Dr. Gary Chapman tells us that there are five love languages. These love languages define how we are most inclined to show love. Chapman claims there are five types of people; but for me, it boils down to just two. There are people who like receiving gifts – and those who do not.
I fall quite firmly into the second camp. I do not like presents. I rarely think of giving them, and I am uncomfortable receiving them. My language of love is present-less. Does this sound familiar? Maybe you know someone like me--maybe you are someone like me—and you need to figure out what the heck not-to-buy this holiday season. Thankfully, many intangible gifts are out there, along with a few presents that are not really presents at all.
Give (very) practical gifts – If you have to give a non-gift person a gift, aim for something either practical or edible. Nothing says I love you like natural all-purpose cleaner, a power saving plug, or reusable produce bags. Someone you know will be very excited about a 5-litre pail of household cleaner but do not give practical gifts to someone who likes gifts. She will cry and wonder why you don't like her anymore.
Edible gifts can also work. As your English teacher explained, it is important to know your audience. As a kid who grew up thinking that rice cakes were a treat (the caramel ones kind of are, aren't they?), a box of Fruit Loops under the tree was just about the best thing a girl could get. Today, you may have friends with slightly more refined tastes, but good, thoughtfully chosen food goes a long way when it comes to showing you care.
Spend time together – Time can sometimes feel like the hardest gift to give during this busy season, but it is well worth the effort. Take time to go for a walk, go to the movies, read to a child, go to the symphony … go somewhere or go nowhere, but do it together.
Say something nice – Kind words are a great way to show people you care. Call your grandma just for a chat. Write a long letter to a friend who is having a hard time. Smile and greet the weary store clerk. Say thank you, as you order your cappuccino. Words—spoken with sincerity—never go amiss; they mean so much, cost so little, are crazy easy to wrap, and … most often … words are the gift we forget to give.
There are many ways to show you care this holiday season. It comes down to knowing yourself and the people in your life.
Do Fruit Loops say, "I love you"? They do to me.
That is it for this week. After the holidays, look forward to part two of the great what to do about the fish debate that I left you with last month.

Cassidy made a track over Psy's monster hit "Gangnam Style" encouraging dudes to "stroke em condom style". Immediately after releasing the song, frienemy, Meek Mill, clowned the song on twitter as the worst song in rap history. Days later it looks like Cassidy is the one who gets the last laugh as Trojan has signed Cassidy to an endorsement deal based on the song "Condom Style". File sharing site Hulkshare co-signed the news & even went as far to say it's a seven-figure deal with Trojan. Wooooooowww !! Seven figures !!!! Nice come up for "the worst song in the history of rap" !!!
Looks like Cassidy is winning by going against the grain of what is "popular" these days. I applaud Cassidy for stepping out of the box by putting out a much needed message of protected sex as well as standing firm on his own beliefs.

If you want challenging games, we highly recommend you Reversi, a brain and puzzle application for Android that will definitely have you thinking for a while.
First of all you want to choose if you're playing by yourself or with someone; then select the difficulty level and the starter player before beginning to play. The ultimate goal is to have a majority of your colored pieces showing at the end of the game and turning over as many of the opponent's pieces as you can. The good thing about this application is that you don't need to play with someone online, you can just have your best friend or a member of the family play against you in the same device.
This is not an easy game at all, so if you don't know the instructions we recommend that you read them before playing, otherwise you'll have a hard time trying to understand how it really works. For people who already know the game this app can be very satisfying, although it sometimes moves a bit too slow. Magma Mobile is the creator of this challenging strategic game, have you tried it yet?

Does your business have a bad reputation?

Two years ago, I purchased a Sansa e280r MP3 player from Best Buy. I have really enjoyed the player. Last week, while listening to some MP3 files, the player suddenly stopped working. After recharging the player, I turned the unit on and the unit was frozen. I called technical support, but they informed me that support was only offered by email only.
After a series of emails back and forth, I received the following email: I truly understand where you're coming from however, please note that SanDisk does not sell replacement parts or provide repair services for the Sansa players. Sansa Players are under a One-Year Limited Warranty. If this expires then we can no longer request for the replacement of your device. Unfortunately the device's warranty has expired a year ago. I feel very alienated as a Sandisk customer. I paid almost $200 for this unit 2 years ago, and now Im told you dont provide any type of repair services for the product. This makes me very wary to ever buy another Sandisk product because now I know that once it breaks outside of the warranty, you wont even provide a means for me to get the product repaired. Im almost sure the issue is the firmware needs to be reflashed, and I have offered to send the product in and get the work done at my expense, but the only option I have been given is, to buy another unit.

Kapaun fights off Lolar, Northwest
Kapaun took control early in Tuesday's 73-57 boys basketball win over Northwest, and never let it slip away, no matter how many three-pointers the Grizzlies' Eric Lolar made.
After facing a 12-point deficit at halftime, Lolar hit four three-pointers in the third quarter and helped the Grizzlies cut Kapaun's lead to as little as four. But Kapaun fought off Northwest's attack.
"I feel comfortable now that I started shooting more outside of games. I'm getting my confidence back finally," said Lolar, who finished with 27 points. "I just tried to come out and get my team going, not only shooting, but moving the ball, it just didn't turn out the way I wanted."
Kapaun jumped ahead of Northwest right away, outscoring the Grizzlies 11-3. Lolar made a three-pointer with 2:25 remaining in the first quarter, sparking an 8-3 run for Northwest and cutting Kapaun's lead to three by the end of the period.
Kapaun outscored Northwest 21-12 in the second quarter, with 11 points from Atir Cherne, giving the Crusaders a 12-point lead at halftime.
"Not only did (turnovers) affect us this game, but they've affected us all season," Northwest coach Chris Collins said. "There's been a lot of unforced turnovers. It's not from pressure, it's just from us getting sped up and not valuing the basketball."
Kapaun's offense began to click when Lolar began to hit threes.
"I knew for us to potentially get back into it, I needed to start hitting some shots, because our shots weren't falling," Lolar said.
Kapaun scored six points on a three-point play and a three-point field goal to take a 15-point lead. But Northwest's Cortez Carr put in a layup, then Nick Williams stole the ball to set Tyler Brown up for the three-pointer. Lolar made another three-pointer to cut the deficit to seven.
Forty seconds later, Lolar hit another, and 57 seconds later made his last three-pointer of the period to cut the deficit to four with 2:34 remaining. Kapaun finished the quarter on a 7-4 run, and a seven-point lead.
"This time of year you have to play defense, and at halftime we said we needed to tighten up a lot more, because they're playing possession basketball game, and we don't want to get a shootout with them," Kapaun coach John Cherne said. "We did talk about buckling down, but Eric Lolar did a good job creating space and then finishing shots when he had that space."
Kapaun stopped Northwest's offense in the fourth quarter, starting the period on a 13-2 run, and holding Northwest 1-14 in shooting until Kaleb Cobb scored the second Northwest field goal of the period, with 1:53 remaining.
Braden Hullings led Kapaun with 28 points, while Atir Cherne added 16.
"We needed to push the tempo which we didn't do much of in the first half, but once we got going in the second half, getting the ball for our fast breaks, we really opened the game up," Kapaun's Toby Baxter said.
Northwest: Nicholson 1 0-0 2, Williams 2 1-2 5, Lolar 10 1-2 27, Carr 2 0-3 4, Johnston 3 1-3 8, Brown 1 0-0 3, Darr 0 0-0 0, Carson 1 0-0 2, Cobb 3 0-1 6, Standifer 0 0-0 0, Landenberger 0 0-0 0, Kaufman 0 0-0 0. Totals 23(8) 3-11 57.
Kapaun: Hamilton 2 4-8 8, Hullings 8 10-11 28, Baxter 1 3-5 5, Lickteig 3 1-2 7, Cherne 4 6-7 16, Gross 1 0-0 3, Akao 1 0-0 2, O'Connor 0 0-0 0, Santiago 2 0-0 4, Auer 0 0-0 0, Ewers 0 0-0 0, Dempsey 0 0-0 0. Totals 22(5) 24-33 73.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Just a quick thread to introduce myself and get started, I have decided for my midlife crisis at the age of 44 to take up Triathlons and have signed up for 4 of them, Clitheroe sprint, then the keswick mountain festival one, followed by the Outlaw half and finishing with the Ironman in Bolton. I am now panicking and wondering what I have done!
My mates midlife crisis involves a Russian girlfriend, Harley Davison and weekends away, mine involves lycra, sweating and needing to lose 3 stone, where did I go wrong?
PS, I have tried to upload a picture for my avatar, it isn't working, any suggestions?
Avatars, have to be approved by RW towers, takes a few days, will pop up eventually, there are a few thread for the outlaw half and IMUK so pop in and say hello.
Beyond panic, panic is for wimps, I am sat in a corner weeping!!
Right, so in order, Bike fit done, one day swim course done, gait analysis complete, read 2 books by some CumbrianLancastrian loon that made it sound fun.
Can I shave my legs yet?
No, because thats just odd.
Oh and have a look at the "something no different from last years competition thread"
read the rules, join in and help stay motivated.
You seem to be well on the way Chris, you may as well get the Russian girlfriend too

Another sucker (teehee).. Think the Keswick Festival Tri is the hardest thing I have ever done..... Not sure if the course has changed since the first time it was run, I'll be in the crowd cheering
(Russian g/f sounds fun, where do I sign up ?)
Wibble... wibble.. Keswick Tri, bugger
are you doing Keswick short or long ? I did the long the first year it was run
I am doing the long, all part of prep for the Ironman, I have entered so I have to do it, the bike I can handle and the swim should be ok, but running, up a hill, a foolish idea and one that I will hate but I am sure bouncing down the other side will be fun!
What is the cut off time!!!
I remember getting to the top of Walla Crags and I was wearing just my lycra trisuit, and a member of the Mountain Rescue Team was sat gortex'd up under a brolly and said I'm trying to decide who's mad here.....
I did the Derwentwater swim 2 years ago ( and will this year) when Holg's was a speaker at the festival, and he said he had never seen me more miserable than that day when I staggered out of the lake !
Dave, you are not really selling this to me are you saying that Holgs was frugal with the truth in his book
I am looking forward to the training, eating well, losing weight, doing the events then getting a bit tipsy a week after the ironman, no beer till August...
Chris68 wrote (see)
Dave, you are not really selling this to me are you saying that Holgs was frugal with the truth in his book
Well anyone who can sell the idea that Viking is the love child of George Clooney and Nicole Kidman has to be suspect !!!
See you in Keswick in May
Damn Holgs I believed everything in there.
Sounds like a brave plan Chris, an IM in year one. Should be fun.
Enjoy yourself and remember beer is one of the major foodstuffs and you won't go far wrong.
Ran from Keswick round Derwentwater this morning.. The lake looked far too cold to swim in it tho

#1 Apr 3, 2008
Glad I stay at home now..........sorry for your loss.
#2 Apr 3, 2008
that is terrible! just such sad news to hear. my heart goes out to the family of the infant.
#3 Apr 3, 2008
Let's not jump to conclusions. There are no answers, only questions.
#4 Apr 3, 2008
The headline should have read:
Another child dies at a daycare facility.
I am not saying that the daycare provider was at fault. I won't go there. But how many more children have to die at daycares before parents start staying home and taking care of their own kids?
#5 Apr 3, 2008
Yes it is a sad story. But I'd be willing to bet (assuming the child had two parents) that the mother would rather have been home w\ the child. However in this day and age it's hard. Sometimes people are too caught up in the lifestyle to have to give up anything. Sometimes it just takes both of them to put food on the table and roof over their heads.
#6 Apr 3, 2008
When one doesn't have to work to survive and provide for her children!! I would love to stay at home with my children, however I am a single mother so I have to work and there are many out there just like me. Not all daycares are bad. My sister is a daycare provider and a mother of 3 and she would never let anything bad happen at her daycare and I also know that where she lives the state inspectors are on top of things. She does not fall through the cracks with anything. One can't always fault the the daycare provider.
#7 Apr 3, 2008
May I ask what do you suggest parents do with their children when both mom and dad have to work? Not everyone can have one parent stay home.Not everyone has a relative or a friend that can watch their children. Money is very tight in most homes these days. I think the state needs to inspect and monetor centers alot closer than what they are. It seems as if they are only finfing these violations AFTER a child has died. This is the second case in only a few months. Very, very sad. There are way too many violations in these centers nd these are only the centers that are being brought to light.There are many, many wonderful daycares out there that follow the rules and run daycare for the right reasons, you just have to do your research.
#8 Apr 3, 2008
I agree. I ran a daycare too and I had a great inspector. But it seems as thought something is lacking lately. Too many violations...being noticed too late.I don't think that in either of these recent cases the violations really had anything to do with the deaths...but still the violations are still there and they should not be.
#9 Apr 3, 2008
Also what is sad is that the violations that they are being sighted for may be very minor and have nothing to do with the childs death in anyway, the state just has to protect their butt now. That is also sad too. It makes these daycares look like they are bad, when really the state needs to get off there butt and monitor these daycares more efficiently.
#10 Apr 3, 2008
I totally agree with you.
#11 Apr 3, 2008
But until then, what do you do? You place your kids in daycare knowing that they are not regulated enough to be considered safe. You are pretty much placing your child at the mercy of the state.
I honestly think that there are plenty of other options for families who need two incomes. All it takes is some research. Don't paint yourselves into a corner by telling yourselves that you HAVE to work outside the home. Doing that only limits your possibilities.
#12 Apr 3, 2008
And what do you want the single moms or divorced moms or dads to do?? Live on welfare?? I put myself through nursing school to be able to give my son a good life and so I didn't have to live off welfare for the rest of my life!! Some people don't have the luxury to stay home. I would have loved to stay home with my child, but it was not an option. Thank god I had a wonderful babysitter!! And today I still have a wonderful daycare provider. I feel very comfortable dropping my daughter off there!! Do I like leaving her...no!! But I know that she is safe and she is with other children whose parents are in the same situation.
#13 Apr 3, 2008
How sad to hear of another child who died. My heart goes out to the family and everyone who loved this child.
We have no facts in this case, except for the fact that their are violations. Isn't it funny that these violations are found after a child's death. The State better get on the ball!
#14 Apr 3, 2008
Single moms can do it, too. As I said, it just takes some effort and some research.
Jill Cooper and Tawra Kellam are frugal living experts and the editors of www.LivingOnADime.com . As a single mother of two, Jill Cooper started her own business without any capital and paid off $35,000 debt in 5 years on $1,000 a month income. Tawra and her husband paid off $20,000 debt in 5 years on $22,000 a year income.
If you want more examples, I can find them. And so can you. If you really wish you could stay at home, you can accept the premise that you can make it happen. You must be able to figure out something that you can do with your nursing skills that will enable you to set your own hours and be at home with your children.
#15 Apr 3, 2008
My heart goes out to this family.
As someone that has done daycare in the past and know other that have also I have a suggestion to parents w/ kids in daycare:
1)Be the one to not rely on the state to check on your daycare. Know the rules and look around yourself. The daycare provider almost always knows when the state will check on them.
2)Visit your daycare unexpectedly, like on your lunch break when possible, have your spouse do this also. Perhaps a grandparent or Aunt can stop in and take your toddler to lunch and peak in. Of course they would have to be on a list to be able to do this and the daycare should contact you.
3)The house is ALWAYS SOOOOO clean? ask yourself "if this person is spending time with your child or cleaning all day?"
It is nice that you leave your kids in a clean envirnment but if it's always to picked up, to clean, it can be questionable for up to 6 kids in their care.
#16 Apr 3, 2008
because it's every woman's dream to give up her career to have children. just because you have kids does not mean you want to stay at home with them. having children in today's overpopulated world is selfish and narcissistic. shame on all of you for overpopulating the world more. it's called birth control.
#18 Apr 3, 2008
I take care of my children. There is nothing selfish about it. Sorry you feel the way you do.....
#19 Apr 3, 2008
So your answwer is....A PYRAMID SCHEME. I see. No thank you. I help my parents run a family business and have for the past 7 years. There is nothing wrong with working outside the home. If everyone stayed at home with their children this world would stop.think about it!?It is impossible. Everyone has a choice to make for their family, they do the best they can. There are some wonderful daycares out there...parents just need to do their research and check up on the daycares.

#20 Apr 3, 2008
Unfortunatley Moms have to be very carefull with daycare. My children were in daycare at a home from 1998 till 2006. My older child discovered some horrible things going on. I know stay home and thank god I am able to. I know not all people can. My advise is to try a facility and if using a home daycare make randoms check ins. These daycare homes need to be reviewed better. Those who oversee them should do a better job.
#21 Apr 3, 2008
Sometimes you have no choice. I am a single father of 2. I researched, hope, and pray I picked the right person/center to place my children. This is a tragity and nothing should take away from that. I am sure the parents of that child feel enough guilt... I know I would...

When the Order of Sons of Norway first began, the first step to form an organization took place on January 6, 1895. A group of Norwegian emigrants, many of whom had come from the Trondheim and Selbu areas, forming a colony in the northern part of the city, met at 2029 Washington Ave. in Minneapolis, MN. There were eighteen men present, with Mr. James Peterson presiding. All the men present were enthusiastic about forming a permanent society that would provide assistance for members in case of illness, as well as providing a social life. "The Founders recalled the group assistance plan about which some of them knew from Trondheim where members paid a small amount each week and in return received free medical care for themselves and their families. It was in this spirit of real necessity that Sons of Norway was founded as a mutual assistance society, one built on the moral principles of American fraternalism." (Strom)
At the January meeting, the name Sons of Norway ("Sønner av Norge") was adopted. The original charter members include:
* President E.O. Rognaas was born in Valdres in 1855. He came to Mpls in 1869. He operated a hardware store on W. Broadway Ave.
* Vice President James Peterson was born in 1850 in Selbu. He came to Mpls in 1887. He operated a saloon with Lewis J. Stokke on the first floor of the building at 2029 Washington Ave. No.
* Secretary Bersvend Draxten was born in 1866 in Selbu. He came to Mpls in 1867. He was employed in a local lumber mill. Mr. Draxten became the first Supreme President of the Order and officiated as installing officer of the Supreme Lodge Convention at the 50th Anniversary Celebration in 1944.
* Treasurer Lewis J. Stokke was born in 1857 in Selbu.
* Doorkeeper Peder G. Balstad was born in Selbu in 1865 and came here in 1866. He worked in a local lumbar yard.
* Ole Russet was born in Selbu in 1872. He came here in 1882 and operated a grocery store at 24th and Washington with his brother Peter.
* John O. Stokke was born in 1860 in Selbu. He came to the U.S. in 1881 and to Mpls in 1882. He was employed as a laborer at Smith Lumber Co. and also operated a rooming house for mill workers. He later purchased James Peterson's interest in the saloon. He is of no relation to Lewis Stokke.
* Eskild and Ludvig Pedersen, brothers from Trondheim (1866, 1871). They arrived here with their cousin Peder Larsen. Both brothers Local planing mill.
* Peder Larsen, also from Trondheim, was born in 1866. He was a farmer near Mille Lacs.
* Knut Rasmussen came from Orkdahl, near Tronheim. He was born in 1856 and came to Mpls in 1880. He was employed in a saw mill.
* Anton and Peter Johnson, brothers , were natives of Trondheim. They were born in 1867 and 1860, respectively. Peter arrived in Mpls in 1887 and Anton in 1891. Both men were employed in a local lumber mill.
* Ole Lodgaard was born in Trondheim and came here in the late 1880's. He was in the saloon business.
* Einar Dramdahl came from Oslo, but remained in Mpls only for a short time after Sons of Norway was organized.
* John S. Johnson was born in 1859 in Bergen. He arrived in Mpls in 1884. He was in the meat market business on the north side of town.
* E.M. Wold was a painter by trade.
* Edvard Larsen came from the Trondheim area. He returned to Norway the same year Sons of Norway was organized.
"To qualify for membership, one had to be male, either Norwegian or of Norwegian descent, give proof of being morally upright, in good health, capable of supporting a family, at least 20 years old and no more than 50." (Strom) At the end of the first year of the Order, membership had increased to 81 members. At the end of the second year, membership totaled 116, including members from north and south Minneapolis. The Daughters of Norway, a sister society began on March 31, 1897. Most of the wives of the Founders of Sons of Norway became Founders of the Daughters of Norway.
With the popularity of the society increasing, it was deemed advisable to incorporate the society in order to establish subordinate lodges. On June 22, 1898, the society was chartered under Minnesota laws as "The Independent Order of Sons of Norway". The articles set forth as the purpose of the Order were: To gather Norwegians around their ancestral heritage of history, language and other cultural arts; To assist one another in sickness and need; To furnish opportunities for sociability.
A special committee was formed to recruit members for additional lodges, and subsequently many lodges, both here and abroad have been formed.

I'm A Basket Case
by Colleen Moulding
Okay, I confess, I love baskets. I think they are just the prettiest things and so useful around the home. I keep vegetables in baskets, shells and bathroom toiletries in baskets, socks, remote controls, washing, toys, pens, plants - you name it there's a basket somewhere that's just right to store it in. They aren't expensive either. If you keep your eyes open you can find quite a variety at dollar stores or pound shops and charity or second hand shops usually have a selection too. I have found that Summer Fayre's or table sales raising money for hospitals or residential homes for the elderly yield lots of baskets, as they often contain gifts of plants or flowers and are discarded afterwards.
Don't be afraid to wash your basketware. I regularly completely immerse baskets in warm soapy water, and even scrub them, before rinsing well and pegging them on to the washing line or placing them in the sun to dry. If you can't dry them outside, shake them well and leave them on a towel in a warm place. This only applies to inexpensive everyday basketware of course, for antique baskets, rare or cherished family pieces, dust off with a soft brush, or vacuum with a piece of a pair of old tights stretched over the nozzle.
Once clean, they have a thousand uses. Trim a piece of plastic or polythene to fit inside a basket and it is the perfect home for any type of indoor plant. Just pop the plastic pot into the basket. In fact a table filled with foliage and flowering plants in an array of different baskets interspersed with some coloured glass or pretty china can be a simple and inexpensive way to create a beautiful focal point in a conservatory or garden room.
Baskets in the kitchen can display fruit and vegetables, store cutlery, bread, eggs, tea towels and a million and one other items. You can also paint them to go with your room scheme, decorate them with silk or dried flowers attached with a glue gun, or hang them as decorations mixed with drying herbs and pretty jugs for a homely country look.
Magazines can be a storage problem but flat baskets contain them in a stylish way. I do admit to a failure here though. I once decided to store some of my home decorating magazines in a tall wicker basket thinking it was a great looking storage solution, until guests kept throwing their litter in with them! I know when to admit defeat!
Collecting baskets whenever you see them throughout the year can also solve lots of gift problems when Christmas rolls around. Fill them will bits and pieces that you know the recipient will love, such as, gardening gloves, seeds, plant labels and a trowel or a video, popcorn and cans of cola or cups and saucers and chocolate dipped spoons. Wrap the whole thing up in cellophane, decorate with ribbon and voila - personalized Christmas gifts to go.
In a wardrobe or closet, baskets can help you to get organized. Really large baskets can hold shoes, smaller ones are ideal for scarves, belts, gloves, folded tee shirts, jumpers or underwear. Even bathrooms can benefit from baskets. They can hold spare loo rolls or soaps, rolled up towels, face cloths or displays of shells, pebbles, driftwood and shore treasures.
In children's rooms they can hold small toys, hair decorations, socks and underwear, craft supplies, jewelry, books and collections of anything that will clutter up the place if not gathered together.
Whatever your storage problem somewhere there is a basket that will solve it for you. Happy basket hunting!

Protesters Prepare For Saturday's Antiwar Demonstration
Protesters prepare for Saturday's antiwar demonstration
By Michael E. Ruane, Staff Writer | Washington Post
Maggie Pondolfino has a 24-year-old son who is a soldier serving in Afghanistan -- "he's honorable, courageous, has a lot of integrity and he loves his mother," she said.
Which is why, in part, she said she will be marching in an antiwar demonstration Saturday to bring him and other soldiers home from what protesters Thursday called America's "illegal war for empire."
The protest, against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, will begin with a noon rally in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House. The march will follow.
Organizers said at a news conference Thursday that the Afghanistan conflict has become "Obama's war." They criticized the continued fighting there and in Iraq, and said the president's war policies were just like former President George W. Bush's. Read more.

Although protest demonstrations aren't likely to cause the ruling elite to stop the wars, etcetera, at least the protesters the Wa. Post article is about realise what the wars are for, empire, and that they're illegal, hence criminal. And it's good that these protesters will be protesting against the war in Afghanistan and the continuing one on Iraq.
While the war on Iraq doesn't have bombings, etcetera, by the U.S. like years ago and as continues to be going on in Afghanistan, and Pakistan, the war on Iraq nevertheless continues; just that it's at a less intense scale than it was years ago. It's continuing genocide and to commit this is to commit war on the population of Iraq.
"The New 'Forgotten' War: Iraq Occupation Falls Into Media Shadows
by Dahr Jamail, Extra!, Fair.org, March 16, 2010, originally March 15th
It's not just a matter of the U.S. occupying Iraq and Dahr Jamail's article provides a clear enough picture of this. It's continuing [genocide] and military bombings aren't required to wage war on a population. Wars can also be conducted with the use of military forces. It's just that some people prefer to be overly narrow in their use of the term "war", restricting it to solely when military might is used. The U.S.-led and maintained coup d'etat against the Haitian population and their democratically (strongly too) elected government was an act of war and is a continuing act of war, because the coup d'etat is imperialistically, ... and criminally maintained.
(I try to be reasonably flexible with terminology, instead of being narrow-minded or pointy-headed. Broader or more flexible thinking permits acquiring fuller understanding.)
The war on Iraq is not over until the U.S. fully withdraws, but unlike what the Wa. Post article says about the protesters, not only U.S. military forces need to be withdrawn. Contractors also need to be withdrawn. [All] foreign presence in support of the wars must be withdrawn!
I think an analogy might be found in what former CIA operations or region chief John Stockwell has described about Operation Phoenix, or I think it was him anyway. If I'm recalling this correctly, then there wasn't much, if any, overt U.S. military involvement in this operation; an operation that was evil, hellishly criminal.
All foreigners in support of the U.S. in these wars must be withdrawn, and I don't mean only U.S. military and contractors, but also military forces and contractors from other countries, as well.
Once that happens, if it ever does, within our lifetimes anyway, then war crimes trials, real ones, need to be held; but I can't begin to even guess when this might possibly happen. Maybe it never will. Probably, it never won't. But it should happen, some day, and the sooner that day arrives, the better. It'd be a GREAT day, but first the forces, military and contractor, need to be withdrawn; and this seems like "mission impossible".

Samantha JadeView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Perth-born singer/songwriter Samantha Jade had already retired as a successful model in Australia when she made her worldwide pop music debut at the age of 16. Modeling began at age four; being bitten by the music bug came at age nine when Samantha won her first talent show singing "Amazing Grace." Writing music soon became a passion, and by 2004 when she was just 16 she landed her song "Secret Love" on the Shark Tale soundtrack. The song was performed by teen pop star JoJo, but it wasn't long before Jade's powerful singing voice would be featured on another soundtrack, 2006's Step Up, which put the now 18-year-old singer in the company of Ciara, Kelis, and Sean Paul. Jade's track, also titled "Step Up," was written in part by superstar songwriter Diane Warren and produced by Wyclef Jean. The Jive record company used the catchy single to promote Jade's own full-length debut, which was promised for later in the year. ~ David Jeffries

Anyways, as long as those shops on ebay have good reviews, I would go for it.

Re: PS3 YLOD Reballing Service
I actually gave gophermods a call before buying daggerPCs service. Anyways gophermods told me it would be 6 months to a year before their reball service would be available. So until then daggerPC is our best bet as of right now.
Re: PS3 YLOD Reballing Service
So is gophermods $70.00 YLOD fix just a reflow of the solder then since there reballing service is listed at $139 but not yet available?
Im curious as to the succes rate of there current fix & whats the longest a system has lasted after they did the fix. Although im sure no ps3 is gonna last the same amount of time.

Re: PS3 YLOD Reballing Service
I just got the YLOD and i am quite certain that all those frozen screens in FALLOUT NEW VEGAS had something to do with it cause they force me to turn off my ps3. I dont live in the US so the only thing i can do is use my ps3 as a door stopper cause it is quite heavy.....meh actually going to take it today to my local store...they repair ps3 there cause if i send it to sony buying a new console would end up being cheaper
Re: PS3 YLOD Reballing Service

Re: PS3 YLOD Reballing Service
Re: PS3 YLOD Reballing Service
I spoke with branden last night he has had some things going on with sick family members and dropped his phone in some eggnog so he just got a new phone yesterday and is trying to catch up with all of the messages he is not trying to scam anyone. Look at it this way he got in 100 ps3s to repair in like 3 weeks that's not accounting for his local customers and his bulbs burnt out and probably 35-50% of those 100 have had previous reflows done on them making a reball less successful. So yeah it took a little more time than the 3 weeks but if he had to order a motherboard for your system he was at the mercy of the other seller getting it to him quickly. He also said he had an employee that was supposed to answer email and eBay messages as he was busy trying to fix systems and that he would only answer email that said employee could not.

Gagne, Beltre will command big bucks
What has a better chance of happening: The Dodgers sign Carlos Beltran, or the Dodgers sign Carlos Delgado?
-- Jay
Los Angeles
Let's start with an inventory of the Dodgers' in-house business this winter. They'd like to work out long-term contracts with third baseman Adrian Beltre and closer Eric Gagne, who'll be in for the mother of all arbitration hearings if he doesn't sign a multiyear deal. Beltre and Gagne are both represented by agent Scott Boras, who also represents Carlos Beltran. Boras has already designated Beltre and Beltran as "special'' players -- which is code for, "Be prepared to pay a ton'' -- so it's tough to see both of them in Dodger uniforms next season.

One of the undoubted highlights of my Test career for Australia has been the opportunity to play in the same team as our leg-spinning magician Shane Warne.
One of Australia's greatest ever batsmen, Arthur Morris, often says that all people ever want to hear about when he talks about his Test career is what it was like to play with Sir Donald Bradman.
He often jokes that while he would be quite happy to re-tell stories of his own career milestones, no-one really wants to hear about anything other than the greatest batsman of them all, The Don.
In 10, 20, 30 years from now, it won't surprise me if my time isn't spent talking about Shane Warne, who became in Cairns the joint world record holder with 527 Test wickets.
In many ways it was a shame he couldn't go one better than his spinning rival Muttiah Muralitharan, but then it is also adds to the spice of their continued race for bowling supremacy.
In what turned out to be a fantastic Test match, bad light may have robbed us of the opportunity to win our fifth consecutive Test against Sri Lanka.
As the light faded so did our chance to use the new ball at the Sri Lankan tail.
Despite that, the drama in the last few overs was wonderful to be a part of.
With the sun setting over the rainforest hills, Shane was bowling to the adoring chants of the Cairns public, hungry to witness a new world record.
Dark clouds and a magical sky acted as the backdrop as our entire team crowded close to the bats of Nuwan Zoysa and Chaminda Vaas.
After bowling 35 straight overs, our champion hadn't lost any of his energy.
Standing at second slip to Shane Warne is one of the wonders of playing the game. From there you have one of the best seats in the house for witnessing cricket poetry from the master of leg-spin bowling.
Even though we weren't able to take the final two Sri Lankan wickets, the experience of being in the same arena with Warney at his best will be enough to conjure up great stories in later years for my grandkids or anyone else who wants to hear tales of this era of Australian cricket.
Regardless of what happens in the future, it is fitting to see Shane experiencing the accolades of this world record.
Sure Murali may play for longer and take more wickets down the track but I think Warney is sitting on his rightful throne today as he is as good a player as I have ever seen.
Hot on the heels of all-time great players is my opening partner Matthew Hayden who, with two centuries in this match, has now notched up 20 Test hundreds.
He is an amazing player and I am privileged to stand at the other end. His power, strength and composure at the crease must be heart breaking for all opposition bowlers.
One of the reasons we heard that Murali might not have played these last two Tests was that he was disappointed that his team were only playing Test matches in outback Australia.
In the next few days he might find out from his team-mates that he actually missed out on a sensational Test series experience.
The ground and facilites in Cairns were quite simply world-class. You would go a long way to find better anywhere in the world.
Winter Test cricket in Australia has certainly taken huge steps forward over the last few weeks. Whether it becomes a regular event remains to be seen.
One thing is for sure - it won't be from a lack of interest or facilities in the 'top end' to ensure its success in the future.
From Cairns,

Humanitarian. National threat. In 1971, after the breakup of the Beatles, John Lennon and Yoko Ono moved to New York, where they became increasingly visible figures on the antiwar left. Lennon and Ono's involvement in a benefit concert for an imprisoned activist in Ann Arbor, Mich. made national news, and drew Lennon and Ono into the orbit of prominent anti-war activists, and of presidential candidate George McGovern.

Strom Thurmond suggesting that Lennon's career as an antiwar celebrity spokesman could be derailed by revoking his temporary visa and getting him deported to England. This documentary looks at that right-wing attempt to have John Lennon deported as an "undesirable alien," and his long battle with immigration authorities.

2011 Michigan Athletes of the Year
Kellen Russell, University of Michigan Wrestler
Senior/junior Kellen Russell completed a perfect season in 2010-11, posting a flawless 38-0 record en route to the 141-pound NCAA individual title. He was one of only five wrestlers nationally to go undefeated and was the lone Big Ten Conference performer to accomplish the feat.
The Wolverine captain, who did not compete last season due to injury, became the 21st NCAA champion in Michigan program history with a 3-2 decision over Cal Poly's Boris Novachkov in the championship finale at the NCAA Tournament. Fighting through a second-period ankle injury, Russell scored the winning takedown out of a late scramble with 20 seconds remaining in regulation. The victory netted Russell his second All-America citation at 141 pounds; he placed seventh as a sophomore (2009).
A native of High Bridge, N.J., Russell achieved his undefeated season against a particularly tough field at 141 pounds. He won eight of his last 12 matches either in overtime or by less than two points, including back-to-back tiebreaker decisions in the NCAA quarterfinals and semifinals. Over the stretch, Russell wrestled eight matches against top-10 opponents and five matches against top-five competition.
Russell captured his third Big Ten 141-pound title with an 8-4 decision over Minnesota's Mike Thorn in the 2011 championship match. He is the 10th U-M wrestler in program history to claim three conference titles. He also won individual tournament crowns at the prestigious Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational and Southern Scuffle events.
A physical education major, Russell was the named the U-M's 2011 recipient of the Cliff Keen Most Outstanding Wrestler and Steve Fraser Mental Toughness awards.
In 2011, Russell became the eighth Wolverine wrestler to post a perfect season en route to an NCAA title and the second in three seasons, joining Steve Luke (2006-09), who went 35-0 and claimed the NCAA 174-pound title in 2009. Through his three collegiate seasons, Russell boasts a 101-11 career record, and his career winning percentage of .902 ranks as the fourth best in U-M program history.
Adding his win in the 2009 NCAA seventh-place match, Russell has won 39 straight matches, the program's third-longest streak.
Kylee Botterman, University of Michigan Women's Gymnast
A senior captain from New Lenox, Ill., Kylee Botterman won the 2011 AAI Award (equivalent to the Heisman Trophy) as the nation's top senior student-athlete in NCAA Division I women's gymnastics. She was a finalist for the Honda Sports Award for gymnastics and is currently a candidate for the NCAA Woman of the Year award.
Botterman led Michigan into the NCAA's Super 6 competition for the first time in seven years after winning the NCAA all-around title with a score of 39.575, and earning four All-America awards. In addition to the all-round title, she was a All-American first teamer on the vault, beam and floor exercise, finishing runner-up on floor with a 9.900 score.
Botterman led the Wolverines to the 2011 NCAA Ann Arbor Regional championship with a 39.500 score to capture the all-around title and won her third straight floor exercise title with a 9.925 score. She was also runner-up on vault, fourth on beam and fifth on bars. Botterman was selected as the NCAA Northeast Region Gymnast of the Year for her performance in the championship.
In 2011, Botterman led the Wolverines to their fifth consecutive Big Ten title. She was named the Big Ten Gymnast of the Year after winning the all-around crown. Botterman won the floor (9.950), was runner-up on beam and placed fourth on vault. She earned All-Big Ten first team for her effort during the season. In addition, Botterman earned Academic All-Big Ten.
Overall, Botterman won the all-around title in 12 meets during the season and won Big Ten Gymnast of the Week a record-tying five times. She also shared the team's Most Valuable Performer Award, her third straight.
Botterman graduated from Michigan with a general studies major from the College of Literature, Science and the Arts in April 2011.
She finished her career as a nine-time All-American (seven first-team citations, two second-team citations). Botterman was a two-time NCAA Regional all-around champion and three-time floor exercise champion. She earned All-Big Ten first team accolades all four years and earned conference Gymnast of the Week seven times over of her final two seasons.
Botterman graduated with the second-best single-season all-around average (49.500), second-best beam average (9.853), fourth-best floor average (9.893) and seventh-best vault average (9.807) in program history. She is seventh all-time in school history with 33 all-around scores of 39.000 or greater.
Sam Mikulak, University of Michigan Men's Gymnast
Sam Mikulak, a freshman gymnast from Corona Del Mar, Calif., was the 2011 NCAA all-around champion, becoming the first freshman in the history of the sport to accomplish the feat. A four-time All-American in his rookie season, he is the second straight Wolverine to win the national all-around competition (and third in school history), following Chris Cameron in 2010.
Mikulak was the Big Ten Conference's best gymnast during the 2011 season, leading the Wolverines to a second-place finish at the Big Ten Championships. There, Mikulak was the Big Ten all-around champion -- the first freshman to win the all-around competition since 1994 -- claiming third on vault (16.20), fourth on parallel bars (14.60), fifth on high bar (13.95) and 10th on pommel horse (11.40). He was named the 2011 Big Ten Gymnast of the Year and the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, en route to All-Big Ten first team honors.
Prior to his all-around performance at the Big Ten meet, Mikulak competed in every event only twice during the regular season: March 12 against Oklahoma (87.35, second place) and March 19 against Ohio State (87.05, first place). Additionally, Mikulak was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week four times during the regular season.
His best gymnastics came at the NCAA Championships, where he helped lead the Wolverines to a fifth-place finish as a team. Mikulak set a career high in the all-around (90.75), earning a bronze medal on floor exercise (15.70), as well as placing fourth on parallel bars (14.70) and seventh on the vault (15.50). In all, Mikulak earned four All-America citations for his performances at the meet, claiming the honor in the all-around competition, as well as on floor exercise, vault and parallel bars. He is also the first Wolverine since Scott Vetere in 2001 (and third in program history) to receive four All-America honors in the same season.
Mikulak won 12 events during the 2011 season: four on vault, three in all-around competition, twice on floor exercise, and one each on pommel horse, parallel bars and high bar.

Quake horror revisited

The city centre of Gunung Sitoli on Nias Island lies in ruins after a powerful earthquake hit Indonesia late on Monday.
Photo: AP
More than 1000 people are feared dead after a massive undersea earthquake off Indonesia, which triggered panic across large areas of Asia hit just months ago by the catastrophic Boxing Day tsunami.
The earthquake, measuring 8.7 on the Richter scale, struck early yesterday off the west coast of Sumatra, between the islands of Nias and Simeulue.
Up to 80 per cent of the buildings in the Nias capital, Gunung Sitoli, were reported to be damaged and thousands of people were feared dead or trapped under rubble.
Rescuers had recovered 330 bodies from the wreckage on Nias by last night, and an Indonesian disaster agency spokesman said the island's death toll was likely to rise.
On Simeulue, a disaster task force had reportedly counted at least 100 dead.
Earlier, Indonesian Vice-President Jusuf Kalla gave a "rough estimate" of 1000 to 2000 dead from the quake.
Aid flights only began reaching Nias late yesterday after bad weather, a damaged airport and heavy cloud cover kept planes from landing.
Relief workers from international aid group Oxfam said roads on the island had collapsed and water and electricity supplies had been cut off. "Bodies are being pulled from the rubble as I speak," said Alessandra Villas-Boas, a member of Oxfam's assessment team.
Two United Nations helicopters evacuated the first of the injured from Nias to hospital in Sumatran city of Sibolga last night. Survivors described how they were trapped by falling rubble as the giant quake struck while they slept.
"Part of the roof fell on me and I was trapped for several hours along with two of my high school mates," said 20-year-old Serasi Hulu, who had a broken arm and fingers. "I believe they may already have died."
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono declared a state of emergency in the affected region. He postponed his state visit to Australia, due to start today, so he could travel to Nias and Simeulue.
Part of the roof fell on me and I was trapped with two of my high school mates. I believe they died.
The Australian Government pledged $1 million in aid and ordered the hospital and transport ship HMAS Kanimbla to turn back to Indonesia on an earthquake assistance mission. A five-member Australian medical team that had been working in Banda Aceh was also due to arrive at Nias early today.
Australian officials last night were trying establish whether any Australians had been caught in the disaster. Concerns were expressed earlier about Australians staying at Nias, a popular adventure destination for surfers.
The quake, the seventh biggest recorded in the world in the past century, occurred on the same faultline as the larger December 26 quake that triggered a tsunami and left almost 300,000 people dead across Asia.
The latest quake struck at 11.06pm local time on Monday (2.06am yesterday Melbourne time) 35 kilometres below the seabed and about 160 kilometres from the epicentre of the Boxing Day quake.
In contrast to three months ago, when Asian nations were not part of a warning network, the tsunami risk from yesterday's quake was immediately relayed across the region. This sparked terror and panic in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and coastal parts of India, Malaysia and Thailand, the areas devastated by the December tsunami.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre in Hawaii s aid the quake had the potential to cause a "widely destructive tsunami" and that authorities should evacuate coastlines within 1000 kilometres of the epicentre.
Police, soldiers, monks, fishermen and residents of coastal areas across the Indian Ocean used megaphones, radio, telephones and temple bells to warn of the possibility of another tsunami.
Almost the entire surviving population of Banda Aceh - the regional Indonesian capital levelled on December 26 - reportedly fled for higher ground or the sanctuary of mosques.
In Sri Lanka, two people were reported killed during a panicky evacuation from the coast in a Tamil rebel-held area, authorities said.
On the tsunami-devastated Thai island of Koh Phi Phi, bars emptied as word of a major earthquake spread by phone and word of mouth.
But well before dawn, the alerts had been cancelled.
Experts said the quake did trigger a tsunami, but it was small and headed south into the middle of the Indian Ocean.
The quake was felt as far away as Malaysia, where residents fled shaking apartments and hotels. "I was getting ready for bed, and suddenly, the room started shaking," said Kuala Lumpur resident Jessie Chong.

Reports: Road rage led to post Broncos game stabbing
DENVER - Three men were stabbed in a parking lot at Sports Authority Field at Mile High after the Denver Broncos game Thursday night (12/12/13).
On Friday, Denver Police said a road rage incident apparently led to the violence. "It doesn't appear that this was related to the outcome of the game," Denver police Sgt. Steve Warneke told KMGH. "It appears that this stems from a traffic altercation in which the suspects were backing out of a parking space and nearly struck the victim's vehicle."
Three men were arrested following the stabbing. KMGH reports that two of the men were released. The third, Justin Manzanares, 29, was arrested for investigation of three counts of aggravated assault.
Everyone who was stabbed is expected to survive.
The Broncos lost to the San Diego Chargers 27-20.

Unemployment Rate Slides To Near 4-Year Low
The latest jobs report shows a big drop in the unemployment rate, falling to a level not seen since President Obama took office.
FOX News Radio's Jared Halpern explains how it happened:
Audio clip:
The unemployment rate now sits at 7.8%. The first time in nearly four years it's been below the 8% threshold, and down from 8.1% percent last month.
The Labor Department says the number of people surveyed who now say they are working jumped by 873,000 last month, a huge surge from previous reports.
A separate survey of employers finds 114,000 jobs were created in September. And in the two months prior, 86,000 more jobs were created than first estimated.
All that accounts for the sharp decline in the unemployment rate. Still, the Labor Department notes many of those newly created jobs are part-time.
In Washington, Jared Halpern, FOX News Radio.
On Main Street, there's mixed reaction to the government's latest jobs report.
FOX News Radio's Jennifer Keiper reports from Madison, Wisconsin:
Audio clip:
Tell folks here in Madison that the unemployment rate has dipped to 7.8% from 8.1% and their response?
(Resident) "Yeah right, that's my comment to that."
(Resident) "It sounds right. It's a lot more people that's working that I've seen, or that I've talked to. Before, it was much harder to find jobs."
(Resident) "That's kind of what mostly matters to me is, you know, friends and family that still can't find a job. So, the numbers don't mean much to me."
One woman says to help her adult son find a job, she's helped him re-work his resume and has conducted mock interviews with him.

Eastern Christchurch's Avonside Girls High and Shirley Boys High are to be relocated to a new shared site following a review of the quake-shattered city's secondary schools.
Education Minister Hekia Parata said the decision was made following an extensive consultation process.
"All Christchurch secondary schools will remain open because the schools are well located and provide good access for students" she said.
However, Avonside Girls High School and Shirley Boys High School which suffered significant land damage would be relocated to a new shared site in eastern Christchurch which officials were now working to identify.
Ms Parata said the consultation process involved all Christchurch secondary principals and included feedback from 120 students which contributed to "a vision for secondary education in greater Christchurch".
"This Government welcomes this collaborative approach to the secondary school network in Christchurch which has seen extensive change due to the earthquakes", she said.
The Government would spend $400 million on the project to rejig the city's secondary schools.
"In making these decisions, I am mindful families in greater Christchurch have already been through a lot and I expect that today's announcement will provide some certainty for parents and their children", Ms Parata said.
"We have a chance to build brighter, more modern schools in better locations, with great new facilities, and to ensure all children are getting access to good, quality education."

Rated 2 out of 5 by nonicknamesleft from The best feature is the reversible neckline. I bought 4 of these! I loved the feel of the fabric and the reversible neckline, BUT it twists on me all day long! I turned the slip around as soon as I got to work and it did not help. I am constantly pulling the straps and neckline back where they belong. I even tried buying a special tape so I could tape it to my bra. It did a better job of staying put but the tape ripped off my skin! Now when I walk I have to press on the sides of my dress to try to hold the slip in place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by geo49 from WOMENS SLIPS It irritates me that full slips come only in three colors nude, black, or white. What happened to the rest of the colors. I realize that maybe there;s only a small percentage of the female population that wears slips. Me being one, but I would like to see the manufacturers come up with more from the color spectrum such us red, pink, yellow, teal, etc Preferably in up to sizes 40C. I

Rated 1 out of 5 by Qpon from This slip twisted all day long By the time I got to work, this slip has manged to twist itself almost completely around my entire body. Because of the type of fabric the slip is made from, it does not slide against your dress. I spent the entire day in the restroom twisting it back in place. I even tried tucking the slip into my bra, but to no avail. I returned it to the store.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cassie2011 from Size difference between description and item I would have given this item 5 stars except for one reason. The 18" length was listed on-line by number sizes (36, 38, 40 etc) and the 22" length was listed only by letter sizes (M, L, XL). I needed the 22" slip and would have preferred to order by bra size (I generally take a 38 in bras) but since the length I needed wasn't offered that way, I ordered an XL. Well, what I got in the mail was a 22" size 40. How is that when that length only was offered in letter sizes? Kohl's needs to list the 22" slips with the correct sizes. Obviously the 40 was way too big. Other than that - LOVE the slip in that it has a reversible neckline. Will be a great addition to my wardrobe when I get the correct size.

Poles and throws?
I am putting together a volume buffer and source selector.
However, I am utterly confused as to what switch I need. I want to be ablee to have 3 inputs.
Assuming you want to use a rotary switch, it should of course have three positions, which means you need three throws. However, with rotary switches you normally don't talk about throws but about psositions. What you need is a three-pole, three-pos switch.
If you have rocker or tumbler switches you talk about throws. A tumbler with an on and an off position is a single throw, with one on and another on position it is double throw.
hope this helps,
jan didden
Looking at the schematic symbols for various switches might help shed some light also.
3 inputs that you can select from?
I assume this is 2 channel (stereo)?
Then you'd need 2 poles,with 3 throws. (DP3T)
So either a dobbelpole trippel throw rocker switch or a dobbel pole 3 position rotary.
Thank you very much!
Triple throw rocker would be very unusual. You can buy triple position rocker with a centre detent. But inside there are only two active connections.
You might find that the basic rotary switch available is 4 pole 3 way,
(other versions being 1 Pole 12 way, 2 Pole 6 way, 3 pole 4 way).
Just double up the connections.
rgds, sreten.
Wire two sections in parallel. Not really necessary as it would be simpler to just ignore unwanted poles, but you halve contact resistance (and double stray capacitance).
Am thinkin of just this thing myself.
can someone post a link to a 3 position stereo knob i can buy?
I cant seem to find them anywhere.

U.S. Attorney Ben Wagner says some of the victims include Kraft, Frito Lay and B&G Foods.
WAGNER: "SK Foods was essentially privy to non-public information about some of the competitors, so how you quantify all that in terms of a loss to the customers is difficult to say. But, I think we can say it's in the millions."
He was discovered during a Federal embezzlement investigation of one of his employees, Anthony Manuel. Manuel was believed to have embezzled more than $1 million from his previous employer. Wagner says Manuel admitted to the crime and then offered up Salyer.
WAGNER: "In 2007 and 2008, Mr. Manuel, working at SK Foods, recorded conversations with SK Foods executives, including Scott Salyer and provided documents corroborating his account of the crimes being committed."
In 2009, Salyer fled to Andorra, where he had stashed three million dollars. He was arrested in February of 2010 when he re-entered the United States.
