Love Hurts/Sand Point/Tues July 3/12:28 am: Officer Stolt reports: "When I arrived, victim was located in the parking garage. She appeared upset and stated that her boyfriend of two months had threatened to kill her. She had been seeing someone else after they broke up about a week ago, and the ex had witnessed them together earlier that day. He stopped by her place tonight and they began arguing. He threatened to kill her, the new boyfriend, and himself. When she tried to leave her apartment, the ex prevented her from leaving. After a brief struggle, the ex let her leave.
"The victim showed us where she lived and then led us to suspect's apartment. The suspect's mother was in his apartment at the time. We contacted the mother and she was hesitant to tell us where her son was located but she let us into his apartment. Inside, we found suspect hiding in a bedroom closet. He came out of the closet and denied threatening anyone except himself. He said he was in love and didn't want to let her go.
"We released the suspect and gave him a warning. The victim, however, was still worried. She believed the suspect would try to kill her, her new boyfriend, and himself. She was given DV pamphlet."
Note one: What this report reveals is the hard root of love: power. The threat made by the ex, which must be taken seriously by the police, is an effort to regain the power of love at any cost. The suspect is willing to maintain the relationship even if she has no feelings for him. In the suspect's love-mad mind, no difference exists between a woman who is his girlfriend because she fears him and a woman who is his girlfriend because she loves him. This lack of a difference is a consequence of the fact that love, like fear, is about power. To let go of the one he loves is to let go of his power over her. And this loss of power is the source of his pain.
Note two: The shock of seeing your ex with a new lover is always sharp. You see not yourself but someone else in the happy place of her arms, her eyes, her thoughts, her body. For the suspect in this report, the sight of his replacement was even more painful because the breakup was still so fresh. Last week, she held his hand as they walked through a park; this week, she holds the hand of another man. But threatening your ex with extinction because you want her hand back in your hand is simply wrong. The right thing to do in this situation is what Don Williams does in his song "Down the Road I Go": "Well, I've never seen that guy before today/He held my baby in close this way/And the way she snuggled close to him I know/It's hello blues and down the road I go." Always greet your heartache with the words "hello blues."

London, May 6 (ANI): Forty-six-year-old Connie Culp, a shotgun attack victim who was the first person in the U.S. to receive a near-total face transplant, has unveiled the results of her surgery.
The woman was left without a nose, a palate or lower eyelids after being attacked by her husband in 2004.
Her operation at the Cleveland Clinic in the state of Ohio lasted 22 hours.
A team of 11 surgeons, who operated on her, transplanted about 80 per cent of her face using facial tissue from a dead woman that was placed like a mask atop her own.
They said that Culp, who was missing bone support and had been unable to eat or breathe without a tube in her windpipe, could now perform functions normally.
"We think this ... procedure has changed her life dramatically," Sky News quoted Maria Siemionow, the clinic's director of plastic surgery research, as telling reporters.
Even though it was reported in December that America's first face transplant had been conducted, Culp's identity and the incident that had disfigured were kept secret.
"Well, I guess I'm the one you came to see today," she said after being helped up to a podium at a press conference.
She, however, added: "I think it's more important that you focus on the donor family that made it so I could have this person's face."
Culp recalled that when plastic surgeon Risal Djohan first looked at Ms Culp's injuries, "he told me he didn't think, he wasn't sure, if he could fix me, but he'd try."
"Here I am, five years later. He did what he said - I got me my nose," she said with a laugh.
Siemionow said that the transplant "was the most complex functional restoration in the world today". (ANI)

David Gray shares his experience with a mystical priest who was channeling a Padre Pio spirit.
In April 2002, my aunt invited me to meet with a mystical Catholic priest from India with whom she had been consulting for help with relationships and other problems. She told me that she believed this priest had some supernatural power to foresee the future and to identify problem areas in people's lives. I decided to go because I was rather depressed at the time and my faith in Christ was not yet very strong. Besides, I was enticed by the thought that this person might be able to foresee the future. I thought maybe he might have some special gift of the Holy Spirit.
When I arrived, my aunt led me to the upstairs room where the priest did his consultations. There was a raised bed in the center of the room and a tiny altar off to the side in a corner. The priest put on some relaxing spiritual music, put his hands on my head, and began to pray over me in some unknown language. He then received a vision from Padre Pio, an Italian priest who lived in the early 1900's and was recently canonized as a Roman Catholic saint.
In the vision, Padre Pio told the priest that he wanted to use me as an instrument. He wanted me to go buy a book about him so that he could ""teach me his ways."" He said that I would eventually develop this miraculous power to heal people just by looking at them or touching them. He was going to use me as an instrument to bring many people to God. The priest said that I might start to have visions or hear things.
When the vision was over, the priest told me that he has worked with thousands of people, and I was the first one whom ""Padre Pio"" had wanted to use as an instrument. I imagine that since this priest is from India, he probably encounters very few true Christians. The priest gave me a medallion of Padre Pio and told me to rub it on my forehead in the morning and at night.
I left the house with mixed feelings. I was excited about the possiblity that all of it might be true, but I was mostly skeptical. When I got in my car, I prayed to God and asked Him to show me if the prediction was from Him or not. I then drove home. When I went into the house, I quickly realized that I no longer had the medallion. I later found out that my aunt had it. I probably gave it to her at some point before I left, but I think the Holy Spirit made sure that I did not take it home with me (according to some Christians, demons can cling to occult objects).
Over the next couple days I thought about the prediction and the significance of losing the medallion. Although the fact that I no longer had the medallion seemed like a pretty good hint, I hated to abandon my ""gift."" I picked up my Bible and asked God to show me a verse that would help me to figure it out. I know this is not a generally reliable way of determining God's will, but I stuck my finger into a random place in the Bible and opened it. My finger was pointing precisely at the part of 2 Chronicles 23:13 where it says ""Treason! Treason!""
""Treason against who?"" I thought. I really wanted that gift, so I did not immediately accept the obvious fact that I was committing treason of the worst kind against Christ. I guess I thought that maybe I would be committing treason against Padre Pio. Man! I must have been really depressed that week! I did some research on the internet, and I found several verses in the Bible that condemn the practice of fortune-telling and communicating with spirits (e.g. Deut 18:10). I was really bummed, though, to think that my miraculous gift was never going to appear.
Sunday came around and I was still thinking about the whole thing before I went to Central Baptist for the service. I still kept asking God for clarification as if he had not already given me enough. That Sunday Pastor Gay started his sermon with ""There are those of us who would like to know the future…who go to fortune-tellers and psychics…"" I think he went on to say that our future is secure with Christ, but I was too busy trying to catch my breath!
Well, I finally got the hint and did not go back to see the priest. I have spent the past several months researching New Age beliefs, and I am very thankful that God was so kind to protect me from this very real form of evil. Feel free to share the story. God bless you!
In Christ,
David Gray

The ones that come out the hiney. I had a couple of the boys have itchy butts and I could have sworn I felt something moving around back there.
Haven't actually seen any worms though. I thought I did, but now I'm thinking maybe not since after taking the meds, nothing is showing up in the potty. Maybe it's too soon; it's been 40 hours I think. Terre, do you remember any of those details; how long it took for dead worms to show up after taking the meds etc?
Yeah, we've been doing loads of laundry too. And with so many people it's just really overwhelming.
I have a serious phobia of worms or anything slimy/creepy/crawly/wiggly. Worms, caterpillars, slugs, snails etc. I seriously CANNOT handle being around them. When we go fishing I flip out if the worms gets anywhere near me. So this is really wigging me out.

Do you know about the Cuban Five? They are not a mambo band (although maybe a quintet should pick up the name). They are a group of Cuban spies, imprisoned in the United States. And they are a big, big cause on the left. I mention them in my "Oslo Journal" today – because some leafleters were leafleting for them. The Cuban Five are much leafleted.
They were convicted of espionage and conspiracy to commit murder. And, needless to say, they were afforded all of the rights, privileges, and advantages of our system: including multiple appeals. One of the five was convicted for his role in the Castro government's shootdown of two Brothers to the Rescue planes in 1996. Those planes were in international airspace. The attack killed three U.S. citizens and one permanent resident.
But whatever, you know? No need to get all right-wing about it.
Recently, Jimmy Carter called for the release of the Cuban Five. He was on Cuban soil. That's our 39th president. Luckily, he did not call for the five to join the Gaza flotilla.
Anyway, I received a letter from a reader, which I now share:
I live in Basel, Switzerland . . . I was walking around on May 1st at the Basel jazzfest and saw a booth that was advocating the release of these "Cuban Five." I thought it was strange that a group was trying to get only five political prisoners out of the Castros' jails. When I went up to the booth to ask why so few, they quickly informed me that they were protesting the "illegal" holding of five Cuban nationals by the U.S. government.
Because I was somewhat fearful for my safety, I did not ask them about the Cuban political prisoners being held by the Cuban dictatorship. I'm disappointed in myself for not speaking up, but I have learned that the Left, especially in Europe, does not take kindly to dissent.
It really amazes me how some people's hatred of the U.S. can twist their logic. . . .
Yeah, kind of amazing. Allow me to quote from my journal today: "Wouldn't it be nice if 'progressives,' for once in their lives, leafleted about Cuban prisoners of conscience — the political prisoners of the Castro brothers and their dictatorship? First, pigs will fly, to the moon."
No, I was not channeling Ralph Kramden, consciously.

You and Your Men Are Under God's Protection
|Written by Patrick Morley
|Sunday, May 14 2006 19:00
Are you a pet person? There are a lot of pet people in the world. My parents were pet people. I was a prisoner of pet people because we had all kinds of pets. We had dogs, cats, horses, and cows. When I became a man, I had to decide if I would be a pet person, or not, and my wife decided that I would be one.
There are big dog people, and there are little dog people. Of course, there are dog people and cat people (and there are tarantula people, too), but mostly you have big dog people and little dog people. How about you?
I was always a big dog person. We had a beautiful, yellow lab, Katie. Then we bought a little poofy, frou-frou lap dog for middle-aged women. It's a Bichon Frise - if you know what that is. She's a little white, fluff ball named Annie. This dog has had more maladies. Not long ago this cute little dog, which is like a pogo stick that jumps everywhere, pulled a ligament in one of its legs. So, then we had to have surgery, and the surgery cost about four times as much as the dog cost. I was doing the math, and I kept saying to my wife, Patsy, "You know, there are a lot of things they don't tell you at the pet store."
l must tell you I have really fallen in love with this little dog. I was trying to think what is it about this little dog that I just love so much. To be honest with you, the dog is completely selfish. She licks you and smiles innocently only because it wants to play and get attention. Her mission is completely about getting involved in play and having a party.
Yet, there is just something about this little dog. This dog can do nothing for me - except give me some pleasure. But my pleasure is really not my pleasure. My pleasure is the pleasure I take in seeing the dog have pleasure - if that makes sense! So, I am thinking what is it about this dog I love so much? I can't tell you, but I can tell you this: that dog is under my protection. This dog had the surgery, and I will take care of whatever other problems come this little dog's way because I unconditionally love this little bundle of energy.
That's a good metaphor for us to keep in mind as we try to understand how God sees us and thinks about us. God has brought us under His protection because God feels about us in a way very similar to how we might feel about a beloved pet. It's analogous thinking, so you can't push it too far. But God has this unconditional love for us that forms the backdrop for every detail of our relationship with Him. Just keep that in the back of your mind today: that you are under God's protection.
To God be the glory for the great things He has done and continues to do!

"We don't have a problem with him taking vacations, but it seems petty to close the White House to tours, when forgoing one or two out-of-town vacations would easily pay for the cost of keeping it open," Rep. Chris StewartChris StewartHouse Republicans growing impatient with Russia probe GOP rep would 'recommend' not paying much attention to Trump tweets California Democrat seeks to win fight on war powers MORE (R-Utah) said Wednesday. "It's unfortunate that instead of choosing to eliminate wasteful or duplicative government spending as a result of the President's sequester, he has chosen to close the White House to the public.
"The President is again showing his dedication to politics and not to pursuing sound public policy."
Stewart's resolution, H.Res. 111, finds that the cost of keeping the White House tours open is $3.7 million per year. It also finds that Obama has taken four vacations in Hawaii during the last four years that cost a total of $16 million.
It then strongly suggests that Obama should stop taking these trips, and instead use the savings to reopen the White House tours.
"Resolved, that the President should refrain from any further vacations at the taxpayers' expense until such sums have been saved that the people's White House can be re-opened for public tours," the resolution reads.
Last week, Rep. Louie GohmertLouis (Louie) Buller GohmertColbert spoofs Louie Gohmert's Uranium One chart Social media reacts to Gohmert chart on Obama-era Uranium One deal GOP lawmaker calls for Mueller to be fired in speech on House floor MORE (R-Texas) proposed an amendment to the 2013 continuing resolution that would prohibit taxpayer money from being used to transport Obama to or from a golf course until the White House tours resume. But the GOP-led Rules Committee did not make that amendment in order.

text: Hi all, I was given an old Suburban CoalMaster Coal/Wood burning stove (posted about it in the classic stove forum). I had the flue cleaned and now I'm ready to install. Seems pretty straightforward but I want to make sure I get everything right. I'm installing the stove in my basement. Previous owners had a wood stove down there but I haven't ever used one. I just bought the black 24 ga stove pipe, 2-24" straight pieces and two-90 degree elbows. I also bought some of that black furnace cement. I'm going to enlist the help of a couple of neighbors who have wood stoves if I can but I might have to go this alone so any tips would be appreciated. So I'm going to... Insert the crimped end of the 90 degree elbow into the stove, use four sheet metal screws to keep it in place (do I need to use the cement here as well?) Measure and cut one of my straight lengths of pipe to length (what is the best way to cut, I don't have any shears so I'm going to have to get some at the hardware store) Put the crimped end of a straight pipe into the non-crimped end of that elbow (now wait...I thought I've read that the non crimped end of the pipes should face down to avoid condensation running along the inside of the pipes) Put the crimped end of the other straight pipe (the one I cut to length?) into the non crimped end of the straight pipe. Connect the other elbow What did I miss? Should I use the furnace cement on all seams? Should I use sheet metal screws on all seams? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Souvenirs for Mandolin and Guitar is the newest release from UK-based mandolinist Alison Stephens and long-time musical partner Craig Ogden on guitar.
An eclectic recording with nearly 80 minutes of music from all over the world, Souvenirs was inspired in part by Stephens' recent battle with cancer, now in remission.
All proceeds from the sale of the recording will benefit the MacMillan Cancer Support.
Works on the disc include compositions from Ortiz, Pino, del Cauca, Hadjikakis, Boudounis, Zambrano, Nawata, Stephens, Zerega, Leonardi, Muñoz, Angulo, Diaz, Theodorakis, Kioulaphides, Tadic & Kaufmann.
About the artist:
Alison Stephens is arguably the leading exponent of the classical mandolin in the UK. She was the first graduate of mandolin from Trinity College of Music, London, and was appointed as a teacher upon graduation, a post she still holds. Alison has played across the UK and has toured extensively across the Far and Middle East; Australia, South Africa, across Europe and in USA.
She has also frequently broadcast and recorded live for radio including BBC Radios 3 and 4, Classic FM, ABC (Australia), SABC (South Africa), BBC Radio Scotland and has presented her own BBC Radio 4 feature which was subsequently nominated for a Sony Award.

PIGEON FORGE (WATE/AP) – Guests at Dollywood have been evacuated amid a series of raging wildfires.
Pete Owens with Dollywood said 19 cabins that were occupied within Dollywood Smoky Mountain Cabins were evacuated early Monday evening. He said they just evacuated Dollywood DreamMore Resort.
Owens said fire crews are in the park and are taking preventative measures to ensure all structures are intact at Dollywood. No structures are on fire and no persons have been injured.
Emergency officials in Tennessee say a wildfire has set 30 structures ablaze in Gatlinburg, including a 16-story hotel, and is at the edge of the Dollywood theme park.
Tennessee Emergency Management Agency spokesman Dean Flener says in a news release Monday night that mandatory evacuations were underway for areas in and around Gatlinburg, including the south part of Pigeon Forge, where Dolly Parton's theme park is.

Sky has revealed it is partnering mobile music specialist Omnifone in a bid to launch an online music store.
It's understood that the service would offer a mix of streaming music to computer and TV for a flat monthly fee, with the ability to buy and save favourite songs free of digital rights management (DRM) restrictions. Songs bought from Sky would play on any MP3 player including Apple's iPod and iPhone.
It's also believed that Sky will bundle the new music service with existing subscription packages for satellite TV, broadband and telephone deals.
Sky announced its intention to enter the digital music market last July as it clinched a deal with Universal Music, whose big name artists include U2, Amy Winehouse and Duffy.
It is also hoped that by offering streaming music for a 'small fee' Sky may help combat the illegal downloading of music from file-sharing sites.

Music industry body the IFPI recently suggested that 95 percent of all music downloads were illicit, some 40 billion tracks downloaded illegally worldwide each year.
"Tens of millions of European consumers are engaged in music piracy every day. Whilst government pressure is growing, we also need to deliver alternatives that recognise the needs and desires of the YouTube generation," said Rob Lewis, CEO of Omnifone, an independent unlimited music service provider, and Sky's partner in the service.
Streaming music is nothing new; last week the Swedish music service Spotify opened its music database to UK listeners, with a range of subscription packages available, including an ad-supported free version.
Sky customers can already take advantage of Music Choice, 40 themed satellite radio stations that play music free of presenters or ads. Total Hits, Classical Greats, Freedom, Hip Hop, Revival, Schlager, Cool Jazz and the Greatest Rock Anthems Ever are among the channels Music Choice offer.
Sky previously launched the Sky Gnome, a wireless device connected to your Sky receiver designed to allow you to listen to music around the house. Although popular with some subscribers, the Sky Gnome was dumped by Sky in 2007.
Sky expects to launch the new music service in the spring.

Port of Spain, Aug 23 (IANS) Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) vice-president Patrick Rampersad has upbraided West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Dave Cameron for failing to hold a Town Hall meeting on the island.
The WICB Town Hall meetings are held to discuss topics ranging from team selection and player relations to pitch preparation and governance issues.
Rampersad has also taken up the issue with Cameron for refusing to hold the meeting while in Trinidad and Tobago for the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) final.
Cameron's letter to TTCB reportedly listed "a critical change in my schedule" and "pressing obligations" as the reasons for not being able to facilitate the meeting.
Rampersad has also criticised the WICB for issuing a statement which erroneously stated that Trinidad and Tobago was among the countries which hosted Town Hall meetings.
"In any event, the Town Hall meeting was not held in T&T and to suggest otherwise is misleading at best, and cynical at worst. It was disrespectful and dismissive of the local cricket community. Is it that the views of the local board and the fans and stake-holders are not important," asked Rampersad.
Meanwhile, the WICB issued a statement on Saturday saying efforts to host a meeting in the T&T could not be finalised from as far back as June when the president's office made contact.
The statement referenced a letter from TTCB general secretary Arjoon Ramlal, to WICB dated June 22, stating that affiliates could not agree on a venue for the meeting.
The WICB has said that it remains committed to hosting the meeting in Trinidad.
Trinidad and Tobago and Leeward Islands are remaining venues to host WICB Town Hall meetings hosted by Cameron and vice-president Emmanuel Nanthan. Barbados, Dominica, St. Lucia, Guyana and Jamaica have already hosted such meetings in the past.

The AoP Board of Trustees, in their January meeting, launched the Inspire '17 Campaign, setting a goal of raising $90,000 over the next five months.
"We have been so inspired by the preaching and growth of the Young Preachers since the inception of the Academy," explained board chair Ernest Brooks, AoP '11. "We are eager to work with donors willing to invest in the future and enable us to inspire even more Young Preachers in the call to Gospel preaching."
"We will fundraise from all possible sources," explained Dwight A. Moody, AoP President, who will be leading the campaign. "Our trustees have already led the way. We are also reaching out to all our network of Young Preachers, mentors, friends, and donors."
In addition, Tyler Best, Director of Communications & Membership, will work to recruit ten new iPartners. Debbie Moody, Director of Festivals, will offer the Lead Sponsors of the 2018 National Festival a discount in exchange for early payment. Dr. Moody will appeal to high capacity donors as well as four foundations.
"This will be a team effort," Moody said. "We will move forward on all fronts and seek to secure these fund by the end of our current fiscal year, June 30. Already, $13,690 has been given or pledged in the first week of the campaign!"
Plans are also underway to use AoP Day, June 23, to inspire and expand the support for the program and mission of the Academy of Preachers. Events are being planned for June 23 in nine cities: New York, St. Louis, Dallas, Atlanta, Nashville, Louisville, Lexington, Indianapolis, and Washington D.C.
Gifts for the Inspire '17 Campaign may be sent to the AoP office at 150 East High Street, Lexington, Kentucky, 40507. Online gifts may be made by logging onto academyofpreachers.net/give.

Americans Shunning Lawyers
January 22, 1999
Americans are increasingly representing themselves in courts. While the venue may be a small claims court or a federal tax court, mostly they are showing up without counsel in family courts.
- In California, 67 percent of all domestic-relations cases involve at least one party without a lawyer.
- In Maricopa County, Ariz., the percentage for domestic cases is 88 percent.
- In Florida, 60 percent of domestic cases begin with at least one party arguing on his or her own behalf.
- Experts put the nationwide figure at about 80 percent.
The middle class is especially prone to do its own pleading, say observers. Poor people have free legal aid available to them, and wealthy people can afford to hire lawyers.
Judges have observed that the trend may be due to the proliferation of courtroom shows on television. But people acting on their own behalf often fail to supply the right forms and file the correct documents -- as well as being ignorant of legal procedures. Judges complain that persons without counsel often waste their time and clog dockets.
To break the logjam, courts from California to New Jersey are trying to make it easier for the unskilled by providing instructions about legal procedures and do-it-yourself forms for everything from divorces to adoptions.

Stony Brook plan to expand cancer research
ALBANY -- Stony Brook University unveiled an ambitious plan Wednesday to build a sprawling cancer research facility, add 245 new faculty and 400 staff, and enroll an additional 1,500 students.
University and business leaders said the plan would help students, improve local medical care options, and boost the economy.
But it all depends on securing two big building blocks from state government: a $35-million grant to jump-start the project, and permission to hike tuition by 8 percent a year for five years.
Stony Brook's president, Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr., outlined the university's vision to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and legislative leaders.
While Cuomo called it an "innovative plan that has the potential to rejuvenate Long Island," a review panel still must determine whether the proposal qualifies for the grant under the governor's "SUNY 2020" initiative. Just two months ago, however, Cuomo and state legislators enacted a budget that cut funds to Stony Brook University Medical Center and other SUNY hospitals.
Afterward, Stanley called the initiative "critically important" to Stony Brook's future. The new Medical and Research Translation building would house 25 separate cancer-research labs, expand facilities for biomedical imaging, and triple the space for outpatient care at Stony Brook University Medical Center.
"This was designed to make a huge difference to undergraduate education as well as our research capabilities," Stanley said. "In that perspective, it is one of the biggest initiatives we have undertaken in a long time."
Construction of the building, which would cost an estimated $194 million, would begin in fall 2013 at the earliest. Along with tuition increases, Stony Brook would tap its School of Medicine funds and raise about $50 in philanthropic gifts to pay for it.
Stanley acknowledged that Stony Brook had lengthy discussions with the Cuomo administration while putting together the plan and that it was "well-received" by SUNY and political officials.
But Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan) warned that any approval of a tuition hike would have to be accompanied by a commitment, written into state statute, that lawmakers would not reduce basic operational aid to State University of New York campuses -- as has occurred in previous years.
"We're not going to balance the state budget on the backs of students," Silver said, "and that's what's been happening. The only way there's going to be a deal is with a commitment [in] writing that that's not going to happen."
Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) voiced similar concerns about state aid.
"There has to be a maintenance of effort on the state's part," Skelos said.
The State Legislature and the governor would have to approve any tuition hike; this year's legislative session is slated to end June 20.Current tuition for fulltime undergraduates is $4,970 per year, which is lower than other public colleges in the Northeast. Some lawmakers have ramped up their efforts to approve a bill that would raise SUNY tuition by five percent per year for the next five years. Supporters call it a "rational tuition" policy because SUNY's tuition history has been marked by years of freezes followed by huge increases - including a 43 percent hike for the 1991-92 academic year.
Legislators voiced concerns that some students might not be able to afford even a modest tuition bump.

With a name like Ralphie, you'd think the University of Colorado's mascot is a boy. But Ralphie the buffalo is a girl.
On Sept. 23, 2006, when Ralphie romped through the gap between Sanford Stadium's hedges, Uga, the University of Georgia's bulldog mascot, didn't know what to think. Apparently, Georgia's football team didn't, either. The Bulldogs pulled out a 14-13 victory in the last 46 seconds.
But there's another victory that didn't flash on the Jumbotron.
It started with a three-minute conversation during the game, a chat that evolved into a history-making win for our family.
Ralphie was chewing her cud on the sideline while the two-legged Buffaloes were scaring the Bulldogs. Trying to take my mind off the game, I walked away from the window in the president's box and struck up a conversation with UGA President Michael Adams' senior event planner.
Heather Hammond is an auburn-haired beauty from Fitzgerald with a songbird voice and a sunny smile. We had known each other for several years.
"Heather," I said, "if there's no one special in your life, I know someone whom you might like to meet."
Wrinkling her nose, she asked, "Who?"
"Well, he's a young businessman in South Georgia," I said. "He's never been married, and he's just about given up on finding a young lady to take out to dinner and to a movie."
Animated expression is one signature of Heather's personality. Arching her eyebrows, she said, "Oh my, that sounds like my luck!"
"But there are so many eligible bachelors in a university town," I said.
"Yes, but they're college boys," she said. "I'm way past that. Who is he?"
"He's our oldest son, Alan," I answered. "Like you, he's a graduate of the University of Georgia. He's publisher of the Tribune & Georgian in St. Marys."
Opening her purse, Heather pulled out a business card. "My e-mail address is right here, if Alan would like to contact me," she said. We chit-chatted a few more minutes and then peeked out the window to see what Ralphie and the other Buffaloes were doing.
I mailed Heather's card to Alan. Eventually, he sent an e-mail of introduction. They exchanged e-mails for a couple of months, before Alan drove north for six hours.
By summer, Alan and Heather were standing barefoot on the beach of a barrier island exchanging vows before a tiny congregation of family and friends. The next year, three days before Thanksgiving, the combined families were huddled in the Brunswick hospital giving thanks for the birth of William Alan Jr.
For his second birthday, William will get a special gift that won't be in bright paper. Instead, it'll be wrapped in a swaddling blanket, just like William was on Nov. 24, 2008.
Alan was the first to call. Next, Heather e-mailed a photo of William wearing a T-shirt emblazoned: "Guess who's going to be a big brother? William, that's who."
So far, we've been blessed with four grandsons. When former UGA head football coach and athletic director Vince Dooley saw a photo of William, Henry, Wyatt and Hayes, he said, "Looks like a good starting lineup."
Maybe now there's a cheerleader in our future.
You can't understand everything William says, but still, I asked him what he would call November's surprise if it happened to be a sister. Like his mother, he's animated. Cocking his head and wrinkling his nose, I could see my devilish DNA kick in. And I'm sure William was trying to say, "Grandpa, let's call her Ralphie."

Bakelite Bush Radio
Oh I am rather fond of my latest find a Bush VHF61 Mid-1950s medium, long and VHF/FM receiver with magic eye tuning indicator, piano-key and manual selection and concentric controls. All Bakelite, with gold sprayed highlighting on surrounds.
Bedroom Fire Surround
I havent finished the fireplace. I am going to frame the inside with some MDF and make it look like wrought iron and chip off the plaster to reveal the brick work on the wall.
you can find the tutorial of the picture frame here...
and a turorial of the firescreen here....
The fire surround was from Ebay. I mixed up some white emultion with a tint of black to give me this nice grey colour...I painted the fireplace with a coat of white first, then a coat of black and then I painted the top coat with my mix and then sanded back lightly.

Nicky Snow Coasters
Picked up these lovely tins of Nicky Snow Coasters yesterday while out thrifting...
Got both tins for under a few pounds and they are brand new ... They would have cost me £7.00 each if I had bought them online.
I didnt want to use them as coasters so I built myself a Coat Rail with some left over cladding and some Coat Hooks from Ebay. I glued the coasters onto some mustardy yellow tiles I had left over from the hearth and stuck them above the Coat Hooks..
Not bad if I dont say so myself.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Bernalillo County District Attorney says she will deliver an important set of documents to the feds, according to the Albuquerque Journal. They're claims from the Albuquerque Police Department's former record custodian, alleging cover-ups in the department.
The accusations come from former Records Custodian Reynaldo Chavez. He filed a whistle blower lawsuit against the city indicating the mayor and APD brass were behind everything.
Chavez claims the department deleted or altered videos in high profile cases. It's documented in an affidavit filed in the Mary Hawkes shooting and in another case.
Read the affidavit >>
Officer Jeremy Dear fatally shot Hawkes in 2014 after police say she stole a truck. Chavez also alleges APD higher ups instructed officers not to mention they had video in their police reports. That is, until they could figure out whether the video might get the department in trouble.
APD fired Chavez.
The city says it questions Chavez's motives and plans to fight his criminal claims in a statement.

In the weeks leading up to Christmas Bird Count season we experienced what appears to be the 'new normal'. After some average late fall weather in October and early November our area was hit with an impressive cold snap in the middle of that month – at this time of year lows in the single digits are not quite something we are accustomed to (yet), not even in our hardy neck of the woods. Then milder fall-like weather returned and all ice on ponds and lakes thawed out to reveal an abundance of open water.
Obviously, such a meteorological see-saw must have an impact on our bird life, and I for one was curious to see just what that might end up being by the time our count day rolled around. Would all of the semi-hardy birds have been pushed further south, would any northern invasive species have made it down to Ann Arbor by the time we had our count, would we continue to have any open water?
As count day approached it became clear that the mild weather was here to stay; temperatures would be hovering around freezing and no significant precipitation was in the forecast. For our observers this would mean almost pleasant counting circumstances, a welcome change from the frosty and snowbound 2013 count. When it became clear that winds were going to be light as well (good for owling), we looked all set for a promising CBC.
The pre-dawn coverage by our owling crews amounted to a little more than 25 hours in the field, which resulted not only in good numbers of Eastern Screech-Owls and Great Horned Owls (both of them present in numbers well above the recent 10-year average), but also, finally, in the location of a pair of Barred Owls – the first of the species since 1987! I can only imagine that as the woods in our count circle continue to mature, this species will be found more regularly, much like was the case with Pileated Woodpecker which was first found in 2008.
Most of the other volunteers (68 field observers and 3 feeder watchers, in all) were unaware of this auspicious start to our count, but as is the case just about every year, pretty much every observer group in our circle encountered some notable species. At the end of the day, we tallied a total of 73 species (marginally above the recent 10-year average of 72.1 species), as well as 1 hybrid, 3 sp.'s, and 3 distinct domesticated varieties. No additional species were found during count week. Last year, the exact location of the Ann Arbor crow roost was a mystery, which caused not only a relatively low crow count but a correspondingly low overall count as well. Luckily, this year was a different story and we ended up with a grand total of just over 36,000 birds, roughly 3,000 over the 10-year average.
The mild spell during December turned out to be a rather mixed blessing – essentially all bodies of water were open, meaning that waterfowl and other water-dependent birds had many options for feeding and roosting (both inside and outside the count circle). This meant they were not concentrated in a handful of unfrozen spots on the Huron River or otherwise icy lakes, as is more often the case during our CBC. As a result, we found a significant array of water bird species, but with unexpectedly low numbers for some. In the dabbling duck category, the most notable finds were three Northern Pintails and lone Northern Shovelers and Green-winged Teals; oddly, we missed expected birds like Wood Duck, Gadwall, and American Wigeon, although a dozen and a half American Black Ducks were a decent tally for recent years. We located a half dozen species of diving ducks, with a Lesser Scaup the main highlight. As a good illustration of the mixed bag phenomenon I mentioned, the two 'goldeneye' species were found in below average numbers, whereas the two merganser species were present in significantly above average numbers. One Pied-billed Grebe (average) and only two American Coots (well below the 10-year average) rounded out the waterfowl category. Similarly, an average eight Great Blue Herons were found in scattered locations, but only 3 Belted Kingfishers turned up, which is only 50% of the average!
In the raptor category, all the usuals were found, with Cooper's Hawk tying the all-time high of 23 for the second year in a row. Other notable finds were five Turkey Vultures, an immature Bald Eagle, and a Peregrine Falcon at the UM hospital. This species has been found annually since 2005, which for now is also still true of its open country congener, the American Kestrel. Only two were found on count day, in spite of the complete lack of snow cover.
In line with the continuing struggles of field birds in our circle, a measly two Ring-necked Pheasants were found, although that was still an improvement over last year's loner. On the flip side, the Wild Turkey continued its upward trend, with triple-digit numbers tallied for the second year in a row; five areas reported this conservation success story in 2014.
Woodpeckers continue to put on a strong showing – both Red-bellied and Downy Woodpeckers were present in numbers some 30% above the 10-year average. As a result, the overall tally of 464 woodpeckers was also about 1/3 over that average. Furthermore, for the fourth year in a row, Pileated Woodpeckers were located, so it appears that this recent addition to our count's list (the first record was in 2008!) may have become a regular fixture for the Ann Arbor CBC – continuing woodlot maturation will continue to aid this species in its spread out of its western Washtenaw stronghold.
Lack of snow cover and mild temperatures could be expected to be beneficial to passerines as well, but, as was the case with waterfowl, it turned out to be a mixed blessing. Many observers commented on the scatter-shot nature of the day's birding: small pockets of lots of activity, followed by large areas devoid of birds. Some resident species such as Black-capped Chickadee and White-breasted Nuthatch were found in record numbers, but frugivores such as American Robin, Hermit Thrush, and Cedar Waxwing were, for all intents and purposes, all but absent. The two thrushes were found in numbers more than 60% below the recent average and Cedar Waxwings posted their lowest numbers since 1958, no doubt due to the limited fruit crop in the area.
Away from the traditional spots in the Observatory area, the crow roost was located on the south side of town, along Eisenhower Blvd, specifically near the South Industrial intersection. With the 'regular' crow counter (Mike Kielb) out of town for the holidays, Dea Armstrong and I cooperated closely to tally the roost. Starting around 4:00 p.m., Dea observed the crows flying in from the west over Briarwood Mall and was able to direct me to the roosting site off Eisenhower. Counting the crows that were already at the roost turned out to be nearly impossible and only an estimate of the constantly moving birds was an option. However, Dea had a good handle on the birds coming in from the west and I was able to get on the stream coming up from the south. After darkness set in we conferred and agreed that between us we had (conservatively) counted a total of some 17,000 crows, almost half of the total birds found on our CBC!
More or less expected, we turned up a good variety of sparrows, with 8 species tallied by count day's end. Impressively, three of the four unusual species among them (Eastern Towhee, White-crowned Sparrow, and Lapland Longspur) were all found by a single observer, Chris McCreedy in area G – kudos to Chris! In spite of, or, more likely, because of the lack of snow cover, individual numbers of all four of our 'bread and butter' sparrows (American Tree, Song, White-throated, and Junco) were down considerably as compared to the 10-year average. More than likely, most of these birds were still to the north or more widely scattered in surrounding areas. The latter scenario probably also applies to Horned Lark, which was missed for the first time since 1996!
Because they are found uncommonly on our count, reports of any blackbird species are notable. A Rusty Blackbird observed by Maggie Jewett was the first for our count since 1988 and one of very few winter records for Washtenaw County generally speaking. After last year's cowbird bonanza (180 of them), Chris McCreedy turned up an even larger flock in the same location this year – after going over his photos, he estimates that there were at least 300 birds present!
In contrast to the depressed sparrow numbers, finches were present in good variety and numbers. Twelve Common Redpolls and two Purple Finches were the clear highlights, but the other three species were found in numbers well above average, as were House Sparrows.
In retrospect, the 2014 Ann Arbor CBC was essentially an "average" count, much like the 2013 edition was, but for entirely different reasons. As I wrote last year, "that is not to imply that the 2013 edition was a bad count – I think it is safe to say that, yes, average means just that, average, but that average can still have some goodies on offer." That statement very much holds true for us in 2014: there were a few high counts (four in all), several low/lowish counts (field birds and a handful of passerines), unusual species (Barred Owl, Pileated Woodpecker, Rusty Blackbird, to name a few), and some interesting overall/long term trends (think woodpeckers). From the pre-dawn Great Horned Owl hooting contest until the sky filled with crows at dusk, I know I had a great day out in the field, and I can only imagine that most of you share that sentiment.
If the spreadsheet with our results whets your appetite for more, take a look at National Audubon's summary of last season's results. The amount of information available through NAS's website is simply staggering, and allows you to manipulate and review data with a few clicks – amazing stuff!
Last and most definitely not least, I have to express my heart-felt gratitude to all of you, volunteers; you helped make this year's count a smoothly-run event once again – without you, counters, area leaders, and potluck/feeder watch coordinators, our count would not be as well-oiled a machine as it is. A special "thank you" is in order to Artemis and Harold Eyster, who were kind enough to fill in as area 5 leaders in Mike Kielb's absence. They did so admirably and capably, so muchas gracias! See you all next year!

text: I told my wife about the idea some of you on this board posted about bringing your own souvenirs in an extra suitcase, and then surprising the kids with them at opportune times. She especially likes the idea of having "Tinkerbell" visit the hotel room each night, leaving a special gift for each of them. So, we're passively looking at the clearance section of the retail stores when we have the chance, looking for inexpensive bring-your-own souvenirs. We have two daughters, ages 7 and 4, and they're very much into Disney and especially Princesses. So, my wife gets this catalog in the mail today, from "The Lakeside Collection." Inside are a few licensed Disney products, moderately priced for Disney, and I wanted to get your opinion on them. These can be viewed at www dot lakeside dot com. First, a complete princess doll set, with Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Belle, and Rapunzel, for $12.95: Second, Ariel, Tinkerbell or Princess overnight bags, $7.95 each: Third, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, or Belle dress-up magnet sets, $4.95 each: And lastly, Disney Princess handheld game, $9.95 each: Are these good choices for bring-your-own souvenirs, instead of purchasing what I assume will be overpriced stuff in the parks? Especially if Tinkerbell "delivers" some each night? I'm also combing eBay for: mickey ears hats autograph books jackets/sweatshirts (we're going in December) Let's use this thread to post other ideas for inexpensive bring-your-own souvenirs!

Peugeot recalls various models for defective fuel heater cover
Peugeot has issued a recall for several of their models because of a potential defective fuel heater cover that were built from 03/09/2012 to 19/12/2014.
What models are affected? There are seven in all, and these are the 308, RCZ, 3008, 5008, 508, 807 & EXPERT III Van, and there are 12,840 units to be recalled in all.
There is the fear that fuel could leak because the diesel fuel filter cover may be defective on these models, and if so heat could then build up in the electrical supply connector. If this were to happen, then the cover may distort and allow air to enter the circuit.
Affected models could become difficult to start, and there is even a chance that diesel could start to leak.
In order to resolve this issue, Peugeot are to recall all seven models and replace the heater cover if needed, and also the electrical connector will be checked and replaced if necessary.
If you have any concerns, then please contact Peugeot Customer Care on 0800 042 2422. And, if you have any issue with your Peugeot you can share your problems HERE.

Artist Jeff Koons named to panel choosing Tappan Zee Bridge design, team
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday named a heavy-hitting panel of renowned artists, architects and financiers to choose the construction team that will build a replacement for the Tappan Zee Bridge as he presses ahead with a $5.4 billion plan he predicts will put the lie to Albany dysfunction.
Heading the list of panelists are neo-pop sculptor and painter Jeff Koons, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier and Metropolitan Museum of Art director Thomas P. Campbell.
The list of luminaries, many with experience in projects across the globe, highlighted the governor's willingness to throw his political heft behind a project that has the potential to shape his legacy.
"Yes, it's a bridge but it's a symbol of what we're trying to do to get the government running, to get the government as an agent of change, to get the government competent and functioning and to get big things done in the state of New York," Cuomo said Wednesday.
"It will be a big sign of progress, a big act of progress for the state."
Koons, whose iconic works include an inflatable rabbit that appeared in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, said he was honored to be selected. "It's a wonderful opportunity for our generation to contribute to a project that will not only enhance everyday life but help define a sense of place for New York," he said.
Not everyone shared Koons' enthusiasm.
The head of the environmental advocacy group, Riverkeeper, said the blue-ribbon panel's selection did little to answer questions swirling about the need for rail or bus lines on the bridge as well as the impact on the environment.
"Gov. Cuomo's newly announced team of design and aesthetic experts is impressive," said Phillip Musegaas, Riverkeeper's director. "But the future success of this project depends on what the state brings to the table to make this a truly sustainable, affordable river crossing that meets our transportation needs without causing irreparable damage to the Hudson River. Unfortunately, this latest effort does nothing to address the critical shortcomings of the Governor's initiative."
Cuomo said the panel will include dozens of technical advisers with a wealth of experience in transportation and environmental issues as well as community leaders with an eye toward the concerns of residents in the lower Hudson Valley region.
On the panel are the planning commissioners for Rockland and Westchester counties -- Thomas Vanderbeek and Edward Burroughs.
Both men were hand-picked by the county executives Scott Vanderhoef of Rockland and Rob Astorino of Westchester, who lent their support for the project after receiving assurances that the mass transit issue would be studied.
Also on the panel is Thomas Wermuth, an expert on the social and economic history of the Hudson Valley and the author of "Rip Van Winkle's Neighbors: The Transformation of Rural Society in the Hudson River Valley."
Cuomo did not tip his hand and indicate the sort of bridge he would like to see replace the aging Tappan Zee. "We'll know it when we see it," he said.
But, he said, he wants a bridge that will fit with the Hudson River as a backdrop.
"This is in a magnificent location on the globe literally," Cuomo said. "This is one of the really beautiful places on this planet. This bridge is going to be there for a long, long time, 100 years, 150 years and that it enhances the region from a design point of view is also a very important perspective."The committee has three options when it concludes its review of the three bidders next month. It can select one of the three firms, authorize the state to negotiate with one or more of the bidders or request a best and final offer from all three teams.
Aside from evaluating the bridge's design, the panel will consider the impact that each bid will have on tolls as well as the bidder's ability to meet environmental requirements.
The panel's selection will be forwarded to the board of directors of the New York State Thruway Authority for a vote.
The three construction consortiums selected by the state in July include: Kiewit-Skanska-Weeks Joint Venture (Kiewit Infrastructure Co., Skanska USA Civil Northeast Inc. and Weeks Marine Inc.), Tappan Zee Bridge Partners (Bechtel Infrastructure Corp. and Tutor Perini Corp.) and Tappan Zee Constructors (Fluor Enterprises Inc., American Bridge Co., Granite Construction Northeast Inc. and Traylor Bros. Inc.)
Billed as one of the nation's largest capital works projects, the project is expected to generate about 45,000 jobs during the five-year construction phase slated to begin next year. Fourteen major trade unions already have signed on, promising not to strike in return for desperately needed jobs for their workers.
The bridge opened to traffic in 1955 to handle 100,000 cars per day. Today, some 138,000 vehicles travel the span, causing bumper-to-bumper crawls during rush-hour commutes.
State officials contend that the bridge has surpassed its life span and become a safety hazard because there are no breakdown lanes for motorists, among other problems.
The announcement Wednesday comes as state officials await word on whether the U.S. Department of Transportation will turn over as much as $2.9 billion in loans to help kick-start the project.
Two weeks ago, the Cuomo Administration asked for a portion of $17 billion in federal funds freed up in July through the Transportation Infrastructure and Innovation Act (TIFIA), which provides low-interest federal loans to states and cities looking to repair or replace aging bridges and tunnels.
TIFIA loans can only support 49 percent of the cost of the project, which means the state will have to issue state Thruway Authority bonds backed by bridge tolls to pay off the rest -- estimated at between $2.3 billion and $2.7 billion.
The authority collected $127 million in toll revenue from the bridge last year, which is 20 percent of the $634 million in tolls collected across a system that runs from Buffalo to New York City.
While state officials have pegged the total cost of the project at $5.4 million, the actual cost won't be known until the panel selects a winner.
The project will be paid for largely through increasing tolls on the span, currently $5 one way and $4.75 with E-ZPass. This summer, state officials said tolls would increase to $14 one way after the span is completed. As criticism mounted, however, Cuomo backed off, dismissing the proposed increase as too high.
Aside from financing concerns, the state could still face a legal challenge from environmental groups displeased that the plan doesn't include a viable mass transit option from the start, which Cuomo said could double the cost.
The state has only committed to adding a dedicated rush-hour bus lane to the span, but that lane would not be supported by bus lanes in towns neighboring the bridge.
The bridge will be built sturdily enough so that mass transit can be added to the span in the future, Cuomo said. The selection panel will evaluate each bid to determine whether the consortium has considered the addition of bus lanes and rail lines.

2 Broke Girls
January 17, 2012 by staff
2 Broke Girls, In a truly amazing blaze of glory, 2 Broke Girls returned with its first episode since the TCA debacle. I think Martin Luther King Jr. wrote this episode. Super far from all things racist the cold open was. It featured Max and Caroline confronting Oleg for his sexual harassment by returning the favor. The best way to get a pervy guy to stop hitting on you is to hit on HIM! Laughs forever.
After the guy upstairs dies, Caroline decides they should know the rest of their neighbors. If I was their neighbor, they would already know me because I would have told them to get rid of the smelly ass horse they kept in the yard.
I don' t understand the urge to get to know your neighbors unless they happen to be a calendar girl. That's just more people you have to pretend to care about. Anyway, here's where it gets still not good. They think the new upstairs neighbor is a madam. Do you for some odd reason think that sex workers are people? Then you are going to want to have sex for money with this episode!
Please feel free to send if you have any questions regarding this post , you can contact on

Irish J1 student tried 'with every ounce of strength I had inside me' to end alleged attack, New York rape trial hears
The young Irish woman at the center of a New York rape trial has described how "with every ounce of strength I had inside me" she pulled her knee up and kicked her alleged assailant in the groin to bring and an end to her terrifying attack.
A former Goldman Sachs exec is accused of raping the then 20 year old after a night in an East Hampton nightclub in August 2013, a charge he denies.
Jason Lee was arrested at the luxury home he rented with his wife in East Hampton, accused of sexually assaulting a J1 student in the bathroom while her friend and brother partied nearby.
The 22 year old dropped her head and cried as she was asked to identify Mr Lee in Suffolk County Criminal Court.
The woman had been working in the US for the summer and was visiting her brother in the Hamptons for a few days on her way back to Ireland to return to college.
On the second night of their trip, the student along with her friends and her brother went to the Georgica nightclub in East Hampton, which the woman described in court as "very fancy, too fancy for us."
When the woman and her friend were approached by two older men, Mr Lee and his friend Rene Duncan, they thought it was funny she said. "We were just students, we didn't have much to offer."
After closing, the woman returned with Lee and some friends, including her brother to Mr Lee's $33,000 a month rental property.
The woman and her friend jumped in to the pool before returning to the kitchen to drink champagne, "that was going around" and eat pizza. Everything "was fine" she added.
Her brother became keen to leave at that point and the student walked to the bathroom to get changed.
In there she became of Lee standing at the door naked, she told the Court, thinking "he's just joking."
Lee pushed the door and she tripped and fell back. "He was on top of me," she sobbed, "holding my hands each side of my head."
The student said that initially she didn't understand what was happening, and told him to get off her. She called her friend, but he put his hand over her mouth and told her to "shut the f*ck up" and raped her.
The woman said that she couldn't bring herself to put her dress and underwear back on after the alleged attack because "they were disgusting," and she just sat there "in disbelief."
Police were called to the scene shortly after the alleged incident on a different matter and the student said that she didn't want to talk to them, she just wanted "to go home."
"I felt like it was my fault. I shouldn't have gotten in to the car. I should have just gone home. "
Earlier, the New York court heard testimony from the young woman's best friend, who said she found her "shaken" and "scared" after the alleged attack, "with tears in her eyes."
The alleged victim's friend cried in Suffolk County Criminal Court as she described the events of the night of August 20th 2013 and how "we just cried" when her friend told her what had happened.
The two young women had come to the Hamptons to visit the alleged victim's brother after spending a summer in the US working and on their second night, along with friends went on a night out to the Georgica nightclub in East Hampton.
"Everyone was in good form, enjoying themselves," the woman told the court.
The group of students met the banker, after the alleged victim's friend met Jason Lee's friend, Rene Duncan, and they kissed. The young women and her brother then joined the men at their table.
The group returned along with two other men to Mr Lee's rental property, once there a friend of the alleged victim's brother took Mr Duncan's car to drive two local men home.
Both women jumped in to the pool in their underwear, but didn't remain in the water long, the woman's friend told the Court. Mr Lee, who stripped naked, also jumped in to the pool.
When they emerged from the pool, the group ate food in the kitchen and chatted, she said.
They were in "good form" but the alleged victim's brother noticed she wasn't there and they became "curious as to where she had got to."
The search lasted "only a few minutes," she said, when the alleged victim emerged from a door as they approached.
"She looked shaken, scared, she had tears in her eyes. Her eyes were blood shot," she told the Court.
Her brother asked her what was going on, and the student said that she "just wanted to go," her friend said.
Around the same time, Mr Duncan who had lent his car to a friend of the group, became agitated about his vehicle, she said.
Mr Lee was trying to calm him down, telling him that there was "no need to call the police." The former banker jumped in to his Range Rover, she said and told them; "I'm going to bring ye, come on."
As the group waited on the front lawn of the house, "I observed her being really quiet. She was very shaken and scared and she just wanted to go."
When police arrived at the scene, the student's brother told an officer that something was wrong with his sister and she was taken to a squad car.
The woman asked to join her friend in the car a short time later and asked her what had happened in the house. When she told her, "we just cried," she told the Court.
When they emerged from the car, "I walked over to Rene and told him that his friend was going to be in a lot of trouble."
Defense lawyer, Andrew Lankler put it to the young woman that the group were drinking bottles of Absolut Vodka in the club on the night of the alleged incident and when questioned by Mr Lankler about a bottle of wine and champagne that was opened back at the house, the woman said she "didn't believe I had any drinks at the house."
As day four of the trial in Suffolk County Criminal Court began on Tuesday, prosecutor Kerriann Kelly told Judge Barbara Kahn that detectives escorting the young women on Monday night became aware they were being followed.
At the hotel where the women were staying, police were able to get the plate details, of one of two suspicious vehicles and matched them to that of a private investigator.
Ms Kelly reminded the Judge that an order of protection had already been issued for the alleged victim last year and third parties weren't permitted to approach the woman.
Lawyer for the defense, Andrew Lankler said that he wanted to state "emphatically, clearly and unequivocally" that no one on the defense team, including his client Mr Lee had hired an investigator.
The trial continues.
