Motorists were slowing down to see why a half dozen vehicles from the Bee County Sheriffs Office swarmed the 777 Amusement Center at that location.
The reason for the raid, according to District Attorney José Aliseda, was to stop illegal gambling activity at the business.
Undercover investigators already had been in the business to obtain evidence for a search warrant.
In a prepared statement released Tuesday morning, Aliseda said, "Yesterday, an investigator from my office, with the assistance of the Bee County Sheriff's Department, conducted a very successful raid on an eight-liner establishment in Skidmore, Texas.
"Along with seizing over $17,000 in cash, contraband and equipment of criminal activity, and most importantly, the building and real estate, were also seized and are now subject to forfeiture to the state."
No arrests were made, Aliseda said. But statements were taken from the 21 patrons who were in the business when the deputies entered the building and blocked the doors.
As some deputies interviewed the owner and at least one employee, deputies allowed the patrons to leave one at a time.
As they stepped outside, Deputy Rick Villarreal questioned each one, took down their names, ages, addresses and phone numbers and asked them how many times they had been inside the business before.
Most of the patrons claimed that it was their first time at the business and that they had not been paid cash for winning at the machines and had not seen anyone else being paid in cash.
One male patron admitted that he had been to the amusement center about five times and that he had been paid about $150 after winning at the machines.
He also said he had seen others paid in cash.
Another male customer and one female confirmed that they also had seen patrons paid in cash.
That will likely be enough evidence to convince Bee County Grand Jury members to return indictments against the owners.
Running a game room or amusement center is not, in itself, against the law. But when patrons are paid in cash for winning at the machines, that becomes a violation of Texas gambling laws.
Aliseda said his intention is to bring patrons of the game rooms before grand jurors to provide evidence of that criminal (gambling) activity.
Sheriff Carlos Carrizales Jr. said following some earlier raids on eight-liner establishments that it is easy to determine which of the game rooms are paying cash to their customers. Those are the ones that attract the largest crowds.
"The real estate owners of the property where these establishments are located need to understand that their property is subject to forfeiture to the state because of the illegal activity that is occurring in their buildings," Aliseda said. "They, too, could be charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, a felony, for allowing this activity to occur on their property."
The prosecutor said property owners where these establishments are operated need to know that collecting rent, often in cash, and turning a blind eye to the gambling that the public commonly knows about can lead to consequences.
Aliseda said additional raids and seizures of property will be coming soon. He also wants property owners in Bee, Live Oak and McMullen counties to know of the potential consequences involved in allowing illegal gambling to continue.
"Besides harboring activities that are illegal in this state, they have become public nuisances," the prosecutor said.
"Their patrons are addicted to gambling and we have had two robberies occur at them," Aliseda said. "They and their patrons are easy prey because of the lax security and large sums of cash that are collected every night from illegal activity."
"The patrons of these establishments need to understand that law enforcement had been collecting their license plates numbers while they are parked at these establishments and it is my intention to begin subpoenaing these patrols to the grand juries in Bee, Live Oak and McMullen counties to testify about their activities and the occurrences at these eight-liner establishments," Aliseda said. "Under the criminal laws of this state, they can be made to testify truthfully or be subject to contempt and perjury charges."
The district attorney said the owners and staff of the eight-liner establishments need to understand that local law enforcement agencies and the 156th District of Texas use undercover officers and confidential informants to collect evidence of illegal gambling in those establishments.
"It is my intention to use their own patrols and customers to provide evidence against them that could subject them to felony charges," Aliseda said.
During the questioning of patrons at the 777 Amusement Center, at least two male customers and one female customer told deputies that they had witnessed patrons being paid in cash.
Deputies conducted an inventory of the property Monday evening before boarding up the building. Some of the officers involved in the raid did not get back home until the early morning hours Tuesday.
At least 51 of the so-called eight-liner machines were found inside the building.
Those who took part in the raid included Deputy Investigators Lt. John Davis and Adam Levine and patrol Deputies Sgt. Brandon Burdick, Rick Villarreal, Jaime Catete and Ryan Treviño.
Aliseda said the raid would not have been possible without the assistance of the Bee County Sheriff's Office and its deputies.

Platycodon are care-free, long lived and very easy to grow. Avoid too moist (wet feet). Tolerant of neglect. Good for the Rock garden, border or as a ground cover.
Prefers highly organic, moist but well drained soil. Plants are slow to establish but long lived once mature. Plants can be cut back by half in late May/Early June to promote bushiness and compact habit. Dislikes being divided or transplanted due to long taproot. Remove dead stems after leaves drop in fall and cut back to 6. Benefits from watering during dry spells.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

The Seat Ibiza is the Spanish firm's strongest-selling car – both overall and in the British market – and, as we're about to outline, this is with good reason.
Like many of its rivals, it comes in three body variants: a stylish, if traditionally shaped, five door, a more rakish three-door hatch (called the SportCoupé) and an estate that's also a bit of a looker.
The engine line-up mirrors that of VW's Polo, using the same engines to good effect: two versions of the three-cylinder 1.2, a 1.2 TSI, a cooking 1.4 and warm and warmer 1.4 TSIs for the FR and Cupra versions. The diesels are a 1.2 that's pretty economical in standard form, and gets a green makeover for Ecomotive models. A 1.6-litre, 104bhp mid-range option was introduced recently to all three Ibizas, and a 2.0 that the Polo doesn't get for another warm, but more mpg-friendly, FR.
There's less engine choice in the estate – it doesn't get anything remotely warm or hot, for obvious reasons.
E is the entry-level trim available only on the cut-price, low-powered 1.2, then there's S (which includes air con), SE and Sport, plus FR and Cupra (and special edition Bocanegra) in that order of performance.

I was set free with the debit card the other day to do some grocery shopping. And that can't be a good thing.
I've never trusted debit cards because I've never trusted myself with them. Too many chances for purchases to go unrecorded in the checkbook register, which is where the money comes from.
And I can't even be trusted with a checkbook. Never could make it balance, and that spelled trouble routinely. If your checkbook doesn't balance, you are going to overdraw your account.
It never was my mistake to make an error to the positive. It seems like I never wrote checks when I had too much money in the account. I regularly was caught with not quite enough money, and I wouldn't find out until the overdraft notices started appearing in the mail.
I became so adept at overdrawing my account that I didn't even need to open the letter from the bank, nicking me for $20 for an overdraft fee. I could tell by the weight of the envelope. And if things were bad, the overdrafts would pile up over a few days.
I had a friend in the checking department at the bank who would help me out from time to time, trying to come up with a correct balance for my checking account, sometimes voiding overdrafts. But I really was beyond help.
Balancing a checking account should be a relatively easy thing to do: You start off with a pile of money and write checks against it, doing the simple subtraction every so often and adding in the every-other-week paychecks that were automatically deposited into your account. Then you would have to take into account the monthly checking-account fees, and the occasional fee to buy new checks.
Those last two had to be the culprits to collapsing my house-of-cards checking account. They were variables that I couldn't keep track of, and over the period of several months or a year, they could add up to quite a subtraction.
From the day of opening my checking account, I think only the first month might have balanced, where I had exactly the same amount of money as the bank said I did. After that, it was guesswork. Throw in the regular fees plus the overdraft fees, and I was in real trouble on almost a monthly basis.
Once I got married, I surrendered to my good wife, and we opened a joint account. My paycheck would be deposited, and that's all I had to worry about. She was able to make the checkbook balance every month, and I could only marvel at her mathematical and financial abilities.
Somewhere along the line, the bank offered a debit card, which eliminated the need for writing out actual checks. And it gave you the option of charging the purchase against your checking account or credit card. All you needed to do was swipe your debit card on the machine, enter your four-digit personal identification number, and the purchase was finalized.
I didn't want to carry a debit card. What would happen if I made a purchase and forgot about it, not recording it in the check register? What would happen if I made a purchase and there wasn't enough funds in the account to pay for it? What if my brain froze and I couldn't remember the secret personal identification number?
So, if I was going to use the checking account, I would bring along the checkbook. I would fly against the face of progress.
I was going to go shopping for groceries the other day after work, and when I asked my good wife for the list, she asked whether I wanted a check, the checkbook or the debit card. I swallowed hard and said debit card. I was nervous all day.
I did my shopping, stood in line making sure I remembered the personal identification number and waited my chance to use the debit card solo. I swiped the card, told the machine I didn't want any cash back, then proceeded to make a mistake on the secret number.
I canceled the transaction, and the machine responded with a number of acronyms that made no sense, although the one called EBT, or something like that, seemed close to "debit," so I chose it. And I was wrong, so I canceled that, and started all over. The line was long, and I was certain everyone in line was wondering what I was trying to get away with.
The second time through worked without fault, and I was on my way, making sure I had my receipt in hand to prove the amount of the purchase for the checkbook register.
I succeeded, but more than that, I proved a point: I could make a debit card work. But I don't think I want a repeat performance. Give me the check, please.

A petition for a wet/dry vote in Owen County recently began circulating, which Owen County Clerk Joan Kincaid said could lead to a costly special election.
The petition asks if Owen countians would be in favor of the sale of alcoholic beverages in Owen County.
To get the petition on the ballot, 901 Owen County registered voters will have to sign the petition.
The amount of signatures needed represents 25 percent of the number of votes cast in the last general election.
Kincaid said 3,604 Owen countians voted in the 2010 general election.
Many Owen County farmers have been concerned over the fall and winter about how their pastures will come back after last summer's drought. What are the chances that the grass and clover will return this spring? How can I evaluate what I have now? What will it cost to reseed and renovate this spring, and will it pay? What weed problems can we expect, and how should they be dealt with? What, if anything, could have been done differently last year to help protect pastures from drought?
Keith Miller, agent for Modern Woodmen of America, presents a check to Mike Marston and Delores Dempsey in the amount of $2,480 as a result of a matching-fund project, with proceeds being raised by sale of Owen County Rebel Wear for the Owen County Youth Soccer League. Modern Woodmen of America is a 128-year old fraternal insurance society providing many benefits to both families and community.
Cathy Jansen left Owen County three years ago to open a prom dress store in Tulsa, Okla., and now she is bringing one back to Owen County. After being in Tulsa and talking to girls in Owen County and the surrounding area, Jansen saw a need for the same type of store here. "Girls in this area don't have a place to go to purchase prom gowns from the top prom designers. The Palace will meet this need," Jansen said.
Eligible livestock producers, with 2010 NAP coverage have until Jan. 30, to sign-up for the Livestock Forage Disaster Program.
The LFP provides compensation to eligible livestock producers that have suffered grazing losses for covered livestock on land that is native or improved pastureland planted specifically for grazing.
The grazing losses must be due to a qualifying drought condition during the normal grazing period for the county.
Owen County has met qualifications for D-3 drought conditions.

Postcards from the edge:
Ohio State men's basketball coach Thad Matta has a nonconference scheduling formula that works for him and he sticks to it, which means that fans hoping for some terrific home games in November and December seem destined to be disappointed.
Matta looks for a neutral-site game in a tournament (Notre Dame in New York's Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21) and plays two other major conference teams, including one in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge. When that game is at home, as it is this year against Maryland on Dec. 4, he plays the other one on the road, at Marquette on Nov. 16.Mix in a Mid-American Conference team at home, Ohio University on Nov. 12, and a dreary parade of scrubs, and you've pretty much got the nonconference schedule.
Although it's a downer for fans to pay for a seemingly endless succession of "games" that don't have the entertainment value of a Brady Bunch rerun, trying to blame these nonconference stinkers for the Buckeyes' poor shooting against Wichita State in the NCAA Tournament is ridiculous.
Matta would play Kentucky, Duke and Kansas every year if he thought it would guarantee him a spot in the Final Four.
• Now that Gary Player has appeared nude in ESPN the Magazine, I can scratch No. 1,678,453 off my list of people I hoped to see nude. If you think that's only because I couldn't come up with any other names, you're wrong. Rest assured that Newt Gingrich ranks behind the buff 79-year-old professional golfer.
• If the American League operated the way some minor leagues do, the Cleveland Indians would be in position to qualify for the postseason by winning the first half. Their first half concluded on Monday with a half-game lead over the Detroit Tigers.
With Major League Baseball constantly looking for ways to add teams to the postseason regardless of their legitimacy, this would do the trick. The Pittsburgh Pirates would have made it last year. They had a two-game lead over the eventual division champion Cincinnati Reds at the halfway point, and they finished with their record 20th consecutive losing season.
• After the Blue Jackets selected Austrian forward Marko Dano on Sunday with their third first-round draft pick of the NHL draft, a reporter from another local outlet guaranteed on Twitter that the team would make the playoffs. I shut Twitter down 10 seconds after that. Coincidence?
• When the Atlantic Coast Conference welcomed Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame this week, it reminded me that all of the league-hopping might force us to adjust our perceptions more in basketball than football.
A friend recently spoke of what a downer it must be for Cincinnati to know that Xavier is in the new Big East while the Bearcats are in the old Big East, now the American Athletic Conference.But it's also important to remember that even though the new Big East is strong — Butler and Creighton entered with Xavier — when the league was at its height in basketball, Connecticut (now in the AAC), Boston College (ACC), Syracuse and Pitt all were major players.Creighton ain't Syracuse.
• Sorry to see longtime fan favorite Tyler Wright leave the Blue Jackets, but if John Davidson and Jarmo Kekalainen thought he belonged in another job, their judgment should be respected. In pro sports, winning trumps nostalgia.
• As a follow-up to Rob Oller's excellent column on the foolishness of mock drafts, the foolishness of predraft rankings and the TV pundits who treat them like gospel also deserve a nod. It helps to remember that if some clueless team had drafted eventual sixth-round pick Tom Brady in the first round of the 2000 NFL draft, the pundits would have rolled their eyes, shook their heads sadly and described it as a reach.

A group that helps prevent the spread of coqui frogs and other invasive species on Oahu will be forced to lay off staff if additional funding is not secured by the end of October.
The Oahu Invasive Species Committee helps the state Department of Agriculture stop the spread of alien pests while also educating the public about the threat and harm such creatures pose.
But if additional funding is not secured, the number of experts hunting for critters like the coqui frog will drop dramatically.
"We need about $200,000 to make it through the rest of the year, and we do not currently have any secured funding for the next fiscal year," said Julia Parish, manager of the OISC.
The Committee needs about $1.2 million per year to continue current operations, which includes a staff of 13 conducting a variety of field work and public outreach to help control target species such as the miconia plant and coqui frog.
The OISC lobbied the legislature for additional funding, but with other demands such as public worker pay raises and concerns over sequestration looming large over lawmakers, the effort has failed to produce any dividends.
"I think with all of the responsibilities that they have and the current outlook for the state and federal budget, it is a really difficult time for any organization," Parish told KITV4.
Last September, the OISC conducted an island-wide "listening event," urging residents to use the city's 311 smartphone application to report possible coqui frog locations. Although 12 reports that required further examination turned out to be false, the event was nonetheless considered a success.
"A lot of people mistook the common greenhouse frog for the coqui, and so now they have a better understanding of what a greenhouse frog looks like, and that they're actually more likely to hear a coqui frog than see one."
So far this year, there have been five reports of coqui frogs on Oahu, on two inter-island barges, a cargo plane, at an Alewa Heights home and at a Waimanalo nursery.
"We help the Hawaii Department of Agriculture and their staff respond to these reports," said Lara Reynolds, outreach specialist with the OISC, "whether it's actually going to a location, or just serving as an outlet for information so the public is better educated about what coqui frogs sound like and how to report them."
Coqui infestations have already proven detrimental on the Big Island because of the male frogs' piercing mating call, which at 90 decibels, drives down property values and scares away tourists.
Reynolds says residents should be especially alert for possible coqui "spottings" as nights on Oahu grow warmer, since the tiny frogs mate less frequently in cooler temperatures.
"During the winter months, they actually don't call. So, they would be silent more in the winter time," said Reynolds.
Anyone who believes a coqui frog may be present in an area, is urged to call the state's pest hotline at 643-PEST.
Funding may run dry for invasive species group
A group that helps prevent the spread of coqui frogs and other invasive species on Oahu will be forced to lay off staff if additional funding is not secured by the end of October.

First, a Giclée print is made on Ilford paper and mounted to beautiful 1/4-inch acrylic, clear on the face and black on the back. All edges flush and polished, and the corners subtly tapered. Finally, a natural pine wood inset frame and Z-mount are added to the back, ready for hanging. Custom mounting styles are also possible.
Flowers are rectangular, and Butterflies and Birds are square (except for Peacock). Custom sizes are available, depending on the artwork. Some of my pieces are not available in every size.
Reproductions of my Paintings are available as well.
Please contact me directly to purchase a fine art piece or commission an original.
My artwork serves as a great springboard to discuss green business, sustainability, health, personal growth, and the beauty of the human body.

Feel bad for Danica
When they bring Copes name in comparison to Danica because they are both women. I have to feel bad for Danica. I do agree with Harvick, where (either of the) Copes arent good enough to even carry Danicas helmet for her. I didnt even realize it was Cope in that car until Harvick said "she" in post race interview, but did watch her make some real bad moves during the race, even before the Harvick incident. Then to have Cope attack Harvick & claim it was Harvicks fault on twitter LOL.
Poor Danica being mentioned in the same sentence as Amber.

""Corporate executives should be your core business…You need [salespeople who are] comfortable with the kind of boardroom leaders that see Lear Jet as a tool, not a frivolous extravagance for movie stars and their pets. "
The NBAA's Big Bash
Much has changed since last fall, when the National Business Aviation Association held its 61st Annual Meeting and Convention in Orlando. When the event returns to the city October 20 to 22 with the theme "Helping Business Aviation Ascend," the focus will be on how the industry can thrive in today's challenging economic climate-and in the wake of the negative publicity that corporate aircraft have recently attracted.
When it began in 1947, the NBAA convention was exclusively for industry folks, but today it offers many resources for business jet passengers as well. In addition to sizing up the 125 airplanes on the static display, for example, visitors can attend seminars on topics such as insurance, taxes and safety. Check www.nbaa.org for up-to-date listings.

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin simply smiled Wednesday when asked about the new anti-flopping penalties in the NBA this season.
"It's a good way for the NBA to get more money," Griffin said.
The new rules, announced Wednesday by the league, state players will get a warning the first offense, and will then be fined $5,000 for a second violation. The fines increase to $10,000 for a third offense, $15,000 for a fourth and $30,000 for the fifth time. Six or more could lead to a suspension.
"I guess it's good in the sense that it stops any of that from happening but at the same time you're telling me if it's Game 7 of the NBA Finals and a guy has a chance to make a play, he's going to be like, 'Well, do I want this $10,000 or do I want a championship?' Do you know what I mean?" Griffin said. "It's one of those things that's after the fact and not going to win or lose games for anybody."
Griffin has been one of the more high-profile players in the league accused of flopping by opponents but didn't think the rule necessarily applied to him or the Clippers. He was still unsure how it would affect games next season with the punishments coming after the games are over.
"It's good in a sense that it'll cut down on [flopping] but the whole idea of that is to not have it affect the way the game is going," Griffin said. "And as of now it has no affect on it."
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said he and other NBA coaches talked about a possible flopping rule during meetings a couple of weeks ago in Chicago but was still unsure how it would change the game.
"It's going to be interesting to see how they view that from a league perspective," Del Negro said. "It's a rule and we're going to have to abide by that. If that's what the commissioner wants to do and the competition committee wants to do, we'll adhere to it. We're going to discuss that a little bit more later [with the team]. The rule came out today and we just played in a scrimmage so we'll talk about it. I don't really see any of our guys having issues with it, per se. It's going to be a feeling-out process for everybody, in terms of how you're going to handle certain things."
Del Negro felt today's players are perhaps more scrutinized when it comes to flopping than in the past because of enhanced technology.
"I just think there's more cameras, more HD, there's social media networks and everything," Del Negro said. "There's just so much more coverage on things that it gets exposed a little bit more."
When Clippers forward Caron Butler was told about the rule, he said he hadn't heard about it before but thought it would be a good thing for the league.
"I don't think we have a flopping problem on this team," Butler said. "I don't watch a lot of other teams and I didn't have the luxury of watching other teams last year with the condensed schedule but over the years you see some calls and some plays that you say, 'He sold it.' If they got (a new rule) in place, it's probably better for the game."

Thank you for visiting the home of The Hollyfelds! We appreciate it!
Upcoming shows
Listen to what these fine folk have to say, we didn't even bribe them:
"Alt-country perfection."
-The Denver Post
". . .an endlessly enchanting band."
-Westword Music Blog
"Throughout the album, the deft, soulful musicianship of all five Hollyfelds stand out, but it's Eryn's and Kate's stunning harmonies that make Saratoga an utterly delightful listen. Their honeyed voices contain just enough of the whiskey and heartache that makes great country music."
- Westword
" [The Hollyfelds] have made a name for themselves. . . via hotly written alt-country tunes [and] masterful harmonizing, [Saratoga is] poetic."
- The Denver Post
"The Hollyfelds have made one of the finest alt-country albums of the past 10 years. . . Saratoga is a musician's dream. Start with the dueling vocals of Eryn Hoerig and Kate Grigsby. Their vocals wrap around one another in harmonies so tight they'll make you want to cry, laugh out loud and jump for joy. . . [The Hollyfelds] are writing the next generation of country standards (or what should be, in a perfect world). Buy It Now!"
- Wildy's World Blog
"[Saratoga is] A fine set of ragged-edged, buoyant DIY-billy, with a bouncy rock backbeat behind a mostly-acoustic band and twin gal-harmony vocals. . . Fans of Freakwater and Lone Justice will recognize kindred spirits. . . [Saratoga is] full of plenty of pleasant surprises. . . The Hollyfelds sing and play with a conviction and sincerity that's refreshing to hear."
- Slipcue.com
"The Hollyfelds' boisterous set at the Meadowlark on Saturday satisfied completely. . . mining a vein of traditional country-folk that invigorated the crowd. . .led by silk-voiced singers Eryn Hoerig and Kate Grigsby, [The Hollyfelds] ran through a set of originals and covers that helped the subterranean Meadowlark feel like a summery back porch."
- The Denver Post
"Talk about sweet - take one listen to the harmonizing vocals of Eryn Hoerig and Katie Grigsby, and you will fall in love with this band."
- The Vail Daily
"I really like the harmony. . .That was phenomenal. . .I really like the song [Empress of Wyoming]."
- Hyper Nonsense no.26
". . . all-out country music . . .with. . .two stunning front women and [a] solid, swaying rhythm section. . .charming. . .Their lazy country pace and swelling two-part harmonies made crying in your beer the most natural thing to do."
- Japan Implosion no.7
"I was laying down listening to this. . . and suddenly it occurred to me 'Oh man, this is not the band I'm going to see tonight! They are halfway across the country!' and I was totally disappointed."
- Hardcore-troubadours.com

Quantum of Solace (2008)
James Bond: They say you're judged by the strength of your enemies.
Mr. White: The first thing you should know about us is... we have people everywhere.
James Bond: [Interrupting the opera house conversation] Can I offer an opinion? I really think you people should find a better place to meet.
James Bond: [Bond is holding Yusef and Corinne at gunpoint] Sit down!
[they both sit]
James Bond: [looking at Corinne] You're Canadian...? You work in Canadian intelligence?
[Corinne doesn't answer]
James Bond: That's all right... I know you do. And knowing this man, you likely have access to some very sensitive material that you're going to be forced to give up. His life will be threatened... and because you love him, you won't hesitate.
[pause; Bond looks at Corinne's necklace]
James Bond: That's a beautiful necklace. Did he give it to you?
[Corinne still doesn't answer]
James Bond: [showing her Vesper's necklace] I have one just like it. He gave it to a friend of mine... someone very close to me. Your name is...?
Corinne: Corinne.
James Bond: Corinne... Corinne, I suggest you leave now. You contact your people, and you tell them to check their seals. They have a leak. Do it now, please. This man and I have some unfinished business.
Corinne: [softly, as she leaves] Thank you.
[Bond turns back to Yusef]
Yusef: Please. Make it quick.
James Bond: [at a dirty, small motel] What are we doing?
Strawberry Fields: We're teachers on sabbatical. This fits our cover.
James Bond: No it doesn't. I'd rather stay at a morgue. Come on.
[they go to a nicer hotel]
James Bond: [to the hotel receptionist] Hello. We're teachers on sabbatical and we've just won the lottery.
M: Ask him about Slate.
Tanner: She wants to know about Slate.
James Bond: Slate was a dead end.
Tanner: He says it was a dead end.
M: Damn it! He killed him.
M: If you could avoid killing every possible lead, it would be deeply appreciated.
James Bond: I'll do my best.
M: I've heard that before.
M: When someone says "We've got people everywhere", you expect it to be hyperbole! Lots of people say that. Florists use that expression. It doesn't mean that they've got somebody working for them inside the bloody room!
M: You killed a man in Bregenz.
James Bond: I did my best not to.
M: You shot him at point blank and threw him off a roof. I would hardly call that showing restraint!
M: The Americans are gonna be none too pleased.
James Bond: I promised them Le Chiffre and they got him.
M: They got his body.
James Bond: Well, if they wanted his soul, they should have made a deal with a priest.
Mr. White: [after his associates have fled the opera house] I guess Tosca isn't for everyone.
Camille: [notices they are being followed] Friend of yours?
James Bond: I have no friends.
M: Who the hell is this organisation Bond? How can they be everywhere and we know nothing about them!
Camille: [Regarding Bond] There is something horribly efficient about you.
Strawberry Fields: Mr. Bond, my name is Fields. I'm from the consulate.
James Bond: Of course you are. And what do you do at the consulate Fields?
Strawberry Fields: That's not important. My orders are to turn you around and put you on the first plane to London.
James Bond: [Walking past her] Do those orders include my friend Mathis?
Strawberry Fields: [to Mathis] I'm sorry, I don't know who you are.
James Bond: [to Mathis] You see? You've been gone for such a short time and you're already forgotten.
Mathis: You're just saying that to hurt me.
Strawberry Fields: [Following Bond out] Mr. Bond, these orders come from the highest possible authority.
James Bond: Taxi! Fields, when is the next flight to London?
Strawberry Fields: Tomorrow morning.
James Bond: Well then, we have all night.
Strawberry Fields: If you attempt to flee I will arrest you, drop you off at the jail and take you to the plane in chains, understand?
James Bond: [Opening the taxi door] Perfectly. After you.
Mathis: I think she has handcuffs.
James Bond: I hope so.
Camille: So, what's your interest in Greene?
James Bond: Among other things, he tried to kill a friend of mine.
Camille: A woman?
James Bond: Yes. But it's not what you think.
Camille: Your mother?
James Bond: She likes to think so.
James Bond: You know I was just wondering what South America would look like if nobody gave a damn about coke or communism. It always impressed me the way you boys would carve this place up.
Felix Leiter: I'll take that as a compliment coming from a Brit.
[Bond shows up for his rendezvous with Camille having just survived a knife-fight]
Camille: You're late!
James Bond: Got pulled into a meeting.
Dominic Greene: you should know something about me and the people i work with. We deal with the left and the right, dictators or liberators. If the current president had been more agreeable, I wouldn't be talking to you. So if you decide not to sign, you'll wake up with your balls in your mouth and your willing replacement standing over you... if you doubt that, then shoot me, take that money and have a good night's sleep.
James Bond: [chucks a can of motor oil at Greene's feet] I bet you make it 20 miles before you consider drinking that.
[Bond gets in the car and drives away, leaving Greene stranded in the middle of the desert]
James Bond: Goodbye, Mr. Greene.
Camille: How much did he want?
James Bond: He wanted you but I left the car as collateral. He'll get much more when he sells us out.
M: This is about trust. You said you weren't motivated by revenge.
James Bond: I am motivated by my duty.
M: No... I think you're so blinded by inconsolable rage that you don't care who you hurt. When you can't tell your friends from your enemies, it's time to go.
Mathis: You can't sleep?
Bartender on Virgin Flight: May I fix you a drink, Sir?
Mathis: What are you drinking?
James Bond: I don't know. What am I drinking?
Bartender on Virgin Flight: Three measures of Gordon's Gin, One of Vodka, Half a measure of Kina...
Mathis: Kina Lillet.
Bartender on Virgin Flight: Kina Lillet, which is not Vermouth. Shaken well until it is ice cold. and served with a large, thin slice of lemon peel. Six of them.
Mathis: That's impressive.
James Bond: They're good. You should have one.
James Bond: How long have I got?
Felix Leiter: Thirty seconds.
James Bond: That doesn't give us a lot of time...
M: It'd be a pretty cold bastard who didn't want revenge for the death of someone he loved.
Felix Leiter: You know who Greene is and you want to put us in bed with him.
Gregg Beam: Yeah, you're right. We should just deal with nice people.
Dominic Greene: My friends call me Dominic.
James Bond: I'm sure they do.
Dominic Greene: [regarding James Bond] Everything he touches withers and dies.
Camille: You lost somebody?
James Bond: I did.
Camille: You catch who ever did it?
James Bond: No, not yet.
Camille: Tell me when you do, I'd like to know how it feels...
Mathis: [speaks to Bond regarding Vesper] She would have done anything for you... forgive her, forgive yourself.
Dominic Greene: [Speaks into the earpiece] This is the world's most precious resource, we need to control as much of it as we can.
Camille: You sent someone to kill me?
Dominic Greene: Please don't talk to me like I'm stupid... It's unattractive.
James Bond: Are you going to tell us who you work for?
Mr. White: I was always very interested to meet you. I heard so much about you from Vesper. The real shame is, if she hadn't killed herself we would've had you too.
James Bond: [to Camille] Take a deep breath, you only got one shot, make it count.
James Bond: I don't think the dead care about vengeance.
Felix Leiter: James, move your ass!
Dominic Greene: There is nothing that makes me more uncomfortable than friends talking behind my back. Feels like... ants under my skin.
[drags Mr. White onto an interrogation chair]
James Bond: Don't bleed to death.
Mathis: I have pills for everything. Some make you taller... some make you forget.
Dominic Greene: How much do you know about Bond, Camille? Because he's rather a tragic case. As MI6 says, he's difficult to control. Nice way of saying that everything he touches seems to wither and die.
Mathis: [to Bond] What do you want? Have you come to apologise?
Mathis: [to James Bond] I was sorry to hear about Vesper. I think she loved you.
M: Find Bond!

"Continuing her winning strategy of combining history with fashion, Turetsky this time takes her 12-year old heroine to Cleopatra's palace in ancient Egypt. The author delivers another suspenseful and exciting plot that serves as an immersive history lesson for her young audience." (Kirkus Reviews).
"Turetsky delivers her enjoyable history lesson through the eyes of a girl who knows every major and minor fashion designer, a character sure to appeal to her target audience, as will the time-traveling theme. Appealing illustrations aid readers' imaginations... Good fun."( Kirkus Reviews on The Time-Traveling Fashionista at the Palace of Marie Antoinette).
"Turetsky's debut breezily incorporates past and current pop culture references; with a spunky main character and breathless descriptions of glamorous clothing, it's entertaining wish fulfillment for those as fashion-focused as Louise." (PW on The Time-Traveling Fashionista On Board the Titanic).
"Using vintage fashion as the trigger, with descriptions of clothing prettied up by Suy's full-color illustrations of elegant gowns.... the promise of more books to come in a series will please fans." (Booklist).
"Debut author Turetsky portrays Louise as a girl caught between childhood fantasies-Louise's closet is 'the only place left where she still felt the nervous anticipation that extraordinary and magical things could happen'-and the reality of growing up.... the novel's message of living life in the moment and accepting oneself provides some counterweight to the detailed fashion montage-presented throughout the book in delicate, color illustrations. Clothes, boys and adventure make for a quick series opener." (Kirkus).
"[T]his series opener will no doubt have its fans, and aspiring fashionistas will find themselves fascinated by the forerunners of the catwalk." (BCCB).
"...The story begins when Louise, a stylish seventh-grader from Connecticut, tries on a dress at a vintage sale that used to belong to a film star. Then suddenly, she's transported, and becomes a passenger on [a] massively luxurious cruise ship in a sea of glamorous people with gorgeous clothes. The story takes tons of twists and turns as Louise figures out whether her alter-ego can change history and stop the ship from sinking. So, bottom line: totally recommend! Plus, the pencil sketches of gowns throughout the book give it a very reading-your-awesome-best-friend's-diary feel." (Seventeen.com).
"The Time Traveling Fashionista had me under its spell from the first page." (Joanna Philbin, author of the Daughters series on The Time-Traveling Fashionista On Board the Titanic).

This good looking A- list R&B singer with a very cool style is probably going to jail
. He will also probably take down about four or five other names in the industry because of the ponzi type scheme he was running with them. An arrest is imminent.
What kind of Ponzi scheme thoughReplyCancel
Ummm I don't know why but he came to mind. Admittedly this is not my genre of music.
I really want this to be Pharell. It's the only time I might willingly turn on Happy and not want to gouge out my ear drumsReplyCancel
@auntliddy kanye and jay z are in no way r&bReplyCancel
I wish it was Pharrell as well. The way this dude has slowly changed over the past decade would lead me to believe he would be capable of something like this. He is practically willing to do anything for cash nowadays and hawks and hustles whatever brand that pays him enough – talks a lot about social responsibility and takes a lot of progressive stances but I feel its mostly just a front, guy couldnt care less.ReplyCancel
Neyo – caught in a multi-million dollar loan scheme by citibankReplyCancel
Ne-Yo is being investigated for defrauding ciyibankReplyCancel
not Usher -he's a savvy businessman-wouldn't fall for this.
R. KELLY (or,,,i think Maxwell he may not be A- but he IS Handsome! 🙂
Agree this is juicy.
Grabbing a good seat and some popcorn for this one.
I wished it were William of The Affectation but its R&B….
Neo and Usher don't strike me as very bright about anything. I like R Kelly, the gift that keeps on giving.ReplyCancel
Yeah, I assumed it was/is Ne-Yo- good riddanceReplyCancel
John LegendReplyCancel
Nope , nor are they good looking with a cool vibe.ReplyCancel
Didn't Jay – Z 'discover' Neyo? The list of suspects will include every rapper who guest ed in a Neyo track, or every one that used a Neyo hook.ReplyCancel
Let's see, good looking…we have LL, Luda (admittedly both more rap/actor); some may consider 50 good looking; Usher, John Legend (whom I love), Pharell (eww), and NeYo, just off the top of my head.
I'm not guessing, but I am getting the supplies for this reveal. And it'd better include the other 4 or 5!ReplyCancel
I would hate it if it's Bruno. My kid adores him, and he's so talented.ReplyCancel
@Bellaluna, LL would have been referred to as a singer/actor, since he's been for some time on NCIS:LA.
Now this is the juiciest blind I've read in quite some time.ReplyCancel
Usher really is a smart guy, though he picked one awful mom for his sons. He's also a very nice person.
R. Kelly couldn't run a Ponzi scheme. He just doesn't have the capacity or charisma.
Bruno Mars and Pharell are working their asses off. No time to entice investors in some scheme.
Ne-Yo fits. He would gain credibility by dropping all kinds of names. He is currently suing his manager, which might be a preemptive move.ReplyCancel
Which part of the Milky Way galaxy considers Ne-Yo goodlookingReplyCancel
Usher seems smart. For instance, he distanced himself from Bieber as Bieber morphed into a totally spoiled punk.ReplyCancel
"Very cool style" made me think of LL Cool J…but he also acts.ReplyCancel
You people are cracking me up today!
Jay Z good looking?
Easy Breezy Chrissy Girl is capable of running a Ponzi scheme?
Kanye has a cool style?
Totally think it's Ne-yo. He went from always being around to never being around! Every awards show, red carpet, popping up in magazines, different stories to absolutely nothing. Usher is still letting folks see his face. Ne-yo is MIA.ReplyCancel
Just read the Media Take Out story on Ne-Yo.
Ne-Yo with his signature hat on is interesting looking but it's a stretch to call him good looking.
Good looking is Maxwell. Actually he's fine but, uh, where was I? Oh yeah. Ponzi Scheme.
Not sure who this would be though. Where's the popcorn?ReplyCancel
Um. Certainly wouldn't fit his style which is hideous. Also makes lots of money as producerReplyCancel

As far as I know, as that is not a term I'm familiar with, I vote for it being Cuban or sumpin'. Of course even artists, musicians, and college students draw the line at talking about that subject in mixed company, so [shrugging, clicks on next thread].

In Italian (as other Latin language cultures), there are many paired names, where the ending indicates the gender: Maria/Mario Francesca/Francesco Jacinta/Jacinto Fabrizia/Fabrizio Sandra/Sandro Paula/Paulo etc etc.
Then there are some that are disctinctly masculine or feminine, but don't have a corresponding pair: Marco, Fiorella, Laura, Sara. etc , but these still follow the a-for-feminine and o-for masculine rules.
The names I find particularly confusing are the masculine names that end in 'a' : eg Luca, Andrea and Nicola
Some-one told me that they are different because they come from Greek roots. Can anyone verify this?

In reply to:
An example of confused gender is the Italian word mano = hand. It is declined as if masculine (singular mano, plural mani), but it is actually feminine gender
Many of the Italian words for parts of the body are irregular, in their plural forms and/or gender. A fact I as pleased to be able to point out to my English students in Italy when they complained about the irregular spelling and/or plurals of so many of the English words in the same lexical set!
Some examples:
Italian for lip: labbro (sing, masc); while lips: labbra (plur, fem)
Italian for foot: piede (sing,fem); feet: peidi (plu, fem)
While in English we have irregular plurals and some of the most irrational spellings:
tooth teeth
foot feet
eye (spelling!)
tongue (spelling!)

One example from French.
La vase (femenine)= mud
Le vase (masculine) = vase
Earlier, much earlier, a post mentioned the troubles that anglos have learning French because of the gender issue. To highlight the fact that English is not the only language that makes no sense at times, I cite the following two examples:
Le féminisme (masculine) and la masculinité (feminine).
On a slightly off-topic note: One thing that annoys me is how perfectly good words with inherent gender are being dropped from common usage. I keep hearing various women being refered to as actors yet they strive to win the academy award for best actress.

It's not only actresses who have been demanding the right to have their profession called by the same word used by males, and receiving same from media who are less concerned about the language than about sucking up to the people who help them sell their papers, commercials, etc. These females, who would seem to trying to get people to ignore the fact that they are female, claim that it's demeaning to them to have a different word, or a different form of a word, applied to one sex/gender. This is not a linguistic issue, it's a matter of PC (political correctness), which is at the root of many horrible linguistic practices.

I don't think the Greek origin of words such as Andrea is the issue. There are Italian nouns ending in 'a', such as poeta = poet, which are masculine. I think it more likely that such words, especially when they denote a profession, are remnants of the Latin First Conjugation, where nouns of any gender end in 'a' in the masc. sing. nominative. One of the first sentences learned in Latin I is Marcus est agricola = Marcus is a farmer.

Vt. joins same-sex marriage appealOctober 26,2013Vt. joins same-sex
marriage appeal
MONTPELIER The state of Vermont is joining Massachusetts and a number of other states and the District of Columbia in urging a federal appeals court to strike down bans on same-sex marriage in Nevada and Hawaii.
The Vermont attorney generals office says that state laws in Hawaii and Nevada provide many rights and protections for same-sex couples, but deny same-sex couples the status of marriage. The brief argues the result is that same-sex couples and their families are given second-class status and unfairly denied the social benefits and cultural significance associated with marriage.
The brief was filed in connection with two related cases challenging the Nevada and Hawaii laws. It is being considered by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Chase

If you have stage III or stage IV colorectal cancer, it is very likely you will need some form of chemotherapy during the course of treatment. Chemotherapy may be used alone, or in combination with other targeted therapies.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to stop or limit the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells.
Chemotherapy can be taken:
- by mouth (oral chemotherapy)
- injected into a vein (intravenous chemotherapy) to reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemically)
- placed directly into the abdomen where the drugs mostly affect cancer cells in that area (regional chemotherapy)
Common Chemotherapy & Targeted Therapies
Side Effects of Chemotherapy
Your side effects will depend on how your chemotherapy is given and the type of drug you receive. Since chemotherapy attacks all rapidly dividing cells, healthy cells from all over the body may be impacted, too.
It's common to feel side effects in your mouth, hair and stomach, for example.
See more information on Dealing with Side Effects.
Oral Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy the stomach absorbs is offered orally, as a tablet or capsule, and can be swallowed at home. It is equally as strong as other forms of chemotherapy and works just as well, as long as it's taken on schedule (daily, weekly, monthly or otherwise scheduled by your doctor.) Oral chemotherapy, such as capecitabine (Xeloda®) or oral targeted therapy, such as Stivarga®, can cause the same side effects as other forms of chemotherapy.
Your doctor will want to know about any problems you have when taking oral medications. Taking your pills exactly as prescribed (treatment adherence) is very important.
Talk with your doctor or nurse about the importance of taking your medication on time and as directed. If you are prescribed an oral chemotherapy or an oral targeted therapy, you will work with a specialty pharmacist to fulfill your prescription. When taking an oral chemotherapy, your specialty pharmacist should be considered part of your healthcare team.
Tips on working with your specialty pharmacy
- Many times specialty pharmacies deliver your medication to you through the mail, so be sure to ask your healthcare team the name of the specialty pharmacy you should be expecting to hear from.
- They can assist you with:
- making sure you understand how to take your medication
- providing financial assistance in paying for your medication
- managing treatment side effects
More: Read patient blogs and get expert info about oral chemotherapy

Syria closed universities and suspended classes for college students across the country today as anti-regime activists reported the death toll from two massive blasts that ravaged a campus in Aleppo reached 87. The opposition and the government have blamed each other for the explosions, which marked a major escalation in the struggle for control of Aleppo -- Syria's largest city and once the country's main commercial hub. NBC's Bill Neely reports.
The day after a deadly attack on a Syrian university, the State Department issued a statement saying it was appalled – and blamed the attack on President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The State Department statement relays information from eyewitnesses at the scene, who said the regime "launched aerial strikes in the vicinity of university facilities."
The United Nations said that if the attack -- which reportedly killed 80 people, most of them students taking exams, was launched by the government -- Assad's government would be guilty of war crimes against civilians.
Assad's government denies the attack, Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zouabi told NBC's Bill Neely. He said al-Qaida is connected with the explosions.
"It's their trademark," al-Zouabi said. He said the massacre was intended to lay blame on the government, portraying it as unable to protect its students. He said the government had "absolutely nothing" to do with the bombing.
The State Department statement further condemned Assad's government: "Our sympathies and condolences go out to all those devastated by this senseless tragedy, which is only the latest in a long stream of losses inflicted by the Assad regime on its own people."
The university, located in Damascas, had been abandoned for many months, Guardian reporter Martin Chulov told NPR's All Things Considered. A relative normalcy had returned to the city, as had a fresh infusion of food. The bombing changed that.

The American pilot whose F-16 crashed in Iraq earlier this week has close ties to Clovis. Major Troy L. Gilbert, 34, identified by the Air Force on Wednesday, is the son-in-law of Clovis residents Jay and Judi Gurley, according to longtime family friend Martha Hardwick.
Jay Gurley is a former Clovis Community College president. Hardwick said the Gurleys' daughter, Ginger, met Gilbert while both were attending Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas. They were married at Cannon Air Force Base, Hardwick said, and have five children.
At the time of Monday's crash, Gilbert was supporting troops fighting in Anbar province, the area of Iraq where many of the country's Sunni-Arab insurgent groups operate.
Insurgents reached Gilbert before the U.S. military did. Videotape pictures obtained by Associated Press Television News appear to show the wreckage of the F-16CG jet from Cannon Air Force Base in the field where it crashed and the nearby remains of a U.S. serviceman with a tangled parachute.
The Air Combat Command said in a statement that Gilbert was not found at the crash site. Air Force officials said in a news conference Wednesday that there were "human remains retrieved from the crash site." They would not elaborate, but said figuring out whether Gilbert is dead depended largely on those remains, which were undergoing DNA identification.
The cause of the crash is under investigation. Officials don't believe it was shot down.
Officials waffled between referring to Gilbert in the present and past tense during a Wednesday news conference at Luke Air Force Base in the western Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Ariz., where Gilbert has been stationed since 2003.
"Everybody liked him … such a hard worker. Everyone here will tell you that. He did what it took to get the mission done," said Lt. Col. John Paradis, an Air Force spokesman. "He's someone that we remember very fondly."
Paradis explained his and another official's careful wording when referring to Gilbert's status.
"In situations like this, the Air Force and the Department of Defense want to be extremely careful about drawing any conclusions until we can look at all the facts that we have and everything available to us to make sure the family can have some closure, regardless of what that might be," Paradis said.
Arizona officials have asked members of the media to not attempt to contact the family for privacy reasons.
The family issued a statement through the military. It read:
"Troy was first and foremost a wonderful husband and father. His Christian faith, personal values, and work ethic guided his personal life and his career as a military officer.
"He was highly respected by and deeply loved by so many. At the time of the tragedy during combat operations, he was unselfishly protecting the lives of other American military members. We, his family, cherish the worldwide prayers and support during this extremely difficult time."
Gilbert was deployed to the 332nd Expeditionary Wing at Balad Air Force Base in Iraq in September and logged more than 130 combat hours, the Air Force said in a news release.
The release said Gilbert graduated with an economics degree from Texas Tech University in 1993 and graduated from officer training school in August 1994. His first assignment was at Lakenheath Air Base in England.
In January 2001, Gilbert finished undergraduate pilot training at Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas.
During his time at Luke Air Force Base, Gilbert was assistant director of operations, executive officer of wing flying, a flight commander and chief of training.
"Major Gilbert is well-known here at Luke Air Force Base," Brig. Gen. Tom Jones said. "He is an outstanding officer, an outstanding pilot, and an outstanding friend to many people here at Luke."

ewein, this is a yart..and not just any yart, a yart of one of your own posts.
when you posted a few weeks ago, about father in law (recently ill), even though, somewhere else, Keiva said his father was dead. you spoke about dyspnea-- in this thread
For all you medical people out there--is there an actual difference between shortness of breath, breathlessness, and dyspnea? The question came up in my family when my father-in-law was recently hospitalized.
but in a PM, you implied , but did not directly state you were a nurse-- wouldn't a nurse know about dysnpea?
Note URL removed
so are you nancy spector? If so, don't you already know about dysnpea? and other breathing problems? and isn't your post a little desprerate effort to just post something...
Oops! Maybe Nancy Spector exists, and maybe she is ewein, or maybe ewein is nancy is keiva is ken is a patient in a hospital with computer access.. who met a nurse._________________________

We are taught that Pickwickian Syndrome is another term for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. However, while OSA is more common in obese people, there are other pathologies, and hence the Pickwickian term is rarely used except as a note of historical interest.

Oh, Kenny boy. And what do you call those 10 desperate efforts at attention seeking which you posted in Q&A? Are they there to stimulate discussion too? Or are they just a childish attempt to garner friendship? Are you lonely Kenny? Sad and lonely? Have you no friends but those you fabricate? I'll be your friend Kenny. Really, I will. You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Are you frustrated by something Kenny boy? I feel frustration eminating from your posts. What could be the source of that frustration I wonder?

Dear ewein: Ondine's curse was new to me, but I found a URL to it, thanks:
Incidentally, the rapid respirations following apnea, I think should be called hyperpnea. Dspnea seems to me to best fit difficult respiration due to airway obstruction.

That interesting name made me curious to know its derivation. from dr. bill's url:
Ondine (Undine) was a female water sprite who loved a knight but was condemned to stay awake in order to breathe.
The plot of the play Ondine by Jean Giraudoux (1882-1944)reminds one a bit of The Little Mermaid:
http://www.samshammas.com/ondine.htm: Ondine is a water-sprite, ostensibly fifteen-years old, and attracted to the world of mortal man
http://www.stereophile.com/showarchives.cgi?527:5 lists earlier artistic references to Ondine.

Hey Kenny babes! What's this? Are you starting to behave yourself now? Where're all of your smart-assed comments which I love so much? Aren't you going to be your nasty self anymore and let me play with you? Or are you going to be the nice Joe citizen you'd like everyone to believe you are but which we all know you're not?
I don't think you'll be able to maintain this facade for long, you know. What does everyone else think? Shall we give kenny a chance to redeem himself by putting on his little show of restraint?

SPRINGFIELD — Threats against the family of convicted sex offender Timothy Szad have made relatives change their minds and they will no longer allow him to move into their Springfield home next week, Corrections Commissioner Andrew Pallito said Thursday.
Pallito said Szad's relative — who had originally agreed to take in Szad next Friday, July 26, when Szad is due to be released — had received death threats, although Pallito later said it was threats against his residence.
Pallito, who declined to identify Szad's relative, said some of the threats had come in from outside the country and had unnerved Szad's relatives.
Szad had been evaluated by the Department of Corrections, which warned Springfield residents Monday that he was at high risk to reoffend. His likely victim, the department said, would be a 12- to 13-year-old boy with blue eyes and blond hair.
The news set off a virtual firestorm on local blogs and the Springfield Police Department's popular Facebook page. His release went viral, Pallito said, resulting in the threats from outside Vermont and the United States.
Pallito said he didn't know the extent of information that Szad's relatives turned over to the Springfield Police about the threats they did receive, and Springfield Police Chief Douglas Johnston couldn't be reached for comment Thursday evening.
Springfield police and corrections officials were due to go door-to-door Thursday in the neighborhood where Szad was being released.
The Department of Corrections had announced Monday that Szad, who was convicted in 2001 of the 2000 sexual assault of a 13-year-old Rockingham boy in Rockingham, had served his sentence and was going to be released to live in Springfield, where he had lived at the time of that attack. The boy suffered from a form of autism, police said, making communication with police initially difficult.
Windham County prosecutors entered into a plea agreement with Szad to spare the victim the trauma of a trial, with the support of his parents.
Pallito said that regardless of the change in where Szad will be released, "he has to walk out of prison next Friday. We've got eight days to figure out where he's going to go. This is a worst-case scenario."
Pallito said that any transitional housing for former inmates in the Springfield area will not take sex offenders like Szad.
He said Szad had been counting on living with his relative in Springfield for the past six months, and as a result there was no active alternative.
"He has to walk out next Friday," he said. "He has nowhere to go."
Szad is being held at the state prison in Springfield.
Szad must register as a sex offender within 24 hours of wherever he settles, Pallito said, and must register again every time he moves. He said the Department of Corrections was trying to find him someplace to live, because Szad had "maxed out" his sentence and would not be under any direct supervision.
"We want to keep him from reoffending and keep him safe," the corrections chief said.
Szad, who worked at a Chester business and lived on Union Street in Springfield in 2000, had kidnapped the boy while he was fishing in the Williams River on Parker Hill Road, handcuffed him and repeatedly sexually assaulted him. The kidnapping charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement.
Szad fled to Idaho once he knew Vermont State Police were looking for him, and he was brought back in late 2000 and arraigned. He was sentenced to seven to 20 years in January 2001 but, when given credit under 2001 rules for good behavior, is slated to be released after serving 12½ years.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.
