Owner info
Year Purchased: 2013
About the owner: Mark and Christine, and their two teenage boys came for a vacation in 2010, and fell in love with St. John. They decided to build their dream vacation home on a beautiful piece of property in paradise, during their first vacation visit; that's how quickly they fell in love with St. John. St. John is like a small town; everyone is treated like family.Then add the beautiful beaches, the sun and the turquoise water; it is heaven on earth.
Why the Owner Chose Rendezvous & Ditleff (Bethany, Cruz Bay, St. John 00830, USVI):
Mark and Christine picked this beautiful location for their incredible views of the turquoise Caribbean, the relaxing sound of the ocean hitting the beach below, and the trade winds that cool you. They liked the upscale neighborhood of Klein Bay, which is very quiet but is only minutes from Cruz Bay, which is the main hub in town. Casa La Famiglia has a private walking path that is a minute walk to the beach below for a swim or snorkel.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Owners and guests of Klein Bay villa's have access to a private pebble beach that is part of the Klein Bay Association. Klein Bay has some of the best snorkeling on St. John. Since Casa La Famiglia is just above the ocean, you will hear the ocean waves gently hitting the shore. Casa La Famiglia has a private walking path that will take you to Klein Bay's private beach. Because the owner's realized how long of a day it is for guests traveling, they will provide drinks and appetizers upon arrival and dinner for the entire group on the first evening of guests arrival.

Film bosses are giving Oasis fans the chance to appear in an upcoming documentary about the band by sharing their personal experiences with the rockers on camera.
The as-yet-untitled project, a collaboration between Pulse Films and the Wonderwall hitmakers' label Big Brother Recordings, aims to "tell the story of Oasis from the fans' perspective".
A message posted on the band's official website reads: "To help celebrate Oasis and their music Big Brother Recordings are working together with Pulse Films to make a documentary about you, the fans of the band.
"Whether it was that faithful night at one of their gigs where you met the love of your life, or if you only got to see them for the first time on the Dig Out Your Soul tour, we want to hear from you! We want to know how the key moments of your life were soundtracked by Oasis and their music."
The future of Oasis has been thrown into doubt following the departure of Noel Gallagher last year (09). The songwriter and guitarist walked out on the band after falling out with his brother, frontman Liam Gallagher, before a festival gig in Paris, France in August (09).
Singer Liam Gallagher subsequently vowed to continue recording with the remaining bandmembers, but admitted he was unsure if new material would be recorded under the Oasis name.
There were a number of defining bands of the 90's but Oasis were indisputably one...

John talked with Alex about Blue Jays manager John Farrell, and about the American League MVP race.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Welcome back to their Herb Chambers BMW pregame show on John writers we -- you ready for the Red Sox in the -- game two over three game series night in Baltimore now it's time. For the clubhouse insider with WEI. Dot com's Alex -- And Alexei you're at a post on WEEI dot com this morning Jon Lester says the team is that this season has been more difficult than last year. Which do you think his words his team that struggles. All season like this or like last contenders then falls out of the finish. It's. Man it's like comparing. Comparing bullet wounds to. It's a disease I guess right side hits that either of them tends to be really very enjoyable and I did they did Jon Lester description was very apt one where he described last year is like. It -- the last day of last season as having been the equivalent of a sharp punch to the face that really hurt. But he compared this season to a guy coming up like what we can basically sucker punching you and it kind of hurts but it's not like it doesn't W over anything. But then the same guy comes up the next week he thought -- but to view again and then and again and then again in. It's. If I do think that this season. Has just been so difficult for the players involved that really think that they're not used to this kind of environment you know last series you. You kind of accept that there are really bad for the baseball sometimes and sometimes -- horrible consequences but it was -- worth this year it's just been. Left and right really all season long it's just been so challenging for these guys to get through him. Maintain a positive out attitude about about coming to the park thinking that they're going to compete thinking that they can be good especially. You know in the aftermath of the trade when. They're having to come in and just know that they're playing shorthanded you know last year it defied logic that they were as that they were as bad as they are. This year they are playing as bad as they are so. It's that neither -- is a particularly enjoyable experience for the players involved no not at all many consider John Farrell the B. The favorite to be the next Red Sox manager there's been some reports of turmoil. In the Toronto club -- To any of these reports raise a red flag to the Red Sox. I would think it with another organization they might with the Red Sox they probably wouldn't because of how well they know the guy but nonetheless I do think that -- you know -- their noteworthy and certainly they add to kind of the if if the Blue Jays open it up for the Red Sox to talk to Ferrell. Then I do think that. Do you think that. It would certainly be an area of inquiry they would have to visit trying to figure out what is the nature of accountability and not in the Toronto clubhouse. Is there any reason to think that John Farrell. Doesn't command the same respect him presence that he had while he was with the Red Sox and their pitching coach. That said today do you think that the Red Sox would probably use those things this. You know I think that he he has such a history with the guys in the organization that they probably wouldn't be that concerned about it and I think it's also worth pointing out that. There were questions about whether or not Terry Francona -- -- -- clubhouse and Philadelphia. And that was kind of you know circumstantial so. I think that you're going to hear stuff like that in an environment where there's a lot of losing going yeah right good point on Francona. Just a handful of games left -- -- your MVP choice right now would be Miguel Cabrera Mike -- For me eyes I've maintained that it Trout the idea is to impact the game in every way imaginable. Last year I thought that Jacoby Ellsbury had the best all around season that I'd never seen. And this year Mike Trout is just I mean going far beyond that which is just amazing given. How young he is but he's a better defender than Ellsbury was last series probably a better base -- -- and -- was last year he's hitting for more power. Consistently than Ellsbury was last year he is a marvel he is. He's putting together one of the most extraordinary seasons -- probably any of us have seen. Not just from a rookie but from any player at all in. Miguel Cabrera you know he is an incredible hitter he deserves the Hank Aaron award for the best hitter in the American League. But the reason what part of the reason why the Tigers are in a dog fight. To get to the post season is because he's a terrible third baseman. And he and the combination of him in Prince Fielder at that at the two corners has really really hindered their run prevention so. For me you know I -- it is kind of similar to 2005 when. When David Ortiz had a better offensive season -- A-Rod. But A-Rod at that point was a gold glove third baseman -- ago he was the better overall player and he won the MVP. Might be controversial. To some of Cabrera does end up winning the Triple Crown doesn't get the MVP. Well again the triple but what is the Triple Crown I mean personally I think that the Triple Crown is a really super cool phenomena in. But it reflects statistics that are in some ways dated. Who cares about batting average relative to on base percentage in. You know does batting average -- batting average on base -- batting average home runs and RBIs. Reflect the sum and total of a player's value. Front offices and making decisions about players probably don't view. I think they've rarely view any of those statistics is being relevant though. There was a time when those were the defining statistics of -- offensive capabilities. That day is long since -- in my mind but that is not to downplay it. Miguel Cabrera who is. Perhaps the best pure hitter that we've seen the in this generation he is a marvel in the batter's box but I don't think that makes him the most valuable player. My great stuff as always Alex appreciate it. They are all right check about Alex bureau of WEEI. Dot com it's the Red Sox vs the Orioles tonight in Baltimore.

Part I
LaCroix followed Natalie inside, vaguely aware that his son had been watching them. Now he felt that Nicholas had left. He wondered if Nicholas had known it was he who had held Natalie in his arms tonight. He could feel his son's anger. It was a blind rage that had begun to melt away into a dull ache. There was still no sign of his having recognized LaCroix. Obviously, Nicholas had been too upset at seeing his beloved Natalie with another that he hadn´t taken the time to see who it had been.
Natalie took his hand, drawing his mind back to her and away from Nicholas. "You seem distracted, Lucien," she commented, leaning closer to kiss him briefly. She pulled away and turned towards the kitchen. "Can I get you anything?" she asked.
LaCroix shook his head. "I doubt, ma cherie, that your kitchen holds anything which could satisfy me. I am quite all right with you by my side." So saying, he pulled her closer to him and glided to the couch, where he sat with her on his lap.
Natalie snuggled into his embrace, feeling both secure and shy in his arms. She was unsure of what to do now that she was alone with him. They had never been *this* intimate before, although a few times they had come close to it. Tentatively, she leaned forward and kissed his lips. LaCroix returned her soft, butterfly kiss with his own more confident one. His arms tightened around her, drawing her closer and crushing her body against his own. He wanted her badly, more than he could remember wanting anyone else. She had gotten over her surprise at his aggression and had begun to return his kisses in kind. Their bodies responded to each other with longing.
As Natalie ran her hand along his chest, LaCroix felt himself change. Despite what had been said in the woods that night, he was afraid to reveal his true vampiric nature to her. Yes, she had said she could accept him for what he was, but that didn't stop him from fearing that she couldn't. When his fangs grazed against her teeth, he felt her sudden fear. Immediately, he let go of her.
"Don't stop," she said, her voice breathless.
"I must," LaCroix told her. He didn't want to. He ached to hold her in his arms, to fall asleep cradling her warm body. This frustration was thick in his voice when he said, "You're not ready for this, Natalie. You're not ready for me." He started to stand, but she grabbed him by the shoulders, pulling him back to her.
"Yes, I am," she told him, emphasizing it with a quick kiss. "I need you so much, Lucien. Can't you see that?"
"I feel your need, my dear, but I also feel your fear. You cannot hide it from me." He gathered her into his arms and began stroking her hair gently. "You must have no fear of me when we make love for the first time."
"This isn't our first time, Lucien. We've done this before."
"*Natasha* and I have done this before, my dearest Natalie," he reminded her gently. "Though you hold her memories and experiences in your heart, there is more to you than her. Because of that, you may know what is to come, but you still fear it."
Natalie could not hide from the truth of his words. They hurt her, because they said that a part of her still did not trust him.
LaCroix looked into her eyes and saw the sorrow that his words had caused. "You know not how sorry I am, my dear," he said in a low, comforting voice. "I do not truly wish to say good night and leave you here alone. But I cannot jeopardize our future by overlooking your fear."
He rose from the couch and, kissing her on the forehead, turned towards the door.
"Lucien... stay!" Natalie stopped
him with the urgency in her voice. "Stay with me, please. We don't have
to do anything, but please, just hold me while I sleep. I want to feel
you near me."
Nicholas was back. LaCroix could feel him watching them from nearby. He could also feel the hate which surrounded his son. For a brief second, he was divided as to what he should do. Should he stay with Natalie, whom he loved and desired, or should he try to smooth things over with Nicholas, whom he also loved?
"I'm sorry, my dear," he said, coming to
a decision at last. "I'm afraid I do not trust myself tonight. Tomorrow
night, perhaps, when our minds are more clear." He kissed her once again
at the door and took his leave of her.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
About two weeks ago I was online applying for a job that required a cover letter. I went to google and searched for a website that would allow me to generate a cover letter for free, though I intially logged into the site thinking it would be free. Once I completed the cover letter it informed me it would cost $2.95. I thought no big deal, simply paid the fee and downloaded my cover letter.
Today I went into the bank to make a withdraw and realized my bank account was short $34.95, I did not recognize the charge being that I have been on bed rest the past week but also did not recognize the merchant's name and there was a 5 digit phone number linked to the transaction.
I immediately let the teller know this charge was not authorized by me and fradulent. I sat down with another banker and filed a claim. The banker explained to me that people could simply take your credit crad information while you are using a ATM and that in this case its best to get a new bank card wich I did and watch my account carefully. [continued below]....
I got home and was so in disbelief that I had been a victim of this type of fraud so I called my sister and explained the story to her. She informed me that if I purchased anything on the internet agreeing to this monthy charge could of been in fine print. So I looked into it and sure enough the same place that i purchased my cover letter from was the same place that authorized this charge.
I immediately got in contact with a live customer service agent who basically told me I am screwed. Its perfectly legal for them to mis lead you into believing you are making a one time purchase, when in reality by using their service one time your actually giving them permission to take your har earned cash.
I truly hope someone get a class action suit going against this company, they prey on unemployed people for cash that we obviously need.

Please do you have a sense of justice and morality?
SUBMITTED: Sunday, June 29, 2014POSTED: Sunday, June 29, 2014
I totally agree with what the previous consumer said, and I was equally, if not more, disappointed at their fraud. I shall also caution my bank to treat any withdraw from LIVECAREER (what a great bait-and-switch trick) account. Please, I hope any employee of this company would find a peaceful life, without the troubling mind of cheating and stealing:-). Next time when you type any customer response, think twice, are you really saying what you want to say as a customer service person, or are you selling your soul to your company?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Also no reciept sent on renewal charge
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 05, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, June 05, 2013
Also if your comapany charging this renewal charge is totally legit why was there no reciept sent to my email when the money was charged off my card? Only by the grace of God the very next day I went into the bank to make a cash withdraw and realized this money was missing. Its as if if purposefully nothing was sent about the renewal charge with the hope that I didnt notice...I certainly did!

Funds reversed by bank and claim of fraud investigated
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 05, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, June 05, 2013
Though Live Career stands by there decietful tactics to charge consumers a outrageous fee for using there services one time under the false pretense that they are only spending 2.95 when really you will be charged in 13 days another fee of almost 40 bucks. My bank DID reverse the funds and ultimately recover the money stolen from my account by LIVE CAREER. You can keep up with this dirty method of doing business but as we all were taught as children HONESTY is always the best policy.
Instead of send the details of the addition 40 dollar charge with the 2.95 reciept to the customer it should be mentioned in BOLD print before any credit card numbers are given. We both know the reason you do not do it this way is because then no one would spend any money with this scam web site. This current method is considered fraud by my bank and I'm sure many others, my money has already been replaced wich your company refused to do so providing me with contact information is unecessary. I also cut the debit card your company decided was okay to save i your system and have a new one.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Wacky races
To life, the wackiest race of them all!
Now here's to the wacky races
that starts the day you're born
so great the need for survival
that in between you're torn
Then the race for much education
does it ever justify the cost?
after many years of education
loathe to admit that you're lost!!
then the race for remuneration
to sell the skills you acquired
be lost to the wheels of commerce
and that sleazy business attire
Then the race to have a family
to fulfil the need to conjugate
and spend a lifetime rearing
the next generation who hate
then the race to save your life
and all those fruitful years misspent
to yearn for the few quiet moments
alas, but death won't ever relent!!
In the end who won?
All that becomes of you
is a marker on a lonely grave
here lie the mortal remains
of yet another human slave!

As was the case with Rudy Rucker, Powers seemed a bit bemused about the term, although he's not dismissive of being included within the steampunk umbrella, or parasol. If steampunk is supposed to be a subgenre of science fiction, then Powers' contributions don't really belong, as they contain less science than space opera does. It's involves time-travel, so it ostensibly relates to Wells, but the time-travel of Anubis Gates is affected through a scientific manipulation of holes created by magic, so it's some unholy hybrid of fantasy with unexplained science, not a work of physical science. But as Powers stated during a panel at the Eaton conference, his books are more fantasy than they are science fiction, unless one allows for spiritualism as a form of science as it was in the late nineteenth century. Since The Anubis Gates takes place in the early nineteenth century, it found itself lumped in with the Victorian fantastic tales K.W. Jeter and James P. Blaylock were also writing in the '80s. And as such, it was included in Jeter's offhand remark in Locus which birthed the term steampunk. As such, it forms part of an original canon, a word I would hesitate to use, save for the fact that steampunk resists canonicity, and so to determine an aesthetic, one must posit some limiting boundaries. I posit that to determine what constitutes a steampunk work, the original texts must be used as measurements. I would include Moorcock's Nomad of the Time Streams in addition to the original trinity, and extend the same inclusion to Gibson and Sterling's Difference Engine. And, as will be established later, Powers' Anubis Gates does contribute to the aesthetic of current steampunk, whether the author knows it or not.
At its core, The Anubis Gates is an adventure story. Powers is not writing a novel of ideas here. This is not postmodern, Pynchonesque steampunk ala Against the Day. It is not even Moorcock's politically-charged steampunk as in Nomad of the Time Streams. It is pure adventure story, filled with whimsy, page-turning cliffhangers, and contrived coincidences which permit the hero to make it through his adventures alive, though certainly not unscathed. The protagonist of The Anumbis Gates, Professor Brendan Doyle, joins a host of pulp characters who can take a severe beating and keep on going--how he does so was one of the most enjoyable moments of the book for me. All this said, it is not garbage. Powers is a superior writer; he just happens to have no higher agenda, exemplified best by his comment at the Eaton conference regarding Dracula. He related how people often tell him Bram Stoker's novel is about the situation of women in the nineteenth century, to which he replies: "Really? I thought it was about a creature who stays immortal by drinking blood!"
The Anubis Gates follows this philosophy, stubbornly resisting any reading deeper than "the good guy is now trying to escape from the bad guy," or "the heroine is now trapped by the evil sorcerous clown." One might be able to draw pop culture influences, such as aforesaid sorcerous clown as a steampunk Joker, but Powers' originality resists these sorts of comparisons as well. Explaining The Anubis Gates is like explaining Stephenson's Snowcrash or Whedon's Firefly. One always ends up invoking comparisons, and then qualifying those comparisons, and then making a contrast instead, before giving up in frustration, thrusting the book or DVD out, and exclaiming, "Trust me--you'll just have to read/watch it!" Ultimately, one might say explaining The Anubis Gates is like explaining what steampunk is, which is always the challenge of defining any pastiche in a quick and dirty fashion. And perhaps that is the best reason for keeping The Anubis Gates as an example of what steampunk is.
This is related to why I haven't made any comments on the plot, which contains too many twists and turns to summarize without spoiling the fun of the novel (unlike my earlier review of Mainspring, The Anubis Gates contains a number of surprises for even the well-read and jaded connoisseur of the fantastic). The book jacket reads that "Only the dazzling imagination of Tim Powers could have assembled such an insane cast of characters: an ancient Egyptian sorcerer, a modern millionaire, a body-switching werewolf, a hideously deformed clown, a young woman disguised as a boy, a brainwashed Lord Byron, and finally, our hero, Professor Brendan Doyle," which is no summary whatsoever. It is merely a cataloguing of the motley cast of The Anubis Gates, which might very well be the only way to tantalize a potential reader without giving away the novel's surprises.
What it clearly reveals is that The Anubis Gates is unconcerned with industrial technology, but is focused rather on thaumaturgic technology: magic. While I can't cite the precise instances or conversations, there has been buzz amongst steampunk adherents in the past year or so that steampunk is beginning to appropriate more gothic elements, or a sort of Lovecraftian aesthetic. What The Anubis Gates reveals is that magic has always been part of the pastiche of steampunk--Doyle wonders at one point "how much of this Lovecraftian fantasy could be true" (120). Without belaboring the point, it must be remembered that magic is historically the precursor to science in Western culture. It is, if you will, proto-science, or even the science of its day. Accordingly, magic was a sort of technology in the Romantic, Victorian, and Edwardian period. Serious thinkers such as William Butler Yeats and Evelyn Underhill were joining groups like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The magic of these groups is precision ritual - a form of technology. The working magic of The Anubis Gates plays upon this real world analogy, but is as anachronistic as steam, aether, clockwork, or difference engine imaginings in steampunk texts.
I'm not arguing that all magic is steampunk then, but only certain types of magic, within a certain context. The Anubis Gates plays with Egyptian magic particularly, utilizing the nineteenth century's generation and then subsequent fascination with the mummy's curse, as evidenced in the research of Dominic Montserrat and Roger Lockhurst. Accordingly, it is "contemporary magic" for the nineteenth century, going so far as to behave within the boundaries of a nineteenth century worldview, since the binding of the ancient Egyptian gods seems to have had something to do with the rise of Christianity: "They reside now in the the Tuaut, the underworld, the gates of which have been held shut for eighteen centuries by some pressure I do not understand but which I am sure is linked with Christianity" (11). Again, I must qualify: I am not stating that steampunk magic must apply but such rules, but there is a verisimilitude gained in paying even only lip service to the vestiges of Christendom, if one wishes to write fiction taking place in the British Empire, or Colonial Europe in the nineteenth century. China Mievelle's Bas-Lag can be as godless as its author wishes it to be, since it is a secondary world which echoes, not emulates a Dickensian London. The setting of The Anubis Gates is London, and accordingly, despite potential differences accorded an alternate history, should reflect the reality of that historical setting.
All academic musings aside, The Anubis Gates is a humourous, light-hearted adventure with turns dark and dreary, whose plot centers around the heart of counter-factual questions, which is, what if? What if things had been different? What if, asks Doyle, my life had turned out differently? He asks this question of his own academic inquiry, the enigmatic poet William Ashbless: "And how was it in your day, William? Were the cigars and scotch and women any better?" Potentially, this is the question at the heart of steampunk: how was it in another day? Powers never really answers this question, but instead chronicles the fantastic pursuit of such an answer, which may be, aside from the artistic quality of the text, The Anubis Gates' secret to literary longevity. In only asking the question, it opens up the sense of possibility, which is ultimately what good speculative fiction does--it speculates, on the possibilities, and leaves the reader to ruminate on their own conclusions, be they high-minded and pedantic, or simply, "damn, that was a good book." My brother-in-law had the latter reaction. So much so, he wanted to pick it up and read it again immediately.
In writing this review, I'm feeling much the same way.

Take A Breather Foundation Raises $30,000 to Fund Wish for Children Living with Cystic Fibrosis
More than 200 people came out to support the First Annual Bowling For Breath Event held this past Saturday in Devon PA.
In addition to bowling, cocktails, dinner and a silent auction, the evening included remarks from Matt McCloskey, who spoke about living with cystic fibrosis for the past 45 years. "When I was born in 1968, the doctor told my parents that I was unlikely to live past grade school". Considering the bleak outlook I was given, I can say, I've lived a pretty great life" McCloskey said.
Matt McCloskey founded the TAB organization along with family and friends in 2012. The organization has granted over 100 Wishes and continues to reach out and touch those in the CF community.
The event raised over $30,000 which will provide a respite in the form of a wish for children who have been touched by Cystic Fibrosis. The goal is to allow these children, along with their families, to "take a breather" from CF and focus on creating lasting memories that will stay with them for a lifetime. Memories that will strengthen their hearts and minds as they battle the psychological, emotional and economic turmoil that accompanies life with Cystic Fibrosis.

Reds to loan out Le Tallec
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The young Frenchman has not been included in Liverpool's squad for their U.S. tour, as he tries to win a loan move for himself.
Benitez is ready to let him leave on loan, as he cannot guarantee him first team football and thinks he will benefit from a move.
"I talked with him. I wanted him to come here but he said that if there is not going to be many opportunities it might be better if he stayed behind and found a club to join on loan," said Benitez.
"We have four good forwards here. He is only 20 years old and perhaps it is good for him to go elsewhere in order to gain more experience.
"He is currently back in Liverpool and agents are working on his behalf to find the best club for him.
"If we return home and he still hasn't found a club, then I'll be happy for him to stay because I am happy with him. He's a good player and played very well against Wrexham.
"At his age, though, it's important to play and I understand his decision.
"The idea is, he goes away, plays more games and comes back a better player. If it works out like that it will be good for the player and for the club."
Le Tallec is expected to return to France for a season-long loan in a bid to gain more first team experience.
Benitez also believes possible new signing in Spanish defender Josemi will be a good addition to the squad, as he can play at full back or centre back.
"He has not signed for Liverpool and is not our player. This may change but that is the situation as it stands now," added Benitez.
"He's a right sided defender who can play full back or centre half and I think that is good that he can play in both positions."

Indiana lawmaker pushes to ban "spice"
Kevin Rader/Eyewitness News
Indianapolis - Indiana is leading the nation in the number of incidents involving synthetic marijuana. That reality is prompting one lawmaker to take action.
It all started with a group of teenagers getting together to try Spice, also known as K2. It is legal in Indiana.
"Sure, I'll try it. Why not?" said Derek McQueen. Fifteen minutes later the 21-year-old from Greenfield felt as though he was on fire.
"I just wanted it to stop. I was paranoid. Didn't know what to do so I ran into the kitchen grabbed a sharp object and tried to end it all," he said.
"Luckily I was there and able to help stop the bleeding or at least slow it down until Lifeline got there," said Annette Enge, his mother.
McQueen spent four days in intensive care and has the scars to prove it. Enge talked about how she felt when she realized the synthetic marijuana was legal.
"When I heard it was legal? Outraged. It needs to be banned," she said.
Rep. John Barnes says it is already banned in eight states and he wants to make Indiana the ninth.
"If this is incense then it's not fit for human consumption and you are selling it with rolling paper right in front of it. That is what we call a wink and a nod," said Barnes (D-District 89).
As of June 30th of this year, the 66 reported incidents in Indiana involving people from age six to 25 represents the largest number of K2-Spice cases in the United States, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers.
"It's a natural thing. Kids want to experiment. They think it's legal and so they say why not," said Julie Cope Saetre, Drug Free Indiana.
Derek McQueen will tell you why not.
"Try at your own risk," he said. "I just tried it as a one-time thing. Too much for me."
Suggested Links
Barnes says he is also asking the stores that sell the product to pull it from their shelves as a matter of safety in the short term but will be working for legislation to outlaw it in the long run.
Also, on Thursday, August 12th, Boone County Prosecutor Todd Meyer announced that his office has requested the Boone County Commissioners take immediate action to pass an ordinance banning the sale and consumption of K2/Spice in Boone County.
Prosecutor Meyer stated: "This office, in conjunction with the juvenile court and the juvenile probation department are starting to see an alarming number of young people testing positive for this substance - despite some reports to the contrary there now exists a method for testing for the substance within a person's body. In fact, this office's juvenile court deputy prosecutor referred to the numbers as evidence of an epidemic."

I just got another first-hand experience in the difficulty of trying to affect computing through social engineering. Our fax forwarding people do their forwarding based on the cover letter. Whoever is listed on the From: line gets a TIFF of the fax forwarded to their e-mail inbox. Normally, this works great. However, just a few minutes ago, a customer sent a fax where the cover letter just had a generic destination. Since there was an e-mail alias that matched this generic description, the fax got forwarded, and targeted literally thousands of people.
My first reaction was confusion, since I hadn't looked at who it was intended for. (After all, you usually don't get a fax to a distribution list.) I looked it over, and when it didn't make any sense I finally looked at who it was intended for. I laughed, and thought about all the confused souls out there who will be getting this too. Then, the inevitable happened. Someone replied to all, saying the fax wasn't meant for them. Then the flood of Me Too's came. It reminded me in a painful way of the Bedlam DL3 fiasco that happened right after I joined Microsoft 7 years ago. The Exchange team covers it in all its painful detail here.
People who have been here long enough, and are "technical" enough to know better, are just as guilty of replying to everyone as anyone else. In this case, the smaller scale, Exchange 2003 servers, and the quick action of others prevented the disaster that Bedlam caused. Still, I can't help but wonder how we're supposed to prevent people from taking self-damaging actions when it seems it's part of human nature to do so, and ignore the mistakes of the past.

Midnight: What The?
I heard something in the kitchen and just as I made it to the door some guy with wings flew over my head. I ducked just before he hit me. "What the heck?" I exclaimed "When did you get here?" I asked still not quite sure who this guy was because I had never seen him in my life and I didn't see him use the door so I was starting to really confuse myself.

Feds may protect bats hit by killer fungus
Duluth, Minn. (AP) — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has announced mounting evidence to protect two bat species hard-hit by a killer fungus called white nose syndrome.
The agency said this week that northern long-eared myotis bats, which are found in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and eastern small-footed myotis bats probably deserve federal protections under the Endangered Species Act.
Both species have small and declining populations but also have recently been among the many species of hibernating bats devastated by white nose syndrome, a relatively newfound fungus that has killed more than a million bats in eastern states and Canada in less than five years.
Fish and Wildlife Service officials also said they are collecting information on several other bat species that are dying from white nose syndrome to determine whether the disease may be increasing their extinction risk. Those include Minnesota's most common bat, the little brown myotis, which has been especially hard-hit by white nose syndrome in eastern states.
The agency also is looking at big brown, tri-colored, cave myotis and southeastern myotis for possible federal protection.
So far white nose syndrome, named for a white growth on the muzzle of stricken bats, has not been found in Minnesota or Wisconsin. But it has moved as close as Missouri, Indiana and eastern Ontario near Lake Superior since first being discovered near Albany, N.Y., in 2006.
It's believed the disease came to the U.S. from Europe and is causing a skin infection that destroys bat wings and causes bats to wake up during hibernation — when no insects are available to eat — with bats eventually succumbing to starvation, dehydration and the effects of the infection itself.
Because so many bats have died so quickly, with no end in sight, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has called white nose syndrome the "worst wildlife health crisis in memory."
Bats are considered an important part of many ecosystems, eating tons of insects in forested area such as the Northland. Some bats can eat their weight in mosquitoes each night. And such a rapid decline in any wildlife is considered alarming.
"Hibernating bats across the eastern U.S. are dying by the millions," said Mollie Matteson, conservation advocate for the Center for Biological Diversity, which petitioned the federal agency to protect the bats, on Tuesday. "We hope today's announcement will serve as a wakeup call for urgent action to save our bats."
The group said habitat loss, human disturbance in hibernation sites and pollution may also be affecting the bats.
Wildlife officials in both Minnesota and Wisconsin have formed plans to deal with the disease once it is found, although so far it has proved nearly 100 percent fatal with no known cure.
Gerda Nordquist, bat expert for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, said the northern long-eared myotis is not numerous in Minnesota but is found throughout the state. The species has been listed by Minnesota as a "special-concern species" since the state list was created.
If the federal government does give the two species endangered or threatened status, "Minnesota would likely upgrade the state status as well," Nordquist said. That means the species would have legal protection, which it currently does not have as a special-concern species.
Eastern small-footed myotis have not been documented in the state but have been found in Manitoba, so they could potentially be in Minnesota, she added.
The northern long-eared bat's range extends from eastern North America across to the Midwest and northward across Canada and, true to its name, has long ears that, when pointed forward, extend past the muzzle. It is strongly associated with older forests with big trees. The bats hibernate in caves and abandoned mines in winter, where they become susceptible to white nose syndrome because of bat-to-bat contact in close quarters.
This week's announcement is just the first step in a long process to formally list the two bat species as either threatened or endangered that will involve public comment and scientific review. Federal listing could protect habitat for the bats, including caves and abandoned mine shafts.
The Soudan mine shaft on the Iron Range is home to an estimated 10,000 bats.

text: It's no surprise that following a live performance fans will debate on whether or not the performer sang live. Following the end of the halftime show for the 2012 Super Bowl, some fans were wondering: Did Madonna lip sync? Countless stories have been written since about Madonna, 53, miming the words of her 12-minute halftime performance at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis while the Twitter world reveled in the fact that Madge's vocals for "Vogue," "Music," "Give Me Your Luvin'" and "Like a Prayer" were pre-taped. "The only thing Madonna proved during the Super Bowl 46 show is her irrelevance; the halftime show was so obviously lip synced that it was painful. Madonna, though, did lip sync perfectly in time, which is much easier said than done," SB Nation wrote Sunday evening. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/293656/20120206/madonna-lip-sync-halftime-super-bowl-video.htm

Clinicians are increasingly using electronic sources of evidence to support clinical decision-making; however, there are multiple demands on clinician time, and summarised and synthesised evidence is needed. Clinical Answers (CA) have been developed to address this need; the CA is a synthesised evidence-based summary that supports point-of-care clinical decision-making. The aim of this paper is to report on a survey used to test and improve the CA format.
An online survey was sent to pediatricians via e-mail and posted on a child health clinical standards website. Quantitative data analysis consisted primarily of descriptive statistics; qualitative data analysis consisted of content analysis.
Eighty-three pediatricians responded to the survey. Most respondents found the CA useful or very useful (93%) and agreed or strongly agreed that the layout was effective and allowed them to quickly locate critical information (82%). Quantitative and qualitative data suggested that respondents thought there should be less detail in the linked figures and tables (p = 0.0002), but overall respondents seemed to think there was an appropriate level of detail in most sections of the CA.
Based on the quantitative and qualitative survey responses, major and minor modifications to the CA format were implemented, such as removing forest plots, adding links in each addendum to bring the user back to the front page, and adding an 'Implications for practice' section to the CA. Findings suggest that CAs will be a useful tool for pediatricians; thus, the research team has now begun creating CAs to assist busy clinicians in their day-to-day clinical practice by providing high-quality information for decision-making at the point-of-care.

So, when their respective Fathers put their foot down on the marriage proposal, Vinod and Kalpana grew hostile to the world around. After a lot of agitaiton and cogitation, they decied to marry as their parents wished while at the same time took the vow that they would give hell to their respective spouses.

Asha started visiting clubs with another young man and sang and danced till late night, Vinod was a silent spectator. He was suspicious at first and then jealous. But what could he do? He was helpless. All these were due to the serious mistake, he made in understanding love and life.
