During a season that's already included a half-dozen starting lineups over the first 17 games, the Washington Wizards are in line for yet another when they visit the New Orleans Hornets on Tuesday night after starting point guard A.J. Price broke his right hand in Saturday's 101-97 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Price, who will miss four to six weeks, had started 15 games in place of John Wall, who has missed 10 weeks with a stress injury in his left patella. There's no indication Wall is anywhere near close to coming back, either, considering the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft has not been able to take jump shots.
Jordan Crawford appears to be the leading candidate to replace Price, but he's been much more scorer than distributor since joining the Wizards in February 2011. That leaves rookie Bradley Beal at starting shooting guard and the Wizards uncertain who, if anyone, will be available off the bench in the back court other than Shaun Livingston.
"It's tough, but there are no excuses," Wizards Coach Randy Wittman said after practice on Monday. "This is a non-excuse league. If you think like that, you're not going to do the best job you can do, and that's about all I can say. I mean is it the best-case scenario? No. But it is what it is, and I've got to make the most of it. I've got to try to put these guys that are now available in the right positions that best suit them and their talents."
Injuries and ineffective play have compelled Wittman to alter his starting lineup regularly, and that lack of continuity, along with undefined roles, in part has contributed to the Wizards' league-worst 2-15 record. Washington opened the season with 12 consecutive losses to set a franchise record, and since an improbable 105-101 upset of the NBA champion Miami Heat last Tuesday, the Wizards have dropped two in a row.
During those last two games, Martell Webster moved into the starting lineup at forward, becoming the 11th player on the Wizards to start a game this season. Webster replaced ailing forward Trevor Ariza, who is out indefinitely following a left calf strain sustained in the win against the Heat.
Ariza had started 13 of 15 games after joining the Wizards along with center Emeka Okafor in the deal that sent Rashard Lewis and a second-round pick to the Hornets in June.
"We've gotten the injury bug more early on than most teams would like to have," Okafor said. "We've all been on teams and injured ourselves or [dealt with] teammates that have been injured, and we understand the dynamic of that. We would like to have everybody healthy, but that's not the case right now, so you can't go on thinking, 'What if?' "
The Wizards did receive a bit of encouraging news on the injury front when Wittman indicated Trevor Booker practiced without contact Monday. Booker has missed the last eight games with a sore right knee. The injury occurred during the fourth quarter of a 96-89 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Nov. 19 when the energetic forward jumped with his right leg and immediately began to limp.
Booker later revealed he had been playing with soreness in his knee for close to two months. The injury, Booker suggested, perhaps developed as he tried to compensate for a left hamstring injury that flared during training camp.
Booker started the first seven games of the season, when the first unit stayed intact for its longest stretch. That group consisted of Booker, Okafor and Ariza in the front court with Price at point guard and Beal at shooting guard.
Wittman then experimented with starting lineups that have included Jan Vesely, Livingston, Kevin Seraphin and Chris Singleton. Washington's most recent starting lineup comprised of Price, Beal, Okafor, Singleton and Webster, although that's due to change as well.
"The only thing you can worry about as a player is what you can control," Webster said when asked about the fluctuating starters. "Your play, your mentality, your body, your health, plain and simple, and that's as much as I'm going to comment on that."

First woman nominated to lead Air Force Academy 'strong, educated pick' says Utahn Donna McAleer, a West Point grad
coltakashi Richland, WAMarch 11, 2013 8:23 a.m.
In point of fact, the AF Academy has long had female faculty, including in the legal faculty who teach ALL students, male and female, about their legal rights and obligations. The cases of unprosecuted sexual abuse have been primarily female cadets who were reluctant to go to the authorities because the occasions when they were assaulted involved their own violation of rules against alcohol consumption, etc. If someone hopes to be a military officer, they need to have the basuc couragebrequired of all crime victims, to repirt the attacks and be prepared to testify against the perpetrators.
At the same time accusations of sexual abuse were made against the AF Academy, other people were attacking the AFA for being "too Christian". Practicing Christians do not engage in sexual abuse, contrary to the perverted story telling of Hollywood. More religious conscience among cadets will constrain and deter sexual misconduct.
Ann Amberly Greenbelt, MDMarch 9, 2013 3:54 p.m.
Thanks goodness that she was in fact chosen for her gender. The Air Force Academy has a shameful history of ignoring sexual assault against female cadets. Now everyone will know the old boys' club atmosphere is over. No more impunity.
Flashback Kearns, UTMarch 4, 2013 9:47 a.m.
Sorry Old Man, it won't change in two years.
I agree with DN Subscriber 2.
one old man Ogden, UTMarch 3, 2013 8:13 p.m.
Donna McAleer is another excellent example of woman capable of leading.
It's a shame that she did not replace Rob Bishop in Congress.
Hopefully, that will change in two years.
DN Subscriber 2 SLC, UTMarch 3, 2013 7:47 p.m.
A good choice, as long as it was made strictly based on the content of her character, and professional competence and leadership, not on the color of her skin or gender.

Think about your last commercial airplane trip and the minor hassles you endured just to reach your seat.
You had your paperwork and baggage checked. You passed through security screening and surrendered your privacy and (perhaps) your dignity. And then you sat around the boarding area, wondering if they were ever going to announce your flight. Or at least tell you why it was delayed.
Well, for many businesses, the permitting process is not very different.
For decades, politicians from both major parties have trumpeted the need for streamlined permitting throughout regulatory agencies. Many Democrats, who wish to be seen as "business friendly," are determined to demonstrate that government is actually capable of efficiency. And many Republicans, unabashed advocates for business, hew to the belief that government works best when it gets out of the way.
Last week, the State Auditor's office released a performance audit of regulatory agencies that finds room for improvements in state permitting procedures. Specifically, it determines that agencies often fail to provide businesses with useful information about how much time securing a permit will take — sometimes because the agencies themselves don't reliably know.
The audit recommends that agencies begin collecting data and publishing information about permit time frames, providing more assistance to applicants early in the process, and tracking their own performance in order to identify and eliminate bottlenecks.
The report also notes that some of the 14 state agencies responsible for granting permits have instituted useful policies, and these "leading practices" should be shared with other offices.
It boils down to treating permit applicants the way any smart business treats valued customers. When we order merchandise, we want to know when it will arrive. When we drop our car off at the shop, we want to see a good-faith cost estimate for the repairs. But there is more at stake here than simply thawing the often icy relationship between businesses and bureaucracy.
Regulations exist to protect general health, safety and order. They help ensure our food is pure, our water is clean, our roads are safe and our property values are protected. But it is no secret that "regulation" has become a dirty word among those who would place more faith in private enterprise than they do government. (Never mind product recalls, hazardous waste spills or food-borne illnesses.)
Poor administration can taint otherwise worthwhile regulations. A permitting process that burdens businesses with delays and uncertainties further undercuts confidence in the overall system. Legislators and public-spirited state regulators should embrace and adopt the kinds of procedural improvements recommended in the State Auditor's report.

It is clearly a device for conservative treatments and to be used together with the other components of Traditional healing, Allopathic medicine, Naturopathic medicine, Herbal remedies or any other type of healing programs.
Micro-Circulation, a Bio-Electro Magnetic Energy Regulation therapy is an easy device that has been reported to be beneficial in patients with harmful physical and emotional toxins. Also, in obesity and addictions, post-surgeries and brain dysfunctions. It is a device you lay on for about 8 to 20 minutes a day that helps detoxify the body of harmful toxins. A video chat will be scheduled with Dr Roni on directions of usage.
Apart from the treatment of detoxification, Micro-Circulation also helps with the following:
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) with significant fatigue.
- Treatment of constant pain
- Depression, confusion, ADD, focus, memory
- Wound and skin tissues healing
- Treatment of degenerative disorder of different joints like spine, knee, shoulder

- Quick restoration after exercise and healing of sports injuries
- HIV, Lupus, Autoimmune conditions and many chronic illnesses.
- It was proven to help obesity and metabolism
- Celebrities are using it as part of their anti-aging program
Microcirculation is functionally the most important part of the human circulation system, which takes place in the smallest blood vessels and fulfills vital transport functions: it provides the tissues and organs with oxygen and nutrients and removes metabolic waste products and supports the immune system. A limited or malfunctioning microcirculation is the cause of many conditions of poor health and truly complicates buildup of harmful toxins.
Complex changes in the functional status of the microcirculation to a biologically relevant extent (increased venule flow out of the micro vascular networks, extended distribution of the plasma/blood cell mix in the capillary networks, and increased spontaneous arteriolar flow). This equates to a greater local range of control of the microcirculation resulting in increased venule-side oxygen saturation.
The body requires an adequate amount of oxygen supply and nutrients to work properly; and the oxygen is supplied by the blood. Even the capillaries (smallest blood vessels) must be unlocked for blood circulation to reach the cells in all tissues.
The micro-circulation must transfer the blood to the entire body, the chief organs, including the brain, liver, heart, skin for a proper metabolism. Moreover, the immune system must be able to release the T-cells to counterbalance invaders, bacteria and viruses as well as to remove debris and toxins from the body. These all in turn requires for the perfect functioning of all cells. A proper functioning of cell's is also depending on its energy production in the form of ATP (Adenosine-Tri-Phosphate- the cells chemical energy substance), and again the production of ATP depends on a sufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients. No matter what the specific chronic illnesses you are suffering from, the key health parameters must exist for improving health.
Total detoxification process enables you to purge your body of the physical toxins and your mind of the emotional toxins. This is achieved with Micro-Circulation with NO POSSIBLE RISKS/SIDE EFFECTS.
Act quickly and get back in good health. Very stress free! Very convenient! Very interesting! All you have to do is as easy as A-B-C.
A. Review the 3-step plan for you to diet detox
B. Schedule your video visit with Dr Roni now

There's another child pageant show: Little Miss Perfect. On last night's episode, one loathsome mom defended pageants, saying, "I guess maybe you would think we were doing something wrong if you had an ugly child."
Tina is the mother of 8-year-old Ashley, and she'll stop at nothing for perfection-when it comes to her daughter's appearance, not her own, natch. When they go to the photo studio to have her daughter's pageant entry photos taken, she informs the photog that she doesn't want them too retouched, just "naturally retouched." I can't tell if that's oxymoron-ic or just moronic.
Speaking of moronic, here's a bonus clip of a different pageant mom from the same show.

The $130 million expansion at the Casino Del Sol opened on Nov. 11 with a ribbon cutting and salute to America's veterans.
The expansion gives the Casino resort status with a 215-room, 161,000-square-foot hotel. The hotel part of the casino is also non-smoking.
Construction on the 10-story building began nearly two years ago, and is expected to create hundreds of new jobs in the area.
During a media tour, Mark Birtha, president and chief development officer, said they are happy to be building something major in a slowed economy.
Aimed at attracting others such as Oro Valley and Marana residents who might want a night out without a long drive, the resort may be just the ticket.
"Our goal and objective is to bring new customers to the market, from Mexico and regionally," Birtha said. "The objective is not to take away business, but to bring new business here."
The new hotel features a new steakhouse, a lobby and lounge, and two new Starbucks' stores, which is a major addition to the casino, located at 5655 W. Valencia Road. in Tucson.
Besides providing a resort experience for the individual, the casino, which is owned and operated by the Pasqua Yaqui Tribe, also offers 65,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space for weddings, receptions and events, including 20,000 square feet for flexible meeting and ballroom space, Birtha said.
A four-story, 1,100-car covered garage and a resort-style pool are also part of the construction.
Opening weekend not only featured the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, but also a fireworks show and headline entertainer Tim McGraw.

Golden: Bike Path Reconstruction Complete
Brooklyn- State Senator Marty Golden (R-C, 22nd District) speaking yesterday at the ribbon cutting ceremony officially reopening the bike and pedestrian path along Shore Road in Brooklyn, praised the reconstruction and urged the implementation of the plan to develop a bike and pedestrian pathway across the Verrazano Bridge as the necessary next step.
Senator Golden stated, "The bike and pedestrian path had significantly deteriorated over the years, and the partnership formed with the City of New York, Congressman Vito Fossella, the Parks Department and the Department of Environmental Protection allowed for the bike path to be returned to the people in stellar condition."
Golden continued, "This bike path and the waterfront are one of our community's greatest treasures. To have it exist in a dangerous manner was of great concern to the entire neighborhood and this major reconstruction project became critical. The integrity of the bike path, insuring the safety of all those who bike ride, jog and walk along the Narrows."
Senator Golden also highlighted the need to expand the capabilities of the travel of people, calling for attention and serious consideration of the plan to create a bike and pedestrian lane that stretches the span of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
"Now that the bike path along Shore Road is repaired, there has never been a better time to construct the "Lifeline", to connect Brooklyn to Staten Island for pedestrians, joggers and cyclists by creating a lane for such traveling on the Verrazano Bridge. I applaud the work of civic activist Charles Otey, who for years has built support within this community for the project, and has collected thousands of signatures. We must seize this opportunity to see that this plan is implemented. It will be an extraordinary addition and one that will be very beneficial."
The City of New York declared the Shore Parkway Seawall reconstruction an emergency on June 15, 2005 and the work began on June 24, 2005.
The Promenade Bike Path was constructed in the 1940's to complement the Belt Parkway. It loops almost entirely around the borough's shoreline and features bicycle and pedestrian path for about 13 miles along the waterfront. From Bay Ridge Avenue to the Verrazano Bridge, the greenway hosts a bicycle path and a separate but parallel pedestrian path.

"Our bullish thesis on Apple had been predicated on the expectation for gross margin (GM) expansion driven by the 5s cycle. While we still have conviction in the gross margin thesis (and the potential for iPad/iPhone unit upside), we believe this may be largely embedded into the valuation," Um writes."Gross margins have decreased by an average of 225 basis points (bps) in the period following the launch of new form factor iPhones while increasing ~225bps in the two quarters following an "s" launch. With the secular story, in our opinion, largely over, we believe the stock may be more susceptible to trend with margins." by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: firstname.lastname@example.com News 6 Pharma Stocks In News Highway Robbery: 10 States With Highest Sales Tax 10 States With The Lowest Sales Tax

It's a crying shame to let this rare instructor lose her job
Published 10:00 pm, Sunday, August 28, 2005
All summer, tears have been shed and teeth gnashed over classes and programs sliced from Seattle public schools.
Outdoor and environmental programs. Classes that join young hands across cultural divides. Even inspirational teachers and coaches. All were axed and deeply mourned
Meanwhile, two women personally wounded by what may be the most bitterly ironic cut of all simply set to work to solve their problem.
Tutor, teaching assistant and role model Tanishia Finister was the only African American instructor at the Seattle school named for the late John Stanford. That's right, the lone African American at John Stanford International School, the school that honors the memory of Seattle's most influential African American educator.

Then, in June, even she was gone.
The single mother of two and aspiring teacher was crushed, and not just because her already meager living was lost. She so loved helping the students who struggled with math and reading that she offered to work for even less if only she could stay on. No dice.
But Mattie Shaw, the veteran educator and reading and math specialist whom Finister assisted so ably for the past two years, wasn't giving up without a fight.
"The Seattle School District has made a great commitment to 'Courageous Conversations' about race. They want their staff to be sensitive to and about people of color and they put a great emphasis on diversity and understanding," Shaw told me.
"We have these lofty ideals but, at the grass roots, we have this wonderful person of African American descent whose job has been eliminated."
So? Times are tough.
But Finister's loss reaches beyond teacher-student ratios, performance goals and help for teachers with too many kids to a class, Shaw said. Whether she was monitoring a "computer academy," mentoring a flock of faltering students or floating from class to class to assist teachers, Finister's warm and highly visible presence was a wordless lesson in itself.
"She offered exposure to someone who may see the world differently than I do," Shaw said.
Among white kids and students from Somalia and other African countries, amid Hispanic kids and Asian kids, Finister connected in a way that is impossible to quantify on a spread sheet. She mentored. And she listened. She shared her own struggles and dreams. She braided the hair of white middle-school girls into cornrows and understood their lyrics and insecurities.
The loss was too much for Shaw, a 27-year ed biz veteran, to simply take lying down.
"She is so good at what she does. And losing the only African American person on our staff was too important," she said.
So Shaw approached the Alhadeff Foundation. And, with a seed grant, she and Finister managed to acquire enough money to bring the tutor-assistant back for at least two months in the fall.
Then, with the help of Ken and Marleen Alhadeff, who own Ballard's Majestic Bay Theater, the women devised a benefit aimed at paying Finister's salary for the remainder of the year.
On Saturday, Oct. 22, at 9 a.m. they will host a screening of the inspirational 2000 movie, "Finding Forrester," based on the novel by James Ellison. The film stars Sean Connery as a teacher who both mentors and is salvaged by a young, brilliant black student played by real-life student athlete Rob Brown.
It was the perfect choice, Shaw said. Now she and Finister are selling $25 tickets to the event.
Shaw has spent her entire career working with kids who need a little extra help.
But this is a particularly troubled time for education in Seattle, she said. Her school has seen its English as a Second Language teacher cut back to three-quarter time. It has lost sorely needed counselors, a nurse, family support workers and even custodians. Teachers are cleaning their own classrooms. But that just makes her determined to try harder not to lose Finister, too.
Tears won't help but tickets might.

Ta-da! Superfoods!
I have been ailing and lost my appetite. That is horrible!! I would rather be fat and like food than puny and not want even a bite.
Yes, we are all fat fat, fat…we get it, nannies and doctors. But maybe we need a change in emphasis—try to eat more superfoods.
This idea comes from Dr Kristen Bobik of Chicago Healers (www.chicagohealers.com).
What's a superfood? Well, not necessarily some pond sc…algae. Common things like, say, eggs. Eggs used to be a food rascal, but now are considered a super protein source. Even the yolks contain choline—which can protect heart and brain function.
Kale and spinach are mighty. The darker green the better. These are packed with vitamin K—so watch it if you are on a blood thinner.
Avocados. They are fatty, but the "good" fat linked to reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
Salmon is a yummy great protein source. It prevents almost everything and will even load the dishwasher!
Apples—twice the fiber of other fruits. They contain all kinds of natural substances to aid digestion and prevent premature cell aging.
Blueberries…Good for your eyes, vision (my interest), and brain function (also an interest, I guess). Blueberries also reduce random inflammation in your body.
Want more? OK—olive oil (see below, scroll down). Garlic—lowers total cholesterol and triglycerides (fat in blood). Especially good if you've had a heart attack—eat a few cloves a day!
Almond are another powerhouse. Maybe a dozen at a time—they are caloric, but can help with weight loss.
This is not making be nauseated, so I may be almost better. Hoping.

Midgets at midseason point: DHS prepares for state meet preview in Valley City
The cross country season is a process, whether it's putting on more miles or sharping the mental edge.
Though the first half of the season for the Dickinson High boys and girls cross country teams has been solid, head coach Brittany Messer knows there is still room for improvement.
The Midgets will get a preview of the state meet traveling to the Valley City Invitational at 11 a.m. Saturday. The Valley City course is the host site of the state cross country meet.
"I've been impressed, but I still think that there are still improvements to be made on both the boys and girls side," Messer said. "We need more of a mental edge going into WDA and state, but this week is really going to be the weekend that tells us where we are at with the rest of the state."
On the girls side, the Midgets haven't had much to complain about. Dickinson is currently ranked fourth in the state and placed runner-up at the Mandan Invitational last Saturday.
"The season has gone really well," Dickinson freshman Elizabeth Yoder said. "We've met all our goals so far.
"(The Valley City Invitational) is probably one of the most important meets this season. We'll get to run the course and we'll see where everyone else is at in the state."
One key to the Midgets' success early in the season has been the training during the offseason. Messer said there wasn't any hesitation putting on early mileage.
"It was definitely a plus for a lot of the girls that came in base mileage," she said. "We could run them up to their peak mileage without worrying about injuries."
Another bright spot -- especially for an underclassman -- has been the veteran leadership. The Midgets have four senior leaders in Shannon Stockert, Taylor Ihmels, Kelli Pavlicek and Katie Pavlicek.
Though there is plenty of leadership to go around, Yoder said the team works extremely well together not only at practice, but during meets. The Midgets signature to run as a pack has helped multiple runners place in the top 20 in every meet.
"Our seniors are awesome," Yoder said. "We are all supportive of each other and constantly encouraging each other. It just pushes us to go a little bit further."
On the boys side, Jackson Binstock claimed his first varsity win during the Mandan Invitational. The junior was ranked No. 3 going into the race.
Binstock believes the Valley City Invitational is going to be a tell-tale sign of where everybody stands in the state.
"I'm happy with the season, for the most part," Binstock said. "I'd like to get my times down a little bit more and I just have to run more miles to get those down."
Though the rest of the runners on the boys side have been far from Binstock during each invitational, the junior runner can see improvements every day in practice.
"They just have to keep working every day and everyone else will eventually get up there," Binstock said.

I believe that Mr. F. Guffey is trying to insinuate (albeit in a rambling and disjointed way) that using fillers in general will cause chamber ringing. In other words, I think he is trying warn people away from fillers. (Why he couldn't just SAY that is beyond me.)
So, I will say just what I always say to those who trot out that old swayback nag.....that fillers will likely ring your chamber and ruin your gun. What I say to that is - NONSENSE. Fillers will cause problems if the user does NOT know HOW to use them.....and uses them incorrectly. So, if you don't know how, then DON'T do it. Simple as that. Leave fillers to those who KNOW - or take the time to LEARN - rather than trying to throw a wet blanket over the concept.
I myself (and others here) have been using fillers for many years (over 10 years, in my case)....with NO ill effects whatsoever. I have, in fact, achieved improved accuracy, with jacketed rifle bullets, moderate loads of medium-slow rifle powders (IMR 4895, for example) and dacron fibrefill. I use dacron or cotton wool filler in EVERY one of my paper-patched, cast bullet 8mm Mauser loads (and have for many years) - with excellent accuracy and consistency. With it, I get 2100 - 2200 fps from an 18" barrel, 1.5" or smaller groups at 100 yds, a clean bore after shooting 40 - 50 rounds and no discernible barrel wear - all while using soft, PLAIN base cast bullets (NO gas checks). NO rings in my barrels, either.

Drainage problems discovered at Lincoln
At the Washington Community School District's (WCSD) school board meeting on Wednesday, May 8, board members found out there is an issue with the 1992 addition at Lincoln Elementary School.
Superintendent Dr. Mike Jorgensen told the board that Dan Culp from Carl A. Nelson and Company, who is working on the designs for the new boiler at the old junior high school, told him about the issue at Lincoln.
"We have been looking at the Lincoln School '92 building and we may need to do exploratory surgery of one of the corners of the building to see what is going on under the roof and behind the exterior wall finishes," Culp wrote in an e-mail that Jorgensen provided to the board members.
Jorgensen gave the board further information. He said there are drainage issues with a corner in that part of the building.
"The bid package on the Lincoln building is probably going to be two different things," Jorgensen said. "One is probably going to be basically replacing all the tuck point and caulking around the windows, which we won't have any problem getting that ready to go. But the other thing is maybe more of a structural question with the draining of the '92 addition."
Jorgensen said he wonders why Stewart Elementary isn't having the same issue because the same company built it at the same time Lincoln was done.
"Why is one deteriorating like it is and one is not?" Jorgensen said. "It may be a situation where we have to take one of those corners and remove the brick and see why the water is draining inside of the wall instead of in the drain."
Jorgensen also spoke to the board about the high school boiler bid. There have been some delays getting the bid package ready. He wanted the bid package done for May 8 school board meeting but it didn't happen.
"Now we're hoping to have the bid package ready and out by the end of May," he said, "and we'll be looking at a bid opening date of sometime in the third week of June."
This means the replacement of the boiler won't be done until after school begins, Jorgensen said.
"It really shouldn't be anything that disrupts school or the heating season," he said.
A special meeting will probably be held near the third week of June to review and approve the boiler bids.

PALM COAST, Fla. - An 88-year-old Central Florida woman was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of poking an 8-months-pregnant woman in her stomach with a cane during an argument.
Nayade Romeo, of Palm Coast, was arrested on charges of aggravated battery and aggravated battery of a pregnant woman.
According to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, Romeo got into an argument with her neighbors, Scott and Melinda Smith,over their children's sweat shirts being on her lawn.
Deputies said Romeo poked Scott in the stomach with her cane and did the same thing to his pregnant wife Melinda, who had tried to separate the two.
Romeo doesn't deny raising her cane, but says it was to protect herself.
She says she never hit anyone because her neighbor Melinda grabbed it from her.
"She was swining it up, north and south and east and west," she said.
Romeo's husband came out minutes after the incident and took his wife inside their home, deputies said.
Romeo told deputies that she wanted to file charges against the couple for trespassing.
The couple said they wanted to pursue charges against Romeo, who was taken into custody and transported to the Flagler County jail.
The Smith's have not responded to requests for an interview

I think everyone agrees, Healer. Nobody likes this wedding dress :-)
Starlord, I've been to a couple of fashion shows, and was in 2 others when I was younger. I seen some ugly clothing, and this was bad!
We're still waiting for someone to say he loves this outfit, Meadownman
I was going to comment, but after reading those already made I couldn't possibly top what's been said.
Indeed Treker, you were the first man. But she's still in her cocoon.
@ Healer: Ever seen a fashion show? The things they show there are sometimes hilarious. Nobody wants to wear that.... I hope.
Looks like a chenille bedspread to me! They've got to be kidding, right?
I was the first (ahem, MAN) to comment and I'm still laughing. Appears to be something emerging from a cocoon. Hmmm,...Madam Butterfly!!!!!
Would have loved to know just what the men were thinking.
4.679.541 male hooligans? You're not serious. Who's are they? Name them, as I don't believe you.
That must have been a great wedding... No hustle...
Strikes me that there are only women commenting. Men are thinking: Shhhh, shut up, don't do that....
Or they are not allowed to comment by their wife.
- - - You could only think of 2 female hooligans. When there are 4,679,541 male hooligans!
- - - While walking along a river beach a few summers ago we came upon a nudist wedding....Well, at least they were all naked, so I'm assuming they were nudists, but anyway....The bride wore a lovely garter, the groom had a beautiful bow tie and the bridesmaids carried a single flower. My only thought, after giggling hysterically, was wouldn't you be just so proud to show your wedding photos to the grandkids!
- - - - It seems like the smarty pants dance should be performed to "The Hustle."
Smarty pants dance :-)
OK, OK, I give up - you're hopeless!!!!!!!! ;-o)
Euh... Calamity Jane, Bonnie... are the first names that come to mind. And indeed, men may be the best bankrobbers. It's a living, isn't it? :-)
Hmmmmm. A major motion picture featured Julia Child!!!!! It seems to many intelligent women that it is mostly men who claim the best chefs are men. And who are the best bank robbers and serial killers and ... and hooligans? (I just threw "hooligans" in for good measure)
Who says there isn't a weiner inside? :-)
Ouch, designed by a man. You just hit me in my manhood. Bad bad mpil.
And who are the best chefs in the world? Women?
No ma'am, the best chefs are men.
Now go sit in a corner and weep :-)
So, not a burkah, not a Halloween costume, not a winter blankie. I haven't had breakfast yet - it looks like a white corn dog. (I was going to say that unfortunately there isn't a weiner inside - and I just did) As much as we make fun of it, this (???) could only have been designed by a MAN.
Ofcourse you share my opinion... :-)
If it were green, it would be a cucumbre.
Well, on this, at least, I do share your opinion--I think it's hideous!
Sure, everyone is entitled to share my opinion :-)
This is too much fun all the comments. I guess everyone has their own opinion right.
@ Pdevredis: indeed, I saw that movie. And it may have inspired the designers, but... I still don't like it.
@ Pkin: Well, I did say it was a bit rude, didn't I :-) And oh yes, I have seen pictures of weddings without a wedding dress. Actually, with no dress or clothing at all
I guess I shouldn't say that because we do have nudist colonies.
Shame on you for the get married in nude. I don't think any bride would want that.
I'm glad you mentioned the condom, because that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this, but I wasn't sure if I should say that...! Did you ever see the Naked Gun movie, where Leslie Nielson and Priscilla Presley practice safe sex--they are both dressed head to toe in giant condoms! Maybe that's what gave this "fashion" designer the idea......
Get married in blue gives you a different view
Get married in white, you'll get sunshine and light
Get married in the nude... no, that's a bit rude
and on and on and on... :-)
My dress was a blue. They say get married in blue always be true - get married in white you fuss and fight - get married in red you wish you were dead - get married in black you wish you were back and on and on
Oh, I saw that several times.... in movies
With booties, it could be a nice blanket for winter. And really, when has a man ever said No at the very last moment?????
So your dress must have been oldfashioned then, as this is the nowaday look.
No my wedding dress was not like that one for sure.
No burkha, this is for real. Presented at a fashion show. I thought it looked SO classy that I was eager to share it with you... not !
She looks like a white banana, a woman dressed in a condom, In all fairness, that would be a reason to say 'no' at the very last moment.
Those designers need to be hip and renew things, but this... yuck.
Would anyone like this? I suppose not.
Burkha in white, without the veil for non-Muslim women. 'Fashion' designed by a man!!!!!!! Or Halloween long marshmellow costumn. Or . . .
Great dress, isn't it? That's called 'fashion'. I bet your wedding dress was not like this one.
She just might turn into a butterfly. I'm not waiting. What a dress.
She's the bride, Treker. Show some respect :-)
Who knows, she might turn into a butterfly some day soon.

Truck & 4x4 » Bed Wood and Parts
Client Bed Wood and Parts, LLC is known for exceptional customer service, and for what seems like endless applications which are tailored to the specific needs of each customer. From their inception, the mission of Bed Wood and Parts, LLC was (and remains) to offer their customers, the highest quality service and products, at a competitive price, which brings the dreams and aspirations to reality for those that are serious about their pickup.
Project Overview/ Challenge Having a couple of years of experience with eCommerce prior to choosing Web Design Solutions/ Web Shop Manager™ (WSM), they had a good idea of what they wanted, and didn't want for their eCommerce experience. Their biggest concern was being assured that the customer would be able to easily search for their specific vehicle without going through countless click throughs.
Solution Web Design, Web Designers, Web Hosting, E-Commerce, Content Management System, Blog/News, Search Engine Optimization, Event Calendar, Photo Gallery
Results Choosing WSM for their eCommerce CMS meant that organizing product for Year/Make/Model inquiries using the Attributes module was simple. The customer experience has been greatly improved and happy site visitors make very happy customers.
Client Quote Although we have had an online presence for the past few years, the success and function of the website during that period was nothing short of a disaster, so to say I was apprehensive when we began with WDS/WSM is the understatement of the century. It did not take long for me to see that Dana and team welcome a challenge, had a whatever it takes attitude, and follow through to see the successful completion of a our site. I am very pleased with their performance, the performance of our site, and am looking forward to bright future with WDS/WSM.

June Morris, nee Meadham, sent us this photo of the 1st Grimsbury Guides and Rangers taken in May 1953. The girls were captured in London's Trafalgar Square before leaving for the World Guide Centre Our Chalet at Adelboden in Switzerland. Mrs Morris, then 17, said: "It was a marvellous holiday of which I have very happy memories. Now, 61 years later I am going with Trefoil Guild Anglia Region to Our Chalet. This time staying in a Gartenhaus with a bed, not sleeping on the floor in the attic!" Mrs Morris joined the Guides when she was 11 and stayed until she had her two sons.
In 1972 she came back to run the 2nd Banbury Guides. Since then she has taken many positions, both in Wales and now in Abingdon. If you are pictured in the photograph and would like to get in touch with Mrs Morris, call 01295 227786.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: open
Led is properly on so I don't know what to do. Drivers are not needed and seems to be ok...
Any help?
Example: You have local drives A:, C:, and D: (a floppy, a hard disk, and a DVD). You then map a network drive to E:. If you next plug in a USB drive, a bug in Windows will cause it to decide that E: is what it should map the USB drive to, causing a collision. All kinds of weird results can happen, but one of them is that you can't "see" the contents of the drive. The fix is to make sure you map your network drives higher up (I start with Z: and work down from there for mapped network drives).
Google "Q297694" for the MS support article if this sounds like it might be your problem.
Plug in a flash drive. If that is recognised correctly, you can be 95% sure the operating system is ok and the drive is knackered. To test this theory further, try plugging the drive into another PC.
1) Unplug the drive. Go into the device manager and uninstall the driver (it'll be hidden so you'll have to show it). Restart Windows and try again.
2) Temporarily uninstall antivirus and firewall software (and disconnect from the internet). Restart Windows and try again. It would probably be advisable to uninstall the driver too.
When fails invites the error is non specified 80004005 so I really don't know what to try now.
Changing drive letter doesn't help either.
For some reason disc can't be initilized in this xp (I did in my other pc)..
What operating system was the other PC running? You said you had to initialize and partition it - what format did you use (FAT32 or NTFS)?
What is the exact error message and when does is occur?
Is the drive visible in the disk manager?
Have you tried plugging in a flash drive - does that work ok?
I don't have one...
What operating system was the other PC running?
Win XP too
You said you had to initialize and partition it - what format did you use (FAT32 or NTFS)? I had, full format (took long) NTFS, and I see it ok in my other pc.
When I plug in mine again, the same thing: Appears as Disc1, tries to run wizard that fails saying that I should check "registro de suscesos del sistema" something like system error logs, where it figures an LDM (local disk managment I assume) error unknown or not specified 80004005 it ocurrs when you try to initialize the disc1 (I don't understand why I must do that again I expected to happily see a G unit as in my other pc.
Is the drive visible in the disk manager?
Yes, as Disc 1 non initialized, unknown on left and Un asigned on right (in my own pc)
In the other pc appears ok initialized,on screen , correct and shows in Mypc, etc
I've never tried it with XP, but I think you can perform a repair install, assuming you have a CD. This would probably be advisable. Other than that, your best bet may be to seek professional help.

Colorado Bingo-Raffle Advisory Board Meeting Minutes
Date: February 20, 2013Location: Secretary of State's Office, Blue Spruce
Conference Room, 1700 Broadway, Denver, COMembers present: Dan Gincig, Beau Williams, Tom Bednark, Austin
GomesMembers absent: Vera CravenSecretary of State officials present: Mike Hardin, Greg Lestikow, Shannon Bee, Brian
Gryth, Lisa Marty, Darleen Herrera
Meeting was called to
order at 10:05 A.M.
The Pledge of Allegiance
was conducted.
A motion was made by Tom Bednark to approve the September 12, 2012,
meeting minutes as presented. The motion
was seconded by Dan Gincig and approved by unanimous vote of the Board.
Potential Board members
Dan Gincig discussed the new and potential new board members.
Mr. Gincig reported that Rick Johnson has been appointed by the
legislature and will take office on July 1, 2013. The Secretary of State has
not yet received the appointment letter Three more potential candidates are
waiting on house approval:
These individuals are waiting on the process of being approved. With these members in place, the Board will still
be in need of two more members.
Current board members who will be leaving include Austin (leaving today)
and Tom Bednark who will complete his term on 7-1-13.
Secretary of State report
Suzanne Staiert, Deputy Secretary of State, recognized Austin Gomes
for his 40 years of service to the bingo community. The Deputy Secretary presented Mr. Gomes
with a certificate and coin.
Shannon Bee was also recognized for her promotion to Bingo/Raffle
Program Manager.
Financial presentation
Shannon Bee and Greg Lestikow provided an overview of the financial
There was discussion between the board, the audience and staff about the
reduction of progressive pulltabs. Progressive pulltabs are thought to be more
complicated/difficult than other activities.
Current bingo event games (bullets) have taken over progressive pulltab
players (comments included from Rich Lemon (supplier), Perry Jultak (licensee)
and Marc Walegur (licensee)).
The Secretary of State's fee reduction for the 3rd and 4th
quarter of 2012 has resulted in a savings of $300,000 to charities to put back
into their organization. Fee reductions are
reviewed quarterly and may remain in place at least until the state's fiscal
year end, which is 6/30.
Adopted rules changes
Greg Lestikow provided an overview on the approved rules changes and
those not changed. The Secretary of State's
office received comments from the board and bingo community with regard to
potential rules changes.
Adopted rules
Rules not adopted
Greg Lestikow also went over the rules that were not changed.
Did not increase
electronics from 36 to 54. Discussion
on this topic included the fact that in the past the Secretary of State's
office had a test done to see how many faces an individual could accurately
play at one time, which was determined to be 36.
Dan Gincig commented that tests were done in his hall to determine if
you were more likely to win if you played a machine or played paper. According to Mr. Gincig, the test determined
no notable difference. Fifty percent won
with paper and fifty percent won with machines.
There was discussion that with more faces on machines the probability of
winning would change. Future tests may
need to be conducted.
Did not increase
number of occasions or prize limit. Feedback
received by the Secretary of State's office from small groups stated these changes
would harm small groups. Small groups
would be affected by the larger groups that could afford more occasions and higher
prize limits. In addition, these changes were recommended to accommodate
pari-mutuel games, which are relatively new in the Colorado market. The
Secretary of State is reluctant to make such significant changes for games
whose effects on the community are still unknown.
Progressive raffles
Mike Hardin testified on February 6, 2013 on a bill presented by Representative
Jonathan Singer that would allow for progressive raffles. With raffle revenue
increasing this is another way to improve revenue for licensees.
Board discussions
Lydia Lopez discussed groups allowing one individual to buy out a
pulltab bucket. Investigator Herrera
stated there is no rule against it. It is
up to the licensee. Dan Gincig stated halls can place rules against this
activity as well.
Beau Williams again addressed his concerns about charging fees on gross
profit rather than net profit. Veterans
groups, such as his, sometimes make small profits and paying fees on the gross
negatively affects many groups. Dan Gincig
reminded everyone that paying administrative fees funds the bingo section of
the Secretary of State's office, and that the calculation of these fees is set
in statute.
Dan again mentioned the new potential members. Greg Lestikow and Corky Kyle have both been
in contact with the Legislative Director of the House regarding the process of
the new members. It is in process but
moving slowly.
Dan Gincig is working with a legislator on a bill to deal with
electronics and number of patterns allowed.
The bill is in the process of being written. Mr. Gincig anticipates the bill passing but
the Secretary of State's office would not comment on the bill until they have a
chance to review it.
Improving bingo revenue and profits
The Secretary of State's office has obtained the services of Runge Consulting
to review and comment on improving bingo in Colorado. Mr. Runge has conducted interviews with
players, licenses, landlords, suppliers, as well as discussions with other
states operating bingo. With Mr. Runge's
marketing background he brings a great deal of experience to his study. This is a positive step toward improving bingo
revenue and interest in charitable gaming.
The Secretary of State's office anticipates the report being completed
by the next board meeting.
The next meeting
of the Board will be April 17, 2013.

Just a drawing I made of Link and Razel. :) Razel is an adult in this drawing, that's why he looks different. The glowing spot on Link is part of Razel's magic. Sorry for the horrible background, I had no ideas.

There are plenty of people selling Belkin F5L008 Mouse Trap mouse pads through Amazon, but if you want the one in gray, you're going to have to pay a little bit more than you'd expect… like about $9,989 more (plus shipping).

Northern Ireland 'complacent over peace lines'
A once in a lifetime chance to tackle sectarianism could be missed because of cuts in community relations youth work, it has been claimed.
Northern Ireland is being too complacent about division and the number of peace lines has not fallen following the end of armed conflict, the Community Relations Council (CRC) said.
The youth services budget has been cut by £50,000 and now stands at £27.6 million. Education Minister Caitriona Ruane said much of the savings could be made from management efficiencies.
CRC chief executive Duncan Morrow said: "Communities are crying out for support in breaking the cycle of sectarianism and violence among young people.
"Yet at the very moment when we need to be normalising a culture of interaction and equality we are savagely reducing all public support for schools and youth work in this area."
He said they understood difficult decisions had to be made about how best to use limited public money, but reducing funding available to support inter-community work with young people was "short-sighted and ill-advised".
"This is vitally important work which is intended to build the capacity of young people to create a shared future," he added.
"Young people want a new conversation, not to be forced back into the same lines as the past."
Ms Ruane said the "modest" reduction will be covered by an improvement in management before the Education and Skills Authority is introduced to ensure savings are delivered.
"I remain committed to the youth service and its role as an important part of the education system, one which helps all young people, in particular those who feel socially excluded, to develop their potential to the full," she added.
