Vindictive Ex-girlfriend Could Face 18 Months in Prison for Facebook "E-Personation"Posted in E-Personation
Late last year, Superior Court Judge David Ironson in Morristown, New Jersey, declined to dismiss an indictment of identity theft against Dana Thornton, who allegedly created a false Facebook page that portrayed her ex-boyfriend, narcotics detective Michael Lasalandra, in a highly unfavorable light. According to the prosecution, Thornton used the page to impersonate her ex-boyfriend,… Continue Reading

Fears of US inflation spook market
Page Tools
The sharemarket yesterday suffered its worst falls in nearly a month after the US Federal Reserve spooked investors with concerns about inflation.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index dropped 19.2 points to 4039.4 and the All Ordinaries fell 17.3 points to 4043.4.
Those falls followed a dive on Wall Street after the release of minutes from the US Federal Reserve's December meeting showed the central bank believed interest rates were still too low to contain inflation.
The technology company-based Nasdaq Composite Index fell 44.29 points, or 2 per cent, to close at 2107.86 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 99.53 points to 10,629.90.
"Wall Street is likely to remain cautious given possible rate movements, and we remain bearish at current levels," said Peter Hilton, Bridges Financial Services' head of Australian equities.
The biggest drag on the Australian market was BHP Billiton, which suffered in the wake of heavy falls on the London Metal Exchange.
The shares fell 15¢ to $14.99, nearly 12 per cent of the market's total losses. Rio Tinto dropped 85¢ to $39.07.
A poor overall performance by the sector accounted for more than half the losses in the main indices.
"Both BHP and Rio weakened in UK trade, so their impact was felt here. Not as much as it was last night, but they both dropped down," said BT Financial Group equity dealer James Hogan.
Woodside Petroleum shares were steady at $19.99, despite an announcement that it would form an alliance with a US energy company to explore and develop fields in the Gulf of Mexico.
The market was watching WMC Resources shares after an independent expert's report valued the company at between $7.17 and $8.24 a share - 30 per cent above Swiss-based Xstrata's offer price of $6.35.
"Investors are just continuing to digest the Target's Statement released earlier in the week," Mr Hilton said. The stock closed off 3¢ at $7.29.
But nickel and copper miner Titan Resources had a giant of a day, with its shares soaring 79 per cent. After speculators heard of a joint venture with Chinese base metals producer Baiyin Nonferrous Metals Corp to process low-grade stockpiles containing copper, the stock climbed 6.4¢ - or more than 70 per cent - to close at 14.5¢. More than 30 million shares changed hands.
Banks and insurance companies also lost ground. Insurance group QBE fell 11¢ to $15.15 and AMP fell 10¢ to $7.12.
Three of the four major banks closed lower, with Westpac down 26¢ to $19.30, ANZ off 17¢ at $20.49 and National Australia Bank down 12¢ to $28.68. Commonwealth Bank managed a small gain, firming 4¢ to $32.21.
Among retailers, Coles Myer shed 19¢ to $9.56 and Woolworths 6¢ to $14.90.
Brewing giant Foster's had a busy day, announcing it would no longer trade on the London Stock Exchange because of a lack of interest from European investors. It also said it had signed an agreement to brew and distribute beer in Turkey. The stock edged up 1¢ to $5.85.
National Foods crept 2¢ higher to $6.34, with no fresh news on the bidding war between its two takeover aspirants, Fonterra and San Miguel.

"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place." -- H.L. Mencken
More Oil Consolidation
In further consolidation of the global oil and gas industry, Repsol SA (NYSE: REP), Spain's giant oil, natural gas, and chemicals group, made an unsolicited $13.5 billion bid to buy the remaining 85.01% of Argentina's YPF SA (NYSE: YPF) that it doesn't already own. If completed, the deal would propel Repsol to the number-eight spot among the world's largest oil companies, with some $26 billion in annual revenues. Repsol is offering to pay $44.78 a share in cash, a 25% premium over the closing price of YPF's American depositary receipts (ADRs) yesterday of $35 15/16 ($35.9375).
Repsol, YPF's largest single shareholder, acquired a 14.99% stake in the company from the Argentine government back in January for $2.01 billion, or $38 a pop. At the time, the Spanish oil concern said it would seek a change to YPF's bylaws and take full control of the company through a stock swap. Apparently the just-announced cash offer circumvents the need to amend YPF's bylaws. Still, the deal likely will face opposition from YPF's board and its chairman, who has expressed his desire to broker a merger of equals or remain independent.
Repsol said that the YPF acquisition would boost earnings per share, return on equity, and cash flow by 10% to 25% a year. Repsol's bigger refining capacity would complement YPF's deeper oil and gas reserves and greater production operations. The two companies combined would control more than half of Argentina's retail gas stations, which could raise antitrust concerns, though the government has agreed to vote its remaining 5.3% stake in YPF in favor of the deal under certain conditions.
News to Go
Highly sought-after cable TV operator MediaOne Group (NYSE: UMG) has entered into confidentiality agreements with both Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and America Online (NYSE: AOL), opening the door to merger talks in the wake of AT&T's (NYSE: T) counter-offer to Comcast's (Nasdaq: CMCSK) earlier bid to acquire MediaOne, The Wall Street Journal reported. Any new offers would have to come by May 5, and Microsoft and AOL likely would make a bid in conjunction with Comcast.
Troubled PC maker Compaq Computer (NYSE: CPQ) said Senior Vice President Michael Heil resigned as general manager of worldwide sales effective immediately. The news comes less than two weeks after the ouster of CEO Eckhard Pfeiffer. Heil will become CEO of newly formed data-network company CommcoTec Corp. in Stamford, Connecticut.
Aerospace and aircraft giant Boeing (NYSE: BA) is in serious talks to acquire a controlling stake in the $2.4 billion Ellipso satellite mobile-phone project, according to The Wall Street Journal. Privately held Ellipso holds a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license to launch a 17-satellite system. When Boeing became the prime contractor and integrator for the project a year ago, it made a $50 million equity investment in Ellipso.
Cigarette maker RJR Nabisco Holdings (NYSE: RN) said it has developed a way to reduce the harmful compounds in cigarette smoke and that it plans to test the method to see if its laboratory results can be duplicated in barns where tobacco is cured. If so, the company may use the tobacco in all of its brands.
Information services company EDS (NYSE: EDS) reported first-quarter EPS of $0.36, before special charges and gains, down from $0.43 in the same year-earlier period and right in line with estimates. During the quarter, the company recorded restructuring and other pre-tax charges totaling $379.8 million, primarily to cover costs related to laying off 5,200 employees, asset writedowns, consolidation, and the discontinuation and exit of certain service offerings.
Earnings to Go:
(Quarterly earnings per share versus that of the same year-earlier quarter and compared with analysts' mean estimate according to First Call. Where noted, earnings exclude one-time charges and gains.)

Friends of TV producer Paul Fraser, who died this week after he was hit by a car in the US, have paid tribute to the Melbourne-born man.
Mr Fraser, 44, who worked on programs inlcuding Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? and The Weakest Link, was killed on Monday while walking along a Seattle street with fellow Australian Richard Sattler.
The pair were struck by a car which had been shunted on to the footpath by another vehicle which ran a red light. Mr Fraser died instantly, while Mr Sattler sustained minor injuries including cuts and bruises.
Mr Fraser worked as an executive producer for television company ECM, heading a range of reality TV productions around the world.
During the 1970s and 80s he worked on Australian TV shows including Hey, Hey It's Saturday and The Don Lane Show.
Today Mr Sattler paid tribute to Mr Fraser, his closest friend.
He said they first met 23 years ago while working on The Mike Walsh Show in Sydney.
"They gave me the desk next to Paul ... He took me under his wing, showed me the ropes and told me how he got through each high-pressure day, live-to-air, (of) 90 minutes of the best talk/variety television imaginable," Mr Sattler said.
"I heard him put on his famous 'phone voice' to talk top local and international personalities, politicians and regular everyday garden variety Australians into baring their souls and appearing on the show.
"To this day thanks to Paul I can talk anybody into doing anything when I put on the 'phone voice' as taught to me by Paul."
Mr Sattler said he stood guard at the scene of the accident for more than three hours until the Medical Examiner could remove Mr Fraser's body.
He said it was ironic that in death Mr Fraser, a 'TV news junkie', had become a news story.
"Our accident had happened in time for the midday television news in Seattle, with TV helicopters overhead and reporters doing stand-ups to the left of the crime scene tape and to the right.
"The incredible irony that Paul himself had become 'breaking news' was too funny in many ways, too sad too of course."
Mr Sattler said his friend "was the funniest man alive".
"I have travelled the far corners of the globe with him, worked side by side with him constantly over the past two or more decades shared hundreds if not thousands of meals together and millions of gallons of good wine probably.
"We were The Odd Couple of off-screen TV - me gay, he straight, and yet an inseparable double act right up until the end."
Dale Evans, a London-based friend of Mr Fraser, said he had no surviving relatives.
"He was a loner who travelled light and lean and prided himself on it."
He said Mr Fraser lived out of two suitcases, which "were augmented by boxes under friends beds in Hong Kong, Melbourne, L.A., London and Sydney".
"He hid his heart under a bushel of sharp-as-a-tack observations, acerbic one liners, and droll throwaways that would have you bent double."
"His dry, sometimes mischevious, quick-witted sense of humour was one of the main elements of his character which brightened every professional and social circle.
Mr Fraser's boss, Chris Bonney, said he "never took life too seriously".
"While coping admirably with a stressful job, he would never let the pressure get to him.
He was always thinking and planning for his next adventure, whether retiring to the Gold Coast or becoming a butler."
Mr Fraser's friends plan to hold wakes in Melbourne, Sydney and London, and possibly also in Hong Kong and Los Angeles.

The jean jacket has been around for a long time.
In the last few years it's become a popular fashion trend – especially when layered.
But the hipsters didn't invent this classic pieces of menswear.
Heck, I remember having a jean jacket as a kid growing up in Midland, Texas.
My jean jacket was tough as nails and something I never worried about tearing when I had to feed the horses or throw bales of hay.
Americans a prone to thinking of denim as their own uniquely national fabric, but its origins are in Renaissance Europe.
Nimes, France and Genoa, Italy both claim to have originated the fabric. Both also claim to be a namesake — in theory, Nimes gives us "de Nimes," or "from Nimes," which became "denim," while the sturdy blue cloth from Genoa became known by traders as "bleu de Genes," giving us "blue jeans."
There are even paintings from Italy in the mid-1600s that show denim jeans, skirts, and jackets much like the ones we know today!
Much like the marketing-encouraged legend that gold-mining "49ers" wore Levis (the company wouldn't start making its denim overalls for another 20 years after the end of the California gold rush), you can take those stories with a grain of salt.
For a quick video overview of the Jean Jacket – click here.
It's safe to say, then, that no modern brand or fashion label can claim credit for "inventing" the jean jacket.
If anything, denim jackets are ubiquitous.
Everyone has made them at one point or another. From Levis to Gucci to Abercrombie & Fitch, they've always been on the racks.
Functional – Timeless – Attractive
These things are what make the Jean Jacket a classic wardrobe item every man should consider.
Reasons to Buy a Denim Jacket
Why all that universal popularity? Does anyone really need jean jackets, apart from cowboys and greasers? If you're on the fence, it's worth keeping these advantages of the jean jacket in mind:
Three-Season Wear
The big advantage of a jean jacket — and much of the reason for its enduring popularity — is that it's useful for most of the year.
Much like a pair of jeans, a denim jacket is light enough to wear on a warm spring day but warm enough to get you through the coolest parts of fall.
About the only times you won't want to wear one are the height of summer and the very coldest parts of winter.
Weights can vary, of course, and the addition of lining fabrics makes a jean jacket warmer but less versatile. (It can also add a visually interesting contrast — most lined jackets have a pattern on the inner surface.)
But in general, denim jackets fall under the header of "three-season" wear, good for much of the year.
Beat 'Em Up Coats
Denim's big selling point has always been its low-maintenance toughness. You can beat it up in a way that you can't treat more delicate fabrics.
Assuming your jacket is 100% cotton denim, you can wad a jean jacket up without worrying about wrinkles. It won't rip easily, and if you're buying from a manufacturer like Levi's that reinforces stress points with rivets the lifespan gets even longer.
Heavier weights are obviously going to be tougher, and good fit with no too-tight straining spots ensures both comfort and durability. But in general, a denim coat is going to be as tough or tougher than similar coats made from a finer weave.
Casual Style
Denim has gotten dressier over the last few decades, but you'll still always be casual in a jean jacket.
That's part of the appeal — throwing on a denim jacket puts some distance between you and "the suits." It's an excellent casual substitute for a blazer or a sports jacket when you feel that either of those would seem a little too stuffy.
It's also a good way to add a collar and some buttons to a plain T-shirt — in that case, it's actually dressing the outfit up a little, and giving your face and figure a better frame than a shirt on its own.
Additionally, a well-fitted denim jacket has the same slimming effect of a good sports jacket. If you've got one with a little bit of taper to the waist, it gives you a more flattering silhouette than a big, boxy coat.
Most manufacturers taper their men's jackets, and you can seek out "slim fit" options if you want a more dramatic narrowing.
So yes, jean jackets have long been the symbol of cowboys, truckers, rock stars, and other informal, rough-and-tumble men — and that's part of why it's nice to wear one from time to time.
Even if you're not a trucker or a rock star yourself, your fashion can still nod to that independent spirit.
How to Wear Your Denim – Jean Jacket Style
Some men don't hold back from a jean jacket because they don't like the style, or can't think of a reason to wear one, but rather because they see it as a difficult piece to wear.
And it's a valid concern — there are lots of ways to look really stupid in a jean jacket! Some men have achieved truly, spectacularly dumb looks in theirs.
But for the most part, if you dress with a little common sense, you can make a jean jacket work as easily as any other wardrobe piece:
Fit: Snug and Straight
The best way to look good in your jean jacket is to get one that fits well in the first place. A tailor can do minor adjustments to the length of the sleeves easily enough, but you don't want to plan on having significant adjustments made once you get the jacket off the rack.
Instead, buy one that has a good, snug fit in the first place. You're looking for nice straight lines throughout your figure — the jean jacket shouldn't billow or sag in visible folds. The shoulders and sides should be clean planes, and the front and back should fall smooth and flat.
Length can vary a bit depending on styles, but most denim jackets are cut right around the waist. Too much longer than that and it starts to look more like an untucked work shirt; too much shorter and it's getting girly. You won't go wrong with a basic waist-length, or upper-thigh at the longest.
Most jean jackets are blue. That's unsurprising, given that modern denim jackets started as a way to repurpose scraps from the manufacture of blue jeans!
Light blue is the color of "working jeans," and the most casual option. This is getting into pretty serious cowboy and trucker wear. (It's also a favorite for cropped, distressed, or otherwise-altered women's jean jackets, so beware of short ones with ragged edges unless you're actively trying to look like Britney Spears.)
Darker blues, on down to deep indigo, dress the jacket up a little. These are the most common option out there for men right now.
Non-blue colors are more fashion-forward. They make the jacket a little less versatile, but also help it stand out a little. If you're feeling bold, there's no law against wearing colored denim.
Just use the same caution you would when wearing colored denim pants — to nightclubs and rock concerts, yes; to work on Casual Friday, no.
Matching the Denim Jacket
If you've never heard the phrase "Canadian tuxedo," here's all you need to know about it: it refers to wearing blue jeans and a matching denim jacket, and it's not a compliment.
Your jacket and trousers should always have a bit of contrast if you're not wearing a suit, but it's especially critical with denim. Too much of it makes you look like a Hollywood caricature of a 1970s trucker.
In general, just wear pants that aren't denim when you wear your jean jacket. Cords, chinos, khakis, and even some casual dress slacks can all look fine with a jean jacket, as long as there's some color contrast. It takes the whole problem of matching denim out of the equation.
If you must wear denim pants and a denim jacket at the same time, make sure the colors are substantially different. Light gray jeans and a dark indigo jacket can work; a medium-blue jacket with light blue jeans will not. Really, your best solution here is "buy more pants," so that you don't have to pair denim with denim.
Conclusion: To Buy A Jean Jacket, Yes or No?
There's no reason that anyone has to own a jean jacket. There are alternatives out there.
But they're great pieces of equipment: sturdy, versatile, and low-maintenance, with a weight that works for the better part of the year. (Only in temperate climates, of course — you'll get less use out of a jean jacket in Indonesia than you will in Iowa.)
Anyone that's looking for a midweight jacket in a casual style could do a lot worse than to try denim. If nothing else, you're following in the footsteps of 400 years of fashion.
Where to Buy A Jean Jacket?
The jacket I wear in the video is a classic Levi's Trucker jacket – you can buy it here.
I also really like the Wrangler Rugged Wear Denim Jacket & Carhart Sandstone Jean Jackets

Bruins, Penguins tied after one
|11.10.10 at 7:49 pm ET
The first 20 minutes between the Bruins and Penguins can best be summarized with the following: two fights and two teams tied up, 2-2, after a period of play.
The Penguins didn't take long to get on the board, as Arron Asham was able to grab a rebound in front and put it past Tim Thomas.
One thing that may have taken a little longer than one might have expected was Mark Recchi's first goal of the season, which he was able to get on the power play. Recchi took a pass from Tyler Seguin and fired a quick shot that yielded a big enough rebound from Brent Johnson for Recchi to capitalize and beat the netminder for his first tally.
Brad Marchand and Brooks Orpik later added goals within 34 seconds won another, and it's tied up after one. The fights, one between Shawn Thornton and Eric Godard and the other between Gregory Campbell and Maxime Talbot, came within two seconds of one another.
The shots are 18-14 in favor of the Penguins thus far.
While the Bruins were able to capitalize on one power play, they got kind of a rough deal on their other one. With Asham in the box for tripping, Zbynek Michalek hacked at Nathan Horton's stick in front of the net, breaking the shaft and yielding no reaction from the B's or refs.

They have the volatility they have been trying to stand in looks to be really really good football team the players are there as good as you can get it that's the key positions quarterbacks fantastic tie -- -- here. The running back Stephen Jackson coming back as a guy that we have had great respect vote. We shouldn't -- feet under who served. And an -- world or any coach in that situation. Where they would just say you know what. They're just they're just not performing as well there's a host they do we need to you you you would think it. Going forward this team with. It would would have a lot more attractive view these two with a final fourteen -- -- last year but that the falcons are not leave them there before you know what -- how much of it is. The injuries how much of it is odd that Ryan how much of -- -- -- coaching but it just hasn't really -- to -- reform lesson you wanted to -- on a message to a player that neutralized with Taylor who's gonna -- toward Gonzales -- -- don't care what -- for record that's. Soldier Field in Chicago the five and three Chicago Bears host the five and three Detroit Lions a game from the old black and blue division. Brandon Marshall is excited that Jay Cutler is returning this week because he's the key to their success. My dad Jay Cutler he's bad you know the Dixon was right. -- like seniors right now I don't serious note. You know -- -- on the right track I think he's going to try it this week. What exactly but -- up with this to make it out -- person -- codes and say he's our he's our leader user that affords it takes business. So -- ago. Sneaky good game of the week this week there are really doing and a game between two teams with unity community and -- ignored that I'd like with the sort of done object to that list. I like with the president the benefit the one being able to. The kind of bounced back and if they get up and healthy public record in the future. Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin five and three Green Bay Packers host the -- by Philadelphia Eagles. Chip Kelly says it's no surprise to them that nick -- is making it work with the. The ball and I think he's got great touch great accuracy he's a big guy's gonna take on. Not like all of a sudden just started on the ball the opinion like while the clinic in due time and we see that this country I mean. He can rip it to big strong dude and can and -- the ball. Sales were pretty good distance. Dangerous relative to what you said that's going on there and then -- NFC central Green -- is in the spot where they need to keep pace of their -- Philly team -- to maybe people is that nick -- performances that just though and you know -- -- -- its own good you just don't know that the -- seven touchdown passes and -- -- -- I'll say this though in in the packers' case with all due respect to whoever the -- -- None of armor Aaron Rodgers him and when you lose and a guy like that I think it might be hard it. Tread water for awhile -- MetLife stadium in the meadowlands of New Jersey -- two and six New York football giants. -- -- three and five Oakland Raiders Eli Manning says he truly. Only it's. The giants' offense is on the cusp of breaking out. You know we're just just inches away from having touchdowns and as that I completions on some things -- But still feel good that we're we're making progress toward getting better camera continued through. West Coast team company's -- in 1 o'clock game is different before. -- the raiders in the situation that does both well -- -- regardless the -- in but the giants -- -- bit different -- -- -- just yet again -- -- -- wanna -- if there was a -- not good but giants again that that no -- really gonna divisions there was no reason for them up to be right investment Matt and I were talking about it during the break that we're watching Terrelle Pryor going into the stadium. There were saying you know it is this going to be the guy going forward I felt I was the under the assumption there is no I don't feel for the race. They've got to wake up 1 morning and change their mind that match went out there available. Kind of made sense. LP field.

Much better start -- and policy can't survive your mistakes and you know forever and cents. -- focus on it then. Try to try to improve. Colts -- latter really easy schedule for the second half of the season they've gone for -- team to reach the playoffs last year. The -- -- to fourteen through the second half the teams that meet the postseason there's statements to do that and that the team right now for being there. If everyone stays healthy they'll look at that -- important to so scary because that's still sort of show me another alias. Yeah sure until you have a playoff game and believe I was gonna say a playoff game without Reggie Wayne Gretzky. Which I think is going to be tough for them Boston College. Means available Leo yeah yeah he's out there M&T bank stadium in Baltimore the three and five Baltimore Ravens. -- the six and three Cincinnati Bengals Ray Rice says. If anything about the first half of the season they just need to win games in the second half. We got eight games left and that's my focus now I've been working on my -- my hope is there. And house time to keep pushing for these next three games and win the ones that we have at home. This is gonna be really fascinating to watch down the stretch and since then because they don't have -- lacked in the so they're gonna take a step back defensively. Could -- be interesting to see what this team is made up maybe from a mental state of what they can finish out your strong going to the playoffs on a bill. I think we got to tell what to do it it's going to be. It's going to be you know NC deductible and -- similar to add Andre Carter thing that we got Jay Ratliff. -- women in the so -- in the idea that -- gonna bring in somebody Namibian -- down but it might offer whatever else they got going off. Heinz Field in Pittsburgh with two and six Pittsburgh Steelers host the three and six Buffalo Bills Ben Roethlisberger says. That no concerns that his teammates are giving up on the season. I'm not worked by equipment that that the senate first formal. It's more -- I'm not -- quit you know and I'm gonna make sure that legislated that game last night everybody was -- to the last place and I wanna make sure that keeps going. Probably not the week I don't -- -- and then the irony is five days later Ian Rapoport reports that Ben. Apparently is gonna ask that the Steelers get the heck out of dodge in the offseason I mean much here expected Buffalo's -- mean you'll back though I wanna see how he's gonna be able to kind of did that buffalo offense have been protects our because they do think there's enough talent there it is to make things interesting down mistress nothing they're gonna count for the division but I think. They have an opportunity there to make some noise in the river itself. Candlestick Park in San Francisco a game that we will probably be keeping an eye on since it includes next week's opponent for the patriots the six into San Francisco 49ers host these three excuse me five and three. Carolina Panthers all -- Smith 49ers linebacker says it was tough to lead this team midseason but it will probably work in their favor. In the long run I mean of course I don't wanna be away from. Or. But it was good -- -- and you know. Did mama and together and work -- adjusted to -- about it via. Anybody listening and incidentally -- lives bigger crime -- a lot of you so we're talking about now. Port 25 University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale before and for Arizona Cardinals host the two and six. Houston Texans. JJ watt says they're top priority is hoping Gary Kubiak recovers and is okay. Next they can use it W the start some kind of run in the second half of the season. First thing is always healthy your coach was sounds like he's doing all right that's the best thing that. And then. The desire to move on next thing you know it's a real tough situation learned from a loss to learn from the things you know we need your own. Central focus of. You're getting into a situation here -- Houston. Really a must win status because if you look at attendance six -- you can't afford to many more losses you're gonna get the ball rolling down your second of the season went. The obligated to Justine didn't get this season to this point it's -- surreal enough this off. Historically weak AFC east is got a couple players in the going to be the ones push them out the door for an alternate route can I say something. Gary politically incorrect here well and and and I'm gonna I'm gonna tread a line that's a little tough. I think there was a very real possibility. Houston Texans we're gonna move on from Gary Kubiak. And now it may be hard for them to do. Now a football decision. May get set aside because how heartless the duplicate your coach collapses on the sidelines. At half time. And and suffers what apparently they're calling -- mini stroke. And you firing if you please let. I think that some do I think it's going to be hard for them to make -- -- that I think they were gonna make in the offseason and -- is enough. He's an interview -- -- you ideas you the news release from the hospital Tuesday is expected to make a full recovery we still don't know when he's going to be able to be done to actually -- football -- is not going to be on the sidelines right today -- like I got a -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- when you see his situation in -- what John -- went through -- -- -- -- the week before. We talked to bill. Belichick about that this week that look -- know things about them comfortable with my work schedule at this point but. It does bring up a good question about the workout with the coaches when going -- Which is to. Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego before and for chargers both the seven and one Denver Broncos speaking of coaches on the sidelines -- their coach John Fox. Had a heart procedure done he's not going to be back for the foreseeable future Antonio Gates says they always get excited to play the Broncos but this is a big one. Because it can put them over 500. It's always important you know we've got a division opponent. Like the -- referred as like the game and a half. Just because you know it is a division game and -- -- you know get going in the right direction. Powerful -- starters. Now we tried now we want to do and how we -- -- but it is what it is that's directed so right now -- -- look forward to getting things turned around going in the right direction. In -- the continuity how much do you think the loss of John Fox for an extended stretch. Is gonna effect that teaming up Jack Del -- we're keeping -- from head coach he's been such as successes they had utility guy -- that let you seriously -- -- -- yeah I mean he knows he knows how to commander room he knows how to coach across the board when it says you know. Defense offense special teams the whole bit I mean he's. Familiar with the all the logistics involved but I just wonder how much it is going to be -- hall where fox had some. We're Del Rio was able to take bewilderment why would imagine at del -- much of the defense of leader because that's kind of his background -- that office has -- -- -- as much as by the coach it's down so there was a situation -- felt we could probably whether that it sounds like it would -- them. Sunday Night Football football like America Mercedes-Benz -- New Orleans these six into New Orleans Saints host of five and four Dallas Cowboys I'm actually looking forward to seeing this when the -- this could be pretty good game Drew Brees saints quarterback says. They've been able to adapt to certain teams and schemes during the game. And that's the mark of good team. There's been plenty of occasions were we going to game we've got a certain games. And then early in the game. That second quarter you realize that man we are able to take advantage of this match up or. This deficiency in the defense delivered -- -- and you just start and maybe that wasn't necessary for the game plan but. You've got to be -- make adjustments on Iran. Which in effect due to problems that happened this game these defense support in the last year with Dallas -- -- -- -- New Orleans does he have any sort of be inside knowledge that's going to be able to -- -- you think things -- just turned over so much to a point where. -- him and I think you'll understand approaching -- here likes to use the office to I think some looks -- valuable you know the issues with height and how best approach them the best we've played. You know different things. The thing on mattresses and mrs. I was in my column this week I talked about turn over their virtual just alluded to the -- the patriots -- where they stand about. One of the top few teams in the fell in turn over the age differential a positive way is Dallas. Except that the Tony Romo reckless with the ball narrative team that doesn't turn it over -- they've actually done a little bit him though that they've actually done pretty well about Roma both sides of the ball and I think that's what kept him sort of in a competitive situation you know -- so with Romo is when they come they come in bunches and you know they do resist -- -- that our government available but just that the worst. -- exactly yeah. It's kind of funny in this regard Monday Night Football we turn our attention. To a game that -- of interest to anybody. I mean ESPN continues this run of having horrible Monday Night Football games and now everybody's going to be watching. As the old 18 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Raymond James Stadium hosts before and for Miami Dolphins. Kyle Miller dolphins tight -- says in his mind nothing that happened in their locker room with quote on quote over the top. I never witnessed attitude is crossing the line I don't know if you do. But from what I've seen him from what I've experienced. That I think that's why would the confusions there than we ever witnessed experience of bowling ball. You don't from a football perspective. At least from the outside it appeared that Miami was headed in the right direction before the last couple weeks because they were building something new if you really I thought impressed me a number of levels last year. And over the first half of this season. Again the appeared to be going in the right direction I wonder how much of what happened over the last couple of weeks what's come to light of the last couple weeks. It's gonna cause him to whether any further general manager be fired their head coach. Or seen just undertake to complete -- this and I just wonder how they react to this reminds me that Tom Jackson situation years ago or real supposedly paper coaching rule is sort of rally the locker room. You hear the comments for a bribe our line intended -- at Cameron Wake they're sort of book. Us against the world thing going on down there and they feel like they're being painted into -- incorrectly. -- might rally the troops side of the options they can go either of two ways from here on out that's the thing I think we're going to be able to see some sort of mental toughness from that team because those. Patriots seemed to you referenced 2000 Israel also -- -- to 2007 team in there as well. There were able to weather the storm and circle the wagons and kind of understand that look it's just -- 53 guys in the locker -- this is all we have going for we got to play for each other again I think your way to make excellent points he could go one of two ways that could -- run or for your. Things could sort of -- to bad we quickly. I'll -- this in the last few minutes Mike Florio pro football talk dot com has posted a new story. In which he says overcome with anger extremely indignant. That's what the word apoplectic means per a league source that's what dolphins owner Stephen Ross he has. Ross is only comments and tackle Jonathan Martin left the team thirteen days ago related to the -- hiring of Ted Wells to investigate the situation. -- his team getting plenty of national attention for the worst possible reasons it's unclear who will get the blame and more importantly the -- When the dust settles for the final report from Ted Wells could have a major impact on the decisions made by Ross. Here's the kicker line there's a growing belief elite circles that both coach Joseph Philbin. And GM Jeff Ireland will lose their jobs. Meant Ireland should. I'm not sure if Philbin should Ireland. November and you know it's true I will say this every every. Experience that I've had with that -- dolphins ownership group I've talked to some people the front office down their. Has been good you know it'd be seem to be good high character people we talked about Joseph Philbin haven't achieved this it would Joseph Philbin is a Massachusetts guy. He strikes me as the kind of guy. Who would be in control of the situation like this I don't know I haven't haven't had much contact with Ireland but it's going to be interesting to see what the upshot of all of -- -- that.

Right on the dot a car pulled into the drive way. Scott, Jacob, and Jacinta were here for us. Unfortunately they had to wait I decide I wanted Nadia to French braid my hair
Once we arrived at the zoo to took a shuttle to see the Elephants and Tiger, we saw once elephant drinking water and another throwing dirt on his back. The Elephant section of the zoo is very new and not yet completed. The tigers were very impressive. The trainers said it is very odd for the tigers to sit as close to the glass as they were, but we were able to get some great shots. Soon we were back onto the shuttle for some lunch and the 11:30 show. The show was fantastic only an hour, but we were able to see tropical birds fly over our feeds, trainers feeding the crocs, and a snake show. After that we headed for the kangaroos. Robert, Jacob and Jacinta were all anxious to pet the animals, but I was stand offish since I typically do not like animals. In the mean time Scoot and myself were looking for some Macedonian nuts to take home and eat. They did great, they were even given food from a nice couple to feed to the Roos. We did some more walking through the zoo, saw parrots, koalas, and so much more. We took a lot of great pictures and all in all have a great day. First time for me to see a Kangaroo and Koala.
On our return back to Frank and Joyce's, we had a quick pit stop at Glasshouse Mountains
Soon we were back on the road, talking about different things American and Australia's. Telling the kids all about snow, how to make snow balls, they asked if you could eat snow, and Seth this one is for you. We told them you can't eat the yellow snow!!! They had a little laugh.

Ripoff Report
Mike Warren4465 Northpark Dr., Suite 209 Colorado Springs, Colorado USA
Mike Warren email@example.com email@example.com This company 'stole' money from my account after I requested a cancellation of their services. Colorado Springs Colorado
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Mike Warren and his company MIS University has given me the run around about returning my money. I had requested the information pertaining to investment in real estate. I tried to cancel any subscription that came along with this information before they charged my account. I missed the time-frame of cancellation for the 1st time they charged me, however, I immediately submitted the request when I saw the charge. Unfortunately, for me, they charged my account again. Again, I immediately contacted the company for a cancellation. I have spoken with a representative by the name of Patrick, who told me to forward the request(s) for cancellation to email@example.com and he would take care of the cancellation and refund. Which was done on September 16, 2013. I called today to check on the status of the cancellation and refund and of course had to leave a message. I received a message from Patrick that the cancellation had been done but he still needed to get the email of the request(s) for cancellation. Which, I sent again. I am waiting now to see what the problem will be. Just wanted to file this report, so that others will be AWARE (BEWARE) of the potential problems they will face if they purchase products and/or subscriptions from this company and try to cancellation. It will take a lot of work.

My first stop is a local gun store. Now there's a surprise! I went there to purchase a Surefire E2D. They had it. I bought it. It is one sweet light.
Before I left I asked whether they had a speedloader for my SW 340. The guy behind the counter looked at the backs of some of the speedloader packages against the wall. He then said that I should bring the 340 in to try what they had there. I said, "No problem, it is on my hip. How can I show it to you?" He directed me to the front of the store where they had a sand bucket and told me I could unload there.
It definitely seemed weird unholstering my CCW in public. I cleared it and went back to the counter to let him see if he had a match. He went into the back and began fiddling with (plastic bullets?) One of his coworkers asked him what he was doing and he soon returned, pointed to the empty rack on the wall and told me they were out. I asked him if I could reload and he said yes, again at the sand bucket. I reloaded, holstered, and left.
Next stop was the department store to by CCW clothes. I bought more pants and shorts, two inches too big to accomodate IWB carry. Also, some shirts, though no Hawaiian this time. Then, I went to Border's looking for Ayoob's book. (I can't recall the name offhand.) They did not have it.
Last stop...drum roll...the range/gun store. I was going to buy the XD9. Bad luck. They had two in stock last week. Now they have none. I can order in Monday and pick it up on Wednesday. While I was there I checked ut the Kahr PM9. Hmmmmm....
Beats the snot out of my weed spraying the property.

Organic White Tea
Organic White Tea
Looking for an organic white tea? Look no further! Arbor Teas is proud to offer a selection of loose leaf organic white tea, including flavored blends and single-origin teas—a small, but growing portion of our organic loose leaf tea catalog. After harvesting, white tea is simply withered and dried (similar to an herb), with the occasional steaming in between. As a result, white teas offer the most exquisitely subtle tea-drinking experience around.
White teas originated in China's Fujian province, and continue to be produced in limited quantities in only a few parts of the world to this day. Governed by strict requirements, Chinese white teas, such as our Silver Needles and Bai Mu Dan, represent the most traditional style and flavor in our organic white tea selections. However, demand in the marketplace has caused white tea production to move beyond China's borders, and our Indian Silver Tips is a truly exceptional example of what can be accomplished in different soil.
As with any white tea, our organic white teas are simply withered and dried (similar to an herb) during processing. This simple manufacturing style can result in the downy white buds of our Silver Needle or the varied brown, white, and green leaves of our Bai Mu Dan. Hand-plucking and careful handling create these delicate organic teas.
We recommend brewing our loose leaf organic white teas in water that has been heated until bubbles have begun to form on the bottom of the pan, or 180 degrees Fahrenheit, for 2-3 minutes. Of course, these are only our recommendations. Let your personal taste be the ultimate test! Get more tips on how to brew loose leaf tea.

LONGVILLE — Various state departments began sending letters in the last week to Cass County departments, notifying various county departments that the state cannot ensure money suspended during a state shutdown would be paid when state services resume.
Since the Legislature adjourned without producing a budget the governor could agree to sign, the county board had authorized County Engineer David Enblom to continue with work begun to improve another portion of County State Aid Highway 1.
It is expected to be funded by $300,000 in state aid money and $900,000 in federal funds.
Enblom said he has received the county's second half 2011 state aid money, which is paid before projects are complete.
Federal funds, however, are channeled through the state and paid only after projects are complete. The county's plan was to pay for the CSAH 1 federal portion and expect the federal reimbursement when complete.
However, the state only will release the federal money if MnDOT inspectors have checked the quality of gravel or bituminous used in the project to be sure it meets specification. The county could hire private contractors to do those inspections during a state shutdown, Enblom said, which has been done in the past when state inspectors were too busy to send their inspectors to a county project. Private contractors may be over-booked with the pending shutdown, he warned.
If the county needed a change order on the CSAH 1 project, only a state employee could authorize that, he said, and the project would have to shut down.
Tuesday, the board authorized Enblom to check for availability of private road inspectors and report back to the board at the board's special planning meeting at Backus land department building Friday morning.
The board expects to decide Friday whether to continue the CSAH 1 project through a shutdown or until a change order is needed or to suspend the project July 1.
Enblom also said suspending the project could mean overlapping that project with the county's other state aid construction projects later this summer, meaning he would not have enough staff engineers to oversee multiple projects at once.
Reno Wells, health, human and veterans services director, received a similar letter to the one Enblom received.
The letter to Wells advised him to notify HHVS contractors that state money could cease during a shutdown and may or may not be reimbursed.
Wells said his staff could continue to take new applications for benefits, but could not process them if the program funding does not continue. Ultimately, it could lead to county staff temporary layoffs if the county cannot continue programs.
The board authorized Wells Tuesday to send notices to service contractors, but to wait to send any employee layoff warnings until it is known which HHVS programs will be suspended in a state shutdown and whether there is a shutdown.
The governor has asked the court to determine which HHVS services might be considered essential for public health and safety and, thus, allowed to continue through a state shutdown.
Sheriff Tom Burch said he has been advised state funds for sentence to serve programs would be suspended. Since Cass funds most of that program with county money, it will not have much impact, he said, adding the program will continue as usual in Cass.
Emergency Services Director Kerry Swenson said, because MnDOT is doing the work on all towers for the county's ARMER 800 Mhz radio system, work on those towers would cease during a state shutdown.
Administrator Robert Yochum informed the board that the auditor's office forwarded liquor license applications for businesses outside cities in the county to the state for approval ahead of the board's approval given Tuesday, contingent upon the board approval.
Annual renewals usually take three weeks to process through the state, he said, adding that the county auditor's office has been on the phone with the state regarding this year's applications in the hope they can be processed prior to the possible July 1 state government shutdown.
Normally, the county must approve liquor licenses prior to July 1, and the state gives its approval and returns the one-year licenses before ones from the prior year run out July 16.

Well my Audiovox stopped syncing right before SMBnation and no matter what I did I couldn't get it to sync, so I said I'd deal with it after SMBnation….well I'm dealing with it tonight… or more like it's dealing with me. So I called PSS support ensuring that I called before 6 p.m. when the business critical only kicked in and I went down all the steps that I'd done to troubleshoot and rattled off all the error messages I was giving…. so he wanted to fire up the emulator and see if he could connect.
"So can you provide me with your credentials".
and I said…. uh… hmmmmm…… lemme go reset that password….
In the State of Calfornia we're seeing that CPA firms are being mandated by their Insurance companies to have a confidentiality clause in their managed services contracts. When it comes to allowing remote access by support personnel there's a couple of cardinal rules to live by
- Never give them your real password. If you are like most folks, you have passwords that are variations of main passwords. So if you go give them your REAL password, be prepared to reset it and never use that variation again. I went in and set the password to a real sucky one for a temporary basis and then reset it back to the long strong one when done.
- Always set up an account with admin rights that you will offer up to remote technicians that is not your main admin account, not the built in admin account, and one that you only enable for them and then disable once they've hopped off the box. Reset the password on that one as well. You want to ensure that you leave accountability in your log files. I have a disabled admin account called "Msoft". With a password that I invarably forget what I've set it so I just reset it to what I need.
- If you are like me and don't set up straight TS access to the web and only do VPN, they do have other ways to 'get on' your box. If you don't feel comfortable with offering up TS or VPN credentials, they can use things like an remote Office Live meeting session.. it's a little bit awkward and icky for them, but if you are not comfortable, just say so as they do have options. But at a minumum, if you do give a technician a username and password on the system, the minute you are done, reset the password, disable the account.
- When troubleshooting a mobility issue and you attempt to test a connection over a non SSL connection JUST FOR TESTING PURPOSES… remind yourself that you have a router between you and the outside world… a router that has port 80 closed…..yup… I was attempting to do a non SSL connection to port 80 and 80 wasn't open to use for debugging purposes.
- So when the support guy told me to delete the user account and set it back up again…. I sort of went … uh… hmmm….that's MY account that I'd have to be setting back up again… how about I try a couple of things offline and get back to you? Bottom line, if something goes beyond what you want to rip out at this time, don't be afraid to stop the process and try more things on your own. They'll give you a phone number and an SRX to start the case up again with.
So Vlad came up with an excellent debugging suggestion… I knew that others in the office were still syncing just fine…just not mine. And in the IIS log files he couldn't see the phone hitting the server. I also knew that just today I had totally swapped phones, switching SIM cards, taking them back to fresh out of the box phones, reinstalling the cert and starting all over again and when I moved another SIM to my old phone, that ActiveSync worked just fine. But the Sync still got stuck on the 'new' phone. So we knew the issue wasn't physically connected to the device. I also tested that the phone could get out to the Internet. So Vlad said "why don't you sync to another person's mailbox that you know is syncing just fine" and still the same errors, the same messages.
We think now the phone's SIM card has gotten horked up. I have my other cingular aircard for the computer that has a chip, I may go home and try that to see if the phone still screws up.
Error messages are 0x80004005, 0x80070057
…..sigh… synchronization failed….try again later.. Yeah I think I'll pack it in for the night. I think I'll fire up an emulator at home and just make sure it is the SIM card…or at least appears to be.
….. I want my phone back …. I miss my email on my phone…. my poor little phone… sigh

Awesome Brightest Day Poster
This is a beautiful piece of artwork (by Ryan Sook, along with Fernando Pasarin and Joel Gomez) representing the White Lanterns from the current BRIGHTEST DAY storyline. I have been saving up all of these to read them at one shot. Usually Geoff Johns writes these great epic arcs when he is allowed the freedom to do so and I am interested in the characters he has chosen for this part of larger story that started with BLACKEST NIGHT. I miss those days when I was a real comic shop rat because I always was able to score promotional pieces like this.

Dry your unmentionables by the fire, says Wendyl Nissen.
Forget the Queen's Jubilee, school class sizes or the Scott Guy case, there's been only one issue for discussion in my house this week, and that's the washing.
Not dishwashing but the washing of clothes and, most particularly, how to dry them.
It may not surprise you to know that we don't use a clothes dryer. "While there is a sun in the sky we have all the drying power we need," I tell my family.
We do have one for emergencies but if anyone wants to use it they have to fill out three forms complete with carbon copies.
"I need to wear my jeans in an hour," is usually how it goes.
"You should have thought about that yesterday when it was a beautiful sunny day and they would have been dry by now."
"Please," they whine.
"Just this once."
In summer, requests for the dryer are few but in winter I can no longer summon the sun's drying power. Instead, a few years ago, I took over the front veranda of our villa and installed old-fashioned clothes racks which operate by pulleys. You will be familiar with them if you've ever watched period dramas involving maids downstairs.
For years, clothes have dried very well there. But then I ruined it. I got a man to trim the many trees we have out front. They have shielded us from the reality of the street and given us wonderful privacy. But despite living in one of the country's most sought after suburbs we still have power lines that hang perilously off our house. Our trees were waving about in the storms and threatening to down the lot.
On the same day I had an appointment with my dentist. She gives me drugs which send me to another land. I emerge from the experience barely remembering anything she has done to me.
"Just trim them away from the power lines," I said to the man armed with a chainsaw. "Not too much, I don't want to see the neighbours."
And off I went to have my teeth done. The next thing I remember is my husband glaring and saying: "What have you done!"
I really couldn't have told him anything about the past five hours. "What! Did she take all my teeth out?"
"The trees. The neighbours. It's a disaster!"
My man had cleared the power lines but, in the process, exposed us to the entire neighbourhood by eradicating a few old palm trees. "The extra light is nice," I offered.
Then our daughter came home.
"The washing! Everyone can see our washing!"
There for everyone to see were articles of faded underwear plus some very tatty towels and worn-out pyjamas.
I thought our new exposed status simply said: "A very real, environmentally aware, green family lives here." But the rest of the family used words like "scruffy" and "unkempt".
"We'll just hang the undies inside by the fire," I said. "On those rack things people in apartments use on their balconies."
Now, visitors sit in our lounge averting their eyes from the racks of undies as they sip their wine.
"What have you done?" I asked my husband after I arrived home and smelt the distinctive scent of dry clothes.
"We're using the dryer. We went online and it costs 81c a load to run. "Think of it as an embarrassment levy," was all he said.

100 to 200 Amp, simple?
Hey everyone, I am going to be moving into a house soon and it has a 100 amp main breaker in the box. Since I am a computer geek, I am afraid this will not be enough, not to mention the power consumption of electronics now a days. I also have a large saltwater fishtank that uses sump pumps and such.
Anway, I opened the box already and there is 3 wires coming into the box from the power pole. 2 Black and 1 White of course.
My question is, can I just replace the 100A breaker with a 200A breaker and be done with it or does the power company have to come out and "turn up" the transformer on the pole to deliver more power?
First you need to replace that 100 amp panel with a 200 amp panel. Next the utility may, or may not upgrade thier wires, but they will figure the added capicity into their transformer calculations for your street.
Utility companies do not follow the same NEC rules as you may think. They are required to engineer every installation. Sometimes this means that thier wire size is smaller than you would be allowed to use in the same situation.
This is much like buildings that do not fall into definitions in the code. NASA's space launch center for example. There is no hard fast rule, so they need to engineere every answer.
Since I have never had to engineere a wiring run from a pole to a house, I do not know all the details, but I do know that you cannot go by wire size as you could if you were on the load side of the meter.
So, the answer is call the utility and ask.
Like jwhite said, the power companys have their on codes to follow.
The NEC is only concerned from where the poco hooks to the wires to your meter, and everything inside your house.
Ahhhh! Got it. I didn't know there was a distinction. Thanks for the insight.
Home electronics are the same. Even your new 50-something inch TV only draws a fraction of your wife's iron does.
Electric heat, large motors, large appliances, heating appliances, A/C; these are the things that draw.

I am in process of installing the full Strutmaster passive system on my 1999 Deville (Base) and have the following questions:
1. I don't have the RSS so do I need to use the resistors to prevent codes?
1. If I pull the ELC fuse behind the rear seat to prevent the compressor from running, will it throw any codes?
2. Since I no longer need the components for the ELC, can I just remove the compressor, air dryer, leveling switch, etc? Will it throw codes?

Minnesotan finishes Iditarod as top rookie
NOME - Musher Nathan Schroeder of Chisholm, Minn., has crossed the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race finish line in Nome as the first rookie to complete this year's 1,000-mile race across the Alaskan wilderness.
Schroeder -- competing in his first Iditarod after winning Minnesota's John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon three times -- crossed the finish line at 8:52 a.m. Alaska time Wednesday, according to the race website. He finished in 17th place of the 50 teams that have either finished or were still on the trail; 69 teams started the race March 2.
Schroeder's finish puts him in elite company among race rookies. In the past 20 years, only six rookies have finished higher in the standings.
Schroeder and his team of 11 dogs left the Safety checkpoint, about 20 miles from the finish, at 6:15 a.m. Alaska time Wednesday — the same time as fellow rookie Abbie West and her team of eight. Schroeder and West traded the lead rookie spot for much of the race before Schroeder pulled ahead at the finish, finishing 5½ minutes ahead.
Schroeder's total time on the trail was 9 days, 17 hours, 52 minutes, 51 seconds.

Scott Parker is set to return to the Tottenham squad for the first time this season against Swansea but the England midfielder will struggle to nail down a regular spot under Andre Villas-Boas.
Parker played the full 90 minutes for the club's Under-21 side against Sunderland yesterday and should be cleared for Sunday's Premier League game at White Hart Lane — the first time he has available for a top-flight match since the 1-1 draw at Aston Villa last May.
Spurs may have missed Parker's determination and positional sense in certain matches but it is understood the 32-year-old, who is in the second year of a four-year deal, is unlikely to have the status he enjoyed under Harry Redknapp.
The former boss would always include Parker in the starting XI if the player was fit, and continues to monitor the situation as he seeks to strengthen his Queens Park Rangers squad next month.
It is thought Villas-Boas's first choices in central midfield will remain Sandro and Mousa Dembele whatever system he uses.
The former Chelsea manager is also keen to increase his options in that position during the transfer window although his long-term target, Porto's Joao Moutinho, is unlikely to move to London.
Villas-Boas's presence at his old club's Champions League game at Paris St Germain earlier this month led some to conclude the deal was back on but he only went to the French capital as a guest of Porto president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa.
Porto qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League and it is believed they would consider selling Moutinho only if his £31.5million release clause were met.

Re: Origami Dogs in the Rising Sun (RESUB)
Six colors on BROWN.
Description: "Having a limited amount of time this week -- I have a show that goes up next Thursday -- I knew I wanted to do something angular, since it would move the fastest. Origami popped into my head; then, living in Texas, I thought of that freakishly hot sun we've been treated to this Summer. Put the two together, and that's the run. I wanted to make everything look like paper and textiles. Very flat and clean and simple. Hope you enjoy!"
RESUB: I hadn't noticed that a few of my patterns had gone missing, so I used it as an excuse to take the design further. It's much closer to my original intention. The important thing is that I feel better about it!
