"Bachelorette" contestant Chris Soules is rumored to be the next "Bachelor," but will his arrest record force the folks at ABC to reconsider? Soules' biggest secret is not the fact that he wrote Andi Dorfman love letters as her secret admirer. Radar Online states that the handsome farmer was arrested not only on DUI charges, but he has a rap sheet that includes more than 13 other charges between 1998 and 2010.
Blogger Reality Steve is confident that Chris will be selected as the next "Bachelor" and his spoilers indicate that Andi will dump him on the overnight dates prior to heading to the fantasy suite. If what the spoilers say are true, fans will be left to wonder if Andi dumps him because she found out about his arrest record or because she wasn't thrilled with Chris' suggestion that she would have "an opportunity to be a homemaker" if they ended up tying the knot. Or it could be that he was lured by producers to become the reality show's next leading man, so Andi was told to dump him. Not that they had a shred of chemistry between them to begin with.
Is Josh Murray cheating on 'Bachelorette' Andi Dorfman?
Farmer Soules hasn't had a brush with the law since 2010, so hopefully he's limiting his drinking to hotel rooms in Brussels and on his farm Iowa. In 2010 when he was found guilty and fined due to a registration violation. The arrest record that Radar Online posted this week also shows a list of other minor infractions, including the time that Soules was arrested for underage drinking and fined for driving a few miles over the speed limit.
However, there is a more serious charge back in 2006 that states Soules was arrested for drunk driving and was found guilty. He was fined in excess of $500 and served a year of probation. He was 24 at the time of the arrest. See Chris Soules' arrest record here.
'Bachelorette' hometown spoilers: Does Andi send Marcus Grodd home?
Perhaps it was small-town boredom that caused Soules to be a little reckless in the past. Going six miles over the speed limit in Iowa sounds like a ridiculous charge, but hopefully his drinking and driving is a thing of the past.
If he does become the next "Bachelor" it will be interesting to see if his arrest record is brought up or swept under the Bachelor mansion rug. Hopefully there are no other secrets that he's hiding. His calm demeanor on the "Bachelorette" may be a sign that he's finally grown up and is ready to settle down, find a wife and make her a happy homemaker.

Bloomfield, Genoa City, Pell Lake
State says 'no'
DOA denies proposed village, but Pell Lake meets incorporation requirements
Steve Targo
write the author
SCRAMBLING TO MAKE A DECISION - With the 18-square-mile village of Bloomfield proposal dead, the state Department of Administration issued some hope for a new village proposal concerning the Pell Lake area. But on Monday, Bloomfield Town Chairman Ken Monroe said it will be up to the town's Ad Hoc Incorporation Committee to recommend a course of action to the Town Board. "The next step will be to have a committee meeting," Monroe said. However, the committee needs at least one more member before that meeting takes place. According to Monroe, only Doug Mushel and Becky Gallagher have remained on the committee since officials created the 18-square-mile village proposal. Others left the committee because where they live no longer was part of the proposed village. The focus of the meeting may be to decide whether the town pursues incorporating the Pell Lake area as a village. This wouldn't be the first time someone tried to turn Pell Lake into a village, but in 1999, that effort failed during a referendum election. Monroe said once the committee finds a third member, he wants the committee to meet. He said the board may act on that recommendation at its next regular meeting Monday, July 12.
June 16, 2010 | 09:07 AM
Bloomfield — Ken Monroe said in a way he was surprised with what he read Saturday in a letter from the state Department of Administration.
The town chairman had been optimistic about his community's chances to turn an 18-square-mile region northwest of Higway H into what could have been Walworth County's largest village.
But on Monday, Monroe said the state Department of Administration determined the proposed village of Bloomfield doesn't meet all the incorporation requirements.
"The big reason for the determination was, I think, that we were just asking for too much land," he said.

If you cut their taxes, will they come?

In a June 11 letter to Walworth County Circuit Court Judge John Race, DOA Incorporation Review Board Chairman Brian Vigue stated a portion of the proposed village area — including Pell Lake — "would meet all the standards."
To those who can remember what happened more than 10 years ago, this could be construed as an ironic twist of fate.
In 1999, a group of town residents attempted to incorporate Pell Lake.
At that time, the DOA determined the Pell Lake proposal met the incorporation requirements, the majority of residents voted against a referendum to allow the proposed village.
Monroe, then a Town Board supervisor, was one of the officials against the Pell Lake incorporation attempt.
In explaining why he opposed the 1999 Pell Lake effort — and why he supported the recently rejected Bloomfield village proposal — he suggested his all-or-nothing attitude about the effort to preserve the town's borders.
"We wanted the whole township, or at least as much of it as we can get (as a village)," Monroe said.
He said with this latest attempt, it was the same mindset.
"You've got to go for it all," Monroe said. "That's what the petitions were for. The town people, when they petitioned, they wanted to go for the whole town, not just Pell Lake."
State law allows cities and villages to annex land from nearby towns at a property owner's request.
Monroe and other town officials have expressed concerns over two nearby communities — the city of Lake Geneva and the village of Genoa City — annexing town of Bloomfield land, thereby reducing the town's borders, territory and tax base.
The town filed its incorporation, and Lake Geneva and Genoa City filed motions to intervene.
This made the first half of last year a busy — and some would say frustrating — one, with negotiation attempts at boundaries for the proposed village of Bloomfield.
On Monday, Monroe said although he thought proponents of the Bloomfield village proposal did what the state had asked, in the back of his mind was a suspicion that there would be one reason the DOA wouldn't accept the request.
"Lake Geneva was one of the biggest reasons we didn't make it," he said. "Their biggest thing was (the city) wanted a bigger buffer."
The proposed village of Bloomfield would have abutted directly against the city of Lake Geneva's southern boundary line. Some city officials said this prohibits Lake Geneva's southern growth. One city or village cannot annex land from another.
But Monroe saw it differently.
"The buffer zones, to me, are ridiculous," he said. "Once (a city or village) annexes that buffer area, are you supposed to put another one in there?"
Although Bloomfield and Genoa City officials agreed on a buffer zone — but not a clause prohibiting residents in the zone from asking to be annexed in the proposed Bloomfield village — negotiations didn't go too far with Lake Geneva officials.
"We couldn't come up with an agreement," Monroe said.
Moving forward
But now, he said he wants to take another stab at an agreement with the city despite his track record. Monroe said he wants to speak soon with the city's new mayor, Jim Connors.
"I've never had any success with the last three city mayors," Monroe said with a laugh.
Also, Vigue stated the town could revise its incorporation request.
According to Vigue, the Incorporation Review Board will consider waiving the $20,000 incorporation fee if it revises the map following the board recommendations for Pell Lake and circulates a new petition within the next 114 days.
Monroe said that will be up to the town's Ad Hoc Incorporation Committee.

Saundra Baron
Nov. 20, 2013
By Adam Miller,
Asst. Director of Athletic Media Relations
Many student-athletes have endured the hardships and inconveniences related to life changes at a young age. When that adversity is thrown their way, they are forced into the choppy waters and have the choice to sink or swim. For East Carolina soccer goalkeeper Saundra Baron, she is doing everything she can to not only swim, but build her own ship, too.
Baron was always ahead of the ball during grade school, which began with her skipping the third grade after she was a little ahead of the curve academically. The drawback came about six years later when Baron was a 16-year-old high school player from Greensboro, N.C., that wasn't getting as many looks from college as the 17 and 18-year-olds on the soccer field.
Despite being a member of the Trinidad & Tobago Women's National Team, it wasn't until May of her senior year that she received offers from Louisville and Coastal Carolina, and made the choice to go attend the latter to be closer to home. Her decision might have made the casual reader squint or raise their eyebrows, but when you add the fact that her mother, Shirleyanne, was suffering from lung cancer, the closer to Greensboro she could be made all the sense in the world.
In her freshman season as a Chanticleer in 2011, Baron was the starting goalkeeper in 16 of the team's 19 games. Coastal Carolina finished the season with just two wins and two ties, but that was the last thing on her mind. Her parents came for a visit in the middle of the season to see her play and spend some time with their daughter, but they brought more bad news: Saundra's father, Joffre, was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The season eventually came to an end, and so did her playing time at Coastal Carolina. Baron did not play during her second year, redshirting the season. On November 24, 2012, nearly a month after the end of her redshirt season, Baron received the kind of phone call no one wants to get. Shirleyanne had lost her battle with lung cancer. Saundra opted to transfer.
"My mom wanted me closer to home," Baron said. "She wanted me to be happy and the last place she gave her blessing to before she died was ECU."
East Carolina wasn't simply picked out of a list of schools in the state of North Carolina that had a women's soccer program in need a goalkeeper, but there was a connection to head coach Rob Donnenwirth, who coached Baron at the Olympic Development Program.
"It was a fresh start, a new place for me to go in-state that was closer to my dad and it was a school with a great program and athletic history," Baron said. "I just wanted to wipe the slate clean and prove to people that I could become the goalkeeper I always knew I could be."
After beginning classes at ECU during the 2013 spring semester, Baron claims that the transition to East Carolina was difficult, leaving behind all of the relationships she built in her first two years of college and recuperating in a relatively unfamiliar place. The funny part is, one wouldn't even know she was the new kid on the block if they took a moment to observe how she carries herself and the positive demeanor she composes – especially on the field.
"It was hard trying to find a place to fit in with the team because when I play I'm really loud and vocal. I'm a presence, so I didn't know how people would react to me both on and off the field. I'm used to people looking back at me on the field saying: 'Who is that kid in the back yelling?' It was hard for me to shake that off, but this is who I am, who I have to be and how I've always played because that is what got me here."
Baron's outgoing personality has assisted her transition into a new university off the field, too. Her interests lie within her faith, which has led her to develop new friendships with student-athletes from various different sports at ECU. One of those student-athletes is senior football player Trent Tignor, who leads a weekly student-athlete bible study group every Thursday night.
"It's a small group, and the most we've had attend is about 25 people. We all get our bibles, pick a passage for the night, read it and discuss. Everyone feeds off of each other and it's one of the positive reinforcements I have."
Positive reinforcement is something everyone needs to maintain a balanced state of mind. It is faith that drives Baron, and it is something she holds near and dear for obvious reasons.
"It's all about the belief that my mother and father instilled in me because there was a time where those were the only two people who believed in me. God has given me so many opportunities and it's up to me to make the most of them. He's put adversity in my life to make me stronger and become a better person."
Despite the passing of her mother just short of one year ago, the relationship with her father has never been stronger. Baron makes every effort to spend time with him, even if it's only for a couple of hours. On October 6, the final evening of fall break, Baron returned from a road game at UAB at 11:30 p.m., got in her car and drove two and a half hours to Greensboro to be with her dad.
"I'll always make time to go see him. He's the most important person in my life. He is the voice of reason in my head when I want to be the stubborn person that I know I can be. When I have a bad game or a bad practice, I'll call him and question whether I can still be the soccer player I want to be. He tells me he didn't take me to all those practices, games and fly me all across the country for a player who wasn't worth it.
With Baron's vocal presence and determination, ECU may have received its own blessing through the leadership she provides.
"I want to make history for ECU Soccer. East Carolina is making so many strides in areas like football, basketball, tennis and a ton of other sports, and I want women's soccer to be one of those focal points."

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore speaks her mind while filming the show and she isn't afraid of telling everyone how she feels. She has been slamming her co-stars throughout the season and she doesn't want people to think that she takes any rude comments from anyone. However, it sounds like she is also going after people outside of Atlanta. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Feb. 3, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore is now going after Brandi Glanville.
Last year, all of the ladies went to an event in New York for the Bravo network. Apparently, Brandi has an issue with both NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore. No one really knows why they were fighting, but it sounds like it was a bad brawl. And the drama continues on Twitter.
NeNe has said that Brandi has a drinking problem because she is always out and about, drunk and showing off her underwear. And now Kenya is adding fuel to the fire. When asked if she was supporting Brandi in her drama on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Kenya was brutally honest. "No she's an ass clown," she replied.
What do you think of her comments?

How to get the Hibernate Session from the JPA 2.0 EntityManager
By Lukas Stewart
With so many benefits and drawbacks to using either the Hibernate Session or the JPA EntityManager for performing object relational mapping, it is no wonder why enterprise architects have such a difficult time choosing between them. The JPA EntityManager is part of the Java Persistence API standard. However, the Hibernate Session provides many features that go above and beyond the JPA specification, with Criteria query capabilities being a compelling legacy feature that JPA 1.0 did not have, and Hibernate Envers being a compelling reason to use the Hibernate 4.0 Session object over its JPA brethren.
According to Emmanuel Bernard, a data architect for JBoss who is part of the Hibernate team, the preferred option for organizations adopting Hibernate to perform ORM tasks is to use the JPA EntityManager. So what should IT developers do if they need to get to the underlying Hibernate Session to access its extra features? Fortunately, the JPA specification makes it possible to access the underlying Hibernate Session, even if your application is using the JSR-317 standard.
JPA 1.0 access to the Hibernate Session
To obtain the Hibernate Session from a JPA 1.0 EntityManager, the following code would be required:
org.hibernate.Session hibernateSession = (Session)entityManager.getDelegate();
Unfortunately, this syntax isn't completely portable, as this code works fine on a JBoss Application Server, but will have unpredictable results when run on other platforms.
JPA 2.0 access to the Hibernate Session
Fortunately, JPA 2.0 provides a better, more portable and more cross-platform approach to obtaining the Hibernate Session. The code to do so is as follows:
Session session = entityManager.unwrap(org.hibernate.Session.class);
And that's it! That's how easy it is to obtain the underlying Hibernate implementation class when working with the JPA EntityManager. So make this code a part of your HibernateUtil class, and make it possible for the persistence store that is working with your entity beans to morph into a Hibernate Session, allowing you to take advantage of the many neat features that go above and beyond the standard JPA specification.

Barack Obama Talks About His White House Homebrew
It all started with a beekeeper in the First Lady's garden.
The president stopped by the Late Show last night to talk with David Letterman and managed to discuss the beginnings of his now-famous White House Honey Ale. It all started with a beekeeper in Michelle's garden. In an attempt to share his own talents, one of Obama's staffers had volunteered his brewing skills. And, ever since the White House released the recipe, it's become a homebrewing mini-phenomenon.

Watching the news the evening of the Boston bombings I found myself mesmerized at the sheer heroics shown in the midst of such a disorienting tragic circumstance. The images of strangers stepping up in the aftermath, somehow roping in the chaos, and in turn salvaging many broken beings from the rubble gave me hope once again for America.
The downward spiral of our country has been taking its toll on us Americans, regardless of which party you stand with, for some time now. And yet in the blink of an eye we pull together and fight to protect and serve one another. Side by side we push through the insanity. Such actions shine hope on the future of our country.
We the people of this United States need to get back to the basics of the founding principles our blessed country was built on, holding fast to the framework that has made this the promise land for those born here as well as the millions that have come to America searching for a better life.
The poignant image of the man running alongside a wheelchair carrying one of the victims of the blasts whose legs were missing, bones protruding, will forever be etched in my heart. As he ran alongside he held in his hand on the arteries of a stranger, attempting to control his bleeding as they rushed him to safety. Such bravery should we all demonstrate, such compassion for others, such selflessness in our day to day existence -- Not only in times of duress.
Someday we will look back on these days we are living. Wouldn't it be wonderful if each of us could be proud of the days we call our life when all is said and done? That in even the smallest ways we helped makes life better for others?
The madness of the world will likely never cease. Even the wars of this generation are documented in Genesis, beginning with Isaac and Ismael -- Unrest is as old as time itself. America, as a whole has definitely strayed from our founding principles and ethics, nevertheless at the core we still have heart, we still pull together when all hell breaks loose without regard to race, religion or ethnicity. I doubt any of the rescuers inquired as to which party the victims voted for before offering a helping hand.
As we move through the next few weeks we should not focus on the evil that attacked us, but instead on the truth that we Americans are filled with compassion, regard for human life and respect for one another beyond understanding. Though our troubles pale in comparison to those war torn counties abroad, in the midst of the firestorm we somehow come together and rise from the ashes once again.

Fast Growing "Thing" on Leg (What is this?)

Fast Growing "Thing" on Leg (What is this?)
I recently noticed a rapid growth of a "thing" I had for about 10 years on my leg.
It's in the top, interior part.
It is skin colored and grew 2-3 times in only 1-2 days!
It doesn't hurt, it is skin colored, it is "wrinkled", so skin on it is not soft. Rarely it did itch in the past.
It looks like a bell's clapper or, we might say it looks like a "tear drop".
The "thing" now looks like a ball and is attached to my leg through a small, tight channel...
Before, it was smaller, softer, flatter, now in 2 days it suddenly became larger, round. Like it inflated or got filled with liquid. Now it is almost the size of a pea. When it was 3 times smaller, I thought it doesn't bother me much, I'll leave it like that.
Note: it has "normal" skin on it, but overall it seems to have its own contents...
I am on a long trip and have walked for long hours, over 8 hours a day. And for about 1 month before I have been taking tons of antibiotics for treating prostatitis and epididimitis.
I took lots of anti-inflammatories, not sure if these could have made it grow...
2 days ago I could swear it looked more "normal"...
What is your opinion? What could this be?
Anyone had anything like this?

Our good friend Perry's latest mantra is that we have a "dysfunctional Congress," which means, well, I don't know what it means.¹ But one wonders what Perry would say if Congress declines to pass an increase in the statutory debt limit, and President Obama simply ignores the ceiling and keeps borrowing anyway. From Allahpundit:
Hot new idea: What if Obama just ignores Congress on the debt ceiling?
posted at 3:50 pm on June 25, 2011 by Allahpundit
Yeah, why not? That's perfectly in keeping with Obama's M.O. when the legislature gets in his way. Can't get Congress to move on cap and trade? Make the EPA do something. Don't want to beg Congress to authorize war in Libya? Send in the Air Force and forget about it.
Annoyed that Congress has refused to raise the debt ceiling because you can't reach a deal on deficit reduction? Just keep selling Treasury securities and apply the proceeds to paying interest on the debt, then dare the House and Senate to do something about it.
There's much more at the link, including an argument from The New Republic that the debt limit itself is inherently unconstitutional:
But even if standing could be established and the Obama administration gets taken to court, some legal experts note that an additional argument of surprising strength could be made: The government cannot legally default on its debts. Former Reagan official and maverick conservative budget wonk Bruce Bartlett has suggested as much by invoking Section Four of the Fourteenth Amendment, which says that "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law … shall not be questioned." Although there has been little litigation or discussion of this section, it could be read to imply an absolute firewall against statutory limits on paying or devaluing the debt.
Allahpundit then added:
Now there's a campaign platform I'd like to see in time for the 2012 election: "The Constitution lets me run up as much debt as I want and there's nothing your representatives can do to stop me."
Now, the obvious counter is that the Constitution puts paying our past, legally-incurred obligations ahead of other spending, but how do you determine what gets cut? The Line Item Veto Act of 1996 was held to be unconstitutional in Clinton v City of New York (524 U.S. 417 (1998)), so the selection of non-debt-repayment items to be deleted would not be solely up to President Obama, and if the Congress couldn't then agree on what already-appropriated items were to be sequestered, then each appropriated item would have just as much of an obligation to be spent as any other.
So, if the Congress does what the people who elected it to do, which is not borrow more money, and declines to raise the debt ceiling, and President Obama goes ahead and takes unilateral action and exceeds the statutory debt limit anyway, will Perry start complaining about "Dictator Obama," or will he continue the "dysfunctional Congress" meme, and tell us that the President simply had to do what he did?
¹ – Whatever he means, he has used "dysfunctional Congress" enough times in the past two days for me to wonder if that was the latest DNC talking point he was e-mailed.

curious which source repo is more effecient in terms of using server resources, git or svn?
If you mean saving resources on your repository server, I would say DVCS in general (git, bzr, hg, etc.) are more efficient because there's more operations that can be done locally.
For example, with DVCS, you can easily merge branches on your development machine and then commit the result to the repository machine, while a centralized VCS (such as CVS or svn) will have to do the merge on the repository machine, thus using more resources on it.
When it comes to disk resources, I find git and bzr more efficient also because CVS and svn put versionning info at each level of the tree (CVS dirs in the case of CVS, .svn dirs in the case of svn) while git and bzr use only one directory (.git or .bzr) at the top of the tree, which is more efficient in terms of disk space.

This morning Google implemented changes to its terms and conditions to ensure that apps can no longer push updates from outside the Google Play Store. This update comes not long after both Facebook and Adblock Plus began pushing updates to their apps independent of Google and Google Play.
"An app downloaded from Google Play may not modify, replace or update its own APK binary code using any method other than Google Play's update mechanism", reads the new sentence in Google's terms and conditions.
While this change will have very little effect to Facebook, it seems like another major roadblock for Adblock Plus who was using the independent update method to keep its banned app updated.

ZSOIL14-10 Holiday at Montville – 29 Vreeland Ave
- B: 52.03, L: 19, 21 & 22 – soil movement - Notice Acceptable
Present on behalf of the applicant: Steven Schepis, Esq. ; Mark Walker, PE
Mr. Schepis thanked the board for the special
meeting. All variances requested have
been eliminated along with design exceptions.
Mark Walker, PE - previously sworn
No longer seeking additional variances. Pillars have been modified to meet
the ordinance along with the signage.
Sign will just say Briar Hill. Unit
#6 will have a deck that was reduced to meet the ordinance. The site triangle will meet the RSIS
standards. The pillars will be moved
closer to Vreeland Avenue. The biggest
changes to the plan were related to landscaping. We met with Michael Kopas and Ed Schnikas as
it relates to landscaping and the changes have been accepted by Mr. Burgis'
office. We do have some design
exceptions requested. Road width reduced
from 28' to 24'. Upon review of
Omland's report there is another exception as it relates to a dead end water
line. Technically we have a dead end
water line. There is a municpal water
line a few hundred feet from our property.
DEP does not like dead end water lines because there is a stagnant
section of a water line that collects stagnant water. We looked into a looped water line but would
connect back into a dead end line. Spoke
to Mr. Ryden's office and the best way would be to have a connection at our
entrance way and loop it through the project and back out. The fire chief had no issue with this type of
water line.
Mr. Walker - We submitted a water extension permit to the DEP. We should have that permit in February. We have made infrastruture cuts for
improvments. We are consistent with RSIS
as it relates to water and sewer and fire protection. Water system will be maintained by the Home
Owner's Association. There will be no
extensions from the water system beyond this development. The infrustructure exists in Vreeland
Ave. We have responded to all the public and board questions in our
November correspondence. Parking
Summary Table was submitted; required 47 parking spaces provided 122
parking spaces 56 parking spaces are in garage, 23 on street. Some units have
walk out basements and some have garage under units.
Mr. Walker - Have done landscaping enhancement along Longview's
property. There is a rise in topography
before it slopes back down to Longview's property. Stormwater runoff requirements have all been
met per DEP. Drainage will not be
flowing onto neighboring properties. We
have 3 driveways that are common driveways.
These driveways make it easier to get out of the driveways. It reduces the curvature of the
driveway. We will save 12 - 18" trees,
there are other trees but they are less than 18". We have done the calucations on units 29, 5,
6,7 & 8 which are walk out units and as a result they require an additional
670 s.f. of fill. We are reducing the
amount of material to be trucked off the site.
Mr. Walker - Added pavement striping from two lane to one way circle. We have parking proposed on outside portion
of the circle. Striping will direct
traffic away from where cars are to be parked.
Mr. Burgis asked if the air conditioning units can be moved. Mr. Walker - There are 4 units that need
additional landscaping. They are on the
outside of the building between the
street and the building. Suggest landscaping to disguise them. Feel that there is significant amount of
landscpaing to screen the units. Mr.
Burgis - Your 12' between buildings at use approval is diminished by the air
conditioning units. Mr. Burgis - 2,700
s.f. near the gazebo is not a large enough area for recreation. Mr. Walker - The back of unit 29 is 28' from
the gazebo with a retaining wall in between.
This was not a requirement for the area, and it is not a ruckus crowd in
the development so do not see an issue.
Mr. Burgis - The board should look into this further, should be designed
with something of substance that benefits all the residents. Mr. Burgis - The shared driveways may be
partially blocking access to the garages on the neighboring units. Mr. Walker - Will take a look at it. Mr. Burgis - Will need building height numbers
from the architect. Mr. Thomas - Will
there be consolidation of lots. Homeowner's
association will take care of all maintenance, water system, sewer system,
etc. Mr. Walker – Yes, agreed. Mr. Thomas - Agree to affidavit of
complaince, etc. Mr. Walker - Yes.
Open to public
Matthew Rankin - lives in Longview - sworn
My concern is precedent. Mr.
Marinello - Comments or questions for this witness at this time. Mr. Rankin - Pillar size? Mr. Walker - Pillar height will be 8' high
which meets the ordinance. Mr. Rankin -
The air conditioning units are close to the back of the units and are close to
the property lines and we will hear them clicking on. Especially units 13-16. How loud are they? Mr. Walker - Typical units. Mr. Rankin - can you move them closer to the
front of the house? Mr. Walker - Do not
think the board would like them closer to the front of the house. Mr. Rankin- Will there be landscaping around
the stormwater management basin? Mr.
Walker - Yes.
Nick Mizzone - 74 Jesse Ct. - previously sworn
Wood construction? Mr. Walker -
Yes. Mr. Mizzone - Concerned with fire
safety due to the fact that they are 12' apart.
Concerned that there are no
places for meetings to be held for the association.
Marsha Goldstein - 78 Jesse Ct. - sworn
Concerned that this meeting was not posted for 8PM. Mr. Marinello - Notice was properly done for
the special meeting. Ms. Goldstein -
What are the setback requirements for Montville. Mr. Walker - There are different setbacks for
different zones. The front and rear yard for this zone is 50' and the sides
are 20'. But variances for setbacks for
this application were granted at Use approval.
Mr. Mizzone submitted exhibits:
O-1 notes for project
on Vreeland Ave
O-2 - article on fire
Mr. Marinello - Do not think we will get back to this applicaiton until
after 9:30PM this evening. This
application was carried to the end of the regularly scheduled hearing.
The Board moved to the regularly scheduled hearing at 8PM.
Certified true copy of minutes adopted at Zoning Board
meeting of January 5, 2011.

Paypal gets hit with a sophisticated phishing attack
Able to bypass browser security
ONLINE PAYMENT SERVICE Paypal has been the victim of a sophisticated phishing attack, according to the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT).
The attack, which is also being used to target Bank of America, Lloyds and TSB, is sent as part of an HTML attachment with unsolicited emails claiming to be legitimate.
The key difference between this attack and similar phishing attempts is that it locally stores the phishing webpage, rather than redirecting the user to a specific URL, which can be caught by anti-phishing measures built into many popular web browsers. Storing the website locally allows the attack to completely bypass browsers' anti-phishing defences.
US-CERT recommends that users be extra cautious online, particularly with personal information. It suggests that users should not open links and attachments in unsolicited emails, and should also attempt to verify that the email is legitimate by contacting the organisation in question or logging in directly through official websites only. µ

Broadband refers to a form of telecommunication that allows higher data transfer rates. Broadband transfers data at least 10 times faster than standard dial-up, because it provides wide band of frequencies to transfer data at the same time.
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is a broadband connection technology which utilizes existing copper wired telephone networks. ADSL is 'asymmetric' because it facilitates different speeds for downloading and uploading, for optimized performance. This is the reason why ADSL packages always quote higher download speeds compared to upload speeds.
SLT offers seven Broadband packages.
Static IP is provided on request for Web Master, Champ and Life packages
You should select the broadband package which best suits your usage and requirement.
It is important to note that there is no significant difference in single session transfer rates in accessing global internet at the peak hours by unlimited usage packages. However, the aggregate transfer rates of multiple sessions may reach the maximum speed.
You can migrate to any of the available packages that you feel would better suit your requirements. The following charges apply for package migration.
An ADSL splitter is a low pass filter which allows only the voice signals to pass through. If you do not connect a splitter, you may hear noise on your telephone during voice calls.
If you have parallel telephones before the splitter, then for each parallel line you are required to connect a splitter or a micro filter.
Currently SLT offers Broadband service on normal PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) lines only. You may need to convert the ISDN line to a normal telephone line by making a written request to your regional telecom office/teleshop, if you need SLT Broadband) service on the line. However, your telephone number may change, since PSTN number levels are different from ISDN number levels.
Data transfer rate of an internet session depends on many factors such as:
Therefore your data transfer rates may not reach the maximum allowed speeds and may vary from time to time.
You can check your usage volume through the usage meter on www.sltnet.lk web site.
You can view the usage for the present month and the two previous months.

What are Collaborations?
Canvas recently introduced a new page design called the New Canvas User Interface (UI). Depending on your Canvas view, your page design may vary from the images shown in this lesson. However, the functionality and location of the components remain the same.
Canvas leverages Google Docs technology to allow multiple users (up to 50 collaborators) to work together on the same document at the same time. Collaborative documents are saved in real-time, meaning a change made by any of its users will be immediately visible to everyone.
Note: Google Docs allows you to add up to 50 users per collaboration, and all users can view and edit a document at the same time. However, Google collaborations has a limit as to the number of users who can access a collaboration at any time. Learn more about creating a Google Collaboration.
Open Collaborations
When would I use Collaborations?
You can use Collaborations to:
- Copy and paste lecture notes that everyone can access.
- Share with your students bullet-point lists or agendas for upcoming synchronous class time or meetings.
- Create a text-based whiteboard that everyone in the classroom can see and refer to later.
- Assign student groups a collaborative assignment. Require them to turn in the URL as a graded Assignment.
- Note: As an instructor, if you want to create a document for a certain group, create it within the group.

Paul and the Philosophers
ISBN13:by Blanton, Ward; de Vries, Hent
Fordham University Press
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 12/25/2013.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
The apostle Paul has reemerged as a force on the contemporary philosophical scene. Some of the most powerful recent affirmations of nonrepresentational, materialist, and event-oriented philosophies repeat topics and tropes of the ancient apostle. Other thinkers find in Paul and his numerous cultural "afterlives" the ideal figure to contest both identity politics and the postmodern political fetish of endless openness and the deferral of presence. Paul is appropriated both for and against Kantian cosmopolitanism, psychoanalytic models of subjectivity and power, Schmittian political theologies, Derridean messianism, political universalism, and an ongoing refashioning of identity politics within postsecular contexts. This book provides the most comprehensive constellation to date of current thinking about Paul and his cultural or philosophical "afterlives" in ancient, modern, and contemporary contexts. It is a groundbreaking international and multidisciplinary exploration of the vexed political history of Paulinisms in philosophy and of philosophies in Paulinism. From his very first utterances, Paul's pronouncements as the self-proclaimed apostle of Jesus were curiously intertwined with philosophical discourse, with Paul presenting himself as both philosopher and anti-philosopher. Early Christian receptions of Paul then carefully managed his legacy in relation to the philosophical schools, presenting him alternately as an exemplary Platonist, a purveyor of Stoic spiritual exercises, and someone whose authority outstrips philosophy altogether. In the modern period, various types of Paulinism were imagined serially as possible escapes of philosophical thought from the domination of inherited metaphysics or ontotheology. The contributors to this volume bring unprecedented multidisciplinary expertise to both the historical reception and the contemporary relevance of a thinker who may come to be seen as the defining figure of our political and intellectual moment.

I'm not saying he didn't look ridiculous. Tom Brady's dumbfounding hairdo at the Met Costume Institute Ball on Monday, the greasy fauxhawk that TMZ described as the limp dorsal fin of a killer whale, managed to render the woman on his arm, Gisele Bündchen, nearly invisible, and continues to raise howls days later. That makes Tom Brady a bad husband and a jackass.
And yet did you know that Tim Tebow was also at the party that night? No, you didn't, and that's because the New York Jets newest hire groomed his hair sensibly, with a little product for extra shine, unlike the preening quarterback of the New England Patriots.
Yesterday, I had happened to find myself talking to another Met guest, fashion designer Marc Jacobs, who completely stole the show by appearing at the event in a black lace tunic over white Brooks Brothers boxer shorts. "People say I like attention," he candidly explained, "and they're right."
Of course, that's what Brady was after, too. He can hold his own on the football field, or they wouldn't be paying him $16 million a year, but when it comes to the foreign terrain of fashion, Brady is a gangly adolescent (although he does look fine in a Tom Ford suit). Still, I hope some athletically gifted young dandy out there witnessed his attempt at mixing up the metaphors of manhood, at trying to be the next David Beckham, and felt inspired.
Until now, Brady's only fashion fan seems to be the supermodel who married him. But if you would move over a bit, Gisele, I'll join you in the stands.

Cootfight Gets Ugly
Old men at war with each other: not a pretty sight.
They say that when you are old, you no longer care about things as much. This is not to say that you don't care about the important things, like the price of Fiber One and your shows being interrupted by commercials, but you are less likely to let, say, a minor slight from a stranger really disturb you. You are beyond such things. Life is short, you might say to yourself. I have a limited time left on earth. Do I want to waste it on fighting and strife?
One assumes you would feel this way particularly if you had escaped the Nazis in Poland and Communist Russia, as Steve Pulwers and Gersh Gofman did, respectively, and were maintaining a nice life in Brooklyn. And yet the two men, who are 99 and 83, are embroiled in a bitter court battle over a minor incident. Here is what happened:
Pulwers, 99, maintains that Gofman was blocking the driveway to a doctor's office with his car, and that the younger man flew into a rage when Pulwers asked him to move it.
Gofman's lawyer contends that his client — who wanted the car where it was so that his ailing wife wouldn't have to walk too far — moved it when asked.
Apparently, Gofman then hit Pulwers in the face with some kind of weapon. His defense?
"I'm an old man," he quipped.
Then for God's sake, act like it. Wrap your brittle arms around one another and go home. The Price Is Right is on, for heaven's sake.

text: Though it no longer quite stands as the international judge of motorcycle road racing that it once was, the Daytona 200 is still one of the last races where motorcycles require the spectacle of refueling and tire changes. Recent years have been marked by attempts at night racing and growing pains as DMG took over running the event and the AMA Pro Racing series. While many long for "the good ol'days," these photographs from 35 years ago, at the 1976 Daytona 200, give one a sense of what once was, and might be again.

Certain heart conditions
Mitral valve prolapse
Mitral valve regurgitation
Mitral valve repair
Atrial myxoma
Image: H. Kenith Fang, MD, speaks on-camera throughout video.
Audio: "Anyone that has certain heart conditions are potential candidates for Robotic Heart Surgery. People who have mitral valve prolapse, mitral valve regurgitation that needs a mitral valve repair are very good candidates for robotic heart surgery. People who have a mass in their heart, specifically in the atrium, something called atrial myxoma are very good candidates for removal of this mass using a very small incision with the aid of the robot."
Text: 3-D scope
Robotic arm
Audio: "What the robot does is brings a whole new realm of optics where we can actually see things through a scope in three dimensions. Also the dexterity of the robotic arm – we have essentially one joint in the wrist to do surgery with the robotic arm as two separate joints."
Text: Better visualization
Better dexterity
Very small incisions
Audio: "The robot allows the surgeon to do the operation with better visualization, better dexterity, through very small incisions."
Text: Benefits
Smaller incisions
Much less pain
Much faster recovery
Audio: "The benefit of having a robotic heart operation is really the benefit of minimally invasive surgery. The smaller incisions that's being done with the aid of the robot allows for much less pain associated with the operation and therefore a much faster recovery."

PC version of AirServer, one of the most advanced AirPlay receivers out there, just got a huge update: it's now called AirServer Universal and it features full Miracast support.
Stickers for Mac are so popular that Apple recently aired an ad for Macbook Air, featuring a bunch of them. However, not many users know that skins are available for their Apple TV too, and that they can completely change the appearance of the set-top box. So, if you're getting bored with the same black metal look of your Apple TV, here are some skins which we've hand picked for you.
We all know well that the cause of delay in the launch of next Apple TV is the fact that Apple wants to bring both online media as well as cable content to the set top box, and the talks of partnerships in this regard weren't reaching anywhere.
Apple's channel-adding spree isn't over yet, as the Apple TV picked up two new ones today. Users in the United States turning on their Apple TVs will now find two extra covers for the Feeln and FYI channels.
Squirrels, the company that took AirPlay mirroring to the next level with AirParrot, has just released AirParrot for Chrome OS that adds wireless display mirroring to any Chromebook.
Very few people noticed that Apple released Apple TV software update 7.0.1 for the 3rd gen Apple TV yesterday alongside iOS 8.1. Although the company hasn't updated the Apple TV support page yet, it seems that the update only addresses some security vulnerabilities.

A Beauty Junkie Goes Bare
By Jacqui Stafford
I'm a makeup addict. And because I'm a beauty writer who is often on TV, I can indulge my giddy delight in products: I own at least 60 lipsticks, about 75 eyeshadow palettes and a dozen or so bronzing powders. I apply as many as 20 makeup products a day and never leave home without my face on and my hair coiffed.
So I was a little alarmed when my friend Genevieve (aka More's beauty director) suggested I swap routines with someone who, well, has no makeup and skin-care routine. Had Genevieve lost her mind? The deal was, I'd be sent the same kinds of products used by Jennifer Laing, a beauty writer whose routine is surprisingly minimalist. When the promised bag, dangerously light, arrived, I rummaged through it greedily. Here was lip balm, but where was the actual lipstick? A brow pencil? (Thank God for that.) I dug further . . . where was the eyeshadow? Eyeliner? Mascara? How would I define my little eyes? Did she expect me to go . . . bare?
She did.
I braced myself and committed for a week. My assistant—gorgeous, 22 and not an age spot in sight—was convinced I'd never make it. When I told the girls at Salih Salon (the one I visit twice weekly for volumizing blowouts), they laughed. Heartily.
Still, I was game to replace my TV-ready routine with one that, for me, would not suffice even in the Australian outback. (Sorry, Jen.) I figured doing without for a week would validate the importance of doing with.
The first day was fairly easy. Jennifer's skin care was simple: cleanser plus moisturizing sunscreen. Anxiously, I canceled my triannual visit for injectables and my monthly appointment for a brightening Clear + Brilliant Perméa laser treatment. I took stock in the mirror. Without all that TLC, would my face hold up?
In the shower that morning, I missed my gel's aroma of handpicked lavender. However, Jennifer's unscented body wash felt richly creamy. Her light body lotion soaked in instantly, leaving my skin as perfectly hydrated as my delicious Jo Malone body cream does. But I missed my heavenly scents.
Next, I blew out my hair with a paddle brush and blow-dryer. A professional blowout Tuesdays and Fridays is one of the luxuries I consider nonnegotiable. It makes my whisper-fine, straight hair more Adele-like (at least in my mind). Now, my rusty DIY efforts yielded a frizzy, limp mess. So I teased my roots, pulled my hair into a high ponytail and slipped in a sparkling barrette. Better.
But not enough better that I could go public. So I didn't leave my apartment all day, and when a delivery guy rang the bell, I cracked the door and stuck my hand through. (Baby steps.)
The second day was even tougher, so I was forced to cheat. I appear weekly on QVC as a style expert, and I told myself that I couldn't expect viewers to buy anything from someone who looked so blah. So I applied (a lot) more makeup than Jennifer usually does—and tried not to feel guilty about it.
To assuage said guilt, the next day I went commando. No eye makeup at all; just a dash of taupe brow pencil (how I hate anything taupe) and a slick of colorless lip balm. The temptation was immense to grab that brow pencil and dot it along my upper lash line to add something (anything!) to my invisible lashes. But I didn't. Instead, I strode purposefully toward the door, pausing to say good-bye to my daughter's nanny, Ingrid.
"I'm going out. Just like this," I said. "Oh, Lord!" Ingrid said. "Good luck!" And then she disappeared into my little one's room, stifling a giggle.
I met up with my assistant at a store. "No! I can't believe you actually did it!" she exclaimed. She peered at me, then rendered a verdict: "I think you look beautiful. Your skin is gorgeous." But she was being kind. Besides, I pay her. "Aren't you that woman on TV?" one of the salesclerks asked a few minutes later. "Yes. Do you recognize me?" I asked incredulously. "Of course," she replied, confused.
Occasionally during the week, I'd catch sight of myself in a mirror, devoid of makeup, and think, Where did my eyes go? But as the days wore on, it felt remarkably liberating to just get up . . . and go.
I also began to forget that I didn't have my face on, so I became increasingly less self-conscious. If I didn't give my low-maintenance look any thought, then neither did anyone else. I questioned my assumptions: Did anyone honestly care if I was wearing makeup? Did they treat me any differently when I was au naturel? I was surprised to find that the answer was no, not really. The only person giving it a moment's thought was . . . me.
But as this exercise wound down, I realized that what I think is what matters most. And the truth is, I just feel better—prettier and more professional—when I've given myself every cosmetic advantage. My low-maintenance mother says I was born this way—that as a toddler, I'd insist on a change of hair bow just as she was trying to hurry my twin sister and me out the door. "But what's wrong with your yellow one?" Mom would plead, one foot in the car. "It doesn't match my dress," I'd wail. So as much as I grasp the convenience of dialing it back, I won't be doing it regularly. I like looking my best and enjoy every moment of the primping process.
A Minimalist Goes Glam
By Jennifer Laing
I've been a beauty writer for 20 years, but for the past decade my office has been a desk in the living room. That means my work wardrobe is jeans and a T-shirt, and my grooming routine is similarly low-key: cleanser, tinted moisturizer, cream blush, eyebrow pencil, some lip balm. I blow-dry my own hair, and I wear nail polish . . . almost never. So when More asked me to switch routines with Jacqui Stafford—who appears on TV regularly and is never without impeccable hair and makeup—I knew I was in for beauty boot camp.
First, there was the e-mail from Jacqui detailing her daily routine. It began, "Jen, don't panic," and went on to enumerate a long list of cosmetics and -personal-care items. Next, a bag of these "Jacqui products" arrived, jammed with scented body wash and lotion, five bottles of nail color, three bottles of moisturizer, an eyelash curler—you get the picture. Then I received a schedule of Jacqui's maintenance appointments, which include blowouts at an Upper East Side salon and regular visits to not one but two dermatologists. I was overwhelmed, but also a bit excited.
My new daily routine started with Erbe Lavender shower gel, followed by an application of Jo Malone Grapefruit body cream. Both were divine, and as Jacqui promised, they transformed a ho-hum morning washup into a spa-level experience.
I could have lingered in the shower just inhaling the aromas, but there was makeup to put on—and a lot of it: an Olay CC cream, a Clé de Peau concealer, a T. LeClerc pressed powder, an Urban Decay eyeshadow primer, several Bobbi Brown eyeshadows, two Nars blushes, a Make Up For Ever concealer pencil, a By Terry eyeliner, a Maybelline mascara, a Shiseido lip color and a Chanel lip gloss. According to Jacqui, applying all this would take me just six and a half minutes. It took 20. By the time I was done, my son was late for preschool and I still hadn't made the bed or cleaned up the breakfast dishes. Telling myself to start earlier the next morning, I raced out the door. As I was leaving the school, another mom asked where I was going all dressed up. Since I was wearing my usual jeans and a T-shirt, she was obviously responding to my Olympic-level makeup. I took this as positive reinforcement.
Jacqui's weekly routine also included two salon blowouts. So I went to her favorite spot, where Nurten, Jacqui's stylist, did a fabulous job: My hair was bouncy, with a hard-to-achieve-on-your-own bend at the ends. Checking myself in a window, I had to admit I did look better.
The makeup application got easier as the week wore on, but I never came close to Jacqui's record time. What's more, by the end of the day, I was dying to wash everything off.
Fast-forward to Friday. I had a blowout at 8:45 am and appointments with Jacqui's doctors Fredric Brandt, MD, and his associate Robert Anolik, MD, at 10:30 am. Alas, I woke with a sniffle. But here's the amazing thing: After applying my makeup, I looked so refreshed, no one guessed I was under the weather. Coupled with another bouncy blowout from Nurten, my beauty camouflage started to fool even me.
At the dermatologists' office, I was put through the Jacqui Maintenance Plan: Botox and a Clear + Brilliant Perméa laser treatment that targeted uneven texture, tone and pore size. I was not a dermatology virgin; I go for a yearly mole check, and I've had some Botox. But my appointments have been erratic (often based on time and cash flow) and spaced too far apart to keep up the effects. However, seeing the drastic improvement produced by this duo (I looked five years younger) made me think dermatologist visits were worth prioritizing.
The one area where I cheated: my nails. Jacqui said she did her own once a week. But I am a disaster with a polish brush. Plus, I was coming around to all this pampering. I asked myself, WWJD (What would Jacqui do?), then dashed across the street to my neighborhood salon for a manicure (with Essie Master Plan, a soft gray) and a pedicure (with Essie Capri, a creamy orange).
There was no denying it: By the end of our swap, I'd never looked better. But I also didn't recognize myself.
A few weeks after our switch, little of my makeover remained. I'd dialed back the cosmetics to my previous level, except I was now swiping on some actual lip color. I couldn't keep up with the blowouts, but I did schedule follow-up appointments with the dermatologists. For the rest, I'm back to my casual approach. My husband and sons seem to prefer a less-is-more look; the week of the swap, I got only air-kisses. Plus, I've decided wearing lots of makeup makes me feel as if I'm hiding something. While I appreciate how pulled together swingy hair or perfect eye makeup makes me look, I feel more like myself without them.

College Hockey:Dennehy's Departure Official; Fairfield to Name Hunt New Coach
FAIRFIELD, Conn. — The hazy off-season coaching carousel picture in men's ice hockey became a little more clear today when Fairfield University officially announced the resignation of head hockey coach Mark Dennehy, confirming a story that originally appeared on U.S. College Hockey Online.
After coaching the Stags for only one season, Dennehy leaves to become assistant coach at Mass.-Amherst under newly-appointed coach Don Cahoon.
Though an official announcement of a replacement will not be made until Monday, sources tell U.S. College Hockey Online that Jim Hunt, current assistant coach of the Under-17 U.S. National Development Team, will succeed Dennehy.
"We appreciate all that Mark Dennehy has done in directing our hockey program and wish him well in his new endeavors," said Fairfield athletic director Gene Doris.
Dennehy led the Stags to a 3-28-3 record this past season, but the record was not indicative of the young coach's success. When arriving at Fairfield, the team was coming off a 1-31-0 record in a season that saw the Stags outscored 227-64 by opponents. Though the Stags' record did not show significant improvement, goal differential did – as Dennehy's team closed the gap to 183-78, a net improvement of 58 goals.
Hunt, who has also coached high school and junior hockey in the New Jersey area before joining USA Hockey, will face the challenge of not only developing a more competitive team, but also closing the gap between the top and bottom of the MAAC.
During the 1998-99 campaign, the MAAC lacked parity for the most part, with four clubs, Connecticut, Quinnipiac, Holy Cross and Canisius, dominating much of the league. Last season, this gap closed significantly, with Sacred Heart climbing into the top of the standings and Iona College reaching the MAAC Tournament finals.
Fairfield's strong recruiting prior to last year brought in a host of young scorers, led by Rae Metz, who earned MAAC All-Rookie honors. But Hunt, who was unable to be reached today for comment, will need to develop a young defensive corps while recruiting goaltending, defense and forwards that can compete at the Division I level.

Last night's episode of "Gold Rush" was titled "Unearthed." As the episode opened, never seen before scenes, and secrets were to be revealed, and the post-season hindsight admissions are heard.
Todd Hoffman chose to leave ground that produced for him 803 ounces in the prior season. As Todd chose to find a life-changing experience, Dave Turin had his doubts. What was not revealed before, was the Hoffman crew checked out a hot tip about a claim in the Klondike at Carmacks. Todd, Dave and Freddy Dodge tested a sample pan out of the creek and found five colors. Freddy's brother Derek told them that ages ago, prospectors would find large nuggets there and when Todd asked how big; he handed him an eight-ounce nugget. Todd decided to turn his back on the Yukon and go for a higher reward in South America, where he knew there were both gold and diamonds.
In Haines, AK, then 18, Parker Schnabel left his family and beloved grandfather to strike it rich in the Klondike. However, Parker did not reveal how concerned he was about Grandpa John's failing health. But Parker set a goal that was four times what he got the previous season; 800 ounces. As Tony Beets related, Parker wanted to beat the Hoffmans. However, Tony Beets threw Parker a curve ball early in the season when he required him to get a $600,000 bond, and without it, they would not be able to mine Scribner Creek. The bond covered the lease of the land and any discrepancies that might occur during the process. Parker at 18, has not even been approved for a credit card, much less a $600,000 bond. Parker called his father, who came through for him, but Parker felt that he was not being taken seriously, and had no choice but to play by Tony's rules. Parker went there to prove he could do this on his own, but his pride was hurt that he had to rely on his family.
Before the season started, the Dakota Boys had a plan. Dustin would mine Cahoon Creek and Fred would stay at Porcupine. But it is now revealed that they did not have the paperwork to mine Cahoon, but Dustin felt that Fred was trying to derail his project. Fred did not reveal until now, that he needed Dustin in Porcupine because he was dealing with a life-and-death situation. His wife in North Dakota was seriously ill and Fred expected a call to attend her funeral. Two months into the season he got a call that she was in the hospital, and Fred asked the crew not to record the conversation. She told him that he had kids and grandkids to hold her hand, and for him to stay where he was, rather than hold her hand.
The Hoffman crew has their own opinions about Todd's leadership abilities, but when he left after only five weeks in the jungle, it left them puzzled. Todd had his own opinion about viewers' remarks and said that armchair quarterbacks can sit at home and say what they want.
As for Parker's leadership abilities, he is still a rookie. He admitted to running his crew into the ground and the older men did not appreciate taking orders from a teenager. To keep his team from a mutiny, Parker gave them a cut of the gold. Although not seen before, some members did not last long enough to get on the show, some were fired and others quit. But Parker had to do it his way.
In the jungle, there were many moments of distress, but when they hired miner Tony Tavares, to help them, they got the news that his camp was broken into and his wife was murdered and his gold was stolen. Todd stated that it was not television bull crap, it was the real deal. Suddenly, the miners had to rethink why they were there.
In Porcupine Creek, when Fred decided to close up the glory hole, and Dustin convinced Fred to take one more shot, but the dredge did not work. Rather than follow Dustin's intuition, Fred closed it up.
In Guyana, the miners believed that by being Americans and having the best equipment, they were invincible. Not revealed in the show, Dave had a meltdown; his frustration at the troubles in the jungle finally got to him. The heavy equipment was constantly stuck in mud and not working out as it did in the Klondike.
Although Dakota Fred's work ethic is without equal, his leadership skills leave something to be desired. When Jeremy had a panic attack and took too many breaks, Melody voiced her displeasure. Dustin stated he would not ask Melody to return next season and knew Jeremy would not return either.
In Guyana, after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, the crew found diamonds worth less than the small amount of gold they procured from the jungle. It was a total loss.
In Scribner Creek, Parker hit the jackpot, and although they fell short of 1,000 ounces while the entire crew was there, and with the help of Rick Ness, Parker made over his thousand-ounce goal.
In Guyana, Freddy Dodge left mid-season. It is now revealed, that he left to mine Carmacks, where he went before the season with Dave and Todd. He knew the jungle was a futile effort and wanted no part of the failure. With the proper equipment, on proven ground, his hunch paid off. Carmacks was named after a former inhabitant whose discovery in 1896 triggered the Klondike Gold Rush. Hindsight reveals that had Todd listened to Freddy, they would have struck it rich, but chose the jungle instead.
Gene Cheeseman, Parker's foreman hated the cameras, they either made him clam up or freak out. However, after all is said and done, Gene was the key player in Parker's season.
With the new season around the corner, Dustin got core samples to send away for testing. Unfortunately, they were not as expected and mining there would be more dangerous than what it could produce. So the Dakota Boys will mine McKinley Falls. He showed how they plan to build a flume to divert the water, so they can mine the plunge pool, but Fred has his doubts that it will produce anything but bankruptcy.
Parker will be home with his family this coming season after proving his grandfather's theory that there was gold at Smith Creek.
The future of the Hoffman crew is in jeopardy, as they have lost more than anyone can imagine. Dave will continue to mine for gold, but does not know if it is with the Hoffmans. As for what Todd intends to do, is to be determined.

Joan Rivers, the iconic 81-year-old comedian, is reportedly resting comfortably in a New York hospital after suffering cardiac and respiratory arrest, following a procedure at a medical clinic Thursday. Joan's daughter Melissa Rivers issued a statement Friday saying she was touched by all the outpouring of prayers and support for her famous mother, according to CNN on Friday, Aug. 29.
Details continue to be sketchy as to how serious Joan Rivers' condition actually is. What is known is that the elder Rivers is in a medically induced coma. The all important question seems to be whether Ms. Rivers suffered brain-damaging lack of oxygen to her brain.
Here's the details: Joan Rivers stopped breathing during throat surgery at a NY clinic. Rivers was taken by ambulance in critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
But as more details emerge, and with news of the seriousness of what happened to Rivers, what actually happened to the comedian still remain unknown. Melissa maintains that her condition remains serious, but she is receiving the best treatment and care possible.
Melissa has also pleaded that fans keep her in their thoughts as we all pray for her recovery. According to NY first responders, Joan stopped breathing during a throat procedure at a nearby Manhattan clinic. She was rushed by ambulance in critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
A Wednesday night audience member at Joan's show in NYC, Michael Lucas, told CNN that typically she joked about death. "You know I'm 81 years old, and I could drop dead at any moment and you would be so lucky because you will have a story to tell your friends for the rest of your life," Lucas said. "Then she mimicked people talking about what it was like to see her drop dead on stage."
Dr. Max Gomez of CBS 2 said even if Rivers' throat procedure was promised to be routine and of an outpatient nature, risks of serious complications are always present. There is the possibility of heart arrhythmias, and breathing can stop. "You never know...the elderly tend to metabolize medications a little bit differently," Gomez said.
Joan Rivers is considered one of the most prolific and funny persons to ever grace the comedy stage. May she make a quick and full recovery. One thing's for sure, we all love you Joan!
