Kim Mathers is no friend of Court. Between 2000 and 2004, she�s been charged several times under different circumstances.
In April 2000, Kim drove with a revoked driving licence and she received a second drunken conviction.
Then in June 2000, Kim got in trouble again at Hot Rocks Cafe. As a consequence of the incident with John Guerra, she was charged for distubing the peace.
Marshall filed for divorce on June the 22nd 2000 and Kim attempted suicide on July the 7th. But she soon got into trouble again : on the 4 th of August 2000, Kim had a severe argument with her twin sister Dawn.. She hit her and was accused of assaulting her.
In October 2000, she pleaded guilty in Court to her disorderly conduct charge.
It is known that Marshall accepted to pay $15,000 for her legal fees. Kim had to go to an Alcoholocic Anonymous meeting every week. Appearently, it didn�t help a lot.
In July 2001, Kim was caught travelling with an unauthorized substance (less than 25 g cocain) in her car in Harrisson Township. She was walking down with a friend when the police controlled her vehicle and found the white powedered substance in her car.
Kim was charged with possession of cocaine.
Kim risked up to four years jail sentencce if she was convicted, but the lawsuit was dismissed five months later, according to the Michigan Court legal documents.
On June the 17th 2002, Judith and Douglas Schlabach filed a lawsuit against Kim. She had her truck stolen in June 2001 and the person who was driving it, Adam Erik Jenkins caused damages greater than 25 000 $. Jenkins had taken Kim�s truck without permission and caused an accident on 32 Mile Road.
As long as we don�t learn our lesson, we are condamned to repeat the same mistakes again and again.
In June 2003, during Eminem�s European Anger Management Tour, Kim was arrested in Saint Clair Shores by the police who found some cocaine again in her car. This event caused a lot of disagrement to Marshall who took a private jet during his tour to file a request for Hailie�s full custody. He was worried about the fact Kim could face some possible jail charges.
In September 2003, Kim appeared before a judge, but she missed two Court dates and was under electronic house arrest.
But Kim really worried her whole entourage when she suddenly disappeared in November 2003 without anybody knowing where she was. She was found by the police about three weeks later.
Kim was judged recently and faces two years of probation. She will have to stay drug and alcohol free during
3 comments
sucks for her
I'm my opinion I truly believe Marshall and Kim are only good when together but on the same note they should seek therapy for there painful words to or about each other, venting your problems in your marriage for millions of people to pick sides to who is the bad guy. Marshall's fame came fast I don't think either were prepared for notoriety fame and fortune. As both come from poor backgrounds as many of us are, that I can relate to. Marshall adds a lot of his life in his music, yrs we love his music but when you really listen there's a lot going on. My point I don't think either will find a love that they share. A live hate relationship that with the right therapy could be the end of the beginning for both. Neither have settled down in another meaningful relationship that tells you there not ready to fully let the other go for good. So I will continue to pray for there family hopefully they will either both go on and find love or realize there still in love. This is my 1000 word essay on the Mathers family. BREAK THE CYCLE!

Tyson Foods Buys Bosco's Pizza of Michigan
Posted 1/20/2014 01:42 pm
Updated 11 months ago
Tyson Foods Inc. of Springdale has bought the assets of Bosco's Pizza Co. of Warren, Mich., the companies said in a news release Monday. The terms of the sale, completed on Saturday, weren't disclosed.
Bosco's, which is known for "The Original Bosco Stick," makes a variety of stuffed breadsticks and frozen pizzas. It serves the food service sector and retail customers throughout the Midwest and some retailers nationwide.
Bosco's employs about 150 people, who will now become employees of Tyson Foods.
"This is part of our company's strategic plan to grow our domestic prepared foods business," said Donnie King, Tyson Foods' president of prepared foods, customer and consumer solutions. "Bosco's will be a good addition to our diversified portfolio of quality food offerings."
Tyson is the largest supplier of pepperoni and pizza toppings to the food service industry, the company says.
Craig Mulhinch, vice president of Bosco's sales and marketing, and Paul Morgan, vice president of Bosco's operations, will continue to manage the day-to-day operations. Bosco's will become part of Tyson Foods' Prepared Foods division, but continue to operate under the Bosco's Pizza Co. name. Customer contacts will not change, the news release said.
"This is a great opportunity for the Bosco's brand," Mulhinch said. "We've put a lot of effort into creating high-quality products and Tyson Foods has recognized that. This deal will allow us to accelerate our growth while we continue to focus on the fundamentals of making excellent artisan bread products. We're excited about joining the Tyson team."

Diamonds are an industrialist's best friend?
Applied Optics, Vol. 29, Issue 20, pp. 2976-2977 (1990)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (196 KB)
Bombarding gases with microwaves in a reactor is one way to create diamond crystals with a wide variety of industrial uses. Diamonds are superior conductors of heat and sound, resistant to abrasion, as slick as Teflon, and they can be used to conduct electricity at high voltages. This note, reprinted by permission from The New York Times of 21 Feb. 1990, discusses the making of diamond coatings.

The Reconquista (AD 722 - 1492)
Digital Art
Drawings & Paintings
The Reconquista (AD 722 − 1492)
Few if any could have foreseen the storm which came thundering across the Middle East from AD 633 onward. Fuelled by the religious zeal of the new faith of Islam, the Arab tribes − no longer scattered and divided − broke out of their isolation on the Arabian Peninsula and fell as conquerors upon Byzantine Syria and the Sassanid Empire. Within ten years time, the Arab hordes had smashed the Sassanids and claimed Persia in the name of Islam whereas in the west, Syria and Egypt had already fallen with equal efficiency, respectively in 638 and 642. Starting in 647, the Arab storm dashed further west across North Africa and less than fifty years later, Arab eyes beheld the Atlantic Ocean and the Straits of Gibraltar.
Resistance to Islam in North Africa was nevertheless fierce: the region and its people had been Christian for centuries and Byzantine-Roman power had been firmly restored since the defeat of the Vandals in 533. Furthermore, none of the Berber tribes − neither those who lived in cities and were loyal to Constantinople, nor the nomads which had opposed the Roman reconquest of Africa − were willing to welcome the invading forces of Islam. In any case, resistance proved pointless as the Byzantines were defeated and the Berbers conquered and largely converted. By 705, the entirety of the Maghreb had been subdued and pacified.
Next, the Arabs received news of the crisis tearing apart the Visigoth Kingdom in Iberia across the Straits of Gibraltar. Poised for new conquests, an army of around 7,000 converted Berbers crossed the Straits from Ceuta into Iberia in 711. After an easy victory at Jerez La Frontiera, the Muslims advanced largely unopposed to the royal abode of Toledo. With the help of 18,000 reinforcements, Muslim forces then raced north and captured Zaragoza within two years, occupied Catalonia, crossed the Pyrenees and invaded Septimania. Almost all of Iberia had been conquered by 718, although the Muslims failed to subdue the continued Christian resistance in the mountainous north. This allowed the Christians to found the Kingdom of Asturias that same year, launching a guerrilla campaign under their new King Pelayo and scoring a first humble victory at the Battle of Covadonga in 722 − the starting point of the
, the Christian bid to reclaim Iberia and cast the Muslims back into Africa.
Islam's rampage across Europe was finally halted in 732 at the famous Battle of Tours, where the Frankish forces of Charles Martel ('The Hammer') smashed the amassed Muslim forces of the Umayyad Caliphate, subsequently driving them back across the Pyrenees. Septimania was liberated in 751 and in 795, the Franks themselves crossed the Pyrenees under Charlemagne and established the Spanish March, which existed alongside the Kingdom of Asturias and protected Western Europe from renewed Muslim invasions. Resistance forces in the Spanish March, battling both the Franks and the Muslims, eventually allowed for the emergence of the Christian Kingdoms of Navarre (925) and Aragon (1035).
The Muslims never truly built a centralised state in Iberia, which they called Al-Andalus (Arabic: الأندلس), a name which already appeared on golden coins a few years after the 711 invasion. In the vast territories of their Iberian periphery they established marches and turned to indirect rule: the 'high march' (centred on Zaragoza) was ruled by a Visigoth vassal, the 'middle march' (centred on Toledo and subsequently in 946 on Medinaceli) was the battleground where Christian and Muslim raiding parties clashed time and again, the 'lower march' consisted of Extremadura and the central portion of future Portugal and was under a military government based at Merida. As the centuries progressed, Islamisation of Iberia's native population kicked in: by the end of the eighth century, only one in eight people living in Iberia was Muslim; at the end of the ninth century one fifth had become Muslim; at the end of the tenth century, Muslims made up one third of Iberia's population.
Muslim settlement of Iberia nevertheless had its fair share of internal dissent and struggles. The first wave of settlers had been Arabs from Northern Arabia, whom dominated the cities and enjoyed major privileges. Later waves of settlers were largely Arabs from Southern Arabia, whom had been adept at agriculture in their homeland and thus took over the Iberian countryside. They were called 'new Muslims'. Among these people were sizeable numbers of North African people whom had been converted to Islam and absorbed into the Arab armies as they advanced west. Many Berbers settled in the countryside of Central Iberia, where they could continue their old way of life as cattle farmers. Other Berbers settled the regions of Murcia and Valencia, where they farmed by means of extensive irrigation, thus keeping alive the ancient Roman and Visigoth ways of agriculture.
Only one group hailed the Muslims as liberators of Iberia: the Jews. Having been ruthlessly persecuted under the Christian Visigoth government, they could henceforth live in considerable freedom and tolerance to their religion and customs, allowing their communities to prosper. The Christians themselves, though numerically superior and often less than sympathetic to their new masters, were also allowed remarkable freedom: Christian places of worship remained intact and functioned as before, the bishops were respected and Christian communities were given both far-going autonomy and the right to retain their Visigoth jurisdiction. Christians were considered 'tributary' (Arabic: ذمة,
) to the Muslim lordship and − although they typically did not convert to Islam − in time many of them adapted their way of life, language and clothing to the Arabic culture. They were called
(Arabic: مستعرب,
). Those Christians who did convert to Islam did not gain any of the privileges or status of the original Muslims, though conversion definitely granted better chances at climbing the ladder of Muslim society, albeit always as a client.
The Muslims divided their Iberian core territory into provinces, modelled on the ancient Roman dioceses, and already in 716 made Córdoba their capital. Initially, power was vested in governors who answered to the rulers in Cairo and through them, the Caliph of Baghdad. However, the fall of the Umayyad Caliphate in 750 allowed for the
de facto
independence of Islamic realms in the Maghreb and Iberia. The latter fell under the control of the Umayyad descendant Abd ar-Ramhan, who managed to establish the Emirate of Córdoba in 756. After decades-long uprisings among the 'new Muslims' in the mountainous southern provinces, Abd ar-Ramhan III in 929 proclaimed the Caliphate of Córdoba, strengthening his legitimacy as Umayyad descendant towards both the rebellious groups of Iberia and the Abbasid Caliph of Baghdad.
Meanwhile in the north of Iberia, the Christian kingdoms consolidated and plotted to realise their greatest ideal: the
. However, at the dawn of the tenth century they still had a very long way to go before being able to overpower the Muslims. The more than impressive cultural and economical achievements of Europe's two superpowers, Islamic Al-Andalus and Orthodox Christian Byzantium, overshadowed anything the Latin Christian West had yet been able to accomplish. The combined power of Iberia's Christian kingdoms had no means of rivalling Al-Andalus in the least.
In the countryside of Andalusia, Murcia and Valencia, agricultural production skyrocketed as a result of efficient use of irrigation while exports of spices, sugar, cotton, linen, grain, rice, wine and fruits brought untold riches and economic prosperity. Between 750 and 930, Córdoba's treasuries increased from 300,000 to a staggering 5,480,000
while the city itself developed into a metropolis with around 500,000 people, 3,000 mosques and 300 public baths. Its splendour was only outclassed by the might of Constantinople and matched by that of Baghdad and ultimately Cairo. By comparison, the cities of Latin Christian Europe typically housed little over a few hundred, sometimes a few thousand people and were of hardly any importance yet.
Relations between Al-Andalus and the Byzantine Empire were generally friendly, as both empires profited from mutual trade. Even with the coastal cities of the Latin West Córdoba maintained contacts which varied between formal trade relations and outright raids. Most importantly, the immense extent of the Islamic world allowed for
de facto
free trade from Iberia to the eastern reaches of Persia, where Muslim forces were about to enter the Indian subcontinent. Contacts with the Far East thus became possible and cherished luxuries like silk and exotic spices made their way to Córdoba itself. These in turn allowed for the birth of pharmacology, in which the Arab scholars drew knowledge from and advanced the works of the Ancient Greek writers. The Muslims are thus credited with the creation of medicines based on natural gum, sugar, musk, nutmeg, clove and many others. The syrups and elixirs (Arabic: شراب,
, الإكسير,
) they created saved the lives of thousands in Al-Andalus whom would have died in the Latin West.
Already in the eighth century, Islamic merchants used financial techniques the Latin West would adopt only centuries later: companies, credits, transfer and deposit of money, payment per cheque and reinvestment of capital. Muslims, Christians and Jews lived in harmony and tolerance alongside each other in the prosperous cities of Al-Andalus, where merchants worked to create fabled luxury products such as leather and metal ornaments, weapons, glass, paper, ceramics, silk -and textile carpets, etc. The court of Córdoba became one of the most prestigious places in the known world, housing the Great Mosque of La Mezquita and a legendary library of close to 400,000 bands (dwarfing the greatest libraries of the Latin West, Avignon and the Sorbonne, which in the fourteenth century held a mere 2,000 combined).
However, the magnificence of Al-Andalus was not to last. At the dawn of the eleventh century, the Caliphate of Córdoba plunged into a major succession crisis which resulted in nothing short of anarchy: the Caliphate was formally dissolved in 1031 and fell apart into so-called Taifas (Arabic:
, splinter kingdoms which each claimed a portion of Al-Andalus. The Christian kingdoms had long awaited an opportunity of this magnitude and seized it with both hands: King Alfonso IV of León-Castile launched a major campaign into Muslim territory, recapturing significant swathes of Iberia and enforcing tribute upon the Muslims. In 1085, Christian forces reconquered the key city of Toledo. Faced with increasing Christian successes, the rulers of Seville, Badajoz and Málaga called for help from Yusuf ben-Tasfin, the leader of a confederation of Berber tribes in Morocco which lived by puritan Islamic traditions: the Almoravids (Arabic: المرابطون,
). Having founded Marrakesh in 1070, they secured much of Morocco and conquered Tlemcen, Oran, Algiers and Ceuta. Between 1086 and 1114, the Almoravids succeeded in subduing the Taifa-kingdoms of Al-Andalus and subsequently advanced north into Catalonia and Aragon. Thus Al-Andalus was reunited under a powerful central government which halted the Christian
However, the Almoravids' religious dedication – not to say fanaticism – quickly made them unpopular: where Muslims, Christians and Jews had been living and working together for as long as the oldest man alive could remember, the Almoravids now introduced a far stricter Islamic regime which could generally count on little sympathy from all three religious groups. Furthermore, the Christian kingdoms in the north seemed less than impressed by the Almoravid rule of Al-Andalus, despite their earlier setbacks and continued interaction beyond the ideological and religious differences which drove the
. Between 1125 and 1126, Alfonso I of Aragon led his armies deep into Al-Andalus and advanced as far south as Málaga, recapturing little territory but proving that Christian power had become great enough to challenge its enemies at will.
In 1147 the Almoravid Dynasty was overthrown in its Moroccan homeland, provoking the nobility of Al-Andalus to do the same. However, a new confederation of Berber tribes emerged, one far more fanatical than the Almoravids had been and one which held 'jihad' (Arabic:
) to be its principal ideal. They called themselves the Almohads (Arabic: الموحدون,
), the 'unitarists', and were driven by religious fanaticism and intolerance to any who believed differently, both within and beyond Islam. The Almohad leader Abd al-Mu'min proclaimed himself Caliph, reunited the Berber tribes of the Maghreb and led an expedition into Iberia already in 1147, successfully capturing Seville, Córdoba, Jaen, Málaga, Granada and Almería and establishing Almohad rule in Iberia. From 1172 onward, the Almohads ruled Al-Andalus unopposed and proved themselves as efficient administrators and organisers, effectively reconsolidating Al-Andalus in the face of the increasingly aggressive Christian kingdoms. However, Almohad intolerance caused many Jews to flee east to Egypt while sizeable numbers of Christians chose to forsake the new Al-Andalus and join the
instead. The Almohads' policy of reconsolidation did bring success against the Christian kingdoms, which had reconquered approximately half the Iberian Peninsula when the Almohads seized power. In 1195, the Almohads stood victorious against Castile at the Battle of Alarcos, conquering the important cities of Trujillo, Cuenca and Uclés. Next in 1211, a massive Almohad army crossed from Morocco into Iberia to reinforce the war effort against the Reconquista. It did not avail them: in the fateful year 1212, the combined forces of Castile, Aragon, Navarre and Portugal (aided by crusaders from France and Italy) completely obliterated the Almohads at the famous Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa. This was the turning point of Islam's fortunes in Iberia: only the south remained firmly under Muslim rule. The Emirate of Granada provided refuge to the majority of the Muslims, whom now fled in the face of the Christian advance. The densely populated remains of Muslim Iberia continued to be a place of both cultural and economic splendour, despite the defeats, the vast territorial losses and the
de facto
vassalage to Castile.
On the Christian side, southward expansion happened along three parallel axes. In the west, the Kingdom of Portugal had emerged in 1137 and led the
along the Atlantic coast, capturing Santarem in 1146 and Lisbon in 1147 before gradually advancing south. Faro was finally reached in 1249, establishing the Portuguese borders which would remain unchanged down into the present era. The central axis consisted of the kingdoms of León and Castile which had united in 1230 (after two previous unions) and spearheaded the reconquest of the bulk of Iberia. After the decisive Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, Castile captured the strategically important cities of Baeza (1227) and Ubeda (1233) and from there launched a major offensive against the ailing Muslim power. The great city of Córdoba fell in 1236, followed by key cities such as Murcia in 1243, Jaén in 1246, Seville in 1248, Cadiz in 1262, among many others. In the west, Aragon constituted the third axis of the Reconquista, gradually conquering territory along the Mediterranean coast, including the Balearic Isles (by 1235). The Reconquista thus consisted of the three folded march of Portugal, Castile and Aragon, advancing alongside and sometimes against each other. The division of the three advancing powers was furthermore apparent in the language barriers they carved out: Portuguese in the west, Castilian Spanish in the centre and Catalan in the east.
Aside from the Muslim power and the occasional conflicts among the Christian realms, the greatest obstacle to the Reconquista was the Christian inability to (re)populate the recaptured swathes of countryside. This often caused the Christians to act relatively tolerant towards the remaining Muslims (Spanish:
): they were allowed to retain their social position, their local autonomy and their religious customs, so long as they continued agriculture (hence the Spanish saying
'qui tiene moro tiene oro'
; 'he who has a Moor has gold'). In the valley of the Ebro and in the region of Valencia, Muslims even constituted a majority population under Christian rule. This forced the Christian monarchs to be lenient towards the Muslims and rely on the local Christian lords to keep them in check, which gradually undermined royal authority and paved the way for the considerable power of the Castilian and Aragonese nobility, especially in the countryside.
At the front, the Christian forces needed another two centuries before being able to recapture all of Iberia and complete the Reconquista. Crucial to this was the 1479 personal union between the Crowns of Castile and Aragon resulting from the marriage of their respective heirs apparent: Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II. Thus the foundations were laid for the Kingdom of Spain. More importantly, the union of Castile-Aragon provoked a renewed vigour to finally complete the Reconquista by conquering the Emirate of Granada, already a vassal of the Crown of Castile. Christian forces invaded in 1482 and soon made crucial progress, capturing Marbella in 1485, Málaga in 1487 and Almería in 1488 before arriving at the city of Granada itself in 1491. After the decisive battle, the Emirate of Granada surrendered to Isabella and Ferdinand on 2 January 1492. Its territory was formally annexed into the Crown of Castile, ending the Reconquista after 770 years.

Oh yes
Well, if you don't go along in their vague religious rhetorics, which they seem to accept as "historical facts", you are automatically "disrespectful" and "anti-Islam"... Pardon me for not believing in religious fairytales.

Immigration is a considerable problem in Belgium, but it's a very broad term which involves people from many parts of the world, not just Muslims. The government doesn't really look at religion when it comes to the immigration issues here. A few days ago, there was a mass-arrest of about 170 illegal Afghans at the cabinet of the Prime Minister himself. I suppose those people are Muslims, but that's not really an element.
Muslims are usually complaining about being treated as "second-class" citizens; they're not allowed to practice their religion in public, they don't get enough this-or-that at work or at school, they want more government-funding for their religion, etc.

The 2014 YOUR ACTIONS MATTER! underage drinking
awareness campaign is underway throughout the State of Illlinois. Coordinated through the Illinois Liquor Control Commission's (ILCC) Don't Be Sorry educational program, this year's campaign was kicked off on April 23 and featured an announcement ceremony for the winner of our statewide teen video public service announcement (PSA) contest.
Click here to view the
winning video in our 2014
Teen Video PSA Contest!
The goal of the YOUR ACTIONS MATTER! campaign is to change the behavior of adults who think it is "okay" to give alcohol to minors. In a unique twist, teenagers created the campaign's logo and slogan. That's right, YOUTH will be educating the ADULTS!
By posting YOUR ACTIONS MATTER! bottleneckers (or "necktags"), window decals, signs, and posters, you will send a final reminder to members of your community that "preventing underage drinking is EVERYONE's responsibility."
Click here to see a 30-second commercial
promoting the Fall 2013 campaign
YOUR ACTIONS MATTER! materials were designed by teens to reinforce positive behavior. The vast majority of adults in Illinois do NOT give alcohol to minors nor do the majority of teens drink alcohol. By posting these positive messaging materials in liquor establishments throughout Illinois, adults will be reminded to "stop, think, and prevent" underage drinking!
Winner of teen video PSA contest named
During the kickoff to this year's spring statewide event, the winner of the 2014 YOUR ACTIONS MATTER! Teen Video PSA Contest was announced. Created by students from Villa Grove High School (located in eastern Illinois' Douglas County), the winning PSA will air on TV stations throughout the state later this year.
A judging panel—featuring key stakeholders in the prevention field, at the local level, and in the liquor industry—reviewed the teen artwork submissions and selected the Villa Grove High School team as the winner. The video was unveiled to the general public at an announcement ceremony at the school on April 23, 2014.
The 2014 contest built upon the success of the 2013 Don't Be Sorry Youth Art Contest, where teens from all corners of the state submitted designs featuring a positive, social norming message. The winning design, YOUR ACTIONS MATTER!, was announced at an April 2013 kickoff ceremony, where the winning entry was revealed to the public.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Wade Miley tossed eight strong innings and Justin Upton drove in three runs as the Arizona Diamondbacks capped a three- game sweep of the Chicago Cubs with a 5-1 win on Sunday.
Miley (9-3) gave up just one run on three hits with a walk and seven strikeouts for the Diamondbacks, who have won four straight. Jason Kubel added a solo home run in the win.
It was Arizona's first three-game sweep of the Cubs since August 17-19, 2001.
"We were clicking on all cylinders and it's always nice to see that," said Upton. "You can't expect that to happen all the time, but it's fun to watch. Hopefully we can keep this momentum going for a while."
Alfonso Soriano hit a home run to account for the only run for the Cubs, who have lost four straight and eight of their last 11. Matt Garza (3-6) was touched for three runs on five hits with a walk and seven strikeouts over seven innings of work.
"Losing like we're losing now is tough," said Soriano. "Especially because no one here likes to lose. We have to get ourselves together here."
Arizona led off the game with a run as Gerardo Parra walked to start the inning, moved to second on an Aaron Hill groundout and came home thanks to an Upton single.
The sixth inning saw Arizona tack on another run as Parra tripled with two outs and came home on Hill's single off the glove of third baseman Joe Mather.
Chicago had just one baserunner through the first six innings, but finally got on the board in the seventh thanks to Soriano's 14th homer of the year.
Kubel, though, got the run back in the seventh with a leadoff blast over the right field wall.
Miley got out of a second and third with no outs jam in the eighth, then Upton sealed the win with a two-run single in the bottom of the eighth.
J.J. Putz worked a scoreless ninth to lock down the win.

A recent list of the most saintly cities in America features three East Valley municipalities in the top 15, including a second-place finish the town's mayor said is one of the "highest honors" it has earned in its existence.
Released by the blog Movoto, the rankings evaluate municipalities across seven categories to see how far they stray from committing the seven deadly sins — greed, gluttony, lust, envy, pride, wrath and sloth — and how close they landed to their virtuous counterparts: chastity, humility, kindness, charity, temperance, diligence and generosity.
Avoiding high marks in the lust category, for example, requires a municipality to have a low number of strip clubs in proportion to its population, and the pride category is measured by the number of cosmetic surgeons within a city's limits on a per capita basis.
Topping the list is New York City, which earned high marks for its diligence, temperance and charity due in large part to the size of its population. Finishing just three points behind New York, and almost three points ahead of the third-place finisher Fremont, Calif., is the Town of Gilbert.
"I think it's one of the highest honors Gilbert will ever receive," said Gilbert mayor John Lewis.
Gilbert earned its spot on the list because it finished second in the country behind Irvine, Calif., in kindness, which is measured by the number of violent crimes committed per year per 1,000 residents using data collected by the FBI. The town also finished sixth in charity, which Movoto measured by the number of thefts and stolen cars based on the same per-capita criterion. Irvine also took first place in charity and finished 10th overall on the list.
Lewis said the town has a reputation as a safe place for its residents to live, and said the recognition could prove beneficial for Gilbert.
"We'll just have to use it with our marketing," he said.
Joining Gilbert in the top 10 is Chandler, which finished seventh overall and earned its highest marks for kindness and ranked in the 20s in every other category except generosity.
Similar to Gilbert, Chandler earned ranked highly in the safety categories, which City councilmember Kevin Hartke said stems from a crime rate that has declined year after year. He gave much of the credit to the improved crime rate, to the efforts of the Chandler Police Department.
He also called Movoto's rankings a "fun list" and said the city takes its ranking "as a high honor,"
"Maybe we can move up next year and become even more saintly," he said.
Gilbert and Chandler are joined by the City of Mesa, which finished in a tie for 12th with Raleigh, N.C. thanks to a solid mark in generosity measured by the percentage of disposable income donated to charity.
"Any time you throw those measurements out and we stack up well against other communities is a good thing," said Mesa mayor Scott Smith.
Smith had a lighter take on the rankings than Lewis, but said the statistical basis for the system makes it more legitimate than other lists that take a more wanton approach.
Of particular note for Smith were the high grades the three East Valley municipalities earned for public safety, as he said it indicates the overarching region is "a great place to live."
"We celebrate all of our success, even if it is a silly survey," he said.
Two other Arizona cities, Phoenix and Scottsdale, found their way onto the top 50 and finished at 41st and 44th, respectively.

Deception Review: One Alibi Foundby Nick McHatton at . Comments
"One, Two, Three...One, Two, Three" delved deeper into the deception of Deception - and things are really beginning to pick up pace.
Just as the last few episodes have shown throughout Deception Season 1, when one suspect in the family is pushed to the forefront, more information comes to light. But the difference this week was Julian actually gave a credible alibi. Plus, part of the fun is discussing who the suspect is every Monday, depending on the information put forward.
And this week I place my suspicions squarely upon Robert and Sofia.
The dancing scene and Robert's prior visit with Haverstock really shined a light on the willingness of Robert and Sofia to protect the family. Robert isn't at all afraid of Haverstock and the damage he could unleash upon the company and the family itself. Instead, Robert easily clocked Haverstock right in the nose for threatening his family.
In fact, Robert isn't afraid to dish out threats nor is he afraid to dole them out to Rayburn; the only thing that makes me a bit weary of Robert being a suspect is because Vivian, no matter what her choices, is still his daughter. It's difficult to stomach the idea that a father would kill his child even if his billion-dollar company is on the line.
Sofia, on the other hand, is someone that's easy to envision having a hand in Vivian's death. Sofia has had to fight for her place in the Bowers family and is fiercely protective of Mia – she didn't miss an opportunity to threaten Kyle, after all – so going toe-to-toe with Vivian isn't out of character if she knew about the potential threat of taking Mia away.
Edward is still an enigma and the only difference now is there's doubt over whether he killed that girl all those years ago. The flashbacks are some of the best parts of Deception and Edward's are particularly enticing because of what it told versus what is shown. They are almost in direct opposition. Edward is shown as a man who is willing to silence all that oppose him and his family, but flashbacks depict him as a man who is having a very hard time picking a side.
He's still not sure if he's a killer, and the subsequent cover-up seems to have pushed him along a path that he has to live up to. If he is not a killer, then his family all of sudden has far less guilt and leverage to hold over him – making Edward a ticking bomb.
Joanna and Julian are still fun to watch, and Will's jealously between the growing bond between them offers a fun take on a love triangle. I'm glad Julian has an alibi because I don't want to see Joanna compromise her integrity and her career for him; something that began looking more and more likely as tonight progressed.
Until the end, though, Joanna has largely been watching and waiting for something to fall into her lap for the investigation, so I'm happy to see she might finally have an active role in the investigation instead of being a conduit for information now that she's revealed who she is to whistle blower Ben.
What did you think of tonight's Deception TV Fanatics? Who is your prime suspect this week?

@DreaXOXO Mia IS NOT Sofia's daughter, she's Vivian's and Mia doesn't know that. I realize you said this was the first time you watched......
Also Sofia is not Vivian's biological mother........Sofia is a trophy wife.....and an evil bitch(sorry) wouldn't surprise me at all to learn she had some hand in Vivian's death....... I'm liking this show but I'm still wondering just where it can go after this case is solved, or if this season will leave us hanging on the verge of it being solved.........will it turn into a procedural drama with each case involving the Bower family?????? That would get boring........
Joanna is a really poor cop. Deception is very predictable.
Yeah after last night I too am leaning more to Sofia then the others. But hopefully in the end we will all be surprised by the killer. I enjoyed the Julian and Joanna scenes last night but I do like Will too. It shall be interesting to see how things turn out.
Julian was so clearly a red herring that it made things far from suspenseful. I like his complicated relationship with Joanna. They bring out interesting sides in each other. I'm still mostly suspicious of Sofia. I'm now suspicious of the father and I love this more vulnerable side to Edward.
this was my first time watching the show and i am hooked!! i like how they are progressing the story and its easy to watch. i don't like it when the shows get clever and make the audience loose interest (revenge cough cough). either way they can count on me viewing this show again and i still say julian is connected but i don't know how.... didn't see mia not being sofia's biological at all!! how is she going to deal with that???

Hi All,
I just bought the below
Crown XTI 2 Series 6002 Amps - 2no. [2100W per Channel @ 4Ohms] [Not sure if this RMS or Peak Power]
JBL STX 825 - 2no [1200W / 2400W / 4800W @ 4ohms] [Continuous / Program / Peak]
JBL STX 828s - 2no [2000W / 4000W / 8000W @ 4ohms] [Continuous / Program / Peak]
I did a test run on these running 2-825s on one Amp and the 2-828s on the other Amp.
I used the Amp tunings from JBL site for XTIs [http://asia.jblpro.c...1927&doctype=3]
The subs are amazing. They really give me good thump.
But coming to the 825 full range speaker, they sound very harsh around 2k to 6k range and the clarity is missing. These frequencies are so loud and masking the others range of frequencies. I tried playing different music but the result is same.
I used ST and LT (Short and Long Throw) tunings with and without subs but could not get a clean sounding.
Then i tried with DSP Off and the its the same. The 2k to 6k (or say 8k) range is really masking everthing else and there is no clarity.
One more doubt is these Amps give me 6000W into 4Ohms when bridged. But the Amp input max current rating is around 15Amps.
At 230V, it will draw power equal to 3.45kW. I am not sure if the 6000W is peak power
Am I missing something? Please suggest.

Noticing that "days ago, buried in a chart under the headline "How the Health Care Bills Compare," the New York Times provided some cogent yet cryptic information," Norman Solomon (Guernica, 7/23/09) has done some valuable decoding of a Senate committee bill's "public plan that would 'compete with private insurers,'" as "the Times chart explained on July 18": The public plan "would provide 'only the essential health benefits,' as defined by the bill, 'except in states that offer additional benefits.'" Meanwhile, the newspaper noted, "Democrats from three House committees are working on a single plan." Under that plan, "Different levels of […]

True tales of bad behavior from the bridal party.
Why not serve petit fours instead of a wedding cake? The small, intricately designed cakes can be placed on a large tiered tray and presented in a cake-like formation. Your guests will ogle over the delectably detailed bite-sized morsels and the leftovers will fit perfectly in your freezer (for your first anniversary, of course).
Wedding cakes today are expected to look gorgeous, fit in with the overall wedding theme, and taste eye-rollingly good. Here are some of our favorite trends.
Unlike the cakes of the past which were treated solely as towering eye candy, cakes today need to be play a number of roles: They have to look gorgeous, fit in with the overall wedding theme, and taste eye-rollingly good. It's a tall order, but today's cake designers are up to the challenge. Here are some of our favorite trends.
Outlandishly frosted confections are a thing of the past. These days, many couples are opting for clean, classic designs, many of which mimic bridal gown fabrics or detailing. Understated yet whimsical designs, such as cakes covered in blush-colored frosting and punctuated with tiny silver-dusted polka dots or pale blue-fondant frosted cakes studded with chocolate-brown sugar flowers, are all the rage.
Though round tiers are still the favorite for today's couples, square, octagon, and hexagon confections are gaining popularity especially for more modern and laid-back weddings. Atypical shapes give the tower of tiers a sophisticated feel without frilliness. For a multidimensional appeal, pair differently-shaped cakes together, such as round tiers on square tiers.
Cake tiers stacked upon tall Roman columns have all but disappeared, as most couples opt for layers placed directly on top of one another. If the cake is too heavy, designers may sometimes use pillars for support, though they're usually hidden behind fresh flowers. Fresh berries, sugared fruits, and thick bands of sugarpaste flowers are also appearing between the layers, which creates a lush and voluptuous appearance.
Today's confections are taking a spin on the color wheel. We're seeing hues of light blush, ice blue, pale pistachio, rum pink, and lavender splash across the scene, along with shades of butterscotch and cafe au lait -- colors that reflect the bridesmaids' dresses rather than the bride's gown. Many designers are also addressing demand for cakes that incorporate two tones of the same color: We're seeing snow white fondant tiers wrapped with textured white ribbon or topped with white calla lilies, or candlelight buttercream adorned with eggshell-colored roses or champagne-hued scrollwork.
Fresh flowers continue to be a popular adornment for wedding cakes, though sugarpaste flowers are still holding their own. Unfussy, simple blooms are replacing the more frivolous flowers; today's most fashionable fleurs include orchids, calla lilies, tulips, and gardenias. Daisies are also becoming popular, due to their light and cheerful appeal. Simple embellishments such as Swiss dots, single rose petals, curving scrollwork, and family monograms are also setting the standard, as personalization continues to be very popular at weddings.
In the world of flavors, we're seeing rich chocolate-covered confections in all their cocoa-colored glory shirk their "grooms cake" beginnings and take center stage. Pistachio-enhanced cakes, which can be a rich or subtle sage-green hue, are also big now, as is delicate pistachio-flavored filling. Other fabulous fruit flavors setting the scene: pineapple, exotic marion berries, wild cherries, passion fruit, mango, and blood orange mousses. Couples are also pairing cake courses with other sweets -- classics such as tiramisu and apple pie are making their way to the dessert table too.

Instructor Alain joins us to hang out and tell us more about the Golden Gate Knights, a San Francisco Bay Area not-for-profit social group that offers experienced instruction in saber choreography to its members.
Here's a little snippet from the Golden Gate Knights website ...
"Bloch is a life-long Star Wars fan who has been training in the NCSCS system under Matthew Carauddo. He has experience in many forms of martial arts including Iaido and Ying-Jow Pai Kung Fu. Currently, he is the head instructor for the Golden Gate Knights, and has made contributions to the second instructional DVD of Novastar and Caine's Saber Combat System. He has been making appearances in television and radio stations around the world including NBC Bay Area and Good Morning Sacramento."
But you know us, we wanna learn more about his inner-geek ... and geek we shall ...
(Post Show Note)
We lost Biff on this episode due to a power outage in his neighborhood. So we'll have Alain back for Biff to geek all over again.

Fabulous photos of your beds. All look very colourful and healthy.
I have similar problem. In process of removing 10 yards of 8ft Privet hedge and nearby decking. Have discovered that the virginia creeper roots underneath the decking are slimy and rotten with clusters of small toadstools growing on them which are yellowy in colour. It may be something else but I fear the worst. Will have to cut back to healthy root as creeper itself does not appear to be affected Yet.
Intending to replace dying privet with chain link fence and grow Ivy up it as that seems to be fairly fungus resistant and I want shelter for the birds. The decking is being replaced by a flagged patio. Am going to burn affected hedge/roots on patio area so that might help to kill off and threads/spores etc.
KA Unable to post picture but interested to see if your toad stools look like mine/
Could try spraying with Py. It's a 'natural' pest killer and I've used it in the past on my brassicas. Getting 50 or more caterpillars off a leaf to squash them is time consuming and messy. You don't have to wait before you can harvest fruit and veg either.
I'd agree Lobelia cardinal.
The Blackbirds in my garden love them. We seem to have had laods of berries on the plant this year but they won't last long the way they are being gobbled up. I would leave digging it out until the birds have finished with them if thats possible.
Not too sure from the photo but my first thought was Privet that was in flower. Does it have a scent?
I used to hang my onions to dry by putting them on the slatted greenhouse benches and letting the leaves hang down. after a couple of weeks when they had dried off I took thee at a time and plaited the leaves together adding new ones in as I came to the end ofthe leaves. Depending on weight and size I could get 12 or more in a plait then I tied string around the top to make a loop and hung them in the out house. They would easily keep until the following April. I haven't been as successful these last couple of years and have only managed to salvage about 6 onions out of 100 sets. Lousey weather, a lot rotted or didn't even grow.
When we moved into our house nearly 30 years ago. We excavated a 3ft high bank against the hedge which had been used as the 'midden' for Lord knows how many years and gained an extra 4ft of garden. This was eventually used for the flagged path to the greenhouse. We also discovered what could have been the remains of an old anderson shelter, a well or something to do with a coal mine (we live in Wales), it was covered by corrugated iron sheets and angle iron, so we just left it , covered it over and put the green house on top. One of these days I might just disappear while potting on tomatoes!!
Don't know if this is the problem but my late mother in law had a hedge of these plants and one or two showed signs of powdery mildew on new leaves in the spring. She sprayed them and removed as much as possible without leaving them too bare but it never seemed to cure it completely.
Yes, Robins are essentially ground feeders, so hanging feeders do pose a bit of a problem for them. They do better when fed from bird tables or those poles which have a mesh tray as well as hanging arms. I just sprinkle some loose seed and meal worms on the Table/Tray and that seems to work, or use suet blocks. You can also sprinkle them directly on the ground around the feeders, but use none sprouting seed mix other wise you end up growing a field of corn and other cereals. Blackbirds also feed from the ground as well as Wrens. Sparrows will feed from any where. Happy Bird watching.
