The homemade tomato sauce that's more than just a topping
Broadcast: 03/03/2006
Reporter: Layla Tucak
REBECCA CARMODY (PRESENTER): For many Italian families making tomato sauce is an annual event.
For the De Boni's of Coolbellup it's a tradition that's been carried on for generations, and they claim the quality of their homemade sauce is far superior to the bottled and canned varieties.
So, when the time was ripe, Layla Tucak joined the De Boni family to see, first hand, how they convert 800-kilograms of roma tomatoes into tasty tomato sauce.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER): The preparation starts quite a few months before sourcing out the supplier of the tomatoes and you know obviously Roma tomatoes are our preference.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER):Getting the supplier is the first thing and coordinating who's going to go and pick it up, making sure we've got trailers and cars . Also preparation in terms of, mum's planting seeds for the basil.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER):Once the call goes out that the tomatoes are ready, the grower rings us it gets put on the bush telegraph and we all find out the tomatoes are on. Then we all arrive and help with cleaning the bottles.
LAYLA TUCAK(REPORTER): When Evelyn Green's family get together at her mum and dad's house for their annual tomato sauce making day, they paint the backyard red.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER): A couple of years ago we did a tonne, this year we've managed to source 800-kilos which will do us and that's fine because we've got a little bit of left overs from last year.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): Evelyn's mother, Iolanda De Boni, has been making sauce for the best part of her 67-years...
IOLANDA DE BONI (GRANDMOTHER): Did you do this as a child growing up in Italy? Yes. As a child yes. My mum and all my sisters. So it would be a big family event like this? I had a big family, seen sisters and two brothers and we did it a couple of times a year. Now where does the recipe come from? I have no idea. Maybe from my great great great grandma.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): For years, Iolanda and her husbland Clino De Boni have carried on the tradition in Australia...but now they leave most of the heavy work to their children and grandchildren...six families in total.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER):Basically any rottern ones are thrown out. Then the little kids mainly today have helped put them in buckets and stuff and bring them down and they go to here, this is the cleaning station.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): The tomatoes are washed a few of times before they're placed in a coppers on fires.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER): Once they've come to the boil and all the tomatoes have split, mum makes the call as to whether they are ready, and she's the quality contol person, so she's floating around and she'll come up and make the call and say yep their done.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): The tomatoes are then placed in crates lined with old tableclothes and drained before they are crushed.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER): Up until only about four years ago we had a manual machine, so it used a lot of elbow grease. Now we have modernised a little bit and we have an electric machine. We've still got to do the hard yakka of putting it in and squeezing it down.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER): You can see that the first run, a bit like wine, the first run is just loads of water, loads of free run juice. It actually goes through a couple of times so that you get a beautiful, thick tomato puree.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): In fact, the tomatoes go through the machine abot three times so the only by-product is virtually dry skin...which usually goes to soomeone's chooks, or back into the garden. The puree gets put into bottles with fresh basil and capped like beer.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER): Now because the puree only has some salt and some basil in it, in order to preserve it it has to be boiled up, in the bottles.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): So, it gets put into 44- gallon drums, boiled and is then cooled.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER): I absolutely hated it as a child, and I think most of my brothers and sisters would agree on this because it was such hard work and it was also a very uncool thing to do, you certainly wouldn't admit it to your mates that you were making tomato sauce on the weekend.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): But these days all that's changed. Evelyn Green is happy to be making sauce with her family and she's also discovered that over the years it's become a 'cool' thing to do...Every year the day even attracts one token Aussie, this year it's Paul Warner.
EVELYN GREEN (DAUGHTER): He thinks if he puts some work in, we might give him some bottles but there's negotiations underway as to how many bottles of sauce he gets.
PAUL WARNER (TOKEN AUSSIE): What brings you here this year? Well, I suffer from a little bit of intolerance I suppose you'd call it to processed or commercial tomato pastes and sauces so I come here and manage to for my slave labour for a day I manage to get two or three bottles of sauce, so I do alright.
PAUL WARNER (TOKEN AUSSIE): You couldn't get anything better, it's all natural, no artificial flavours, processes or anything like that. It's by far the best sauce you could get. And of course it's got that added ingredient, it's made with a lot of love? yes, oh yes, that's what it's made with. I actually thought it was tomatoes, but if its made with love that's great yeah.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): By the end of the day there'll be hundreds of bottles of tomato sauce. And while it's a messy operation, and the love it's been made with is unquantifiable, there's no doubt in anyone's mind that it is the magic potion that brought Clino and Iolanda together over forty-six years ago.
IOLANDA DE BONI (GRANDMOTHER): I met him one day I was making tomato sauce and he came up, this guy, and that's where it started. Six months later we were married.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): What is it that you like about this particular day, this tomato sauce making day that happens every year?
IOLANDA DE BONI (GRANDMOTHER): Well, it's a hard job, but at least if you can get together all the family, so far so good, I don't know. I hope they carry on the tradition.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): What about you guys has it been hard work today or are you just looking forward to lunch?
GRANDCHILDREN: "Yeah yeah". It's really really good stuff. Nah, it's really nice. I like it when she puts it in stews and makes like lamb chop stews and she has polenta, that's my favourite meal that nonna cooks and she cooks some pretty good ones. So, better than Dolmio? I've never actually had that stuff out of cans, I wouldn't know.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): So tell us what goes into your recipe?
IOLANDA DE BONI (GRANDMOTHER): No, that's a secret.
LAYLA TUCAK (REPORTER): While the De Bonis might not be willing to give up all their gastronic secrets, they are more than happy to share their tasty table fare.

The 2012 U.S. presidential election presents a contrast to the 2008 election in terms of their perceptions by the Russian political elite. The progress in U.S.-Russian relations since 2009 does not mean that Russians are entirely satisfied with their relations with the U.S. They took issue with Mitt Romney's characterization of Russia as the "No. 1 geopolitical foe" seeing it as rooted in the Cold War. However, the hope remains that the stronger dialog and cooperation for mutual gain will be an opportunity to weaken nationalist phobias in both Russia and the U.S. San Francisco State University Professor Andrei Tsygankov, Ph.D., author of Russia and the West from Alexander to Putin and Russia's Foreign Policy will discuss the way to foster a constructive international agenda by treating Russia as a true partner.

Charlie Crist Sued By Talking Heads' David Byrne
Gov. Charlie Crist is being sued by the Talking Heads' David Byrne for copyright infringement, and no it's not for rocking the same style of gentlemanly premature white hair. Crist's campaign used the Talking Heads song "Road to Nowhere" in an attack ad against Marco Rubio without bothering to get permission, let alone pay Byrne to use the tune.
Byrne is asking for $1 million from the Crist campaign, even though the ad only appeared on YouTube and Crist's website.
"In my opinion the damage had already been done by it being out there," Byrne told Billboard.com. "People that I knew had seen (the ad), so it had gotten around... [The suit] is not about politics...It's about copyright and about the fact that it does imply that I would have licensed it and endorsed him and whatever he stands for."
Byrne, of course, can't be blamed for not knowing what exactly it is Crist stands for, as the entire state of Florida has been trying to figure that out for the last four years to little success.

Byrne has hired lawyer Lawrence Iser, the same lawyer that successfully represented Jackson Browne after one of his tunes was used with out permission by the McCain campaign in 2008.
Unfortunately for him, Marco Rubio can't rub this in Crist's face. He has a copyright flap of his own. He used the Steve Miller Band's "Take the Money and Run" in a web attack ad against Crist without permission. The band asked him to stop using, but stopped short of filing suit.
We're pretty sure that Democrat Kendrick Meek hasn't used any unauthorized songs in his web ad, but it's entirely possible he did and no one noticed ...just like everything Meek seems to do in this campaign.
The Crist ad has been removed, but here's the Talking Heads' original track if you're curious.

I've seen this animation on Youtube about half a year ago. Great work!
Oh, and as far as I know, the next part is coming out very soon, sometime around this summer.
Excellent work. Smooth animations, mostly logical movements of the bodies; I liked how the protagonist looked more worn down the further in trouble he got. Nice end, although I would have liked seeing the chopper in a scene. Also quite a funny, if slightly unnecessary, end joke.
Deliver somthing like this again and you're well on your way to become a Newgrounds legend.
One of the best platformer fightscenes I've seen in years. Not only isn't this all stickfigures but more real people, the backgrounds enemies and sounds are just amazing. Love the fact you can full screen this and just watch the epicness go on for 13 minutes straight. It doesn't get boring any second as the action keeps you entertained for a long time. Bonus points for the gore too which I love in action games/videos. I can see the cameos really good too because it practically breaths xiao xiao and double dragon. Very cool video which im surely adding in my favorites.
If ever possible make a sequel, I love your style.
Awesome animation I would say if background would be made look like the animated characters with filter probably like cartoon as well specially some parts would look more complete still great flash animation could easily be a game :)
You just managed to pull of the best 2d fighting Video i have seen to this date.
Overall art and graphics are amazing, especially the reallistic backgrounds, its destruction and the way everything interacts. The character design was quite good too, especially considering how many different looking enemies you had (starting from the first third).
While a lot of people complained about the sounddesign, i do think that the low quality sound fits the trashy and awkward tone of this movie.
The only minor complaint i have is that the movement & combat animations looked a few times a litle choppy. Also one might argue that it get´s a bit too chaotic and the viewer might loose the overview for a short moment, but i actually do like the few overly chaotic scenes
Making it a total of 5 out of 5 stars for you :D.

AD IT UP An example
Author –Who created this message? –Include the product being sold as well as the company in charge (sometimes these are different What not to do: Fruit, Dole This is better: This ad is selling fruit bowls and the company in charge is Dole.
Directed Toward –Who is the audience for the ad? –How do you know this? OR What makes you think this? What not to do: Parents Or Parents are the audience.
Directed Toward This is better: This ad is directed mainly towards parents. I think this because they are the ones that buy these cups, usually for their children. Also, it talks about 100% fruit juice and most kids wouldn't care about what their fruit is sitting in. Also, most kids wouldn't even think about buying fruit.
Ideas –What ideas and emotions does this ad connect to the product? –How do you feel when you look at it? Why do you feel that? What not to do: Happy and hungry Or I feel happy and hungry when I look at this ad.
Ideas This is better: When I look at this ad I feel hungry because the fruit on the right looks delicious with the juice splashing out of the cup. I also feel troubled and upset because I didn't realize all the junk the "other cups" were using in their fruit cups. The slogan, "Wouldn't you rather have your fruit in 100% fruit juice?" made me take notice of all the bad stuff in other cups.
Techniques –What techniques are used to attract your attention and/or "sell" this product? Think about the persuasive techniques we just discussed (bandwagon, negative appeal, gimmicks, etc) –Be sure to explain how this technique is demonstrated in the ad –Include whether or not you think it is effective in selling this product
Techniques What not to do: Product comparison and physical attraction Or This ad uses product comparison and physical attaction
Technique This is better: This ad uses product comparison to sell their fruit cups. They show how tasty and healthy the Dole cup is by showing the 100% fruit juice splashing out of the cup. The "other cups" looks more syrupy and less appetizing. The slogan "Wouldn't you rather have your fruit in 100% fruit juice?" also shows the difference between the two cups.
Technique Continued Another technique this ad uses is physical attraction. They make the Dole fruit look appetizing, again by using the splashing fruit juice. The Dole fruit even looks tastier because you can see the fruit more clearly because it doesn't have the sticky syrup on it. Also, the Dole label is inviting and appealing because of the sunburst in the middle of the O.
Unsaid –What is NOT said in this ad? Why might this info be important? –What might the company in charge be implying? How do you know this? What not to do: Price, nutrition info/sugar content Or This ad doesn't show the price or nutrition info.
Unsaid This is better: What is left unsaid in this ad is the price. Maybe because they use 100% fruit juice it is a lot more expensive than the "other brand." Also, the ad does not include the nutrition information. The fruit juice could contain more natural sugars which might cause it to have a higher calorie count.
Production –Is this ad successful? Do you think people would buy it? Why or why not? (Keep target audience in mind) –Changes What might you change to improve the ad and why? OR Why would you keep it the same? What not to do: Yes, no changes Or I think the ad is successful and people would buy the product. I wouldn't change anything.
Production This is better: I think the ad was successful. The product comparison really helped me see how gross the other product is. I think parents, who are concerned about their child's health, would buy this product. I would not change anything about this ad. I think the fruit splashing is very effective in selling Dole and the use of the pitcher vs. the syrup dispenser was effective in not only grabbing my attention but also in driving home the point that the "other cups" are very unhealthy.

Kinetic and Raman spectroscopic study on catalytic characteristics of carbon blacks in methane decomposition
- DOI: 10.1016/j.cej.2011.08.017
Carbon blacks have been known to exhibit catalytic activities in methane decomposition. However, there remain problems in determining the activation energy and the time-varying catalytic characteristics. In the present study, the significance of carbon deposition on carbon black in a kinetic study was investigated, and the applicability of Raman spectroscopy to the characterization of carbon blacks was examined. First, the activation energy of carbon black was determined at two temperature ranges without taking into account the effect of carbon deposition, and the significant difference between them was observed. Then, the amount of deposited carbon was introduced in a kinetic study to represent the degree of change in catalyst properties due to carbon deposition. On the basis of the observation that the time-varying catalytic characteristics had clear correlations with the amount of deposited carbon, the evaluation method of the activation energy in which the effect of carbon deposition is taken into account was presented. The constant activation energy for each carbon black was obtained in the wide range of the amount of deposited carbon. The presented method was demonstrated to be useful in determining activation energies of carbon blacks which exhibit the time-varying catalytic characteristics. Finally, Raman spectroscopy was applied to carbon blacks, which included fresh ones and those used in the methane decomposition experiment for specified reaction times. The obtained Raman spectra exhibited significant changes in the initial deactivation stage. It was demonstrated that Raman spectroscopy was useful to characterize the initial structural evolution of carbon blacks. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

A new featurette for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has gone online. The featurette centers on the story of the film and obviously there's nothing super-spoilery for those who haven't read the book. If anything, this featurette focuses more on the emotional journey of the movie and the threats surrounding all the characters. There's also more glimpses of the movie itself and those are always welcome.
Hit the jump to check out the featurette. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I opens on November 19th and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II is set for July 15, 2011.

General Motors introduced its newest high-performance sedan at the Daytona International Speedway last weekend, reports Michigan Live.
The five-passenger car features a 6.2-liter Chevrolet LS3 V8 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission with paddles mounted on the steering wheel. It has the same engine as the 2013 Corvette. According to GM, the SS accelerates from zero to 60 mph in about five seconds. It will be available in the U.S. in the fourth quarter 2013.
When it arrives in showrooms, according to GM, the SS will join the Corvette and Camaro, whose combined sales have made Chevrolet America's favorite performance brand for the last two years.

Limited data plans, or maybe their cell coverage is spotty.
Perhaps if you'd do a better deal, it wouldn't have been cheaper for Microsoft to start from scratch than to work with you or some other AV manufacture.

Communication and teamwork failures are well-known threats to patient safety and form the basis of most root causes in reported sentinel events.1 Strategies to improve communication have largely focused on implementing formal teamwork training programs, teaching specific communication skills, and adopting tools that promote communication and more favorable team behavior. Unfortunately, these interventions have produced mixed results, in part because of challenges in collecting and analyzing clinical outcomes affected by teamwork changes.2,3

Their result for The How Low Are Your Sex Standards Test ...
You had sex with 11 out of 21!
You are average! Healthy! You are pretty normal when it comes to selecting women, rejecting and accepting roughly equal numbers of women. You have standards, but they're not crazy.
People who score "average" typically do NOT care more about a woman's body than her face.
Test results are categorized into 8 levels of pickiness, as the graph to the right shows. You are the #4, average, test taker.
Please remember that your scores are subject to your horniness at the time of the test. Alcohol, late-night darkness, a recent breakup or breakdown: these might lower your standards.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)

The house was beautiful and you felt like you were back in that era. Marty does an amazing job at telling the stories and the food, "Awesomely Delicious!". I'd recommend everyone to try this historic place.
Food is amazing!!! Museum tour was great, Chef Martie is a great personal tour guide, not to mention his knowledge of the history of N.C. He will explain how and when NC became what it is today. The character he becomes during the tour is funny, whitty, and extremely knowledgeable of the past presidents and/or The White House. I'm not a history buff but truely enjoyed his explanation,energy and detail that he processes during the your. Although there is not a lot to do in the town of Grover, it is a perfect place to get away and just slow down. There are things to do with a short drive. All around, awesome experience!!!
Great Inn! Marti goes above and beyond to make sure you know all of the fun places to go and also offers an interesting history tour.
Great stay in this very interesting inn with wonderful food! Surrounding area fun to visit. Town itself very small with limited shopping,etc.
My husband and I spent our 29th Anniversary at the Inn of the Patriots in Grover, NC. The house is warm and friendly, the rooms are decorated with the finest detail and very clean. The bed linens were so very soft and comfy. Most impressive was the staff and the home style breakfasts. Everything from the homemade dry cereal, sausage, pumpkin pancakes, homemade syrups, ketchup, and preserves. It felt like we were visiting lifelong friends and we are already planning to return.
Loved the home, it's location, and area! The food was incredible and met some interesting people. Definitely will go back!
We loved our first B&B stay at the Inn of the Patriots. Our host was gracious and helpful, and all the magical Christmas lights in the area (which they keyed us into) allowed for a lovely weekend getaway that made our season magical. The spacious and comfortable rooms, the amazing food, and the museum tour all came together to give us something completely unexpected and delightful. We look forward to making it a new tradition for us, and are so grateful we were able to truly experience this magical place.
Rooms were great and staff was very friendly...home itself was very cozy and behind the scenes tour was interesting
The country gourmet breakfasts were fabulous! Enjoyed the Presidential memorabilia and Marti's tour and tales. Experienced all the extras in nearby Shelby, NC. Would go back!
Very unique home, exceptionally appointed rooms, Delicious gourmet breakfast with new friends to enjoy your time. Also, great history lesson as part of your stay.
We had never been to a B&B before the Inn of the Patriots. We were a little lost as to what it would entail, but we were happy for a new adventure. Marti could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed delicious food in the area, then set about an excursion in a Christmas Light wonderland before nestling down into cozy, snuggly room, perfect for a weekend getaway or a much longer stay. Breakfast in the morning was scrumptious, and the tour of the on-site museum was a treat with a fantastic tour guide (Marti again!). We were incredibly sad to leave, and cannot wait to make it a new family tradition.
We had no plans, but to rest and relax and regroup. There were some local wineries, historical battle ground in King's Mountain (minutes away) and a cute town of Shelby with surprisingly great food (go to the Ni Fen Bistro!) Unplug if you can, and allow yourself to just wander and have fun during the day/evenings, but get ready for amazing break feasts! (aka breakfast)
Thoroughly enjoyed 2 day stay and cooking course. Plenty to do and their 2 restaurants are good.
Host was charming and very informative. Food is outstanding. Lots of Presidential historical information.
We thought the house was charming. Marty gave an outstanding tour

The latest story hitting our desk is that a 58year old mother, Mrs Fausat Ajibola has been arrested by the Nigerian Police for alleged forgery of Neco Exam certificate.
Mrs Fausat Ajibola, was brought before the Oshodi Magistrates court on Thursday, on two-count charge of conspiracy and forgery.
According to the prosecutor, Cpl. Kehinde Olatunde: i quote.
"She obtained the fake certificate in 2008 on behalf of her daughter, who needed the original certificate urgently as one of the requirements to further her education abroad.
"The accused went to her daughter''s school to collect the certificate but it was not ready, so she had to go for the fake certificate at 'Oluwole'in Lagos Island and sent it to her daughter,"
He further alleged that on the 11th of October, the daughter of the accused when to NECO office at No 20, Coker Road, Ilupeju, Lagos, seeking to correct some mistakes on the said certificate.
Evidently, the daughter was unaware that her certificate was faked.
Olatunde told the court that the forgery was discovered by a NECO member of staff which led to the daughter being interrogated and the accused was then apprehended.
Fausat Ajibola, a resident of No 37, Obasola Ajijola St., Ijesha-tedo, Lagos, pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against her. She was finally granted bail in the sum of NGN150,000. (One hundred and fifty thousand naira only)
The case was adjourned till November 22nd.

For the candidates who are thinking of Engaging in creating Fake results and Admissions, Beware!!!!! No matter how long it might take, the law would surely catch up with You!!!
This goes to both the parents, don't support your kids when they plan to game the system.
Rather, encourage them to read and do what is right for them.
Remember, no one can sell you fake O'level results. Unless you want to spend your time inside kiriki prison.

Audacious robbers jailed AGAIN after targeting the same bank branch they raided six years ago in botched heist that left two of their gang shot dead by police
- Leroy Hall and Leon McKenzie were part of original gang
- Pair recruited Caston Francis and Clifford Griffiths after Mark Nunes and Andrew Markland were killed by police marksmen outside HSBC in 2007
- Hall and McKenzie returned to the same branch to 'finish the job' just 11 months after they walked free from prison in 2011
- Quartet snared after detectives spotted they were raiding same banks as original gang had seven years previously
- They stole £100,000 during a 10-month spree across the south of England
- Four-strong gang led by Hall jailed for a total of 23 years
A brazen gang of criminals has been jailed after targetting the bank they raided seven years ago, in a botched heist that left two of their number dead.
Surviving members of the quartet responsible for the 2007 robbery, Leroy Hall and Leon McKenzie are today behind bars along with recruits Caston Francis and Clifford Griffiths.
The group were jailed after detectives closed in on a 'sophisticated conspiracy' responsible for stealing £100,000 during a 10-month crime spree across the south of England.
Gang leaders: Leroy Hall (left) was jailed for six-and-a-half years, while Leon McKenzie (right) was handed a six-year sentence, for their parts in the 10-month crime spree. They were part of the original gang which targeted a branch of HSBC in Hampshire, before returning there to 'finish the job'
New recruits: Clifford Griffiths (left) was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison, while Caston Francis (right) was jailed for five years. They were recruited after two members of the gang were killed
Hall and McKenzie returned to the scene of the crime to 'finish the job' within months of being released from prison on licence in 2011, a judge heard.
Francis and Griffiths were drafted in to replace Mark Nunes, 35, and 36-year-old Andrew Markland, who were shot dead by police marksmen outside an HSBC branch in Chandler's Ford, Hampshire in September 2007.
- Leroy Hall: Jailed for six-and-a-half years. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery, and a count of attempted robbery.
- Leon McKenzie: Jailed for six years. He admitted robbery, attempted robbery and conspiracy to rob.
- Clifford Griffiths: Jailed for five-and-a-half years. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob and attempted robbery.
- Caston Francis: Jailed for five years. He was convicted by a jury of conspiracy to commit robbery.
Hall and McKenzie returned to the bank in Chandler's Ford in November 2011, with new recruits Francis and Griffiths, stealing thousands from a driver delivering money to the branch.
The gang also targeted a bank near Reading in August 2011 and a Lloyds TSB branch in Bath in January 2012.
They targeted one Barclays branch in Gloucester three separate times in 10 months before police officers caught them.
Winchester Crown Court heard police marksmen were lying in wait when the quartet turned up at the Gloucester bank for the third time in April 2012, in a stolen Audi S7 saloon worth £50,000.
The court heard Hall was the leader of the criminal network, which used stolen vehicles fitted with fake number plates as getaway cars.
The gang covertly scoped out banks for days, weeks in some cases, before donning black balaclavas and attacking drivers delivering money in daylight raids.
The four-strong group were never armed but threatened violence, and subjected some victims to beatings.
Scene: Police forensics teams are pictured at the scene of the botched heist at HSBC in Chandler's Ford in Hampshire in 2007. Hall and McKenzie along with two others targeted a driver delivering money to the branch in September seven years ago
Fatal: Two of the original four-strong gang, Mark Nunes and Andrew Markland, were shot dead by police marksmen at the scene of the raid in 2007
Detective Superintendent Steve Black, of the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit, said: 'They were a sophisticated, organised crime group who operated over a large geographic area and that required a major police operation to try and mitigate that threat.
'It is really important for me to ensure the safety of our communities and those people that deliver essential services in the form of cash in transit delivery staff.
'They were also ruthless in their assaults on the guards, putting them and bystanders in great fear. One elderly man who bravely intervened with his walking stick in the Bath incident was viciously pushed to the ground by one of the attackers, thankfully sustaining only minor head injuries.
'We respect the decision of the court and the sentences give. I am pleased these men are now unable to pose an immediate risk to the public.'
Explaining how officers snared the gang, Det. Supt Black said: 'Working with the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad and police forces across the region, we identified the pattern of these robberies, and it became clear that the same locations were being targeted as before.
'However, the ones involved this time were only six amongst 18 across the whole of the south of England which had been attacked in 2006 and 2007.
'Our operation therefore also had to spread across Suffolk, London, Wiltshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Leicestershire, and involved many long days of patient intelligence gathering and assessment to ensure public safety.
'In the previous series, the robbers had used firearms so we had to be prepared for that eventuality too, and the NCA firearms teams were a vital part of the operation. This time round, the robbers did not carry weapons but that was not clear until they were arrested.'
During the Bath heist, a retired
police officer was shoved to the floor and suffered head injuries when
he tried to stop the robbers.
Police officers closed in on the thieves when teams investigating the robberies discovered they were targetting the same banks as Hall and McKenzie had seven years previously.
Months of surveillance ensued with detectives from the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit finally snaring the men in April 2012.
Hall, 37, from south London, was jailed for six-and-a-half years after admitting conspiracy to commit robbery, and a count of attempted robbery.
McKenzie, 34, also of south London, pleaded guilty to robbery, attempted robbery and conspiracy to rob, and was jailed for six years.
Griffiths, 37, also of south London, was jailed for five-and-a-half years after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob and one charge of attempted robbery.
Francis, 52, of south London, was handed a five-year prison sentence after he was convicted by a jury of conspiracy to commit robbery.
The court heard Francis, who suffers from cancer, had previously been jailed for 10 years in 1997 for shooting a taxi driver in the stomach at point-blank range in the capital.
The thick-set gangsters barely flinched
as the judge handed down their sentences at Winchester Crown Court.
But their relatives sitting in the public gallery wept and clasped their hands to their heads as the jail terms were spelled out.
Mr Recorder Nicholas Atkinson said: 'The gravity of these offences in relation to Mr Hall and Mr McKenzie is
that you are here again for committing very similar offences shortly
after your release (from prison).
'The seriousness of these offences is self-evident.
'You are all part of a conspiracy to commit robberies that involve a number of victims who were subjected to the threat of violence, which is an ingredient of a robbery.
'There is repeat offending and you have planned these robberies operating as a gang.
'You, for example, showed a degree of sophistication in that you
stole vehicles and then abandoned the vehicle after using it as a
getaway vehicle.
'You also wore balaclavas, no doubt to mask your identities, but also to intimidate your victims.'

Almost Home by T.M. McNally
Book DescriptionPatrick, his sister, and his mother have come to Paradise Valley, Arizona, in the bitter aftermath of his father's suicide. As his mother turns to alcohol for solace and his sister finds companionship in the town's wild crowd, Patrick spends lonely days in school and works the graveyard shift at a local gas station. His isolation ends with the arrival of Elizabeth, a talented musician with family problems of her own. The depth of their feelings emerges when a drug-dealing co-worker involves Patrick in a scheme that not only tests his courage but his loyalty -- to his family, to the memory of his father, and to Elizabeth. Almost Home is an engaging exploration of the relationships between coincidence and providence, betrayal and forgiveness, love and salvation.

Grassroots Gardening: Rituals for Sustaining Activism
Nation Books, 2007 - Gardening - 174 pages
In May 2003, Donna Schaper wrote an op-ed for the New York Times, The Heretic in the Hibiscus, that told the story of her rejection from Coral Cables Garden Club because she was too liberal. As it turned out, the ladies of the club feared that she would do what she had done at the Miami church where she was minister, namely bring in blacks and gays to membership and participation. In response to her article, dozens of garden societies across America contacted Schaper, inviting her to join their societies. Schaper argues that people who garden find a ritual way to sustain activism. Dirt touching, seeding, and harvesting rituals keep radicals sane, energetic, and positive. It is more than weeding--and is also just weeding. Many assume gardening is for people with country homes. On the contrary, gardening is a great passion for many progressive, political, communal people. Thus, gardening is a ritual for radicals--for urbans, for nomads, and for anybody who wants to stay sufficiently angry, humble, and hopeful to sustain an activist life.

Hanford Cleanup:
Condition of Tanks May Further Limit DOE's Ability to Respond to Leaks and Intrusions
GAO-15-40: Published: Nov 25, 2014. Publicly Released: Dec 16, 2014.

What GAO Found
From 2012 to 2014, the Department of Energy (DOE) assessed the physical condition of the 177 storage tanks at its Hanford, Washington, site in which it stores about 56 million gallons of nuclear waste and found them to be in worse condition than it assumed in 2011 when developing its schedule for emptying the tanks. For the 149 single-shell tanks (SST), DOE previously pumped nearly all of the liquid waste out of the SSTs into the 28 newer double-shell tanks (DST) to reduce the likelihood of leaks. However, after detecting water intruding into several SSTs, DOE reexamined them all and found that water was intruding into at least 14 SSTs and that 1 of them (T-111) had been actively leaking into the ground since about 2010 at a rate of about 640 gallons annually. Regarding the DSTs, in 2012, DOE discovered a leak from the primary shell in tank AY-102. DOE determined that the leak was likely caused by construction flaws and corrosion in the bottom of the tank. DOE found that 12 DSTs have similar construction flaws but has not determined the extent to which the other 27 DSTs are subject to the same corrosion that likely contributed to the leak in AY-102.
In response to the waste leaks and water intrusion, DOE has taken or planned several actions. For SSTs, DOE conducted additional tank inspections and temporarily increased the frequency of monitoring the tank waste levels from annually or quarterly to monthly. In addition, after finding flaws in its methods to monitor for leaks and intrusions, DOE modified its methods, which it believes may lead to more effective monitoring. For DSTs, DOE increased the frequency (from every 5 to 7 years to every 3 years) and scope of its tank inspections and convened a panel of experts to evaluate existing tank monitoring and inspection procedures. DOE also plans an independent assessment of the integrity of the DSTs (scheduled to be completed no later than 2016).
DOE's current schedule for managing the tank waste does not consider the worsening conditions of the tanks or the delays in the construction of the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP), a facility being constructed to treat the waste and prepare it for final, long-term disposal. First, the leak in AY-102 combined with planned waste transfers from SSTs has reduced the available DST tank storage capacity. Future leaks and intrusions, which become more likely as the tanks' condition worsens, would place additional demands on the already limited DST storage space, and it is unclear how DOE would respond. According to DOE, recent efforts to evaporate some of the water from the waste have already freed up 750,000 gallons of DST space. Second, in March 2014, DOE announced further delays in the construction of the WTP and that these delays will affect the schedule for removing waste from the tanks. However, DOE has not estimated the impact of the WTP delays on its schedule to remove the waste from the tanks. As a result, DOE cannot estimate how long the waste will remain in the aging tanks. Also, DOE officials and members of a 2014 expert panel convened to examine the integrity of the DSTs have said that corrosion is a threat to DST integrity, and, according to the panel, that there are deficiencies in DOE's understanding of corrosion in all of the DSTs. DOE lacks information about the extent to which the other 27 DSTs may also be susceptible to corrosion similar to AY-102. Without determining the extent to which the factors that contributed to the leak in AY-102 were similar to the other 27 DSTs, DOE cannot be sure how long its DSTs can safely store waste.
Why GAO Did This Study
DOE recently reported that nuclear waste is leaking from two of its underground storage tanks (T-111 and AY-102) at Hanford and that water was intruding into AY-102 and other tanks. Also, DOE has been experiencing delays in the construction of the WTP, a collection of facilities that are to treat the tank waste for disposal. These recently reported leaks and intrusions, combined with construction delays, have raised questions among regulators, the public, and Congress about the risks posed by continuing to store waste in the aging tanks.
GAO was asked to report on the tank waste cleanup program. This report examines: (1) the condition of the tanks, (2) actions DOE has taken or planned to respond to the recent tank leaks and water intrusions, and (3) the extent to which DOE's tank management plans consider the condition of the tanks and the delays in completing construction of the WTP. GAO obtained and reviewed relevant reports concerning the leaks, the status of the tanks, and the volumes of waste and available space in the tanks. GAO toured the site and interviewed DOE officials and responsible contractors.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that DOE assess the extent to which other DSTs have corrosion factors similar to AY-102, update its schedule for removing waste from the tanks, and assess the alternatives for creating additional DST space. DOE agreed with this report and its recommendations.
For more information, contact David C. Trimble at (202) 512-3841 or email@example.com.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: As of Nov. 23, 2016, DOE is still working to empty the waste from the leaking tank as required by a 2014 settlement agreement with the State of Washington (scheduled to be complete in March 2017). Once the tank is emptied, DOE plans to assess the cause of the leak and begin to address the recommendation. When we confirm what actions DOE has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: To ensure that DOE's long-term plans for storing waste in the existing SSTs and DSTs at Hanford consider the condition of the tanks and the WTP construction delay, the Secretary of Energy should assess the extent to which the factors that may have led to corrosion in AY-102 are present in any of the other 27 DSTs.
Agency Affected: Department of Energy
Status: Open
Comments: As of Nov. 23, 2016, DOE plans to update its Hanford Site System Plan by October 2017. According to DOE, this update will address the recommendation. When we confirm what actions DOE has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: To ensure that DOE's long-term plans for storing waste in the existing SSTs and DSTs at Hanford consider the condition of the tanks and the WTP construction delay, the Secretary of Energy should update the schedule for retrieving waste from the tanks, taking into consideration (1) the impact of the delays in the WTP, (2) the risks associated with continuing to store waste in aging tanks, and (3) an analysis of available DST space.
Agency Affected: Department of Energy
Status: Open
Comments: As of December 6, 2016, DOE officials indicated that DOE intends to assess the feasibility of new DST construction as part of its update to the Hanford Site System Plan (to be released October 2017). According to DOE, several contingency actions will be included in the scenarios that will be analyzed including new DST construction. When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: To ensure that DOE's long-term plans for storing waste in the existing SSTs and DSTs at Hanford consider the condition of the tanks and the WTP construction delay, the Secretary of Energy should assess the alternatives for creating new RCRA-compliant tank space for the waste from the SSTs, including building new DSTs.

I am sure most people are unaware of this. I had to go and do my yearly registering today and got to talking to the P.O. and she informed me that now in Tennessee if you are convicted of statutory rape there is a good chance you may not have to register or you can ask to be removed of the registry at any time without the waiting period. Of course this depends on the conditions of your crime and your past criminal history. She informed me that if the judge did not order you to register you should not have to register or depending on the situation of your crime you can ask to be removed of the registry for statutory rape. So why is it that this has not made the news? Whenever something is changed that may help out a RSO no one wants to talk or report it. But let a new tougher law pass and everyone is reporting about it. So please post this and check with your P.O to see if you are able to be removed from the shame list......

TN - Registry - You may not have to register, or can asked to be removed?
Labels: Tennessee , UserSubmitted
Location: Tennessee, USA
3 comments :
All true. It's not clear in the law what happens if you move to tn after your registration has expired in another state. Says you have to have registered there for 5 yrs. The most interesting thing you didn't mention is TN is an AWA state, hope more states draft something similar. I would love to leave Ohio sometime but not going back on a registry when I get off in August. 10 yrs is long enough for consensual sex between 2 teens no way in hell doing 15 more by moving or even 5 in TN.
