JAMES JAY FRANKINADownload as PDF STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED February 22, 2005 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 251371 Macomb Circuit Court LC No. 2000-000503-FH JAMES JAY FRANKINA, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Fort Hood, P.J. and Griffin and Donofrio, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant appeals as of right his 85 to 240 month sentence for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, MCL 750.520b, entered after remand from this Court. We affirm. This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). On appeal from his resentencing, defendant argues that in scoring the sentencing guidelines, the trial court improperly considered prior misdemeanor convictions obtained without the presence of counsel. Convictions obtained in violation of the right to counsel cannot be considered in determining punishment for another offense. People v Love (After Remand), 214 Mich App 296, 299; 542 NW2d 374 (1995). A defendant who collaterally challenges a prior conviction bears the initial burden of establishing that the conviction was obtained without counsel or a proper waiver of counsel. Id. A defendant can satisfy this burden by either presenting prima facie proof such as a docket entry or transcript, or evidence that he requested such records from the sentencing court, and that request was ignored or denied. Id., 299-300. The presentence report only indicates that it was unknown whether an attorney was present for six of defendant's convictions. Defendant has not presented any information from the sentencing courts showing that counsel was not present and that defendant did not waive the right to counsel. In the alternative, there is no evidence that defendant requested records from the sentencing courts and that the request was not honored. Defendant did not carry his burden of proof, and he is not entitled to resentencing. People v Carpentier, 446 Mich 19, 31-32; 521 NW2d 195 (1994). Defendant also argues that the trial court erred in failing to determine the validity of a conviction for a November 2, 1993 misdemeanor when he had been sentenced to one year imprisonment on May 10, 1993, and to eighteen months' imprisonment on July 29, 1993. However, defendant presented no evidence that he was actually incarcerated on the date of the -1- offense. Where defendant was scored for having five or six prior misdemeanor convictions, and the PSIR shows that he had seven convictions, the deletion of one conviction would not affect the guidelines score. Affirmed. /s/ Karen M. Fort Hood /s/ Richard Allen Griffin /s/ Pat M. Donofrio -2-

September 17, 2014
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Department store chain Kohl's says second-quarter profit fell more than 12 percent as same-store sales dipped as consumers continued to pull back their spending.
The Menomonee Falls, Wis.-based company says it earned $236 million, or 77 cents per share, during the three-month period ending in August. That's down from the same period last year, when Kohl's earned $269.2 million, or 83 cents per share.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected earnings of 73 cents per share.
Kohl's Corp. says sales rose 3.8 percent in the quarter to $3.7 billion, on par with estimates. But same-store sales fell 4.6 percent. That's a key figure in retailing and measures sales at stores open at least a year.
The company says it has lower inventory of spring and summer merchandise, which helped profit margins.

NY Good Questions: Is The Red Too Much?
Dear AT,
I painted my garage door this weekend, a bold Benjamin Moore Red.
My neighbors are a bit scandalized.
Is it too much?
I am planning on painting the front door to match.
Thanks! Djiara

I think it looks brilliant, and will look even better when the door is painted.
What do your neighbors know? I think it looks great with the grey. It is very similiar to a couple of the Behr color schemes.
Next time go with a purple house! Then they will remember this scheme fondly.
I think with a red door it will look fabulous. The neighbors will get used to it :)
It's hard to tell from your picture... Is the house white or a pale yellow? Is the front door seen on the right?
Based on this picture I think I might agree with your neighbors. I like the color you chose... just not so much for a garage door. It might look better if the driveway were black though.
Maybe they are jealous? The red looks great.
they just need to get used to it. newness is always shocking. looks great. the door will give it balance.
I think the red looks great and would look great on the front door...
But I do think that you may also want to consider making the rest of your house ONE color AND one that complements the red... because it looks like white and yellow, but that could just be my monitor playing tricks on me. And right now the yellow/white against the rest may not be doing your fantastic paint job the right justice!
I kind of like it...tell them you'll think about it for a week.
(And then leave it if you like it. I can think of much worse.)
I can't tell if it works with the rest of the colors on your house.
*gasp* How DARE you infringe on your neighbor's right to drive past a beige garage door!?
(lol, looks great)
Once you paint the door, you could add some red in the yard too. Flowers, etc. That might help unify it and make it less shocking to them. I, however, LOVE red on the outside of houses!
Keep it and paint the front door to match. I LOVE it. ;)
I just got finished painting my aunt's house. We painted the front door blue to match an accent colour that we used on interesting design details. It looks so neat!
Love it!!!
I agree with lizzer764 that some red flowers and accents in the yard would really tie it all together.
It's fantastic, and don't you DARE change it!
Loving the red garage door. Haters be damned.
I agree with theninthcloud. Pick a unifying color for the overall house (the light grey and deeper grey trim of the garage gets my vote). In doing so, it will play up the garage door w/o it stealing from the look of the entire house.
I think it looks great!
it's sort of hard to tell the shade of red looking at a photograph on a computer screen, but I'm all for bright colors on houses. If you like it, who cares?
I think it's a touch much. I agree, screw the neighbors, but you are clearly asking here because you doubt the color choice, not because you're worrying about inciting a neighborhood riot. I like the idea of going with a strong red as you did, maybe a couple shades darker/deeper though. If you wanted to change it, it wouldn't take more than one coat to get to the new color if its only a slight bit different.
Kudos to going for something fun and bold.
Love it.
You might want to consider deepening the blue-grey trim a bit. It looks a little pale next to the red, and the same shade only a bit darker might keep it from getting washed out.
Love it!!
Love it! But I am biased as I have a red door too :-) No garage, but if I did I would consider this!
Looks great! Maybe the neighbors should take your cue and paint their own doors bright bright colors.
It's splendid!
I like the idea of red but I think that might be the wrong shade. I keep looking at the roof and and it makes the door lean towards an orange hue.
Wonderful! But ...
How does the apparently orangy-red garage door go with the apparently purply-red roof? The colors seem to clash in the photo. I would try to harmonize the two reds.
REFRESHING. Love it. Let your neighbors freak because you are creative and an individual. I think painting the front door to match will be great.
Personally, we have one home on our block that tastefully pushed the color barrier on exterior paint and I look forward to passing their house.
It will look good once the front door is done. Probably out of the budget, but it would look great if you had some windows in the garage door to help balance out the starkness of it.
I have to agree with some, that in this photo, it does look a tad bright. However, I think with some other red accents (the door, maybe some glazed pots, flowers). It will help tie it to the house better.
Your neighbors are scandalized by THAT?
I love red doors... only problem MIGHT be (can't tell from the picture) what color it really is, bright orange red washed with sunlight could be a little too loud, a fire truck engine red is a beautiful thing in big amounts though. When we (yes, proverbial we because it took two to paint it) had to choose a color for our door, we had to mix 2 different reds a chinese red (too bright) with a dark almost burgundy (way too sad and dark)... we ended up with a sexy medium red that livens up that whole side of the room. So if you love it, fcuk the neighbors; but if you still feel uneasy try another red, no need to panic.
oh, pishposh to the neighbors. it looks fantastic. throw some red geraniums or impatiens about the yard for more instant fabulous!. i would go so far as to do the front door red as well!
I really like the color and it seems to be a nice compliment to your home's trim color although it think it would be best to have only the front door this color. It is very bold and therefore all the attention is drawn to the garage not always what you want to be the main focal point of your home. Your front door is what should draw people to your home and make them feel welcome to come in. Generally your front door should be a different color from everything else on your hoome. This is a nice example: http://www.thisyounghouse.com/2008/04/the-red-coats/
i think it looks great--paint the door red, and add some other accents of red, maybe large planters, etc. to pull it together more.
As someone who grew up in a red house - I like it!
Love the bright color. I painted my front door a Big Bird yellow (actually B. Moore's rain jacket yellow) and still get compliments. Adding spots of red in the garden will set it up just right.
Yes, it's too much. A red front door with your nice red mailbox is just right.
"Welcome to my front door" red is the right message. "Welcome to my two car garage" is not.
I would like the color for the Front door, but not the garage door. It would be more welcoming if you played up the entrance with color and accessories. I don't think there should be so much emphasis on garages and our need for the automobile. Garages usually take up 1/3 to 2/3's of our home's facade.
i think it looks good, but i would paint the house a sage perhaps and paint your front door red too.
I agree, screw the neighbors. But I also agree that there's something fighty going on with the red of the garage door and the red-purple of the roof. I would try to harmonize those two by going with a slightly cooler red.
I think painting the trim a little deeper color (while a right pain in the ass) would be good too. And doing the door to match is a great idea!
I love red doors -- red front doors. They are a classic; there is nothing shocking about them.
Until you paint your front door the same red, your garage will dominate your facade, and be the most important piece -- that is why your neighbours are reacting the way they are.
By painting your garage door the same bright colour, you are giving it equal weight to your front door -- not necessarily the right message.
Your home should have one focus -- the front door. Garage doors should be made discreet, not highlighted.
I have to agree with eg
I'm in the minority but I don't like it at all. I'm all for a red door and red accessories (like a mailbox). I just never feel like the garage door should be the focus of the house. Painting the door won't be enough to balance it, the red garage door will dominate the space.
love the red :-)
Paint the front door first and see if you like the overall presentation. If it seems like too much red, then perhaps the garage door needs some toning down. It looks like there are rectangular raised panels on your garage door. What do you think about painting those squares the same color as your trim? Would that be too busy?
I agree that the garage door might not be the best thing to highlight, but hey it's out there right in front and I think it's better to be adventurous with it and make it fun than just leave a big old beige box dominating the front of your house. Definitely punch up the red in other places though with flowers or accessories to give it some cohesion.
who the hell cares? what, you need permission from the global web community?
do what YOU want with your door. screw what the neighbors say, what we say, and do what you please.
I am in the 'red rocks so paint the front door too!' camp.
It looks neat. The end.
Love it. I actually painted a front door red once, then I painted it with a cow pattern. Most of the neighbors loved it. Find your neighbors who love your red door and you may find some new friends!
I think it would be great on the front door. I don't like it on the garage though. I think that the garage should be painted to match the house. Why draw attention to your garage?
The red is bold and dramatic, which is great, but the rest of your 'curb presentation' is not as adventurous, so there's a disharmony. To make your red doors work with the whole composition, I'd say pump up the drama in your landscaping, paint the drive black, and swop out your house lights for overscaled shiny nickel lanterns. The roof would look better with dark grey shingles as well , but that's an undertaking you probably do not want to venture just to coordinate with paint.
If you're not willing to go all the way to the bold side, paint the garage door the blue-grey trim colour.
My neighbor's front door was orange and I hated it. I had my front door painted to match my car . . . RED. A year or so later, they changed their front door to red. When we replaced our front door, I got a door color to again match my vehicle. My new front door is black. I say you should use colors you like.
I'm a little surprised by all the support you're getting here! It's a pretty shocking shade, like a safety red, and I'm falling squarely in the "not loving it" camp. It looks (from the photo) that the idea of red was so exciting you went with the brightest one you could find. It dominates the front of your house and makes it the focal feature of the whole yard. If you love red (and it looks like you do) please, for the love of pete, tone it down to a shade that's made for house exteriors.
We've got a similar color scheme on our house, light grey with ivory trim, and the red door we used to have looked trite and predictable. We're going black now and it's much more dramatic and welcoming.
It's fantastic...and who cares what the neighbors think. We painted our house Behr's "Italian Olive" and received an overheard "baby poop" response and praise in the same day.
I loooove it! It makes your garage seem so cheery and welcoming.
Another good question is: "Is your garage door the thing you want to feature about your house?"
I think your neighbors sound a little uptight, but I'm definitely not partial to the car-centric architecture that presents the garage as the main entrance of the house.
If it were my place, I'd put a grape arbor arching over the entire driveway.
I do like the red. Most auspicious and good for your regular front door, too.
I don't like it. But then again, I don't like ANY treatment (or architecture for that matter) that draws extra attention to the garage door. I don't own a car and much prefer pedestrian-oriented/pedestrian-friendly urban design where the pedestrian is given a higher status than the car. Or at least design where the front door is given more emphasis than the garage door...
oohh. Just had another idea: replace the regular garage door with and old barn-style door. You know the kind with a "Z"-shaped board pattern?
Then the red won't just look great; it will be a necessity!
I think it looks fantastic, with or without a matching door. don't let your neighbors sway you. the only thing i would be worried about is if you're in an historic district and only certain colors are authorized for use on home's exteriors. otherwise, enjoy it!
love it! ive thought about painting my doors with bolder colors, but just cant seem to get over sticking out like a sore thumb.. in a good way, id hope. i mean, cmon, two homes on my street are seafoam color.. i dont see how it could look much worse than that.
I love the bold choice, but you might want to reconsider the shade as it doesn't seem to play well with the color of the roof.
As for the neighbors, they are probably just startled that you did something different. In the eyes of some people, doing something different or unexpected instantly makes you suspect.
Just ask Barack Obama.
It would look better if it were a darker, cooler red, and if you had more striking plantings in the front.
I like bold colours in general, but I think this particular red clashes with your shingles and the pale siding, and kind of screams "here's my big garage door!", which is not what I'd want people to focus on.
That said, if you love it, your neighbours can just deal with it.
I don't think the garage door should be the focal point of your home, it really seems to overwhelm the whole facade-it's certainly making a statement, and if you love it great-if not, what about some fab landscaping???
I'm surprised everyone loves it. I wonder if the neighbors' opinion hadn't been included if the response would have been the same.
The garage already dominates the house by design. Painting the door such a bright red only highlights this. Paint your front door a more crimson red and the garage door a darker gray. Put some big red geraniums in window boxes with some trailing vines and maybe a tall plant between the front door and the window on the left.
I like it a lot
You like it, it's your house, not your neighbor's, so let it be red.
I love the red! Do you neighbors pay your mortgage? Eff them and enjoy being the neighborhood pariah/center of attention!
Don't change it, red is a very positive colour and some Asian cultures believe that a red front door is very lucky, so jump right on to painting that front door as well.
It looks great! It's not too much at all. Will look even better when the front door is done. I'm sure it spices up the neighborhood.
i'm not a fan of highlighting garages. that said, YOUR DOOR YOUR RULES. if it makes you smile pulling into the driveway, good for you.
I painted all my shutters and doors a "London telephone box" red ... very unusual for a Greek-island house, where the traditional color is blue. The grounds are surrounded with red geraniums and lots of green succulents and shrubs. It looks absolutely terrific, and I've had lots of compliments from my Greek neighbors. Of course, the house itself is blindingly white, and the contrast is gorgeous and combines beautifully with the blue sky and sea. Go with a color that makes you happy!
You need more red accessories in the yard, like flowers, mailbox, house trim, etc or it stands out like a sore thumb. How does it look in person with the roof (clash or blend)? The grey is great with the red btw.
it looks great! red doors symbolize a welcoming household and good luck.

The Evening Splits in Half
SPN. Sam/Dean, in Sam's head. NC17. Warning: masturbation fantasies containing dubious consent.
"Sam has a catalog of images." ~1700 words
If it weren't for Dad, if it weren't for Dean, if it weren't for this crazy itinerant life where they do shit like pull him away from history homework because they need backup on a monster hunt, then maybe Sam wouldn't end up so fucked up. Dad veers wildly between neglect and breathing down their necks, and the whiplash only makes Sam cling tighter to Dean because at least Dean is stable, predictable in all ways. Dean will needle and taunt and staunch all bleeding and hold Sam close until help comes, and the next day he will give Sam shit for wanting to finish his homework instead of watching TV. Dean slakes Sam's thirst and feeds his hunger, and Sam is painfully aware of it the way all carriers of terrible secrets are aware of their sins. Everyday it's just Dean Dean Dean, an eyeful of him, a heartful of him, ubiquitous, omnipresent, a habit Sam cannot break. It makes Sam angry. It breaks Sam down with want.
It's a cool clear night and all sense of self-preservation goes out the window when the harpy tucks back its wings and makes a bee-line for Dean. It hurtles screeching through the air, and Sam runs full-tilt and knocks his brother out of the way. They both tumble on the dirt, head over heels, too appropriate of a metaphor, and when Sam ends up on top of Dean, his fists bunched in the ratty Metallica shirt, they are both breathing hard, fast. They are wild-eyed and high on adrenalin. Sam feels a second rush of instinct to bend down and press his mouth to Dean's, part his brother's lips with his tongue, but then a sudden horror seizes him and a voice in his head goes no no no. Keep it together, Winchester.
"My hero," is all Dean says, ruffling Sam's hair and grinning fondly. Sam wrenches away, blushing furiously.
A couple of days later, Dad's fucked off somewhere, shifty as usual, and Dean is out enjoying the thrills and chills of being newly twenty-one, so it's just Sam alone in the motel room and that's how he likes it these days. The monster in his heart has made him taciturn. His father called it "the teenage blues" and Dean called it "being a dickweed", and when he shoved Sam affectionately, Sam shoved back twice as hard, with what seemed like no affection.
"What'd I tell you?" Dad sighed, rolling his eyes at Dean in a commiserating sort of manner, and it made Sam want to punch something.
So yeah, tonight Sam has the motel room all to himself, so he is in the shower jerking off to thoughts he only recently admitted to having. All the times Dean has carelessly pulled off his t-shirt and Sam couldn't look away from golden skin and the contours of muscle, not because Dean was beautiful and therefore Sam loved him, but because Sam loved him and therefore found himself helplessly observant in the face of new desires, old loves taking new form. He would not be averse to pressing his palms against the wings of Dean's shoulder blades and bending down to taste the back of his neck.
Sam has a catalog of images: Dean shoving him against the wall and growling threateningly, Dean shoving him face-first against a wall and taking him, just taking him and taking him, Dean holding him down on an anonymous bed, hand on his chest, or maybe Sam's face-down and Dean's hand is on the back of his neck and he can't breathe. And Dean, right there, closer than he has ever been before, sliding in and out of him, sometimes rough, but sometimes slow as if meaning to punish Sam by prolonging the experience. The fantasies are comforting in their brutality, starring a Dean analogue who takes from Sam everything he is afraid to give. Sam jerks himself erratically and closes his eyes, imagining Dean holding him down and fucking him, imagines the smooth roll of his hips, grunting like porn stars do, saying, "Yeah, Sam, yeah," like he's the whore. The slap of flesh against flesh. The stuttered gasps they'd make. "You fucking love this, you fucked up shit," Dean says, because even in his fantasies, Sam needs the truth.
I'm a sick fucking freak, Sam thinks, and the words tumble out of Dean's mouth, fraught with venom and accusation as he pounds into Sam, who in these fantasies is always too overwhelmed to protest, afraid to voice anything that might betray his desire.
In real life, the furthest Sam has ever gone with anyone is a quick and particularly embarrassing trip to third base with Angela Foreman in her car, and he has no conception of what a dick might even feel like in his ass. He is too nervous to find out. More than Dean's dick, he wants Dean, the man himself, and the permission to wrap himself around his brother and explore in body what Sam already knows in spirit. But these feelings are too sincere, so Sam doesn't think of them when it's time to jerk off. He hides them behind these baser, punitive tales, primal in their predictability, recognizable in their lust and fear of lust.
The scenario changes. Dean holds Sam to him back to front, Sam's back against Dean's front, and Dean's touching him, hissing in his ear all the things Sam needs to hear. "This what you want, Sammy?" with his hand down Sam's pants, loose-fingered and teasing, moving slow and steady as Dean laughs huskily in his ear. "I always knew you were fucked up," he says, and bites Sam's earlobe, sucks a kiss onto the side of his neck as if meaning to draw blood.
Sam, alone in the shower and steam of the bathroom, bites his lip and groans.
Dean's other hand slides up under Sam's shirt, and his touch is so warm, smoother than something like this has any right to be. He pinches a nipple and tugs, and Sam makes a broken sound, curses as Dean chuckles. "So fucking easy," Dean murmurs, and mouths at Sam's neck, all hot breaths, a slow warm tongue, and Sam tilts his head to him and Dean obliges: he kisses Sam, and Sam is lost in it, lost in the rhythm of Dean's hand between his legs, faster now and rough and unrelenting. His brother is everywhere around him, dismantling him.
"Sam," Dean says against his mouth.
Sam comes. He bites his lip and tries to not make a sound.
He finishes his shower as if in a daze, orbiting himself in a disconnected haze. He tries to keep his mind blank until his heart rate returns to normal, but little bits keep slipping in – the imagined softness of Dean's lips, a voice twisted low and rough by lust. The way Dean might look at him if he felt the same way. (Might he? Could he? The potential answers are terrifying, and Sam never lingers on the question for very long.)
This was not a desire that used to consume him so, but the more Sam became aware of his proclivities, the bigger and faster they grew inside him, fertilized by fear and guilt. Are you happy now? he sometimes wants to ask of his life at the zenith of self-loathing. Fine, Dean, family comes first. Fine, Dad, family is all I have. Fine, this is all I can be. I get it. Are you happy?
Sam sits on the bed and tries to finish his math homework, but his mind wanders to dramatic scenarios that force confessions, tipping points where he can say to his brother, They've taken everything else. You're the only one I have. The world Sam inhabits is small, and he both fears and hopes that it is all he needs. It makes him bleed. It patches him up. It raises him, then cuts him down. It opens his eyes to a wider world unknown to most people, then takes away all exits.
Perhaps there is such a thing as destiny, that it's all meant to be this way.
"We're heroes, Sam," Dean is fond of saying, and every time he'd smile that sweet and open smile. Hunting is the one thing Dean isn't cynical about, and that smile discombobulates Sam every time.
Sam has a catalog of images, a list of what he really wants. Fucking is convenient shorthand, but mostly he wants to strip himself and his brother naked and explore, discover the body's triggers and tastes. You have caught so many of my sins, now catch this too. He wants to see the shirt pulled up, revealing Dean's stomach inch by inch. You're the only one I know, so let's know this too. He wants to see Dean's head tipped back, eyes closed, mouth open with silent pleasure. He wants to kiss his jaw and feel the prickle of stubble. The feel of Dean's neck against his cheek, pulse point beating against his skin.
Fuck this shit. Sam can't do homework like this.
When Dean comes home later, Sam is in the shower again and he ceases all movement to focus on the sound of his brother stumbling drunkenly in the motel room. A few seconds later, there is a sharp rap on the door.
"You in there?" Dean hollers.
"Dude, I'm showering!" Sam yells back, even though he is finished here. He turns off the water, steps out of the tub, and grabs a towel from the rack.
"Okay, just checking," he says, and then to Sam's surprise, he hears Dean stumble away. There is the creak of bedsprings like someone collapsing on a bed.
He stays in the bathroom long enough for Dean to fall asleep. It seems easier that way.
What are you going to do with yourself, Sam Winchester?
He cringes when the bathroom door creaks upon opening, but Dean is snoring softly on the bed, dead to the world. Sam crosses the room to the other bed, picks up the mess of papers that is his homework, and goes to the rickety desk in the corner, where he turns on the table lamp. He turns off the room lights, and glances at Dean, a silhouette in the shadows.
The feel of Dean's neck against his cheek, pulse point beating against his--
Sam sits at the desk and does his work.

Friday Favorites posts feature news articles from the food world, recipes which look amazing, or anything I find interesting, want to share, or think readers might like too.
Leave a comment and tell me what you think!
1. Respect for every ingredient:
Even though I have not always been a fan of his, this Rick Steves article expresses one of the best parts of traveling in Italy; the respect and appreciation for every ingredient which is part of the cultural fabric.
2. Are companies "Green Washing" their products by deceptively using the words "organic" and "natural?"
The short answer is unfortunately yes. This article goes into detail about how they do it, citing examples like Sara Lee's new EarthGrains breads which purport to be more "environmentally friendly" but really use grains which are not grown sustainably or organically.
While the term "organic" is somewhat regulated, the term "natural" is not …

1. Slice tuna against the grain, then chop into small cubes. Place in bowl.
2. Add the mayo, Sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix to combine and place in fridge until ready to use.
3. Using either your hands and some cling wrap or a sushi mold, form rice into small rectangles (about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick). Rice should be packed as tightly as possible so that it doesn't fall apart when frying.
4. Roll formed rice pieces in sesame mix to coat.
5. Coat the bottom of a non-stick frying pan with vegetable oil and place over high heat. When oil is hot enough to sizzle, fry each piece for about a minute on each side, or until golden brown. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate.
6. When cool, enough to handle, arrange ricepieces on a serving platter. Place spicy tuna mixture onto top to cover. Garnish with sliced scallion and serve.

Friends of Middleton Park
Middleton Park is situated 4 miles from the City Centre in urban South Leeds. Of its 630 acres, 200 are ancient woodland, there are also grasslands, a golf course and other recreational areas.
The Friends of Middleton Park (FoMP) were formed in 2003 to promote local interest and involvement in the park and its woodland.
As well as its rich natural history, Middleton also has a fascinating local history including coal mining and the Middleton Railway. Two areas of the park have been designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument due to the presence of historic coal mining remains, and a community archaeology project recorded the mining archaeology of the area in 2006 - 2008.
This site contains information about all aspects of Middleton Park including its history and location, coming events, pictures and much more.
The book "Coal Mining in Middleton Park: An Archaeological Investigation by the Middleton Park Community Archaeological Project" has sold out.

Made in China - new furniture project coming soon
table by Carlo Mollino
Rococo X Versace
"We just have to look at the future in a very different way from the way we've seen the past. Ever since Britiain's industrial revolution, the world has essentially been shaped by the West. The furniture which we're familiar with as global furniture, is Western furniture. The arrivial of China as a major player will progressively change that picture. Not just economically. This is a much bigger story than just an economic change. What will happen is the Chinese template, as it were, will become increasingly important in shaping the world. The key point here is that Chinese modernity – which is an emerging phenomenon - will not simply be a clone or replica of Western modernity. It will overlap with it, it has learned a lot from it, but it will be highly distinctive."

This is a good idea but on ALL of these we bought we have had to DOUBLE every single one of them. You can see through them clear as day, so if you are thinking of using them for privacy forget it unless you double them. They are also "more or less 13 feet" yep they actually are pretty much 12 foot. Some are little sticks and some are almost like broom sticks. The wires don't help to hold the fending up at all so be ready to have a frame system in place and LOTS of ties of some sort to hold it

The surprisingly successful shooter gets a sequel
Articles Borderlands 2
Borderlands 2 is a first person shooter with RPG leveling. It's distinctive with it's cell-shaded graphics, over the top weaponry and characters.
We saw a demo of early Borderlands 2 gameplay where the player begins in a cold wasteland, and quickly comes across some ice-dwelling monsters. These showed off the improved enemy AI in the game: using their environments intelligently, enemies don't simply attack, but will find objects to throw at you too and try to stay on higher ground. With humanoid enemies, this increased intelligence is even more pronounced - they work in teams to out-flank you, retreat when wounded and more.
All the battles in Borderlands 2 were reassuringly dynamic and dramatic, without feeling scripted. The range of weaponry is really varied, with the new use-once-and-throwaway-guns called Tediores looking really cool - they have ammunition in them, but you can also throw them as grenades, making them very flexible.
The mission demoed saw you teaming up with a female siren in two player co-op mode, to rescue Roland, a character from the first game. He has been captured by a large hovering robot, hiding out in a lair guarded by weaponized mining robots. Fighting through these as Roland is being taken away through the industrial complex, we saw enemy backup robots being fired in from a moon base, which looked really cool and emphasized the incredible scale. The moonbase can attack anywhere on the planet of Pandora, run by 'Handsome Jack', who is trying to violently bring law and order.
There was plenty of macabre, violent humor along the way, and the demo finished with the start of what looked like a big boss battle. The player was flung off a high damn structure by an enormous robot. Views from here, when there was time to look, were really impressive, and the huge landscape we could see is apparently all explorable in Borderlands 2.
Developers Gearbox were keen to make the point that they feel many game sequels are just 'content dumps', additional levels with no substantive changes, so they want to make Borderlands 2 a genuinely new game with real changes, and from what I saw, they are well on the way to achieving that.

Lawsuits against Mirena®: Potential impact on public health Antoinette A. Danvers, Gretchen S. Stuart, Amy G. Bryant
Patient requests for removal of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena®) have recently increased in our clinic. Patients report being frightened by television or Internet publicity (e.g., call 1-800-BAD-DRUG). These patient requests and reports prompted us to investigate current and past litigation surrounding intrauterine contraception (IUC). Widespread use of IUC may set the stage for another epidemic of lawsuits against this safe and effective contraceptive method. In this commentary, the authors explore the historical and current litigation environment for Mirena®, the impact of the media on women's perceptions of contraceptive devices, and the negative impact inappropriate litigation can have on women's health.

Gorge Grown Food Network, Washington State University-Klickitat County Extension, and the Goldendale Farmers' Market are co-sponsoring a day of free workshops geared toward vegetable farmers, market vendors, and avid gardeners on Jan. 14 at the Goldendale Grange, 228 E. Darland Street.
Three workshops will be offered covering season extension, fruit tree pruning, and garden tool maintenance.
The day begins with a season extension course from 10 a.m. to noon featuring local farmers Hank and Alison Chausee.
The course is designed to support beginning farmers and farmers' market vendors wishing to expand their growing season with practical, low-cost methods.
Serious home gardeners and homesteaders will also benefit from the course.
The couple will cover cold frame construction, low-tunnel construction, growingtechniques, and planting schedules for an extended season. Season extension can increase profits and extend seasonal cash flow for farmers.
People with home orchards can learn more about tree care with Janiece Lancaster's fruit tree pruning class at 12:30 p.m. She will also discuss garden tool maintenance at 1:15.
Seating is limited, so attendees are asked to register with Judy Shinn, Goldendale Farmers' Market manager, by email (email@example.com) or phone (509-261-0782).
Gorge Grown Food Network is working with WSU and OSU Extension partners to offer more season extension education this winter. Updates on additional educational opportunities are announced through the Gorge Grown Food Network E-news. Sign-up is available at www.gorgegrown.org.
This season extension workshop is made possible by Gorge Grown Food Network's 2011 USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) grant. The grant will allow market vendor trainings to occur throughout the Gorge, helping the markets to grow and become more sustainable.

Din kate na raat
Lyrics & Chords
hi frnds this song was originally composed by XLRI persons……
I didnt find BG music for this song thr4 sung it without BG music,please consider……
If anyone finds BG music for this song please Give me ……
thnx in advance……
Din kate na raat…
What brought us together, might remain unspoken.
What held us together, might be worn off and broken.
Even if your way was different, as i felt was mine,
Now i want our paths to cross, waiting for my time.
Din kate na raat kate na subah kate na shaam,
Dhoop hate na chaaon hate na gum hate na jaam,
Dekho sabka katega
Sabka katega raam, yun hi kat ta rahega,
Sabka katega raam.
Teri yaadon main kal ki rain bitayi thi,
Meri aakhon main firse aas bhar aayi thi,
Shaakhon se phool toote, raahon main jiske,
Dil dooba num hua pyaar main uske,
Yaad ghate na yaad bhare ye yaad badhe har saans,
Pyaas main teri jaane kitne kaat chuka main jaam,
Dekho sabka katega,
Sabka katega raam, yun hi kat ta rahega,
Sabka katega raam.
Phir se subah hogi, kabhi to tere dar par,
Phir se tere mann main, hum rahein har pal.
Phir se subah hogi, kabhi tere dar par,
Phir se tere mann main, hum rahein har pal.
Kya hua jo jhooth kaha ki mujhe na tumse pyaar,
Maan bhi jaao kat jayega pyaar main jeevan yaar,
Jaise sabka katega,
Sabka katega yaar, yun hi kat ta rahega,
Sabka katega yaar.

You sound better without music….as you are more focused on notes then…. :D
Definately Flats and Dipping Notes in this….But I would tolerate this for an attempt to sing without music…….
Keep it up
I second shashank. U are not conscious about loosing ur notes without the music…Go ahead and try the same thing with music… Even the expressions are nice in this song…

Comments about Radiant Gems Gold:
I don't normally write reviews, however, this product was so good I had to share my opinion. There were also no other reviews, which made me almost not purchase it, however, I'm so glad I did. This is by far one of the best toys I have ever used. It doesn't vibrate, but is so stimulating & feels like the real thing. The length & size are just right. I really like how the bottom of the shaft is designed. It fits right in the palm of your hand & allows you to grip it firmly for fast action. There was a strong rubber smell when I first opened it, however, after several washes, it is almost gone. You won't be disappointed in this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Directions • From the visitors center in the Needles District, follow the road signs to the campground. Then follow the signs to campground B. Drive past the restrooms and visitors kiosk. The trail head is at the end of campground B.
This is an epic day hike because of the distance and the reward. Druid Arch is unusual even by arch standards. The trail there is filled with the redrock scenery of southeast Utah. The trail is sometimes not well-marked. Pay attention to the cairns. About three miles into the hike, you'll come across an arch in the side of a rock face that's barely large enough to crawl through. About halfway to the arch, you'll arrive in a sandy wash with signs pointing to different trails. Follow the sign directing 3.3 miles south to Druid Arch. About a quarter of a mile before reaching the arch viewpoint, you'll reach a slickrock incline that will require you to scramble.

If you're a fan of pork, you can't beat pork tenderloin as a go-to for a quick meal. Having pork tenderloins stashed away in the freezer means you can whip up a meal quickly, usually with little effort.
What I like best about pork tenderloin (besides a good sale price) is that if you buy them prepackaged, most contain two tenderloins. If they are not frozen, remove the tenderloins from the package and freeze separately. Well-wrapped pork tenderloin keeps about nine months in the freezer.
Most pork tenderloins typically weigh a pound or more. By freezing them separately you can take out only what you need. Another reason to like pork tenderloin is that it's considered one of the leaner cuts of pork. A 3-ounce serving of roasted pork tenderloin has 120 calories and 3 grams of fat, according to the National Pork Board.
After eating at a popular Chinese bistro chain, I had a craving for lettuce wraps. And I knew I had frozen pork tenderloin tucked away in the Free Press Test Kitchen freezer.
Today's recipe is adapted from the May 2013 issue of Cook's Country magazine. Unlike the chain's crunchy lettuce wraps, which use chilled iceberg lettuce, these use Bibb lettuce. I find using the softer lettuce makes the wraps easier to hold. For crunch, I topped them with a slaw made from purchased broccoli-slaw mix and the same sauce I used for the wraps. The slaw is totally optional, but Free Press staffers thought it was a good addition.
Instead of buying ground pork, I ground the tenderloin. The key is to make sure the meat is super chilled. Better yet, it can be barely frozen.
To grind meat without a meat grinder, use a food processor. Cut the chilled tenderloin into chunks and pulse it several times in the food processor. Don't pulse too many times or the meat will clump together.
Or you can dice it by slicing the well-chilled meat into 1/4-inch-thick medallions. Stack medallions, slice into strips and then dice.
Meat — and poultry too — that is still somewhat frozen is easier to process or dice. When the meat is too warm, it tends to mush together instead of chopping evenly in the food processor. The meat should be just solid enough for you to easily cut through it with a sharp knife.
Today's recipe can be adapted to your tastes and spice level. You also can use ground chicken or turkey. Look for Sambal Oelek, an Asian-style chili paste condiment made with ground chiles, salt and vinegar, in the ethnic section of most grocery stores. You only need a small amount for this recipe, but it will keep at least six months in the refrigerator. You can substitute one minced clove of garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for the Sambal Oelek.
Spicy Asian Lettuce Wraps

Student- Athlete's…are they players or employees? That is the BIG question many local universities are now asking since the State Employee Association of North Carolina opened its membership to student athletes on May 16th.
S.E.A.N.C's Director, Toni Davis, she said their new membership stems from labor officials allowing football players at Northwestern to create the nation's first union of college athletes. Now, S.E.A.N.C what's to be the first organization in North Carolina to welcome student-athletes.
Their membership is open to all student-athletes who are on scholarships, and attend 1 of the 17 public campuses of North Carolina. Once registered student-athletes will get the same benefits as any other state employee. However, Toni said the main benefit they are providing is their advocacy services to the student-athletes.
"This is their chance to make sure they are heard. The more voices we have the stronger we are."
UNCW's Athletic Department was not ready to make a statement on student-athletes becoming state employee's; however we spoke to several local fans who told us their opinions.
"When you are in college and you are playing a sport all year you don't have time to have a real job, not even in the off season," said Willard Grantius, a fan fanatic. "So anything to help you with costs is a good thing."
However, Kevin Terry felt differently about the unions' newest membership.
"How can you have firefighters and police officers who are risking their lives everyday receiving the benefits?" questions Kevin. "Then student-athletes who are choosing to play sports receive the same benefits? That's not right. That's not the same thing."
We asked Toni how they plan to handle some of these questions and she replied,
"Let's not put the horse before the cart."
She made sure to explain this membership is currently available to the student-athletes, but they still are in the early stages of planning and developing the finer details.

Sometimes you have to consider safety outside the race track. December 7, 1957, is a day that lives in custom-car infamy, as a fire swept through George Barris' Atlantic Avenue shop in Lynwood, California. The fire consumed most of the building, taking this '41 Ford as one of its 14 victims. The fire stopped at the famous Ala Kart, twice an AMBR winner. Dean Jeffries was across the street in a diner and said he saw telephone wires sparking from high winds. He ran back to the shop and was able to save a couple of cars.

Why should a developing country surrender its power to create money by adopting an international currency as its own? This comprehensive book explores the currency problems that developing countries face and offers sound, practical advice for policymakers on how to deal with them. Manuel Hinds, who has extensive experience in real-world economic policy-making, challenges the myths that surround domestic currencies and shows the clear rationality for dollarization or the use of a standard international currency. The book opens with an entertaining story of the Devil who, through a series of common macroeconomic manoeuvres, coaches the President of a mythical country into financial ruin and purchases its entire assets for $1.50. The path this ruler took is one taken by several developing countries and has resulted in financial crises and political upheaval. Hinds goes on to introduce new ways of thinking about financial systems and monetary behavior in Third World countries. He provides an essential, incisive guide not only to making currency decisions but also to executing them successfully.
Manuel Hinds is a consultant to international institutions and governments on issues related to the financial system. He was chief advisor to the president of El Salvador on the dollarization of the country in 2000-2001, and before that served as minister of finance in El Salvador and as a staff member of, and then consultant to, the World Bank.
"Dollarization as a policy idea is much more discussed than tested. Manuel Hinds has helped put it to the test in El Salvador with some impressive results. This book makes a powerful argument: It should be read by all who wish to act or opine on the critical question of whether one country, one currency is right for the twenty-first century."--Lawrence Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and president of Harvard University

|Involuntary Resettlement
|Indigenous Peoples
|Environmental Aspects
An environmental impact assessment was undertaken and the summary was circulated to the Board on 29 March 2005. Semi-annual environmental monitoring reports are required during the Project implementation.
|Involuntary Resettlement
According to the Summary Resettlement Plan, the Project will temporarily occupy 173 ha of state and collective land, affecting 1,183 urban and rural households (4,663 people). Only 8 residential houses with 33 people need to be relocated. Detailed Resettlement Plan was prepared for each subproject. National Research Center for Resettlement of Hohai University has been engaged for independent monitoring and evaluation during Project implementation.
|Indigenous Peoples
Consultations with stakeholders, including various levels governments, implementing agencies, and beneficiaries were undertaken.

|During Project Implementation
Consultations with stakeholders, including various levels governments, implementing agencies, and beneficiaries were undertaken.
|The development objective of the Henan provincial government (HPG) for the sector is to enhance (i) quality of life of the rapidly increasing urban population in the Hai River Basin (HRB), and (ii) economic competitiveness to sustain economic growth in key municipalities, by alleviating degradation of water resources and improving the quality of the urban environment. To meet this objective, the Project is designed to increase the collection and treatment of wastewater, and to reduce reliance on abstraction of groundwater from shallow wells (most of which are polluted by wastewater) in the project cities through physical investment, and institutional and financial reforms. The Project will support water quality improvement in several canal and river systems in the project cities through physical investment and improved water management. In addition, the Project will help strengthen water resource protection in the HRB through improved and integrated planning, water quality monitoring, and environmental management. The Project has identified 19 physical investment subprojects (8 representative and 11 candidate subprojects) to provide improved wastewater collection and treatment, and water supplies in the 15 project cities. The Project also identified the need for capacity building and training for the project institutions, including county water utility companies. The Project adopts a sector loan approach and will support an area and time slice of the Government?s Henan Hai River Basin Plan, which serves as a sector development plan for the HRB.
|To be determined during fact-finding. The water resource and availability varies significantly across regions and by season, and is one of the biggest challenges facing the PRC. Demand for water is rising with increasing urbanization; more than half of the population will live in cities by 2030. Despite the water shortage, only 34% of urban wastewater is treated. More investment is needed to supply clean drinking water and to treat wastewater and sewerage. Supporting projects for urban wastewater, sewage treatment, water supply, and water resources management is a priority of ADB's Operational Country Strategy in the PRC. Henan is the second largest polluting province in the Hai River basin next to Hebei. The main rivers in the Hai River basin in Henan flow into Bohai Bay through Hebei and Tianjin City. Upstream pollution control is essential to achieve the water quality targets of downstream rivers and lakes. This project will be the third ADB intervention in the Hai River basin, following the Hebei and Tianjin projects. The proposed Project will be pro-poor through its environmental protection, support of economic growth, and provisions to ensure access to sanitation for the poor. Environmental improvement is qualitatively linked to poverty reduction. The Project is listed in ADB's CSPU (2003-2005).
|Improved urban environment and public health of the residents in the southern part of the Hai River Basin.
|Description of Outcome
Strengthened water supply and wastewater services in 15 project cities.
|Progress Towards Outcome
The project has improved the environment and public health and safety in the project counties and provide improved wastewater for the service areas according to the implementing agencies report. The 17 subprojects have passed through the environment management completion review and acceptance by municipality environment authorities.
|Description of Project Outputs
1. Increased collection and treatment of urban wastewater in the project cities. 2. Adequate urban water supplies (in terms of quantity and quality) for project cities. 3. Reformed and integrated water and wastewater utilities. 4. An effective WWTP operating regime introduced. 5. Improved public awareness of health and environment.
|Status of Implementation Progress (Outputs, Activities, and Issues)
The project has made significant progress on construction of wastewater and water supply facilities. Under 14 WWTP subprojects, a wastewater treatment capacity of 540,500 m3 per day has been built up. With the Puyang wastewater management subproject, wastewater collection systems with a capacity of 50,000 m3 per day have been built up. Thus, a total capacity of 590,500 m3 per day, or 100.1% of the proposed capacity for wastewater treatment as per the appraisal has been completed. Associated intercepting/trunk sewers with a total length of 716.5 kilometers (km), or 107% of the planned have been completed. A water supply capacity of 150,000 m3/day has been developed. A total of 251 km, or 109% of the planned water supply pipelines have been constructed. The overall capacity of wastewater management and water supply will be achieved with the completion of remaining works. The wastewater and water supply facilities currently serve for over 1.5 million people in the project areas. Wastewater Management Component. This component includes 15 wastewater subprojects, of which 14 subprojects involve construction of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and sewer networks and one subproject (i.e. Puyang wastewater subproject) involves only wastewater collection systems. All WWTPs have been completed with the domestic acceptance approval and been in commission. Water Supply Component. The component includes four subprojects involving construction of water supply plants (WSPs) and water pipelines. All WSPs are in full operation. Institutional Capacity-Building Component. All WWTP and WSP companies have developed operational procedures. Over 80% of staff have achieved necessary skill level through various training and capacity building activities. The HFD and implementing agencies have undertaken trainings on technical and engineering management and project administration effectively.

|Consulting Services
Twenty eight person-months of international and 300 person-months of domestic consulting services are required, with expertise in international competitive bidding and international shopping procedures, including international specifications, bid evaluation, contracts, quality control, and project performance management systems. The consultants provide guidance and training for capacity building to ensure that (i) the IAs in the project cities are able to function as effective project management units; (ii) appropriate institutional, managerial, financial, and operational arrangements are in place to enhance operational effectiveness, management efficiency, and financial sustainability; (iii) the water supply/wastewater companies become effective operating companies upon completion of implementation; and (iv) social, resettlement, and environmental impacts are monitored and mitigated. Consultants were recruited in accordance with ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants and other arrangements satisfactory to ADB on the engagement of domestic consultants. Detailed design engineering and construction supervision is carried out by qualified local design institutes recruited by the project cities with local counterpart financing.
ADB-financed civil works, equipment and materials are procured in accordance with ADB's Guidelines for Procurement. Major contracts for equipment and materials are tendered through international competitive bidding or international shopping procedures, depending on the contract amount. Civil works contracts are procured through local competitive bidding.
