I reside in Cheatham County, Tennessee, and observed an alien in my yard in February this year.
The reason I am coming forward is because the description the woman in Georgia provided of the 3 alien beings she observed at a campsite where she and her husband were camping the latter part of 2009 is almost exactly the same as what I saw.
It was approximately 5:00 in the morning. There was still snow on the ground from the last snow. I had gotten ready for work and was sitting in my Suzuki in the drive letting it warm up before leaving for my job in Nashville, Tennessee.
I caught movement out of the corner of my eye in the area of my garage (which is used for storage and not to pull a car into). At first, I thought it was one of the neighbor's dogs.
I turned to look and saw something which very closely matched the description of the alien creatures which the woman in Georgia observed.
Its body, extra long arms and hind legs were so thin. Its head was very large and bumpy. It was pale in color and hairless.
It was very cold outside, and the creature appeared a light grayish color (I'm not sure whether the cold temperature would have affected the appearance of the color).
The only difference in my story and hers is that the 3 creatures she saw were upright. This was moving on all 4's, however, the way it was moving made it appear like a monkey or gorilla that are oftentimes upright, but then use their arms in conjunction with their legs to propel themselves forward.
On all 4's, it was about the height of a large dog, and I observed that it would be considered short, compared to most humans, if it stood upright.
Its legs were short, quite a bit stockier than the body and arms, which were long and skinny.
It kept looking back as though it thought it was being followed, and so it was surprised to see me sitting inside the automobile when it looked around, directly at me, for the first time.
I got a good look at its large, round eyes which were darkish in color. They appeared a dark brown. It was as though it sensed I wasn't going to hurt it, and it continued on across my yard, across the road, and continued out a connecting road which is directly in front of my home.
There are lots of wooded areas in the direction it was traveling, and lots of wooded area behind my home.
I am not comfortable just ignoring this occurrence. Questions are racing through my mind - questions which need to be answered.
What are these creatures doing in our wooded areas, hiding out by day and wandering by night? Where did they come from? Are they depleting any of our resources?
Will they become dangerous if someone acts aggressively toward them? (I was so busy looking at its eyes and bumpy head that I cannot describe a nose and/or mouth.)
I am a sane individual who is employed at one of Nashville's most prominent law firms.

Thanks so much our next guest says Europe's debt crisis is a dark cloud that will hang over US markets for the remainder of the year.
He's also got a TI and JPMorgan -- -- so how can investors protect themselves.
From the European day -- perhaps banking meltdown.
Joining us is Kevin -- president and chief investment officer penny and Walsh asset management Kevin welcome back to the -- and you first heard the breaking news this so called London wellness through -- now fired from JPMorgan.
What are your thoughts on this gigantic trade banks' ability and stations to take risk and whether or not a shareholder is really what that role should be with that relationship should be like.
Yes I can't think that the headlines tomorrow is not going to be the big well as help impeached.
But I think it's indicative of where we thank you very much I think it's indicative -- we stand right now as a country.
In terms of capital markets and the need for additional regulation and I have to -- -- Jamie Dimon in this case because.
I think as a private institution.
We're gonna they're publicly traded they should be allowed to place big bets take big breasts Burris can be rewarded for those they should be also be allowed to fail.
The -- does happen and because they feel they've not to suffer the consequence.
-- the shareholder to be wary about but that said.
We've -- just additional transparency so that shareholders can monitor these traits better.
But I think transparency is a great thing but I think at the end of the day we have been very careful about how far we regulate prevent those abilities for those banks to make money.
If you're shareholder -- you don't like the risk management that's -- -- and JPMorgan.
Don't invest your money that I think that's the real answer.
You see Europe is really the dark cloud we have a lot of headlines about that earlier today.
You know whether or not Greek banks would receive direct funding or -- was gonna get through there on central banker and made markets very nervous.
Are we sitting on pins and needles about Europe right now what's the next thing you're looking towards the next sign.
Still I think nothing has really changed in Europe that's why find so interesting that the market was able to -- twelve and a half percent in the first quarter despite any real meaningful progress in Europe.
Greece will default -- on the question of if it's a question of when and how long can they actually prevent that from happening to stabilize the rest of Europe.
But the difficulty with this becomes is what type of meaningful austerity measures can they put in place clearly the people of Greece do not want austerity measures.
Most people many -- population want whenever they can get from the government -- pushed back the turn take that away from them.
Explained the exposure of the US exposure to the European banks -- it's not necessarily smaller banks but.
When -- the ripple goes down to it goes up to rather the larger European banks and how you're watching the credit spreads tighten in and what all this means much signals are signposts.
To your point it's a great question because people say there is no contagion risk -- US is that doesn't have exposure to Greece and to Spain -- Italy -- too much lesser extent but of course that's what was at the heart of the JPMorgan trader who can't and -- -- forget connecting these two topic that's what's got the ball rolling back up.
But keep in mind -- -- big US banks to have exposure to the big German banks Storch affect the big European banks -- spec.
Those banks have exposure to all the pigs countries if they start to experience problems and people start to default on their loans that won't work all over into the US markets as well.
Are you starting to see the impacts of tightening credit markets yet.
Not yet have not yet thank you let me been waiting for that for a long time because even covering the debt crisis for years at -- -- And we haven't seen it yet.
Certainly seeing that the dollar rallying because I would argue that the US is in the ninth -- if I can use a baseball now due for a recession in Europe's in the second or third inning.
So US appears to be the safe haven right now.
Kenneth I was mentioning that a timeframe on your outlook that for the remainder of the year and you really think the hangover will will.
Come away after after the year's over I don't I don't think so I think we'll know a lot more by -- especially with respect to the elections.
But it's gonna be around us for quite some time alright Kevin man -- talk to you thank you on her.

What is the best way to protect area lakes?
That is what Crow Wing County wants to discover. Tuesday, the county board approved a plan to apply for grant money to update its water plan, including ways to protect water quality. The plan was submitted by the Crow Wing Soil and Water Conservation District, which serves as the county's water plan adviser.
The Board of Soil and Water Resources invited the county to apply for grants as $150,000 has been set aside for counties in the process of updating water plans.
The SWCD reports that lakes cover nearly 14 percent of the county's surface area. The plan is to start with assessments of lakes greater than 1,000 acres as they are some of the most popular in the county and thus face greater stress on water quality, native species and habitat, the SWCD reported.
The 15 largest lakes in the county include some that cross county borders into Cass and Aitkin counties. The SWCD is proposing full assessments of those 15 lakes - Gull, Whitefish, Edward, North Long, Round, Upper South Long, Roosevelt, Platte, Serpent, Borden, Cross, Big Trout, Pelican, Bay and Hubert.
The SWCD wants to see what the water quality is like in the county and to develop specific strategies to improve it where needed. A joint application is planned with Aitkin and Cass counties, which were planning their own water updates. The SWCD will apply for grants totaling $20,000 to $25,000 per county. Aitkin County is expected to include Mille Lacs and Cedar lakes in their assessment plan.
Full lake assessments mean testing water quality using a state-certified lab and taking the influences of the larger watershed into consideration. The money includes costs for lab testing, staff time and educational projects.
Keith Pohl, SWCD district manager, said that in areas where water quality has been monitored, it will be a matter of coordinating data and making sure assessments have been completed. Pohl said the SWCD also wants to strengthen its working relationship with lake associations.
The county board approved a second grant application, which may be between $35,000 and $50,000, to monitor lakes between 500 and 1,000 acres. The SWCD would coordinate the plan using volunteer help and would look at lakes without water quality data already established.
The SWCD reported that the goal through it all will be to make sure that all the lakes 1,000 acres and greater are assessed for water quality and then work down to the smaller lakes.

The Office Season 9 – Regular Position for Clark Duke?
The news of The Office's impending sort-of-reboot and its countless losses, both behind the scenes and in front, have left me incredibly wary of anything and everything that comes out about the show's ninth season. The latest change coming to Season 9 is the potential addition of funnyman Clark Duke, known for his work on Greek and Sex Drive. This is exactly the type of casting decision that I'm doing my best to tiptoe around and not judge too quickly before I see it in action. Duke is wonderful comedic actor, and in all likelihood he could fit in quite well in the world of The Office.
related | THE OFFICE SEASON 9 TO TEASE THE FARM
It all comes down to how he is implemented, what kind of character the writers create for him, and just how Duke interprets that character. At one point, every character on The Office was superbly constructed and believable, but over the years they have become caricatures of their former selves. Even the newer characters introduced have had less depth to them. They would need to know exactly what kind of person Duke will be playing, especially if he is going to be a series regular as TVLine reported, so they can avoid having another Gabe or Erin. That's the last thing we need.
Of course, all of this will amount to nothing if Duke doesn't take the part. He's still negotiating a deal, though it's rare for a deal not to be struck once the process is started. It stands to reason Duke would be replacing Mindy Kaling, who has left to pursue her own show, though Paul Lieberstein has also left. Rainn Wilson could potentially be exiting the show to man an Office spinoff, and B.J. Novak won't be appearing as a regular anymore. It could turn out Duke will be a welcome presence of the once great Office, but it's hard to imagine anything could help pull this plane from its nosedive.

Well Mr. Citizen, I guess you have me figured out. I seem to fit neatly into the category you place me in. I'm stereotyped, characterized, standardized, classified, grouped, and always typical. I'm the "lousy cop." Unfortunately, the reverse isn't true. I can never figure you out.
From birth you teach your children that I am the bogeyman, and then you're shocked when they identify me with my traditional enemy, the criminal. You accuse me of coddling juveniles, until I catch your kid doing something. You may take an hour for lunch, and have several coffee breaks each day, but point me out as a loafer if you see me having just one cup.
You pride yourself on your polished manners, but think nothing of interrupting my meals at noon with your troubles. You raise [auto-filtered] about the guy who cuts you off in traffic, but let me catch you doing the same thing and I'm picking on you. You know all the traffic laws, but never got a single ticket you deserved. You shout "foul" if you observe me driving fast enroute to an emergency call, but literally raise [auto-filtered] if I take more than ten seconds responding to your call!!!
You call it "part of the job" if someone strikes me, but it's "police brutality" if I strike back. You wouldn't think of telling your dentist how to pull a badly decayed tooth, or your doctor how to take out your appendix, but you are always willing to give me a few pointers on law enforcement. You talk to me in a manner and use language that would assure a bloody nose from anyone else, but you expect me to stand and take it without batting an eye.
You cry, "Something has to be done about all the crime!" but you can't be bothered with getting involved.
You've got no use for me at all, but, of course, it's OK if I change a tire for your wife, or deliver your baby in the back seat of my patrol car on the way to the hospital, or save your son's life with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, or work many hours over-time to find your lost daughter.
So Mr. Citizen, you stand there on your soapbox and rant and rave about the way I do my job, calling me every name in the book, but never stop a minute to think that your property, your family, or maybe your life might depend on one thing, ME, or one if my buddies.
While I don't completely disagree with her post, I believe it's leaving out another very valid perspective. So, I wrote the following as a response. (Packing Mama suggested that I post it here, so here it is.)
Well Officer, I guess you have me figured out. I seem to fit neatly into the category you place me in. I'm stereotyped, characterized, standardized, classified, grouped, and always typical. I'm just a "cop hater." Unfortunately, the reverse isn't true. I can never figure you out.
As long as there has been law enforcement, police officers have taken oaths to uphold the law and the constitution, but you tell me that I should not exercise my rights when they are inconvenient for you. You say that you uphold the first amendment, but you are probably upset that I am writing this post. You claim to uphold the second amendment, but you don't like it when I insist on being armed as well as you. You claim to uphold the fourth amendment, but you insist on asking me if I have drugs and weapons in my car, just because I drove ten mph over the speed limit. You claim to uphold the fifth amendment, but you get angry when I refuse to answer your questions during a traffic stop. You claim to uphold the sixth amendment, but you have no problem with me waiting month after month for a court date to address something that you arrested me for. You claim to uphold the eighth amendment, but you use a taser on me when I insist on speaking to an attorney before consenting to your searches.
You are upset that some children fear you, but you detain and question my underage child without speaking to me about it.
You publicly ask us to slow our driving during bad weather, but then you write me a citation for driving five mph too slow during a snow storm.
You send a military-like force to kick down a door and invade a home, just to seize some marijuana, and then you call me a "pot-head sympathizer" if I question your tactics.
You claim that it's okay for you to speed because there is an emergency, but without your emergency lights on, you create as much danger as any other speeder. Also, you say that you are "trained" to safely drive at that speed, yet you don't think a professional racer's training excuses him from the speed limit.
Many of your fellow officers are true heroes, actually upholding the constitution and doing a fantastic job. But, not you. You behave in the ways listed above and you still expect me to automatically think you're a hero, just because you have a badge and a uniform. Well, Officer, badges and uniforms don't make heroes; character makes heroes.
But, what do I know? I'm just a "cop hater," right?
Please don't get me wrong. I have great respect for law enforcement in general, but I get tired of being expected to automatically consider them all to be heroes. Most of them are, but some are infringing on our liberty, which is unacceptable to me.

Dolphins are one of the smartest animals on Earth. They can perform tricks
and perform on command if they are taught by a human.
Dolphins usually grey, blackish, or brown , and are about 1-4 metres long.
Dolphins feed primarily on fish, and most of them are gregarious, appearing in
groups of a few to several hundred. A number of species are attracted by
moving ships, often accompanying them or leaping alongside and sometimes
riding the wave created by the moving bow. The bottle-nosed
dolphin, characterised by a "built-in smile" formed by the curvature of its mouth,
has become a familiar performer in oceanaria. It has also become the subject
of scientific studies because of its apparent intelligence and its ability to
communicate with its kind through a range of sounds and ultrasonic pulses.
Dolphins are the smartest animals alive,so Humans have studied them a lot over
the years.

A quick lesson in how to watch a game of football with Liverpool playing:1. Wait till it's fucking over...2. enjoy the 3 points...
When I watched Giraldo or whatever his name is taking the free kick, I thought it was going to go in because of the way the wall was set and Reina didn't cover his left side post. And it did result in a goal.
Give the fella on the gate £100 and he will let you in for nothing.

I think Skrtels done his medial ligament in his knee.If you need the oxygen mask on you're in some serious pain there.I hope it's not as bad as it looks, but when something like that happens, either the fabric of space-time rips apart and we all die, or, as in this case, Skrtel took one for us all and decided to blink when staring the universe down.I hope we have some decent cover at CB... oh wait...And lastly... fucken Torres missing that sitter.Sell the bastard and use the money to buy someone half decent... like Robinho... oh wait...
Journalist: Without giving any secrets away, how do you practice when you haven't got a six foot seven player in the squad? How on earth can you prepare? It's about beating him in the air, so we will use Mascherano against him!
replacing riera with benayoun.....what sense did that made?
Rafa made it so that you didn't give a shit which fucking ball emerged from Platini's jar.
There seems to be a great belief in this team at the moment, last year we would have lost that at half time. I still believe though our attacking strength is what will hold us in good stead, and i still think that first half Rafas selection was more to do with city than ourselves. However second half he made the right switches at the right times with Zabalata helping us along.But you cant knock that, im a happy bunny indeed.
I'd like us to step up and demonstrate the remorceless form that Chelsea have in the past, where 3 points is a given.Arsenal have never demonstrated that, and ManU normally don't at the start of the season. If we're going to beat Chelsea now's the time to pull ahead as they seem to be facing an injury crisis.
Really loved the match. We are now looking like a team. This is kind of comeback which shows the character of guys.
MOTM contenders Alsono, Kuyt, & Riera. Mascherano's worst game for us.
. That tackle was filthy - when Hughes and the City fans see it they can't really have any complaints.
A place full of grammer Nazi's?
'Grammar' and no apostrophe in 'nazis'.
our team spirit is absolutely immense, and all credit to Rafa for that.
We'll be able to register Sami for the CL once the group stages are over and with six points from the first two games we should qualify ok.Hope Skrtel's not out for too long. It'll be a month or the rest of the season.Great great game though.
I feel good.........
Made the winner with his build-up play, perhaps. Shut up.
Didn't see Martin use the Oxygen,as far as i know he bit the top off and shared it around.
Its all about winning shiny things.
To be honest I thought it was mistimed rather then dirty. Should be a red for sure, but if he gets it right its a great tackle.
I think they felt the pain in Skrtel's knee.
Hull City in 3rd place??? Blimey!!!
When was the last time we came back from 2 nil down in the Prem? I can recall a game against Fulham I think in Rafa's first season when that Senegal player (defensive mid) played the first half and was tripe, and I think we were two down at half time, but we came back to win it with Xabi scoring a cracker? Is my memory failing? Anyone help me out here?
Skrtel's injury looked horrible... hope it's not a serious knee injury. Looks like it could be though- I think he was given pain killer on the pitch as well so it must have been bad.
I'm really hoping Sturridge busts out the wacky dip when he scores.

It's Fox, not Faux, News Tomcat Teabagger. I wish you'd learn to spell correctly, your ignorance is showing again. By the way, your lie about Fox news and the "factual news" remark was disputed in another thread. Do you know how foolish you look when you can't even get your lies right?

It has many nice things for it's time, with the delay line memory, and the CRT being pretty advanced for their time. Also that it is RPN is interesting, considering that it was sold as a business device at the time. I lucked into a pile before a guy sold them to local hams for scrounging the 5" crt for ham shack duty, and still have 2 or 3 around. The crt system was actually a dropin as a module, and could be pulled from the calculator and used as an X-Y indicator or whatever quite easily (so I'm told), so many went that way, and were lost.

The ionizer Plus connects via a diverter valve to your kitchen faucet. With the valve in one position it routes the water through the machine. With the valve in the other position, you may use your sink as you normally would. The water routed through the ionizer first encounters the carbon portion of the filter where chlorine and chemicals are absorbed. Next it goes through a hollow-fiber membrane. This space-age filter filters out everything larger than .1 micron (one tenth of a micron), including all bacteria. This feature - exclusive to the Ionizer Plus - will eliminate such bacteria as e.Coli, giardia, and crypto sporidium.
Then the water is treated with low dose ultra violet, approximately 15,000 microwatts per square centimeter, to eliminate viruses. The bacteria has already been filtered out. Next, the water is treated with direct current creating electrolysis, or the splitting of oxygen and hydrogen. Although microfiltration and ultraviolet will yield safe, clean water, the electrolysis treatment is even more important. After converting household current to direct current, the water enters an electrolysis chamber where there is a series of electrodes separated by a membrane. This membrane allows calcium, potassium, and magnesium, which are cations, to be attracted to the cathode. The minerals at this point become ionized and, therefore, much more bio-available; otherwise, the inorganic minerals found in water are too large to absorb.
Next, the direct current breaks the covalent bond of the water. Water molecules cluster together at 12-14 molecules per cluster. This is sometimes known as surface tension. The ionizer Plus breaks the bond electronically resulting in water that is "wetter," more permeable, and more soluble. It hydrates the body about six times faster and deeper and acts as a transport mechanism for the minerals. The alkaline water also contains more available stable oxygen because hydrogen is given off at the cathode. Last, the charge of the water is changed. Typically tap water has a small electrical charge of about +400 millivolts. It is oxidative;which means rusts metals by oxidation or taking an electron away. The charge of the alkaline water is usually between -100 and -350 millivolts. In chemistry this is referred to as "reduced" meaning that it has an extra electron and donates it to free radicals in the body. This water has been written up in peer-reviewed journals as a superior antioxidant or free radical scavenger. If that isn't enough for one small machine, it also produces a water with an acidic ph at the same time. The machine produces about 1.5 gallons of water per minute, a gallon of alkaline and a half gallon of acidic water. The Ionizer Plus has a design life of about twelve years (similar to many appliances) The price, including filter changes, works out to be about 14 cents per gallon . . .a small price to pay for the daily use of a water unit that will dramatically improve your family's health.
Our 30-Day Money Back Guaranty: After you have been drinking the prescribed amount of water for 30 days, ask yourself "Is this water making a significant impact on my family's health?" If the answer is anything less than an enthusiastic, "yes!", then you may send the unit back for a full refund, less shipping costs.

Bubba Behind in Preparation
DORAL, Fla. -- The Masters is just five weeks away, and Bubba Watson is feeling behind in his preparation.

Well camping is fun, but camping in the fun wilderness of Kazakhstan with a bunch of Russians aka my family can be different. Check out those life saving tips for Russian campers; Bacon, we don't do "Skinny Camping"! Try to eat as much bacon as you can. The fat keeps you warm during the frosty night. You're hungry? Get that pony over here and make yourself a Kasa sausage, it's a specialty made out of horse-meat. YUM!
You will need Vodka, in case you're crossing a bear path you better wanna be drunk as fuck. If you're Russian you'll be trying to fight with the bear, of course! First you will try to trick the bear with a classical Russian dance to confuse the bear, then you attack the bear with your hands, you're Russian and drunk, you don't need any weapons.
So you're fighting with a three meter tall bear and you realize you're about to lose, that's your chance to do the dance again...okay that doesn't help, the bear will rip off your arm but that shit doesn't hurt you, remember you're Russian and drunk.
But let me get back to my 2nd night. I was pretty exhausted by drinking brandy & eating too much baby lamb. So I felt asleep like a little princess until my sister woke me up in the middle of the night to ask me if I heard that car stopping by? Fuck yeah, a car stopped by.
Just to make this clear, we are in the middle of fukn nowhere, no one stops by in the night, there are no people around. Sometimes you see a unicorn flying by, but that's about it.
The people in the car turned off their light & jumped out off it. The next thing I hear is a few guys are running around our tent. True story guys! I'm not kidding. So my little sister asked me what to do? And I was like, I dunno. I mean what can you do in this situation. I started thinking, but that took me too long. I was thinking about all the possibilities to scare a terrorist, meanwhile my sister felt asleep, but I was still awake. In the end I decided to play dead and I started praying.

"We are excited that businesses have stepped up to participate in this community effort," said OCSS Director Keith Horton. "This is an exciting opportunity to partner with the community to build stronger families and a stronger Georgia."
Applicants will have the opportunity to receive resume writing assistance, apply for and discuss employment opportunities, and learn about the Georgia Fatherhood Program. Over the past decade, OCSS has been working towards increasing the amount of parents who remain current on child support by creating the Fatherhood Program. The Fatherhood Program is used to help non-custodial parents who lack the economic capacity to make timely payments due to employment barriers, overcome those barriers. Some of the barriers include lack of a high school diploma or GED, no driver's license or transportation, alcohol and substance abuse, criminal records, and mental health issues. The program works with non custodial parents who are willing, yet unable to pay their support regularly. The Fatherhood Program generally takes three to six months to complete and serves both fathers and mothers who are non-custodial parents. The participants are required to work at least 20 hours per week while enrolled in the program and pay child support. Upon completion of the program, participants receive assistance in obtaining full-time employment at a livable wage.

Report: Piquet Sr. and Jr. sue Briatore for libel
Report: Piquet Sr. and Jr. sue Briatore for libel
March 31 2010
British newspaper the
Daily Mail
reports that Nelson Piquet Jr. and his three-time World Champion father, Nelson Piquet Sr., have launched a libel suit in the UK's High Court against former Renault F1 boss Flavio Briatore, who also served as the younger Piquet's manager in his brief F1 career. The Piquets are seeking £200,000 ($300,000) in damages, according to the paper.
The lawsuit is based on a press release issued by Briatore which accused the two Piquets of giving false evidence to the FIA and consequently blackmailing Renault F1.
Briatore had previously indicated he intends to pursue legal action of his own against the Piquets in both France and Britain.

This home in North Laguna Beach just can't seem to sell.
A private compound, this home at 42 Smithcliffs Road has been sitting on the market, unsold, for approximately 354 days.
It was designed by favored Laguna Beach architect Mark Singer and has 4 bedrooms, 6 baths and sits on a 27,603-square-foot lot.
Yes, the price is steep at $12,500,000 million, but it's reduced from $14,999,000 and this isn't your average home.
So what's wrong with it?
Well from the photos alone, the home is beautiful, but I have two theories for why this listing isn't moving.
I understand that the home doesn't have ocean views and some buyers don't require their future home to have them, but this house is south of Coast Highway and it seems weird to not have a view.
With the issue of the view aside, I don't think many people would be willing to pay $200 in HOA dues a month, let alone $1,150.
Who knows, I could be wrong.
South coast city home sales up 17% over last June
$17.7 million Montage estate goes into escrow
Don't expect $1 million to buy you much in Laguna Beach
18 San Clemente homes headed to auction
More foreclosures, short sales in these south coast cities
Residents plagued with Mello-Roos drama in San Juan community
Homes selling much quicker in this south coast city
San Clemente mansion with elevator in default, for sale
$14.5 million fixer-upper hits Laguna Beach market
Dana Point condo captures both sunrise and sunset views
How many millions could this Laguna view be worth?
'Backyard' snatched up for a couple million bucks
Realtors team up to build home for veterans
Would you pay $4.5 million for a backyard?
4 more Dana Point homes headed to auction
These south coast ZIPs see consistent home sales
Could new law protecting tenants from foreclosure be 'abused'?
Fewer Laguna homeowners getting tax breaks
4 more Laguna Beach homes headed to auction
It should come down 50% of it price.
the owner is dreaming.
Only 12,500,000 reasons why it won't sell.
Only $12,500,000.00 plus $1150.00 a month is a good reason why it wont sell. The HOA where I use to live in Fountain Valley was only $60.00 a month. Maybe because I lived there for $20.00 years and they never raised the price on me.
Haha…I meant 20 years, not $20.00 years.
It's always the price, because at the right price, the view and the HOA will not matter. The crummy market is only crummy for the seller. It's a great market for buyers.
Why would someone want to pay that much and deal with the traffic congestion common in Laguna and the limited access to transportation corridors and get a view that they could easily find for 1/10th the price in Nellie Gail or Dove Canyon?
They can't do anything about the view, so all that can be done is lower the price.
Really can't do much with HOA's for that area, but you can do something about reducing the asking price. It boils down to "how bad do they really want to sell". Don't get me wrong, it is beautiful, but I think common sense went out the door here in South County 20 years ago. That not only goes for the homeowners, but the real estate companies and agents also. Stop dreaming and use some common sense. Now that is a concept isn't it? Good Luck!

Arizona woman complicit in Baby Gabriel case gets 30 days in jail, probation
CNN — An Arizona woman was sentenced Friday to probation and 30 days in jail following her conviction for being complicit in the case of the boy known as Baby Gabriel, who was last seen in 2009.
In May, Tammi Smith was found guilty of forgery and conspiracy to interfere with the custody of Gabriel Johnson when he was then 8 months old. Prosecutors argued she tried to help the infant's mother, Elizabeth Johnson, wrangle custody of the boy from his father, Logan McQueary, in order to adopt the little boy herself.
Smith addressed the court Friday, admitting that she helped Johnson and helped care for Gabriel for nine days. She began with a lengthy discussion of her Christian faith and criticism of "certain people hiding behind fake profiles on the internet" and others who have maligned her.
Smith, 40, eventually apologized for any "pain and suffering" that helping Johnson may have caused, even as she firmly insisted that her intentions were good.
"I never intended to hurt anybody," Johnson said, adding that she just wanted to help a single mother who she felt was in need. "I pray every day that Gabriel is alive and that he is found."
But Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Kreamer questioned whether Smith truly accepted what she'd done, in denying the boy's father access and forging another person's name on a document to again hinder the father's rights to the child.
"There are times in the world that it's important to simply say I am sorry. You can look to the McQuearys to say what happened to you is awful, I'm sorry. ... I didn't hear that from you," the judge said.
Noting Smith was not convicted for anything to do with Baby Gabriel's disppearance, Kreamer also said that it is not criminal for her to assume that the boy's father was wrong and Johnson was right.
"But it is a crime when you set out to harm somebody's right to their child, and without knowing everything," he said.
The judge read out a statement from McQueary himself, which he said he took into account in deciding a sentence. The boy's father said he wanted Smith to see "the pain" she had caused by her "immaturity and actions," while adding, "I don't believe putting Tammi Smith in jail would serve any purpose and is not the answer."
Kreamer ended up sentencing Smith to 30 days in jail on one count, plus a deferred 30-day jail sentence on the other count that he said she'd likely not serve. She also faces two three-year probation sentences for each conviction.
Johnson herself is still awaiting trial on charges of kidnapping, custodial interference and child abuse. She allegedly told the father she killed the infant and put his body in a garbage bin, but later told police she drove from her home in Arizona to Texas and gave him to a couple she met in a San Antonio park.
She later told police she handed over the child under Smith's direction, and prosecutors said that Smith falsely wrote the name of her cousin on a paternity document to falsely assert that he -- and not McQueary -- was Gabriel's father.

Death of a Product Manager
There will be no chuckles or laughs in this post.
Why? Because it is about a serious topic – how a DECENT company deals with the death of one of its employees.
The Cranky Product Manager has a bit of first-hand experience here. It was long ago, but the wounds are still fresh. Let's just say that DysfunctoSoft handled some of it well, and some of it was handled just horribly. Enough that people still talk about it.
So, managers and execs, listen up. In the unexpected and unfortunate event that an employee dies, keep the following in mind.
1. If the employee died in the office, hire some grief counselors and bring them onsite the very next day. Maybe you should requirethat the people who actually found the dying employee (or tried to help/revive him/her) spend at least 30 minutes in a room with a grief counselor, even if they say they do not need it.
2. If you are the manager of this employee, be decent and either call or meet with the spouse or next of kin yourself. If you knew the employee pretty well, you are most likely the most appropriate person to break the news. Don't be a wussy and leave this to some anonymous HR person. BE SENSITIVE. If you have difficulty being sensitive, ask someone who IS sensitive what you should say. And don't delay!
3. When the time is right, ask the next of kin about funeral arrangements and ask if co-workers might attend.
4. If co-workers are invited, allow employees to attend the funeral. If you don't give them time off, well you're just an asshole.
5. If the employees manager is at a different location, have him/her travel to the funeral. If the employee was particularly close to workers at remote locations, perhaps offer to pay for travel for these other workers.
6. Stop worrying about "setting precedent" with regard to offering benefits or assistance to the family. Just do the fucking right thing, okay? Hint: if you use "setting precedent" as an excuse, more than likely you're being a douchebag and NOT doing the right thing.
7. As the manager (or other point of contact for the family), keep in touch with the family over the next month or so. At least once a week. Ask how they are doing, what you can do to help them out.
Realize that despite the awkwardness, the next of kin might need to immediately learn about financial matters (such as last paychecks, medical benefits, life insurance, pensions, stock, etc). Some people live paycheck to paycheck, and the stress of figuring out their future financial situation is one thing you CAN do for the family during a time like this. The family also needs to figure out how to get the deceased's personal effects back and how to return company property the deceased employee had at home.
8. Please, be decent and extend COBRA benefits to the widow(er) and dependent children for at least 18 months at no cost to the family.
9. Have someone set up a fund with the bank where people can make donations for the support of the deceased's children. Publicize it through the company, but don't strong arm people into donating. And maybe make the donations anonymous so that the family doesn't have to write thankyou notes (another detail that they must attend to at a very hard time for them).
10. Send flowers. For employees who cannot make the funeral, allow them to write notes of condolence and deliver them to the family.
11. When packing up the employees stuff and returning it, please be sensitive and respect his/her privacy.
12. Don't move another employee directly into the deceased employee's cube or office. Leave it empty for a while. It might be a good place to store server equipment and such in the meantime.

A few words about collaborating with Rackspace
Submitted by florian on Wed, 2012-12-12 15:22
Earlier today, we announced a case study describing some of the work we've been doing with Rackspace in recent months, and this is a good opportunity to add some personal thoughts.
In dealing with Rackspace, we've come to the impression that their reputation as an excellent service provider (and employer) is extremely well deserved. Pretty much everyone we interacted with was enormously professional, brilliant, and passionate about their work. I'm sure you can follow my reasoning about just how exceptional they are when I tell you that even their legal team was and is a pleasure to work with.
And besides that, they have been excellent in driving, and then deliberately letting go of, OpenStack. Troy Toman — one of those delightful Rackers that we had the pleasure to interact with personally — summed it up nicely in his OpenStack Summit keynote from September: they're taking pride in the fact that Rackspace's participation in OpenStack, in terms of relative code contribution, is declining (although I'm rather positive that in terms of absolute lines of code or features added, it's still on the rise, just because OpenStack is growing so darn fast). That's a really strong testament to a platform that has managed to scale corporate walls and create its own vibrant and thriving community.
Rackspace were also kind enough to give us a tour of their Rackspace Open Cloud offering when it first went public, and I would strongly encourage you to take a look if you're currently running on any other public cloud, or planning to do so. They've put together a simple-yet-elegant UI in front of a massive OpenStack infrastructure, and if you're at all interested in the cloud, you should by all means give it a whirl.
Relative to the Herculean effort that the Rackspace team has thrown behind the largest public OpenStack cloud to date, our contribution in the infrastructure HA space was surely a minor one. But it's great to be a part of this. Thanks guys, for the pleasure of being able to work with you.

Body PiercerA. Campbell needs some tattoo shops
that's pretty fabulous http://www.tfsale.net
Body PiercerA. Campbell needs some tattoo shops. And places where young kids can hang out and not have to go into San Jose or all the way up to San Francisco to have some fun. I was in the state of Virginia the fall and happened into a Finks store. A good 3 showcases were nothing but Yurman items. There is a minimum amount a store must display in order to be a Yurman seller. The sterling silver links on an authentic item are solid and soldered smooth. On fake items, the links are pinched together and have uneven gaps. Link bracelets and necklaces come in only one size and can only be sized by a Tiffany jeweler. Reilly makes gymnastics fun for his students. "I enjoy coaching gymnastics," he says. "It's not a real job and you get to wear shorts to work. The film will star AnnaSophia Robb, Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, Kevin Sorbo and Lorraine Nicholson.

Monash Warriors
Monash University
Wellington Road Clayton
The Warriors Gridiron Club was founded in 1987 by the late James White. Originally named the Nunawading Warriors, the club won the minor premiership in 1988, however were eliminated in the finals series with two consecutive losses. The Warriors would have to wait a decade before they returned to the finals series, which happened in 1998 with a semi final loss to the now defunct Banyule Panthers. From this point, the Warriors have been the pre-eminent team in Gridiron Victoria, going on to play finals football every year except 2003 and winning 7 of the 10 Vicbowls they have contested since 2000. With the most recent win in 2010, the Warriors performed a 3-peat of State Championships.
The Warriors Junior program has also had great success in winning in 2003 and most recently in 2009 Junior Championship.
Located now at Monash University in Clayton, The clubs is always looking for new players, coaches and support staff. There is no need to be Monash Student to join.
Our Mission Statement:
"The Warriors Gridiron Football Club is a forum for the community to enjoy and gain exposure to the sport of American Football. We play the game with pride, and believe in being excellent in all that we do, from on field performance, socialising and through to the development of our people. We are here to support all of our members and their families."

The Pursuit of Academic Distinctiveness
Well, it is week two of my blog and we are in the process of arranging a couple of meetings before the deliverables are finalized.
The first meeting is with various senior administrators from the advisory group to finalize the expected deliverables and outcomes of the initiative. The second meeting is with the Research Subcommittee to discuss the research methods, various target populations, sample sizes, approach, etc.
This two-step process is critical prior to officially implementing the search phase (Phase 1) of the Academic Distinctiveness Project, as it will ensure a shared goal, clear expectations, and a university-wide perspective – a critical milestone prior to implementation.
This will also allow us a more definitive and comprehensive timeline and project outline for when all are back in the fall. As with many summer schedules, this has been a bit of challenge to schedule, but worth the wait before the implementation of the research phase.
Why the above is critical, according to Fisher (1998), In the Industrial Age, a work characterized by hierarchical organizations that relied on management direction and organizational departmentalization to provide order and consistency.
"Unlike rational organizational structures of the past, organizations now need to rely on employee empowerment rather than management control and direction. Team organizations have created work structures that are more democratic and flexible with a common mission of sharing responsibility for results and decisions between management and workers. The ideal team is characterized by a global rather than departmental focus. Problems are controlled at the source rather than by a separate policy function. Continuous improvement is highly valued. Self-managing teams are said to be the key to leaner and more flexible organizations capable of adjusting rapidly to changes in the environment and technology."
I believe that when working within a team environment, we need not only to look at the structural perspective, as I mentioned above, but also the cultural and the political perspectives as well. The structural perspective is the easiest, the cultural gets into the aspects of symbols and norms, which motivate the company.
However, the political perspective tends to elude inexperienced managers greatly! Gatekeepers, information bottleneck, entrenched employees, shadow management styles, etc. I believe that in order for an individual to really impact teamwork, he/she should focus on all three perspectives, or he/she will find it more difficult than expected.
As for a team supporting team work, you need to find the motivation of each person, which are not always universal. Furthermore, it could be the last thing you expect. So take the time, find out and you will be amazed how much you see if you look through all three of the lenses.
Other Musings
During this process, I have been discussing with our Dean of Faculty about the dynamics of the teams that we are bringing together for this project. I wanted to support my claim that it is important to remember that every time a team is put together, even though teams go through the following stages: 1. Forming – team members are introduced; 2. Storming – the team transitions from "as is" to "to be"; 3. Norming – the team reaches consensus on the "to be" process; 4. Performing – the team has settled its relationships and expectations; and 5. Adjourning – the team shares the improved processes with others—that without "Adjourning" the first four stages do not matter, as it will be work in a vacuum.
"A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the
right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if
we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would
continue to open their wallets."
- Steve Jobs

Is the Hong Kong market considered in the public awareness of UIU?
Dr. Eicher, thank you very much for taking the time to read and respond to my blog. With respect to your question, we are hoping to have a comprehensive understanding of our market, and that does include all of our international centers, and not just Hong Kong. Part of my blog stated that we are to have a preliminary meeting with Administrators to align expectations, and the Interim Vice President of International Programs (IP) will be present at that meeting. I will be counting on him to help me and the research team designs the next steps and ensures IP representation. Again, thank you for your continued interest.

I have been on gabapentin 800 mg. in the evening for nearly 15 years. I tried Lyrica and it was not as helpful. Gabapentin is available in generic also which I prefer, it is very cheap.
I felt very "drunk" while increasing the dose, I went up much more slowly than you are. I only went up 300 mg. a week, once a day. My doctor said her pain patients are doing fine taking it once a day. That way you do sleep better. It helps my RLS symptoms also. I found that once I got up to 1800 mg. per day and stayed there for awhile, I could slowly decrease it and have been maintained fine on a lower dose.
Best of luck to you.
Take care, Annette
I'm glad I saw your post ,I always believe in telling your Dr. exactly how these meds are affecting you!Any side effects,problems,concerns????EVERYBODY is different and someof us cannot take some meds!

What I find interesting is that Hillary Clinton, who led the Democrats who voted 'yes' to war with Iraq, makes no mention of Iraq 'actually having' nuclear weapons. In fact, looking forward, if you are concerned about needless wars, you could substitute the word Iran almost every time she mentions Iraq. Of course we learned from Iraq and we don't know that Iran has the bomb, but what if they pull off a successful test...then what?
You may recall that a Democrat led Senate, that could have stopped Bush, passed the war powers resolution, 77-23.

You and I agree to some extent. I am one of a growing number of people that believe it is time to start downsizing our government and government employees on all levels possible. I think we could do ok with a smaller on duty force and bring on volunteers as needed. If you take the 150 firemen and divide it by the number of fires a week something just does not add up.
I agree with you to a certain extent. Yes, the city could stand to downsize a bit. That said, pick and choose wisely. Our firefighters put out fires. They also answer calls for "possible" fires and things of that sort and paramedic calls. Next time an elder falls and can't get up, or dad has a heart attack, or little Johnny manages to mangle his hand in the weed eater, who's going to respond in our downsized city? Cut someplace else, there are plenty of big mouthed broad butts at city hall who should retire.

I wanted an antique look to my bedroom and this fitted the theme. When it arrived (only 4 days after ordering even though I am in the Scottish Highlands!) it was well packaged and really easy to fit to the divan on my own. It looks far more stunning in real life than in the picture! Absolutely thrilled with it. Everyone who sees it says it looks very posh! Very, very pleased!

Padres look to snap two-game skid
Chicago (28-24) at San Diego (33-21), 7:05 p.m., PT
The Padres look to their winningest pitcher, Adam Eaton, to right the ship Friday night when the right-hander takes his 7-1 record to the PETCO Park mound against the Cubs' Sergio Mitre.
Losing for the second night in a row as the surging Cubs won their seventh straight, the Padres found little life in an offense that had boomed all through May. For the second straight night, a lefty -- this time Glendon Rusch -- kept their bats silent, holding them to four hits. It was Milwaukee southpaw Doug Davis who tied them in knots the night before. Manager Bruce Bochy gave Brian Giles the night off in right field, and the Padres missed his glove, as well as his offense. His replacement in right field, Miguel Ojeda, was unable to reach a ball in right-center driven by Rusch in the third inning, with the ensuing double paving the way for a two-run inning. The Cubs' Nos. 3 and 4 hitters, Derrek Lee and Jeromy Burnitz, combined for six hits and three walks, scoring three runs and driving home two. Eaton will try to figure out a way to contain Lee, who is batting .389 and leading the National League in homers (17) and RBIs (50), as well as batting average and runs scored (43).

Ramon Hernandez is 1-for-3 with a homer against Mitre, and Robert Fick has a single and walk in two at-bats against the right-hander. Quotable
"I've always said Bruce is one of the three best managers I've ever gone against. He gets everything he can out of a team. That dude is sharp. It says a lot that he's been here as long as he has. That's no easy feat." -- Cubs manager Dusty Baker on longtime rival Bruce Bochy of the Padres On the Internet
