Those who came to her book-signing in London and braved the cold were treated with a mug of warm drink.
British singer Cheryl Cole warmed up fans who had queued for more than 24 hours to attend her book-signing by buying them all a mug of hot chocolate. The Girls Aloud star celebrated the release of her new tome "Through My Eyes" by hosting a meet-and-greet for devotees in London on Friday, October 1.
Loyal followers began lining up for the event on Thursday, September 30 with many braving the cold and wet conditions to camp overnight outside the Waterstones store in Piccadilly. And Cole repaid them for their loyalty when she arrived at the event, by buying 300 chilly fans a hot drink, according to Britain's Metro.

Hey! So, I mentioned that I married to a Canadian and have taken a liking to maple and maple syrup. Any good maple scents out there? Maple woody or maple syrup-y? I kind of wouldn't want it too sweet though or super duper floral but would like a little floral. I don't hear much of maple. I don't like tuberose or gardenia, thought I'd mention that! I've seen a few on that fragrantica listed..anyone know any besides those? Thanks.
'O, Canada..the True North strong and free'......:).
adding a note.. I am not huge on caramel either. Thanks!

Upset about old footage showed during his chat with Lauer, the rapper snapped, 'Yo, how am I supposed to talk if you're going to run the thing in the middle while I'm talking?'
After Kanye West launched Twitter rant against Matt Lauer on Wednesday, November 10 following his visit to "Today" show, MSNBC has now revealed the full footage of the interview. It shows West's remark about former U.S. President George W. Bush, accusing him of racism and of what made the rapper upset.
"As far as it being the worst moment of his presidency, you know, I can't really speak to that. But his take, his explanation, I completely agree with and I empathize with totally," West stated about his racist remark against Bush after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. However, the interview quickly turned sour when Lauer played a segment from a recent interview with Bush.
"I didn't need you guys to show me the tape in order to prompt my emotions or whatever," West snapped in the interview which was taped on Tuesday, November 9. "I don't need all the jazz... Can we be quiet for a second?... I'm here to man up to different mistakes that I made, and speak to the moment when I pegged George Bush as a racist. I came here to say that I made mistakes and I've grown as a person."
West lashed out again when "Today" cued another clip of him interrupting Taylor Swift at the 2009 Video Music Awards. "Yo, how am I supposed to talk if you're going to run the thing in the middle while I'm talking?" West said in an annoyed tone. "Please don't let that happen again. It's ridiculous."
After taping the interview, West took it to his Twitter page to slam Lauer and "Today" over the practice of showing old footage during interviews. "Let me tell you how they did me at the Today show... While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the MTV (clip) under me with audio!... I don't mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show... and that's a very nice way for me to put it! He tried to force my answers," he wrote.
Calling the chat "brutal", West went on, "I came there with only positive intent. I feel very alone, very used, very tortured, very forced, very misunderstood, very hollow, very very misused. He played clips of Bush and asked me to look at his face while I was trying to talk to him. I wish Michael Jackson had twitter!!!!!!"

Big business is divided over Labor's carbon tax. Miners and manufacturers want it scrapped while energy and transport giants are seeking modifications and greater certainty, amid opposition threats to dismantle the tax.
Energy and building companies warned yesterday that Opposition Leader
"It makes it difficult for businesses to operate with the right ability to assess the impact of the carbon tax,"
"A lot of the success of the package in the long term will depend on setting up tight governance and clear principles for implementation of complementary policy," Mr King said.
Industry groups are divided between those who want modifications or abolition of the tax and those who are resigned to the changes but are worried about uncertainty that could affect investment.
Miners and manufacturers are the biggest opponents, fearing billions of dollars in additional production costs will make them less competitive against their overseas counterparts.
"Why would this country shoot itself in the foot implementing an impediment to its export-competing industries and attractiveness as a capital destination with a tax impost that's significantly higher than we're likely to see in any other part of the world?" the managing director of mining investment firm Pacific Road Group,
Analysts said companies such as
"There are plenty of businesses, now that it is law, which are looking to get on with it," Deutsche Bank analyst Tim Jordan said. "The fact there is political uncertainty is a factor. Businesses are going to be cautious about low-carbon investment."
Mr Jordan said steelmakers
Credit Suisse predicts Origin Energy will only pass on 80 per cent of costs through electricity prices and says there is a 20 per cent risk of the tax being repealed by an incoming conservative government.
Investment banks could benefit by providing carbon trading advice to business on the risks, but analysts said these services would be limited during the fixed-price phase.
Big rail operators and logistics groups are unfazed by the carbon tax. They are confident about passing higher fuel costs on to customers and see opportunities to encourage customers to shift more business to rail.
Other sectors, such as trucking, must wait two years to find out whether a carbon tax will apply to heavy vehicles. "The ins and outs of what the opposition does, we're not buying too much into it," NatRoad chief executive Bernie Belacic said. "Just make sure you are not applying it to diesel as it will have an unwanted outcome."
Mining companies are concerned that the carbon tax will raise their production costs when overseas producers do not face the same impost.
"Many of the concerns we held about the original [resource super profits tax] proposal [regarding] international competitiveness and the disincentive to invest in relation to Australia, may also apply to the government's proposed carbon tax,"
The Australian Financial Review

Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.

Catalyst, the US-based diversity think-tank, has published a new report in its Advancing Women in India series that benchmarks 56 companies with headquarters in India or that are subsidiaries of global businesses with head offices in Europe or the US. The companies are drawn from eight industry sectors, and 66 per cent are listed in the Fortune Global 2000 (including American Express, Coca-Cola, Dow Chemicals, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, General Electric and IBM), with strong representation among India's largest companies (Aditya Birla Group, Hindustan Construction Company, Tata, Wipro).
As you would expect from a list like this, all companies were found to have formal diversity programmes in place, but some revealing and substantive gaps were identified. Although 71 per cent said they had formal mentoring programmes, only a third tracked their outcomes, such as promotion levels or retention rates. More than 70 per cent of companies had general leadership development programmes and targeted recruitment and retention programmes, but a much smaller percentage had targeted leadership programmes in place for women.
Perhaps most significantly, fewer than 50 per cent of companies held management accountable for delivering diversity, and only 34 per cent had gender training for men.
Women comprised 5 per cent of executives and management in subsidiary companies and 12 per cent in companies with headquarters in India. The stronger representation of women at management levels in companies with head offices in India was repeated throughout management tiers to board level and in the pipeline of executives ready for management positions. More women were leaving companies at management levels than men, but the gap was often just a few percentage points. Among senior managers, subsidiary companies lost more women at this level (11 per cent) than India-headquartered companies (6 per cent).
One of Catalyst's mantras is "what gets measured gets done" – as quoted in Lord Davies' report into women on UK boards. This research shows that companies in India may currently be falling short of proven best practice in two key areas: rigorous reporting and board responsibility for diversity. Without measuring the effects of diversity inputs or ensuring it is a priority for the board, programmes may not ensure that companies successfully harness the full range of talent.

Chen earns ninth victory in Beltways finale
Lefty allows three runs in 5 2/3; O's assured of division lead at break
BALTIMORE -- It's been a long time since the Orioles pieced together a string of successful seasons like the ones they're in the midst of now.
That can make some statistics misleading, like the O's reaching 50 wins in the fewest amount of games since 1997. What is clear, though, is that in this season's American League East -- a division in which the Orioles are guaranteed to hold at least a share of the lead entering the All-Star break -- Baltimore has a chance to do some damage.
"We have a real good team," Steve Pearce said. "We're firing on all cylinders right now and I like where we're at as a ballclub."
Recently, Pearce has been at the front of the O's charge, and the slugger belted a home run and scored twice as the Orioles held off the Nationals for a 4-3 win at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Thursday night.
The win is Baltimore's eighth in 10 games and moves the O's (50-41) three games ahead of the Blue Jays for first place in the division with three games left in the first half.
But Thursday, it seemed, would be a challenge. Gio Gonzalez (6-5) was on the hill, and he carried a 22-inning scoreless streak into the start. Just two batters into the game, Pearce ended that with his home run.
With three more runs in the third inning and a solid day all the way through for the pitching staff, Baltimore never trailed and took the rubber match of a rain-shortened Battle of the Beltways
"It's a tough lineup," Gonzalez said. "You go against these guys, especially all the way down to the last guy. It's definitely a battle, trying to mix it up and try to go out there and work a tough game."
Wei-Yin Chen gave the O's 5 2/3 solid innings to pick up his ninth win before the All-Star break for the first time in a career that spans back to successful days in Nippon Professional Baseball.
In those five seasons in Japan, Chen (9-3) compiled 36 victories and a 2.59 ERA. Wins may not tell the full story for a pitcher, but they can tell the story for a team, and the Orioles have provided the ideal complement for the consistently solid lefty.
"We love what he brings to this team, we love his ... fortitude that he shows every time he goes out there and takes the ball," Jones said. "We're just happy with the last three years we've had him here."
Baltimore spotted him four runs with Pearce's first-inning homer and an outburst in the third inning that saw both Jones and Nelson Cruz drive in runs.
But Chen also used six strikeouts to maneuver through a potent Washington offense and out of some dicey jams.
With a pair of runners in scoring position and two outs in the fourth, Chen froze Bryce Harper with a 92-mph fastball to escape the frame. An inning later, he whiffed Anthony Rendon with a curveball to strand a runner on third.
"Sometimes a W is one of the least things a pitcher has control over," O's manager Buck Showalter said. "If you're consistently good, you increase your chance of getting one."
And then there's the bullpen, which has been among the best in baseball. First, Tommy Hunter relieved Chen with a runner on second and two outs in the sixth. He escaped. Two innings later, Darren O'Day loaded the bases with two outs. He got out of it, too.
Zach Britton's ninth inning was smooth, with an infield hit as the only blemish on his 15th save of the year.
"I think the reason I can get that many wins is because of my teammates really picked me up during the first half of the season," Chen said through an interpreter. "Our lineup, our bullpen, my catcher, all of my teammates are playing really well."
The Orioles will meet up with the Nats once more this season, on Aug. 4 as a makeup for Tuesday's postponement. Showalter spoke glowingly of the Interleague rival during the week and views the Nationals as a World Series contender.
With three games until the All-Star break, though, Baltimore is the team with the better record and the firmer playoff position. After an even week of baseball, there is that chance these two will meet more than once more this season.
"You raise the competition," Jones said. "We love the fact that you never know what could happen in October. You could have a Battle of the Beltways when it's a little colder and bring the fans back out."

Good God.....Bill Walton is covering the game.
What's the over/under on how many time he lick's Iverson's boot this game?
The only thing going our way is that the Sixers don't play very good defense....we maybe able to pull one out of the fire if we get some good offense and defense going.....but that's a big IF.
Speaking of over/under, I definitely would've taken the under before the season began on Webber playing more than 40 games this season. I can't believe he's been as healthy as he has this year. :shrug:Quote:

Dude just STFU.
Interesting note.......6 of our 12 have been scored by Foster, Pollard and Harrison.
Bill Walton.....a fountain of useless Basketball information.
2nd unit coming in.....
to those unhappy pacers fans, who cant see the game -
Harrison with 6 points.......WTF about Walton?
If Harrison continues to improve.....the Pacers may look to trade JONeal?
He has never like JONeal......what a b!tch....
The Sixers play no defense at all
Walton sure has had nothing but good things to say about David Harrison. Saying Harrisons solid play could make it tempting for the Pacers to move Jermaine!
Heres to wishing Bill was our GM! JUST KIDDING.
But seriously, Harrisons play makes me love our chances against Detroit. Big Ben is simply not big enough to handle Harrison, if Harrison can stay out of foul trouble.
Damn.. JAX is just OFF!
Jasikavicus sucks, Good God, cross the damn half court line.

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011
Wow, this is a cool video. Looking back it brings back so many memories. I graduated in 1980 and there just weren't alot of jobs, I lived out in the valley and you really needed a car.
I remembered working on a raspberry picking machine, picking mushrooms, packing eggs, and then somewhere in there I got the job at Expo 86 working graveyards, as a janitor.
I worked in building that burned down a while back. It was the main place for all the offices, the costumes, and I forget what else. (I didn't know it at the time, but it had been used to house the Japanese during the war, so had some "weird" energy there. )
It wasn't right on the grounds, it was over by the Chinese gardens, but I had to pass thru the grounds to get there.
Every night I took the bus down Fraser St, and I could watch the fireworks. I only worked there a month, as I got another job.
It definitely stimulated the economy. I got paid $3.50, I think that was the minumum wage and at Expo I may have got $3.75 or maybe $4.25 I can't remember. After I quit I got a job in a laundry for $5. That was like hitting the big time. Then after a year I got a union job for $9. So things were looking up.
Anyways, here an old pic of me in my Expo86 uniform. Looks wrinkly. Oops! I think I just put it on quick to have a photo, as that pic is taken in the valley and I was living/working in Vancouver.
|In my Expo86 uniform
I remember one cool thing, that after Expo86 ended, we all got a letter thanking us for our work from Jimmy Pattison. That was really cool for me. I'm pretty sure I still have it and a button and a few other momentos.

George Vecsey writes today about "the incredibly shrinking ballplayer." There's a lot of fun stuff in this article, but there's a lot I'm skeptical about as well. So rather than sharpen some single point about it, I thought I'd change tack and just riff a little bit. Hey, it's casual day:
Out of the roughly 1,000 major leaguers in spring training camps, a couple of dozen appear to have lost significant weight in the off-season, all in the name of health and agility.
Some of them did it by eating grilled fish. Others played active video games with their children. Some went on diet programs or took up yoga. Others cut back on alcohol. Whatever they did, clubhouse attendants are coming up with smaller uniforms all over Florida and Arizona.
Is this like how Prince Fielder went vegetarian last year and every other player is reported to be "in the best shape of his life?" Pics or it didn't happen.
Among the biggest losers are Brett Myers and Ryan Howard of the championship Phillies, who lost 30 and 20 pounds.
If weight loss allows Howard to suddenly hit lefties, great. Otherwise, I wonder if this will be a negative for him somehow. Maybe not, because 20 pounds on him is like five on everyone else, but I have always subscribed to the adage "if it ain't broke . . ." Performance aside, how much of Howard's MVP support is based on the fact that he's a fat guy in a muscle-bound world? I'm guessing a lot. If he truly is getting thin, similar numbers in the future will probably bring him less love from the BBWAA.
"You have to be a little skeptical, given the context of watching bodies change," Dr. Gary Wadler, an internist and member of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said Thursday. "The explanation then was that they were eating more and working out more. Now if you hear players say, 'We changed our ways,' all you can do is be suspicious."
Point taken, but it's worth noting that suspicion of PED use = job security when you're Dr. Gary Wadler of the WADA.
The model for clean living and technique over brute size is Derek Jeter of the Yankees, whose physique and hitting style have never fluctuated since he came up in 1995. Jeter seemed to be quietly seething last week when having to discuss revelations of steroid use by Alex Rodriguez. Not all of us did it, Jeter veritably hissed. That is an important fact to remember as players assert their inner athlete.
Just the latest entry in the "we must be suspicious of every single player — except Cap'n Jetes!" line of reasoning. If you put a gun to my head I'd say Jeter didn't roid up, but we really can't know that. If people insist on placing an umbrella of suspicion over everything that's gone down in the past 20 years, he has to be included, doesn't he? No more demonizing of individuals who are dirty, but no more extra-credit for those we perceive, but don't know, to be clean, right?
Something else worth thinking about, Vecsey reminds us, is that all of the bulk players have put on over the years may not have been necessary:
"A lot of baseball is about something called weight transfer," Dr. Joyner added. "In this context, there have been many superb javelin throwers who are pretty small and at least some shot-putters and discus throwers have been relatively small. "Think about the rotation in Tiger Woods's hips, or the classic shot of Koufax with his arm essentially being used like a sling shot and trailing his body."
Exactly. And it was just that sort of technique over brute force that allowed Koufax to retire as the all time strikeout king after leading the Dodgers to victory in the 1977 World Series.
"Remember Mickey Lolich?" he said, referring to the chubby lefty who helped Detroit win the 1968 World Series. "The more weight he gained, the better he pitched."
Except that he didn't. Lolich was never skinny, but he truly ballooned up after leaving Detroit, and that's when he really fell off a cliff. That said, I suspect it was his sadistic early-70s workload that did him in, not his donut-gut.
Of course, players have always been trying to lose weight. I can remember Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Elston Howard and Johnny Blanchard running laps — well, maybe one lap — early in spring training, all of them wearing rubber shirts and calling one another Whale Belly as they staggered from foul pole to foul pole.
Man, George Vecsey is old.
Nowadays, players can afford trainers and nutritionists, and they do not have to supplement their income as bartenders or by selling cars. But it's hard to forget the first vague impressions of the mid- to-late '90s, when some players showed up for spring training with enlarged teeth, larger cap sizes, acne on their backs and shoulders rising to meet their ears.
Enlarged teeth? Really? Do we have to take Elway's Super Bowl rings away?
Yes, I'm just messin' around here. Vecsey's sources have a lot of intersting things to say about weight and bulk and technique and everything, and it is fun and worthy subject to consider. But it strikes me that you can't write an article with a premise of ballplayers being smaller without checking to see if, in fact, ballplayers truly are smaller. We here about guys shedding pounds over the winter every year, and with few exceptions, they all look the same come April. Even if the most obvious muscle heads from the 90s are gone, players still seem a heck of a lot bigger than they were in the 80s and before.
I'm not sure what to make of it. Unfortunately, we don't have anything approaching accurate player weight data so this subject, like everything else related to PEDs, will have to reside in the land of anecdote for the foreseeable future.

If you are eating or about to eat, maybe skip this post today
and if curious, come on back later, please!
My friend and coworker, Linda, sat with us today at lunch. We
rarely have the chance to talk to her since she left our bins
order filling area to become part of the 'Cycle Count' area.
She is a pleasant, Kentucky-born woman who I have enjoyed
intermittent conversations with, over almost six years of
working at Advance Auto D.C. #23.
Linda had a 'cross' face on, while approaching our table, and
I wondered what had caused this upset in her day. She right
away launched into a discussion, aiming her comments at me!
"Robin, I swear! I could have killed my little grandchildren
last night! I went over at 6 p.m. to watch them, while their
parents went out for a business dinner."
So far, that didn't seem at all disturbing… I looked at her
and smiled, saying,
"Linda, I am going to be watching my M & M girls from 2 p.m.
on Saturday until 2 p.m. Sunday, I got you 'beat!'"
She looked at me, like I was crazy! Linda then admonished me,
"I am not complaining about going over there and watching the
kids!" She said this a little louder than our 'usual' lunch
conversational level. Melvin looked over, from his table of
sports guys, Chuck and Corey sitting there, shaking their
heads at me.
"Okay, Linda, what upset you while babysitting the kids,
you used the word, 'kill' in a sentence with precious
Lindsey and Claire, implying they annoyed you."
Then, Linda took a deep breath and we all sunk our teeth
into another bite of our food. Tammy and Karen were eating
'machine' food. This is food dispensed out of the machines.
I took a bite out of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Then, since a lightbulb went on in my head, I asked,
"Linda, why did you address your outrage at the grandkids
to specifically me?"
She smiled and said, "Since you are one to be able to
answer this question. Why does 'Winnie the Pooh' have his
stupid name?"
I actually did not have a clue, love Winnie the Pooh, have
shared memories of my Dad reading the book, "The House at
Pooh Corner," to me from my early childhood. And the cute
page boy haircut allowed my Dad to insert the simple name
of "Robin" instead of "Christopher Robin," and for years
I thought little Robin was a girl!
"Start from the beginning, please!" I exclaimed.
"Well, I took my cardboard "Classic Pooh" book over to
my son and daughter in law's house, having never read it
to my granddaughters. I found it and was so glad that
the two year old and three year old won't be able to
rip it. I cannot wait to read the longer, older book
that has chapters in it, to them!"
I showed them the book, read the title of the story,
"Winnie the Pooh Discovers the Seasons," and guess
what those little urchins did? They rolled around and
laughed, ridiculously torrents of sniggers, finally
a rollicking giggling 'fit' started!"
We all looked puzzled. Questions were flowing across
the lunch table. But we just stared at her. We waited,
since she seemed very peeved at those adorable children!
Linda finally explained, "They had apparently never heard
of Winnie the Pooh, thought the word used was, 'poo.'
Their mother, my daughter in law, (Linda was using a rather
annoyed tone with this comment) taught them about 'dog poo'
and when Claire was born, taught Lindsey to call her dirty
diapers, since she was still little herself (they are only
18 months apart) to call her diaper a 'poo-ey' diaper.
In fact she even taught her the initials, 'P.U.!!'"
We all then started laughing! We could see how this would
happen, but wondered aloud, "Why didn't my kids think this
way, when I first read this to them?"
The only thing we could come up with was that maybe they
didn't think of 'poo' as 'poop' in most of our households.
So, then, Melvin had to interject a much grosser use of
the word, 'poop.' He said to our astonishment,
"Did you hear that Arnold Palmer couldn't hold his bowel
movement until he reached a bathroom and he pooped on a
golfing green?"
Supposedly, this was on the sporting news and had even
'hit' the radio sports channel today. Chuck said he also
had heard it and added this line,
"Arnold's caddy tried to deny it and sounded kind of snotty,
to another person who asked, 'Is this poop one of Arnold's?'
and the caddy answered, 'No, of course not. Arnold would
never do such a thing…'"
We all thought this was really strange and weird.
Then Melvin piped up with his solution to the problem,
using his keen Army honorably discharged and combat-trained
mind to come up with this one:
"I think I'll invent a rolling Port-A-Pot, so that caddies
can bring their golfers they work for, an instant place to
sit and take a 'sh__!'"
Linda got up, disgusted and said,
"Melvin, I was talking about children and needed Robin to go
find out 'why in the world would A.A. Milne name the teddy
bear, 'Winnie the Pooh?' in the first place!"
I somehow switched the subject to how my youngest daughter
has a very active 'gag reflex' while changing dirty diapers.
She went so far, when my little (now 5) Micah was born, asking
his older brother, Skyler to get a clothespin out of Nana's
art supplies' box.
Chuck leaned over and asked me to find out how the skunk
in the cartoons, Pepe le Pew's name came about. Was it a
'slam' against the French? His complete name is Charles and
has some French Canadian blood in him.
Then, Tammy told me to come back tomorrow with the answer
about why the bear is called, "Pooh."
Tammy left and Karen and I were left, pondering and then,
Karen uttered that funny little Pooh quote, "Bother!"
We started chuckling about how Melvin had grossed Linda
out and how we never have a dull moment at work!
Here is a little history and background information about
the subject of Winnie the Pooh and his answer about why
the bear has its name. The stuffed animal menagerie of
Christopher Robin included Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Kanga,
baby Roo, Eeyore, Piglet and Owl. Disney added "Gopher."
Here is a list of dates of A.A. Milne's books:
1. "When We Were Young," published in 1924. This book
includes poems written for young children. It includes one
about a teddy bear, named Winnie the Pooh.
2. "Winnie the Pooh," published in 1926. This book has two
vague sentences that refer to the bear's name.
3. "Now We Are Six," published in 1927. It includes a nice
compilation of poetry for young listeners.
4. "The House at Pooh Corner," published in 1928. This is
the one book that I still have from my early childhood,
from which my Dad read to us from. I have all the books
that are here, along with a great little collection that
the gas company of BP published. I collected two sets of
these and have two hard cardboard books that have snippets
of the poetry and stories. One is a Disney production book.
Are you ready for Linda's answer? I had to write this down,
not only to type it into my blog post, but she will get the
handwritten one tomorrow, (TGIF!)
In the first chapter of "Winnie the Pooh," there is a somewhat
explanation why A.A. Milne's son, (Christopher Robin Milne)
had a bear named Edward. This became known later as "Pooh,"
because of this offhand comment:
"But his (the bear's) arms were so stiff… they stayed up
straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a
fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off.
And I think– but am not sure, that that is why he is
always called Pooh."
Now, let me tell you, I didn't think this was very clear,
not one bit! I bet Linda will not believe this is the
only explanation that A.A. Milne includes in his books.
All I can say is, we have to believe this is how it went.
I could hear the bear blow a puff of breath out, "pooh!"

2010-09-12 39 -76
Sun 12 Sep 2010 in Baltimore:
- Rosedale, just off of 95, just East of the Rosedale Shopping Center. It appears to be in the left yard of 8206 Edwill Avenue.
Google Maps Street View of the spot
- Mike plans to be there, since it's about a mile and a half from his house.
Anyone else... Let me know what time you want to meet if you want to come.
Check it out, take pictures, and hope someone else comes.
I was prepared to walk to the point, going to earn the Walk geohash achievement. However, my mom said she'd drive me there today since it was all drizzly out, losing the Walk achievement, but gaining the Drag-along achievement. So, since I didn't hear from anyone, I thought that the most probable time to meet anyone would be 4 PM, so I went to go there then. We set out at about 3:40 PM. It was just a short jaunt down the road, so we ended up right near the spot at about 3:50 PM. Once my mom parked, she said, "Alright. What do you plan to do here? How long do you plan to be?" I told her "Well, I didn't really hear from anyone, so I'm just going to the point, take a few pictures, and wait until a little after 4 to see if anyone shows up."
I took a picture of her in the car, since she didn't want to get out. So I hopped out of the car and walked towards the point. I got to the spot with the mailboxes that I recognized from Google Street View and I looked down and saw I was very close. I started walking onto the lawn to try to get closer, but for some reason, my GPS stopped updating my position as I was walking. I wasn't sure what was going on, so I walked back to the sidewalk and started walking back and forth up and down the sidewalk to try to change the number. It didn't budge. I was getting a little frustrated with my GeoHashDroid app at this point. I shut the app off and turned it back on again to try again. This time, it worked and was updating my position. So, I walked back onto the lawn and started up towards the back yard, looking to see if the owner was there, and trying to get an excuse ready for them. I was planning on trying the "Hi! I'm from the Internet." line. Fortunately, no one approached me.
Well, luckily, the spot was pretty close to where Google Street View pinned it, though it was a bit further up the hill and closer to the sidewalk. I got it to say that I was within 4 feet of the spot and no closer, so I called it a win at that. From the spot, I took a picture across the street and also one of the house I was in the yard of. It was at this point I realized that I was kind of screwed from a "proof" stand-point, since my Droid was my camera and my GPS, so I wouldn't be able to take a picture of the GPS screen. (Actually, I could go back and retro-hash to prove it, if anyone knows a way to take a screenshot on a Droid Eris.) So I did the next best thing. I took a picture of the foot-trampled grass where I was on the spot, as well as a shot from the street that pretty well matches the Google Street View picture. I also took a picture of myself when I was standing on the spot with the house clearly visible in the background. At about 4:05 PM, I figured no one else was showing up, so I went back to the car with my mom. Then, I thought we were going home.
No, of course not! :-D In something my mom didn't tell me about, we went to Home Depot to get my dad two boxes of deck screws. We got there, and that was a little story in itself. She brought the screw to compare, just to make sure we're getting the right ones. Well, we get to the aisle, and find the brand and all. We're looking for two five-pound boxes of 3-inch deck screws. Do they have them? No. They have everything but what we're looking for. All around, there's five-pound boxes of all other lengths, ranging from 5/8-inch to 3 1/2-inch. Also, they have one-pound boxes of 3-inch, as well as a 25-pound bucket. So we call my dad, and he'll settle for two boxes of 2 1/2-inch screws. Then, we headed home.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Even a serious crime such as murder or bank robbery?
We do have an extradition treaty with France and the US would extradite you. I sure hope this is a hypothetical posted upon a public forum. There is no privilege here. Take Care! (Below is the Int'l crim court treaty)Ask a similar question
Here's a question for you: What in the bloody hell are you thinking?
Here's an answer for you: Do not commit a crime, and especially do not commit a murder or a bank robbery. If you do not commit a crime (and especially not a murder or a bank robbery) then you will not have to worry about either fleeing or being extradited.
And here's a suggestion for you as well: If you are compelled to commit a crime (and especially either a murder or a bank robbery) then please, pretty please, avec un peu de sucre en poudre et une cerise sur le gâteau, go back to France and do it there.
Congratulations for asking the most idiotic question of the month.
First, second and third: No attorney-client relationship exists by virtue of any Q&A with Michael A. Haber, Esq. on Avvo. Fourth: Anything that you post on Avvo (or on similar sites) or on any social media is by its nature public. It is essentially an admission / confession and can be introduced into evidence as a statement against your interest in a subsequent legal proceeding. Once posted you lose any reasonable expectation of privacy, so, as this is an open forum (with no privilege attached), please be extra careful when considering what to post online (forewarned is forearmed.)Ask a similar question
Yes,France can extradite you. More importantly, if this is a hypothetical question a great deal more detail and context is necessary to explore the subject of an international extradition.
If your question has any other real basis cease communicating in this public forum. Consult and retain an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer ASAP.
Of course, every answer is based on the question asked and requires a more complete context. This answer should not be relied upon to make a legal decision.

As mentioned by my colleagues, France does have an extradition treaty with the United States.
Historically, however, France has been notably reluctant to send people back to the US for criminal prosecution. I am of course not an expert on French law, but I believe that French law expressly prohibits extradition of its own nationals (think Roman Polanski).
The US-France extradition treaty, at Article 3(1), specifically provides that "neither State has an obligation to extradite its own nationals, but the executive authority of the United States shall have the discretion to do so. The nationality of the person sought shall be the nationality of the person at the time the offense was committed."
Article 696-4 of France's Code of Criminal Procedure (Code de procédure pénale) reads "extradition is not granted ... where the requested person is of French nationality, as determined at the date of the offense for which the extradition is requested…"
From what I remember Dominique Strauss-Kahn, another Frenchman, was initially denied bail in his rape prosecution because it was feared he would hop on a plane to France and avail himself of the fact that France would refuse to extradite him back to the U.S.
I am very intrigued as to the reason you are asking this question. Mere curiosity? I do not think you would be so foolish as to post such a question if you were actually considering engaging in criminal activity.. ;)

Six Rivers Planned Parenthood changing management
EUREKA- Six Rivers Planned Parenthood will no longer be serving the North Coast. Officials with the organization announced last week that they will be dissolving their affiliation due to a lack of financial stability.
On Thursday Six Rivers will cease to exist. However, the clinic will remain open under the management of Planned Parenthood Northern California. Planned Parenthood NorCal is an organization that's separate from Six Rivers. Beginning August first the organization will now be responsible for serving residents of Humboldt, Trinity and Del Norte counties. Officials with Six Rivers Planned Parenthood say that some current employees will be laid off in the transition at the end of this week, but services will not be affected.
"Patients that walk through our doors everyday will not see a change in services," said Tia Baratelle, Director of Public Affairs with Six Rivers Planned Parenthood. "They still will be getting the compassionate, quality care that they have been relying on for nearly forty years from Six Rivers. Many of the same faces will still be here providing those services."

Community-based protest against construction projects: a case study of movement continuity
Community-based activism against proposed construction projects is growing. Many protests are poorly managed and escalate into long-term and sometimes acrimonious disputes which damage communities, firms and the construction industry as a whole. Using a thematic storytelling approach which draws on ethnographic method, within a single case study framework, new insights into the social forces that shape and sustain community-based protest against construction projects are provided. A conceptual model of protest movement continuity is presented which highlights the factors that sustain protest continuity over time. The model illustrates how social contagion leads to common community perceptions of development risk and opportunity, to a positive internalization of collective values and identity, to a strategic utilization of social capital and an awareness of the need to manage the emotional dynamics of protest through mechanisms such as symbolic artefacts.

Miroslav Satan's Slovakia got off to a flying start on the opening day of the ice hockey world championships in Helsinki as they beat group rivals France 6-2.
"We had a good start, very active with a lot of chances," the much-travelled former NHL player told reporters. "In the second period, we got some more goals and I think from that point on we controlled the game."
The Slovaks registered 24 of their 37 shots in the first two periods, scoring three goals in the process to take command.
Beaten finalists in 2012, Satan's side scored a further two goals to go 5-0 up in the third. The French pulled two back but never really threatened before Libor Hudacek finished the scoring late on.
With the tournament once again being co-hosted by Finland and Sweden, the Finns had a narrow escape as they overcame Germany 4-3 after overtime. Their co-hosts were not as fortunate, slumping to shock 3-2 defeat by Switzerland in Stockholm.
"That's not how we wanted to start the tournament," Sweden's goaltender Jacob Markstrom told reporters. "It's too bad. It didn't hold up today. We weren't good enough."
In the other game in Stockholm, the Czech Republic beat Belarus 2-0 as Czech goaltender Alexander Salak, who plays in the Sweden's Elitserien for Farjestad, kept a clean sheet on his world championship debut.
Defending champions Russia make their bow on Saturday when they play Latvia, with the United States facing Austria and Canada taking on Denmark.

By Niall Ferguson
In the Old Testament Book of Leviticus, God commands the children of Israel to observe a jubilee every 50 years. Nowadays we tend to associate the word with celebrations of royal anniversaries such as Queen Elizabeth's golden jubilee in 2002. But the biblical conception of a jubilee was more precise: that of a general cancellation of debts. Read more
