Ray Smith: Hit man and undercover deputy
By Henry Pierson Curtis, Orlando Sentinel
August 19, 2014
Ray Smith spent years as a hit man, a violent tax protester and a white supremacist. He pretended to be all of those things while working as an undercover deputy with the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Ready to talk on any topic, the former volunteer firefighter, bartender and bouncer duped scores of criminals into thinking he was one of their own. Even people who wanted to hire a killer. "Are his brains going to fly?," a state employee in Orlando asked after hiring an undercover deputy in a sting arranged by Smith in 1991 to kill her boss.

September 14, 2013
Deputies say the public's help was crucial in finding the man accused of robbing a Subway Sept. 7. Daniel Robert Cool, 35, of Orlando allegedly walked into the store at 7515 S. Orange Avenue just before 10:15 a.m. with his hand under his shirt and acted as if he had a gun, said Jane Watrel, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office. "You need to give me all the money that you have," he told a clerk. Fearing for her life, the clerk opened the register drawer. Cool took an undisclosed amount of cash and took off in a white, older model Chrysler Sebring with a tan convertible top and black wheels, Watrel said.

Orlando man arrested, accused of impersonating a deputy
By Desiree Stennett, Orlando Sentinel
August 18, 2014
When Jose Ortiz walked into the Lakeview Inn and Suites on South Orange Blossom Trail Sunday afternoon, he said he was an Orange County deputy who was working on an investigation. But the staffers knew there was something strange about him. Ortiz, 49 of Orlando, told the hotel staff that he was investigating corruption between deputies and security staff at a nearby nightclub and said he needed two parking passes so he could park in the hotel parking lot, his arrest report said. Ortiz was dressed in clothing similar to what a deputy would wear and had a utility belt that held a stun gun, pepper spray and handcuffs.
Two charged in out-of-control party at apartment complex, deputies say
By Kevin P. Connolly, Staff Writer
August 18, 2014
Revelers scattered early Sunday after an officer crashed what he described as an "out-of-control" party at a University of Central Florida-area apartment complex. Two residents — 20-year-old Twanee Kaitlyn Ryan and 19-year-old Tatyana Jenae Johnson — were arrested at The Retreat at Orlando, where more than 200 gathered late Saturday and early Sunday, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said in a report. They were charged with holding an open house party — a misdemeanor. "Numerous" partygoers at the complex off University Boulevard were probably underage because they dropped alcoholic beverages they were holding and ran when they spotted an officer at 12:40 a.m. Sunday, Sgt. Brett Parnell said in a report.

By Tiffany Walden, Orlando Sentinel
August 15, 2014
A man toting a shotgun robbed a Circle K on South Orange Blossom Trail early Friday, making this the second robbery at that store in weeks, officials said. Orange County deputies responded to the store near at 9999 S. Orange Blossom Trail — near Central Florida Parkway — about 3:30 a.m. An armed man walked into the store and demanded money from the clerk, Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Lourdes Clayton said. The clerk complied, and the robber ran out the store with "an undisclosed amount of cash," she said.
Bizarre abuse inflicted on children, Polk couple arrested, deputies say
By Kevin P. Connolly, Staff Writer
August 15, 2014
Pills were shoved down the girl's throat. The kids were forced to sit on cans of vegetables until their buttocks got numb. Two Polk County children, an 11-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, were subjected to painful and bizarre forms of abuse, leading to charges against their guardians, the Sheriff's Office said today. Sean Pearson, 33, and 21-year-old girlfriend Jessica Rowland, both of Lakeland, were both charged Thursday with six counts aggravated child abuse and one count of false imprisonment.
Suspect stole van from repo man, deputies say
By Kevin P. Connolly, Staff Writer
August 12, 2014
A Volusia County man landed in jail late Monday after a last-ditch attempt to keep his repossessed minivan. Tim Moore, 43, of DeLand was charged with grand theft after he jumped into the seized 2005 Kia van that was still strapped to a tow truck and drove away. The felony charge was based "on the fact that the van had been legally repossessed and therefore possession of the vehicle had already changed hands at the time that Moore drove it away," Gary Davidson, a spokesman for the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, said.

The Road Map: Arafat's Pension, Sharon's Settlements
Sharon's main success was halting the dialogue on a final status agreement that Barak and Clinton tried to reach with Arafat. Now, the talk is of a graduated peace process, with political and security reforms on the Palestinian side.
Ariel Sharon was in no hurry to read the American "road map" for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - and he had good reason. The document handed to him in Washington is searing proof of the failure of Israeli diplomacy. Despite the close coordination, the secret envoys and the mutual flattery, the administration dropped an surprise on Israel. Jerusalem knew about the preparations for the map. But its content was a secret up to the last minute.
The whole thing, of course, can be dismissed as usual, by saying it's an empty shell. It's pretty certain the map won't be implemented and will join the shelved Clinton, Mitchell, Tenet and Zinni plans. Its real importance is the political legitimacy it gives both sides. The new plan was approved by the White House, and is not the product of "peaceniks" from the State Department, who have yet to finish burying Oslo. As an expression of current U.S. policy, it enables an observer to evaluate Israeli achievements during two years of intifada, and especially the results of Sharon's refusal to negotiate under fire.
Sharon's main success was halting the dialogue on a final status agreement that Barak and Clinton tried to reach with Arafat. Now, the talk is of a graduated peace process, with political and security reforms on the Palestinian side. Israel was rescued from another agreement with the despised Arafat. But the administration rejected Sharon's demand for a "long-term" interim agreement and instead committed itself to a Palestinian state and an end to the occupation within three years. That's the prize the Palestinians get for keeping up their intifada.
But it's not an automatic prize, because progress from stage to stage is conditional on the implementation of the tasks at each level - by both sides. Sharon is grasping at that sliver and fighting to save it. But it's not an easy fight. The U.S. wants to give supervision on the ground to an international body including the Europeans and the UN, which are hostile to Israel. Presumably, they'll pressure for quick progress and will ignore Palestinian violations.
Sharon tends to say that there are no free lunches in relations between states. The road map is an expensive dinner and difficult to digest for him. Israel wants reforms and Arafat gone, and is required in return to absorb the terror attacks without retaliating. The U.S. accepted the Palestinian argument that as long as the IDF is in their cities, they can't fight terror. The first stage frees the Palestinians from the need to take real action against Hamas and Islamic Jihad. It's enough for them to declare their opposition to the violence, and to unify their security forces. Israel, on the other hand, is required to restrain its military responses and return to the Oslo model of "security cooperation."
Sharon is being told to pay for getting rid of Arafat with the settlements, the apples of his eye. Oslo postponed dealing with the settlements to the end of the road. The road map puts them square in the middle of the interim stages: First the illegal outposts and an end to the land grabs, followed by a complete freeze on construction, and for dessert, "additional action," a heavy hint about evacuating settlements. Even the "third redeployment" of Oslo - meaning further withdrawals in the West Bank - is back.
There are some ridiculous phrases in the American document. Its authors wanted to satisfy both sides, so they left some escape hatches for the two sides. Sharon will respond, as usual, with a "yes, but ... " and hope the Palestinians evade fulfilling their part. The plan expects Arafat to send himself into early retirement within a few weeks of its approval. It's difficult to believe he'll adopt it.
The distance between the situation on the ground and the Washington papers loomed bigger than ever this week. Terror rages, the occupation deepens, and the outposts remain on the hilltops. But despite Israel's firm stance and its tactical successes against terror, Jerusalem's position has been eroded, and its dependency on the U.S. has grown, as proved by Sharon's panicky request for financial aid from the U.S. That's important to remember when the time comes for the political bill.

text: On our 1st anniversary trip (in 2001 - one year after we were there for our honeymoon), we looked into DVC. At the time we had my student loans, car payments and rent that pretty much ate our income - not to mention that I had a short period of time to go before I had to get my masters! So we waited. When our son was born, we looked again. We kept saying "if we had DVC, we'd take larger groups of extended family" and always ended up deciding we'd need SO MANY POINTS and it just wasn't feasible. And then it hit us - we would mostly travel with 3-5 people, so actually base need on THAT. Add in DH's profit share from his company and our tax refund and we realized that we can FINALLY do it now. Only to find out that there's just no availability where we want to be (DH says if he's spending that much money, he wants minimal buses - so monorail or ability to walk to Epcot is required. Also DH will only buy direct - I know about resale and all, but if this is what his requirement is to buy in? I'm not going to complain!) So we called...and based on talking to my husband, the guide felt like he wouldn't be happy with AKV and neither of us want Aulani as a home resort. So we have a few options. He could put us on the waitlist at BWV or BCV, but the expirations on those are sooner and our son is very young - he felt like we should veer away from those for that reason since there are other resorts that meet DH's criteria with longer periods. Our next option is waitlist at BLT, but his concern was that if we wanted to add on later, it could be a long time to get our UY there (he said he's got a client that's been on the list for >6 months). So unless we change our mind, he's got us on his shortlist to call when GFV goes on sale. I'd really hoped we could be going "home" for our fall trip to celebrate DS's birthday (He's a halloween baby and loves that he can trick-or-treat and have cake at MK before the actual day and then do it again at home LOL). I know that *technically* we haven't been waiting any length of time at all, but it's been more than 12 years that I've been working to make this happen! What do any of you think the chances of GFV going on sale before we have to book a late Sept/early Oct trip are? I'm thinking about calling as soon as the window opens and booking ADRs and then doing rooms much later just in case.

WHO: Carrie Wright, Tyler
WHAT: "Goodnight Moon," by Margaret Wise Brown
WHY: It's a sweet story. I used to read to my girls before bed when they were toddlers.
WHO: Jimmy Arber, Tyler
WHAT: Blueberries and blackberries
WHY: Of course you can tell by looking at me I am not a hater of any food except beets. That being said, I really enjoy putting real blueberries and blackberries in my cereal and ice cream because it's a feel-good thing. It takes me back to when I was a kid and we used to pick them with my grandmother. Nice memory.
WHO: David Hill, Tyler
WHAT: Coming home
WHY: When my wife and I get home, our dog runs loops around the living room, bounces off the couch and leaps into our arms. She does this every single day, and no matter how tired or worn out we are, that dog's boundless energy, enthusiasm and joy at seeing us always makes us happy.
WHO: Beth Lytle, Flint
WHAT: "Field of Dreams"
WHY: I've seen it probably a dozen times, and I still get choked up every time James Earl Jones steps tentatively over that base line and chuckles giddily back at Kevin Costner.
WHO: Zuker Gill, Tyler
WHAT: Zig Ziglar
WHY: He taught me that there is something positive to be gained from every occurrence. It's not about just sales. Sometimes you gain insight and experience. Plus I have a fondness for people with Z names.
WHO: Richard Hardin, Tyler
WHAT: REO Speedwagon's "You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish
WHY: It's high energy. You can understand the lyrics and sing along, one good tune after another, closing with a jaunty "The Unidentified Flying Tuna Trot" and "Say You Love Me or Say Goodnight."

The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.
And God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Note: This art is a bit reminiscent of the Star Wars 'Death Star' although this image is neither sinister nor one that portends evil. It looks far more like a planet or sun that is being formed in some mysterious way. If you view it as a star, then it might also be titled 'Birth Star'.

Creating art is - for me - a true give and take between what I attempt to do and what the evolving piece makes me do. Often, when I try to push the art in one direction, it responds differently and makes me take it in another. The art itself surprises me, and it directs me into the area it wants to be taken, rather than accepting what I try to make it do. And so I let myself go and the art takes over and the evolution excites, surprises and amazes me. I love it!

text: Cape Town - Stranded 1time passengers have no option but to try and make alternative arrangements with other airlines, a spokesperson said on Friday.The troubled low-cost carrier announced earlier that it had applied for business liquidation, and that all of its flights had been cancelled.Airports Company South Africa spokesperson Solomon Makgale told Fin24 that 13 1time flights were cancelled, leaving an estimated 2 000 passengers stranded in airports around the country.But a 1time spokesperson, Refilwe Masemola, said that there is nothing the company can do for the passengers.She said passengers must book a flight with another carrier, as 1time does not have the means to accommodate them.Comair CEO Erik Venter said there was very little that his company could do to help either.He said the timing was "unfortunate" as the seats of most other airlines had already been booked.The DA, however, felt that South African Airways (SAA) should should do "everything it can" to assist 1time passengers by offering discounted flights, saying that continued generous support for SAA, SA Express and Mango was one of the causes for 1time's failure.The party's spokesperson on public enterprises, Natasha Michael, said 1time's liquidations was "a blow to South African consumers and proof of the devastating effect of the anti-competitive behaviour of state-backed SAA". "The DA strongly believes that the domestic airline market will continue to suffer until such time as the Competition Commission addresses the unfair competition and anti-competitive behaviour of state carriers that are able to rely on government bail-outs and are effectively subsidised to squeeze out independent players," she said in a statement.Comair's Venter echoed her sentiments, but said due to the less efficient fleet 1time operated, the ultimate closure of the airline was "inevitable"."However, we are certain that in the absence of state-subsidised Mango, 1time would have made adequate profits to upgrade its fleet and be sustainable over the long term," he said.Meanwhile, 1time CEO Blacky Komani said earlier that company officials are working to assist passengers with refunds. "There is going to be a refund process," Komani said in a statement.

Obama Unconstrained
Now we are going to see Barack Obama unconstrained. Up to this point there was always something or someone with real political leverage over Obama that played a role in shaping his policy decisions. At different points it has been the Chicago electorate, the Illinois electorate, big donors, corn farmers in Iowa, primary voters in New Hampshire, anti-Clinton Democrats, disengaged young voters, swing voters in Ohio, Hispanics in Colorado, etc… There was always another election to consider.
Now that Obama has been swear in for his second term though there will never be another election. All there is left for Obama to worry about is his post-presidential retirement and his legacy.
Different wealthy industries can at least possibly try to influence Obama with implied promises of insane riches via huge "speech fees" or cushy positions, but even that is of limited value. Obama is already a rich and guaranteed a lucrative post-presidential career. It is simply a matter of degrees at this point.
Everyone else though now has almost no influence of the man. People can basically have just two options; try appeal to sense of morality or his ego. Obama, like every President, is obviously concerned about his legacy. He won't want to damage his place in history, but there few second decision that will be seen as raising to the level of legacy defining. It is a very small and hard to exploit leverage point.
The time when activists and regular voters had at least had some ability to force Obama's hand, even if it was minor, is now over.

Thousands of people could start the decade in a trance if an Oxfordshire hypnotist manages to carry out a mass online feat of hypnosis.
Chris Hughes, 34, hopes up to 2,000 people will take part using social networking sites Facebook and Twitter.
In a half-hour session – during which Mr Hughes claims participants will be hynotised by the power of his voice – he will test people's susceptibility by 'locking' their hands together and making it impossible for them to get out of their chairs.
After the tests, he plans to hypnotise people to feel better about themselves and fire them up to achieve their goals in 2010.
Mr Hughes, who has been a hypnotist and hypnotherapist for five years, said: "We're coming up to the new year and there are a lot of people having ideas about doing things like losing weight, so I thought it would be great if we could do something for them.
"I'm a big fan of Facebook and Twitter. The idea was to do an audio event everybody could log on and do a hypnosis session focusing on getting into the right frame of mind for the new year.
"I got a lot of interest."
The event,called Socialtrance, is at 8.30pm on Monday and more than 1,100 people have registered to take part.
Mr Hughes said: "I want it to be fun but also to educate people. It's not about control and getting people to do what I say, it's about relaxing."
Mr Hughes, who was born in Banbury and is married with two children, carries out six or seven hypnosis sessions a day, helping people to stop smoking or lose weight.
Although he hopes to set a world record, Guinness World Records spokesman Damian Field said the organisation would not recognise the attempt.
He said: "All of our records have to be measureable.
"There is no way of proving that the participants are in a state of hypnosis."
Anyone over the age of 18 with a computer or laptop with an Internet connection, a set of speakers or headphones, a comfy chair and a quiet place can take part, provided they have not been diagnosed with a mental illness, are pregnant, or are under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Epileptics should seek advice from their doctor before participating.

This recipe for two from Whimsy & Spice is the perfect Valentine's Day dessert — top it with Blueberry-Lavender Compote + Mascarpone Cream for a complete sweet + sour treat.
What You'll Need
- 3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
½ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
Grated zest of 2 meyer lemons
2 eggs
¾ cup cake flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons meyer lemon juice
What You Do
Preheat oven to 325°F. Beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest in an electric mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 1 minute, until the mixture has lightened a bit. Beat in the eggs and mix for another minute. Reduce the mixer speed, and mix in the flour and baking powder, followed by the buttermilk and lemon juice. Increase the mixer speed back to medium and beat until well-mixed and fluffy, one or two minutes longer.
Spray a muffin pan with a non-stick spray and divide the cake batter between six of the cavities. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until just fully cooked in the center. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for five minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature with blueberry-lavender compote and mascarpone cream.
Whimsy & Spice was founded in 2008 in Brooklyn, New York by the husband and wife team of Mark Sopchak and Jenna Park, who combine their skills of more than 14 years of experience in culinary arts and graphic design to produce a distinctive line of handmade cookies, marshmallows and other sweets.

So...I had a thread stuck in my featherweight. Decided to take everything apart and 'fix' it myself. Lost the gib screw and cried. DH helped me look and I did find it in the bottom of my full trash can. Now I'm having issues putting the bobbin case back in and have decided to take a break from the whole thing for the night.
Boy, do I ever appreciate my featherweight guy now. If necessary, I will visit him this week with the parts and pay him to really fix it.
I did get the thread by the way.
Thanks for 'listening',
lots2do (but too wrung out to do them now)

It will make your wallet/bank balance shrink and not change your penis size.
Rather send me your money. At least then you don't give it to some scam artist. I will even send you a cream to use, it will be as effective as androgel, in other words, it will not make 1 mm of difference.
There are no medicines, gels or creams that can make your penis size increase. Rather use your money to buy a book and learn to use what you have and you will be fine.

NEVER apply Androgel to the penis. Follow the instructions and use ONLY if it's prescribed. If your testosterone level is too high, it can cause significant issues for you. Extended high level unnaturally can increase the risk of prostate cancer. Your testosterone level MUST be check regularly if you are using Androgel or other Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Laborde Powers Smith Maritime
Smith Maritime was contracted by a Nigerian company to deliver a 200' lift boat for oil field maintenance. Smith Maritime selected the 5,000 hp tug Rhea and 400' barge Atlanta Bridge for the voyage. The barge was equipped with pumps to allow for controlled sinking and recovery in order to float the lift boat on and off. But they ran into a hitch.
Shortly before departing, Smith Maritime discovered the African port was unable to furnish power for the pumps. Within hours Smith Maritime received delivery of a 60 kW Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT, formerly Iveco) diesel generator from Laborde.
Smith Maritime also has made another large purchase from Laborde. Four of the largest Mitsubishi engines to repower their deep sea tugboats. A 90', 5,000 hp ocean tug, Elsbeth III, needed triple 12-cylinder Mitsubishi S12R-MPTA engines to power its heavy-duty operations. Her sister, Elsbeth II, is outfitted with a 1,568 hp Mitsubishi S16R-Y1MPTA.
One of the last family-owned salvage and rescue businesses, Smith Maritime vessels operate around the world, primarily between the U.S., Caribbean and South America. To accommodate its growing salvage business, Smith Maritime recently moved equipment into a nearby building, doubling its warehouse space and providing more convenient mooring for its salvage vessel Dixie Diver.
Latham Smith founded Smith Maritime in 1968 when he built his first oceangoing tugboat, Elsbeth. Since then, he has built three more, the Elsbeth II in 1987, Elsbeth III in 1998 and Rhea in 2002. The tugs are designed with maximum horsepower packaged in a shallow draft, stable hull. In addition to salvage and rescue, Smith Maritime's services include ocean and coastal towing, dock construction, pipe and cable laying, submersible operations, and cargo and dredge operations.

Yeahhh this is one of those situations where it was completely and utterly stupid. but because (thankfully) no one caught and edge and everything luckily worked out, Towner got a sick double barrel and got a cool ass POV.

The "Italian-influence" gastropub taking over the Kenny's Castaways space on Bleecker Street signed a lease for the 6,000-square-foot space last week, Side Dish has learned.
The gastropub, called Carroll Place, will open next spring. Kenny's Castaways closes tonight.
Carroll Place's owners, brothers Sergio and Mario Riva, and partner AJ Bontempo, will keep the Kenny's stage for its live music performances — where some of the biggest names in music, from Dylan to Springsteen, have played over the past 45 years.
Some of Kenny's memorabilia will also be incorporated into the new space.
"We were born and raised in New York City, and had been going to Kenny's since high school," Sergio Riva said. "When we heard it was closing, we were very interested. Bleecker Street has been down in the dumps for the past 10 years. There used to be a high-end venue here, Life. But that closed and the energy left Bleecker. We believe it is coming back."
Rafe Evans, of Walker Malloy & Co., brokered both sides of the deal.
The Riva brothers say they will be moving the bathrooms downstairs, where the kitchen will be, so they will be able to build a wider stage to hold bigger bands.
The Riva brothers also own The Diner Restaurant, on the corner of 14th Street and Ninth Avenue in the Meatpacking District; Osteria Cotta, on the Upper West Side, and La Follia, at 19th Street and Third Avenue.
The ONE Group is looking to bring Heraea, its female-friendly sports bar concept, to New York.
Jonathan Segal, CEO of the ONE Group, has been looking at spaces, including some around Grand Central Station.
Heraea (Ha-ray-uh) sports bar is named for an ancient Greek goddess who launched a female Olympics, since women were banned from competing in the boys' games.
"It was the first move against the exploitation of women," Segal said. Heraea will be focused on sports and music in a "comfortable environment with a real, proper menu — not just chicken wings and beer, but calorie conscious options as well," Segal said.

Trent Richardson says the ankle injury that held him out for Week 17 was a "mild" high-ankle sprain.
In other words, a high-ankle sprain. It's hard to classify an ankle sprain as "mild" once the word "high" is involved. Nevertheless, it's not an injury that will impact Richardson's preparation for 2013, though coupled with the ribs, chest, knee and finger ailments - that we know of - it gives him yet another injury to heal up from coming off his checkered rookie season. Richardson should be 100 percent well ahead of next summer's camp, but will have a lot to prove from a durability standpoint during his sophomore campaign.

We're hoping you caught the sarcasm in the title of this post. In all seriousness, however, news moves so fast these days that posting about Skittles today feels in a way like posting a story on Obama's campaign victory a week later.
We digress. Certainly, you have heard of Skittles PR stunt that began yesterday. The candy maker re-skinned Skittles.com to display only the Twitter search result page for the keyword Skittles. So, you go to Skittles.com to see what people are saying about Skittles on Twitter, when what they are talking about on Twitter is that Skittles re-skinned it's homepage to display only the search result page for the keyword Skittles. And so the cycle continues.
Confused yet? It's ok, so is everyone else, it seems. Some are calling it "the worst thing to ever happen to social media branding," while others say the re-skin is the "ultimate Twitter viral campaign."
Regardless, many are saying the idea was stolen from Modernista, which did the same thing a year ago.
As David Aramano, VP of Experience Design for Critical Mass writes, "…the story is bigger than what Skittles or Modernista! have done and the punditry that will inevitably swirl around it. The big takeaway is that the traditional (yes, this includes digital) model is being disrupted before our eyes. Business as usual used to mean a Flash and promo heavy website for a brand like skittles, and now it looks entirely different. And it doesn't mean it will work either. Do people really want to engage with a brand like this on Facebook, a ecosystem built primarily for managing your social and professional life?"
We agree with Armano, namely with the point that there are bigger issues at play here than this specific effort from Skittles. Also, it bears asking, what were/are the goals of the campaign? Generate a ton of link love, SEO and online conversation for the brand while experimenting in social media? Ok. It seems that Agency.com, the agency responsible for the campaign wouldn't go on the record with Advertising Age. Digital Editor Abbey Klaassen cited an "Agency.com spokeswoman" with the following statement: "Skittles as a brand is all about embracing and empowering the conversation online — just look at the YouTube entries and their Facebook page. Its kind of a natural evolution for them moving in to something like this."

MOSCOW — The state Department of Transportation approved the borough's proposal to reuse a $69,000 grant to clear overgrowth from property next to the parking lot on the east side of Main Street, Moscow Councilman Marc Gaughan said.
Initially, the PennDOT grant was for fixing the deteriorating New Deal-era stone wall on Church Street, but the price tag was too high.
Clearing the overgrowth from the embankment, which is partially owned by the borough, the county and the Northeast Regional Railroad Authority, will improve visibility for drivers, get rid of invasive plants, improve drainage and beautify the area, Mr. Gaughan said.


text: As most of you have probably heard by now, Allison and I are now engaged. After dating for five amazing years, we're tying the knot. It's crazy, it's exciting, it's pretty much the coolest thing ever. I "popped the question" on Friday, March 10, 2006. You can look at of each part of the event , and you can head on over to for updates and info on everything regarding the wedding. For the complete details on the proposal (it's long so be prepared), go ahead and read more . . . The Preparation: Let me just start off by saying that although there isn't a big long list of events that occurred throughout the night, a massive amount of planning and a severe lack of sleep was required to make it all possible, all while being more nervous then ever before in my whole life. I had many chats with my roommates about what to do, and I decided to revolve everything around a fabulous restaurant in Santa Barbara called . The night before the big day, my roommates and I went to scope out locations to go get drinks before dinner, and also went to check out the scene at . The pick for drinks was a place called . It's just a nice, quiet place to go for cocktails and dinner in downtown Santa Barbara. Then, off to . The hostess was extremely accommodating, telling me that she would do anything in her power to make the night perfect. I looked over the menu and chose our salad and entrées (Caesar Salads for both of us, Blackened Ahi Tuna for Allison, and Mahi Mahi for me), and the guy who arranges the desserts came out and explained each dessert in detail; I went with the chocolate soufflé hands down. I asked for red wine recommendations based on our food, and we got to try three different wines. Of the options, the unanimous vote was for the . I preordered everything so there would be no ordering to do the next day. Everything is ready to go. Almost. On Friday morning, I had some errands to run. First, I went downtown to buy myself a new shirt for the occasion. This is not something that I do well. I see a rack filled with clothes and I panic. Anyway, I grabbed a black shirt and went to try it on. If you've ever tried on a new dress shirt, you'll know that there are about 90 pins that you have to pull out before you try it on. All I could think was that this shirt had better fit--there's no way I'm pulling the pins on another shirt--and I better not get stabbed by a pin I missed. I think there should be a "Pin-Person" in the fitting rooms of department stores. I'm rambling. Then I went on to Trader Joe's in search of an abundance of colorful flowers. Jackpot. I got 5 bouquets: one for the table at and four for . . . well you'll see. I had two big helpers throughout the day, . When I got home I handed the flowers and some other goodies off to them ordering viagra overnight delivery, so they could bring them to before we got there. The Proposal: Here we go. Allison showed up at the door at around ordering viagra overnight delivery 2:30pm, just about 2 hours before we needed to leave. I was trying my best to play it cool, but I was insanely nervous. We had a little competition, but I lost big time (couldn't concentrate--I never lose that bad). I told her that we were going to go on a double date with , but that they cancelled on us and we would still go out; that was one of many lies. After we got ready, we went to for drinks, and really had a great time. We had a lot of great conversation; it was just fantastic to be together and have nowhere else to be. Then we headed over to . It started raining, but I knew that was coming. I had my rain jacket and my gold umbrella, so we were good. When we got to the restaurant, we were immediately brought to our table. We were placed at the best table in the whole restaurant, right by the front window. One of the first things she acknowledged was the fact that we had the best table, and a beautiful arrangement of flowers on it. After a little while she also asked why we did not get any menus. I successfully played off all these questions, and until the food and wine came without us ordering, I'm pretty sure she didn't think twice about it. At that point she definitely knew something was up; the server brought us our favorite meals; I guess I better tip them well for knowing exactly what we want! At one point between the salad and the main course, Allison went to the restroom. I was lucky to have some time to move the ring from my rain jacket to my pocket (the case was way too big to have in my pocket when we were walking around, it would have looked like I was carrying three cell phones). Also, Ryan and Kayla came to take pictures from outside (out of sight), but when they got there, Allison was not at the table. The waiter also happened to come with the food while she was gone, but he walked around the restaurant once or twice until she returned. When the dessert arrived, it was time for the big moment. The server placed a chocolate soufflé in between us, which had four "Sweethearts" candies placed on top of it that each said "Marry Me. " I had saved them and had Ryan bring them with the flowers. I pushed the plate closer to her so she could read what they said, she processed it for a few seconds, and by the time she looked up at me I was on my knee about to ask her to marry me. She has definitely never been more speechless and excited, but managed to say "Yes" countless times after a few seconds. I put the ring on her finger, which fit perfectly and looked absolutely beautiful. A few minutes later, the server brought us glasses of champagne and strawberries, along with his congratulations. We enjoyed the moment for about a half-hour, and barely touched the dessert. I called Ryan, who was waiting to bring us the car and chauffeur us back to the house. When he opened the door for Allison, the other four bouquets of flowers were arranged around a that my mom made that says And Ryan took us back to the house. The Celebration: When we opened the door to our house, we were greeted with a congratulations from all of my roommates, a bunch of friends, and . We had more champagne and just had a little party to celebrate the event, and took the time to call our families to let them know [ordering viagra overnight delivery] all about it. The next morning, we drove down to San Diego to celebrate with the family, and my parents even flew down to celebrate with us. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for dinner, and just had an with everyone. We took a drive to the Darlington House in La Jolla, where we will be getting married, and took lots of by the beach in La Jolla. Ordering viagra overnight delivery all in all, an incredibly fun and memorable weekend.

I agree with BOS. If a totally ordered data type is desirable, it shouldn't be called Float or Double. To do so violates the principle of least astonishment. As far as the proposal is concerned, if the types have different names, then I agree mostly. However, it seems to me that such types _not_ include NaN, negative zero and the infinities, because they don't make mathematical sense. Instead, the types should be Maybes that treat those IEEE values as Nothing. IEEE Floats and Doubles are _somewhat_ understood by those who need them. The rest of us should be _very_ careful when using them!

It's impossible to go wrong with a navy blazer or a Richard James jacket, so it makes perfect sense to combine the two. You can walk into Richard's Savile Row store and walk out with something off the peg without having to order a suit, and you could do a lot worse than leaving with one of these.

I sat on my bed with the note in my hand, re-reading the words. I'd Kill For You. Does the killer have a romantic interest in me? Did he follow me last night and hear my wish? What should I do? Call the police? No. They'll think I may have something to do with the murders. They'll think I asked the killer to kill them. What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? I repeated the question over and over.
I decide to just go for a walk around campus to try and clear my head. I just need to think things through.
~Time skip to tonight~
I sat on the couch in my (f/c) pajamas. Since I didn't have class tomorrow I chose to stay up late and watch horror movies. Some weren't that scary, some were really scary, and others were so not scary that they were funny, others were pretty painful to watch.
I suddenly hear a noise coming from outside and see a flash of light. Must be a thunderstorm. I thought. I get up and walk to the door and open it. Just as I thought, it was pouring. I didn't really mind though. To me, rain was kind of.....beautiful. I don't know, maybe its the sound or the smell or the way it looks, but I always liked the rain.
Jeff's POV
I was watching her from her front door, looking outside. I know she likes the rain. I try to get a closer look but I ended up tripping over something and landed on my face. "Oh my god, are ok?" I hear yelp. I lean up and felt her grab my shoulder. Next thing I knew I was inside. I turn around and come face to face with her. I jump back, getting ready for here to scream just like everyone else did.....but she didn't. She didn't even look scared. "Are you ok?" she asked again. "Y-yeah. I'm fine. Thank you." "Don't mention it. I'm (Name)." She extended her arm and offered me her hand, I grab it and we shook hands. Her skin was so soft. "What's your name?" she asked. "Jeff."

Three-for-three. That's what Justin Bieber is with his Music Mondays series.
Bieber could probably package five or six of his best entries from the campaign when it's all said and done, sell it as an EP and easily go platinum to coincide with the Christmas Day release of his sophomore film, Believe 3D. Whether he does remains to be seen, but the fact of the matter is his newest installment, "Hold Tight," falls in line with the quality of previous entries "Heartbreaker" and "All That Matters" that finds Justin taking the more ballad, emotional route to get his point across.
Bieber's in a zone where he's making quality slow jams in 2013. As for now, the streak lives on.

Join the iRead Book Club on Monday, April 7 at 6:00pm as we discuss Elizabeth Stroud's Olive Kitteridge.
At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large, but she doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive's own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.
As the townspeople grapple with their problems, mild and dire, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life–sometimes painfully, but always with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition–its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.*

World Governance, Christians, and the Bible. – are the current events of today covered in the bible?
November 20, 2012 in Offbeat
Many times i have heard callers on the 'Alex Jones Show' ask about bible prophecy, and about what the bible says about current world event. Usually Alex politely ends the calls and explains how he cannot go into biblical prophecy because he is primarily a news and current affairs type show. i agree with this, because he needs to get the information out to everyone and if he talks about religion he will turn half his audience off.
However, this doesn't provide his callers with any answers, and this has been what has motivated to write this post. someone who could provide answers to these questions is the late Barry Smith. Barry Smith was a world famous New Zealand preacher and teacher who passed away in 2002 preaching in England. He also spent many years in the Pacific Islands preaching the gospel with his Pacific Island wife.
Barry smith did all his research about the world government and Illuminati before the age of the internet and what he talks about is much of the same stuff we now know today. he then uses the bible to explain what is happening and what we can expect to happen. some of his messages are over 20 years old and the accuracy of what he said would happen is pretty much spot on. of course somethings are different than what he predicted, but a lot of it is spot on.
here are the links to some of his sermons from the 1990′s and early 2000′s that people have posted on YouTube. there are others on YouTube that are not listed here.

let me start by saying I following teh canucks from London (not ontario). Games are at 4 in the morning and there are no radio or tv highlights.
Our team sounds terrible this year. Our forwards have sucked harder than a starving newborn, while flarhety has hartly distinguished himslef as a valid sh!t (No. 2).
A bunch of nobodies on 1 way contracts, with no offensive flair, no toughness, no chance of a cup.
Seriously, how do we win a cup with this team?
We can't --> implication: we have the wrong team!!!
Nonis has either buggered up, got stuck with lousy contracts, or both. I vote door #3
Should our boys make the finals I will spend the dough to fly to vancouver and watch us win gloriously in the finals. I'll even fund a night out with cc regulars.
Sadly, I bet my money is safe.

Rose
Anyone with woody/ or greeen starts to share (BRUGS)
Hi Rose,
I've only got one at the moment, but can cut you a piece and send it your way if you like. It's taking over the corner of my living room (this pic is from a few months ago) and I don't think it would miss a bit here or there.
I grew it from a seed provided by Kell, it was a double pink x peach cross of some sort, but unfortunately lost the specific parent names when the tag was "cleaned" out of the pot. It hasn't bloomed yet, sadly it set a huge flush of buds last winter, but as we heat with wood here and nights get pretty cold inside it dropped them. So.... The color and type of bloom are a mystery :) Hopefully one soon solved though.
Thankyou so much for responding, I've posted twice and no responses. Id love a start, maybe a wet paper towel in a ziplock for the root area and thick news paper so it doesent get too cold in the shippinf trucks. I have a few seeds her and there (ameranthus americaus)beautiful marroon stems and huge maroonplumes like a small bush...seeds just toss them where you want them and they will grow. I love them. besides shipping would you llike any extra money for the cuttings? Thankyou so much Rose

Metropolitan Chicago is one of the world's great economic centers, but we cannot afford to take our quality of life for granted. GO TO 2040 is the comprehensive regional plan to help the seven counties and 284 communities plan together for sustainable prosperity through mid-century and beyond.
Web Content Display
In October 2014, the GO TO 2040 comprehensive regional plan was updated in accordance with federal law. It addresses the requirements of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) that was signed into law in 2012. Due to GO TO 2040's long time horizon and positive impacts of plan implementation to date, the plan's themes and recommendations did not change as part of the update.
All GO TO 2040 materials, including the plan update summary and its appendices, a full-length plan that is for policy experts, and a shorter plan that is for a broader audience, are accessible as PDFs. GO TO 2040 calls on local officials, businesses, and other stakeholder groups to implement recommendations that -- while very specific -- have broad implications for residents' daily lives. To illustrate that point, CMAP has also created a series of portraits describing residents whose stories help to bring the plan to life.

L.A. Kings Win Stanley Cup; "Mavs Win!" Proclaims NBC Sports
The L.A. Kings are the best team in the NHL, but those poor souls just can't catch a break when it comes to people actually knowing who the hell they are. First there was the case of the mistaken logo, an abysmal highlight package, and then a misidentification of the team's mascot.

With over two million copies of her books in print, Lori Wick consistently tops the Christian best-selling fiction lists. Delighting fans with her versatility, she transports readers sometimes to Victorian England, sometimes to the American frontier, and always into the minds and hearts of her characters.
In the summer of 1882, Dakota Rawlings, Texas Ranger, is still recuperating from an ambush that nearly killed him. Not yet fit for duty, the bored ranger eagerly accepts the opportunity to escort his boss' beautiful daughter, Darvi, to the train station in Aurora. The trip won't be difficult, and he'll get to share his newly found faith with her. But Darvi is kidnapped from the train and held hostage, and Dakota must singlehandedly solve the mystery of her disappearance and stage a daring rescue. Surrounded by a world of shady quests for money and power, Darvi and Dakota inspire listeners with their burgeoning love and faith. Ed Sala's expert narration evokes a sense of nostalgia as he brings this fragment of the old Wild West to life.
©2000 Lori Wick (P)2001 Recorded Books, LLC
"Actually book 2 in series"
Dak and Darvi are fun. The spiritual growth they experience in dealing with eachother as they learn to live their lives in a more Christ-centered way in insightful and pure Wick. The characters surounding them also make the story's magic more real.
A fun inspiring read that will make you think about those around you and how you interact with them.
"Great story, really enjoyed"

The National Security Agency released its first transparency report on mass surveillance. While it revealed very specific statistics about the exact number of "targets" it has watched, a target can be one individual or an entire organization. Under it's most controversial legal program, Section 702 of the USA Freedom Act, the NSA admits to affecting 89,138 targets' communications [PDF].
But the word "target" is a sly trick, since a target can be an organization.
"One target, in the number 89,000, one could be 20 or 100 individual people," explains Electronic Frontier Foundation staff attorney Mark Rumold. According to the NSA's explanation, if there are multiple email addresses for one person, and the NSA isn't aware of each account, it could be double-counting this targeting.
But the more likely scenario is that most targets represents multiple people.
"There's no way that the 89,000 figure is the floor … the ceiling is likely much, much higher," he says.
More interesting is that while many other NSA requests need one or more court approvals, the entire Section 702 program was approved with just one order. "Section 702 completely removes the judiciary," warned Rumold.
The American Civil Liberties Union was also concerned that the numbers don't reflect how many American targets have been spied on. The NSA is legally required to target foreigners, but it inevitably sweeps up U.S. citizens' communications. "The statistics also mask the vast number of Americans swept up in the government's bulk collection programs, such as the NSA's daily collection of Americans' calling records en masse," the ACLU's attorney Brett Max Kaufman, told me.
Despite the obscurity, Google's Director of Law Enforcement and Information Security, praised the report. "This is a step in the right direction of increasing trust in both government and Internet services, and it demonstrates again that governments can embrace transparency while protecting national security," he wrote in a blog post.
As of this year, tech companies have been permitted to disclose some details on the number of users targeted by requests. Google, for instance, has said that between 0-16,000 users have gotten requests for information. Rumold says those probably accurately reflect the number of individual users (not groups). But since many citizens use multiple services, it's difficult to know the full extent of NSA spying across all tech platforms.
So, today's report should probably put "transparency" in quote.
