COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA Appelleev.PAUL S. KRUEGER Appellant COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA Appelleev.PAUL S. KRUEGER Appellant
Appeal from the Order Entered March 7, 2012 In the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County Criminal Division at No.: CP-46-CR-0004515-2008
BEFORE: STEVENS, P.J., [*] WECHT, J., and COLVILLE, J.[**]
Paul Krueger ("Appellant") appeals from two separate orders entered on March 7, 2012. One order denied Appellant's petition for return of property. The other denied Appellant's post-conviction petition for habeas corpus.[1] We affirm.
On May 20, 2008, Appellant was arrested in Atlantic City, New Jersey. After being extradited to Pennsylvania, Appellant was charged with thirteen counts of theft by unlawful taking, thirteen counts of theft by deception, thirteen counts of deceptive or fraudulent business practices, and thirteen counts of theft by failure to make required disposition of funds received.[2] The charges arose from Appellant's deceptive behavior on the Internet website www.millionairematch.com. The trial court summarized Appellant's basic scheme as follows:
[B]etween October 2007 and April 2008, [Appellant] engaged in conduct with various individuals over the Internet, through millionairematch.com and those individuals, in some cases, referenced [Appellant] to other individuals, who forwarded money to [Appellant] to be used for investment purposes, which [Appellant] kept for his own personal benefit. Trial Court Opinion ("T.C.O."), 6/1/2012, at 1 (some grammatical modifications made for clarity). The amount of money that Appellant obtained through this scheme exceeded $100, 000. Id.
On October 24, 2008, Appellant pleaded guilty to one count of theft by failure to make required disposition of funds received. As per a plea agreement with the Commonwealth, Appellant was sentenced to three to seven years' imprisonment, and ordered to pay restitution to the thirteen individuals known to have sent money to Appellant as a result of his fraudulent scheme.[3] Appellant did not file a direct appeal.
On December 14, 2011, Appellant filed a pro se petition for return of property. Therein, Appellant sought return of the computer that was seized from him, which the Commonwealth had alleged was used to aid in perpetrating Appellant's scheme. In a subsequent amendment, Appellant requested that the software and music files that were stored on the computer be returned to him as well. On January 11, 2012, while the petition for return of property was pending, Appellant filed a pro se petition for habeas corpus, in which Appellant raised multiple claims related to the validity of his guilty plea and sentence.
On March 7, 2012, the trial court held a hearing on the petitions. The trial court notified Appellant that the claims raised within the petition for habeas corpus were not cognizable at that time either because they were subject to the time limit set forth in the Post-Conviction Relief Act ("PCRA"), 42 Pa.C.S. § 9545(b), or because the court lacked jurisdiction to grant the requested relief. The trial court then proceeded with the hearing on the petition for return of property. On that date, the trial court issued two orders denying Appellant's petitions.
On April 3, 2012, Appellant filed two separate notices of appeal from the March 7, 2012 orders. The trial court did not direct Appellant to file a concise statement of errors complained of on appeal pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b). Nonetheless, on June 1, 2012, the trial court issued a memorandum opinion.
In his brief, Appellant raises the following issues for our review:
1. Was the arrest of the Appellant in the State of New Jersey by Pennsylvania police officers unlawful?
A. Did the Pennsylvania police officers have jurisdiction to make an arrest in the state of New Jersey without any involvement by New Jersey law enforcement whatsoever?
2. Did Pennsylvania have any contact with the criminal charges against the Appellant and thus did Pennsylvania have jurisdiction to hear the criminal charges against the Appellant?
3. Was the Appellant the focus of a warrantless arrest?
4. Was the Appellant's counsel ineffective?
A. Did Appellant's counsel fail to recognize the jurisdiction[al] issues?
B. Did the Appellant's counsel give proper advice regarding Preliminary Hearing/Prima Facie case?
C. Did the Appellant's counsel give wrong advice regarding potential sentence if Appellant didn't take [the] plea?
D. Did the Appellant's counsel fail to move for change of venue on Pre-Trial publicity?
5. Were there errors by the Trial Court in the Appellant's criminal case?
A. Did the Court fail to appoint counsel when Appellant requested it at the time of arrest?
B. Did the Court fail to appoint counsel for Appellant's Extradition Hearing?
C. Did the Court fail to recognize jurisdictional issue?
6. Were there errors by the Court for the Appellant's Habeas corpus and Return of Property hearings?
A. Did the Court fail to appoint counsel even though requested (both hearings)?
B. Did the Court fail to hold full hearing for Habeas corpus?
C. Did the Court fail to reinstate the Appellant's PCRA rights when the judge said PCRA was proper forum?
D.Did the Court fail to recognize that Appellant had to file Habeas corpus because he was time barred for PCRA?
E. Did the Court fail to hold a full hearing to hear the jurisdictional issues?
F. Did the Court fail to grant Habeas corpus relief?
G. Did the Court fail to grant Return of Property even though NO Forfeiture Petition filed?
H. Did the Court fail to make Commonwealth present said property at time of hearing to demonstrate its case that property was a derivative of the crimes involved?
Brief for Appellant at 3.
We first must determine which, if any, of Appellant's issues are cognizable in this appeal. Upon close inspection, we conclude, as did the trial court, that many of Appellant's issues are time-barred by the PCRA. "We have repeatedly held that the PCRA provides the sole means for obtaining collateral review and that any petition filed after the judgment of sentence becomes final will be treated as a PCRA petition." Commonwealth v. Kubis, 808 A.2d 196, 199 (Pa.Super. 2002); see Commonwealth v. Johnson, 803 A.2d 1291, 1293 (Pa.Super. 2002); 42 Pa.C.S. § 9542. Issues that are cognizable under the PCRA must be raised in a timely PCRA petition, and cannot be raised in a habeas corpus petition. "Phrased differently, a defendant cannot escape the PCRA time-bar by titling his petition or motion as a writ of habeas corpus." Commonwealth v. Taylor, 65 A.3d 462, 466 (Pa.Super. 2013). Unless the PCRA cannot provide for a potential remedy, the PCRA statute subsumes the writ of habeas corpus. Commonwealth v. Fahy, 737 A.2d 214, 223-24 (Pa. 1999). Thus, "the question then becomes whether petitioner had an available remedy under the PCRA." Commonwealth v. Lusch, 759 A.2d 6, 8 (Pa.Super. 2000).
The claims for which the PCRA will provide a remedy are set forth in 42 Pa.C.S. § 9543(a)(2). To be entitled to relief, a petitioner must plead and prove by a preponderance of the evidence that his conviction or sentence was the result of one of the following:
(i) A violation of the Constitution of this Commonwealth or the Constitution or laws of the United States which, in the circumstances of the particular case, so undermined the truth-determining process that no reliable adjudication of guilt or innocence could have taken place.
(ii) Ineffective assistance of counsel which, in the circumstances of the particular case, so undermined the truth-determining process that no reliable adjudication of guilt or innocence could have taken place.
(iii) A plea of guilty unlawfully induced where the circumstances make it likely that the inducement caused the petitioner to plead guilty and the petitioner is innocent.
(iv) The improper obstruction by government officials of the petitioner's right of appeal where a meritorious appealable issue existed and was properly preserved in the trial court.
(v) Deleted.
(vi) The unavailability at the time of trial of exculpatory evidence that has subsequently become available and would have changed the outcome of the trial if it had been introduced.
(vii) The imposition of a sentence greater than the lawful maximum.
(viii) A proceeding in a tribunal without jurisdiction.
42 Pa.C.S. § 9543(a)(2).
Appellant's first four issues, including the sub-issues, plainly are cognizable under the PCRA. These include Appellant's challenges to the jurisdiction and constitutionality of Appellant's arrest, to the jurisdiction of the sentencing court, and regarding the effectiveness of trial counsel. See
42 Pa.C.S. §§ 9543(a)(2)(i), (ii), (viii). Accordingly, those issues must be considered PCRA issues, which are subject to the PCRA's strict time limits.
It is well-established that the PCRA time limits are jurisdictional, and are meant to be both mandatory and applied strictly by the courts to all PCRA petitions, regardless of the potential merit of the claims asserted. Commonwealth v. Leggett, 16 A.3d 1144, 1145 (Pa.Super. 2011); Commonwealth v. Murray, 753 A.2d 201, 202-03 (Pa. 2000). "[N]o court may properly disregard or alter [these filing requirements] in order to reach the merits of the claims raised in a PCRA petition that is filed in an untimely manner." Murray, 753 A.2d at 203; see also Commonwealth v. Gamboa-Taylor, 753 A.2d 780, 783 (Pa. 2000).
Section 9545(b) sets forth the time limitations for filing of a PCRA petition as follows:
(b) Time for filing petition.—
(1) Any petition under this subchapter, including a second or subsequent petition, shall be filed within one year of the date the judgment becomes final, unless the petition alleges and the petitioner proves that:
(i) the failure to raise the claim previously was the result of interference by government officials with the presentation of the claim in violation of the Constitution or laws of this Commonwealth or the Constitution or laws of the United States;
(ii) the facts upon which the claim is predicated were unknown to the petitioner and could not have been ascertained by the exercise of due diligence; or
(iii) the right asserted is a constitutional right that was recognized by the Supreme Court of the United States or the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania after the time period provided in this section and has been held by that court to apply retroactively.
(2) Any petition invoking an exception provided in paragraph
(1) shall be filed within 60 days of the date the claim could have been presented.
42 Pa.C.S. § 9545(b)(1)(i)-(iii), (2). When a petition is filed outside the one-year time limit, the petitioner must plead and prove the applicability of one of the three exceptions to the PCRA time restriction. See Commonwealth v. Perrin, 947 A.2d 1284, 1285 (Pa.Super. 2008); 42 Pa.C.S. § 9545(b)(1).[4]
Here, Appellant's judgment of sentence became final on or about November 24, 2008, when his time to file a direct appeal from his guilty plea and sentence expired. See Pa.R.A.P. 903(a); 42 Pa.C.S. § 9545(b)(3). Hence, in order to comply with the time limits of the PCRA, Appellant had to file a petition within one year of that date. Appellant did not file his habeas corpus petition until January 11, 2012, well beyond the one-year time limit. Appellant did not plead or prove one of the statutory exceptions to the time bar under 42 Pa.C.S. § 9545(b)(1). Consequently, although Appellant's issues 1 through 4 are cognizable under the PCRA, they are time-barred. Consequently, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of those issues. See Murray, supra.
As well, in issue 5C, Appellant asserts that the trial court erred in failing to recognize the alleged defect in that court's jurisdiction. In substance, the basis for Appellant's argument is that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to convict him of a crime. See Brief for Appellant at 29 ("The Appellant avers that Pennsylvania had no jurisdiction to hear the case brought against him and that all charges should be dismissed."). As we set forth above, this claim is cognizable under the PCRA and, in this case, untimely. Thus, we lack jurisdiction to address this claim as well. See Murray, supra.
Because Appellant's habeas corpus petition was time-barred, Appellant's derivative issues related to the denial of his habeas corpus petition cannot succeed. Thus, issues 6B (alleging that the trial court erred by not holding a full hearing on Appellant's habeas corpus petition), 6C (alleging that the trial court erred for failing to reinstate Appellant's PCRA rights, even though Appellant did not ask the court to do so), 6D (alleging that the trial court failed to "recognize that Appellant had to file [a] Habeas corpus because he was time barred for PCRA, " see Brief for Appellant at 31-32), 6E (alleging that the trial court failed to hold a full hearing on Appellant's habeas corpus petition), and 6F (alleging generally that the trial court erred in not granting Appellant's habeas corpus petition) must fail.
We turn next to Appellant's issues 5A and 5B. Appellant alleges that the trial court failed to appoint counsel for him at the time of his arrest and for his extradition hearing. Questions of cognizability aside, we note that Appellant did not raise either of these two issues in his January 11, 2011 petition for habeas corpus or in his March 2, 2012 amendment to his petition for habeas corpus. Thus, these issues are waived, and we may not consider them any further. See Pa.R.A.P. 302(a) ("Issues not raised in the lower court are waived and cannot be raised for the first time on appeal."); Commonwealth v. Lewis, 63 A.3d 1274, 1278 (Pa.Super. 2013).
In issue 6A, Appellant alleges that the trial court erred by failing to appoint counsel, which he requested, to litigate both of his petitions. In presenting this argument, Appellant fails to support his claim with a citation to legal authority. The entirety of Appellant's argument consists of two paragraphs, and lacks any substantial development sufficient to justify our review of his claim. See Brief for Appellant at 29. Most notably, Appellant does not set forth a legal principle to demonstrate that he is entitled to counsel, the violation of which constitutes legal error, in his pursuit of relief in his two petitions. Rule 2119(a) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that "[t]he argument shall . . . have . . . the particular point treated therein, followed by such discussion and citation of authorities as are deemed pertinent." Pa.R.A.P. 2119(a). Failure by the appellant to discuss pertinent facts or cite legal authority results in waiver. Commonwealth v. Rhodes, 54 A.3d 908, 915 (Pa.Super. 2012). Consequently, Appellant's underdeveloped argument is waived.
In issue 6G, Appellant assails the trial court's denial of his petition for return of property. Appellant contends that the Commonwealth did not establish a nexus between the laptop computer that was seized from his residence and the crime to which Appellant pleaded guilty. "Logging onto a website is not a crime. The Commonwealth found nothing in the laptop that specifically links the laptop in question to any of the alleged victims or crimes . . . ." Brief for Appellant at 36. Appellant further notes that, of the over one thousand pieces of discovery material that he received from the Commonwealth related to his crime, not one of them was printed from the laptop in question. Id. For these reasons, Appellant maintains that the trial court erred in denying his motion for return of the laptop. We disagree.
In cases involving motions for the return of property, we employ an abuse of discretion standard of review. Beaston v. Ebersole, 986 A.2d 876, 880 (Pa.Super. 2009). In doing so, we are mindful that "it is the province of the trial court to judge the credibility of the witnesses and weigh the testimony offered." Commonwealth v. Durham, 9 A.3d 641, 645 (Pa.Super. 2010) (quoting Commonwealth v. Younge, 667 A.2d 739, 741 (Pa.Super. 1995)). "It is not the duty of an appellate court to act as fact-finder, but to determine whether there is sufficient evidence in the record to support the facts as found by the trial court." Id.
In Durham, we set forth a comprehensive statement of the law governing motions for return of property as follows:
Pennsylvania Rule of Criminal Procedure ("Pa.R.Crim.P.") 588 addresses motions for the return of property and reads as follows:
Motion for Return of Property
(A) A person aggrieved by a search and seizure, whether or not executed pursuant to a warrant, may move for the return of the property on the ground that he or she is entitled to lawful possession thereof. Such motion shall be filed in the court of common pleas for the judicial district in which the property was seized.
(B) The judge hearing such motion shall receive evidence on any issue of fact necessary to the decision thereon. If the motion is granted, the property shall be restored unless the court determines that such property is contraband, in which case the court may order the property to be forfeited.
Pa.R.Crim.P. 588(A) and (B). We have explained the application of Rule 588 as follows:
Under this rule, on any motion for return of property, the moving party must establish by a preponderance of the evidence entitlement to lawful possession. Once that is established, unless there is countervailing evidence to defeat the claim, the moving party is entitled to the return of the identified property. A claim for return of property can be defeated in two ways: an opposing party can establish that it, not the moving party, is entitled to lawful possession to the property or the Commonwealth can seek forfeiture claiming that property for which return is sought is derivative contraband. Commonwealth v. Crespo, 884 A.2d 960 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2005). To meet its burden to defeat the motion for return of property, the Commonwealth must make out more than simply demonstrating that the property was in the possession of someone who has engaged in criminal conduct. It must establish a specific nexus between the property and the criminal activity. Commonwealth v. Howard, 713 A.2d 89 (Pa. 1998); Commonwealth v. 2001 Toyota Camry, 894 A.2d 207 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2006).
Ebersole, 986 A.2d at 881 (adopting verbatim the reasoning of Singleton v. Johnson, 929 A.2d 1224, 1227 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2007) (en banc)).3
3 We noted in Ebersole that decisions rendered by the Commonwealth Court are not binding on this Court. Ebersole, 986 A.2d at 881 (citing Commonwealth v. Thomas, 814 A.2d 754, 759 n.2 (Pa.Super. 2002)). However, where this Court is persuaded by the reasoning set forth by the Commonwealth Court, we may follow it. Id.; see also Commonwealth v. Thomas, 814 A.2d 754, 759 n. 2 (Pa.Super. 2002) (stating that, while decisions of the Commonwealth Court are not binding upon this Court, we may elect to follow the Commonwealth Court decisions if we find the rationale persuasive). Hence, the Ebersole Court chose to follow the persuasive reasoning of Singleton.
The law is well[-]settled that:
[o]n a motion for return of property, the moving party has the burden of proving ownership or lawful possession of the items. The burden then shifts to the Commonwealth to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the property is contraband.
[D]erivative contraband is property which is innocent in itself but which has been used in the perpetration of an unlawful act. Property is not derivative contraband, however, merely because it is owned or used by someone who has been engaged in criminal conduct. Rather, the Commonwealth must establish a specific nexus between the property and the alleged criminal activity.
Petition of Koenig, 663 A.2d 725, 726 (Pa.Super. 1995) (citations omitted). Durham, 9 A.3d at 645-46 (some citations modified).
The Commonwealth concedes that Appellant has proven that he lawfully owned the laptop in question. See Brief for Commonwealth at 10. We accept that concession, and turn our attention to whether the trial court abused its discretion in finding that the Commonwealth proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the laptop constituted derivative contraband. The trial judge, who observed the witnesses first-hand, credited the testimony of Detective Joseph Kelly. Detective Kelly testified at the hearing on Appellant's motion for return of property that he observed a forensic analysis of Appellant's laptop, which yielded proof that Appellant had used that laptop to log onto www.milliionairematch.com, the website that Appellant used to perpetrate his $100, 000 scheme. Bound as we are by the trial court's credibility determinations, we conclude that the record supports the trial court's finding that the laptop was derivative contraband.
As such, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Appellant's motion for return of property.
In his final issue, 6H, Appellant argues that the trial court erred by not requiring the Commonwealth to present the actual computer at the hearing. Appellant again cites no legal authority to support his claim that the property must be presented in open court in order to establish the requisite nexus between his criminality and the property. Appellant cites a lone case, Commonwealth v. Pomerantz, 573 A.2d 1149 (Pa.Super. 1989), in which this Court distinguished motions for return of property from forfeiture petitions. Id. at 1149-50. We never discussed the issue of whether property must be produced in court before a motion for return of property may be ruled upon. Thus, Pomerantz provides no support for Appellant's argument. Moreover, Appellant also fails to demonstrate how the presence of the actual laptop would have had any impact on the proceeding. In any event, because Appellant has failed to offer legal authority in support of his claim, the claim is waived. See Rhodes, supra.
Orders affirmed.

Herman M. Rodgers, with him Rodgers, Marks and Marks, for appellant.
Joseph J. Nelson, First Assistant District Attorney, with him Robert F. Banks, Assistant District Attorney, and Edward M. Bell, District Attorney, for Commonwealth, appellee.

[ 216 Pa. Super. Page 128]
Judgment of sentence affirmed.
Judgment of sentence affirmed.
Concurring and Dissenting Opinion by Hoffman, J.:
Appellant was convicted by a jury of burglary and possession of burglary tools. The sole burglary tool introduced into evidence was a wooden ladder. The ladder was found near an unlocked window, on the second floor roof, of a building which appellant had entered unlawfully. The trial court overruled appellant's demurrer to the evidence and denied his motions in arrest of judgment and for a new trial. This appeal followed.
Section 904 of The Penal Code, Act of June 24, 1939, P. L. 872, 18 P.S. § 4904, provides as follows: "Whoever has in his possession any tool, false-key, lock pick, bit nippers, fuse, force-screw, punch, drill, jimmy, or any material, implement, instrument or other mechanical device, designed or commonly used for breaking into any. . . dwelling house, or door, shutter or window of a building of any kind, with the intent to use such tools or instruments for any of the felonious purposes aforesaid, is guilty of a misdemeanor. . . ." [Emphasis added.]
The duty is imposed upon us by the Statutory Construction Act, Act of May 28, 1937, P. L. 1019, art. IV, § 58, 46 P.S. § 558, as well as Section 1104 of The Penal Code, 18 P.S. § 5104, to construe the provision of The Penal Code strictly. Compare Commonwealth ex rel. Varronne v. Cunningham, 365 Pa. 68, 73 A.2d 705 (1950), with Commonwealth v. Mason, 381 Pa. 309, 112 A.2d 174 (1955). The doctrine of "strict construction" is amply summed up by the following passage:
[ 216 Pa. Super. Page 129]
"The courts are, on the one hand, to refuse to 'extend the punishment to cases which are not clearly embraced' in the statutes; on the other hand, to refuse, 'by any mere verbal nicety, forced construction, or equitable interpretation, to exonerate parties plainly within their scope.' At the same time, in matters of reasonable doubt, this doubt is to tell in favor of liberty and life." 1 Wharton, Criminal Law, § 40 (Ruppenthal 12th ed. 1932) [Footnotes omitted.] See also Commonwealth v. Glover, 397 Pa. 543, 156 A.2d 114 (1959); Commonwealth v. Exler, 243 Pa. 155, 89 A. 968 (1914); Commonwealth v. Standard Oil Co., 101 Pa. (5 Out.) 119, 150 (1882).
Under a strict construction of Section 904, is a ladder a burglary tool?
Section 904's most general language indicates that a "burglary tool" is to have three attributes: (1) It must be some "material, implement, instrument or other mechanical device." The examples listed by the statute are in the nature of hand tools. (2) The device must be "designed or commonly used" for the purpose of breaking into. The examples listed by the statute are devices made specially or particularly suited for burglarizing. (3) The device must be "used for breaking into."
A ladder could be considered a "mechanical device." It is, however, unlike the other devices listed by the statute because it is not a hand tool. Moreover, it is not "designed" for burglary, and it is questionable whether it is "commonly used" in burglaries. Finally, a ladder is not a device that is "used for breaking into." Certainly it makes it easier to break into by giving access to windows and doors not otherwise available. But the examples listed by the statute are peculiarly concerned with the actual opening up and breaking of windows and doors rather than with the obtaining access thereto. If there remains any doubt
[ 216 Pa. Super. Page 130]
that a ladder is not a burglary tool, a construction "in favor of life and liberty" would require that we so find.
Such a finding, finally, is supported by the relevant Supreme Court case on the subject. In Commonwealth v. Clinton, 391 Pa. 212, 217-218, 137 A.2d 463 (1958), the Supreme Court, in reversing our Court, said: "The Commonwealth failed to present any evidence whatsoever that the tools found in Clinton's car were 'designed or commonly used for breaking into any vault, etc.,' an indispensable feature in a conviction under this statute. In affirming the conviction of the Court of Quarter Sessions, the Superior Court said, with reference to Clinton's tools: 'If they are suitable for felonious breaking and entering, it is immaterial that they can be adapted also for lawful uses.' This is not the law. There are many tools and implements which are suitable for felonious breaking and entering, the possession of which would not subject the possessor to criminal prosecution. Saws, hammers, nails, tongs, awls, knives, mattocks, scythes, files, pliers, gimlets, pincers, wrenches, gauges, and spatulas, all can be used for breaking and entering a house, but they still retain their non-criminal status. With the countless types of do-it-yourself kits, there are hundreds of other tools and instruments which are supposed to be of service to the mechanically or non-mechanically inclined householder in holding his house together, keeping the plumbing operating, and preventing the roof from caving in. Even a corkscrew can be employed to get into a house, but the law would come to a sorry pass indeed if the possessor of a corkscrew had to prove that the corkscrew on his key ring had no purpose other than that of opening ketchup or more fluent bottles."
With respect to the burglary conviction, I find there is sufficient evidence and would therefore affirm judgment of sentence with respect thereto.
[ 216 Pa. Super. Page 131]

Chinese premier embraces "difficult" path
Be the first to suggest a tag
China has worried investors and trading partners alike as a slowdown in the world's second largest economy suggested the country's leadership might not have as much control over it as it once did. But as Joel Flynn reports, the Boao Forum in Hainan in China has seen its premier reassure the rest of the world it's not afraid to take "difficult" steps to fix things.

(written from a Production point of view)
Christopher S. Claremont (born 30 November 1950; age 66) is a comic book author. He is best known for his extended run from 1975 to 1991 on the Uncanny X-Men comic for Marvel Comics, making it one of the industry's most successful properties.
He started in the industry in 1974, writing Iron Fist, a title that teamed him with John Byrne. By 1975, Len Wein had given him writing duties on the Uncanny X-Men, a title that would change his life. During his sixteen year run on the title, he was responsible for a number of classic stories and the creation of a number of important characters, including Sabretooth, Mystique, Mister Sinister, and Rogue. In that period, he also worked with Frank Miller on the first Wolverine mini-series.
In addition to his vast body of comics work, Claremont has also written a number of novels, including the Shadow War trilogy with George Lucas, acting as a sequel to the events of the movie Willow, and a science fiction trilogy about the adventures of a female starship pilot named Nicole Shea.
He also had a brief cameo at the start of the 2006 movie X-Men: The Last Stand which featured Star Trek actors Kelsey Grammer, Famke Janssen, and John Pyper-Ferguson.
He contributed a one page essay entitled "Moments to Remember" to the anniversary comic published in DC's second TOS series, "Target: Mudd!", the short story "Cry Vengeance" to 1994's "TNG Special 2", but his primary Star Trek contribution is the authoring of the "Debt of Honor" graphic novel in late 1992.

Our July 17 editorial, referencing the tawdry lawsuit looming over the race for first selectman in Stonington, noted that unless new information surfaced it would be a non-issue in the campaign. A woman alleged that in January 2010 First Selectman Ed Haberek electronically sent her a naked photo of himself, causing her great distress. Mr. Haberek denied the allegations made by the woman, Tracy Swain. He did so again as recently as Oct. 24 during a debate with this Republican challenger, Glee McAnanly.
"I vehemently deny the allegations that this individual has (made)," the first selectman said of Ms. Swain.
It was a "she said, he said" standoff, but as that editorial also observed, "It appears someone is lying."
Now more information has surfaced. While it can be argued that Mr. Haberek has not been lying, he does appear to have been telling half-truths, Bill Clintonesque in his use of denials that circle around the facts.
In a Sept. 26 deposition that has become public, he admits sending Ms. Swain an image of a naked man. "I imagine it was a pornographic ad type of thing," he testified. However, it was not a personal photo and he did not use a town computer or phone to send it, said Mr. Haberek.
Mr. Haberek's and Ms. Swain's depositions depict a sometimes graphic texting and email affair, never consummated. Moral judgments aside, this would normally come under the heading of personal business, separate from the duties of public office. The problem for Mr. Haberek is that his bad judgment and reckless behavior has also embroiled the town as a defendant in the Swain lawsuit. In addition, his less than candid responses to questions about the lawsuit over the past two years raise issues of integrity.
Had Mr. Haberek owned up to what happened from the start - assuming his latest contentions are true - voters would have been more apt to forgive and forget. Instead, he waited to be candid only when under oath and confronting perjury.
This episode is part of a pattern that raises concerns about the decision making and honesty of the Democratic incumbent.
In 2009 Mr. Haberek wrote a series of commentaries and blogs that lifted entire passages from the writings of others, without giving proper credit.
This past May, ignoring the request of police officers, he intervened in a volatile dispute at which the town's inland wetlands officer was serving a cease-and-desist order on an irate resident.
Information that surfaced this fall raised questions whether Mr. Haberek was skirting town policy in his use of a town vehicle and in obtaining reimbursement for expenses beyond his $6,000 expense account.
His administration has repeatedly denied and delayed granting Freedom of Information requests, even when the law was clear the documents sought were in the public realm, most recently in August, denying a request for a harassment claim made by an employee against Mr. Haberek.
Taken individually, each of this matters could be dismissed as a mistake or rationalized as an honest disagreement, but collectively they raise serious concerns.
For these reasons The Day, though having endorsed Mr. Haberek in the past for his communication skills, economic development efforts, fiscal restraint and handling of emergencies, cannot do so again.
In Glee McAnanly, voters have a viable alternative. Given her four years of service as selectwoman, she has the experience to move into the first chair. She vows to be an engaged first selectwoman, attending key meetings, and giving particular attention to strategic planning and to updating the Plan of Conservation and Development.
Ms. McAnanly promises to fill vacancies on and reactivate the Ethics Commission, making ethical behavior a cornerstone of her administration. Her management style, she says, will be one of mutual respect and communication.
The Day endorses Glee McAnanly for first selectwoman of Stonington.

Who else has a Doppler? I pulled mine out this afternoon just for fun. I'm only 8w6d but figured I'd play. I first heard DD at 10w4d but that was the day I got the Doppler so I couldn't have tried sooner.
Anyways, I definitely found the placenta today! It seems to be on my left side, so hopefully it stays to one side! It was in the front with DD and definitely affected what you could feel from the outside! I also think it protected my bladder because I never got bladder kicks. Anyways, I *may* have caught the bean's HB for a second but I'm not 100% sure because it was such a short amount of time. It definitely wasn't the placenta as it was on the other side and don't have the 'wind' sound the placenta has.
I guess I'll try again in a few days with a full bladder.

By Josh Myler
Thirty years ago, in his Sci-fi thriller Blade Runner, Ridley Scott introduced us to what Los Angeles might be like in the year 2019. Some consider it to be the most ingenious sci-fi picture of all time. What was so compelling about Scott's characterization of the future, was its authenticity. Part of that authenticity came from little nuances that many of the other film makers, of the time, over-looked. In one scene, for example, Harrison Ford's character, Deckard, casually walks into his apartment and turns on all of the systems (e.g. lights, sound) by voice automation. This was imaginative and cool because it wasn't a facet of everyday life most people considered to be possible.
Today, those little nuances have become big business and are surely an integral part of life, as we know it. We are now more directly and more seamlessly connected (and in control) of the tools we use every day. Today we can remotely control our lights, televisions, security systems, thermostats, garage doors, sprinklers, home audio systems and even our kitchen appliances from anywhere around the world via mobile device. Home automation saves time, energy and money (on utility bills, for one). It also enhances our quality of life. You can turn on your lights from several miles away. You can even program your thermostat to kick on as you wait for your bag at carousel number 4, ensuring a comfortable climate upon your return.
One of the many companies providing this type of home automation, and arguably today's best, is Control4. And it is the system the developers of 825 Berkeley Street, The Agency's new Santa Monica listing (photo at right), chose as their go-to to help make their home one of the smartest in town.
Control4 distinguishes itself from some of the others, through the concept of controlling rooms, rather than the equipment within a room. In the Control4 model, devices that produce music or video for example are not limited to belonging to the room in which they're physically located. Instead, systems are located centrally and accessed remotely, via mobile device (e.g. iPad, iPhone, etc.)
In the "old days," to watch a movie on DVD, we had to turn on the television and choose an input on the TV (e.g. INPUT 1) to view the DVD player. Then the DVD player had to be turned on, the movie loaded, and off we finally went, into popcorn land. If we wanted to watch that movie in surround sound, we'd have to push yet another button on the receiver or amplifier.
Using Control4, we simply pick up a remote, designate a specific room, press "WATCH" and "DVD" and the rest happens, automatically. Now, saving us two or three steps may not sound like moving mountains, but when multiplied across 825 Berkeley's 12+ interior spaces and its multitude of systems, wired throughout the house, the concept begins to reveal its benefits. In other words, being able to access any DVD, song, level of volume, temperature or lighting (to name a few) from any room inside or outside the house, makes living in that house pretty nice.
When I was a kid I remember my father bringing home our first home stereo system. Up until that point, our only "stereo" was a beat-up old boom box that my older brother left in the kitchen. It was the summer of 1982 (the same year Blade Runner was in theaters) and I remember my father researching and talking about this thing called a B&O for months leading up to its arrival. I'll never forget when he brought it home from the electronics store. It felt like Christmas, in the middle of July. He and my brother lugged the box into the living room, and we all gathered around and watched as my father opened it and carefully pulled out each component. It was as if he was unearthing the Lost Ark.
The system was a Bang & Olufsen Beocenter – their latest innovation. To us, it might as well have been from outer space. I'd never seen anything like it before. It was a thin, shiny, black rectangle and had compartments that opened thermally, when you ran your fingers over specific spots on its surface. It seemed as if there would never be better system or a cooler design. We've come a long way since. And, each year, we take another leap forward towards Ridley Scott's vision of tomorrow.
825 Berkeley is just one example of what's a happening out there. A good one I might add.
A really good one.

1964. An ordinary day turns out to be anything but, when Joe comes home to find out that his wife Betty hasn't been cooking dinner. And there's a very good reason for that.
It is a rebellion against the role of women in that era. The film captured the 1960's era with colorful visuals and great costumes.
A scary alien invasion type of movie but I like the production design.

3 Days in Berlin
Guide to Berlin Outdoors
Museum Guide for Berlin
I like Luzai to drink something. It is one of the good options in Berlin to drink somethings before go to the clubs
Extensive cocktail list. The decor and ambience is probably what draws in the crowds. We popped in to see the place having heard about its popularity and street art. Perfect for a drink during the day while watching the street below through the large open windows.
The decor appears to be a lot of salvage type stuff - old retro...
Great for a drink. Check out the wall art. Food restricted to Pringles. Some bar food options would be appreciated. Take a look............
Great bar .The music there is oustanding. I like how the bar is decorated that reminds you something that is abandoned maybe.You can also smoke inside and that happens rarely at Germany.They deserve a fiva star review
Great Drinks and very good service at this cocktail bar in the heart of Kreuzberg. The run down interior matches the feel of the suburb. Recommended.
On the contrary to many other reviews here it wasn't that full when we went on a sunday evening, drinks were really cheap, and they didn't hold back on the licker either! Nice mellow atmosphere aswell. Didn't go to that many bars during my stay but this one was regardless my favorite! Located on a popular street
Absolutely chilled normcore place with up-to-date and classic longdrinks. If you are looking for unique berlinish bar with the spirit of the city you should come by. Especially treasure is that they serve gorgeous pimm's no 1 cocktail.
Great Music, hip decor, great cocktails but the service was bad and it took us forever to get a drink! The bartender was rude as well! The street looked a bit dodgy when we were heading there by walk so I was suprised such place if open there.
We had a couple of lattes in the outdoor seating on a Saturday afternoon in this bohemian neighborhood and had a great time. Highly recommended for tourists who wish to feel like a local.
Sitting outside meant not having to look at mural of Che Guevara.
Came to take some drinks after dinner. It was the worst drinks we ever tasted. Just buy some water at the store. Just as good.

Garfield is a sweet big boy with lots of love to give. He is very chill and relaxed and gets along with everyone he meets. Garfield likes a lot of attention and truly enjoys a good brushing of his super silky and soft coat. He would be great as an only pet with someone with lots of time to give him the love he deserves. He is declawed, neutered and roughly 4 years old.

Ethiopian Airlines expands in West Africa with 737-800s at Togo affiliate ASKY & Lome-Newark service
Ethiopian Airlines is building up its West African operation, through expansion at the Togo-based affiliate ASKY and new long haul services from Lome to New York and São Paulo. ASKY is adding capacity to several of its 19 destinations as it takes delivery of two 737-800s, which will be the largest aircraft in its fleet.
ASKY took delivery of its first 737-800 in early Jun-2016, giving it a fleet of eight aircraft including three 737-700s and four Bombardier Dash 8 Q400s. ASKY plans to take delivery of a second 737-800 by the end of 2016, which will be used to replace one of its Dash 8 Q400s, driving a further increase in capacity.
Ethiopian resumed services from Lome to São Paulo in May-2016 and plans to launch services from Lome to Newark in early Jul-2016. ASKY is playing a critical feeder role for both long haul routes and its expansion also enables it to increase its share of the intra-West Africa market.

|Fraggle Rock
|Air Date
|April 30, 1984
|Written by
|B.P. Nichol
|Eric Till
Gobo is selected to write the Glory Song, and he asks all the Fraggles not to sing for a little while so that he can concentrate. Just as he starts to get a handle on the song, the lights go out all over Fraggle Rock, and all the Fraggles and Doozers fall asleep. Eventually, only Gobo is left to figure out how to bring the light back to the Rock.
Meanwhile, Doc tries to find a way to communicate with other species starting with Sprocket.
Fraggle Facts
- Once every generation, a Fraggle is chosen by random draw to write the Glory Song, a commemoration of that cycle of the cave. The song is a major part of the Fraggles' oral history, and Gobo's selection is an enormous honor.
- It is revealed that the Ditzies are the light source of Fraggle Rock and live off the music there.
- This episode illuminates one of the big mysteries of Fraggle Rock -- if they live in underground caves, where does all the light come from?
- In Uncle Traveling Matt's postcard, he meets a street musician playing a guitar. This musician is Phil Balsam, who writes all the Fraggles' music.
- In 2011, this episode was the subject of a controversy. While watching the episode in reruns on The Hub, a father claimed that the racial slur "Jigaboo" was uttered. According to the episode's script, the line is "Gee Gobo." To prevent other viewers from making the same mistake, The Hub planned to edit Gobo's name out of the sentence before future airings of the episode.[1]

12 thrifty food swaps you need to know
Feeling the pinch? With a bit of smart shopping you can save on your grocery bill without sacrificing flavour. Hurrah!
If you've ever delved into an Ottolenghi book you'll know the pain of forking out for that lengthy list of ingredients (hello saffron).
Never fear: we've got a few tricks up our sleeve to make food shopping a little bit more frugal.
Swap: shallots for leeks
Why it works: leeks pack a serious onion flavour punch, but without the fancy-pants French price tag.

Swap: tahini for peanut butter
Why it works: tahini is, in effect, sesame butter. It may sound strange to substitute the nutty element of your hummus for peanut butter but it works (thanks Nigella) and your wallet will thank you for it.
Via: Asha Pagdiwalla/CC-BY-SA 2.0/Flickr: ashapagdiwalla
Swap: saffron for paprika and turmeric
Why it works: the flavours might not be the same, but saffron is often used as a food dye and these two spices will make your foods just as mellow yellow at a quarter of the price.
Via: Zoyachubby/CC-BY-SA 2.0/Flickr: zoyachubby
Swap: fresh peas for frozen
Why it works: frozen peas can taste just as good – if not better – as the fresh pods you'll find in any supermarket, because they've been frozen just after picking, giving them less time to go starchy. Bonza.
Via: Ruth Hartnup/CC-BY-SA 2.0/Flickr: ruthanddave
Swap: Parmigiano-Reggiano for Grana Padano
Why it works: they're like cousins but Grana Padano is milder, nuttier and cheaper. Didn't everyone get that memo?
Via: Maggie Hoffman/CC-BY-SA 2.0/Flickr: maggiejane
Swap: truffles for porcini or a drizzle of truffle oil
Why it works: you won't get the same intesity as you would with truffles, but the pungent flavour will be there – plus you'll have a few extra coins in your purse.
Swap: chicken breast for the whole bird
Why it works: while butchering a bird may sound like a terrifying prospect it's not difficult, and buying it whole is more economical.
Swap: buttermilk for whole milk with lemon juice
Why it works: if a recipe calls for buttermilk but you don't want to leave the rest of the carton to fester at the back of your fridge, this will be your saviour.
Via: Melissa Wiese/CC-BY-SA 2.0/Flickr: 42dreams
Swap: sweet potatoes for carrots
Why it works: they both turn sweet and sticky in the oven. Mmm.
Via: Mike Licht/CC-BY-SA 2.0/Flickr: notionscapital
Swap: vanilla pods for vanilla extract or paste
Why it works: you'll get the same aroma and flavour, just not the same intensity. With the paste, you'll even get those lovely black specs in your food, so no one will know (unless you tell them) how thrifty you really are.
Via: Ted Mjajor/CC-BY-SA 2.0/Flickr: ted_major
Swap: pancetta for bacon
Why it works: the porkie products taste similar but your good old streaky bacon is a lot cheaper.
Via: Pink Sherbet Photography/CC-BY-SA 2.0/Flickr: pinksherbet
Swap: cardamom for equal parts of ground cinnamon and nutmeg
Why it works: you'll get that similarly enticing warm and spicy-sweet aromatic flavour.
