be a good-bye on his verified Twitter account.
Moore tweeted: "Thank you New Orleans for an amazing nine years. Who Dat Nation, the best on earth!!!"
Later Friday morning, NFL Network national insider Ian Rapoport, citing a source, reported that Moore's representatives have been informed by the Saints that they plan to release him.
Saints' officials did not immediately confirm their plans for Moore, who was the last player remaining from the pre-Sean Payton era after linebacker Will Smith was released last month.
Moore was going into the fourth year of a five-year, $20 million contract he signed in 2011. He was due $3.1 million in base salary and carried a cap figure of about $5.07 million for 2014 when you factor in his prorated signing bonus and other bonuses.
His release will save the Saints just more than $2.7 million on the salary cap this season.
As of Thursday, the Saints were close to the $133 million cap that goes into effect Tuesday after franchising tight end Jimmy Graham and offering a one-year tender offer to safety Rafael Bush, a restricted free agent.
Moore joined the Saints in 2005 when Jim Haslett was in his final season as the Saints' coach. After joining the team's practice squad that season, Moore blossomed in Payton's potent offense.
He spent most of the 2006 season on the practice squad and had just one reception for 10 yards, but worked his way onto the field in 2007 and had 32 catches for 302 yards and two touchdowns.
Overall, he caught 346 passes for 4,281 yards and 38 TDs with the Saints. His best seasons were in 2008 when he caught 78 passes for 928 yards with 10 TDs and 2012 when he had a career-high 1,041 yards and six scores on 65 receptions.
Moore, who will turn 31 before the start of the 2014 season, missed three games with a hand injury last year and had his snaps cut later in the season. He wound up with 37 receptions for 457 yards and two TDs.

Rep: Liam Hemsworth and Amanda Bynes NOT "Hooking Up"
Is Miley Cyrus' ex hooking up with Amanda Bynes?
That's the buzz today after photos of Liam Hemsworth getting awfully close with Bynes popped up on a number of sites.
But there's one tiny problem.
A rep for Hemsworth tells Gossip Cop the photos in question were taken just after the actor moved to the U.S. – in 2009.
Two years ago.
So much for that hot "new couple alert."
"They were not together then and are not together now," adds the rep.
