It's probably fair to say that funnyman Fred Willard isn't laughing this morning.
CNN has confirmed that the "Anchorman" actor was arrested in Los Angeles Wednesday night for lewd conduct.
The Los Angeles Police Department was doing a routine inspection on Santa Monica Boulevard when officers came across Willard "engaged in lewd conduct" in an adult theater, a police spokesman confirmed to CNN.
He was arrested at about 8:45 pm and transported to the Hollywood division police department, police said. The 72-year-old "For Your Consideration" and "Best in Show" star has since been released.
Willard's counsel Paul Takakjian told CNN in a statement, "With all [due] respect to the individual officer, our belief [is] that Fred did nothing in any violation of any law. We will be working vigorously to clear his name in this matter."

Jennifer Grout came second on Saturday in the final show of the Arab world's equivalent of America's Got Talent.
By Rebecca Collard, Correspondent / December 8, 2013
In recent weeks, American singer Jennifer Grout, the first non-Arab to compete in a popular television show, Arabs' Got Talent, has acquired a fan base in the region. The novelty of a blonde-haired, Bostonian who croons classical songs in Arabic – yet barely speaks the language - has also gotten her attention at home from news media.

Gilbeys Spey-Royal Scotch Whisky '20s?
Hello everyone!
Lance here, living in upstate NY and a huge whisky fan. Recently, with all the flooding we have had my family had their entire basement flooded. So I went over to help them clean and found a old bottle of Scotch Whisky, I will attach some pictures of it. On the bottle it says "Federal Law Forbids **** Or Re Use Of This Bottle" and there is a tax stamp "U S Internal Revenue Tax Stamp" on the bottom, it says " W & A Gilbey" "London England" and there is "22" along with some other that I cannot make out. I know nothing about this, so any information anycould provide will be greatly appreciated. If better pics are needed, just let me know and I will snap some more. Many thanks in advance! Lance Robertson P.S. The Sticker you see in the last picture says "By Appointment Whicky Distillers to H. M. The King. W & A Gibey Ltd" Also, I have the original bag that this bottle came in, it is red with black strips (almost a checker pattern) and has the company name on the draw strings of the bag Last edited by AltrdPercption; 09-14-2011 at 06:26 PM.

Gilbey's Spey-Royal
Hi there! Thanks for the photos of your Gilbey's Spey-Royal. We will see if we can have it dated for you.
I don't have much information in regard to Spey-Royal in particular, however, Glen Spey contributes to the Spey-Royal blend. W & A Gilbey Ltd., of London purchased the "Glen Spey-Glenlivet Distillery" in 1887 (along with Strathmill and Knockando distilleries.) Glen Spey is a key contributor to J&B Rare (the most popular Scotch whisky in Europe and the number two Scotch in the world). Also, just to note, today the Glen Spey distillery is part of Diageo plc. More info here: http://whisky.com/brands/glen_spey_brand.html

Thanks for getting back to me Jo-Jo, if we could get it dated that would be amazing. Am dying to knw more about it, it just sits here staring at me lol. I am also curious as to what something like this is worth? Thanks again for your time and looking forward to more replies Lance Robertson Last edited by AltrdPercption; 09-14-2011 at 06:22 PM. |
Gilbey's Spey Royal from early 1950s
Hey there! We just received this information.... (you will also receive a copy sent to you personally). Your bottle image of Gilbey's Spey Royal was forwarded to the Diageo Archives. Going by the royal warrant (by appointment to H M The King) and the design of the packaging, it is thought your bottle is likely dated from the early 1950s. Diageo does not have an example of your bottle in their archives, therefore made it difficult for them to give you a more precise date.
Spey Royal was launched by W&A Gilbey in the early 1890s and contained Glen Spey malt whisky. W&A Gilbey purchased Glen Spey distillery in 1887.

Thanks a lot for your time and help dating the bottle Jo-Jo!
Now before I open this bottle to get a taste, I am curious if anyone is interested in it from a collectors perspective? |

More than 70 dead and missing, 175 injured: FBI agents work in nightmarish scene at Kenya mall

By Jason Straziuso, Andrew O. Selsky and Tom Odula
Associated Press
NAIROBI, KENYA -- Working near bodies crushed by rubble in a bullet-scarred, scorched mall, FBI agents began fingerprint, DNA and ballistic analysis Wednesday to help determine the identities and nationalities of victims and al-Shabab gunmen who attacked the shopping center, killing more than 60 people.
A gaping hole in the mall's roof was caused by Kenyan soldiers who fired rocket-propelled grenades inside, knocking out a support column, a government official said. The official, who insisted he not be identified because he was sharing security information, said the soldiers fired to distract a terrorist sniper so hostages could be evacuated.
The current death toll is 67 and is likely to climb with uncounted bodies remaining in the wreckage of the Nairobi mall. Another 175 people were injured, including more than 60 who remain hospitalized. At least 18 foreigners were among those killed.
Al-Shabab, the Somali Islamic extremist group which carried out the attack, said Wednesday that foreigners were a "legitimate target" and confirmed witness accounts that gunmen separated Muslims from other people and let the Muslims go free. The others were gunned down or taken hostage.
"The Mujahideen carried out a meticulous vetting process at the mall and have taken every possible precaution to separate the Muslims from the Kuffar (disbelievers) before carrying out their attack," the group said in an email exchange with The Associated Press.
Witnesses have told AP and other media that gunmen rounded up people, asked questions about Islam that a Muslim would know and told the Muslims to leave the mall. Still, some Muslims were among the victims.
Also among those killed when the militants entered the Westgate Mall on Saturday, firing assault rifles and throwing grenades were six Britons and citizens from France, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Peru, India, Ghana, South Africa and China.
Asked if al-Shabab had intended to kill foreigners, the group said "our target was to attack the Kenyan govt on it's soil and any part of the Kenyan territory is a legitimate target ... and Kenya should be held responsible for the loss of life, whether foreigners or local."
Al-Shabab had threatened retaliation against Kenya for sending its troops into Somalia against al-Shabab, and many of those killed in an attack that horrified the world were Kenyans.
Though Kenya's foreign minister earlier said that "two or three" American citizens may have been involved in the attack, a Western official said that after checking passport and refugee databases, there is not yet an indication any Americans were involved. Several U.S. cities, notably Minneapolis, host large Somali-American communities.
The violence continued elsewhere Wednesday. On Kenya's border with Somalia, in the town of Wajir, police chief Isiah Odhiambo said at least two people were wounded after a gunman opened fire in town and two explosions detonated. Odhiambo said police repelled one gunman.
Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said forensic experts from the U.S., Israel, Britain, Germany and Canada are all taking part in trying to reconstruct the scene at the mall. He said results would not be ready before a week's time.

Morgue officials in Nairobi have been prepared for the last two days for a large influx of bodies still in the mall. Officials have told AP that the shopping center, which the terrorists held for four days, could hold dozens more bodies. The government has confirmed 72 total deaths: 61 civilians, six security forces and five attackers. The Red Cross says 71 people remain missing.
Al-Shabab on its Twitter feed Wednesday claimed that the Kenyan government assault team carried out "a demolition" of the building, burying 137 hostages in the debris. A government spokesman denied the claim and said Kenyan forces were clearing all rooms Wednesday, firing as they moved and encountering no one.
The al-Shabab claim appeared to refer to the rocket-propelled grenades fired inside the Nakumatt department store, in the incident described to AP by a government official.
In a series of tweets from a Twitter account believed to be genuine, al-Shabab also said that "having failed to defeat the mujahideen inside the mall, the Kenyan govt disseminated chemical gases to end the siege."
Kenyan government spokesman Manoah Esipisu told AP that no chemical weapons were used - including tear gas - and that the collapse of floors in the mall was caused by a fire set by the terrorists.
"Al-Shabab is known for wild allegations and there is absolutely no truth to what they're saying," he said. But officials said the death count will likely rise.

The country's interior minister in a press conference said an "inconsequential number" of bodies remained in the mall.
The mall's top level parking lot collapsed in the middle of the building. That brought the second level down onto the ground floor on top of at least eight civilians and one or more attackers, said Esipisu.
Lenku said there were no indications that a woman took part in the attack, despite persistent press speculation, and he said officials have not yet confirmed reports that the attackers had rented a shop inside the mall.
U.S. Ambassador Robert Godec said Wednesday that Washington is providing technical support and equipment to Kenyan security forces and medical responders. Godec said the U.S. is assisting the investigation to bring the attack's organizers and perpetrators to justice.
In another development, a British man was arrested in Kenya following the terrorist attack, Britain's Foreign Office said.
British officials are ready to provide assistance to the man, the agency said in a statement Wednesday. Officials would not provide his name or details. He is believed to be in his 30s. Britain's Daily Mail newspaper said he was arrested Monday as he tried to board a flight from Nairobi to Turkey with a bruised face and while acting suspiciously.
Kenyan officials have said that 11 suspects in total have been arrested in connection with the attack, including at least seven at the airport. They are being questioned, said the government spokesman.
The International Criminal Court in the Hague has said it is prepared to work with Kenya to bring the attackers to justice. ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said in a statement that while Kenya has primary jurisdiction in the slaying of civilians in the Westgate Mall, the atrocity could also fall under the court's jurisdiction.
Al-Shabab, whose name means "The Youth" in Arabic, first began threatening Kenya with a major terror attack in late 2011, after Kenya sent troops into Somalia following a spate of kidnappings of Westerners inside Kenya.
The mall attack was the deadliest terrorist attack in Kenya since the 1998 al-Qaida truck bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, which killed more than 200 people.

U.S. President Barack Obama exhorted the world Tuesday to embrace Nelson Mandela's universal message of peace and justice, electrifying tens of thousands of rain-lashed spectators and prompting a standing ovation by scores of heads of state in a South African stadium.
He was with Nelson Mandela during all those years the anti-apartheid icon was imprisoned on Robben Island. And, like millions around the world, he has been hit hard by Mandela's death. Yet this South African was not one of Mandela's fellow prisoners. Christo Brand was his jailer.
Nelson Mandela, who became one of the world's most beloved statesmen and a colossus of the 20th century when he emerged from 27 years in prison to negotiate an end to white minority rule in South Africa, has died. He was 95.
Ailing former South African President Nelson Mandela is not "doing well" but is continuing to put up a courageous fight from his "deathbed," members of his family have told the South African Broadcasting Corporation in an interview.
A movie depicting the life of Nelson Mandela has become South Africa's highest grossing picture after its opening last week, its producers said Thursday. The film, Long Walk to Freedom, has already earned $427,000 (Rand 4.4 million), according to Videovision Entertainment.
Iran struck a historic deal Sunday with the United States and five other world powers, agreeing to a temporary freeze of its nuclear program in the most significant agreement between Washington and Tehran in more than three decades of estrangement.
Most of Nelson Mandela's handwriting is neat, but it harbors a few mysteries. Archivists sometimes struggle to decipher words in the vast body of documents that Mandela penned, and he often jotted an acronym that nobody, not even the former South African president in later years, has been able to explain.
Four investigations, hundreds of testimonies and stacks of medical reports on Yasser Arafat's unexplained death in 2004 have failed to produce hard evidence of what killed him - and findings presented Friday only created more confusion.

Whenever liberals are in a tight spot, they adopt the scorched-earth policy of argumentation. With no answer, they start demanding that you define words: What do you mean "liberal"? What do you mean "democracy"? What do you mean "patriotism"?
It's elementary: When Democrats find themselves in political trouble, they reach for your wallets. After squandering billions on an ineffectual stimulus, failed green energy boondoggles and the disastrous Unaffordable Care Act, the Obama White House wants to dump $75 billion more into "free" preschool for all. That'll solve everything.
I'm annoyed that so many Hollywood celebrities hate the system that made them rich. Actor/comedian Russell Brand told the BBC he wants "a socialist, egalitarian system based on the massive redistribution of wealth."
Let's examine a few statements reflecting a vision thought to be beyond question. "The world that we live in is beautiful but fragile." "The 3rd rock from the sun is a fragile oasis."
The AP "news" organization has manufactured news in order to decry the obstacles to creating a society where we all have the same cruddy high-rise apartment, with the same government-mandated car, with our children in same state-run daycares disguised as schools.
Newspapers are among the last places in America that have close to zero tolerance for [expletive deleted].
The University of the Incarnate Word is a highly-rated Catholic college in San Antonio, Texas. It is hardly a hot bed of campus violence. When senior Robert Cameron Redus was pulled-over last Friday by campus police for "erratically speeding," it is unlikely he had any clue of how tragically the stop would end.
How much worse could Dodd-Frank get? Well… You could add Maxine Waters to the mix. Gayle Trotter, from the Independent Women's Forum, also joined the program to discuss DC's latest budget "deal".
The government's monopoly education system is a travesty mostly because taxpayers spend record amounts of money and we get very poor results. But I'm also irked at the way government schools engage in absurd displays of political correctness, particularly when it comes to make-believe weapons.
Inquiring minds are digging into the alleged "Draconian Cuts" in Food Stamps as described by the Daily Koz. Of course the Daily Koz is not alone in whining about "draconian" cuts.
With the U.S. Census Bureau's long-delayed release of new home sale prices last week, we now have a better picture of the situation developing for the U.S. new home market. It would appear that the rapid rise in new home sale prices that we have observed since July 2012 is now stalling out.
The death of iconic South African leader Nelson Mandela prompted torrents of gushing praise from world leaders and media this week. Mandela was widely depicted as a near-flawless human being.
The Supreme Court over the past four decades has issued some decisions that not only defied the Constitution, but imposed changes on our society that go so far as to challenge fundamental principles of our civilization.
Iran's willingness to restore ties with Hamas indicates Iran remains as committed to the destruction of Israel under Ruhani as it was under Ahmadi-Nejad.
The U.N. Security Council's mandate authorizing French military intervention in the Central African Republic's expanding civil war is one more indication that in sub-Saharan Africa's chaotic corners, "peacekeeping with teeth" has become bottom line U.N. policy.
A real crisis was looming, not the kind that today's headline-writers regularly invoke, and so devalue.
The government's latest reports that the economy grew at a 3.6 percent annual rate in the third quarter and created 203,000 new jobs last month left out a lot of caveats.
When U.S. President Barack Obama was elected in 2008, it marked the first time that a local "community organizer" had risen to the highest office on the planet. I wasn't entirely optimistic.
?There is an abundance of evidence that the education system is failing far too many American children. Scholastically speaking the familiar chant of, "We're Number One" – seemingly embedded in American's DNA for generations – has been replaced with "We're just average – and sliding backwards."
This Saturday marks the first anniversary of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Yet recordings of the 911 calls placed from the school that day were released only last week, thanks to a misguided and lawless attempt to conceal this information.
Officially, Friday is Ben Bernanke's birthday, but we can understand if he's too pooped to party after last Friday. It was a heck of a week that began with the market edging lower each day in anticipation of a better-than-expected jobs report.

Willing to follow the voice she hears
Unfortunately, much of the power of the Advent season can be lost, with the challenge and urgency of the message gutted by pageants and figurines retelling the story. Because what today's story gives us is a startling picture of just what Advent is all about — the call to be prepared for the call of God.
I like to think I'd respond well to an angel asking me to do something. After all, if I know it's really a message from God, why not? You have the power of God to assist you. But it's rarely that easy.
Think about it: How did the messenger come to Mary? In a dream? As an apparition? A voice in her head she couldn't ignore? How was she to know it was God, and continue to embrace that message as obstacle after obstacle comes her way?
I've had a lot of moments of recognition of God's voice or presence in my life. But usually, I'm sorry to say, the will to follow that voice doesn't last all that long. I get distracted. I doubt that it will work. I don't want to look silly to others.
The Advent story is one of fierce, frightening fidelity to God's call. It does not necessarily make our lives easier.
If the voice Mary hears is real, she will become pregnant before she is married. And yet she is willing to follow the voice she hears, putting at risk not just her plans for her life but her reputation in the community.
We are called to be the same. Following Jesus is not a matter of simply blessing ourselves and doing as we please. We are called to live our lives differently than others — to risk our security and even our reputations because the values of the kingdom of God are much different than the values of our societies. We are called to serve the poor, to intervene on behalf of the vulnerable, and to love our enemies.
We live in an era that is nearly defined by conflict, where the harder you resist your enemies, the more you are rewarded. It's happening in our national politics, where elected officials are racing to be the first to be outraged by their opponents.
The Advent story is one of fierce, frightening fidelity to God's call. It does not necessarily make our lives easier, on a material level. We are called to lives of service, of surrender, and of sacrifice. And we are promised a joy and peace and security more expansive and more lasting than anything we can imagine.
It sounds like a great deal, right? It is. It's just difficult to live it every day when the world around us pleads with us to acquire, accumulate and acquiesce.
As Christmas arrives, and we celebrate the truth that God comes to us in human form to show us the full extent of God's love, compassion and joy, it is important to remember that the way to access God's generosity is by living differently. We will only know that love is better than gold if we live that way.

MONDAY, Feb. 19, 1883-2 p. m.The Senate met at 2 o'clock p. m.
Prayer by Rev. W. B. Collins.
On motion of Mr. GRAHAM the reading of the Secretary's minutes of Friday's proceedings was dispensed with.
was announced by the Doorkeeper and His Excellency's Private Secretary communicated the following message, which was read by the Clerk:
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 19, 1883
Gentlemen of the Senate:
The Constitution provides that every bill which shall have passed the General Assembly shall be presented to the Governor, and that if he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it with his objections to the House in which it shall have originated. It further provides that if any bill shall not be returned by the Governor within three days (Sunday excepted) after it shall have been presented to him it shall be a law without his signature unless the general adjournment shall prevent its return.
Senate Bill No. 1 relating to the government and management of the Benevolent Institutions, was presented to me on Wednesday, the 14th inst., Saturday, the 17th inst., had the Senate been in session, was the last day upon which I could have returned the bill with objections. The Senate not having been in session that day, and yesterday having been Sunday, no doubt is entertained that it is competent for me to return the bill with my last objections to-day. On Saturday last, however, thinking that a question might possibly be started whether, in order that the objections might be in session, the bill should not have been delivered to the presiding officer of the Senate on that day along with my objections thereto, I placed the bill in his hands and a written statement of my objections to it, and requested him to return the bill to the Senate on the meeting of the Senate to-day, and also to cause to be communicated to the Senate the statement of objections which I delivered to him. I have the honor now to repeat the same request, regretting however that an occasion has arisen which obliges me, under a sense of official duty, to differ from a majority of the two Houses in relation to the expediency of the passage of the bill.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Feb. 17, 1883.
Gentlemen of the Senate:
I respectfully return to the Senate, with my objections, Senate Bill No. 1, entitled, "An act providing for the better government and management of the Hospital for the Insane, the Asylum for the Blind, and the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb; repealing all laws or parts of laws in conflict therewith, and declaring an emergency." The power of the Governor to appoint Trustees for the three Benevolent Institutions, the Hospital for the Insane, the Institution for the Education of the Blind, and the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, was conferred by the act of March 6, 1879, reorganizing these institutions. But one Legislature has intervened since the passage of the act. The Legislature that passed it deemed the necessity so strong for the provision transferring from itself to the Executive the power of appointing Trustees that it did not allow the President of the Board of Trustees and two other Trustees whose terms of office had then two years to run, to serve out any part of the residue of their terms. The reasons of the Legislature for desiring to transfer this power from itself to the Governor are not difficult to understand. The sessions of the Legislature are limited by the Constitution to sixty days, except when some extraordinary duty is devolved upon it, such as revising the whole body of our laws.
The time is sufficient when the Legislature is in a condition to address itself with earnestness to its legislative work. But to perform the duties entrusted to it within the time limited, and to form wise laws, the uninterrupted and deliberate attention of members of the Legislature is of course imperatively necessary. That attention can not be given when the Legislature converts itself into a body for the distribution of officers, and time is necessarily consumed every day in the bodies of the Houses and elsewhere in listening to the solicitations of candidates and their friends. The inevitable effect is a distraction from the duties incumbent upon themselves and a
page: 221[View Page 221]great waste of time. It is also well-known that when the Legislature makes itself a direct agency for bestowing office, party spirit always runs so high that the greater portion of its time is spent in useless political controversies, to the great detriment of the business which its members were elected to discharge.
These may well be supposed to have been the considerations which induced the Legislature in 1879 to change the law to what it is now. The chief complaint of the people against our laws is that they are so unstable. The people do not see why the laws abolished and changed so often that plain men can never be certain what the laws are, and are obliged to resort, to a professional class to learn what they are, on the simplest subjects. It Is a wise rule not to change a law until evil consequences from it are sensibly felt.
It is claimed by the friends of the bill now re turned, that the present law which it is intended to replace, has thus far worked well. If, under it the Governor nominates for Trustees persons unsatisfactory to the Senate, that body can refuse to confirm the nominations, and put upon him the responsibility of nominating others whom they may ultimately approve. If he omits to do so the incumbents will continue to hold their places. The people will therefore perceive no satisfactory reason why in four years after passage of the present law it should be repealed by the law which the Legislature in 1879 condemned.
The power of appointing to office is not one to be coveted by the executive. To a sensitive mind the disappointment inflicted upon many worthy applicants is more keenly felt than the gratification of giving to a successful few. In arguing in favor of the law as it now is I feel that I can speak therefore, in an impersonal way for what is best for the public and not for what would be most agreeable to the appointing officer.
On motion by Mr. BROWN the messag3 was made the special order for day after to-morrow at 10 o'clock.
Mr. VOYLES, from the Committee on Elections, submitted another minority report revising that the supplemental charge of bribery is possible not sustained by sufficient facts to unseat Senator Overstreet, but that the whole proof is sufficient cause for unseating him and for seating Mr. Johnson.
On motion by Mr. GRAHAM, the House amendments to his bill [S. 29] to legalize the acts of Trustees of Westfield, Hamilton County, excepting suits now pending, were concurred in.
The Lieutenant Governor announced the special order being the consideration of the general appropriation bill [H. R. 302], as in Committee of the Whole [Mr. Bell in the Chair] commencing where the Committee left off on Friday afternoon.
Mr. MAGEE moved to make office expenses of the Clerk of the Supreme Court $500.
It was agreed to.
Mr. BUNDY moved to increase the appropriation for the Fishery Commission from $1,000 to $3,000. He has information that the present Fish Commissioner spent more during the past year than the appropriation. If we are to have this most benevolent institution of the States it ought to be placed on a basis that will enable the Fish Commissioner to carry out the purposes and intention of the law.
Mr. WILLARD opposed the increase, especially when not more than $1,300 was asked.
Mr. WHITE favored the motion. The northern part of the State is dotted all over with lakes, which should be stocked with fish. The State of Michigan appropriates s^me $10,000 a year, and Indiana should not be so far behind.
Mr. YOUCHE heartily concurred with the remarks just made by the Senator from Elkhart [Mr. White]. There is nothing that adds so much to the comfort, happiness and pleasure of the people of his section as good fishing grounds. They all are in favor of it, and they all want the Fishing Commission to be encouraged.
Mr. FAULKNER opposed the motion. Fish can be obtained by anyone by sending for them, without money and without price, a large sum being yearly expended by the government for the propagation of fish, which will be distributed to proper applicants.
Mr. SPANN insisted Indiana ought not to be niggardly in this matter of placing in the streams of this State food fishes, so that fishing may be full and free to every man who will cast a line. Indiana should be put in a position in this matter to be abreast of sister States on this fish question.
The amendment [Mr. Bundy's] was agreed to upon a division-affirmative, 23; negative not counted.
Mr. MAGEE moved to increase the sum appropriated for maintenance of T( pairs of the State's Prison North from $75,000 to $85,000, at the suggestion of the Chairman of the Committee on Prisons.
Mr. CAMPBELL visited the Prison with the Committee and knew the boilers were old and dangerous, and provision should be made for insane convicts. which latter are simply inhuman.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. SPANN made the same motion with regard to the State Prison South. Before that Prison can be put in proper condition it needs a new wall better cell facilities, etc.
Mr. WILLARD thought it a strange way to treat an appropriation bill, when nothing of the kind is asked by the management. Last year both of these Prisons were within $75,000 of two years ago. It is the business of those interested to make these kind of demands, and he objected to these increases.
Mr. BENZ said the Warden of the Northern Prison requested him to make an increase, and would have been here but for sickness, asking that an additional amount be appropriated.
Mr. SPANN said the Warden of the Southern Prison made a similar statement. The work house needs repair, the cells need repairs and the Prison generally put in better condition.
The amendment was agreed to upon admission-affirmative, 23; negative, not announced.
The Finance Committee's amendment reducing the appropriation for the Female Reformatory from $30,000 to $28,000, being read-
Mr. WILLARD said the appropriation for this Institution has not been expended but once.
Mr. VAN VORHIS insisted instead of lowering this appropriation it ought to be increased. He moved to insert $35,000 instead of $30,000.
Mr. MARVIN hoped the sum in the bill would be allowed to remain. The managers tell him, as a member of the Committee, that they never had enough money appropriated for its management.
Mr. GRAHAM desired to see the substitute amendment prevail. He visited this Institution two years ago with the Committee, and if the inmates are fed as they were on that occasion, it is a disgrace to the State of Indiana-the food was unfit for any human being to eat He hoped the management would see 10 it that no starvation is Bilowed in that Institution.
Mr. HILLIGASS understands that two years ago there was over $2,000 unexpended; and that this is not the way to avert the evils just complained of. Unless this is done he opposed increasing the appropriation.
Mr. BROWN contended this sum can be used for maintenance-including food and clothing and repairs. This bill makes an increase of $2,000 over last, year, and that is probably as far as should be gone. He hoped the officers would remedy the evil spoken of by the Senator from Hamilton [Mr. Graham.]
page: 222[View Page 222]Mr. WHITE thought the appropriation ought to be increased.
Mr. CAMPBELL in conversation with the Governor, that gentleman stated the appropriation has been too small.
Mr. RISTINE stated that there was urgent need in preparing comfortable quarters for the sick.
Mr. VAN VORHIS was satisfied $35,000 is none too much. That Institution is in such a needy condition the State ought not to permit it to remain. Many things have been left undone that otherwise would be done if it had the funds. The Hospital Department should be improved. The inmates are increasing, and the labor of the inmates would be better utilized if money were available to procure material.
The substitute [Mr. Van Vorhis'] was rejected upon a division-affirmative, 16; negative, 18.
The Finance Committee amendment was rejected.
Mr. BENZ moved to reconsider the vote adding $10,00 to the State Prison South.
Mr. SPANN opposed and Mr. Faulkner favored the motion.
It was rejected upon a division.
On motion by Mr. BROWN the words "and the certificate of State stock, if there be any of such stock," were stricken from the bill.
Mr. WILLARD moved to amend by providing there shall be no appropriation for expenses of the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 1881.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. BUNDY moved that the Committee rise, report its action and ask leave to be discharged.
The motion was agreed to, and according-
The Committee rose.
On motion by Mr. BUNDY the Senator from Madison [Mr. Henry] took the Chair, the Lieutenant Governor being absent from the Chamber.
The following House bills were read the first time and referred to the appropriate Committees, unless otherwise stated:
The bill [H. R. 3] to amend Section 461 of the act concerning proceedings in civil cases.
The bill [H. R. 53] to legalize the town of Barnettsville, White County.
The bill [H. R. 133] to provide for a Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners, was being read by the Clerk when-
Mr. Bundy objected to taking up bills out of the order as they came from the House, stating there were quite a number of House bills received in the Senate prior to this one.
Mr. Spann also objected and gave notice that he should file a protest against the action of the Clerk in reading bills out of their regular and proper order.
Mr. BROWN moved to take up the Police Commissioner bill and read it now, and on that motion he demanded the previous question.
The demand for the previous question was seconded by yeas, 22; nays, 17.
The motion to read the bill was rejected by yeas, 22; nays, 17-two thirds not voting in the affirmative.
Mr. BELL, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole Senate, returned the general appropriation bill [S. 302] with the recommendation that it pass with the amendments adopted in Committee of the Whole.
On motion by Mr. BELL the report of the Committee was concurred in.
On his further motion the amendments were ordered engrossed.
Mr. YANCEY moved to take up the bill [H. R. 119] to appropriate $100,000 for the relief of sufferers by the floods on the Ohio, Wabash and White Rivers.
The motion was rejected by yeas, 13; nays, 24.
Mr. CAMPBELL explaining that his negative vote was because he desired to hear from the Senator Committee sent to investigate the ravages of the flood. That Committee has promised a report to-morrow.
Mr. McINTOSH also explained his negative vote. When the bill appropriating $40,000 was before the Senate he vainly endeavored to obtain an increase to $50,000. But now, considering the vast amount proposed to be appropriated by this bill, it ought not to be hurried through.
transmitted to the Senate the first annual report of the Commissioner of Fisheries; which on motion by Mr. Bell was referred to a Select Committee of Three, which the President pro tem. ([Mr. Henry in the Chair] made to consist of Messrs. Bell, Spann, and Bundy.
Mr. VAN VORHIS moved to recall from the Committee on Railroads his bill [S. 24] to prevent the erection and maintenance over the rails or road bed of any railroad in this State of anything dangerous to human life, for the purpose of having it referred to another Committee.
Mr. BELL declaring this motion to be for delay and nothing else, moved to lay it on the table.
The motion was agreed to by yeas, 25; nays, 15.
Mr. SPANN moved to take up the bill [H. R. 419] to appropriated $100,000 for the relief sufferers by the flood, read it the first time by sections, the second time by title, the third time by sections and put upon its passage.
On motion by Mr. Bell, this motion was laid on the table by yeas, 21; nays 20.
Pending the roll call-
Mr. BENZ, in explanation of his vote, when his name was called said: I represent two Counties on the Ohio River and have received dispatches to use my influence for the passage of this bill. I know the people there are suffering and need that money. I vote "no."
Mr. VOYLES, when his name was called, in explanation of his vote said: While in favor of this bill I am inclined to think that the motion to advance it, coming from the source it did and from the time it did, is only used to impede the regular order of business; but in order to accommodate the Senator who made the motion I vote "no."
Mr. YANCEY, in explanation of his vote, said: I think it is the unkindest cut of all for my friend from Washington [Mr. Voyles] to cast an insinuation in regard to the source of the motion. I want to say I am in sympathy with these flood sufferers. They are in distress, and I don't believe it is the time in Indiana to act niggardly. I know his constituency want something done to help them, and therefore I vote "no."
Mr. FAULKNER, in explaining his vote, said: I vote "aye" because the Relief Committee has not spent but $15,000 of the money already appropriated. He voted "aye"
The result was announced as above recorded.
The motion was laid on the table.
Mr. WILLARD moved to take up the bill [H. R. 33], being the next bill in order, and on that motion demanded the previous question.
Mr. SPANN raised the point of order that it needs no motion, as the bill is in order without a motion.
The PRESIDENT pro tem. [Mr. Henry in the Chair] decided the bill [H. R. 33] to be the order of business-the Clerk had already commenced reading the bill-the motion is not in order.
page: 223[View Page 223]Mr. WILLARD took an appeal from this decision-which he subsequently withdrew.
Mr. BELL moved to proceed with the reading of the House bill 33 without the intervention of any other business, and demanded the previous question.
Mr. VAN VORHIS made an ineffectual motion-yeas, 17; nays, 24-to lay his motion on the table.
The demand for the previous question was seconded by the Senate.
The motion to proceed with the reading of the bill was agreed to-yeas, 24; nays 16.
Accordingly the Clerk proceeded to read the bill [H. R. 3[?]] to amend Section 1 of an act providing for a homestead exempting it from sale or execution, and having read the title only-
Mr. BUNDY moved that the Senate adjourn.
Mr. BELL made the point of order that the motion is not in order.
The PRESIDENT, pro tem. decided the point of order not well taken.
Mr. BELL appealed from the decision of the Chair, joined by Mr. Brown.
Mr. BUNDY made an ineffectual motion-yeas, 17; nays, 23-to lay the appeal on the table.
The question being shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the Senate-
Mr. BELL demanded the previous question.
Mr. YANCEY (before the Clerk commenced to call the roll) asked to be excused from voting.
Mr. BELL made the point of order that the demand having been made for the previous question, and stated by the Chair, no motion to be excused from voting is in order.
The PRESIDENT pro tem. sustained the point of order.
The Senate seconded the demand for the previous question by yeas, 23; nays, 15, and the main question ordered by yeas, 23; nays, 14.
The question recurring, Shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the House? The decision of the Chair was not sustained by yeas, 15; nays, 23.
The Clerk proceeded with the first reading of the bill [H. R. 33]. When he had concluded-
Mr. BROWN moved to take up and read through the first time the bill [H. R. 133] and that no other motion be entertained or other business transacted until said bill is read through the first time; and on this motion he demanded the previous question.
The demand was seconded by yeas, 24; nays, 17, and the main question ordered by yeas, 25; nays, 15.
Mr. FOULKE moved to adjourn.
Mr. BROWN raised a point of order that this motion is not in order pending the previous question.
The PRESIDENT pro tem. sustained the point of order.
Mr. BUNDY appealed from the decision of the Chair.
Mr. BROWN raised the point the appeal could now be sustained.
The PRESIDENT pro tem. permitted the appeal.
The decision of the Chair was sustained by yeas, 25; nays, 10.
Mr. SPANN moved to reconsider the vote just taken.
On motion by Mr. BELL this motion was laid on the table-yeas, 25; nays, 10.
Mr. FOULKE demanded a decision of the question.
The first part of the motion, viz.: to take up the bill [S. 13] was agreed to by yeas, 24; nays, 10.
Mr. FOULKE raised the point of order that the second part of the motion is not in order.
The PRESIDENT pro tem. sustained the point.
Mr. SPANN moved to reconsider the last vote, which was rejected by yeas, 12; nays, 24.
The bill [H. R. 13[?]] to provide for a Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners in all cities of 25,000 or more inhabitants was read the first time.
Mr. FOULKE denounced this bill as utterly viscous, and utterly regardless of the rights of the people, and would make no apologies for obstructing the progress of this measure-the most pernicious ever operated-having for its purpose the taking away from the people their vested municipal rights. He gave way for
Mr. BUNDY, who made an ineffectual motion to adjourn.
Mr. BELL endeavored to obtain the floor.
Mr. FOULKE insisted he had yielded only for a motion to adjourn.
The PRESIDENT pro tem. decided the Senator from Wayne [Mr. Foulke] entitled to the floor.
Mr. BELL appealed from the decision of the Chair.
The PRESIDENT pro tem. decided there was nothing to appeal from.
Mr. BELL appealed from this decision.
The Senate refused to sustain the Chair by yeas, 10; nays, 24.
Mr. FOULKE still claimed the floor, and proceeded with his remarks. He contended the bill would put it in the power of the Police Commissioners to bankrupt the city of Indianapolis. At 8:20 he gave way for
Mr. MAGEE, on whose motion the bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. SPANN moved that the bill [H. R. 419] be taken up, read the first time by sections, the second time by title, the third time by sections and put upon its passage.
Mr. BROWN moved to adjourn.
The motion was rejected-yeas, 18; nays, 19.
The motion to suspend the rules was rejected by yeas, 24; nays, 14.
The Senate adjourned at 8:35 o'clock p. m.

The weather wasn't cooperating with their efforts: National Weather Service crews surveying the damage in Moore reported rain, half-inch hail and 45-mph winds over the debris field.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol asked motorists to steer clear of Interstate 35 near Moore to free up lanes for disaster response resources streaming into the area.
And so many people were showing up to volunteer that authorities had to plead with would-be rescuers to stay away.
Path of devastation
The tornado struck at 2:45 pm C.T. on Monday -- only 5 minutes after the first warnings went out, according to the National Weather Service.
Moore residents had about 30 minutes before the massive storm entered the western part of the city, CNN meteorologist Sean Morris said.
Among the many buildings struck by the storm were two schools: Plaza Towers and Briarwood elementaries.
Of the nine children killed by the storm, authorities said seven died at Plaza Towers Elementary School where the tornado ripped the roof off and collapsed walls.
Among the dead is 9-year-old Ja'Nae Hornsby, who was killed at Plaza Towers, her father told CNN's Anderson Cooper.
About 75 students and staff members were hunkered down in Plaza Towers when the tornado struck, CNN affiliate KFOR reported.
At one point, an estimated 24 children were missing from the school, but some later turned up at nearby churches.
On Monday, a father of a third-grader still missing sat quietly on a stool outside. Tears cascaded from his face as he waited for any news.
Even parents of survivors couldn't wrap their minds around the tragedy.
"I'm speechless. How did this happen? Why did this happen?" Norma Bautista asked. "How do we explain this to the kids? ... In an instant, everything's gone."
'It's heartbreaking'
James Dickens, a gas-and-oil pipeline worker, grabbed his hard had and joined other rescuers at Plaza Towers Elementary School.
"I felt it was my duty to come help," he said Tuesday after a long night of searching.
"As a father, it's humbling. It's heartbreaking to know that we've still got kids over there that's possibly alive, but we don't know."
Moore, and the Oklahoma City region, are far too familiar with disaster. In 1995, 168 people died in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
In 1999 and then again in 2003, Moore took direct hits from tornadoes that took eerily similar paths to Monday's storm. The 1999 storm packed the strongest wind speeds in history, Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb said.
"We're a tough state. This is a tough community," Lamb said. "There is hope. We always have hope. We always have faith."
President Barack Obama, pledging whatever federal aid Oklahoma would need, praised teachers who protected their students.
"If there is hope to hold on to -- not just in Oklahoma but around the country -- it's the knowledge that the good people there and in Oklahoma are better prepared for this type of storm than most," he said. "And what they can be certain of is that Americans from every corner of this country will be right there with them, opening our homes, our hearts, to those in need, because we're a nation that stands with our fellow citizens as long as it takes."
More trouble brewing
The storm system that spawned Monday's tornado and several other twisters Sunday isn't over yet.

text: The US Military is "Going Green" and we don't mean green fatigues either. In a joint operation currently under construction in Ft. Huachuca Military base in Ft. Huachuca City, AZ the US Army and Arizona Luxury Lawns and Putting Greens is installing 1 million square feet of artificial turf on the base for various applications. These applications will include 19 Football/Soccer, artificial grass fields as well as synthetic grass baseball fields, and several child care facilities on the base. The project is ongoing and was kicked off last October with the installation of the first of two 110,000 square feet football fields. Arizona Luxury Lawns and Putting Greens in conjunction with Marsh Development is currently building five baseball fields utilizing artificial grass. The overall project will save the base millions of gallons of water as well as several hundred thousands of tax payer dollars on maintenance and water cost over the life of the turf. The fields will also allow for 24 hour access thus providing the Army with a safe training area for troops that may be conducting night time exercises. The current youth baseball league on the base was commuting into town to utilize the baseball facilities as the base's fields were in disarray. Now the base will be able to host a multitude of events on their new fields without the worry of hazards and unsightly appearance. The next phase of the project will commence shortly after the fields are completed. Arizona Luxury Lawns will build two 50,000 square foot training areas for the troops to train on without the possibility of injury from hard and uneven surfaces currently in use. "These guys deserve the best we can give them. They put their lives on the line for us, and they at least deserve safe and clean training facilities," says Chris Harlien, Owner, of Arizona Luxury Lawns and Putting Greens based out of Scottsdale AZ. "We are stanch supporters of our Military and their families," mentions Chris. "We recently completed a hand to hand combat area for the US Marines on Luke AFB in Surprise, AZ a few months back and they love it! We are excited to participate in these projects as we continue to support our troops 100%."

GM's Bailout Money May Go Overseas
General Motors has received $50 billion in taxpayer assistance, yet even as the company cuts thousands of jobs at U.S. locations, it is considering investing billions of those taxpayer dollars on overseas operations. GM maintains that only through a strong international presence can it remain competitive and profitable, but critics say that the taxpayer money was meant to preserve U.S. jobs.
Millions of Taxpayers Will Repay Tax Break
Thanks to how the Internal Revenue Service implemented President Barack Obama's tax break last spring, more than 15 million taxpayers may owe the government either $250 or $400 more for their 2009 income tax. The tax break has decreased the amount of tax withheld for 95 percent of working families, but millions will find that they need to pay back the government for not withholding enough.

We booked 3 nights here at the start of our Honeymoon in Bali. The location is ok, nothing to write home about and Seminyak in general is very touristy... busy and hard to get around on foot. However - this was our little luxurious retreat! The grounds are beautiful and blew us away with the quiet private atmosphere despite there being several villas in the complex, you feel like you are in your own little Balinese wonderland. We had to be upgraded as the 1 bedroom villa wasn't available, obviously this made the stay more exciting that we originally planned as we got a 2 bedroom villa with what I imagine is a bigger pool / living area. They are stunning villas with total privacy and very clean. The outside shower in the master bedroom was amazing a real treat! Staff friendly and food at the attached hotel is excellent value and quality and can be delivered to your villa. Also the birthday cake on my birthday was a lovely touch! Would not hesitate to stop again. بواسطة robmanmanc من Chester, UK بتاريخ 2013/10/10

River (not very obscure, but I can see it on a girl or a boy)
Would you consider unisex names, or do you want strictly boy's names?
Ira (sort of cheating here- it's a Hebrew boy's name, but a girl's name in Sanskrit - name of an ancient river)
Milan (Indian boy's name for "coming together" or a positive meeting up, also the #5 Serbian boy's name...and place name)tea drinker + cat lover + ever-evolving baker+cook...positive realist who loves beautiful words, names, and images.
Feel free to ask me about Sanskrit-based names.

The June 2012 Golfsmith Catalog has an incorrect price listed for this product. The correct price is listed above. We apologize for any confusion.
The TaylorMade Burner Super Fast Fairway Wood features the same SuperFast technology as the driver, with the addition of a lighter, longer shaft, a lighter grip and a larger, more forgiving clubhead. While everything below the hosel has been made lighter, its the technology and engineering in the clubhead that provide the most game-improving technology. First off, at 200cc in the 3-wood, this is the largest clubhead in a fairway wood that TaylorMade has ever created. Inside, a low and deep center of gravity provides more power and a high launch-angle for more carry and distance. Behind the clubface, theyve enhanced the COR, or coefficient of restitution, with Inverted Cone technology, which adds some spring to the clubface to increase ball speeds at the moment of impact for even more distance. The Burner SuperFast Fairway Wood makes the perfect, easy-to-hit, game-improving companion to the Burner SuperFast Driver.

KICKOFF: Saturday, 8 p.m. ET
SITE: Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio
SERIES: Ohio State leads 55-18-5, with the Buckeyes winning last season's meeting in Madison 21-14.
RANKINGS: Wisconsin, No. 23; Ohio State, No. 4
Everything that took place in the first month of the football season was about getting to this point. No offense meant toward Buffalo, San Diego State, Cal or Florida A&M, but in the minds of the Buckeyes, the season starts now.
Ohio State swept through its schedule in 2012, going unbeaten and winning the Leaders Division title in the Big Ten, but because of the NCAA restrictions levied against the program for the multiple sins of the Jim Tressel/Terrelle Pryor era, the Buckeyes hit the wall when the regular season ended.
Banned from playing in the Big Ten championship game or in a bowl game, Ohio State stewed and sulked a bit, and then set a course for re-establishing its supremacy in the Big Ten. The first official step in that process takes place this week, when Wisconsin comes to The Horseshoe.
If the conference opener can indeed be a showdown, then we have one here. Ohio State enters the game with the nation's longest winning streak at 16 games and has won four of the last five meetings with Wisconsin.
The Badgers come into the game 3-1, with only a bizarre loss to Arizona State in the final seconds marring their record. Ohio State is scoring better than 50 points per game this season and the Badgers are allowing only 10.5 per game, so something has to give, and it usually does when these two powerhouses meet.
"This is a big one. The Big Ten season starts," Meyer said. "This is obviously our goal, our focus, and to make it through the preseason undefeated, which we wanted to have happen, but our goal is to win the Big Ten."
Meyer heaped praise and respect on Wisconsin, which has been the primary challenger to Ohio State and Michigan's long-running supremacy in the Big Ten. While Michigan has struggled in the first recovery years after Rich Rodriguez left, and Ohio State was dealing with the mess of the Tressel/Pryor sanctions, Wisconsin has played in the last three Rose Bowls.
"We have a lot of respect for Wisconsin," Meyer said. "We have our hands full. They have an excellent coach, and in my opinion, they are the king of the Big Ten right now and this is an opportunity to go compete with a team that's competed in the Rose Bowl the last few years."
Meyer said he expects this battle of Big Ten titans to live up to its billing, and set one of the programs on a course toward the Big Ten championship game.
"It is very much a game that I think our players and their players know that it's going to come down how they perform," he said. "I think this will be a classic game."
-- QB Braxton Miller returns to action after missing two weeks with a sprained knee and coach Meyer said Wednesday that he will get the start. QB Kenny Guiton threw six touchdown passes in the first half of last week's win over Florida A&M and established an Ohio State record, so don't be surprised if Meyer uses both quarterbacks by design or is quick with the hook if Miller is rusty.
--TE Jeff Heuerman had four receptions for 43 yards in last week's win, allowing the Buckeyes to show their upcoming opponents that a big and athletic tight end is very much a part of the passing attack.
--WR Devin Smith has become Ohio State's scary deep threat after averaging 41 yards per touchdown catch. "Once he has that threat, there is that fear of getting beat deep; and everything else opens up," Meyer said.
--RB Ezekiel Elliott let the Buckeyes flaunt their depth at tailback as he came in to rush for 162 yards and scored two touchdowns in the second half against Florida A&M. Elliott is fourth on the depth chart.
--QB Braxton Miller, who missed the past two games with a sprained knee, is expected to return to the starting lineup. Everyone will be looking for signs of rust, and checking Miller's lateral movement on that tender knee.
--QB Joel Stave is playing in his biggest game of his career to date. Stave has to control the offense, not worry about the crowd noise and not force passes into tight zones that could lead to game-turning interceptions.
--RB Melvin Gordon is going to be the focal point for Ohio State's defense. As the nation's leading rusher, Gordon averages 156 yards per game. Gordon can leap into the Heisman Trophy race with a big game in Columbus.
--WR Jared Abbrederis can take over a game with his catching and punt return abilities. He might get more opportunities due to the Badgers wanting to keep the Buckeyes from stacking the box. Look for Abbrederis to be a key determining factor for the Badgers.
