Schalk Brits has scrapped plans for a family holiday in New York but Hurricane Sandy was not the main reason for the change.
The storm is causing great concern in America but the family had ditched their trip to the Big Apple next weekend after the hooker was told his four-year exile from the South Africa squad was over.
The Saracens No2 last wore the dark green and gold of the Springboks against Australia in July 2008 and appeared to have ended his Test chances when he moved to England the following year to start the next phase of his career.
Opting for a new life in London rather than remaining in Western Province resulted in Springbok head coach Peter De Villiers putting a red line through Brits's name and this state of affairs only changed last week under new boss Heyneke Meyer.
De Villiers's successor contacted Sarries to ask if Brits was available for the tour of Europe, which starts against Ireland a week on Saturday and then takes in Scotland before England are the opposition on November 24.
Now, having been officially named in the 31-strong Springbok squad, Brits has been trying to cancel flights to New York and inform his mother — who had arrived here from South Africa for the next leg of the trip — that her visit could now involve watching her son run out at Twickenham in the Springbok No2 jersey.
"It will be so weird to get this chance to play against some of my Sarries team-mates who are in the England squad," admitted the 31-year-old, who helped the club win the Premiership title in 2011.
"If I do make the team I will have to spend the match with England making sure Mouritz [Botha], Brad [Barritt], Owen [Farrell], Chris [Ashton], Mako [Vunipola] and Alex [Goode] stay out of reach and don't get the chance to put in a big tackle on me.
"It has been a long time since I was fortunate to play for the Springboks and during that period I have realised you cannot take these kind of opportunities for granted.
"I am going to make sure I savour every single moment with the squad and I am going to meet up with the guys in Dublin on Sunday after playing for Sarries against London Wasps."
Brits is the outstanding ball-carrying hooker in European rugby and South Africa's previous refusal to recall him has been a constant topic of conversation in his home country and here in England. Brits has a unique skills set for his position, possessing wonderful handling allied to the kind of pace and footwork normally seen in the back line.
His work in the loose has led to critics claiming he does not do his fair share of donkey work and he is a very different hooker to first-choice Bismarck du Plessis, whose upper body strength is formidable.
However, Du Plessis is out injured along with Tiaan Liebenberg, leaving Meyer with a problem he has asked Brits to solve. Meyer wants to utilize Brits's knowledge of European rugby and that is why Toulouse prop Guthro Steenkamp is also back in the fold, a year after his last Test.
Brits will be able to help the Boks with inside information about Vunipola, the latest Sarries forward to be called into the England squad. The 21-year-old loose-head prop is a good ball carrier and, like Brits, has to find the balance between this aspect of his play and the grafting stuff at scrums and line-outs.
"Mako is an incredible talent and together with Rhys Gill, our Welsh loose-head prop, these guys make me look good," said Brits. "Sarries is a great place to be and I am very happy at the club.
"Of course, I have talked about not playing for the Springboks with my wife and I always hoped I would get another chance, having played in three Tests in my career. It has been a dream to get this opportunity again and I am very excited.
"I knew Heyneke Meyer had spoken to the club but my selection didn't become a certainty until Sunday. Heyneke spoke to me and was very honest about the reasons I've been called into the squad and it was a very good conversation."
Having benefited from Brits' ball-carrying power, the Sarries members of the England squad will now start formulating a plan to halt the scrum-cap wearing dynamo.
Yates is master of the waiting game
Schalk Brits has been out of the Springbok picture for four years but spare a thought for former Sarries prop Kevin Yates. After winning his second cap against Argentina in June 1997, he had to wait nine years and 353 days to win his third, which came against South Africa. That earned Yates the record for the longest wait between international appearances by an England player.

The JBD dyno that you seen on BMS' site is my car. I was the original tester for the JBD. Same shop did my car with DTUK. Baseline for my car was 245bhp. JBD yielded 308bhp, DTUK Program 3 Map 7 yielded the 365HP.

JBD at 100% and DTUK @ Program 3 Map 7.

The first one was because I had the clamp to the mass flow sensor lose! after that I did not go SES until a month later and before I did the code erase it turned off by itself. I spoke to my mechanic and he stated that whenever you have tunes sometimes some codes will come up but usually not serious, but he did advise me never to ignore whenever the light comes up.
Limp can come about for various reasons, especially under duress on a dyno (heatsoak, for example). Your RENNtech isn't adjustable....it's one map, whereas JBD at DTUK have multiple options, so while your experiences with the tune are informative and appreciated, it's an apples to oranges comparison.

See how it softens the heart and quickens the soul
Craft Your Trip ►
A country that tends to make partisans of its visitors, Mexico is broad and beautiful (and its people famously big-hearted). We're particularly taken with the gorges of Copper Canyon (deeper than the Grand Canyon and graced with tropical jungles as you descend) and the state of Oaxaca, whose namesake city (founded by the Aztecs) softens the heart and whose Zapotec pyramids in Monte Albán quicken the soul. But considering the country's diverse cuisines, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, vibrant indigenous cultures, romantic colonial cities, and pristine beaches, Mexico may just be our very best kept secret.

You Have Scheduled a School Tour. Now What?
My husband and I tend to agree, or at least find common ground, on everything from food and movies to travel. And for six years now, we've been compatible when it comes to parenting, too.
So it took me by surprise when we got into a bit of an argument after leaving a school tour. We were exploring elementary school options for our daughter and had visited a few schools already. This day, we were in a rush to get to work and began comparing notes as we hurried to the subway. But we began arguing over what we had seen and what it meant.
He thought the classroom decorations were colorful and cheery, and he was glad to see a lot of instructional posters and student work on the walls. To him, it was a sign of a vibrant environment where a lot of learning was happening.
I had the opposite reaction. Room after room at the school looked cluttered, and the posted materials seemed overwhelming — there was no order, nowhere for the eye to rest. To me, it suggested that the teachers didn't have time built into their schedules to work on their rooms; they had just added more and more to the walls as the year went on.
I wondered how well students could focus on instruction and activities amid such a mess. Sure, the students could be learning a lot there, but I wasn't convinced simply by the copious materials displayed in the classrooms.
Guess which one of us is a former teacher?
We are only a few days into the school year, but already parents all over the city are starting to look at schools for next year.
Whether your child is heading next fall to preschool, elementary, middle or high school, you have probably already begun the vetting process. You've asked around, done Web searches, visited parenting chat boards. You may even have already scheduled a school tour.
Over the next few weeks, I'll walk you through the school tour experience, reviewing what to look for and what to focus on before, during and after your visit. I will try to offer some insights from my own teaching career, and from education and childhood experts.
I will not be providing advice on how to increase admissions chances. But I will try to demystify the tour and help you get the most out of it.
After all, many parents have rarely entered a classroom or school since they were students themselves. It can be hard to know what to look at or what to take into account when trying to make decisions or figure out what a school has in store for your child.
Part 2 in this series of posts will be about preparing for a tour. We welcome your questions or suggestions.

Hey Fetts,
I just finished painting my new MLC Fett armor. Check out the link and let me know what you think. And yes, I weathered the two decals after the pictures were taken. So don't panic over the sparkling white stickers.
Go Here
Awesome work man!
I like it!
Even better seeing the ESB shoulder decal!
nice touch!
Hey Hey!!!! Looks pretty good man! That MLC stuff is great isn't it Well done.
Very nice looking. Can't wait to see the costume all done.
Looks great, maybe put in some 'cream yellow' weathering sourounding the silver dents.
where do u get MLC armor from?
Hmmmm I don't know but I have seen that he as had a few of hisThe Admiral said:
Really nice Who made your cape?
Hey Fetts,
I got my armor from a member here on TDH who just didn't have the time for it. You can get a set through Rex, known here as Bountys Hunted.
Yes, as you may be aware, my awesome ESB cape was made by my friend Chris Bartlett. You can find him here on TDH as TrooperTK409. His work is the best there is in my opinion. He's quite helpful and will guide you in the right path, should you choose to seek him out.
If you look close enough to the armor pictures you will see that there is plenty of cream yellow on the armor. Look closer my friend.
That looks great TK-1776! Nice work. Man I need to get my armor painted, it's been primer gray forever.
Really nice work John. Your colors look right on. Can't wait to see it on!
(glad you liked the cape)

M1 .30 Carbine Very fun to shoot. Handy and very effective for home defense. I prefer something bigger than a .223 bullet for stopping someone from hurting my family.
I have been looking around lately to add another long gun to my collection. At the moment I only own my XD9 service, and a 12ga Winchester 1300 defender. My original plan was to turn the 1300 into a tactical. Because this gun was given to me, and has sentimental value to the person that gave it to me, I would like to keep it the way it is.
Originally I was going to purchase a Mossberg 20ga collapsible pistol grip as a tactical/HD/fun at the range shotgun that my wife could enjoy shooting as well. But then after shooting my buddies AR15 I thought that might be the way to go. Then I saw the CX4Storm and thought that would be the perfect addition to my collection. Now I'm just confused and looking for some advice and opinions on what should be my next purchase.
Comparing these guns is apple and oranges, but I'm looking for a long gun that will be fun at the range, and be something that can be affective in the home. What do you guys think? Sorry for this post being so long.

M1 .30 Carbine Very fun to shoot. Handy and very effective for home defense. I prefer something bigger than a .223 bullet for stopping someone from hurting my family.
There are just too many choices. I also recommend you look at Remington 870's, Marlins, Kalashnikovs, SKS's, etc.
An AR-15 will probably fill your requirements best. With a 20- or 24-inch barrelled upper receiver you can nail gophers at long range; swap the upper with a 16-inch barrelled receiver and you have a home defense carbine that you can manuever easily inside a building. Recoil is negligible, so you won't want to put it away after 5 rounds. Ammunition is relatively inexpensive and available just about anywhere. You can customize it to fit your needs easily and in just about any way you want.
I really like shooting my CX-4, but my AR-15s have a much greater effective range.
+1 With Rfawcs. You sure could have a blast with the AR-15.
+2 with rwafcs. AR15 is just lots of fun to shoot - there's lots of after market stuff to get for it, and it's OK for HD. I looked at the CX4 and ultimately decided against a long gun in pistol caliber as a first rifle.
wait till aug and get the Rx4 storm. thes berettas long range rifle in the storm series. it accepts AR mags, and i think it looks good. i love my Cx4 storm, im sure the Rx4 will be just as good.
Man the Rx4 is a nice looking gun. I think either that or a AR15 is what I will go for.
More advice needed. I got 2 questions, one about ARs and the other about my Shotgun. I have decided on an AR15. Problem is I had no idea there were so many variations. They all kind of look the same to me, and I can't usualy tell the differences between some of the guns. I would like to buy a 5.56mm Bushmaster complete rifle to start with since this will be my first venture into ARs. The gun stores here have a pretty limitted selection, so does anyone have a suggestion on what model I should get out of the popular rifles they have at stores? I would like to keep the price $1000and under.
Also, I have decided to change up my shotgun after all. Turns out it's a Winchester 1200, not a 1300. I'm looking for a 18.5" barrel. I heard that a 1300 barrel will fit a 1200. Is this true? If so, were can I get one?
I don't know if you considered a Rock River Arms AR, but if you have, check out http://ar15sales.com/index4.htm. Pete just gave me an awesome price quote on a RRA Elite CAR A4. I'm going to order it in a couple weeks.
I looked at RRA, Busmaster, and STAG but the Bushmaster seemed to be the only brand I can find here in my local shops. I've looked into ordering them, but I'm not sure how the shipping to an FFL works, and I havn't been able to find a RRA or a STAG for under $1000. My wife has put her foot down at a $1000. I'm suprised she went for it at all to be honest!
As for which brand to buy, now you're going to start a flame war. If it were me, I would work with your local dealer and see if he can provide what you want at a reasonable price. (I've found that once you become known to a dealer, they'll cut better prices on future purchases.) There's nothing wrong with Bushmaster; they make a good product at a fair price. The same can be said for other brands as well. Personally, I have 3 AR-15s, all built by Fulton Armory, but that's me.
Later on, if you wish, you can purchase a rifle-length upper receiver and swap them around as you want. It's like two long guns in one.
Can't help with the shotgun; I don't know anything about Remingtons.
Good luck with your purchase; I know you'll enjoy it!
My vote goes to AR15 and AK47. Ammo for both is easy to buy and affordable to shoot alot and there are tons of ways to mod them to whatever you like. The Beretta CX4 Storm is another really nice and easy to shoot rifle (mine is in 9mm) with all the toys.
One big plus for an AR15 is that you can swap out uppers easily to own a variety of styles. If you go the AR15 route, keep in mind that if you buy an AR15 pistol, you can legally convert it to a rifle and back to a pistol (but you can not convert the rifle to a pistol legally). I prefer the AR's made by Superior Arms Co. (which are made about 30miles from my home here in Iowa). I own 5 Superior Arms AR's (two in pistols forum) and yes I build my own.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm going to go shopping today. I called in sick to work *cough cough!
I found a store about 30 mins from my house that deals Bushmaster, Stag, RRM, and Olympic. I briefly talked to the guy on the phone and he has assured me that he can get me a great gun in any of the mention brands for under a grand. Wish me luck.
Good luck! Don't forget; we want photos!
Well I'm back and I brought home a new toy!
After speaking with the guy at the store for a while I ended up picking up a ArmaLite 16" flat top M-15A4 with a stage 2 trigger and I have to say I'm really happy with my purchase. It's exactly what I was looking for in every way. Because it was a flat top, and because my wife said the rail looked lonely, (gotta love that ) I also picked up a cheap Bushnell 1x28 red dot sight just for now to have something to look through. I'm not sure what I am going to go with on sights just yet.
All together I was right under the $1000 my wife was allowing me to spend. She was very impressed with the rifle and can't wait to shoot it. Even my mother-in-law wants to come out to the range next weekend to give it a shot! Thanks for everyones advice on helping me with this purchase, and expect more pics. I only had time to snap one and one of the growing collection.
Well done! I know you'll enjoy your new addition at the range. But, now that you've been bitten by the AR bug, prepare for a bad case of the "I wants".


text: Posted May 6, 2013 What is it that Varys said about Littlefinger in "A Game of Thrones"? They would see this country burn if they could be king of the ashes. http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/house-gop-ties-debt-cap-hike-to-tax-reform-90946.html There can be intellectual debates about taxation and the debt burden, but lets be clear that is not what this is about. They entire crux of this idea can be summed up in one paragraph in this article: If House Republicans choose this route, and their ploy works, they would solve a litany of problems. The debt ceiling would be raised, and tax reform would be put front and center in a town that is now focused on immigration and gun control. Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/house-gop-ties-debt-cap-hike-to-tax-reform-90946.html#ixzz2SX2IyriO Even Republicans have agreed in recent months that we do not have an immediate debt crisis. Both Boehner and Paul Ryan have said as much. So why would we hold our nation's solvency hostage in order to deal with tax reform and spending measures? Elections. All 435 Congressional seats are up for grabs in November of 2014. And Republicans don't want to be talking about gun control, gay marriage, or immigration. Because they lose on all those points. They want a narrative of taxation and debt. Which is ironic since their tax and spending policies are what has put us in this position in the first place. But it appears that the Republicans are preparing for yet another manufactured crisis in order to try and win some elections. If they have to default our country in order to win or retain some of those seats then so be it. They would watch this nation burn if they could be king of the ashes. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May 6, 2013
LOGAN, Utah - Utah State golfer Tanner Higham has been named the America First Credit Union Utah State Student-Athlete of the Week for the period ending Sunday, May 5, in an award that is voted on by a state-wide media panel.
It is the third time this year and fourth time in his career that Higham has received USU student-athlete of the week honors.
Higham, a junior from Shelley, Idaho (Shelley HS) finished tied for 11th at the 2013 Western Athletic Conference Championships with a 9-over 225 (73-74-78) last week helping Utah State finish in sixth-place in the 10-team field with a 51-over 915 (292-312-311).
On the season, Higham played 28 rounds and had a team-best scoring average of 73.57. Higham's best individual finish of the year was tying for first at the Pat Hicks Thunderbird Invitational this spring with a 2-under 142 (70-72), marking the first time since 1996 that an Aggie golfer tied for first or won a tournament. He also finished second at the U.S. Air Force hosted Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational last fall as he shot a 6-under 210 (70-70-70) for USU's best individual finish at the time since 1997.
Nominees from other sports for USU Student-Athlete of the Week included:
SOFTBALL - Senior pitcher Shelbi Tyteca (Farmington, Utah) helped Utah State to a 1-2 Western Athletic Conference record last weekend against Texas State as it lost the first two games of the series by scores of 14-0 and 9-8, before winning the finale, 5-2. In game two against the Bobcats, Tyteca recorded her first hit of the season as she went 2-of-3 at the plate with two runs batted in and one run scored in helping the Aggies to an eight-run rally to tie the game before eventually losing by one. In the last game of the series, Tyteca pitched 6.0 innings and allowed just two runs while striking out three batters to record her fourth win of the season. For the week, Tyteca went 4-for-7 (.571) at the plate and worked 10.2 innings in the circle, striking out six batters.

Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation fighting for the rights of children worldwide. It has been implementing projects in China since the late 1980s and plays a crucial role in defending the rights of vulnerable children across the country through programmes in education, health, emergency response and child protection.
Since 2011, Save the Children has been Arsenal Football Club's global charity partner.
With projects both in Islington and overseas, the Club is helping the charity in its efforts to give more young people a chance to become the best they can be.
Domestically, The Arsenal Foundation has donated £70,000 to support the delivery of Save the Children's Eat, Sleep, Learn, Play! (ESLP!) and Families and Schools Together (FAST) programmes for the first time in Islington, improving the wellbeing of over 100 families in the local area.
Duncombe Primary School and St. Mark's Primary School embarked on the eight-week FAST programme last year - an initiative that enables parents to develop the skills and confidence they need to better support and take a more active role in their children's education, while playing a greater role in their community.
Each week, families took part in practical and fun activities, designed to improve children's wellbeing and help develop their relationships. Members of Arsenal staff have also been given the opportunity to visit the schools and experience FAST first-hand.
In 2012 to coincide with the Club's pre-season visit to Asia, The Arsenal Foundation pledged a donation of £300,000 to Save the Children over three years, to support an education project in China, committing to help improve the quality of education of disadvantaged children aged six to 15, in some of Beijing's most under-resourced schools.
Together, Arsenal and Save the Children will train 200 teachers and 20 head teachers so that they have the skills to plan and deliver enjoyable and age-appropriate lessons for students in China's curriculum. This will reduce the chances of more than 15,000 children dropping out of school and the risk of being excluded from future opportunities in later life – giving more young people the chance to fulfil their potential.
To highlight the Club's commitment to the charity, a further £300,000 was pledged in 2013 towards a new three-year partnership in Indonesia, which will help directly support 4,000 vulnerable young people in Bandung Province, West Java by providing them with enhanced vocational education and employment skills.
In addition, Arsenal has been a crucial supporter of Save the Children's disaster relief work, making contributions to the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami appeal, the East Africa Crisis response and more recently the crisis affecting children in Syria.

The Lou Dobbs Interview
Some months ago, we were pitched a "Lou Dobbs interview" with hip hop bon vivant and sometime activist Russell Simmons. We were intrigued.
A "Lou Dobbs interview" with Russell Simmons? What could that be? Would our guest host, Sarah Crichton, have to interview Simmons in the style of the CNN money guy? Would Dobbs himself show up to ask the questions? Would Simmons refuse to speak on any topics other than the Dow Jones?
We never really found out. Due to scheduling conflicts, the interview began late, and despite Sarah's valiant efforts, it was simply not our best.
But tomorrow (Wednesday) we'll find out. Dobbs himself will be our guest at 11:40 am. He'll talk about his new book, Exporting America: Why Corporate Greed is Shipping American Jobs Overseas.
Coming from a lifelong Republican and fierce capitalist, it should be interesting to hear Dobbs' take on outsourcing. As we recently learned, the phenomenon has even begun to affect American journalists!

NLS home > Current press release > Press release archive > Distribution Study for DTB System
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), Library of Congress, is conducting an analysis of its current audiobook distribution process to determine what adjustments will be needed to accommodate its new digital talking-book (DTB) system. Three new models will be evaluated and the best suited will be designed to integrate with the distribution systems of state, regional, and subregional libraries in the NLS network.
ManTech Advanced Systems International will lead the effort with support from Jerome Ducrest, an independent subcontractor who will handle the analytical aspects of the study, and Daniel Kind of Wesley-Kind Associates, who will supply logistical expertise.
"The change from analog to digital presents an opportunity to make improvements in the way the entire talking-book system functions," says Frank Kurt Cylke, NLS director. "We are constantly striving to develop more efficient ways to serve our patrons."
The three models under consideration include the current system, in which mass quantities of book titles are stored locally for easy access by librarians as they fill loan requests. The other options include on-demand distribution, in a central facility would duplicate DTBs as patrons request them, and a hybrid model that combines mass production and on-demand duplication in a proportion based on patron requirements. Each will be reviewed for compatibility and ease of adaptation to current library systems. Other aspects such as shelving and circulation will be considered as libraries will continue to distribute a number of books from their own facilities.
"Our ideal distribution system will provide a combination of personal service for patrons, timely book delivery, and accurate tracking of materials to reduce loss rates," says Michael Moodie, NLS deputy director. "Factors such as efficient use of materials and sufficient inventory to meet patron demand are also important."
The study will be conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the three models will be evaluated and the optimal one selected. An advisory group of librarians and consumer representatives will weigh in on the recommendations of the contractors prior to the second phase, during which the new distribution system will be designed. A multiyear transition plan will be drafted to guide the implementation process to be completed by the launch of the DTB program in 2008.
More than 23 million copies of recorded and braille books and magazines were circulated to a readership of 799,718 in 2004. The international Union Catalog provides access to 423,500 titles (19 million copies). Audiobook readers borrow an average of 31 books and magazines a year. Braille readers average 20 books and magazines a year.

(12/12/2013) Mayor John DeStefano, Jr., President of the Board of Alderman Jorge Perez, Senator and Mayor-Elect Toni HarpCity Economic Development Administrator Kelly Murphy, Max Reim, Founder and Principal of LiveWorkLearnPlay (LWLP), and Richard Martz, Vice-President of LWLP all gathered today at City Hall to sign a historic Development and Land Disposition Agreement between the City and LWLP for the redevelopment of the former New Haven Coliseum site into a vibrant, new downtown neighborhood. Also in attendance were members of the New Haven Board of Alderman and the State Legislative Delegation.
The project will be one of the largest private developments in the history of the City, with approximately $362 million of private investment, and approximately $33 million in additional public infrastructure improvements. It will incorporate 1.1 million square feet of development on 4.85 acres of land. It is envisioned as a transit oriented, mixed-use, mixed-income, Smart Growth development that, once completed, will include 75,000 square feet of retail, up to 1,002 residential units, a 200,000 square foot class �A� office building, and a 160-190 room 4.5 star branded hotel and multi-functional center � all designed around a vibrant public square and community gathering place. Construction on the phased project is targeted to begin in the summer of 2014.
The project will create 35 to 40 new small to mid-sized permanent retail business opportunities and up to 25 seasonal incubator retail businesses, along with a mix of quality rental and for-sale housing options ranging from market rate, to low, moderate and workforce housing. In addition, the project will generate approximately 4,700 construction jobs and $303 million in labor income from construction jobs over the seven to ten years of project build-out. Most importantly, the project will generate approximately 2,800 permanent jobs at full operation, creating approximately $189 million in annual labor income. LWLP is committed to working with the City, New Haven Works and other local and regional organizations to ensure employment opportunities for New Haven residents as well as the participation of local businesses and entrepreneurs in the project.
The signing of this agreement was the result of the unanimous vote last week by the New Haven Board of Aldermen to approve the Development and Land Disposition Agreement between the City and LWLP.

Fire said to be 'not suspicious' in origin
Police and fire officials are continuing their investigation into the May 1 blaze in Carmel that killed four members of the Sullivan family.
While Police Chief Michael Johnson reported Tuesday that the "investigation was on-going," he told the Courier the fire was "not considered to be of suspicious origin."
Samples taken from the home on Wyndham Lane were sent to a State Police lab in Albany where the materials were tested by forensics experts.
Johnson said the documentation pertinent to the investigation had not yet been received and because of this a news briefing planned for later this week has been delayed again.
"When all the information has been gathered and a definitive determination made after careful consideration of the available evidence concerning the cause of the fire, the media will be invited to attend a news conference," he said.
When asked if the fire was being considered as suspicious, the chief replied: "No!"
Killed in Putnam's most tragic fire ever were Larchmont Police Dept. Captain Thomas Sullivan, his wife Donna and the couple's teenaged daughters Meghan and Mairead.
Thomas Sullivan Jr. was the only survivor of the blaze. He is currently residing with relatives in Dutchess County.

"Historical examination of the right to bear arms, from English antecedents to the drafting of the Second Amendment, bears proof that the right to bear arms has consistently been, and should still be, construed as an individual right." -- U.S. District Judge Sam Cummings, Re: U.S. vs Emerson (1999)
This important topic, and there are still many places where there are laws on the books against such recording, and this thread "Run in with one of Rock Hill PDs Narcotics Teams," running elsewhere here, have a certain common element. And that is, disrespect for basic rights of ordinary citizens.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

Good outcome for citizens, but it shows that even if you are not violating the law you might still be charged... I always have one of my hotkeys on my cell phone to record so I can record on a short notice. I did this a while ago when an officer thought I was going a little faster than the speed limit. Fortunately, I didn't have to use it.
I know some states have very strict wire tapping laws that require the consent of all parties when making any recording. You might remember a case not too long ago where a motorcyclist with a helmet camera was pulled over for speeding, and later charged with illegal wire tapping.... The town or state later dropped the charges. This latest case might void the NJ statute, but there is probably a long process to actually make it happen.
Can you really fault a LEO who is following the law? Isn't it actually the fault of those who wrote and passed the law?Originally Posted by Hopyard

Its amazing that something like this should even have to go to court. As long as the person that is recording an arrest is not interfering with the events that he/she is recording, I don't know why any LEOs that have a true invested interest in justice would be opposed to recordings. A recording could actually go in LEOs favor if the detainee were to make claims of abuse that did not take place infront of the cam that a lot if not most police cars already have in place.
There is a HUGE distinction here regarding electronic communications with an expectation of privacy and PUBLIC communications of which you may or may not be a party.
Florida's wiretapping law is a "two-party consent" law. Florida makes it a crime to intercept or record a "wire, oral, or electronic communication" in Florida, unless all parties to the communication consent. See Fla. Stat. ch. 934.03. Florida law makes an exception for in-person communications when the parties do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the conversation, such as when they are engaged in conversation in a public place where they might reasonably be overheard. If you are operating in Florida, you may record these kinds of in-person conversations without breaking the law. However, you should always get the consent of all parties before recording any telephone conversation and any in-person that common sense tells you is private.

State Law: Recording | Citizen Media Law Project
Recording the voice or actions of a public servant in a public place where there is no expectation of privacy ain't wrong. But this does not preclude the possibility that you would have to go to court to prove your point
There are plenty of other places to discuss these issues on the 'net. This is not one of them.

Slick Sand help!
:evil: Hey guys!I was just wondering what everyone thinks of Slick Sand or any of the same type products work.I am mostly concerned with the life span of the product and the warranty issues.Thanks in advance! :evil:
Slick Sand & Feather Fill 2G are both EXCELLENT products. As long as they are applied as directed,they will outlast most of US.
I use Feather Fill often for "problem child" surfaces and has gotten me out of trouble MANY time's.
Rember that it IS an activated product as it use's the same hardner as fiberglass so your potlife will be ticking as soon as it's mixed.
CLEAN your gun as SOON as your finished as it will harden up SHORTLY.
I use slick sand all the time great stuff. Once you mix it you have about 45 minutes before it hardens. I spray 2 coats and block out the next day. When you block sand it turns light gray and you can see the low spots or scatches as they are alot darker. I use SPI black epoxy first so it is easy to see high spots.
Thanks for the RE guys....does anyone know how good it is in the long run tho? :evil:
If the stuff is used right and not abused it'll last for a very long time. I've never heard of any failures when the product is used right. Apply it over a good epoxy primer for excellent adhesion and durability. Although it specifies that it can be used over an exhisting finish just remember it'll only be as good as what's under it. If you cover old shrinking laquer and deteriorating paints then expect it won't hold up to it's true potential. The only person I ever heard complain about any of Evercoat's polyester primers said he had some spots that stayed soft and didn't harden--and I assume he must not have mixed it completely and didn't strain it so chalk that one up to user error. For years I shunned polyester primers which was a big mistake, it is a very good product when used properly. Featherfill G2 gets my vote.
G2 is available in black, grey, and nuetral. The black is especially usefull on underbody components. Start with a sandblasted metal surface then coat with black epoxy, then black 2G to fill any pits etc, sand and apply another coat of black epoxy then your chassis black or satin black urethane singlestage. The beauty of it is all materials are black so any rock chips and scratches will show very little down the road.
Another area where polyester primers really shine are small parts that are pitted. Parts like convertible top bows, windshield openings, and any parts with intricate shapes. These parts are a PITA to try and glaze even with a brush but spraying on polyester primer is easy. JMO
My co-worker doesn't like to use it because he says it's too hard to sand (boo hoo!). I think that the very top layer is a bit tough to get through, but after that it is fine. I like using it on big bodywork jobs because it fills like crazy, and in two years have had NO comebacks due to a primer problem.
The reason I use it because a few years ago I went by this shop that works on Million dollar Ferrari's and custom cars and thats what he used. So I figured if it was good enough for him I would use it. So I copied what he does: strip to bare metal, rust repair, epoxy, body work, 2 coats of slick sand, block with 80, 2 more coats of slick sand, block with 180 and than you are ready for 2 coats of urethane primer with guide coat.
Another nice feature with the 2G is you CAN top coat over it without a 2K primer. I did this on a Chevelle and sprayed Omni MBC, Outside of some missed sand scratches it turned out great.
I sprayed 2 coats of epoxy first and did minor bodywork then Feather Fill 2G coats and blocked it out. On the couple of places I cut thru I just reapplied some more 2G and finished blocking the car with 400 wet.I should have gone 600 but the 400 really looked good enough then painted.
Well I think my Q's have been A'd.I am working on a 77 vette,I have srtipped it and done all of my glass work,then epoxy primed it.Its kinda wavy all over so I wanted to prime it with the G2,and block it.Then I was going to DP20 prime it and paint it!Sounds like I was on the right track,I just wanted to get some other oppinions before I waste my time.Thanks for all the help!!! :evil:
i used pcl polyprimer on my 72 Buick, check out the results, i liked it but harder to sand at first, seriously start sanding with 180-220 type grit paper, any finer and you will hate yourself.
here is my site
o.k. guys....just ordered the G2...Ill keep you posted on the results....mabey ill post some of the pics! :evil:
Hey guys,I just sprayed my first coat of G2 and it seemed to work mutch better than the first slick sand I used several years ago.Thanks for the help! :evil:
better moisture control!!!!

Peg Bradley-Doppes announces DU move to Summit League
(Nov. 27, 2012) The University of Denver has accepted an invitation to join the Summit League effective the 2013-14 academic year. This new affiliation allows for 11 of our 17 sports programs to have a stable home in one conference location.
Sports competing in the Summit League include men's and women's basketball, men's and women's golf, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's tennis, and volleyball. The University's remaining sports—hockey, gymnastics, men's and women's lacrosse, and men's and women's skiing—will continue in their respective conferences.
The University of Denver becomes the 10th member of the conference, joining IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (Fort Wayne), University of Missouri-Kansas City (Kansas City), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, University of Nebraska-Omaha (Omaha), University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University and Western Illinois University.
"While this move means that we will only compete in the Western Athletic Conference for one year, our goals remain the same," said Bradley-Doppes, vice chancellor for Athletics and Recreation. "We are focused on having a great 2012-13 season in all sports, and will work to assist the WAC in maintaining its viability as a conference.
"This is a wonderful day for our institution, as we can feel confident that we have a stable home in a league that has multiple institutions known in the Rocky Mountain region."

From Scott Lumpkin, Vice Chancellor - University Advancement
(Nov. 19, 2012) It is with great sadness I am writing to inform you that our dear friend and colleague, Bob Mesko, passed away on Friday afternoon after a long fight with cancer.
Bob came to DU in 2008 with more than 12 years of national and international fundraising experience. Born in Bratislava, Slovakia, Bob was raised in New York City where he graduated from Columbia University with a degree in international relations. The fall of communism attracted Bob back to Slovakia, where he co-founded Bratislava Dance Theater, the country's first professional modern dance company. Before joining DU's advancement team he served as director of development for the Colorado Symphony.
Bob was a great asset to the University in his role as director of development, and was particularly engaged with fundraising efforts for the Newman Center for the Performing Arts and the Lamont School of Music. His tremendous dedication, great passion for the arts, and love for life are just a few of the qualities that we will miss. Bob died at the age of 49 and is survived by his loving wife, Natalie, and their beautiful daughter, Vivienne.
A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. at Most Precious Blood Catholic Church, 2200 S. Harrison St. There will be a reception to follow at Parish Center. There will also be a visitation on Monday, Nov. 19, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Horan and McConaty Funeral Home, 1091 S. Colorado Blvd.
Bob touched many lives across our campus and the greater Denver community. He will be missed deeply.

Th good news about President Medvedev is that he is no Putin and can take a joke. U2's Bono joked about the president's preference for the Beatles, and said, "if that's true, that's it, I'm gone." However, he added his own love of Beatles music means he will remain in the country. When asked by the media about the group's campaign for many social issues, he responded"I'm really good at rescuing cats from trees." However, it is clear Bono understands the Russian people because he added, that Russia was the reason the war against Nazi, Germany was won, and "I am proud that we are performing in front of such people. I have always liked the bravery of the Russian people." To further his work in persuading Russians that his group was for their nation, U2 will link up during their concert with Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenkoi who is up in the sky listening to the music of U2.
U2 had waited for over two decades in order to perform in Russia. Any group which is polite enough to remember what the Russian people did for humankind in World War II deserves our heartiest hope for a successful performance.
And, please remember, any nation headed by a man who loves the Beatles, is on our favorite list.

I do have one question for anyone to answer, has anyone else experienced some clutch chatter on the first shift? I hear it with my windows down, it's like a clicking noise when the car shifts. Other than that it runs and shifts perfectly, my dealer told me that noise isn't a major concern....I just wondered if anyone else who drives an automatic hears it. One other question, my car has like 4 rubber flaps in front of each front tire...not sure what they're for but they graze the sidewalk when I back out of my driveway. Are those removeable or are they there for a reason?
Those are there for aerodynamic reasons, to help direct air away from the front of the tire when the car is moving along. You might remove them only to see your fuel efficiency be reduced. Not sure what percentage, but lets just say they were put there for a reason.

Yes, back when comics were good… and everybody could read them and enjoy them as there was no ratings system.

ah,yes. the good stuff. the stuff that todays comics try to emulate but can never reproduce. don't get me wrong, there's plenty of fun stuff out there today, but there was some kind of magic going on back then.

I know the TFSi takes a little while longer than your average engine to warm up... something to do with the direct injection I think..
But I've noticed mine is only getting close to 90 after a 40 min drive on A roads (my daily commute).
In fact, the needle never gets quite to 90 and always sits where it is on the pic below ..
I've now replaced the thermostat (what a job!) and the temp sensor on the side of the block (this one).
It now seems to take even longer to get hot!!
What else could it be?
I've heard there is another temp senor.. is this right?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Mixing AGM and wet cell batteries
After two weeks with the new charger, all seems well. The starter (wet) battery has more than enough charge (14.2V) to easily turn the engine over, while the house bank AGM batteries are kept charged at 13.5V.
The switch is placed in "2" (the starter battery only, the engine is started, we pull away from the dock and motor to the sailing ground. We put up the sails, shut down the engine, move the switch to "1" (house bank) and sail away. On return, we reverse the process. So far, so good. ;^)
~ Happy trails and sails to you ~ _/) ~
Mixing AGM and wet cell batteries
Thanks for the reply. I returned the deep cycle wet battery for one that had more cold cranking amps, but not deep cycle. I''ll install it tomorrow as my starter battery "only", unless there''s an emergency.
The new charger has a feature that allows for three stage charging (which charges in spurts up to 14.2 volts). The charger is presently charging the AGM batteries at 13.6 volts. I plan to connect the starter battery to the charger. Should I install the three stage module?
~ Happy trails and sails to you ~ _/) ~
Mixing AGM and wet cell batteries
928 frenzy: As long as you use separate chargers (e.g., alternators) with separate voltage regulator for each type of battery, you can use different battery types. It''s OK to use the "Both" battery switch position for emergency power, but you must never use "Both" when recharging.
Will Burton S/V Far Niente
Mixing AGM and wet cell batteries
A deep cycle battery as a staring batter is not as good as real starting battery.
You will get get more cranking amps from a starting battery than a deep cycle. You really don''t ned a deep ccyle batter for starting. I use deep 2 cycle AGM''s as a house bank but a regular sealed starting battery for starting. I can combine both for an emergency.
Mixing AGM and wet cell batteries
I''m about to add a deep cycle wet battery as the starter. The existin deep cycle AGM batteries will become the house bank. The charger is set at 13.6 volts, which (I''m told) is ideal for AGM bateries. The charger will also be hooked up to the starter battery. However, since it will also get charged by the engine''s alternator (at 14.2 volts), it seems to me that it should get an adequately charge every time I run the engine to leave and enter the dock and marina. Usually, the engine is on for about 30 minutes to get to decent sailing areas. Also, once the engine is turned off, I will switch to the house bank for power. I don''t intend to use "Both" unless there''s an emergency.
Will this setup be ok?
~ Happy trails and sails to you ~ _/) ~
Mixing AGM and wet cell batteries
When a battery switch is set to ''Both'' the batteries will be paralled. Bad idea due to different electrical characteristics.
As far as reusing the outboard alternator, same problem as with a regular battery charger. The alternator is undoubtably engineered for a wet cell battery, and will not be compatible with the AGM.
Mixing AGM and wet cell batteries
The charging requirements of the two batteries are very different. The charge, acceptance, and float of these two would almost require two sepearate charging systems. A charger optimized for the wet cell will be too high voltage for the AGM shortening it''s life, and one optimized for the AGM won''t keep the wet cell up to optimum charge, shortening it''s life.
Mixing AGM and wet cell batteries
Small sailboat already has a new 80amp wet cell. Now the owner wants to add an Optima D34M AGM battery to the mix, giving him about 200 amps total.
I know you cannot hook dissimilar battery types in parallel, but is it OK to mix AGM and wet cell batts when using a Off-1-2-Both battery switch? When switched to ''Both'', are the batts effectively in parallel?
Also, he has a 9amp feed from the alternator on his small outboard which skipped the electrical panel and hooked straight to the wet cell for charging. How can that still be used in the new setup?
Any advice would be appreciated. I cannot talk him out of choosing between one or the other batts; he is set on using them both for his house system. I know I can isolate each bat completely but would prefer to figure out some sort of mixed system.

This rack is built well except for the blade shape. More thought could have been give to the blades concerning the Hum and Whistle that happens at freeway speeds. It is very annoying but there are a couple of fixes. The first is to buy the matching air deflector for $90 or you could look online for other fixes that are less expensive.

Rachel Bilson's Grove Weekend Retail Therapy
Getting a much-needed break from her recently chaotic work schedule, Rachel Bilson treated herself to a leisurely day of shopping at the Grove in Los Angeles on Sunday (October 2).
The always-adorable actress was joined by a gal pal as the ladies roamed the popular retail grounds with Rachel looking a bit upset over being followed by a pesky paparazzo.
The outing comes as Miss Bilson can be seen in an all-new episode of "Hart of Dixie" airing tomorrow night (October 3) at 9/8c on the CW.
Titled "Parades and Pariahs," a synopsis via the show's website reads: "Hoping it might help the residents of BlueBell accept her as one of their own, Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) agrees to join Mayor Lavon Hayes (Cress Williams) on his float during the Founder's Day Parade, but, unfortunately, accidentally crashing the float doesn't exactly help Zoe win over Lemon Breeland (Jaime King) and the residents of BlueBell. To make matters worse, the town's golden boy, George Tucker (Scott Porter), informs Zoe that contractually she needs to bring in thirty percent of the business or Dr. Brick Breeland (Tim Matheson) will have the option to buy out her half of the medical practice."
Enjoy the pictures of Rachel Bilson out shopping at the Grove (October 2).

Fox Repeatedly Scrubs Backgrounds Of Guests Who Attack Wisconsin Protests
Fox News has failed to fully inform its viewers about the identities of guests it has hosted to criticize labor unions and the protests in Wisconsin. Fox has not disclosed guests' Republican Party activism in two instances and also hosted the CEO of a multinational company to criticize protesters for attacking "small businesses."
Fox Bills GOP Senate Candidate, Local GOP Officeholder As Concerned Parents
Your World Graphics Describe Dave Westlake As "Wisconsin Parent" And Organizer Of Rally Supporting WI Gov. From Your World with Neil Cavuto:
[Fox News, Your World with Neil Cavuto, 2/18/11 [1]]
Westlake Was A 2010 Republican Senate Candidate. From a Slate.com blog post by David Weigel:
That didn't take long: a Saturday rally [2] in support of Gov. Scott Walker's "budget repair" bill, countering the days of union protests, featuring conservative stars Andrew Breitbart, Jim "Gateway Pundit" Hoft, and Herman Cain. (Cain, now a presidential candidate, hired former state Americans for Prosperity director Mark Block last month.) The main organizer [3] is the Virginia-based conservative training group American Majority [4], funded in large part by the Sam Adams Alliance. That's a conservative 501(c)3 that seeds this kind of activism, and has succeeded since 2006 [5] in building activist infrastructure in several states.
The event's also being put on by unsuccessful 2010 U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake, who had one of my favorite gimmicks of the cycle.
[T]here was Westlake, on the other side of the yellow police tape, almost glowing in a blaze orange button-up shirt. It's become the signature color of his unusual campaign, which is staffed by volunteers and funded in part by sales of his blaze orange T-shirts declaring, "I am Dave Westlake."
The Republican Senate hopeful says he chose the classic hunting color as part of a pledge to be visible to the people of Wisconsin.
"If politicians who are in Washington voting for things that we don't want them to vote for had to wear blaze orange when they came back here, they couldn't hide," Westlake said. "We could find them and hold them accountable."

Fox & Friends Hosts "Upset Wisconsin Parent" Amber Hahn To Attack Teaching Union History In Public Schools. From the February 28 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): Amber Hahn is a parent, and she joins us live right now from Madison, Wisconsin. She's got three kids in the school system. Amber, what's wrong with teaching about the history of unions in public schools?
HAHN: Look, what I don't like is that government has overreached its use again and said we need to set as a teaching standard to teach the history of organized labor and collective bargaining. You know, I'm sure they teach the benefits of it, but I doubt that they also talk about the financial impacts and the aggressive intimidation that the unions have been using.
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): Yeah, the interesting thing, Amber, is that this apparently was passed recently when the governor of Wisconsin was a Democrat -- this lesson plan. I want to take a look at some of the salient points in it.
Number one, they teach this. "Unions work closely in the community." Number two, "Face greater challenges after President Reagan fired striking air traffic controllers in 1981." That sounds kind of biased. Number three, "Developed highly successful political efforts during last two decades of 20th century," and it goes on and on from there. So do you think that those talking and teaching points are biased?
HAHN: You know, I do. And this was passed in 2009. Wisconsin was actually the first state to pass something like this. It took them 12 years to try to get it through. Now, I'm all for teaching in 1959, you know, that the union labor movement, you know, really began in Wisconsin. And teach the facts, the dates, but, you know, in 2009, 50 years later, we decide that we've got to put it into legislation and into the 46 pages of school board operations that we need to teach about the union labor movement?
And we don't know what they're teaching in the classrooms. Honestly, I've not been in the classrooms and listened to how the teachers are teaching it. But, you know, I have my doubts.
KILMEADE: Amber, you just moved back to Wisconsin, and now all this. You also salute your teachers for working through the strike. You have not been disrupted, but do you regret putting your kids back in the public school system with this type of angst?
HAHN: No, absolutely not. I believe in the public school system. My husband and I are both -- you know, came out of the public school system, and I think we're doing OK. I don't regret moving back to Wisconsin. We love this state. We were out of state for 10 years. And I have to commend the Poynette school district -- pardon me -- for staying open through this crisis when all the other school districts around us were closing. So, commend the staff and the administrators there for continuing to do their job.
CARLSON: Let's look at a statement from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, from the website. "Wisconsin has long been a leader in labor rights. Unions such as the AFL-CIO and Teamsters allow us to enjoy an eight-hour work week and vacation time." So that apparently is in response and support of why they teach the history of unions to the kids. Any reaction to that?
HAHN: You know, I think it's a perfect example of how the unions have infiltrated our administration, and now we've got the DOA and the Department of Education, you know, supporting them and teaching our kids about them.
Look, I want my kids to have the best education that they can get. I want them to learn about things, but they need to be taught to research things and form their own opinions. You know, I think we need to back out of putting some of the requirements on school districts. Let's just set up some basic goals, you know, reading, writing, and arithmetic and focus on that and give teachers the autonomy to teach the kids and meet those goals.
KILMEADE: Amber Hahn, go to shelter. Thanks so much for your time. We appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your personal story.
HAHN: Thanks for bringing light to this.
KILMEADE: No problem.

Hey guys, this one's been bugging me for a while I'd like to consider what the best terms to use would be when teaching lighting and lighting principles.
Outside of different renderers own terminology conflicts like areas lights being a special array of lights in some apps versus a Environment light portal in others which then conflicts with the fact that some renderers do in fact call those portals.
So the two classifications I'm trying to find the best terms for would be light source objects and illumination source objects. Light source object being your standard traditional Point, Spot, IES, Infinite/directional etc. Illumination source lights being GI emitting objects and Portals and Environment/IBL lights.
Typically at the studio we refer to these as cg lights and Area/ENV lights (again their GI portals are called area lights)
With C4D I've typically referred to them as Lightsources and GI, but I've also encountered several students (my students nowadays are industry lighters not new students) Seem to all have different ways of referring to the two categories, but the older light sources are most typically referred to as CG lights, but I find newer students are confused by that as all lights are technically CG. for the GI based portals and environment lights I've heard so many typically referring to the GI types etc, but I've also heard them called physicla lights, Or real lights as well.
What do you think the best, and clearest new term would be for these two categories?

Trust: A New Beginning (Volume 1) by Cristiane Serruya
No current Talk conversations about this book.
EXCELLENT book. I am bit disappointed that it stopped in the middle of the story line. I would like to have 2nd part of this. I have left review on goodreads.
I adored this book! From the first page to the ending I was hooked and bad! I think what I enjoyed the most was the thoughts of each character - so you got what they said and what they were thinking. I think that was pure brilliant and a perfect fit for this book. The story starts off so mysterious and just leads into this beautiful but heart wrenching story of 3 people. I wish I could be in Sophia's shoes!! The author's writing is fresh and wonderful very well written. I want to say this is a quick read but you'll find yourself really reading into the story and taking your time to make sure you don't miss anything! Highly Recommended.

Series: Trust #1
"Trust: A New Beginning" by Cristiane Serruga was the first in this series: 'A New Beginning' by this author. This was a read that was simply hard to put down after starting it because it may be a long read and start out a little slow but this novel does pick up and does it! Ms. Serruga style of descriptive writing was definitely somewhat different in her deliverance of this well written amazing read of a 'heart wrenching story of three people.'
We find from the read their are three well defined characters: Sophia who was a rich, beautiful, intelligent and young widow. Ethan and Alistair were two 'rich playboys that wanted Sophia. All of these characters had 'Trust' issues and were not perfect but still good in their own way. Each of their stories are very intriguing that you will only have to read "Trust" to see what I mean. The reader will be caught up into emotions that this author was able to deliver were simply beautiful being able to feel for each character thoughts. You will be able to definitely get that they said and were thinking.
Be prepared for a few erotic sexual scenes that were steamy, sensual and sexual in detailed but still a good enjoyable contemporary romantic adult read.
Now, with that being said I will suggest to you to pick up "Trust: A New Beginning" to see for yourself how this author does a amazing good job with it all. You will be able to see how this author writes some incredibly emotional charged and breathless scenes that are simply off the chart ... good.
Be ready for it all: I truly can't say it any better "completely engaging characters, sizzling romance, achingly intense sex scenes, plenty of drama, touching stories of heart-breaking tragedy and loss, and a the chance for healing and redemption." With all of this know that this is just the first of this series so, be ready because there will be more on this journey for Sophia in "Trust: Betrayed #2."
such a great book i can't believe you picked me too read it it was a book i couldn't put down i can't wait to read the next to books never give up on writing
I won this book on a book giveaway. First off thank god there's gonna be another!! Loved the book!!! Thank you for the chance to read it!!

Anything that gives you guys a shot at higher volume is good for us guys who are just waiting for the next break-out board.
I will smile when I see these on a rack at Fry's Electronics - but I'll still be buying the bare bones package direct…

text: I am trying to help one of my son's friends make beeswax candles for his mom for Christmas. I need to know how much beeswax he needs to purchase. I can find directions all over the web, but not how much he needs. Assuming he wants to make a big jar candle how much beeswax would be need. I have someone local I can purchase it from. I will call him in a bit and see if he can tell me, but until then anyone have any idea.
