MARY HAUSSER ET AL., APPELLANTS, v. SALVATORE GIUNTA, RESPONDENT.
88 N.Y.2d 449, 669 N.E.2d 470, 646 N.Y.S.2d 490 (1996).
May 2, 1996
2 No. 108[1996 NY Int. 103]
Decided May 2, 1996
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the New York Reports.
Jerome Turner, for Appellants.
L. Kevin Sheridan, for Respondent.
The issue presented by this personal injury action is whether Municipal Home Rule Law § 11(j) renders invalid section 256 of the City of Long Beach Code, which makes a landowner with property abutting city sidewalks liable for injuries caused by defects in the sidewalk. We conclude that Long Beach Code § 256 is not invalidated by the Municipal Home Rule Law and reverse the order of the Appellate Division.
Appellants Mary and Henry Hausser live next door to respondent Salvatore Giunta in the City of Long Beach. Portions of a city sidewalk abut the property in front of both houses. In 1989, appellants commenced this action for personal injury against respondents Salvatore and Theresa[n 1] Giunta seeking to recover for injuries appellant Mary Hausser sustained after she tripped over a broken, cracked or depressed portion of the sidewalk abutting the front of respondent's property.[n 2] Appellant sustained serious injuries to her knee which required surgery. By notice of motion dated February 1, 1993, respondent moved for summary judgment, arguing that under Rooney v City of Long Beach (42 AD2d 34), section 11(1)(j) of the Municipal Home Rule Law invalidated section 256 of the City Code. By notice of motion dated March 31, 1993, appellants opposed respondent's motion, and cross-moved for summary judgment.[n 3]
Supreme Court granted respondent's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint, finding that respondent neither created the defect nor caused the defective condition due to special use, and respondent was not clothed with liability by a statute or ordinance. The court concluded that the facts of this case were controlled by Rooney v City of Long Beach (42 AD2d 34, appeal dismissed 33 NY2d 897). The Appellate Division affirmed, finding that the City of Long Beach Code § 256 was invalidated by the 1960 adoption of Municipal Home Rule Law § 11(1)(j).
Under the powers granted within section 11(1) of the former City Home Rule Law (which granted power to local governments to adopt local laws and charters), the City of Long Beach, in 1931, adopted section 256 of the City of Long Beach Charter, transferring liability from the municipality to abutting landowners and clothing landowners with liability for injuries caused by defective sidewalks. It provides:
The owner or occupant of lands fronting or abutting on any street, highway, traveled road, public lane, alley or square, shall make, maintain and repair the sidewalk adjoining his lands and shall keep such sidewalk and the gutter free and clear of and from snow, ice and all other obstructions. Such owner or occupant and each of them, shall be liable for any injury or damage by reason of omission, failure or negligence to make, maintain or repair such sidewalk.Section 11(1) of the former City Home Rule Law was amended in 1960 to prohibit municipalities from transferring liability to property owners. The amendment provided that "no city shall have the power to adopt local laws transferring to abutting property owners its liability for failure to maintain its sidewalks and gutters in a reasonably safe condition" (L 1960, ch 1080). The effect of this amendment was to eliminate the powers of cities to adopt local laws, similar to Long Beach City Code § 256, transferring its liability to abutting property owners.
In 1963, the Legislature repealed the City Home Rule Law. Within the same year, the Legislature amended the Municipal Home Rule Law (L 1963, ch 843) which was enacted in 1960, to replace the repealed statute. The 1960 amendment to the former City Home Rule Law, prohibiting cities from transferring liability to abutting property owners for failure to maintain sidewalks, was not incorporated into the amended Municipal Home Rule Law. Section 11(1)(j) of the Municipal Home Rule Law provides:
1. Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, the legislative body shall not be deemed authorized by this chapter to adopt a local law which supersedes a state statute, if such local law:Generally, liability for injuries sustained as a result of negligent maintenance of or the existence of dangerous and defective conditions to public sidewalks is placed on the municipality and not the abutting landowner (City of Rochester v Campbell, 123 NY 405; Roark v Hunting, 24 NY2d 470, 475). There are, however, circumstances under which this general rule is inapplicable and the abutting landowner will be held liable. Liability to abutting landowners will generally be imposed where the sidewalk was constructed in a special manner for the benefit of the abutting owner (Clifford v Dam, 81 NY 52), where the abutting owner affirmatively caused the defect (Colson v Wood Realty Co., 39 AD2d 511, 512), where the abutting landowner negligently constructed or repaired the sidewalk (id.) and where a local ordinance or statute specifically charges an abutting landowner with a duty to maintain and repair the sidewalks and imposes liability for injuries resulting from the breach of that duty (Willis v Parker, 225 NY 159).* * * *
j. In the case of a city, transfers to abutting property owners its liability for failure to maintain its sidewalks and gutters in a reasonably safe condition. (emphasis added).
In Rooney v City of Long Beach, supra, the Appellate Division concluded that Municipal Home Rule Law § 11(1)(j) invalidated section 256 of the Long Beach City Code and precluded a city from transferring its liability to abutting landowners. Appellant Rooney sustained injuries when she tripped over a curb stop (water valve) which was 2 1/2 inches above the sidewalk level. Rooney sued the owner of the property abutting the sidewalk, the City of Long Beach and the adjacent property owner who benefitted from the curb stop. The City was found liable because it created the defective condition, either directly, or indirectly through an independent contractor. The adjacent property owner was found liable because he benefited from the curb stop. The abutting property owner, however, was not found liable because she did not create the condition, nor did she benefit from the water valve.
The court stated that the 1960 amendment to the City Home Rule Law (L 1960, ch 1080), which prohibited cities from transferring liability to abutting property owners for failure to maintain sidewalks, invalidated section 256 of the City's charter purporting to transfer such liability to abutting property owners. The court further stated that the provisions of the amended City Home Rule Law were contained in the new Municipal Home Rule Law § 11(1)(j) and were designed "to announce a new public policy of this State which is diametrically opposed to such transfers of liability" (42 AD2d at 39). Thus, the court concluded that although the Municipal Home Rule Law "is couched only in terms of conflict with statutory law, * * * the fact that the Legislature may have thought in 1964 that the source of this doctrine was statutory does not militate against our giving it an interpretation which saves it from being meaningless" (id. at 38). Therefore, according to the Rooney court, any conflicting local law was superseded by the State law.
The court in Rooney misinterpreted the effect of section 11 of the Municipal Home Rule Law. Section 11 of the Municipal Home Rule Law plainly restricts the adoption of local laws which would supersede State statute. On its face, section 11(1)(j) does not expressly prohibit localities from enacting statutes which transfer liability to property owners for injuries caused by defective sidewalks unless a contrary state statute exists. Further, the local statute here, section 256 of the Long Beach City Code, does not supersede a State statute. No other state statute, aside from Municipal Home Rule Law § 11(1)(j), is involved in this action and Municipal Home Rule Law § 11(1)(j) does not prohibit the transfer of a locality's liability to abutting property owners for injuries sustained due to defective sidewalks.
Accordingly, the order of the Appellate Division should be reversed, with costs, and respondent's motion for summary judgment denied.
1. Theresa Giunta died prior to commencement of the instant lawsuit and is not a party hereto.[return to text]
2. Appellant Mary Hausser seeks to recover for personal injury and loss of earnings and Henry Hausser seeks to recover loss of companionship and consortium.[return to text]
3. Appellants maintain that respondent had notice of the hazardous condition and was negligent in failing to maintain and repair that portion of the sidewalk abutting his property. Appellants claim that they offered to repair the broken sidewalk prior to the incident but respondent declined the offer. Respondent denies that appellants ever offered to repair the sidewalk.[return to text]
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Order reversed, with costs, and defendant-respondent's motion for summary judgment denied. Opinion by Judge Smith. Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Simons, Titone, Bellacosa, Levine and Ciparick concur.

Seven Steps For A Better Image
Use these techniques to get the most out of even the trickiest exposures
Constructed in a remote area of Peru in the 15th century, the lost city of Machu Picchu, the grandest of all Inca sites, is truly one of the photographic wonders of the world. Adobe Photoshop and its little sister, Adobe Photoshop Elements, can be considered wonders of the photographic world, too—wonders for creative photographers who want to get the most out of their images. In fact, much like Hiram Bingham, who discovered the famous lost city, photographers can discover and recover seemingly lost details in their images.
Different Photoshop and Photoshop Elements users take different paths on their journeys to discovering what lies unrevealed in an image. I'll share with you the path I took, one of many available, to create the opening image of Machu Picchu for this article, which I took on a workshop I was leading for International Expeditions. While I used Adobe Photoshop CS3 here, you can use Photoshop Elements to create the same effect.
Before we get going, you'll notice that this opening image, unlike the other images in this article, has a thin black line around the edges of the frame. When a picture includes white or light areas around the edges, as does this image, I often add a hairline border to "hold" the image together so that it doesn't bleed onto the page. The effect is easy to create. Go to Select > All and then to Edit > Stroke. Choose your color and width, click OK and you're all set.
Ready? Let's get processing!
Step 1. Shoot RAW Files
First and foremost, shoot RAW files. RAW files have greater postprocessing flexibility than JPEG files. That means that even if your exposure is a bit under or over the "correct" exposure, you can still develop a good exposure in the digital darkroom. This is especially important when shooting a scene with bright highlights (like the clouds at the top left of my shot) and the relatively dark areas (like the remains of the buildings in the shadows of the mountains).
What's more, as is illustrated in the next step, with RAW files, you can pull out more from the shadow areas and rescue more highlights in Adobe Camera Raw than you can with JPEG files. JPEG files toss away data as soon as you save them, as part of the compression process.
Step 2. Double-Process An Image
Double-processing an image means opening a RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw and processing it once for the highlight areas, then reopening it and processing it once for the shadow areas. The final step in double-processing is when you open and combine both images in Photoshop.
Here you see my first processed image. I processed it for the shadow (darker) area, leaving the Exposure slider in Adobe Camera Raw at the default setting so that mountain areas were correctly exposed. That resulted in the sky on the top left of the image being completely washed out.
With the first processed image opened in Photoshop on my monitor, I reopened my original RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw. I greatly reduced the exposure (by moving the Exposure slider all the way to the left), which revealed those nice clouds. However, as you can see, the mountain areas are now many stops too dark.
Next, I opened the second processed image in Photoshop so that I had both processed images on my monitor.

BERLIN, N.H. — The people inside a smoke-stained bingo hall are desperate for jobs. And Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential contender standing before them, says his business experience will help him save the nation's economy.
"What America needs and what I know have come together," says Romney. "I spent my life in business — 25 years in business."
The next day, Texas Gov. Rick Perry offers a different message to business leaders at the Bedford Village Inn.
"My actions as governor are helping create jobs in this country," says Perry, who spent the last decade as Texas' chief executive.
This intensifying debate between the two over public- and private-sector credentials will help define a GOP nomination fight focused squarely on the economy. The next president — whether it's President Barack Obama or any number of Republicans trying to unseat him — will be saddled with high unemployment and asked to draw upon his or her job-creation skills on Day One.
Friday's report was a fresh reminder of the troubled economy. The unemployment rate was stuck at 9.1 percent as employers stopped adding jobs in August.
But while this public sector vs. private sector debate may dominate the political posturing between Romney and Perry in the months ahead, history suggests that a president's work resume is overrated, especially after the candidate moves into the White House.
After all, peanut farmer and regular Republican punching bag Jimmy Carter, who lost his re-election bid in 1980 in the midst of an economic recession, had more business experience than conservative hero Ronald Reagan, a longtime actor and former California governor who served two terms in the White House.
Romney and Perry, who lead the field in national polls, offer voters very different resumes.
A one-term Massachusetts governor, Romney spent a quarter century in the business world, where he founded the private equity firm Bain Capital. Like Perry's jobs record, Romney's work history raises a host of questions about his role in job creation. Bain controlled some companies that expanded businesses and added staff, while others closed plants, cut hundreds of jobs and faced bankruptcy.
Still, Romney would bring the most business experience to the White House since Herbert Hoover, according to Princeton University presidential scholar Fred Greenstein. Hoover, of course, was a former mining executive who oversaw the onset of the Great Depression.
Other presidents with significant business backgrounds also struggled to find economic success once inside the Oval Office.
Both Bush presidents worked for years in the oil industry, which puts them in a class with Hoover as the presidents with the most private-sector experience, according to Barbara Perry, a senior fellow at the University of Virginia's Miller Center. She pointed out that George H. W. Bush struggled with the nation's economy while George W. Bush and Hoover "presided over crushing economic times."
That irony has not stopped some candidates from trying to fluff their resumes to highlight private-sector work as they try to prove they understand the economy because they've worked in it.
At nearly every campaign stop, Perry cites statistics showing that Texas is responsible for 40 percent of the jobs created in America since 2009. Those numbers include many factors out of Perry's control, including Texas' booming oil industry that benefits from high gas prices and the economic benefit associated with military spending there.
He also highlights his limited time in the business world.

Gionee, one of the lesser-known brands in India, had recently launched a quad-core Android smartphone, the Dream D1. It featured an HD AMOLED and is a good value for the price and build quality it offers. This time, the manufacturer has launched another smartphone with almost similar features. The Elife E3 was in our hands for quite a while and we put it under the scanner. Here is what we have to say about it. Crisp, Vibrant and clear 4.5-inch HD IPS display Design and build The E3 is well designed from all aspects. With a rubberised matte finished exterior, the E3 has a very strong and rugged frame. All the hardware is enclosed well within the 7.9 mm chassis. The dark front panel has a 4.7-inch display with a front-facing camera and three capacitive backlit buttons for Menu, Home and Back. The power and volume buttons are placed on the right side while the micro USB interface and the earphone jack is placed on the top. The other two sides are completely blank. The rear panel is made of a flexible polycarbonate plastic and fits snugly on the chassis. The rear side sports the camera with an LED flash and a speaker grille on the bottom end. The entire phone weighs around 125.5 grams and the slim form-factor together with the rubberised finish makes the phone very comfortable to hold and operate. 8MP rear camera with LED flash; rear panel has a rubberised matte finish. Availing a screen protector and a rear protection case for the phone would definitely be difficult for now, as this manufacturer is new in the market. Keeping this in mind, Gionee has bundled along a screen protector and a transparent and flexible protective shell. The shell fits very snugly and feels as part of the phone itself. Though the shell is not scratch resistant, it will definitely keep the phone's brightly coloured rear panel safe from being scratched and tarnished. We found the shell fitting so perfectly that there is a slight issue while removing it—it tends to come off along with the rear panel. Though this is not a matter of concern, detaching the shell from the phone takes a bit of effort. Also, if you want another shell, you might have to write to the manufacturer for an additional piece. Top features the micro USB interface and headphone jack Volume and power on the right side of the phone Along with the phone is packed a good looking pair of earphones matching the phone's colour. Though the build quality of the flat cabled in-ear headset is good, there is a slight lack of proper finishing touches. Also bundled is the charger, user manual and a micro USB cable. Dual SIM, 1800 mAh battery, free transparent protective shell Features The Gionee Elife E3 features almost identical specs of the Dream D2 except for a few differences. The handset is a dual-SIM Android smartphone with support for GSM and WCDMA SIM modules. While one SIM slot is for a regular mini SIM module, the other SIM slot supports the micro SIM module. This is beneficial for those who have an existing mini or micro SIM as they would not have to cut or exchange the existing ones. The E3 features a quad-core Cortex A7 processor clocked at 1.2GHz with 1GB of RAM. The graphics processor used here is the PowerVR SGX544. The internal storage is a good 16GB as compared to the Dream D1, which featured just 4GB. The display on this one is a 4.5-inch HD IPS panel with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The rear camera is 8MP with an LED flash and the front camera is 2MP. Connectivity options include the standard 3G, Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth. The operating system on the E3 is Android Jelly Bean v4.2. Lastly, the internal battery fuelling the smartphone is a lower 1800 mAh as opposed to the 2100 mAh one used in the D1. The handset we received was the pink variant, while other colour options available are white, black, yellow and blue. Smooth custom UI and launcher similar to MIUI User interface and performance Gionee has been using a custom user interface and launcher on the E3 just like the D1. The UI gives you the feel of the famous MIUI touch with a few changes here and there. The UI is smooth and swift with no lags or jitters at any given time. The user interface can be completely themed as per your preference and there are six free themes on the system at your disposal. Sadly, there are no online themes for download, nor can you customise your own for now. The themes are very similar to the MIUI counterpart. If you don't like the themes, you would have to use your own launcher. System info, launcher can be customised with themes On the performance front, we did our usual benchmarking using a few apps. AnTuTu scored 13,075, Quadrant scored 4,057 and Nenamark2 reported 43.1 fps in their tests. Linpack averaged at 36.7 MFLOPS and 123.6 MFLOPS in the single-thread and multi-thread tests respectively. Based on the results, we found the Elife E3 performing a tad better than the Dream D1 and the Xolo Q700. Desktop can also be customised |

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There's a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they're buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn't fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.
7 - 8
Product with this rating is highly recommended because it's priced sensibly, has a good set of features and performs well.
9 - 10
Exceptionally excellent product with features and performance unlike any we've seen in the past. A must-have for everyone!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Message to convention planners: Three days are enough.
Both major parties packed their presidential nominating conventions into 72 hours, one day short of the traditional four-day celebration — prompting few complaints from either delegates or the viewing public.
Republicans scrapped the first day of their convention in Tampa, Fla., because of Hurricane Isaac. Democrats, mindful of Labor Day and eager to promote a cost-conscious image, kept their gathering to three days by design.
So will 2012 mark the end of the old-fashioned blowouts the two political parties host every four years? After all, the actual business of the convention — adopting a platform and nominating a presidential ticket — could be completed in a few hours.
Some political heavyweights say the answer should be yes.
"Given as much news as people get today and the way they get their news, I'm not sure having a four-day convention in the future makes a lot of sense," said House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, who was the presiding officer for the GOP event.
He also noted that modern conventions are expensive, costing tens of millions of dollars to produce, and create few waves.
While he's at it, Boehner said the party platform should also be condensed. "If it were up to me, the platform would be on one sheet of paper," he said. The Republican Party platform came in at more than 50 pages.
Conventions, once used to pick presidential, or at least vice presidential candidates, sometimes in smoke-filled rooms, are now mostly a made-for-TV production, with little real business conducted.
While lobbyists host fancy parties and politicians raise money, the public aspect of the event is confined to a single hour a night on network TV, with much of that devoted to commentary rather than focused on the podium. Most of the work on party platforms and other issues happens off-camera.
Yet with elaborate sets and staging, along with enhanced, post-9/11 security, even the scaled-back conventions are not cheap. Democratic and Republican officials say their conventions cost nearly $120 million apiece.
So is it worth it?
Brad Woodhouse, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, said the answer unquestionably is yes. Even in their modern form, conventions are too important to be confined to two days, he said.
"I think it would be really hard for us to draw the narrative, or tell the story (of the presidential candidates) shorter than three days," Woodhouse said.
"Conventions should be an event," he added, with enough time for delegates who have traveled thousands of miles to get a "respite," while helping the parties launch the fall campaign.
Despite that, Woodhouse said Democrats gathered in Charlotte this week were able to get their message out in three days — and so were Republicans a week earlier in Tampa.
"They lost a night of cable coverage," he said of the GOP decision to cancel the convention's first day. "But the shorter event "did not appreciably diminish their ability to get their message out."
Kirsten Kukowski, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said party leaders are taking Boehner's concerns to heart. A rules committee in Tampa set up an informal panel to look into convention planning — everything from timing to the duration to how speakers are selected, she said.
"There's going to be a discussion," she said, declining to say whether a three- or four-day event is likely in 2016. "It's something we'll look into after this election is over."

As if you didn't see this coming, going to the gym has become a stale prospect that quitting suddenly comes to your mind. You definitely see the changes the rigorous sessions at the gym have brought on you, but still the feeling of emptiness lingers. Was it boredom? Definitely, sir!
Here are 4 tips to rekindle your passion of going to the gym.
Change your Playlist
9 out of 10 gym members have iPods dangling in their sweaty little ears. Sadly, 9 out of 10 have last updated their playlist last December (that's 2012). Whether you like lifting weights with Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, or Celine Dion in the background, it's time to give up them up; update your playlist and see your new rhythm giving life to your every day workout routine.
Suggested new album:
David Guetta – Nothing but the Beat
Why This?
Juicy beats, impeccable production, and with various artists as guests, this compillation-esque disc will surely pump those lazy legs to work.
Standout Tracks: Without You – with Usher, Repeat – with Jessie J
Change your Workout
Mondays are for chest, Wednesdays for Legs, Fridays for Biceps. Saturdays are for laundry.
If you've been working out for more than 6 months, then it's time to try something new, exciting. Why don't you try one of these for a change:
Full-body workout
Mixing all your workouts to target all muscle groups per training, the good thing about it is even if you missed Friday's schedule, you'd still sleep sound knowing you've had a full-body workout on Wednesday. No need to panic, big boy.
H.I.T. (High Intensity Training)
This is not for the faint-hearted. To put it bluntly, you'll be having less rests and more bursts of intensity with this type of workout. Panting is rude. You'll know you're not ready for it when your gym instructor says, "excuse me?" with a defiant look at you when you asked him if he could tailor a HIT program for you. When you get a nod, it means you're ready.
Change your Schedule
MWF is like the ABC of fitness schedule. Your system gets too accustomed with MWF that eventually you'll start dreading these days for your workout. Simple solution would be changing it up, genius. Try T-Th-S for a change. It's a nice change working out on Saturdays, especially on mornings.
Talk to People
Talking to people and making friends brings fun and motivation. Well, unless you're a psycho or Aleck Baldwin. Do this in the gym and you'll reap the rewards of a healthy atmosphere.
If you've been using your earphones to ward off strangers in the gym, it's time to minimize their use. Do small talks like the latest in NBA, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Kim Kardashian. Don't go overboard with politics, religion, or Obamacare. Most people are not comfortable with these.

Celine Dion
Celine Dion
Rising from humble beginnings in the small town of Charlemagne, Quebec, Celine Dion became one of the biggest international stars in pop music history, selling more than 100 million albums worldwide. The youngest in Adhemar and Therese Dion's family of 14 children, Dion grew up in an environment full of the inherent chaos and material austerity that comes with such a large working-class family. However, the Dion household was also one filled with love for children and music, and her parents and siblings were important figures in the early development of her singing career. Celine began singing in her parents' piano bar when she was just five years old. By the age of 12 she had written one of her first songs, "Ce N'etait Qu'un R�ve" ("It Was Only a Dream"), which she recorded with the help of her mother and brother and shipped off to a manager named Ren� Ang�lil, whose name they found on the back of an album by Ginette Reno, a popular Francophone singer. After weeks with no response from Ang�lil, Celine's brother Michel phoned him and said, "I know you haven't listened to the tape, because if you had, you would've called right away." Ang�lil dug up the tape and called the family back the same day to set up a meeting with Celine. When the 12-year-old performed in his office in Montreal, Ang�lil cried and set in motion the process of making her a Qu�b�cois, and later, an international, star. He mortgaged his house to pay for her first two albums, producing a local number one single. In 1983 she became the first Canadian to have a gold record in France and she won a gold medal at the Yamaha songwriting competition in Japan. Her worldwide reputation was in the making, but success in the United States was not yet forthcoming.

⚓Heyo. My name is Anna Paige Padilla and I still like to call myself a rower, even though I tore my Glenoid Labrum during Head of the Hooch 2012. I was told if I ever row again I will need surgery and even then I will never have proper use of my shoulder again. However, I am convinced I'm Sea Biscuit and that you'll see me in a boat Fall 2013 at College of Charleston in South Carolina.
So yeah. I'm focusing on losing weight at the moment for my possible coxing career. I was a midget rower at 5' 4" but I like to think I made up for it with heart and determination. I am (oh man… was) one of three Varsity Captains on Dallas United Crew and even though I'm not in a boat anymore… rowing is my life.
Besides rowing, things that make me happy are: lame puns, my cats Harmony (I couldn't say Hermione when I was younger) and Mars, Harry Potter, Sherlock, The Office, rugby, the UK (but more specifically England) and books. (PS IF YOU HAVE A GOOD BOOK I SHOULD READ INBOX ME THE TITLE PLEASE) Hmm… what else. My oar's name was Rupert, I'm exceptionally awkward, and I wrote a book about assassins. ⚓

Maisy's favorite past-time is eating. She happily gobs down her daily vitamins and loves to cuddle. Unfortunatley, she thinks she belongs on your lap!
Had to buy a car that she can get in and out of and take out a bank loan in order to keep her fed.
Wouldn't trade her for the world!

But even after all the success and respect he's earned, people still get his name wrong, a phenomenon he described years ago in "Diamonds From Sierra Leone": "I'm Kanye, but some of my plaques, they still say 'Kayne.'"

FULTON, Ill. —
City officials are preparing to position the community for growth and economic development as the federal prison near Thomson, Ill., comes to fruition.
Aldermen approved an economic development consulting agreement with Terry Rumery of Rumery & Associates to measure the growth for the community as the new facility opens.
"Something like this puts us in a better position," City Administrator Randy Balk said. "You want to be as prepared as possible for an opportunity like this."
The goal of the assessment is to determine how the city is situated to best position itself for the opening of the prison in Thomson. City officials agreed to pay the company $1,500 when the agreement was made effective Jan. 22 and $2,000 upon completion for a total of $3,500.
Located out of Chillicothe, Mo., Rumery has firsthand experience living in an area that already has a federal prison. He also has a proven track record in similar prospects through his work at the Governor's office and previous experience working with smaller communities, like Fulton, experiencing economic growth, according to Balk.
"We're hoping this assessment gives our businesses more assurance and keeps us on track," Balk said. "This will give us the momentum we need to move forward."
Rumery will present the results of the assessment at a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at City Hall.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Arnold Schwarzenegger is confirming that he had a "hot affair" with actress Brigitte Nielsen at a time he and Maria Shriver were dating and already living together.
RELATED: Notorious Cheating Scandals
Schwarzenegger and Nielsen co-starred in the 1985 film "Red Sonja." Nielsen wrote in a memoir published last year that she and Schwarzenegger had an "outrageous affair" while making the movie and that she did not know until later that he was involved with Shriver.
RELATED: Aging Action Stars: Hot or Not
In his memoir "Total Recall," coming out Monday, Schwarzenegger writes that he and Nielsen did indeed have a "hot affair," but he knew it wouldn't last. In fact, their "fling" only made him realize that he wanted to marry Shriver.

Nielsen would soon marry Schwarzenegger's fellow action star, Sylvester Stallone.

Sim-man. I've followed you for years when i first discovered simgirls years ago, but most of my efforts were in vain since you took a break from game development. i was always saddened that there was so much work left to do from the beta. I recently saw you were back a few months ago and i played the new sim girls you released onto NG and i was AMAZED. You truly are the best sim date creater who's game i've had the pleasure of experiencing.
I'm about to start playing your full game now. I won't cheat this time (like the numerous times i have before to find all the possible endings). This game deserves that. You deserve that man. Thanks for the game, the years you put into it, and i think i speak for everyone when i saw YOUR THE BEST BRO!
For experienced SG players, the full game should be easy enough to play without cheat code. Good luck.
Thanks man. Though i wouldn't see it.
Yea things happen when you don't expect them.
Great game! especially the ending!!
which one ?
thank god finally i manage to get every hidden scenes, all endings and even every options available after 20 hours! few hours are wasted because i played the beta one so only ami ending available.
this game (including dna and all those beta versions) was with me since i am primary! this game is so amazing and it makes me addicted to it. THANKYOU simman
Thank you too. I hope you will also enjoy Simgirls 2 that I am currently working on.
OMG it's the first game i played with my old friend at the first time i visit his home, and the first adult game and the first hentai game i've ever played in my life,
back then i don't even know i can jerk off to these things.
5/5 i've enjoyed the game and recalled some old memories
i love everything in this game, so i just point out some mistakes in simgirls1, i wish you will make a better simgirls2
bad thing:
1. you gave too much hints in the game
2.save,load is too conveninent
3.random function is not quite random (if not mistaken it should be flash problem, i've experienced similar problems in other game)
4.if played correctly, you just wait for the game to pass in the last half of the game.
5.i dont know but the stragegy "upgrade everything to full stats before doing everything" seems to apply in EVERYTHING in this game, which makes model competition,fighting,swimming and exam too easy. Maybe it makes perfect sense but if it does, then the problem would be time, you've more than enough time to gain full stats of something before you MUST take part in the corresponding event, which makes the game involves zero risk management and it does make it less satisfying if you succeed.
I did simplify the game on purpose for more casual gamers to allow them to make mistakes and still be able to enjoy all the scenes. In the next game I will make a difficulty level. Btw I hate the random function in flash too. It doesn't seem very random to me.

Roll up a tube out of a magazine, paper, whatever. Blow through the tube onto the base of the fire, but here's the thing, don't put your mouth right up to the tube. Blow into it from about half a foot away and you'll get a much better stream of air through it. This will get air to the base of the fire. Poking doesn't do much good.
