Hell HoundMature
I stared at Damien and Satan. There was nothing I could do. My powers were limited and I couldn't help Damien take on Satan. The scars on my back tingled as Satan took a step back.
"I have no time to waste on such a meaningless hell hound. Drake, come and take care of him for me," replied Satan turning his back. "Oh and once you've killed Damien, kill Lyekka as well."
I stared after Satan walking away behind the curtain Damien had come from. What an ass. I knew that he would change his mind about keeping me. It was expected of the devil.
"I'm going to enjoy killing you two," sneered Drake, taking a step forward.
I got up and stood by Damien's side. This wasn't that bad a fight. My powers could handle Drake. Maybe.
"Get out of here, Lyekka. Get to heaven," commanded Damien, pushing me back behind him. "I don't want you to get hurt."
"What? No! I'm going to fight along side you!" I argued, grabbing on to his arm.
Damien glared at me, but then turned his attention back to Drake. He was tensing up and the red was beginning to take over his eyes.
I backed away, giving him space. His true form was taking over. As he changed, I remembered why hell hounds were called what they were. Damien's face resembled that of a dog, but he had a longer snout and bigger teeth. His legs were long and muscular with claws that could cut through metal. I watched as his long ears pressed against his skull as he snarled and bared his teeth. His long tail twitched from side to side as he crouched. I couldn't help but stare at his striking red eyes against his black fur.
I had never seen a hell hound, but now that I was in the presence of one I felt fear. Although I knew it was Damien, I couldn't help but be frightened. A low hissing was now escaping his lungs and a line of spit was falling from his mouth. His lip was pulled back over his teeth and his nose was wrinkled in anger. He was the size of an SUV. It was amazing. The more I watched him the more frightened I became. His teeth looked like they could rip through any amount of human flesh. I backed up, pressing my back against the stone wall.
"How did you do that without your wings, Damien?" Drake asked, bewildered.
Damien let out a ferocious bark and took a step forward.
"No matter. I'll still kill you," replied Drake, charging with incredible speed.
I watched in horror as Drake nearly clawed Damien's side. The memory of Drake killing me came back to my mind. Only...he hadn't really killed me. I had managed to hold on to life long enough to be knocked down to Earth. He was fast then. The same couldn't be said for Damien though. I had no memories of him. We hadn't met back then although I heard his name. All I remembered was that he was Angy's secret lover.
Damien yelped in pain as Drake caught his back. He reached his head around and clamped his jaw down on Drake's arm. He shook his head trying to wretch the arm from the socket.
"Damien, watch out!" I screamed, running to him.
Drake slashed Damien's stomach with his other hand.
Damien rolled away and let out a long howl in pain. He looked like his was unconscious as I ran to him.
Stupid move.
Drake launched his self at me and knocked me to the ground. He pinned me down and laughed in my face. His foul breath made my eyes water and his weight was crushing my stomach. I tried to use some of my power, but it was useless against him. My powers were weaker than I thought. He leaned in close to me and licked my cheek.
"Ugh! Get off of me, you fat bastard!" I screamed, sending him another jolt of power.
This power was more powerful than the other attempt. It sent him flying through the air. I took the chance to run back to Damien.
"Damien? Damien!" I yelled, shaking his crumpled body. "Sweetie, you have to get up!"
Then I felt rough hands around my throat, throwing me across the room. I hit the wall hard and the strap of my dress ripped. My heels broke and my hair was in a mess. I took my heels off and threw them at Drake.
"Those were expensive!" I shouted, sending another blast of energy at him.
It missed and he was on me in seconds. He grabbed my throat and clenched his hands, cutting off my air way.
I gasped for air and clawed at his arms. Damien's body was still across the room and I knew that he was alive. He had to be. There was no way that Drake could have killed him that easily.
"Any last words?" he crowed sadistically.
"Damien! Damien, please get up! I love you!" I shouted painfully, feeling my vision starting to fade.
Drake laughed at my pathetic yell and proceeded to raise a hand.
This was it. He was going to kill me and doom me to roam as a lost soul. All my memories as a human returned to me. Growing up with my so called parents and going to school. Even though the people there hurt me constantly, I wanted to go back. All the times that Jen and Megan had slept over flowed in along with the memories. Then I remembered going to the beach with my mother and father. The bonfire warming us up at night and filling the air with that campfire smell.
That smell. Damien smelled like campfire. The memory of meeting Damien filled my mind now, taking over the rest of my memories. His muscular body and his half smile filled my mind. The second time he had slept over at my house with his arm wrapped around me gently protecting me. Then the carnival. Him riding the rides with me and laughing. Teasing me when I lost at the game booths. Then the Ferris wheel at the end of the night. Me resting against him in the cold night air. The lights from the ride lighting up his already beautiful eyes.
And his lips. His soft, firm lips against mine. Our tongues entangling together and the feeling of his hand against the small of my back. My body pressed against his in an embrace. The necklace that was against my neck now, pressing into my skin was against his neck as he laid there. His symbol of love for me. All that passed in a small amount of time as I was about to die.
Suddenly the pressure on my throat released and I fell to the ground, choking. As I gasped for air, I heard screams from Drake. I looked over to see Damien ripping him apart. Blood flowed on the ground and stained the stone floor. When Drake was finally dead, Damien limped over to a stone bowl filled with water and rinsed his mouth up. Then he turned to me, ears up, tail wagging, and stepped forward. I backed up hesitantly, still holding my throat.
Damien's tail ceased and dropped to the floor. His ears drooped low, touching the ground as he hung his head. He whimpered an whined.
I got up and approached him carefully. As I got near I could see that he was just a big puppy. I reached my hand out and laid it against his forehead. The whimpering stopped and he looked up. I hugged his large snout and cried. I had almost lost him. The necklace around his neck clinked against mine. I locked them together and returned to hugging him. He licked my face gently and sighed loudly.
"No!" a loud voice boomed. "This can't be happening! You were supposed to die!"
We both turned to see Satan coming out from behind the curtain. Out necklaces unlocked as Damien nuzzled me behind him. He wrapped his tail around me protectively and growled at Satan.
"That will be enough, Lucifer!" shouted a large booming voice.
The voice sounded familiar to me and I instantly became brave. There was no need to fear this voice. It was God. He was going to help us now.
Satan hissed and backed away from us. He ran behind the curtain and yelled for us to leave.
We were transported somewhere else now. This time we were in heaven. A familiar place that I hadn't seen in forever. Damien clutched my hand and smiled at me. He was "human" again. I smiled and leaned against him happily. Then a coolness touched my back. Shocked, I touched where my scars were and found wings. I looked at Damien and found his wings had been returned, but they were not black anymore. They were white like mine.
"Lyekka, it's great to have you back."
I looked at Damien and then sighed.
"I love being an angel, God. But I think that I've become accustomed to the human life. Can I...go back and live out that life?" I asked, looking to Damien for support.
"Me too, sir," stated Damien, smiling down at me.
"As you wish. You two have very promising lives ahead of you."
Damien and I looked at each other and smiled brightly. We spoke at the same time.
"We know."

Shelley Murphy and Kevin Cullen cut their teeth at

Eden has slowly been getting better at the piano thanks to her teacher Ike. When he shows up for one of her final lessons, the piano is sounding horrible. He has to tune it! Too bad Eden has no interest in that. Since her parents are gone, she would much rather have Ike tune her pussy and let her practice blowjobs instead. She played with Ikes dick better than she ever played the piano in her whole life! Ikes dick was shivering with pleasure from the sheer warmth of Edens hot throat hole. Then Eden wanted it in her pussy, and Ike supplied her with it faster than you could say do re mi fa so la ti do. After a good fucking and an intense cumming, this lesson was complete. Ike played his walk out song on the keys and left Eden to her lonesome, counting down the minutes until next weeks lesson.

Can you solve this in 5 seconds? Your child can – at Math Monkey!
What is Math Monkey?
Math Monkey is a Learner Centric enrichment centre which facilitates kids to develop Brain Abilities through Vedic Math, in a Play To Learn environment.
What is MathBrain?
MathBrain is the ability to:
- gather accurate information from a math problem,
- understand the relationship between numbers and numerical symbols,
- figure out the various possible ways to solve the problem,
- apply appropriate formula to solve the problem,
- accurately and speedily.
The 5 Brain Abilities
In Math Monkey, we work along the brain's natural learning process through our unique games-based curriculum to engage and train the five major brain abilities.
- Attention: The ability to focus and concentrate
- Visual: How the brain visualises information and recognises patterns
- Logic Reasoning: How the brain makes rational sense of collected information
- Memory: How the brain stores and retrieves information or formulas
- Processing Speed: The speed in which the brain gives meaning to collected information.
How does the brain work?
|A child has 10 candies. He can exchange 2 empty candy wraps to get 1 candy. What is the total number of candies this child can have?
- We know that we have 10 candies at the beginning and we can exchange 2 empty candy wraps to get 1 candy. (Gathering information → attention)
- We need to understand that we can keep exchanging until only 1 empty candy wrap is left. (Understanding → visualization)
- We need to use our memory and logic to hold the data and process.
- Output / Answer should be correct. (Speed)
What is Vedic Math?
Vedic Math allows children to simplify a math problem to a level that they can master.
Example of Vedic Math
2 3 x 1 1 = ?
In how many ways can you solve this?
Method 1 – The Traditional method
Method 2 – Repeated Addition method (a)
23 + 23 + …… + 23 = 253
Method 3 – Repeated Addition method (b)
11 + 11 +11 + … + 11 = 253
Method 4 – Break-it-up method (a)
Method 5 – Break-it-up method (b)
Method 6 – The Math Monkey method (Vedic – vertically crosswise)
Method 7 – The Math Monkey method (Vedic – Magic 11)
How Does Learning Vedic Math help your child's MathBrain development?

Cold BiteMature
The cover of the trees began to thicken up towards Alkirk. While the team stepped through the forest each one bustled and clunk more so than the last. Al swore and grunted with every bump that the squad scrambled over, and each time those curses came splattering out John clasped his hands over his son's ears, being sure to keep quiet and patient.
The biting cold bore down on them and as John held his son's hand they began to shake and shiver in the chill. There were no spare blankets to keep him warm, but John looked on sympathetically and wrapped his own duvet cloak around him. Jonathon was small and the cold rushed through him faster.
The day seemed to be getting duller and duller. Though the sun glowed heavily above their heads, the dark black clouds became thick and brutal. While they dragged on, Jonathon began to quietly whine about the cold, his sore legs and his aching back.
John was considering carrying him, but was still unsure of his own capabilities to carrying to growing boy. Then, much to the despair of the group, a twig snapped under Jonathon's foot and his ankle rolled in its socket, making an unpleasant crunch as the muscles in his legs stretched. His despairing cries rocketed through the forest and John immediately slapped a hand around his son's wailing mouth.
"Jonathon, you have to be quiet," he whispered. Through blurry eyes and uncontrollable sobs, Jonathon nodded.
The group watched on and began making themselves comfortable in the misty grove as John sat his son down on the mess of tree roots and pulled up his pant leg. His ankle had already begun swelling up to the size of an apple and a grazed scratch ran up his leg, staining his sock red with blood.

Ocean Discovery Institute uses ocean science to engage young people from urban underserved backgrounds and empowers them to transform their lives, their community, and ultimately our world as scientific and environmental leaders.
Our model focuses on a single geographic area - a ""school-shed"" - in order to maximize the impact of our work. Our work is focused on the community of City Heights, a densely urbanized community of nearly 80,000 people. The community has a 38% poverty rate and more than 97% of children in the community are eligible for federal free lunch programs. City Heights exhibits cultural and ethnic diversity with over 30 languages spoken and an ethnic breakdown of 59% Hispanic, 11% African-American, 11% Asian-American, 3.5% Caucasian, and 15.5% other.

How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
Our students defy the odds because people like you believe in them. And because of this, they are able to find what we call their ""spark"" - making first-hand discoveries, field research, making a difference - and they then believe in themselves. This belief enables them to overcome incredible challenges and achieve. Our students show increased science test scores, attend 4-year universities at a rate of 8 out of 10 (as compared to 3 out of 10 of their peers), and are entering the science and environmental workforce at unprecedented rates. Ocean Discovery Institute is now a national model for preparing individuals, from the most underrepresented groups and fastest growing demographic in the nation, to become the scientific leaders - leaders who will develop the solutions needed for today's and tomorrow's challenges. Twelve years after our founding, Ocean Discovery Institute was awarded The White House's Presidential Award for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. When we accepted this recognition in the Oval Office, we did so, on behalf of courageous contributors who believed that transforming young lives through science would ultimately transform our communities and our world. In the last year, we have launched a replication effort to provide our model to young people in the Chesapeake Bay area and secured $12 million in capital support to create a landmark science and conservation facility in the heart of the underserved community we serve. The creation of our Living Lab facility is a cornerstone of our next phase of growth and will enable us to quadruple the number of young people engaging and create expectations for the highest achievement. We now enter a critical period for organizational development. During the next three years, we will focus on increasing impacts, improving efficiency, remaining at the forefront of innovation in our field, and providing the greatest return on investment for our supporters. To be successful, we must:
* Grow leadership to affect scaling locally and nationally
* Develop financial strength to have necessary resources to support exemplary impacts today and tomorrow
* Build systems to increase efficiency and enable expansion
* Solidify our exceptional programs and longitudinal measurement to increase impact and transferability

Funding Needs
Our top 3 needs are as follows: 1. Financial investment to advance our funding model. Why: Our funding model now needs the same level of attention provided to our programs in order build financial strength for the near and long term. Over the past 13 years, we have been successful in annually growing funds raised. We need to leverage strengths to become equally as exceptional at affording our work as we are at executing programs and creating impact. 2. Membership in our Visionary Community. Why: At Ocean Discovery, we understand the power of collective impact. We are working to harness that power by cultivating a new group of supporters for the organization; our Visionary Community. Through automatic monthly contributions, our Visionary Community members are giving opportunity to the next generation of science and environmental leaders. Already over 30 individuals have joined this community. These individuals, who are giving anywhere from $10 to $100 per month, have become part of something really special. They are living proof that a little can go a long way. We need you to join this community and see the impacts of your investment first-hand. 3. Financial investment to expand evaluation to integrate longitudinal impact. Why: Our programs have demonstrated significant outcomes - from increasing science test scores to 7 out of 10 after-school program graduates majoring in the sciences. There is currently a need to extend our evaluation to include longer term data sets. For example, our students are now graduating from college and entering the workforce where we can track their progress and evaluating students' achievement in school post-program involvement can shed light on program outcomes.

Articles about reggae music, reviews, interviews, reports and more...
If the launch of Rebel Salute 2012 is anything to go by then the 19th staging of one of the most conscious reggae shows on the musical calendar will be a stellar event.
Held at the Wyndham Kingston, the prelude was like a meeting concert in itself as several artistes turned out to show their support for Tony Rebel and his Flames Production Company.
The show is scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 14th at the Port Kaiser Sports Complex, St. Elizabeth.
As this is the 50th anniversary of Jamaica's Independence the promoters plan to pull out all the stops to make this staging a memorable one.
Artistes who are scheduled to perform some of whom will be gracing the stage for the first time or the first in a long while are Mikey Spice, Johnny Osbourne, Max Romeo, Yami Bolo, Eric Donaldson and C-Sharp Band.
Other big acts expected include Tarrus Riley, Johnny Clarke, Queen Ifrica, Capleton, Stephen Marley, Luciano, Maxi Priest and Edi Fitzroy to name a few.
If you are ever in Jamaica, this event is a must.

Hala Madrid! This sunny and warm city welcomes you on your new academic adventure, and what a wonderful city you have chosen to study in! Now let's make sure you're settled into a comfy place that will put you near IE University - Madrid Campus and other key points of interest such as Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales. You'll also be quite close cafes, bars, shops and typical restaurants, as well as several public transport links such as República Argentina metro station.
This studio has a bedroom area that can also be used as living room area, a bathroom and a kitchen. So, in short, a homely and well-located place within reach of everything you need. What's not to love right? Go for it!
Because this new chapter of your life starts here!
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have not verified this property yet. We are working on having it fully verified as soon as possible.
Getting Around
Your new neighbourhood
El Viso
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Ok so after much experimenting on removing add-ons to solve a "Grey Unknown Toolbar" Issue. I've been trying to resolve to remove a particular Grey 50% transparent bar at the bottom of the screen, overlapping the XP and the Reputation bars. And the one add-on that seems to have an effect on it by removing and adding is this one... What can I click to remove or change transparency to 100%?
I've got the Raid Frame package from http://www.curse.com/addon-packs/wow/raid-frames-1365. Please message me if you know how to fix it.

Since I ordered this mask on sales, I'm 100% satisfied with this one. It makes my skin fresh and clean without any irritation or causing redness. For the quite high price, I give 4 stars(I don't buy gel type mask on regular bases). But the quality is great.
Not great

I noticed that the woman in my salon uses these products and she mentioned that I could use a mask and facial. This product doesn't substitute for a facialist but it does make my skin feel smoother. So it's a good substitute for having a full facial.

Summary: Leo has to face one of his most fearsome challenges yet.
Author's Notes: One-shot written for the Untimate Fanfic challenge, with no seriousness whatsoever involved. To see all the other fics that I've posted, follow the link on my author's page to my LiveJournal. Enjoy!
Leonardo had fought off hordes of foot soldiers at a time, gone hand to hand with the Shredder, Hun, and Karai multiple times and survived against all odds. He was at the peak of his training, much more advanced than any of his brothers. He was an unstoppable machine. No one who dared to challenge him left the fight unscathed. No fight, no challenge, no contest was too much for him to accomplish.
Except, perhaps, for this one.
Mikey had requested a morning off of cooking duty, and no one else had wanted to take a turn… So Leonardo had volunteered.
"You sure you wanna do this, bro? You're looking a little green." Mikey had quipped at him before making a quick exit. Leo snorted. Michaelangelo was just being obnoxious. He could SO do this. He was good at everything else, so this should be a snap.
Yes. A snap.
He glared at a slightly dented frying pan stubbornly. This time, it'll be different. He told himself. Never again would he have to retreat in shame from the kitchen, chased out of the room by clouds of billowing smoke and horrific smells.
Never again.
With a determined face took a deep breath, reached forward to grab the handle of the pan, and got to work.
Ten minutes later, he sat in the infirmary nursing a pair of scalded hands. Beyond the doorway, he could hear the sounds of a minor battle taking place as Donatello and Mikey tried to contain the small explosion that had occurred when he attempted to cook eggs and potatoes at the same time- in the microwave.
He scowled at the memory. It had seemed like a good idea at the time… and he had been so sure that he had seen Michaelangelo do the exact same thing only a few days before.
He looked up as Mikey walked into the room. His eyes widened in surprise as the younger turtle stormed up to him brandishing what was left of a metal spoon.
"I used to call myself a reasonable turtle, dude, but enough is enough. This is what, the THIRD time you've trashed the microwave?"
"In my defense, the last time it was Raph's fault." Leo said sulkily.
Mike rolled his eyes and growled out, "Yeah, but you told him that aluminum foil was supposed to do that when it got nuked." He poked Leo in the plastron with the charred spoon, accentuating each word with a fervent stab. "You. Are. A. Menace!" The metal crumbled to ash with the last word, and Leo hastily moved his throbbing hands so they wouldn't be touched by any of the falling debris. Mike looked at the handle of the spoon that he still held in his hand, then shook his head.
"Okay, dude, I hate to say this, but you're fired. Just… don't do kitchen stuff anymore, okay?"
Leo snapped his head up. Failure! NEVER!
"Dude, have you seen the kitchen since you blew it up!" Leo hadn't, but it had been hard to see through the ominous clouds of sickly green and black smoke that had erupted from the microwave just after the door blew off. "You're cursed, bro. Just accept it and move on. It'll be better for all of us."
"Mikey! I could use some help in- AHH!" The loud metallic clang that followed Don's anguished yell caused Michaelangelo to run from the room without another word to his depressed brother.
Leo was left alone with this thoughts… and the frying pan, one of the few things salvaged from the battle-zone that was the kitchen.
He gave it the evil eye. Yes, he had failed. It was a stain on his honor that he just couldn't accept. But at the same time… he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Cooking was hard.

About Me
I am a partner in the UK mens underwear retail site www.deadgoodundies.com
Although we started off using a professional photographer for our shoots (as a lot of the brands we sell don't provide their own imagery) we soon found that the costs for doing so prohibitive.
As a result I now do our own shoots and although im the first to admit they are not to the same standard as the pro's I see it as a continuous learning curve and I whilst the majority of our shots are just product shots using live models i've found it an interesting experience in experimenting with lights and moods in the limited space I have to work with.
Although I still class myself as a beginner I am happy to announce that some of my work has been used by the brands themselves in promotion of their underwear so also has a much wider audience other than just what we bring to the table.
We provide underwear and swimwear to lots of photographers, stylists and models here on MM so if you are looking for something in particular let us know and we can work out a deal with you

Statistically speaking - in San Diego County the rate of DUI conviction is upwards of 90+%. (You can looking it up yourself in the DMV DUI MIS report published each year.) (http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/about/profile/rd/r_d_report/Section_5/S5-236.pdf) You should also be aware - there are over 15,000 people arrested each year in San Diego for DUI. So, the "99%" cited in the UT is a bit off. (Not surprised - most prosecutors don't even know about the DMV MIS report.)
Checkpoints are "tricky" - especially for the prosecution. There are some pretty set rules handed down by the US and Cal Supreme Courts on checkpoints and how they should be operated. If they are not operated in accordance with those rules, then they violate the 4th Amendment. (You want to ask for an "Ingersoll package" during discovery.)
Based upon your facts, you didn't even enter the checkpoint. So, this means the cops need an independent "probably cause" basis for DETAINING you. (Being stopped in a red zone can prove to be such a reason.) Note: the cops (and the prosecutor) will claim the initial contact was consensual under the law, and they could be correct.
If you really want to know if you have a shot at being one of the "10%" (about 1,500 a year), then you're going to need to have a more detailed discussion with a local, qualified DUI attorney. Many of us offer free initial consultations. If nothing else, you'll come away better informed and better able to make a judgment about your course of action.
Oh, and remember - request you DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest!
good luckSee question
My public defender recommended me to take the jail time over the community labor and they gave me extra ten days on top of the 24 for the refusal to be stricken. How much time will i actually do. I am so scared I will lose my job. I turn myself in...
34 days = 17 actual, by statute. Plus, if you were booked at the time of the offense, you get a day of credit there as well. (and it would be 1 day = 2 days; so now you're looking at 15 or 16 actual.)
You may get just a book & release; you may get work furlough; you may get weekend work crew. A lot depends on how many bunks are available when you arrive. (and the answer to that is usually, "slim to none.")
Can you go back and ask for a change? Yes, but since you're supposed to turn yourself in on Friday, you'd be hard pressed to get on calendar that quickly.
Good luck.See question
I have heard different stories. Want to know
In almost all instances - yes. Plead guilty and go have a drink.
The only limitation maybe that put in place by the terms of your probation. As Messrs. Freemont & Murillo correctly pointed out: such limitations don't usually come up until you're dealing with "habitual offender" type of convictions. Other times similar terms are seen is if you're in a "DUI Court" type of program (OC has one, Riverside does not.)
You have to agree to give up your freedom of association and assembly (1st Amendment), and that includes the freedom to associate and assemble in a bar. Hence, a "no bar visiting" term of probation can only be valid if you agreed to it. (Of course, if you refuse to agree to such a term, you can expect a court to impose more onerous terms.)See question
I got a dui when I was 19, I never went to court and I never got convicted, however my liscence remained suspended for 1 year, I had not realized I never got a dui but I still went and got a sr22. Well now im 21 and I unfortunately got another dui...
I'm going to take a slightly different tact here. Why exactly was you license suspended when you were 19? Here's what I'm thinking: You say you got a "DUI", but you never went to court or got convicted. Therefore, you didn't get a "DUI" (as the criminal convictions are commonly called.) Yes, you almost definitely got a 1 year suspension from the DMV for conduct equivalent to CVC23136. That's an administrative act by the DMV. (See CVC 13353.3(b)(3)) IF this is is the case, then the question becomes, "how does the DMV view/treat this 1st criminal DUI?"
Per 13352 - the term of suspension is contingent upon the penalty imposed by the court. So, if the court imposes a "first DUI" penalty (which it would be bound to do if there is no "prior" conviction), then the DMV has to take action commensurate with a "first DUI" (as opposed to a second.)
Rather than keep going on, because this discussion is really dependent upon what/why was done to your driving privilege when you were 19, I'd suggest you find out exactly what the reason for suspension was 2 years ago, and then work forward through the labyrinth of the vehicle code once you have that information in hand.
Good luck.
(Oh, and don't expect the DMV to immediately follow the statutory process of its own accord. You're going to have to fight for this one, assuming you have a shot.)
I felt to sleep in a parking lot with the car off ,police came did sobriety test,blood test and gave me a DUI citation.What will I be expecting this time in court.I took care of the two previous dui and no probation.
IF you get charged, it will be as a second DUI, not a third. DUI priors are measured by offense date. So, an offense in 1999 became "non-chargeable" in 2009. (Of course, should the case go forward, the DA can still use the fact of the prior as an argument in aggravation.)
If you do get a second...well, you've been there before (in 2005.) You can expect the costs (fines and such) to be a bit higher given the passage of seven years.
As my colleagues have pointed out - you may have a "no driving" defense given the facts you related. Even if it doesn't amount to an "total defense," a good attorney may be able to argue it to your advantage with the DA and try for a 1st instead of a 2nd. (thing of it as a bargaining chip as opposed to a full on defense.)
You should consult with some local, qualified attorneys. You can find many hear on Avvo who offer free consultations. You may end up getting some good news, at the very least you'll be better informed.
Good luck.See question
MOTION PURSUANT TO PC 1538.5 - how many times can an attorney request this - then it goes to pretrail conference for a DUI - the DUI was back in May - and now has been extended to the end of January - can you tell me why they keep doing this? Want...
You get one shot at a 1538.5. It must be in writing, and it must set forth specifically what is sought to be suppressed (along with a concise statement of facts and pertinent law.)
Why a case gets continued multiple times can have a thousand of more answers. Your attorney is the best source of information as to why YOUR case is getting continued. It could be as straight forward as "The prosecutors rotate assignments come Jan 1., and I want to see if we can get a more reasonable prosecutor before we move forward." (Of course, I'm just guessing, but....)See question
If I am supposed to be working abroad and I don't have my court date until late February is there a way to start taking my DUI programs asap? is there a way to postpone the classes? and is there a way to push my court date up? I am supposed to be ...
When you can start classes and receive credit is really a statutory issue.
You're probably going to fall under CVC 13352. You want to look at 13352(a)(1), last two sentences:
"For the purposes of this paragraph, enrollment in, participation in, and completion of an approved program shall be subsequent to the date of the current violation. Credit shall not be
given to any program activities completed prior to the date of the current violation."
Translation - if you start before you get a violation (right? who would? but you'd be surprised), you get no credit, but it you start after the violation, even if it is before the DMV or court proceedings, then you are entitled to credit for time spent in the program.
There are some DDP providers who will not accept you without a court order. If this happens, go looking for another provider. (You can find a list of approved providers on the DMV website at: http://www.adp.ca.gov/Criminal_Justice/DUI/pdf/DUI_dir.pdf)
Good luck.
(Oh, and like the others have said, you can hire a private attorney to appear for you to handle the matter while you get on with life.)
i have a court date tomorrow at west in oc for a second dui, I went on oct. 31 for the arraigment and asked to continue to seek an attorney, because I've been told I could lessen at least jail time with the right attorney..I haven't been able to ...
1. You need to appear. So, that is something you definitely should do.
2. If you are going to ask for another extension, then you need to be prepared to explain to the judge what you have been doing to get an attorney for the past 3 weeks.
3. Expect the court to not grant another extension, but appoint the public defender (or at least refer you over to the PD for a "needs review.")
Courts are measured on how quickly they move cases through. That's not to say they are not interested in justice, only that they don't want cases hanging around unnecessarily. Courts will usually grant one continuance of the arraignment, but not two.
Good luck.See question
What am i to expect? could this violate my suspension or does it work more like a toll in the sense where theres just a fine? I'm scared, any insight would be helpful.
OK, let's break this down.
1. You're driving on a suspended license. That is a 14601.* crime. (What section depends on why your license was suspended in the first place.) So, there is a possibility of your being charged with a misdemeanor for driving on a suspended license. HOWEVER, that would mean someone would have to review not only the "got flashed" offense, but also your driving record and make the connection. You should know that most "photo offenses" are outsourced to private companies for review and filing. (Many are based in AZ.) Thus, the connection of "you" and "your driving record" to the "photo" is going to require some legwork by a group that may not be inclined (or even aware) to do so.
2. You have a "photo" traffic offense. Often, these are just infractions. (Is this a red light camera or a speed camera?) Again, these are often processed not by law enforcement but private companies. AND, they way it is often done is by connecting the license plate to the registered owner - not the facial recognition of the driver. And, as we all know, the actual driver is often not the registered owner. (I know of one judge who says "show me the picture, if it is not you, then I am NOT going to ask you to tell me who it is.")
3. "Photo" infractions have major evidence law flaws in them. You might want to take a look at some of the cases involving photo cases. (Start with People v Goldsmith) Most of them that resulted in conviction involved some sort of human (police) testimony as to the proper functioning of the device and traffic signals. Without that actual, in court testimony (yes, that means you have to request a trial) the photo is often not enough to sustain a conviction.
Here's the other thing - if all you get is a "photo" infraction citation - and you plead to it - then the state may be barred from pursuing any 14601 violation is later comes up with. The basis for the bar on further prosecution is 654pc and "double jeopardy." By issuing a infraction citation without an accompanying 14601 charge, the state "elected" to pursue only one of the possible offenses you face. When you plead guilty to it and pay the fine, the state is then barred from coming back and saying, "oh, we meant to include this as well." (They may try, but the case law is against them.)
So, you should just wait to see what turns up in the mail. (Your best bet? You're not the registered owner. Then, all you have to do is keep the RO from tattling on you.)
Good luckSee question
I've had friends mention character letters and neuro-psychiatric evaluations. Can anyone elaborate on these two and offer any other helpful measures for getting the sentence lowered? I've been in rehab and I do have cognitive/psychological conditi...
To get a nuero-psych eval you should talk to your primary care physician and start the process that way. A cognitive/psychological condition "that can be argued to have influenced the car accident in context" can also be used to argue why you should never have been behind the wheel in the first place. So, you should expect that to be turned around on you.
A second with GBI = mandatory sentencing. I am guessing you were convicted of a 23153VC as a felony with a 12022.7 allegation. The 12022.7 (GBI) is going to carry a 3 yr sentence. About all you can hope for is the court stays (not strikes) the imposition of that time. However, to do so, the court is going to have to go on the record and state the compelling reasons for its staying the time. (Most courts are loathe to do so.) GBIs are pretty much viewed as "mandatory" time that must be imposed in almost all instances. So, you're really working to lower the base sentence on the 23153 - and that's 16 months. You'll probably get the low term of 16 months without having to do much, but staying the GBI is going to be very difficult. (Sorry, that's usually the way it is. And, if the GBI was to a 3rd party (someone not your passenger), then you really have an uphill battle.) Because of the GBI you will be limited to 15% good time credits.
As my colleagues have pointed out - you probably have an attorney already. You really need to be discussing these issues with him/her.See question

text: NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Offshore Oil and Gas Industry in Russia and CIS: Outlook to 2022 http://www.reportlinker.com/p01543946/Offshore-Oil-and-Gas-Industry-in-Russia-and-CIS-Outlook-to-2022.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Oil_and_Gas_energy The purpose of this research report is to analyze offshore production projects based in Russia, CIS countries and Georgia in the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Baltic Sea, in the Russian Arctic and Far East shelf. Since 2005, RPI has systematically analyzed the status of offshore projects. Indeed, this is the fourth time this report has been updated with the latest editions focusing on the requirements of production companies for technological equipment and services provided by contractors. Each successive edition builds on the cumulative knowledge base and data gleaned in the process of ongoing oil and gas market research. The latest report on offshore hydrocarbon production projects was issued at the beginning of 2012. Thus, although only a little more than a year has passed since the last report, we decided it was time to update the topic of offshore O&G production. The reason for this was a major shift in the financial and technological implementation of many projects, as well as licensing and legislative regulation of projects, first and foremost, in Russia. Since the last update, many projects have been closed or rolled back, other projects have been unexpectedly resumed, many field licenses have been issued to subsoil users, while sweeping legislative and taxation amendments have also been made. Specifically, such high-profile projects as Kashagan are finally due to start up in the Caspian Sea and the Prirazlomnoye field in the Russian Arctic in 2013, while several large international companies commenced operations on the Russian shelf in 2012-2013, thus rapidly propelling the development of license blocks. The report again devotes special attention to such key project issues as timelines for implementation, drilling volumes and platform requirements, since this approach makes it possible to assess the value of the market and other types of oil and gas equipment.

Parallax Video Art v1
So the art has changed considerably from when I first started but.... the idea is that we will use a script and mimic the common parallaxed video for the lore. I figure I can make some quick sketches and put them together to make a very good lore set.... that will explain the story and save us time of trying to do all the animations and such.
The purpose of these videos is to increase the awareness of the depth of our game as well as enrich the player experience with the development process. As an additive bonus these art pieces will be part of the kickstarter project as well as the art book that we will be creating. Right now I have completed two of the 15 images needed to make the first video. The script from that video is here:
In a universe beset by chaos and uncertainty, an unexpected guest to the realm of Valor would forever change the course of destiny
Saldarine, a mighty being of untold power, by pure circumstance would find himself upon this realm.
His first creation would be the dwarves. Born in the depths of Mount Duralth these beasts would be cast amongst fire and stone.
Uneasy and uncertain as to what steps to take next, Saldarine would fulfill a desire to be connected with his creations.
It is from this thought that the idea of a stone to control all beings would be born, and from that day forward the stone would be known as the, "Source Stone"
Time would pass and what seemed to be only a matter of moments would fade into a millennium. The Realm of Valor vastly different from the days of old.
Life was thriving in the Realm of Valor and the chaos that once plagued the land has subsided.
The realm would flourish and Saldarine would grow closer to his creations because of it. He had chosen an Avatar in which he would call his son. Trabior
As with all things that obtain ultimate power if the vessel in which the power is bestowed is not worthy it will turn to corruption.
Trabior, sick with power would fall from his father's grace.
Saldarine, desperate to reach his son before it was too late attempted to curb his behavior and persuade him from the side of evil.
Yet all the power in the realms could not bring Trabior to reason and Saldarine was left to weep for favored son was no longer his.
As any father might feel towards a son, Saldarine could not bring himself to end Trabiors life. Instead he sought to correct the problem in another way.
Trabior gained his powers from Saldarine himself. If Saldarine was to sever that bond and remove himself from the realm than his son, no matter how corrupt and void of reason, could no longer terrorize the world.
Desperate, Saldarine would bind his essence into 7 books thus removing himself from the realm. These books would be later called "The Source of it All".
Each of the seven volumes containing a different reading that when spoken together could bring back the father of us all.
I have gone through several iterations to get to where I am now with the second one... but I think I am close to finished.
Last but certainly not least, our AI has been playful and enjoyable to work with. Telanor has them attacking and following you as well as following wavepoints created or dropped by an admin. There is some tweaking needed for sure but the basics are there. During some of the testing I spawned 15 of those little buggers and they started to from a gorgane pyramid to punch my face! It was cool because they got stuck on a ridge and then jumped on top of their head. At that point they started jumping up and down while on top of one another to launch themselves at me... it was.... not planned nor was it coded that way but god damn if it didnt look like they were intelligent!
On the backend we have been cleaning up the network code as well as working on finishing the marching cubes algorithm implementation. We have learned the process requires octrees but for us to get this out in time for a late may or early june kickstarter we do not have the time to add octrees. *shrugs* oh well... we will do it after the kickstarter!

Is traveling to Cali, Colombia safe for surgery?
So I was planning on traveling to Cali, Colombia for a BBL with either Dr. Luis Eduardo Plazas or Dr. William Jimenez. I was dead set on Plazas but he doesn't have as many reviews as Jimenez. My family has been telling me Colombia is very dangerous (which I know but would be staying at a recovery house.) I don't speak Spanish and am worried about the overall safety but I love their results. I don't care for a huge butt just the hourglass figure. Thoughts?
Doctor Answers 7
Is traveling to Colombia for surgery safe?
Thank you for your question. The vast majority of patients who get plastic surgery abroad do so for financial reasons. They are often enticed by lower surgical fees, and think that they will be saving money. Unfortunately, people are often very short-sighted, and don't consider any other expenses (like traveling and lodging for an appropriate amount of time), and the cost of any potential complications. I've heard of and treated numerous complications from surgeries performed abroad, and it ALWAYS ended up costing much more than ever anticipated by the patient. In America we have a medicolegal system that let's any patient have proper recourse in case complications occur and are not addressed appropriately. In addition, the medical and institutional standards are on a different level than in other countries, and you actually know what you're getting. In other countries, however, all bets are off. That means that accountability for professional medical actions is just not there. It is hard to believe, with all the news in the media and our digital culture, that still so many go with the option of traveling for surgery without thinking the process all the way through. Medical tourism can, however, be done safely, if all aspects are well thought out. That means that you must have open lines of communication with the surgeon and surgical team, as well as immediate access to a responsible and knowledgeable physician in the postoperative period. The time to look for bargains is when shopping for shoes. Because, in plastic surgery, much like in many other fields in life, you get what you pay for. Hope this helps. Good luck and fare well.
I'm not sure why you need to go to South America to have a BBL when there are many in the region that can perform this procedure, and you can get adequate follow-up care.

Traveling to Cali, Colombia for surgery
Im not sure why you want to travel to Colombia to do surgery ? Patients that leave the US for Plastic Surgery abroad usually do so for financial reasons, traveling outside the U.S. for plastic surgery it can be risky .There are no Laws that protect patients or mandate the training and qualifications of physicians who perform plastic surgery outside of the US . Good Luck
You might also like...
I was on vacation in Colombia this past Summer and felt safe in Medellin. Cali is however not as safe as other cities in Colombia. There are several American Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in the United States which can perform surgery safely and take care of you if any complications. I would continue to do more research before going to another Country.
Surgery abroad?...
In recent years traveling abroad for plastic surgery has become a very popular alternative to surgery in the states. The main thing to keep in mind when having surgery in a foreign country is just because they offer cheaper prices doesn't mean you are getting the same quality and safety as in the United States. Some foreign clinics may have different standards when it comes to sterility. Second, a communication barrier is not good to have when you are having surgery. Ensure that someone that can translate will be there. And lastly, consider the fact that if you were to have post operative complications, many surgeons in the US don't like to see you for those problems. In general, if you have a gut feeling that you are worried about it, it might be better to stay at home for the procedure.
Web reference: http://www.AssociatesinPlasticSurgery.com
Safety of surgery abroad
My greatest concern about your question is safety. Not only of the actual geographic location that you are traveling to but of having surgery there. The standards that are set for operating facilities are much more rigorous in the United States. Also being so far from your operating surgeon concerns me for reasons of follow up and of taking care of you through any potential complications. While I understand the appeal that comes with health tourism, I do not recommend it. There are many Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area. If price is a concern feel free to see a few surgeons and compare not just the price but your comfort with each surgeon. There are also many finance options available to help spread out your payments. Stay safe.
I hope this helps :)
I hope this helps :)
Medical Tourism
What will you do if you. Have a problem after the surgery? How long are you planning on staying there? If you need something after, who will take care of you here. Have you ever heard of the statement that you get what you pay for?
In America there are standards and you can hold your doctor accountable. Out of the country, all bets are off.
Your family is right.
