Serbu super shorty 6 inch barrel it is an nfa weapon called an AOW or any other weapon, requires $5.00 Tax for transfer.
October 7, 2006, 12:45 AM
And Sam Andrews (http://www.andrewsleather.com/firepower.htm)makes a holster for it!
October 7, 2006, 03:08 AM
Would it be legal to put, say a folding stock on it since it is a registered "AOW" already?

Yes, if you want to do all the paperwork to re-register it with the ATF as a short-barreled shotgun. A SBS can have a pistol grip, but since an AOW is technically a pistol, you can't legally attach a stock without doing some paperwork and paying a new tax.
October 7, 2006, 05:24 AM
Thanks for the info, not surprised...the ATF sure wants their $200 don't they?
October 7, 2006, 09:23 AM
I found it thanks !!!

Mad Max would be so proud. I can't see the usefulness of such a toy, but if it's fun, then go for it. Actually, try to find the rig they used In Lighting Jack for that sawed off double barrel! It would probably look better than that Uncle Mikes reject rig.

That's the beauty of "toys", they don't have to be useful!

I'd like to see a picture of one being fired at twilight just to see how far the fireball comes out of the barrel.:evil:
What velocity would you get from 00buck in that short a barrel? Would it take down a BG or just piss him off?
October 7, 2006, 05:10 PM
Serbu Super Shorty, http://serbu.com/top/superShorty.php.
See it in action http://www.serbu.com/legacy/SS1.MPG
"The gun holds two 2-3/4" or 3" shells in the magazine, plus one in the chamber. The 16.5" overall length, 6.5" barrel and spring-locked foregrip, which pivots out of the way when not in use, make for a very compact package."
October 7, 2006, 05:28 PM
I guess that would have been very handy in the armored trucks I used to work in, if I could get about a 1 inch more of barrel, to clear the gun port.
As in the coolness factor, that would be double awesome in a shoulder rig, but I think I would definately be getting the low recoil ammo!
October 7, 2006, 10:21 PM
Would it be legal to put, say a folding stock on it since it is a registered "AOW" already?
No. You would need to make or buy a short-barreled shotgun (SBS) instead.
October 8, 2006, 01:50 AM
Actually, if it has a very small stock, then the BATFE may not require for you to reregister it, but in the case of the BATFE, I'd take no chances. If you get an AOW shotgun then don't mess with adding a stock at all.
October 8, 2006, 02:27 AM
With that short of barrel, you would lose so much velocity, birdshot would barely peirce the skin.

What is in this article?:
- East Coast wine grape growers aim to be competitive
- Space between vine rows research
- The relatively large amounts of rainfall in the Eastern U.S. — in North Carolina, around 40 inches annually — can be a problem for wine grape growers. That moisture tends to fuel the growth of the vine canopy — the leaves on a grape vine — and an unusually leafy canopy can be a problem for growers.
- N.C. State scientists hope to determine the optimum width the strip beneath grape vines should be so that vine canopy growth is inhibited just the right amount to produce the best grape yield and quality.
Space between vine rows research
Researchers hope to find a more cost-effective way of managing vine canopy vigor. Spayd said most growers plant grass — usually fescue — in the space between rows of vines while leaving a weed-free area or strip of bare ground 1 or 2 feet wide directly beneath the vines. But what grows between the vines influences canopy growth and vigor and grape yield and quality. Spayd explained that grass or other plants growing among grape vines use moisture and nutrients that would otherwise be available to the vines.
So what Spayd and other N.C. State scientists hope to determine is the optimum width the strip beneath grape vines should be so that vine canopy growth is inhibited just the right amount to produce the best grape yield and quality. Preliminary research in North Carolina has demonstrated that weed competition and strip width beneath the vines can influence grape vine growth and yield.
Working at RayLen Vineyards in Mocksville, the scientists will compare different scenarios ranging from nothing but bare ground beneath the vines to a vineyard floor completely covered by grass. In some cases, researchers will allow weeds in the usually weed-free strip to compete with the vines to see how the presence of weed competition impacts the vine canopy.
Spayd said a team of scientists from N.C. State's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has been assembled to work on the project. Weed scientists are involved with establishing fescue and monitoring weeds growing on the vineyard floor and assessing impacts on the vines. Soil scientists will study how different treatments influence the moisture available to vines and vine nutrition. Plant pathologists will look at any differences in disease pressure. Spayd will determine how the different treatments impact vine physiology and fruit quality. Economists have been enlisted to document demand for East Coast wines. Another faculty member will assess how the project impacts the grape and wine industries on the East Coast.
Regional effort to improve grapes
"The point is to help (Eastern) growers compete better with other (wine growing) areas," Spayd said. "This is a very regional approach. It's a very coordinated approach."
While Virginia Tech is leading the effort, Cornell University, the University of Maryland, The Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University, and the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station are also involved in the project.
According to Tony Wolf, professor of viticulture at Virginia Tech and project director, the scientists involved in the project will also study frost and winter injury problems, unique grape varieties and the high costs of grape production that result from the relatively small scale of most Eastern vineyards. Consumer buying preferences and perceptions about regional wines relative to other domestic and foreign brands will also be part of the study.

This is an excellent COE campground. We stayed in site #5 that is a wide, paved site that looks out onto the marina. It has full hookups and is quite spacious. The utilities all worked well, and the views are great. We had originally reserved another site, but upon arrival learned that there had been a cancellation on a full hookup site. It was a great decision! I will stay here again. - SargeW

This is a nice Corps of Engineers park but not quite as nice as others we have stayed at. The sites are electricity only and we were able to secure one with 50 amp service. There are water faucets spotted around the park to fill your tank. There is absolutely no recycling of any kind in the park; shame on you, Federal Government. We were able to get a great DirecTV signal from space 50 and our Verizon Wireless signal was adequate as well. We would stay here again. - Kent and Margaret

This campsite is along the COE Carlyle Lake Reservoir, about 12 miles south of I-70, and about 60 miles east of St. Louis. It has both electric and full-hookup sites. I stayed in an electric site and then moved to a full hookup. Electric sites are in woods along lake, but I could not get satellite. Full-hookup sites are newer and more open with asphalt pads and grass. There is a marina and boat launch. I would easily stay here again. Price is senior rate for COE campgrounds. Electric only site was $8. - judy_online

The campsites are very spacious and well maintained. I cannot remember our site number, but it was in the 70's, I think. The fee is an estimate, too. I know it was less than twenty dollars a night.
The bathrooms and shower houses were clean and well-maintained. There is a nice beach area for families to access the lake.
We'll definitely be back! - mizsec1

We only stayed one night on our way north but wish we could have stayed longer. We had a pull thru with sewer and a great view a bay and the beautifull park across the bay. I wish I would have had time to kayak on the lake.
It is a bit out of the way but worth the journey. Will stay here again when we head north again. - Lainee131

We stayed 1 night before the Memorial Day weekend and had no problem getting a site. The sites were large and spacious. Verizon reception was OK and no problem getting a signal for DirecTV. Good 50A service with steady voltage around 120V. We had a full hookup site with good water pressure. We were just passing through but would have liked to be able to stay for several days as it was a very nice campground and our site had a large shade tree with a great view of the water. - Ramblin On

Hickory Shores "Resort" -- definitely need to remove the last part of the campground name. This park is a far from being a "Resort" in any context of the word -- bluntly, this "place" is a dump!! We were in the parking lot (by choice) as there was a 50 AMP connection -- one of the few in the "place". The Host was extremely helpful and apologized for the condition of the "place" -- owner appears reluctant to invest in updating all the known issues/deficiencies. We last stayed here in the early '90s and it's not been updated/maintained for years. Mostly folks living here are on a yearly basis -- projects a neglected "trailer park" appearance. - ChiefJohn

This campground sites were very small. I have a 31 foot motorhome, we could not put up our awning due to a tree in the way. My slideout was about 1 to 2 inches from another tree on other side. The water & electric hook up was on other side of camper so we had to get out a garden hose for water. They had a very nice pool. The office/store closed by 3pm most time sooner than that. There was a pond with no fish in it one of the permanents said he there was fish in there but he had not seen anyone pull any out in a long time. Carlyle lake is near by its a huge man made lake looks like a smaller lake Michigan. There are lots of water things to do there. The campground was loud at night because cars and trucks. All in all this was a no thrills campground I would not drive out of my way to stay here. Lake Carlyle cool, Hickory shores resort not cool. We will not be going back. - rv1

Very pretty camp with lots of shade trees. The big draw back is it's distance from main highways. Park needs some restoration. They did have WiFi but the modem broke and they did not repair or replace it. I was directed to a site which was a nice choice but narrow on a winding road. The manager did not follow me or show me the site or help with my backing up. I was traveling alone so had to get in and out of the truck to check distances and obstructions. They need a lesson in park management. I just stayed over night and left the next day instead of staying longer. Park was empty except for two of us. Getting out of the site next day was fun due to the close confines and 360 degree tight turn to exit the area. - murph164

There were limited campgrounds open in Feb so not a lot of choices en route from north to warmer climates. We were the only campers in the park. Host was very friendly and escorted us to our site. This park would be a beautiful place to stay in the summer as it is wooded and overlooks a beautiful large lake (which was frozen when we were there). No water available so had to use the public showers - they were not as clean as I would have liked but perhaps hadn't been used in awhile? Some leaves had blown in from outside. Only a couple of pull through sites. Our 37' RV with car attached barely fit. Would be tight for larger rigs or you would need to stay in a back in site. Drive slowly as you enter and exit the park as there were lots of deer, some ran out in front of our rig. - Nautical Wheelers

We found this park most scenic -- near the beautiful Lake Carlyle -- and near enough to town that we could run in for groceries, restaurants, etc. Even though we had a horrific storm at night, our grounds stayed fine. Showers and toilets could be better (and maybe more of them -- nearer), but all-in-all, it was nice. We can't comment on the pool and grocery part as it wasn't open yet. But we do recommend this park. - stocky

We stopped here as it was the closest we could find to meeting friends. We were told we were getting a concrete slab pull thru. It was the most un-level site we had on our trip from AZ to IL. Site surface was gravel, sunny/open, with very close lot spacing. The roads were gravel with potholes. The road to the office from the entrance was quite steep. It was okay, but we won't stay here again. - Retired2Travel

We stayed one night as a stop over. The park is fine for one night. We had a pull though in the shade. Lots of long term trailers parked here. No wifi and electric service went out for two hours which might not be the parks fault. If it rained there would have been a lot of mud. Management did not answer phone put walked to office when they noticed us pull in. They parked us away from the long term campers. Dump station easy to get to. - Mark from Missouri

Where do the high ratings for this RV Park come from? When we pulled in here my Wife said, "Wow, they sure hired a good photographer for their website." The photos on the website are real, but they look so much better than the place does in real life. This is a campground in a rural setting a mile off of a major interstate that has 90% residents and 10% overnighters.
It would not be possible for us to describe this CG as a nice place and good value. Perhaps, it's best described as adequate or maybe serviceable.
Some examples of the issues here would be the subpar roads within the park. There are many "tight turn" signs and the trees lining the entrance roads are all scared from past scrapes with RVs. Just walking into the CG office gives you a feeling you've chosen the wrong CG for the night. You'll also find slapdash construction of plywood structures (multiple such structures) that give a decidedly shoddy appearance to the place. This includes bath houses with only one very old and well-used toilet and toilet/shower stalls made of plywood. Oddly the stalls had doors that were only ~20" or so wide.
After having stayed here we have no idea how it got rated as highly as it has but we can't agree with them. - Creativepart

Short term sites are very close! We had to be careful opening our slide without bumping into our neighbors awning! Our end site was bearly long enough to accommodate us.

This is a very quiet campground, mainly in the shade surrounding several ponds. We called after 6PM on Sunday and left a message and expected the office was closed. Shortly after the owner returned our call, and said she had a site for us, but we needed to be there before sundown and gave us excellent directions to find the entrance. Once there, you follow a well maintained gravel road to the office in the back, watch for the office signs. We were greeted by name, and escorted to our site. There is a dump station along the exit road. - Trailbuddy

Nice state park, and good campground. We have camped and fished here many times, and we always have an enjoyable time. Campground hosts are usually very nice and cooperative. Showers and restrooms are clean and well maintained. Sites are spacious, and mostly very shady. Fire rings, BBQ grills, picnic tables at each site. Water is available at several locations throughout the campground, and at the dump station. Nice lake, boat docks, and store with the essentials, plus fishing bait, ice, snacks, etc. Also have decent archery range. - Beekeeper2

A year ago Matt Atkinson was getting injections into his torn hamstring in order to get on the field, rehabilitating the injury whenever possible just to get in a position to catch a pass or run out of Lycoming's Wildcat formation.
He was never healthy as the Warriors came just five points short of winning their 15th Middle Atlantic Conference championship. But he battled. He missed two games to various ailments, but mostly from the hamstring.
He somehow averaged 7.7 yards every time he touched the football on offense. Not bad for a guy playing on one leg.
Article Photos
Matt Atkinson has emerged as Lycoming's leading receiver this fall. The Warriors visit Widener today.
This year, though? Totally different scenario so far for Lycoming's senior wide receiver.
"No nicks, no bruises," Atkinson said earlier this week. "Last year, every week it was something new. So it's nice not to be dealing with that this year. It's great to be healthy."
And now, the Warriors are getting the Atkinson they were expecting to get a year ago. Through three games he already has as many receptions (18) as he had all last year. He's averaging 13.1 yards on his 20 touches so far, including a long of 43 yards.
He's taken the reigns as Lycoming's top receiver among a talented group which lost dynamic playmaker Jarrin Campman from last year's 8-2 team. He's been everything the Warriors could have hoped for through the first three games of the season. And most importantly, he's been healthy.
"He's always had a really unique skill set," Lycoming head coach Mike Clark said. "He finally understands what it takes to play wide receiver, and he's getting guidance from the best quarterback and wide receiver coach we've ever had here (Scott Brisson). Some guys take longer to figure it out. We always knew he had talent and we've seen flashes of it in the past. But if you look at him now, he's not just a really good athlete playing wide receiver, he's a really good wide receiver."
It's taken Atkinson some time to adjust to his role as a wide receiver. He came to Lycoming as a quarterback from Penncrest High School who had thrown for 3,135 yards and 39 touchdowns as a two-year starter.
After an injury to the labrum in his shoulder all but ended any idea of him being a full-time quarterback, he was tried out on defense for a time before finding a home as a wide receiver. He took to the position well, finishing third on the team with 26 receptions for 269 yards and four touchdowns.
But it wasn't just catching the ball where Atkinson found his value. He also carried the ball out of Lycoming's Wildcat formation 28 times for 228 yards. And scratching his quarterback itch, he completed all four passes he threw out of the Wildcat for more than 100 yards and a touchdown.
What the Warriors thought they had was a triple threat offensive player who was poised to play an even bigger role as a junior, especially when sophomore quarterback Tyler Jenny became the team's starter at the beginning of the season.
But then there were the injuries, starting with the torn hamstring which never seemed to heal. Atkinson has never been blessed with tremendous speed, but playing on a bum wheel he was limited in what he could do.
As Campman took control as the Warriors' top receiver and John Sibel emerged as a well-rounded target, Atkinson's involvement became less and less in the offense. His 18 receptions were eight fewer than his sophomore year. His 18 rushes were 10 fewer than his sophomore year, and he was just 1 of 5 throwing the ball.
After accounting for six touchdowns as a sophomore, he had just one last year, a rushing touchdown against Widener.
"It was too frustrating," Atkinson said. "Football's been my life since I was 5-years old. It's the one thing I always will love. It was frustrating to have a very good end of my sophomore year and then come back for potentially a breakout year and I just got damaged by injuries."
He's making up for it now. His 18 receptions through Lycoming's first three games matches last year's total. His six catches per game is the third-best total in the MAC, and his four receiving touchdowns - two each against Wilkes and Misericordia - leads the MAC.
He'll be on the other side of the field today from Widener's Anthony Davis, likely the most explosive, athletic and elusive receiver in the conference, if not the country. And while maybe Atkinson's individual skills don't quite match up with Davis' the results have similarly successful.
Atkinson has become a complete receiver, able to get open on short routes, intermediate routes, and even catching a 43-yard seam route for a touchdown a week ago. Is he the flashiest player on the field? No. But he's one of the most effective.
"We actually call him Larry Bird. The coaches refer to him as Larry Bird because he's sneaky athletic, not incredibly fast, but he's a great player," Clark said. "If he's the Larry Bird of our wide receivers, then so be it. That's a heck of a compliment."
The biggest adjustment has come in the footwork for Atkinson. It's been years of drilling the steps necessary to get run his routes properly which has helped him play faster than maybe his actual foot speed would suggest he is.
"I feel like I finally hit the peak of being an actual wide receiver. Being a quarterback my whole life, I never had the receiver feet," Atkinson said. "It's something I've been working on since my sophomore year. I feel like my routes are cleaner. You never needed the choppy steps as a quarterback. But now it's something that evolved into my play."
"There was a bit of a learning curve positionally, but he understands the nuances and he has great ball skills," Clark said. "There's just a ton of positives. There's three years of knowledge at the position. He's a better blocker, a better route-runner. He understands his part whether he's getting the ball or not, and it's part of what we're trying to accomplish. All of those are why he's playing at the level he's playing at."

A Redmond woman has been sentenced to three years' probation and forbidden from owning any animals for five years after 24 cats, three rats and a dog were seized from her mobile home last spring, Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty said Friday.
Neighbors of Catherine Hicks, 59, contacted sheriff's deputies last April 2, concerned about the welfare of animals in her home, at Desert Terrace Mobile Estates on S. Hwy. 97, Flaherty said. The next day, deputies removed 24 cats, three rats and a dog from the home, where they "were living in filth, the DA said.
"The home was covered in urine and feces, there were large numbers of flies throughout the house which covered windows, it was full of trash, and the animals inside were suffering from ailments commonly found in these types of cases, such as upper respiratory infection," Flaherty said.
A neighbor told NewsChannel 21 at the time, "You can see them when you are walking past the trailer in the window, gasping for air in the window – just laying there. There are flies just covering every single window."
Hicks was arrested and indicted by the DA's office on 28 counts of second-degree animal neglect. In May, Hicks agreed to forfeit most of the animals, though she posted $2,500 to maintain ownership of four cats being held with the other animals at BrightSide Animal Center.
On Thursday, Hicks pleaded guilty to second-degree animal neglect and was placed on probation for 36 months, with conditions that she forfeit all of the seized animals, receive mental health treatment and pay restitution of over $16,000, the cost of care for the animals by BrightSide while the case was pending.
Also, Flaherty said, Hicks will be prohibited from owning any animals for five years, subject to more criminal prosecution if she is found possessing animals.
Most of the kittens and cats have found new homes, Flaherty said, offering thanks to the sheriff's office, BrightSide and Deputy District Attorney Drew Moore for their work on the case.

But the history goes back further than that – this is a place of nurture where dinosaur mums came to lay their eggs and look after their young.
We love this sense of nurture – in its broader sense – nurture your children but also yourselves – a bit of pampering, a bit of 'me-time', a bit of lounging by the pool and a lot of time for fun with the family.
The aim is to make this all possible in the space of this wonderful environment, just 8km as the crow flies from the sea yet in the middle of unspoilt countryside, the Mas de Thau is a luxurious retreat from the bustle of everyday life.

On the domain there is a pool, Jacuzzi and kids pool, bar, wellness centre with massage rooms, hammam and sauna, farm animals, olive trees, veggie garden, boules, bikes and acres of space to run around.
These "all you need for a relaxing family holiday" packages include the kids club, a dinner provided in your villa on the first night, daily cleaning service, a welcome barbeque on Sunday, fresh bread and pastries from the local boulangerie and more… you won't want to leave.
We also cater for weddings, seminars, receptions and parties in our beautiful 150 m² reception room which opens onto a large panoramic terrace overlooking the 25 acre domain.
We are located near the town of Mèze, which is on the inland sea between Montpellier and Béziers.

A growing group of Senate Democrats are opposing President Obama's plan to let taxes go up on high income Americans.
The Hill reports that at least seven Democratic senators, including Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., may support an extension of the Bush tax cuts.
The lawmakers say they don't want to raise taxes on anyone in a weak economy. They would break with party leaders who want to let taxes go up for people making a million dollars a year or more.
Tester said he'd prefer Congress pass a plan to cut spending and reform the tax code.
"I would much prefer dealing with the tax code, with all the expenditures, in a bigger package similar to the Simpson-Bowles [deficit reduction] proposal," The Hill quoted Tester.
"If we can do that and we can roll out a big package that is significant, then we can do something with the tax rate from a reforming-it standpoint and do some things that really get our deficit and debt under control," he said.

Viewer Comments: Fibromyalgia - Treatments
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Fibromyalgia:
Comment from: CPCarter, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: March 29
After several years of fighting with the pain I was finally diagnosed seven weeks ago with fibromyalgia. I am currently taking Cymbalta daily and Flexeril and melatonin at night. It is a daily struggle at times but I am trying to remain positive and push onward even when I don't feel like I have it in me. Learning to relax has been hard for me since I have always been on the move and am only 44. I try to surround myself with positive and happy people and talk when I feel like I am losing my mind. If you think you have FMS please seek out a good rheumatologist. The orthopedic surgeons I was seeing made me feel as if I was crazy. Be persistent and be patient. Don't let them stress you out because it could possibly aggravate your symptoms. And remember, YOU are NOT alone and YOU ARE NOT CRAZY.
Comment from: oldcowgirl, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: January 27
Trazadone has helped with sleep. Good sleep has amazing beneficial results. Also exercise. The more my body moves the better it feels.
Comment from: 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 24
I am much like the rest of you. I was diagnosed by a rheumatologist in June. My younger sister was diagnosed in the early 90's. It is very hard to understand the pain and mental fog that fibro patients go thru until you experience it yourself. I have been blessed with a doctor that has empathy and cares and understands. My symptoms began in later teens and did not have major pain until two years ago. Fibro is a cyclical disease with symptoms that run in cycles. Than you reach a point where it turns to an active disease and your life is forever changed.
Comment from: Andrea, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: October 04
I was diagnosed in 1989. This is what I've observed helps for me with this illness: Antidepressants helped in the beginning. Acupressure definitely helped as well as massage and perhaps acupuncture. Walking and especially swimming help a lot. As does yoga and Tai Chi.
Comment from: Achey in Pa., 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: August 24
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1998 and put on Amitriptoline, which really helped for about five years, but adversely affected my heart. Then was on Toprol for a few years and had to stop that due to side effects. I went off meds for awhile then tried Prozac as I started menopause. It helped somewhat, but I switched to Cymbalta. I'm trying to go without meds for awhile. I'm worried about my liver and kidneys. I feel better when I get into a regular exercise routine and eat healthy diet. My job involves a lot of driving, making my pervasive pain worse. Stress is a big enemy too. Sleep does not come easily without meds. Don't give up. I'm going to try tai chi.
Comment from: Slogan, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 24
My doctor prescribed muscle relaxers and Trazodone for my sleep problem. He recommended vitamin therapies, nutraceuticals, and some hormonal replacement therapies, too. I started walking for about a half an hour two to three times per week. I do feel better now; it has been about five months since I was diagnosed.
Comment from: BBE60, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: August 15
I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia since 1998 after being rear ended by a truck. I was just recovering from back surgery when that happened. I had what was like a bad case of aches and pains right after the accident which I thought was the flu. After two weeks it spread all over my body with great fatigue. I went through many doctors and potent pain drugs. Eventually, in 1996, through building up to exercising and eating right, I finally got off the strong pain drugs. The results = GREAT!!!
Comment from: willowtremor, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: July 11
I was diagnosed in 1997 with fibromyalgia. Back then a lot of older physicians did not even believe that fibromyalgia existed so I had a hard time at first getting treatment. I finally found a physician that not only believed in fibromyalgia but also was willing to help me. In any case, my physician at the time did not prescribe it, she either was not aware of Lyrica or it hadn't been used for fibromyalgia at that time. My initial treatments consisted of physical therapy and pain meds (which did not work no matter how strong or what type they were). Three and a half years ago I was prescribed Lyrica. Now my story may not be typical of the success of Lyrica for me so do not think you will have the exact same results as I had. With that said, Lyrica controlled most of my pain about 75% of it for a year and a half that I was able to go off the Lyrica and without pain meds I was able to go two years without any treatment. I was still in some pain but able to function with the minimal pain I had. I have had to start taking Lyrica again recently because in the last 6 months the fibromyalgia has flared up to the point I was at before Lyrica. So here is hoping Lyrica will work as well this time as it did in the past.

GRAND RAPIDS,MI - With the number of flu cases rising and children about to return to school Monday, Kent County health officials are reminding residents to get vaccinated.
The health department has received 230 reports of flu so far this season, up from seven at the end of October.
Administrative Health Officer Adam London said although it can take 10 days to two weeks for a vaccine to take effect, it is not too late to get vaccinated.
"Many adults have this misconception that the flu vaccine is just for kids, the elderly, or people who have medical conditions," he said. "Even healthy adults need protection."
Flu season is in full swing nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
USA Today reports CDC figures showing six children have died from the flu. The predominant flu strain is H1N1, the same one that cause the international pandemic in 2009-2010.

A kitten is no doubt grateful to be safe after spending most of Thanksgiving trapped in a pipe.
A small army of police, firefighters and animal rescue volunteers worked for hours to rescue the frisky feline from a pipe in El Cajon, Calif.
The persistent and piercing cries for help began around 4 a.m. Thanksgiving.
A terrified kitten had managed to tumble several feet down an exposed plastic utility pipe on a sidewalk.
Initially, a crew from Emergency Animal Rescue attempted to save it, a tedious and intense rescue operation that ultimately included El Cajon police and Heartland fire.
"We're just trying every different way we can to get down there and try to get something behind the kitten and drag him up and try to lasso him and pull him up," said one rescue worker.
Emergency crews used some old-fashioned ingenuity, creating a kind of "catchpole" out of wire and cable.
"This cable came from animal control, and with duct tape, we fashioned a "get the cat out of the drain" tool," said a rescue worker.
Trying to temp the elusive feline with tuna, it took crews dozens and dozens of tries, and hours and hours of effort.
Finally, close enough to reach down and pull up the terrified ball of fur, apparently none the worse for wear, happy and no doubt, grateful.
It's believed the kitten is a stray. An officer with the El Cajon Police Dept. that helped in the rescue plans to adopt her.

Man dies following North East Township crash
NORTH EAST -- An Erie man has died following a one-vehicle crash in North East Township on Sunday afternoon.
The 82-year-old man, whose name was not released, was a passenger in a Toyota Rav 4 that went off the road and rolled over while traveling south on Smith Road on Sunday at 3:54 p.m., state police said this morning. He was taken after the accident to UPMC Hamot, where he was pronounced dead.
The driver of the Toyota, a 51-year-old Florida woman whom state police also did not name, was not injured in the crash, according to troopers.

TRENTON— A city man was critically injured by a bullet to the abdomen during a drive-by shooting just before noon yesterday in the West Ward, police said.
The West Ward was also the scene of a shooting the night before. Two men were shot in a housing project on Oakland Street at around 7 p.m. when a gunman walked up to a crowd of people and opened fire, police said yesterday. They are expected to survive their injuries.
No arrests have been made in that case, or in yesterday's broad daylight drive-by shooting which happened on the first block of North Hermitage Avenue.
In that case, the 18-year-old victim was standing outside the Valerio & Jimenez Deli-Grocery when a car drove by with at least one man shooting from inside, Lt. Steve Varn said. An unknown number of shots were fired, striking the man once but not hitting anyone else, Varn said. Police were not sure if the victim was the intended target of the drive-by.
In the Oakland Street shooting, the victims, both city residents, were among a group standing outside when the suspect walked up and started shooting, Varn said. A 24-year-old man was shot in the chest and groin, while a 25-year-old was shot in the groin, he said.
Both men were taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where they underwent emergency surgery and were listed in stable condition.
Full suspect descriptions were not available for either shooting. Anyone with information on these crimes should call police at (609) 989-4170, or the Confidential Tip Line at (609) 989-3663.

In the following video, Motley Fool contributing writer John Reeves takes a look at some of the most popular small-cap stocks today with hedge funds, as a potential place for individual investors to find stock ideas. He discusses why Radian Group (NYSE: RDN ) was the number one pick, with $115.83 million worth of shares purchased by hedge funds in 2013, and why the continuing housing recovery trend in the United States that is getting Radian so much attention could make several other stocks interesting buys, as well.
With the American markets reaching new highs, investors and pundits alike are skeptical about future growth. They shouldn't be.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: not2easy
I have joined with affiliates like ian.com where they provide photos and content of various hotels, condos, etc that you can use for your website. However, not all the condos are listed there and therefore I have manually searched for individual condo owner's websites and taken their photos of the condo and posted them on my site. They are trying to get people to rent their units and I am trying to help them, except I am allowing visitors to review the unit on my website.
Does anyone know if you have to get permission to use their photos or can you just go to joe blow's website and take his condo photos and post them on your site? Of course, I am providing a direct link back to their website and giving them exposure.....but I dont' know if someone may not want me to use their photos? My defense is that since they posted the photos on the internet for all to see, then they wouldn't mind me posting them on my site. I really do not wanna have to email each condo owner individuallly because there are literally hundreds.
Any advice? Anyone in similiar shoes? Thanks.
Does anyone know if you have to get permission to use their photos
My defense is that since they posted the photos on the internet for all to see, then they wouldn't mind me posting them on my site.
Your defense is flawed ;) If you took a picture of your child and placed it online on your family site - would it be OK if I took it and used it? Since you are putting your website online for the world to see is it OK if I make a copy and put it on my site?
That being said, I doubt very much someone would complain under the circumstances you are intending to use them for. If they do - remove them ASAP and then talk to them about it.
As far as the latter is concerned it's worth being aware that the whole subject of 'travel/public' photography is increasingly a very confusing one. Much legislation has been put forward around the world in recent years that seeks to restrict (for that read: control) the rights of those wishing to use images of almost anything.
I would recommend searching for any resources around the words: photography legislation +(subject matter).
One such resource is www.photopermit.org [photopermit.org]. There are plenty more to be used as starting points.
So you do not want to give them any more ammunition to file a lawsuit than simpley being upset with the review.
Actually, you should be going out of your way to contact those owners. Make them aware of your site, and even give them a way to comment about upcoming events. Give them a way to link to those reviews from their sites. Let them know when you are visiting the area to do "research" and see what sort of perks you get.
What you need to be careful about is that you do not represent your site as being officially connected to them. Or what trademark law refers to as "market confusion".

The innovative Bump app, which made its debut as a clever way to make short-range data transfers on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iOS devices, has been available for five years now. Yet search giant Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) has just now acquired the small company for an undisclosed amount. Meanwhile, Big G just released its Google Wallet app for iOS, while notably removing the requirement to use near-field communications, or NFC.
Combined, these two moves could potentially signal that Google is losing interest in NFC, considering its slow adoption, and may be exploring other options for short-range data transfers.
In the following video, Erin Kennedy discusses Google's buy with Evan Niu, CFA, and Jamal Carnette.

Proponents of a property tax freeze for seniors and people with disabilities will have their day - again - when voters in the Amarillo area go to the polls Nov. 7.
Local supporters - Bill Sumerford, Alan Abraham and Betty Trotter in Amarillo and Winston Stahlecker and Bill Jones in Canyon - first pitched the idea to local governing bodies in December 2005 and February of this year. But officials declined to implement the freezes.
The propositions eventually wound up on the ballots after the supporters collected enough signatures to force the initiatives.
The debate surrounding the tax freeze concept involves many points of dispute, perhaps the largest of which is how much it would cost each jurisdiction and whether the governments and remaining taxpayers can handle the cost.
Sumerford and Abraham say the tax freeze wouldn't cost the government anything it couldn't handle.
"This doesn't amount to a hill of beans," said Sumerford, 65. "If you lost four-tenths of 1 percent of your income in a seven-year period of time, I doubt you'd even know it. And that's the concept."
He and the other lead tax-freeze proponents based their projections on figures released by Jim Childers, chief appraiser at the Potter-Randall Appraisal District.
Childers calculated what a tax freeze for seniors and people with disabilities might have cost Amarillo, Potter County, Randall County, Amarillo Junior College District and Canyon from 2000 to 2004, had the freeze had been implemented in 1999.
His figures showed Amarillo would have lost $3.37 million; Potter County would have lost $2.72 million; Randall County would have lost $2.66 million; Amarillo College would have lost $1.23 million; and Canyon would have lost $190,000.
The strength of those calculations is they're based on actual historical numbers, Sumerford said.
But Amarillo City Commissioner Madison Scott said actual historical numbers can't accurately represent the future. One major factor that will have an impact on future tax revenues is the aging Baby Boomer generation, said Scott, 39, a benefits consultant.
"We have a lot of aging Baby Boomers. I think what we're scared about is there's going to be a huge load put on the system with that," Scott said.
From 1990 to 2000, people 65 and older represented 18 percent of Amarillo's population growth, according to U.S. Census data provided by the city's planning department. By comparison, people age 45 to 64 represented 44 percent of the population growth.
What that means, said Chief Planner Kelley Shaw said, is that Amarillo's senior population is due for an increase over the next 10 to 20 years as those people who were 45 to 64 during the 1990s reach old age.
And as that happens, if their taxes are frozen, then the governments will have to respond to the lost revenue by cutting services or raising taxes for the remaining taxpayers younger than 65, officials have argued.
"There's not the ability to give the seniors the break without somebody making up the difference," Potter County Judge Arthur Ware said.
"And if you're 65 years of age and it passes, it's wonderful. If you're 25 years of age and it passes, you're going to pay for it for 40 years."
To project the tax freeze's impact, the city of Amarillo contracted John M. Crider, a consulting actuary whose firm also prepares actuarial valuations for the Amarillo Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund and for the Northwest Texas Healthcare System employee retirement plan.
Crider projected that in 20 years, the city's tax rate would have to be 27.6 percent higher just to recover the revenue lost to a tax freeze, not even considering any natural tax increases or decreases that might have occurred.
But Sumerford calls that projection a scare tactic designed to convince voters the sky will fall if they enact the tax freeze. He argues governments will be fine without the revenue they would lose to a tax freeze because they already have more than they need.
"They're going to spend all that they get. Now, I didn't say anything about being spent wisely or needed or anything. It's just that they're going to do it," Sumerford said.
"And if you don't believe it, look at our federal government. The same thing holds true for our local and state governments."
There may be no narrowing of the gap between those for the tax freeze and those reluctant to adopt it. But both sides soon will find out whose views prevail. Early voting for the election starts Oct. 23.

Despite an impassioned pitch by defense attorney Scott DiClaudio, a federal magistrate on Friday ordered that Philadelphia police officer Jonathan Garcia must remain in federal custody pending trial.
Garcia, 23, was charged on June 20 with distributing heroin and using his department-issued, semi-automatic pistol to facilitate drug deals. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Brenner said Garcia, who is likely to face additional gun and robbery charges soon, was a danger to the community and a flight risk and should not be released on bail.

What the cluck?!
A 500-year-old "chicken cup" from the Ming Dynasty sold for $36 million at auction Tuesday, setting an international record, according to Reuters.
Named for its design depicting the farm animal, the relic is one of just 16 such artifacts known to have survived, Reuters reports. This cup was bought by a Shanghai billionaire, who plans to place it in his private museum.
"Every time a chicken cup comes up on the market, it totally redefines prices in the field of Chinese art," Sotheby's deputy chairman Nicolas Chow told Reuters.
The chicken cup was fired in imperial kilns during China's Chenghua period (1465-1487). But experts say the cup didn't win as high a price as they'd expected – likely due to the stagnating Chinese economy.

One of the largest expenses businesses incur is the cost to hire and train employees. With the time and money it takes to groom competent employees, businesses seek to keep employee turnover low. High turnover may cause problems, including loss of morale and increased expenses. Estimate the turnover rate in your organization to determine if it is high and to help analyze the reasons employees leave your business.
Step 1
Determine your "look-back" period, or the amount of time you want to review. Often, turnover is calculated on an annual basis, but you can look back in other intervals, such as the past six months.
Step 2
Average the number of employees at your organization in the look-back period by counting the number of employees on the last day of each month and dividing the total by the number of months in the look-back period.
Step 3
Count the total terminations during the look-back period.
Step 4
Calculate the turnover rate by dividing the number of employees who left the organization in the period by the average number of employees during the period, and multiply the decimal result by 100. This will give you a turnover percentage.
- High turnover rate may depend on your industry. If your organization's turnover rate is considered high, review the reasons each employee left the organization. Look for patterns and analyze the data to determine steps you should take to reduce turnover.

Gary Gresl, Living in a Material World
Typically, artists will do almost anything to keep making art. Take Chuck Close, the internationally recognized portrait painter who suffered a spinal blood clot at 49. As a quadriplegic, he developed a system to hold a paintbrush between his teeth to continue painting.
So there was more than one gasp when one of Milwaukee's finest artists, Gary John Gresl, stated that his solo show at Mount Mary College would likely be the last significant gallery show. It was not a cry for attention. Gresl is a humble man who has done much to bring recognition to other artists. He helped enlarge and improve the century-old organization now called Wisconsin Visual Artists and he collaborated with Tom Lidtke from the Museum of Wisconsin Art and others to inaugurate the Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Awards. »Read Full Blog Post

One of my favorite workout songs is "Black" by Typo-Negative, cause it's a ten minute song. Another is "5 Minutes Alone" by Pantera. Music that makes you wanna rip someone's head off while working out is very beneficial.
I really hope I win this phone. I have AT&T, need a new phone, AND just started making my phone my primary mp3 player. I'd LOVE to have Beats Audio music flowing into my ears.

Our reloadable prepaid debit cards are the easy way to carry cash when traveling and are perfect for teaching your children to spend money wisely.
Helpful tips for using your card:
- Sign your card.
- Keep a record of your card number, separate from your wallet.
- Know your balance. Merchants cannot determine the balance on your card.
- Certain types of merchants (gas stations, restaurants, car rental agencies, hotels, etc) may pre-authorize amounts that exceed the actual amount of purchase. (Example – Gratuities). Run the transaction for an amount where the authorization is less than the value on your card. The difference is then paid with an alternative form of payment.
- PINS can be retrieved by calling the number on the back of your card.

When it comes to the making of the long-awaited Ghostbusters 3, you can start with Ivan Reitman, the director of the first two movies – who confirmed Monday that, yes, the third film is officially in the works.
"A lot of directors are throwing their hats in. We're starting the meetings. We're going to do it," Reitman, 67, told PEOPLE at a Bud Light-sponsored party for the premiere of his latest film, Draft Day, in Los Angeles.
Ernie Hudson, who played Winston Zeddemore in the first two films, was also on hand and confirmed the project.
"It's about to happen," said Hudson, 68. "Unfortunately Harold [Ramis] is not with us anymore. But it's going to happen. It's going to be really, really good, which is why it's taken so long."
As for casting details, Reitman said things are still evolving.
"There will be many people from the original cast," he said. "You're really asking about Bill Murray, and I have no idea. All the other movies I made with Bill, he never told me he was doing it until … well, the longest was two weeks. Meatballs, he told me he was doing it the day before."
Hudson said it never would have happened without the support from fans, who have pushed for the project for years. (The original film was made in 1984, and the first sequel in 1989.)
"The fans have been amazing," Hudson said. "Without any studio support, they make their outfits and cars and Ectomobiles. I was in Brussels, and about 50 guys showed up with their Ghostbuster outfits on. In every state in the country, there are Ghostbuster chapters. It's cool. It's nice to be a part of."
Hudson is still mourning Ramis, who died in February at age 69. Ramis co-wrote the first two Ghostbusters movies with Dan Aykroyd, and played Egon Spengler.
"Harold brought a groundedness to everything he did," said Hudson. "He was a smart guy, and I think that will be missing. There's something about Harold that nobody can replace. [Ghostbusters 3] will be good, but it won't be what it could have been."

Red Roof Inn is an economy hotel chain in the United States. Red Roof Inn properties are distinguished by the large dark-red shingle roof that gives them their name. Red Roof has over 400 properties in the United States, primarily in the Midwest, Southern, and Eastern United States. Red Roof Inn is a pet-friendly hotel chain.[1]
The Red Roof Inn chain began in Columbus, Ohio. The company was founded by Jim Trueman in 1972 with the intention to provide guests with a clean, comfortable room at an affordable price. The oldest hotel (Inn #3) still operating as a Red Roof Inn is located on East Cork Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was built in 1973 and last renovated in 2004.
The original slogan was "Sleep Cheap". T-shirts were sold on property with this slogan, and they became popular.[citation needed] With the increase of prices due to inflation in 1987 and 1988, the prices of the chain, while still lower than most of its direct competitors like Budgetel (now Baymont) and Days Inn, were too high to be cheap. Thus, the slogan was changed to "Hit The Roof."
In the late 1990s, actor Martin Mull starred in a series of television and radio advertisements for Red Roof Inn.
Accor acquired Red Roof Inns in 1999 for $1.115 billion,[2] adding 324 properties and 37,208 rooms.[3]
In April 2007, Accor announced the sale of Red Roof Inns to Citigroup Global Special Situations Group and Westbridge Hospitality Fund LP for $1.3 billion.[4] As part of the sale, some locations were to be re-branded as part of Accor's then flagship North American brand, Motel 6, and Accor planned to focus exclusively on the North American market after the sale is complete.[citation needed]
NextGen Design[edit]
In 2012, Red Roof completed a $200 million renovation and upgrade to hotels nationwide with a sleek and modern NextGen® redesign elements. The Red Roof NextGen hotels feature updated, stylish and home- like interior and exterior designs including all new furniture, spa-inspired bathrooms with modern vessel sinks, plush high-end bedding, wood-like flooring, and large high definition flat-screen TVs.
Red Roof PLUS+[edit]
Red Roof launched its brand extension, Red Roof PLUS+ in early 2014. Red Roof PLUS+ includes a new Premium room type, red canopies at select properties, enhanced LED lighting, and outside signage. There are over 30 Red Roof PLUS+ properties already in existence around the United States.

Amendments to be Moved on Behalf of the Government
(Circulated by authority of the Attorney-General,
the Honourable Philip Ruddock MP)
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal Amendment Bill 2005 (the Bill) amends the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 (the AAT Act) and a number of other Acts to improve the capacity of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to manage its workload and ensure that reviews are conducted as efficiently as possible.
The Bill was introduced into the Parliament on 17 November 2004, and was subsequently referred to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Legislation Committee, which reported on the Bill on 8 March 2005. Government and Opposition amendments were subsequently made to the Bill.
The proposed Government amendments to the Bill are in response to certain of the amendments made to the Bill during its passage in the other House.
There is no direct financial impact on Government revenue from the proposed Government amendments.
SCHEDULE 1 - Amendments
Amendment (1)
1. This amendment omits item 21A of the Bill.
2. Item 21A repeals subsection 8(3) of the AAT Act which provides that, subject to that Part of the AAT Act, a member holds office for such period of at most 7 years as is specified in the instrument of appointment, but is eligible for re-appointment. Item 21A proposes to insert a new subsection 8(3), which specifies both a minimum and a maximum period of appointment. The Government amendment would mean that subsection 8(3) is unaffected by the Bill.
Amendment (2)
3. This amendment deletes new paragraph 23(9)(a) which is proposed to be inserted in the AAT Act by item 66 of the Bill and substitutes a new paragraph 23(9)(a).
4. Item 66 inserts a new section 23 into the AAT Act dealing with the reconstitution of the Tribunal for the purposes of particular proceedings when a member becomes unavailable. New subsection 23(9) lists the considerations which the President of the AAT is to take into account when making a direction under subparagraph 23(2)(b)(iii) that a member is not to continue to take part in particular proceedings. This amendment deletes the detailed list of considerations in paragraph 23(9)(a) and substitutes new paragraph 23(9)(a) which is the requirement that the President must not give a direction under subparagraph 23(2)(b)(iii) unless the President is satisfied that it is in the interest of justice to do so. New subsection 23(12) inserted by item 66 provides further elaboration of the concept of interests of justice.
Amendment (3)
5. This amendment omits items 76A and 76B of the Bill.
6. Item 76A repeals subsection 27(1) of the AAT Act and substitutes a new subsection 27(1). The effect of the amendment is to retain existing subsection 27(1), which provides that where an enactment (other than the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 ) provides that an application may be made to the Tribunal for a review of a decision, the application may be made by or on behalf of any person or persons (including the Commonwealth or an authority of the Commonwealth) whose interests are affected by the decision.
7. Item 76B inserts a definition provision as new subsection 27(1A) of the AAT Act in consequence of the amendment proposed in item 76A. As item 76A is to be omitted, item 76B is consequently also omitted.

Charges have been dismissed against a Charleston man accused of flashing a woman in a downtown parking garage after he successfully stayed out of trouble for six months, authorities said.
In late June, Charleston police arrested Renzo Zeno Zanipolo, 56, of Bogard Street on an indecent exposure charge. He was accused of approaching a woman at the parking garage at 90 Cumberland St., asking to borrow her phone and then masturbating when she looked his way, police said.
Zanipolo said prosecutors agreed to drop the charge at a July hearing because it was clear he was innocent and a victim of mistaken identity. Zanipolo said he had an alibi witness who could prove he was elsewhere.
"It was not me," he said. "I am not guilty."
City prosecutors said the charge against Zanipolo was deferred, meaning it will be dismissed if he stays out of trouble. That wasn't done because of problems with the case or doubts about Zanipolo's arrest, they said. Rather, they took that step after officials from the Veterans Affairs hospital intervened and said Zanipolo would benefit more from counseling than jail, they said.
Attorney Jason T. Mikell, Zanipolo's public defender, did not dispute that synopsis of the disposition.
City court officials confirmed in late December that prosecutors had dismissed the charge against Zanipolo because he had successfully gone six months without a new arrest.

Three people suspected of burglary for allegedly stealing a safe from a Saugus home were behind bars Tuesday after a wild ride through the Santa Clarita Valley, and a foot chase across the Santa Clara River, officials and witnesses said.
Two men from Palmdale and a Los Angeles woman, who was identified as the getaway driver, were in the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station jail Wednesday afternoon, each charged with burglary, said Deputy Josh Dubin.
Shortly before 10 a.m., deputies received a report of a "suspicious man trying to open door knobs" of homes in Saugus, he said.
At 10:16 a.m., a Saugus resident on Paige Place, north of Plum Canyon Road near Golden Valley Road, called them to report thieves removing a safe the size of a mini refrigerator from a home on that street, Dubin said.
"It was about 200 to 300 pounds," Dubin said.
The thieves were reported driving away in a tan-colored Honda with black bumpers. Deputies caught up with such a car in the area of Cinema Drive near Bouquet Canyon Road and a three- to four-minute chase ensued until it was called off due to safety concerns, Dubin said.
"We decided it (the pursuit) was too great a risk to public safety since the driver was driving so erratic, blowing through red lights — so we stopped the pursuit," he said.
Dubin said the Honda sideswiped a car on Valencia Boulevard and was found on a road inside the Valencia Westfield Town Center Mall near Sears — the safe still inside.
Deputies followed reports of two suspects running across Valencia Boulevard and into the paseos. They caught up with the pair on Carrizo Drive behind Granary Square.
Other deputies pursuing the third suspect tracked their man to a car dealership on Creekside.
"He came over to the detailing shop and asked to use the phone," said P.J. Palencia, parts and service director for Valencia Kia, who encountered the wanted man before he was apprehended.
"We told him you have to use the phone in the showroom, and he walks nice and easy over to the showroom," he said.
As the suspect entered the showroom, six deputies entered from the other side and ran across the Kia dealership after the man.
At that point the man forgot about the phone and bolted, Palencia said.
"There were cars, motorcycles, a helicopter, police coming from every direction," said Joe Caracciolo, general manager of the dealership.
The suspect slid down a dusty 15-foot embankment at the back of the Valencia Kia parking lot and onto the bike path that skirts the Santa Clara River. He then hopped the bike path fence and jumped into the wash.
"There were 10 police (deputies) after this guy. Three went into the wash, four stayed here and four stayed at the rail," he said, pointing at the bike path fence.
"He tried to hide in the trees and in the bush, but then he popped up and appeared again," Palencia said.
By this time, deputies in at least six cruisers entered the William S. Hart Baseball & Softball complex and were waiting for the wanted man.
Deputies were also posted at both ends of the wash — at McBean Parkway and Valencia Boulevard — and on the north side at Bridgeport. Bridgeport Elementary School was locked down for about a half hour beginning at 10:15 a.m., said Lori Oster, office manager for the school.
As the suspect — wearing a T-shirt and jeans — darted across the wash, a helicopter circled overhead.
"I've never seen so many cops," Palencia said. "This guy was running and the cops started running."
Deputies reported arresting the third suspect near the William S. Hart Baseball & Softball park shortly after 11 a.m.
Charged with burglary were 19-year-old Matthew Jackson and 20-year-old Oscar Mendoza, both of Palmdale and Jazmin Mendoza, 21, of Los Angeles.
Other charges are pending, Dubin said.
