A Northampton Community College student from York County was busted for dealing drugs on campus, officials said.
Andrew J. Arnold was arrested early Wednesday morning after admitting to selling pot from his Residence Hall dorm room at 3835 Green Pond Road, Bethlehem Twp., Northampton Co., officials said.
Arnold made the admission after police searched his room and found a large bundle of marijuana weighing more than 100 grams (about a quarter-pound), drug paraphernalia, including a scale with marijuana residue, three glass pipes, one wooden pipe and plastic baggies, and $176 in cash, officials said.
Arnold told police he paid more than $1,000 for the marijuana and that he has 10 to 15 regular customers, officials said.
Police were called to the NCC campus just at about 12:15 a.m., after Arnold had given campus security a small bag of marijuana while they were investigating several complaints of a marijuana smell coming from his room, officials said.
Arnold, 20, of 8538 Hickory Road, Felton, was arraigned on charges of possession with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia and committed to the Northampton County Prison on $5,000 bail, according to court documents.
A preliminary hearing is set for 2 p.m. Jan. 30.

Okay, it's highlight time. We've probably seen Thomas Tyner and some others but with a little digging they can all be brought together for easier, quicker viewing by those of us insane enough to love Duck recruiting. Here's a first pass at a whole bunch of future Ducks.
Dontre Wilson as a junior.
Dontre of course, is visiting both Ohio State and Oklahoma State in the next couple weeks. Should be interesting as Ohio State's Urban Meyer apparently told his lone running back recruit that he'd be the only one in the 2013 class forthe Buckeyes. Huh. Then he told him that Wilson was being recruited as a wide receiver. Wide receiver? Wonder if Wilson knows that? Oregon's coaches did an in-home with Wilson last night in DeSoto, Texas.
Dontre Wilson as a senior.
Jake Pisarcik
Yes, he is the son of Joe Pisarcik. The former NY Giants quarterbak.
More film, more info, more Duck recruiting by the minute as I find moments to post it. Oregon's staff is all over the country right now, recruiting like madmen.

A Jersey City police officer assigned to the department's motorcycle unit was thrown from bike this afternoon when responding to a motor vehicle accident, he slammed into a car on Garfield Avenue, according to police reports.
The police officer, who was not seriously injured, said that he was traveling south on Garfield Avenue near Linden Avenue around 3:30 p.m. when he got word of the MVA, police reports said.
The officer said he activated the motorcycle's lights and siren and most vehicles moved to the side, but when he charged forward, he smashed into the driver's side of a 4-door Toyota that was making a left onto Linden Avenue, police reports said.
The driver of the Toyota, Clarett Ireland of Jersey City, told The Jersey Journal "the motorcycle came out of nowhere."
The officer "tried to pass on the left and ran right into the side of my car," Ireland said. "They said he had his lights and sirens on. I didn't hear a siren or see lights."
A witness verified that the officer had his vehicle's lights and siren activated, according to the police report.
No charges were filed.

Congress seems very upset with the little three auto makers. Tough, hard hitting questions for the CEO's of GM, Ford and Chrysler this week in Washington. I don't have a dog in this fight but I think the automakers have a very good argument for a bailout/loan.
The government is willing to spend $7 trillion to help rescue the economy but appears to be saying no to the carmakers. Click on this link and scroll down to see who is getting what.
$1.6 trillion in loans to banks (so far) in exchange for bad debt, $300 billion for Citigroup, unlimited dollars to 13 foreign banks to provide liquidity to foreign financial institutions, $29 billion to Bear Stearns, $200 billion to bailout Fannie and Freddie Mac, and on and on.
I don't recall Congress grilling the CEO of Bear Stearns, or Goldman Sachs, nor do I see any hint of oversight on how all this money is being spent.
The automakers want approximately $30 billion. I say give it to them. Yes, they are inefficient, poorly run, and made too many SUV's and trucks seeking the big profits but at least they make something.
Why is the government content to see all our manufacturing jobs disappear? Again, if you want to find out what has happened to our country under "globalization" read "TAKE THIS JOB AND SHIP IT- HOW CORPORATE GREED AND BRAIN DEAD POLITICS ARE SELLING OUT AMERICA" by Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota.
Why did Congress suddenly become "frugal" over a paltry $30 billion? Is this (bankruptcy) what the automakers want to bust the union and redo the pensions?
How can it be good for America when everything we buy is made in China?

By Jen McCaffrey / Post-Standard Contributing writer
The ice has been covered and 1,160 tons of footing have been laid at the War Memorial Arena at the Oncenter in preparation for the 126th Syracuse Sporthorse Invitational that officially opened activities on Wednesday.
Syracuse will entertain 450 horses, 350 riders and thousands of spectators in its sixth year as host for the national indoor tournament.
Not only will riders from across the United States and Canada be present this weekend, but some are traveling from as far away as Great Britain, Russia, Ireland, France, Brazil and the Netherlands which means their horses will be coming from that far as well.
The horses arrived through Stewart International Airport in Newburgh, which has a license for transporting horses and other large animals that Hancock International Airport does not, and shipped up to Syracuse. Over the course of the week, horses will be housed in makeshift stables in the basement of the War Memorial and in a two-floor section of the OnCenter parking garage.
The logistics of the event, which was established by three-time local Olympic champion rider Beezie Madden and her husband John who live in Cazenovia, has evolved into one of the city's most lucrative events with an estimated $8 million economic impact on Syracuse.
Yet while organizers estimate 18,000 to 20,000 visitors this weekend at the OnCenter Complex, the event isn't about the people, it's all about the horses.
Let's get physical
One of the main events for the horses on Wednesday wasn't a competition but a physical. Every horse was required to pass an inspection by certified Federation Equine International veterinarians like Dr. Mike Ball.
Ball helped to facilitate the FEI Jog in the Convention Center Wednesday, watching each horse take a jog around a ring while looking for flat spots in the horses' strides that might indicate an injury.
"The FEI Jog is primarily to check their soundness from a health safety standpoint," Ball said. "As far as the front end the most common observable thing from lameness is a head nod which is their version of a limp. Basically, their head comes up when their lame leg is on the ground so they're trying to take wait off of whichever leg is sore."
Ball then records all observations in the horse's passport. Each horse has its own passport that is very similar to passports for people, except slightly larger in size, naturally. The passports detail not only where the horse has been, but all vaccinations it has been given and FEI veterinarians are required to document all scars or irregularities that they might notice in coat of the horse as well as limps or lameness.
"The caveat is to protect the welfare of the horses," said Ball, who also runs a performance horse practice with his wife near Ithaca.
How'd they do that?
Later in the evening, the 'How It's Done — Dressage and Jumping' clinic took place in the War Memorial with a few hundred people in attendance.
Nine-time Canadian Olympic champion Ian Millar and Olympians Courtney King-Day and Anne Kursinski, who both represented the United States in Hong Kong in 2008, held a clinic for the public.
The trio shared riding techniques on transitioning horses' strides, controlling the horse through the riders own movements and discipline and ways to better communicate with the horses. Millar, King-Day and Kursinski also participated in a conversational forum discussing helmet regulations, and then answered audience questions.
Kursinski stressed the importance of the relationship with the horse as the key to success.
"Become one with your horse as if the horse is practically reading your mind," Kursinski said. "To me the basic equitation along with basic dressage is so important along with your body control. You can be buy a $1 million or $2 million horse but if you can't control your body, your legs, your hands, your eyes, your legs flies back it's going to excite the horse. Can you be invisible and have the horses' obedience?"
After the first day of events, it's clear the horses will certainly not be invisible this weekend in Syracuse.

The Hermit Pope Who Set The Precedent For Benedict XVI
Pope Benedict XVI leaves office this week, the second pope to resign voluntarily. The first was Celestine V, a hermit who quit in 1294, after a brief and disastrous stint. Some scholars say Dante damned Celestine as a coward in his Inferno. Yet his example, legally and spiritually, played a major role in Benedict's departure.

Lest We Forget
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
From Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen, written in September 1914
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
In Flanders Fields, by John McCrae, May 1915

UPDATE: An NYPD spokesman now says that the SUV was never stolen. Rather, the young boy had wandered from out of his home on his own, and one of his parents concocted a story about the stolen vehicle, the spokesman said.
The parent, whose name is not yet released, is expected to face criminal charges, the NYPD spokesman said.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Police are on the hunt for an opportunistic car thief they say stole an SUV -- with a 4-year-old boy seated in the back -- in Tottenville Sunday night.
The thief slipped into the still-running SUV on Craig Avenue at about 8:30 p.m., then left the child, unharmed, less than two blocks away, on the sidewalk in front of a home on Hecker Street, near Amboy Road.
An NYPD spokesman said the man ditched the vehicle, a blue 2005 Toyota 4Runner, at the corner of Hecker and Lenhart streets.
He's described as a white man, of unknown age, standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and wearing blue jeans and a gray sweatshirt.
According to police, one of the boy's parents left the car running, with him still inside, to enter a home on Craig.
Anyone with information about the suspect can call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hot line at 800-577-TIPS (8477); visit nypdcrimestoppers.com or send text tips to CRIMES (274637), then enter TIP577. All calls will be kept confidential, according to police.

GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan — The Genesee Intermediate School District is expected to see a 20 percent budget cut in state funding after lawmakers agreed to a budget deal late Thursday.
It's less than the 40 percent drop that had been proposed earlier, but still a steep cut for the GISD, which employs hundreds of workers and provides services such as special education for students in Genesee County.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm is expected to sign a budget that will cut state aid to school districts by $165 per-student, according to the Associated Press.
The legislature rejected a $218 per-student cut last week.
The cuts come when districts are more than a quarter into fiscal years.
The Flint School District, which has about 12,000 students, would lose more than $1.9 million.
GISD and Flint school officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

Have no fear! Now is a great time to buy and it won't stay that way for long. I love working with first-time homebuyers and would be happy to send you some references of other first timers that I have helped. So stop building wealth for someone else and put your money to work for you! Give me a call and we can set up a consultation. Look forward to hearing from you!
Good Luck Sofia
Your down payment cash was converted to home equity, and it is lost.
Homeowners with equity are the first bearers of risk in a declining market. As long as your mortgage is "performing" (ie payments are on time) the lender doesn't care about the value loss... unless you are unfortunate to have accepted a negative amortization loan, commonly known as "Option ARMs". These come with clauses that trigger full amortization repayment if the loan balance hits a certain percentage over your home's value - ususally between 115% and 125% of the current value.
A refinance is based upon the appraised value of your home today based upon recent nearby sales for a similar home. It is quite likely that you have too little equity to squeeze in a cash out refinance to convert some of your remaining equity back to cash. Furthermore, your mortgage would increase in size with a corresponding increase in payment - a poor decision to make if the property tax increase has made your present payment unaffordable.
Linda and Sean offer excellent suggestions which will may help keep your mortgage affordable - and incidentally cost very little compare to a refinance.

There is a government program extended until the rest of this year, and to get a home modification,
and you will be able to stay in your home.
If you wait until the property values go up again, they you can sell for a profit.
This program has worked for a friend of mine, and I am sure they will be able to help you also.
Good luck,
It's a simple process. Complete a 3 page application
No upfront application fee. Home must be worth at least $200,000
If approved:
1. You will sell your home for what you owe. Then lease it back at a monthly payment 40-60% lower than your current mortgage payment. No need to move, stay in your home.
2. After the lease period ends, you can purchase your home at 90% of the current market value with owner financing!
Leave a message at 763-276-1338 http://www.houseleaseback.com
I have sat down with owners who have put out all they had into 1 home.
The bright side is someone will enter into a home that is fixed up.
Bad side is owner is out of that money, and will probably end up with credit damage.
If you think your lender did something fraudulant.
Hire an attorney to do a forensic loan audit(review your original NOTE line for line)
If the attorney can find something to go after your lender you may have something. (long process but)
Ive heard an investor got a free house. The lender did not want to go to court.
My Partner and I have successfully closed out 7 short sales in the last couple of months in San Jose,
Malpitas, Fairfield and Suisun CA
Currently Today is July 29 2009
We have 3 properties in Escrow and are expecting to close in less than 20 days.
Currently we are looking for short sales to purchase in the bay area 500k and up.
We have been buying them, fixing them up and re-selling them-
(EVEN TO VA BUYERS) We will repair the home
so the home will get Funded by the end buyers Lender.
If the home is not repaired the home will sit their until you have a conventional buyer or a ALL Cash Buyer. Purchase the property
We have a proven track record in Cali.
Call me or visit
Negotiating the Bay Area.
You might need a short sale it sounds like. You can go rent for a while and get back into homeownership down the road in a home with a mortgage you can afford. You might need to look at credit repair after your short sale or foreclosue. Good luck!
I represent one of the firms who will do a forensic analysis of your loan-for a charge. I suggest that before you contact me you see the FAIR HOUSING COUNCIL OF RIVERSIDE CO. 3933 Mission Ave [at Market St-across from the Greyhound Bus Depot] Their phone # is 951-682-6581. You can see them online at http://www.fairhousing.net They are FHA approved and there is no charge
I'm old and not a licensed agent but I started buying in 1973 after the first foreclosure seminar in the area [By Charles Shubin] and I have been insturmental in buying 220 properties at severe discounts. I've been an appraisor, a sales trustee for foreclosures etc [just not smart enough to be a Broker] so I find it easy to evaluate new trends. Newest: 95% of all loans 2002-2006 are void! Grampa Jack
Your mortgage company will not return any downpayment that was made during the purchase of the home. The only way to access equity is to cash out refinance or secure a line of credit on the property -- but both transactions would be based on the current value of the home (not the value when you purchased).
If you still can't afford your payment, consider renting your house out. You may not get enough in rent to cover your payment, but any shortfall is easier to abosrb than losing your house ... and your $100K.

It might seem like a small thing (it is very tiny), but the Eye-Fi Connect X2 memory card ($49.99) will do all the hard work of managing the photos you, or your shutterbug kid, take with a digital camera. The perfect gift for a soon-to-be college student who may be so busy studying that she can't be bothered to organize her pics. The Eye-Fi Connect not only stores thousands of photos but also makes transferring them to a computer miraculously easy.
Keep your camera within reach of your home WiFi network, and the Eye-Fi Connect will automatically move photos from the memory card to your computer — or the website it's been told to use. It will also store them online at a private site for seven days, so you can log in from anywhere and email pics to friends and family, post the funny ones to Facebook, or download them to a phone.
Bottom line: No need to buy a new camera — this card will connect your current one to the Internet and upload your photos wherever you want them to go.

Wed., 11:59am: UPDATE Warren mayor calls for calm
WARREN — Mayor Doug Franklin, flanked by family members of Richard C. Rollison IV, who was murdered on the city's west side early Saturday morning, called for calm in the wake of recent violence.
Franklin was speaking at a City Hall new conference that he held this morning.
Those participating in the news conference revealed that Vincent Peterson, a local probation officer, pastor and athletic coach, convinced Rollison's friends to not retaliate. Tashawn Walker, a suspect in Rollison's murder, was arrested in Texas. Walker's brother, Taemar, was shot dead by a Warren police officer a week earlier. Taemarr Walker was reportedly on his way to II Hype Lounge for commit a drive-by shooting.
Franklin said, "I'm asking everyone to help stop the violence." He said the loss of two lives and misinformation through social media caused high emotions in the city and panic in local high schools.

Hopeless future
When all nations will not support the cap and trade issue, it is useless to put our government in a position to crush our small businesses.
The health care bill is poised to bankrupt our country while denying health care to the elderly. This system is implemented in Canada and Great Britain where doctors and medical care are not available for months after the need is made known.
AARP is no longer defending its members by taking a stand with this unfair bill. All AARP members should contact this organization which exists only because of the elderly. Please contact your government officials by e-mail or phone while they are on vacation from Congress.

Seems like we're reading more and more headlines these days about the dismal shape of the U.S. Postal Service - $3.2B in third-quarter losses, forcing early retirements, stopping Saturday deliveries, closing offices (maybe even our Wynn Drive station).
I got to thinking about this as I perused the typical contents of my mailbox. I average 12 items of mail each day, 10 of which immediately go into the trash. I got to thinking about how I'm paying 44 cents to mail a letter to someone who wants or needs to hear from me, and the senders of all this junk mail are paying as little as 11 cents to send the same item to me and others who neither ask for nor want their attention.
Here's an idea. How about flat-rate mailing fees? Let's start out at 22 cents for a typical letter. I'm sure the bulk mailers won't go away, but they'll be forced to be more selective. When the dust settles, we might find better service to the general population, less unwanted mail, much better postage rates, and a more manageable delivery service. Isn't service to the population the real charge of the U.S. Postal Service?

To begin, I really liked the asymmetrical yoke front, but I had my doubts whether it would fit me properly. I felt that there might be too much of a curve where all the seams joined, and one other pattern reviewer on patternreview.com confirmed my suspicions as well. However, how would I know for sure unless I sewed up the front and checked it out? Sure enough it was no good, but what I discovered was that the center front of the skirt worked pretty well on my hips, so I made another front piece (laying the pattern tissue upside down so that I had a mirror image). This became the other side of the skirt. So the original side seams now became my front and back seams, creating a neat geometrical effect on the front, side, and back of the skirt.

Open Door Assembly
For the past couple of weeks we have been in a series about how God is able to do more than we could ever imagine. I know that we all think that but when it comes right down to it, do we really have the faith to believe that God is able to do the impossible?
In Luke 5:1-11, we have the story of when Jesus used Simon Peter's boat because the crowd was pressing in on him so much that he had to borrow his boat to continue teaching. As Peter and his partners were cleaning their nets from the fishing trip they had been on the night before, Jesus asks him if he would be able to use his boat. Now you have to remember that Peter and his friends were professional fishermen. When you fish for a living and you come home with nothing it is a disappointing day. So when Jesus asked Peter to push out into the deep and lower his nets, Peter's faith was not at the point that fish were going to start jumping in the boat. He knew that there weren't any fish out there to be caught. He just wanted to get the nets clean and go to sleep. As Peter began to take the nets back up from letting them down he started to pull and they didn't want to come up. So he stood up in the boat to get some leverage and with every muscle in his body he began to pull up the nets. These nets were not empty, but they were so full that the fish were flopping out the top. As he began to put the fish in the boat he began to get nervous that he wasn't going to make it back to shore cause the boat was about to sink. The catch was so large that he had to ask his friends to come and help with the catch. This is where the faith moved into Peter and he expresses his heart. VS 8-9, But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!" For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken, their faith had been shaken and they knew that Jesus wasn't just a man but he was the Messiah.
The greatest part of this Scripture is in the last verse. 11, When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him. Talk about faith. They just caught the greatest catch in their life. All they know is how to fish and they leave everything that they have worked for and all of their material possessions behind to follow Him. If you are a fisherman today, you know how much money it costs to have all of the equipment to catch fish. They saw something that was more appealing and more profitable than anything they have ever done in their entire life and they followed him.
Are you willing to give up everything that you have worked for and all the material possessions that you have collected to follow Christ? This is a question that we need to ask ourselves if we want to see the impossible happen in our lives. God wants us to surrender everything to him just like Peter and his friends. He doesn't just want a portion of our lives but he wants us to be willing to give it all. When we surrender all we will start to see the miracles happen in our lives like we have never seen before. I guess my challenge for us, and this includes me, is to try it. To surrender everything and see what God is going to do.

Skip to comments.Halloween decoration fools 911 caller
Posted on 10/04/2011 5:44:58 AM PDT by lwd
A passing motorist on Organ Church Road called 911 Monday morning after seeing what appeared to be a bloody body pinned under a lawn mower.
But authorities quickly learned that the body was actually a graphic Halloween decoration placed near the road by a neighbor.
It wasnt too long after we dispatched a call that we found out it was a Halloween decoration, said 911 center shift supervisor Autumn Davis.
The attention-grabbing gag, set up in the yard at 3475 Organ Church Road near Rockwell, wasnt surrounded by any other Halloween decorations on Monday. The set-up depicts a body with bloodstained jeans trapped under the blades of a riding lawn mower, with a can of beer in its hand.
Chris Deaton, the man behind the mower, said this is his second year with the decoration, and said he did it because it got great reviews last year.
Its cool for a Halloween ornament, he said.
Deaton said he hadnt been contacted by authorities or passing motorists, but he didnt think the decoration was offending anyone.
He got the idea from someone elses yard, Deaton said, while traveling to the beach one year.
Last year, Deaton kept the mower closer to the house, so only those on his driveway could see it.
This year, though, he wanted to try it closer to the road.
Deaton said he hasnt put any other Halloween decorations around the mower because he figures its going to get stolen and he doesnt want anything else taken.
Thats the only thing its good for, Deaton said about the mower, which no longer has a working motor in it.
Its probably going to be stolen and sold for scrap metal, he said.
I'm surprised a SWAT team didn't show up and raid his home followed by charges of inducing panic and obstruction of justice.
I despise Halloween.
Why is that even a consideration?
It used to be fun.
My mother called it "the devil's holiday", even 30 years ago, and it has seriously gotten to be just that.
I don't enjoy it a bit anymore. Our church has a "fall bonfire" for all the families to attend, and it is a good time.
Halloween is evil, and this is just one of the reasons. People who "decorate" like this need to be fined for creating a public nuisance, faking an emergency situation, or whatever.
I remember a story last year or the year before, about an actual dead body that was ignored because people just assumed it was a Halloween decoration.
Curious as to whether FReepers think this type of display is okay and whether they would be equally okay if someone were to set up a displaying portraying graphic sex in their front yard.
Isn't the bleedin' holiday 4 weeks away? Some people need to grow up and get a life.
So you'd be okay if someone put up a display of graphic sex in their front yard?
It also reminds me of the Sarah Palin effigy and the discussion we had about that in 2008.
I'm right there with you. I don't know what happened to the little kids holiday it used to be. (im almost 50) Now it is a demonic drunken brawl. Count me out.
"People who decorate like this need to be fined for creating a public nuisance..."
IMHO, if it is this man's property then he should be allowed to decorate how he wants. Do I like the decoration? No, it isn't my cup of tea (we stick to pumpkins, Indian corn, hay bales etc). I may have agreed with your disdain up until about five years ago when several neighbors complained to our Civic Association that "manger" scenes shouldn't be displayed on front lawns. It "offended" some liberal Jewish families/Atheists families. Once the door opens and someone slams their foot into it and regulated Halloween... believe me, Christmas and Easter will be next.
I hope you removed all the scratchy bark from that stick.
Im surprised a SWAT team didnt show up and raid his home followed by charges of inducing panic and obstruction of justice.
And shoot his dog. You forgot that part.
Whatever happened to witches, ghosts and goblins? How did Halloween come to be a day to celebrate knife-wielding serial killers?
You forgot "shoot the dog" and "taser Grandma"... ;-)
"Whatever happened to witches, ghosts and goblins?"
There is a % of the population that wants those decorations banned as well. I see it as "to each his own" moment. No, I don't like realistic looking decorations like this (and we wouldn't trick or treat at this house). However, he owns the property and pays the taxes on it. It isn't any different to me then a neighbor who puts a noose on a tree. He got a visit from the local cops who said it was "racially offensive". Thought police start with small incidents and then they go wild with restrictions IMHO.
I get a kick out of halloween, it's cool driving around to see the neat creativity people do around their houses. Not far from me a guy decorates his entire yard and top of his house each year. What I can't figure out is where he stores all his stuff. His theme is usually a toxic waste facility with marked 50 gallon drums and zombies.....LOL!
As it is currently celebrated, Halloween is the perfect liberal holiday. What other holiday features the unilateral giving of gifts with the implied threat of violence?
Great observation.
And, another liberal facet: the celebration of the ability to act irresponsibly without consequences by concealing your identity.
I'm confused. What does graphic sex have to do with Halloween?
Same here...hate it. Especially the obligatory work parties and costume contests. People just get weird and stupid. One year, one of the HR people dressed as a pregnant nun. How is this ok in the new 'diverse and open' workplace?
What does a guy getting run over by a lawn tractor have to do with Halloween?
And burn the house to the ground
"Im surprised a SWAT team didnt show up and raid his home followed by charges of inducing panic and obstruction of justice"
Oh and shoot his dog!
MomToThree is a better conservative than most of those on this site. Too many freepers are just fine w/ censorship, intolerance & govt restrictions on liberty as long as their expressions, displays & religious beliefs aren't the ones targeted.
Are you being serious? That's a nice strawman decoration you got there.
:::sigh::: It has to do with putting whatever you feel like on public display even if it is in your own yard. (But I suspect you know that.)
So. . .if you are okay with this display because it is on the homeowner's property, would you also be okay with a display of graphic sex?
I can see why a concerned person called authorities; I imagine it looks somewhat realistic as one is driving by. Not my idea of Halloween decor, and wouldn't take my kids to that house. But it's the guy's choice how he decorates his own yard.
It should be a safety display all summer, don't drink a six pack before getting on the mower.
I'm "OK" with it because it's Halloween.
You haven't seen the movies, obviously! ;-P
Halloween has become the holiday of "disturbing". What used to be a masquerade is now a gore-fest.
Since you're not, is it safe to assume you would also be opposed santa and frosty the snowman lawn ornaments during December?
Since I'm not what?
If you are asking if I am in favor of people putting graphic displays in their front yard for all to see, the answer is no. I'm also not in favor of government dictating what a person can display on their own property.
I AM in favor of neighbors banding together to set such an idiot straight.
So how about you?
So since it is Halloween, your neighbor can put up a graphic display of sex as long as it is between two people with pointy black hats on. Got it.
I have seen how a small "restriction" turns into a massive one, RC51! Think about it... years back, work places started restricting smoking inside. Most (including me) were in favor of that. However, it didn't take THAT long to have smoking restricted from apartments, parks, on school property, hospital property, beaches, parking lots etc... That is just one example of many on how the "frog" was initially put into the pot. I know firsthand how HEATED our civic association meeting became over religious manger scenes. Typical liberal/PC words like, "insensitive, intolerant, separation of Church and state, blah, blah, blah were used. One neighbor actually wanted an "agreement" that only white lights/candles could be used in the windows and NO CHRISTMAS TREE should be visible to the public via a window.
This isn't the only example that I have witnessed. A nearby Baptist Church displays (once a year) small, white crosses on its lawn to represent the nameless, aborted babies. The PUBLIC OUTRAGE used the same terms: insensitive, intolerant, separation of Church and state etc. My point is even if a display on private property isn't something WE like or would do, if enough people want a RESTRICTION then whatever you use will be up to scrutiny. The Halloween prop dummy under a lawnmower will quickly turn into all manger scenes, crosses, Christmas trees etc... within a short amount of time. IMHO.
Great post Mom to Three.
The same so-called Conservatives will howl when Nativities and Menorahs are outlawed but it's fine for them to advocate banning Halloween displays. I know, I know, Halloween is Satanic and Christmas is quite the opposite. Right. It doesn't matter.
Who cares if he puts this silly decoration out at any time of year? Although I suspect that if the authorities keep getting called they might have grounds to start charging for false alarms, kind of like if a house alarm keeps going off.
I'm with you. Everyone in town knows we try to make our house the scariest, so they all bring their kids. We don't do anything 'graphic'. Fog coming out a caldron with skulls in it and spooky music. A skeletal guy in the darkened 2nd floor window with a cape and flowing robes and a strobe light. A trash can that has a hydraulic monster that jumps up when I hit the button. But the thing the kids like most is my husband comes from around the back of the house to chase them away in his gorilla suit. They know it's coming and still get scared. And the times he couldn't do it, they were disappointed and asked about it. Last year we really freaked them out, because we had TWO gorillas. The next morning I have to go out and pick up all the spilled candy from the kids running away. LOL!
What is your hang up with sex? It has nothing to do with Halloween. It had nothing to do with the article posted. What it is is a massive straw man built around your own obsession. For God's sake man, get a grip.
one is predominantly considered "scary" and one just obscene.
the latter probably also has local and/or state obscenity laws against it unless you're in San Francisco.
Oh, I agree. If it was me, I would figure if one person thought it was real then more would. Why burden law enforcement with coming to the house repeatedly. People who want to avoid Halloween for religious reasons can go to their Church for a "Harvest" celebration or simply not answer their door to trick or treaters. I know several religions do that and I support their choice and faith. However, I wish they would support a person's definition of fun by hanging up a ghost or allowing their kids to trick or treat.
Halloween IMHO is not satanic. A person is satanic in their actions and deeds. More satanism occurs everyday... in ONE day at the local abortion clinic than in any Halloween display. A clinic with painted white walls and gleaming floors contains more evil than any holiday prop. (may be a side note but that is how I feel)
"Everyone in town knows we try to make our house the scariest..."
Those who want a good scare, come to your house. Those who object can stay home or go to another house. I don't think anyone should be allowed to "object" to your spooky music or your gorilla. (wish I lived near you... we'd come!)
I'm amazed at the number of posters in favor of censoring this.
Did somebody change the web site to Uptight-Stick-In-The-Mud-God-Forbid-Someone-Have-Fun Republic while I wasn't looking?
It's my birthday
It was fun as a child
Our local Wally World has had rows upon rows of candy and 'decorations' up since Labor Day......and yesterday, I saw that one end of the store is all Christmas gear.
This looks somewhat familiar ping.

It was just one of those days for the TinCaps on Tuesday, as they lost 8-2 to Bowling Green. Four TinCaps were ejected from the game, and that included Pitching Coach Willie Blair, pitcher Matt Stites, infielder Travis Whitmore and Manager Jose Valentin.
"I'm not going to go out there and get thrown out of the game because I want to," Valentin told The Journal Gazette. "I went out there because I thought I had a case to the argument. I could see clear, from where I was in the dugout, as soon as that ball made contact with the bat, that ball never was fair. It wasn't even close. The bottom line is we got beat again. We didn't hit at all, we didn't pitch at all today and they beat us."
Lee Orr did hit another home run, giving him seven for the season. He's hit longballs at an incredible pace, having registered 50 at bats in 15 games in a TinCaps uniform.
Now Great Lakes comes into town, and the Dodgers affiliate has played up and down baseball having split the last ten games. Over the last seven games, the Loons have gone win, loss, win loss, win, loss, win. That stretch followed a two-game losing streak, which was preceded by a two-game winning streak. Confused yet? Yeah, me too. The last time these two clubs met was back in April, from the 12th-15th, and both teams look much different than they did more than a month ago.
In today's TinCaps report, Matt Stites talks about his ejection in from the game after surrendering a home run to Bowling Green's Matt Rice:
If you haven't heard, the TinCaps are now one of just a few teams in Minor League Baseball to have an entire weekly television show dedicated to them. It's called "Sound Off with the TinCaps" and it airs every Monday here in Fort Wayne on 21 Alive from 12:20-12:50 and it re-airs at 7:30.
There have been two episodes, and this past week's show featured a live interview with Jose Valentin from the ballpark, and a behind the scenes segment with the Bad Apple Dancers.
For all of the segments, check out the link below:
Just when you thought you'd never hear about a videocassette ever again…they're back! Well…kind of. The New York Times has the details:
"In this age of online streaming and Blu-ray Discs, there is still a place where the bulky VHS cassette endures: the immigrant communities of New York City.
The survival of the format may speak to a frugal strain among some immigrants, particularly those who are older, who seem more reluctant to embrace the throwaway, ever-modernizing consumer culture of America. Why upgrade to today's technology? Those old cassettes do just fine.
"The immigrant very much values what they did not have," said Orlando Tobón, a leader in the Colombian community of Jackson Heights, Queens, who runs a travel agency and tax-preparation office. "And if it still works, they still use it."
In Harlem, a Senegalese-owned store stocks cassettes with movies from the expanding African film industry, and at least two shops in Queens, one owned by a Pakistani and the other by a Bangladeshi, supply Bollywood films on videocassette to the borough's large South Asian population. Latinos with a lingering preference for the format shop at a Peruvian-owned store in Jackson Heights.
In interviews, the stores' owners said videocassette sales and rentals, though now only a small and shrinking slice of their business, were sustained in part by older immigrants who seemed less inclined than the young to adopt new gadgetry."
I remember watching This Week in Baseball on VHS as I was growing up, and then putting it in the VHS rewinder and watching it again. Remember these?
If these seem outdated now, what will we think of DVD players in five years?

Fort Wayne's offense exploded for a season-high 12 runs and 16 hits as the TinCaps obliterated the Kane County Cougars on Friday night.
Travis Whitmore went 4-5 and Justin Miller finished with a three-hit performance. Whitmore and Kyle Gaedele plated three runs, and Duanel Jones, along with Matt Colantonio, had two runs batted in. A 7-for-11 mark with runners in scoring position was also a season best. Cody Hebner pitched five innings, allowing just one run, for the win. The bullpen was brilliant, too, working four innings and giving up just a hit.
A win would give the TinCaps their first back-to-back wins of the year and it would be the team's first series victory in five tries.
In today's TinCaps Report Podcast, hear the highlights from Friday's win, and we stop in with the roster's newest addition, catcher Jeremy Rodriguez:
'Port' Authority, Offensive Outburst, Crazy Commas
Lovely game at Dow Diamond last night as the TinCaps and Loons opened their four-game set. Adys Portillo went six and two thirds, tying his career high for innings pitched. He was just one batter shy of making it through seven full, before issuing a walk with two out. Quite the outing for the 20 year old from Venezuela. Padres Farm Director Randy Smith was following the game closely:
Tip of the TinCap to Willie Blair for all his work with Portillo. Adys deals again tonighht After 2 GS has 0.84 ERA.—
Randy Smith (@ResPadres) April 13, 2012
That's a great turn of phrase right there, hope it's not copyrighted!
Lots of credit is due to the staff for helping Portillo get off to a great start this season. Last year in 23 appearances, only five times did Portillo pitch more than four innings. Jose Valentin told me before the game that during spring training, the staff had Portillo focus on throwing the ball over the plate, even in two-strike counts. The way to corral a wild arm, it seems, was to overcorrect back to the middle and have him throw more strikes than necessary. It has certainly paid off, as Portillo began the year without allowing a hit in his first six innings of work, and has allowed just two in 10 2/3 innings.
Oh, right…there was the big offensive outburst last night, too! In the first inning, Jace Peterson and Travis Whitmore both went deep off of Loons starter Brandon Martinez. You can hear those highlights in today's TinCaps Report Podcast. Also in today's edition, part of my conversation with TinCaps hitting coach Jacque Jones. He gives his thoughts about the team's start at the plate this year, talks about new third baseman Duanel Jones, and explains why he missed work earlier this week (for a very good reason):
Congrats to Jacque, Hello to Cody, Happy Birthday to Jay
Tonight is the second of a three-game series for the TinCaps and the Silver Hawks in South Bend. Monday's game saw Fort Wayne jump out to a 1-0 lead after one inning, but the Silver Hawks had a big fourth, scoring four runs,and never looked back. Right now the TinCaps are hitting just .190, but it's four games in–nothing to worry about. The pitching has been good, especially the bullpen, which has allowed just three earned runs in almost 20 innings of work.
Tonight is the debut of the last member of the five-man rotation: Cody Hebner. The righty was originally scheduled to start on opening day, but he tweaked his ankle and got bumped to the back of the rotation. He put up good numbers last year for Eugene (2-2, 3.35 ERA in 11 games) after being taken in the fourth round by the Padres. Here's how he describes his arsenal:
"My fastball usually sits around 93 mph, but I got it up to 97 a couple of times this year," he said. "I didn't know it at the time, but they told me in the dugout, 'you got it up to 97 that inning.' And I said, 'holy cow, that's hard.' At that level I could probably get away with using my fastball. But I like to approach like a major leaguer and work the batter and throw off-speed as well. I throw a fastball, a seam splitter, a curve ball, a change up and a slider."
Listen to today's TinCaps Report Podcast to hear some of last night's action and comments from pitching coach Willie Blair on what he expects out of his hurlers in the early part of the season:
Three in the Books, Away We Go
The first series of the season has come and gone, and with the dust settled, the TinCaps are 1-2 to begin the year. Here are a few numbers from the first three games:
29: The number of runs scored between Fort Wayne and Lake County in the first series of the year.
8: The differential of runs (16) vs. earned runs (8) surrendered by the TinCaps pitching staff. Kane County has the largest gap, having surrendered 21 runs, with 11 of them being earned.
15: The cumulative number of errors committed by both teams throughout the three-game series.
15, 673: The number of tickets sold for the opening series at Parkview Field. Fan support was great, even with chilly weather for a few of the games.
2: The number of people who found this blog last week using the search term "worlds biggest shark tooth." Thanks for stopping in!
0: Number of home runs hit in the first three games between Fort Wayne and Lake County.
It's off to South Bend on Monday for a three game set with the Silver Hawks. They've gotten off to an identical 1-2 start to the year. We'll see the debut of Bryan, OH native Matt Wisler at 7:05.
Take a listen back to some of the calls from Saturday's game, and hear postgame reaction from TinCaps Manager José Valentin:
Click here for the video recap of Saturday night's game with highlights and analysis from me and Kent Hormann.
The boys are back in town
The TinCaps landed in Fort Wayne yesterday, no problems. The coaches haven't arrived (they're driving their own cars in from wherever they're from). The only real bit of news is that RHP Keyvius Sampson looks like he's going to get the start on Opening Night. From everything I've heard, he's nasty when he's healthy.
Random thoughts:
- If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, well… Fort Wayne should be flattered.
- In a story you read here last week, Former TinCaps C Griffin Benedict is now a big-league bullpen catcher. He says it was kind of a tough decision, believe it or not.
- Padres RHP Dustin Moseley took the loss in St. Louis yesterday, but deserves another start. Of course he does; if the Padres hadn't been shut out we'd be talking about how great of an addition Moseley is.
- There's been a moderate amount of freaking out about Orlando Hudson laying down a sacrifice bunt as the No. 3 hitter in the order. I'm a huge proponent of small-ball and I've never understood why it's that big of a deal. I don't care where you're hitting in the lineup; you are who you are. Putting Orlando Hudson in the three-hole does not make him Albert Pujols. If you have run producers in the 4-5 spots in the lineup (and you should), why is it taboo to stay out of the double play (especially against a sinkerballer like Jake Westbrook) and bunt your way into a second-and-third, one-out situation? And I'd be saying this even if it hadn't turned into a six-run inning.
- Speaking of freaking out, the Red Sox got swept by the Rangers. WE'VE GOT TO KEEP OUR COMPOSURE!
- Still speaking of freaking out, the Royals held their own Futures Game between their Triple-A and Double-A teams. Word is, it was like the Beatles landing in America for the first time. When your team has been so bad for so long, it's only natural to get pumped about prospects but these guys are getting hyped to the point where it's almost impossible for them to live up to it.
- Who does Red Sox manager Terry Francona think he is with those glasses? Harry Potter? John Lennon?
- Indians C Carlos Santana started a triple play in his first MLB appearance at first base as the Indians guaranteed they wouldn't go 0-162.
- In the entire history of baseball, no pitcher has ever been as bad on Opening Day as Indians RHP Fausto Carmona was on Thursday. Thanks a lot, Elias Sports Bureau.
- Rockies RHP Ubaldo Jimenez's thumb is affecting his velocity.
- So what happened was, Jim Edmonds was all, "That Brandon Phillips ain't nothin'" and Brandon Phillips was like, "Hater in da house!" I didn't even make half of that up.
- Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey wants to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro with some athlete friends, including a guy who once bicycled from Connecticut to Mets Spring Training in Florida. Also, Dickey got the idea from reading a book about people getting gangrene while climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. I'm not making any of this up.
- Marlins OF Mike Stanton: He's good.
- What does Neil Diamond do during his down time in South Africa? Make friends, of course.
- Dave Hutte Status Update: "Bought a Cubs royal plush blanket and Packers tree skirt. Both 75 percent off!" Dave Hutte is nothing if not thrifty.
Musical guest… Thin Lizzy!
Take care!

I still think that a) Canibus won vs. LL, b) Canibus and Eminem are the best wordsmiths in hip-hop, 3) Canibus has horrible beat selection and 4) I realize I changed from letters to numbers in making this list. Keith Murray has always been moderately entertaining, and moderately skilled. Hopefully, he has a better ear for tracks, so that when Canibus outshines him on every track (in all likliehood), it a) won't be so bad because the beats are hot, and 2) I did it again.
Read their press release below, announcing their joint album project, The Undergods, scheduled for a Jan. 2010 release, with an EP teaser dropping digitally September 29th on Sound Records for $5.99 at www.SoundRecordsMusic.com.
Listen/Download "Die", here.
[Shouts to The Wonder TwinZ who sent all this out]
Power. Passion. Poetics.
Hip-Hop is littered with emcees that use those three words as the blueprint for their style. But in reality, the list for the few who actually achieve it is painfully short. Rakim, KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane immediately jump out as emcees from an earlier era that best fused these three traits, joining Eminem, Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. from more recent times. You can make arguments about other artists, including but not limited to Chuck D and Mos Def as the most obvious, but there are two artists the mainstream will overlook every time.
Keith Murray and Canibus are emcees that define what it is to be underground hip-hop. Each has had a measure of commercial success, toured the world, sold hundreds of thousands of records and established their names to several generations of fans. But more than that, there is no doubting the credibility a 16 carries when it's attached to their name and it's made them recognized rap heavyweights for nearly 15 years. Respected for their raw lyrics, unique voices and grimy deliveries, the two have joined together in an era when mainstream hip-hop is dying and independent success is no longer measured by record sales. As The UnderGods, Keith Murray and Canibus are ready to bring their brand of Hip-Hop to a place it's never been before.
One of hip-hop's most "beautifullest vocabulists," there is no mystery about Keith Murray other than you never know what he's going to say on a record. With a million-plus records sold, Murray comes into this project with the same pure, rhyme ingenuity he's known for, an eccentric vocabulary, the sandpapery vocals people love and the original edge that endeared him to so many fans sharpened again. For those just jumping on board, Murray smacked Hip-Hop over the head with his Gold-certified debut "The Most Beautifullest Thing in This World." Catapulted by the album's dual smashes – the lead single title cut and its follow-up "Get Lifted" – Keith rapidly established himself as one of hip-hop's most distinctive voices under the sure-handed tutelage and guidance of fellow Def Squad lyrical sharpshooter, Redman, and producer extraordinaire, Erick Sermon.
Canibus came to Hip-Hop by a very different road, albeit a well-traveled one. Born in Jamaica, he called the islands home until he was 13, moving to the Bronx, NY first, then making stops in Washington D.C., Miami, England and Atlanta before eventually settling in New Jersey. With his love for technology in hand, he forayed into the corporate world during the days and quietly honed his craft at night until exploding onto the scene in Atlanta, when he and his partner Webb battled the entire Wu Tang Clan. With respect earned, Canibus parlayed his newly gained props into allegiances with The Lost Boyz, Wyclef, Jay-Z and LL Cool J. The later meeting developed into one of the best rap battles of the 90's, pointing the spotlight for the first-time on Canibus and setting him up for a prolific run of albums, mixtapes and collaborations that endeared him to fans around the world. An early adopter of the Internet, Canibus' fans have already begun buzzing about this project on message boards and sites around the web.
The UnderGods debut EP will drop digitally September 29th on Sound Records for $5.99 at www.SoundRecordsMusic.com, with a brand new, full-length album of 12-14 tracks coming in January. The duo's new music has already hit the Internet with a few early leaks, and the anticipation is building. The projects will feature production from rap icon Erick Sermon of EPMD (Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Redman, Blackstreet), joined by a certified Who's Who of a production team: Streetrunner (LL Cool J, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Slaughterhouse), Jake One (50 Cent, Brother Ali, De La Soul, M.O.P., Slug), Amadeus (50 Cent, Talib Kweli, member of Bad Boy's Hitmen), Da Beatminerz (Eminem, Boot Camp Clik, KRS-One), Shuko and Gordo.

No indication whether this has anything to do with the Pappas restaurants at all; merger/takeover is not impossible but seems unlikely given that they have their own BBQ line already.Now go back to sleep.
Hopefully we get a buy out here soon. Company seems unable to grow on their own. Buying out the New York/Jersey restaurants was a good thing and this new footprint might work, but it takes them forever to move on this stuff. A larger company with more experience could really do well with Dave's. Seems like a no brainer.

I booked this flight less than a week ago when my boss asked me to visit one of our clients just outside Sydney. Having received his approval I called our travel desk to make the arrangements. Although I am a oneworld member, I would've preferred to fly SQ, as I just recently joined the KrisFlyer program and our company usually flies us on SQ. Unfortunately this flight was booked a bit too late and the only seats available were on Qantas and Gulf Air.
As this was going to be only a one day trip to Sydney, I wondered whether or not I should take any luggage with me and instead I should try to fit a shirt, a pair of pants, and toiletries on my laptop bag. Well, turns out my laptop bag is not that big, so I chose the smallest roll-a-board bag I have, and tried to fill it up by taking an extra pair of shoes and a book, should there be any time for reading.
7am came quickly on this Sunday morning and I went down to the lobby of my apartment to wait for a cab with my colleague, as most of my company's employees tend to live in the same building. The cab was about 5 minutes late, but we made it to SIN in an astonishing 12 minutes for just SGD17! That was a first for me.
We went over to the QF counter but could only find the counters for Economy, BA World Traveller +, and oneworld elite members. We found that there was a lounge-like check-in area for Qantas premium passengers, which was really nice. Me and my colleague were taken care of immediately, and managed to get seats next to each other. Here is a pic of the lounge. Mind you: it has to be the crappiest pic I have ever taken. You can barely make out anything, but we were in a bit of a rush since we wanted to go over to Terminal 2 to use the SQ lounge.
Qantas Premier Check-In lounge
We quickly went upstairs to check out the QF/BA lounge, which is located next to the SATS Premier lounge, which I visited on my last trip to BKK, which can be found here Thai Trip I: SIN-BKK-SIN LX Business/Economy PIX! (by Coal Dec 29 2006 in Trip Reports)
The lounge itself was quite large and also very empty at this time of the morning. I couldn't figure out whether or not I liked the décor. It was modern, yet it had this retro '70s look. In a way it reminded me a bit of the pictures that I've seen of LH's First Class Terminal in FRA.
Seeing as the food selection was quite poor here, my colleague suggested we check out the SQ SilverKris lounge in Terminal 2, since he is a KrisFlyer PPS member. So we walked to the SkyTrain station and were on our way to Terminal 2.
SkyTrain to Terminal 2
We got into the SilverKris lounge thanks to my colleague's PPS membership (despite travelling on a non-Star Alliance flight and me being but a simple KrisFlyer member with only about 10,000 miles on account). The lunge was quite large, and was nearly at full occupancy, or so it seemed. The food choices were much better here. There were scrambled eggs and bread rolls and there was also a selection of noodles with chicken. Being one to try anything at least once, I decided to go with the noodles at this early hour. Quite tasty! This was washed down with two cappuccinos and a glass of orange juice.
SilverKris lounge at SIN Terminal 2
Breakfast at the SilverKris lounge
It was already 8:15, so we decided it was time to head back to Terminal 1 for our 9:05 flight. We left the SilverKris lounge and took the SkyTrain back to T1. After a quick pit-stop to get rid of some liquid excrement (to quote [url=]Singapore_Air[/url]), we got to gate C13, were our Boeing 747-438 was waiting to take us to Sydney.

Our departure time of 9:05am came by and no announcement had been made to board or to explain why we were delayed. But the wait was over at 9:10am, when the gate agents called boarding for people needing assistance, First and Business class passengers, and oneworld elite members. As me and my colleagues made our way past the gate, we overheard one lady muttering something along the lines of: "you didn't even pay for that ticket," possibly referring to us and the other businessmen boarding at this time. Well, she may be right, but there is a reason why companies fly their employees in business class!
Boarding was done through two jetbridges, however all the passengers were using jetbridge A, usually reserved for First and Business class passengers. As we got on the plane, we were greeted by the F/As and showed to our seats for today, 24J and 24K. We stowed our laptops and roll-a-boards on the over head bins, and sat down. We were quickly greeted by our lovely F/A, who offered us a choice of champagne, orange juice, and water, along with copies of the WSJ Asia and the Morning Herald.
Seat 24K
Pushback was done at 9:30am, but little did we know that we would be taxiing for the next 30mins. Strange to see out the window that SQ flights were getting priority over our QF flight . It was exactly at 10:05am that our trusty steed rolled down the runway and shot up into the Singapore sky, making a near immediate right turn to the South and headed down under.
The routing today took us over Eastern Sumatra, and I could only think about the poor souls of Adam Air's flight that went down two weeks ago. Hopefully they will be able to find their remains them soon. The flight continued to make its way south at 39,000 feet above the millions of islands located in this part of the world. We would then continue south into Australia just west of Darwin, down into the Outback, southwest of Alice Springs, over Broken Hill (which reminded me of the humble beginnings of my company), and straight into Sydney.
The flight was quite good and I was left with a happy impression of my first time flying on The Spirit of Australia. The seat was quite comfy even though I did not fully recline it, as I was watching the movies and working on board. The service was top notch, and our lovely and pretty F/A catered to all our needs. The service began with a pack of mixed nuts and a can of Victoria Bitter. I asked a colleague from Melbourne what beer I should order when in Aussie, and he suggested VB. Can't say he was wrong! Definitely a good beer. I was also surprised that they had Foster's on board. I thought they didn't even sell that stuff in Australia!
Smoked Salmon with Tartar Sauce
Fresh greens
Bread roll and butter
Seared Snapper with Mashed Potatoes
Assorted Seasonal Cheeses
Upside Down Pineapple Cake
Fresh Fruit
The main was washed down with a Sauvignon Blanc and the delicious Pineapple Cake with a coffee.
During the meal I decided to explore the IFE. The system was AVOD and the selection was ok, if not a bit limited. There was a selection of premier movies, recent hits, classics, international film, and Australian film. I started watching Borat, which I had already seen with a Chinese colleague. I wanted to see it again in order to enjoy it without the need of explaining everything to my seat mate. However just around the time Borat attends the social event with Alabama's "crème de la crème" (is there such a thing in Alabama!?), I decided to switch to another movie. It just didn't feel right being so far away from home and being reminded of all the things that are wrong with the US. So to lighten the mood, I decided to watch "Trust the Man." I guess in the end it made me a bit aware of the fact that I hadn't been in a relationship in a long, long time, but hey, there are upsides to that! Following the movie I decided to do some work on my laptop while listening to RHCP's Stadium Arcadium. Quite good, actually, especially song 2. Following this, our lovely F/A came over offering us coffee and Toblerone bars! Very nice treat! She also asked us if we would like to have a focaccia sandwich before landing. Me and my colleague asked for the Salmon focaccia, which came with cream cheese and grilled zucchini. At this time I decided to check out another movie and decided on beer fest. Being a fan of Broken Lizard (the guys that brought you Super Troopers and Club Dread), I thought it was only fair to watch the third iteration of Chandrakessar's work. I only managed to watch about 15 mins, and must say I wasn't entirely amused. In any case, the captain had already come on the PA at this time announcing our descent into Sydney.
Our descent into Sydney seemed quite steep and quite fast and we flew a straight approach into the airport. Being my first time in Sydney, I was not familiar with the airport and did not know on which rwy we had landed. After leaving the rwy we made our way to Terminal 1 and docked at gate 32. We got off the plane fairly quick, cleared immigration and customs, and were on our way to our airport hotel for the night.

Our stay in Australia was very short. We visited a client south of Sydney early in the morning, and we got a chance to see a bit of the Australian sea and beaches. Ahhh, so inviting!
The beach in Wollongong
After a morning of meetings it was time to head back to Sydney airport for our flight back to Singapore. After filling up the car and dropping it off at the rental car return, we made our way to the departures level of Terminal 1. My original flight was QF 5, which was to leave at 5:00pm and arrive in Singapore at 9:40pm. I had also been waitlisted on QF 31 should I not make the 5' o'clock flight. A quick call to our travel desk and I had a confirmed seat on QF 31, thus having a bit more time to go to the Qantas Club lounge for a shower.
Our ride for our short stay in Sydney for the ridiculously low amount of AUD44!
Check-in was done in the D area. There was a dedicated row of counters for First, Business, and Qantas Club members, although it wasn't nearly as nice as the Premier counters in Singapore. I went first while my other two colleagues waited in line. The lady at the check-in counter suggested I take QF 5 as that flight had more seats available and me and my two colleagues could seat together. After about 5 mins of arguing among ourselves we decided we all wanted a bite and a shower at the lounge, so we stuck to QF 31. Check-in done, we proceeded to clear customs, where we stood in line behind a group of about 5 girls in their early twenties who were overly excited about the glamour of going to Paris. Too bad they would be seated in row 54 and not row 13 .
After immigration and a bit of a shopping spree at the duty free by one of my colleagues, we got to the Qantas Club lounge and the three of us headed straight for the shower. It was definitely refreshing and I welcomed the change of clothes from business casual to jeans and a tshirt (although I did once work for a company in which business casual was jeans and a tshirt).
Towel and the essentials for a refreshing shower
The shower was great! The warm water and the high pressure sprinkler really refreshed me. After this I joined my colleagues in the lounge area for a quick nibble to keep our stomachs happy before dinner on the plane.

Zucchini Potato soup
The selection of food, although small, was very nice and tasty. There was the delicious zucchini potato soup, an assortment of bread rolls, tuna sandwiches, humus, a selection of cheeses, Asian veggies, and drinks galore. I had a bowl of soup, a bit of the Asian vegetables, and a couple of bread rolls with humus and Camembert cheese.

5:20pm came around and we made our way to gate 32, where our flight had already been called for boarding. Luckily there was a dedicated line for premium passengers and we managed to cut through the long line of passengers seated in the back.

Seat: 16A
We had an on-time departure and after a quick taxi we were lined up on the rwy (again, apologies for not knowing which rwy it was, as I am still not familiar with Sydney airport). Seconds after 6:00pm we were shooting up in the Sydney afternoon sky on our way to the City-state of Singapore.
Seat 13B
Seat 13A
I originally had been assigned seat 13B. However, there was a passenger in a cast on seat 16A, which was the window emergency seat. The female F/A on the upper deck came to my seat and asked if I could possibly switch with the guy in 16A, as he and his crutches would clearly be an inconvenience in case of an emergency. The guy in 16A didn't really fancy moving, and I cannot help but sympathize with him, as being in a cast and being put further away from the emergency exit doesn't help his cause. In any case, I was happy I had both the window seat and the extra space for my trips to the restroom throughout the flight.
Row 16 on the upper deck
Massive legroom on seat 16A
The business class cabin on the upper deck
This was only my second time seated on the upper deck of the 747, and it felt a bit different than the first time. The first time was on board an AF 744 which was configured with Tempo seats on the upper deck. Somehow the seats seemed higher this time around and on take off the climb didn't feel so steep. Maybe it had to do with the big difference between AF Tempo and QF Business seats?
Shortly after takeoff the seatbelt signs were off and I whipped out my laptop to catch up on some work and to write a few long, personal emails I intented to send as soon as I got home. I also got a chance to write up the first part of this trip report. I find it always helps to break up the writing of the trip report in order not to get tired writing about one leg and lazy about the other.
A few minutes later after the seatbelt signs were off, the female F/A on the upper deck handed out our menus, which included the choices for the SYD-SIN and SIN-LHR sectors (QF 31 continues on to LHR). We were also offered a drink, and although I thought about going healthy and just ordering a bottle of Evian, I decided I quite liked VB (Victoria Bitter) on the outbound leg of my trip and decided to have it again.
About an hour into the flight the F/A came around offering landing cards for those getting off in Singapore (and for those needing them) and taking orders for dinner. The food on today's flight was as following (note that I only list what I ate, not the entire menu):
Crab and carrot cakes
Fresh greens
Bread roll and butter
Poached Snapper in coconut milk with Garam Masala
Seasonal fresh fruit (blueberries, cherries, mango, melon, and watermelon)
The main was washed down again with a Sauvignon Blanc and coffee followed the plate of fresh fruit.
I must say that the food on Qantas has to be the best I've had on board to this date! They really excelled on this area on both flights.
After the coffee rounds the cabin lights were dimmed and most people on the upper deck went to sleep, save for this lady seated in 13J who did not recline her seat at all during the entire flight and did not make use of the IFE. Seriously, why pay for business class then? She just stared in front of her seat for the whole flight.
At this time I decided to check out the movie library again and see if there was anything worth seeing. I decided to finish "Beerfest," which unsurprisingly was disappointing. After that I decided to try and sleep for a bit since I would have to do some work upon arrival in Singapore. I tuned the CD library again to RHCP's Stadium Arcadium and put the seat on the fully reclined position. I must say that this was not very comfortable, as there was a hump around the lumbar area. I found the Z position to be much better for sleeping. I must say that in this regard the (now old) Club World seat on BA is much better in the fully reclined position.
After sleeping for about an hour and a half, I went back to the galley for another bottle of water. When I came back to my seat I saw that we still had about another 3 hours of flight to go, so I could watch another movie in its entirety. I first started watching "World Trade Center," but didn't find it that interesting. I then tried to watch "Fast Food Nation," but could only watch for about 10mins before getting bored again. So I decided to tune to "The Interpreter" and quite enjoyed that movie. Plus Nicole Kidman is so beautiful! About halfway through the movie the F/As came around offering another round of drinks and sandwiches. I had a cup of coffee, half of which ended up on my lap due to turbulence. I also had the grilled pastrami and eggplant baguette. Again, Qantas excelling in the quality of their food! Quite a tasty sandwich, and the dressing was similar to that found on Quiznos' Black Angus Steak.

The moment Ashley Guin, Shekinah Lampkin and Christi Strickland step out on stage to open Magic City Actors Theatre's "Little Shop of Horrors," you know it's going to be a treat.
Actually, you know a few minutes before that, gazing at Ben Boyer's spot-on graphic-novel-like backdrops that form Skid Row.
But when the ladies start to sing, and they can sing, the fun really begins, and it doesn't end until they sound the last notes 90 minutes later.
"Little Shop of Horrors" has long been a community theater staple. The cast is small for the story of Seymour Krelborn, the meek florist worker who discovers a strange new plant that happens to be a man-eater, and the music — despite the subject matter — is upbeat and fun.
We've had our share of "Little Shops," and this is certainly one of the best.
Dane Peterson is well cast as Seymour, although sound problems at a final dress rehearsal often had him drowned out by the orchestra. That should be fixed. Peterson is a better actor than singer, but he manages to make numbers like "Mushnik & Son" and "Grow for Me" work.
Where: Virginia Samford Theatre, 1116 26th St. South
When: Through June 27 Tickets: 251-1206 or www.mcactorstheatre.com
Bottom line: Review gets four out of five stars
Tawny Stephens ranks right up there with the best Audreys, exhibiting a powerful voice on songs such as "Somewhere That's Green" and "Suddenly Seymour." Audrey is a complex character for musical theater — an abused woman trying to get out of a bad relationship — and Stephens captures all of that turmoil, balancing it with deft comic timing.
Kyle Holman plays Orin, Audrey's dentist-boyfriend, to the hilt. The Elvis-like aura and sly comic moments are tailor-made for him, and he makes the most of them.
Likewise with Lonnie Parsons, virtually unrecognizable as Mushnik, the elderly floral shop owner. Who knew Parsons, long one of Birmingham's best singers, could act, too?
James Mackey Atkinson, Cody Hays, Carrie Morgan and Natalie Valentine complete the cast, mostly dancing Carl Dean and Kathryn Tully's distinctive choreography.
Directors Dean and Leah Faulkner and musical director Michael King have chosen to take "Little Shop" in a darker direction than others have before, but it doesn't take away from the fun. And it certainly doesn't take away from the bounty of talent on stage.

Virgin Atlantic has reported its first loss in eight years after experiencing "one of the toughest years" in its history.
Sir Richard Branson's carrier said that it lost £132 million in the year to the end of March compared with a profit of £68.4 million the previous year.
The losses exceed the previous low-point of £92.6 million in 2002.
Revenues also fell by 8.6 per cent to £2.3 billion, forcing the airline to cut costs by 8 per cent and offer redundancy to staff.

$1 million bail for suspects in shooting
By MIKE HALLIDAY
Staff writer
The King County prosecuting attorney has put out a $1 million warrant for a suspect in the shooting death of a Federal Way man on State Route 167 on March 12.
Juan Johnny Zavala Rodriguez, 20, was being sought this week for the death of Dee Anthony Davis.
Earlier this week, Michael Rideaux, 23, of Tacoma and Rick Rae, 21, of Spanaway, other suspects in the shooting, were picked up by Auburn Police.
Authorities have charged Rideaux and Rodriguez with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and assault in the first degree.
The suspects could face 50-year prison sentences.
Rideaux is being held on $1 million bail, as would Rodriguez if hes arrested. The amount is based on the extreme risk the suspects would pose to the community and witnesses of the shooting if they men were released, authorities said.
The suspected weapon, believed to be an AK-47, was recovered, and the remains of the suspects vehicle a 1994 Honda Accord was found after it had been set on fire, authorities said.
Davis, 19, was shot while driving his Honda Passport early in the morning in Auburn. According to investigators, Davis and two passengers in his vehicle left an apartment in Pacific after getting into a fight with some people there during a party. A second car followed Davis and while on SR-167, an automatic weapon was fired. Police estimated more than 20 rounds were shot into Davis vehicle.
After the gunfire, Davis car crossed the median into the freeways southbound lanes and stopped in some brush. When state troopers responded to the scene, they found Davis dead and the two passengers wounded.
An autopsy of Davis revealed he was shot nine times, the county medical examiner reported.
According to authorities, Rodriguez and Rideaux have had run-ins with the law before. Rodriguez was convicted for drunk-driving offenses in 2001 and 2002 and two misdemeanors. Rideaux was convicted of felony harassment in 2004 and has a pending DUI.

It definitely did not take long for online gaming to leap on the virtual band wagon right after the world wide web had been opened up to the public.Not everything went evenly at first considering that various governments and jurisdictions just didn't quite recognise in which way to handle this unfamiliar situation in the most advantageous manner..Read More
It did not take too long for the online gaming industry to jump on the Internet band wagon soon after the internet had been opened up to the public. It has had to deal with a fairly varying history, ranging from initial laissez-faire conditions to tightly imposed restrictions in lots of jurisdictions, some of which continue to be cultivated. Needless to say, technologies and general policies changed substantially in this space as with pretty much all online commercial sectors and markets. In the meantime, a lot of jurisdictions changed their protocols and chose to regulate, and not restrict online gambling operators, establishing a legal framework, thus converting the field into a very lucrative fresh source of administrative funding. The pretty foreseeable end result - a wave of online gambling membership sites which are really easily accessible for nearly everybody from their browser or alternatively, these days, their iPad.Read More

text: RED DOT is a vetted, hotel-based art fair in New York where approximately 45 galleries will show and sell works to the public on three adjacent floors of the elegant Park South Hotel. Galleries participating in RED DOT come from across the US and abroad. RED DOTs roster includes young dealers exhibiting for the first time, as well as more established dealers turned off by the pressures of other art fairs. This is why RED DOT is of special interest to art lovers and savvy art collectors wishing to get beyond what is currently popular to see what is percolating in areas as yet undiscovered by the mainstream.
