Upgrade from a D to D200...
I currently have a D100 which has given me great pictures...my printer (early Epson 890) will take up to 8 1/2 x 11 paper and at this point is the weak link! I intend to buy a newer and larger Epson printer. Would I experience a big difference going from 6 to 10 megapixel? Glass is already very good (17-35 AFS 2.8, 70-200 AFS 2.8 VR, 85mm 2.8 PC Micro and the 24-100 AFS VR). I believe I will have greater cropping power...helping my outdoor shooting. Any advise is most welcome.

How do I make sure I don't escape something twice?
I've heard that its good practice to escape values as you receive them from a form, and also escape when you output. That way you have two chances to catch something.
I presume that you're using JSP.
Just escape during display only. There for the JSTL
Escaping during input is not needed. XSS doesn't harm in raw Java code nor in SQL databases. On the other hand, you would also rather save data unmodified in DB so that you can still see what the user actually entered, so that you can if necessary do social actions on mailicious users.
If you'd like to know what to escape during input, it would be SQL injection. In such case just use
You should only html encode when you output something to a browser. This prevents XSS attacks. The kind of escaping that you do when you collect data from a form, before you insert it into a database is not html encoding. It's escaping special database characters (best done using parameterized queries). The purpose of that is to prevent SQL injection attacks. So there is no double encoding going on.
Content that is harmless in one context can be dangerous in another context. The best way to avoid injection attacks is to prepare the content before passing it to another context. In your case html text changes its context when it is passed to the browser. The server doesn't render the html but the browser does. So be sure to pass no malicious html to the browser and mask it before sending.
Another argument to do so is that it could be possible that the attack code is assembled within the application from two ore more inputs. Each of the inputs was harmless but together they can become dangerous.

6 things a dental cleaning can do for you
- Prevent cavities
The whitish film that builds up on your teeth is called plaque and is the leading cause of tooth decay. This acidic substance eats away at the tooth enamel and, if left unattended, can lead to cavities. Plaque can be removed by brushing, flossing and dental cleanings.
- Stop tooth loss
Gum disease, which starts with built-up plaque, is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. As gum disease advances, plaque moves further down the tooth where it can destroy the supporting bone in your jaw, causing teeth to loosen and fall out. Luckily, the chance of this happening to you can be greatly reduced through regular dental cleanings combined with good oral hygiene habits.
- Brighten your smile
Drinking coffee, tea and wine or using tobacco can stain your teeth. A dental cleaning can remove built-up stains and leave you with freshly polished teeth. The result? A whiter, brighter smile!
- Freshen your breath
Good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent persistent bad breath. Even if you brush and floss regularly, getting a cleaning is a great way to keep your mouth healthy and odor-free.
- Boost your overall health
Studies have shown a connection between oral and overall health.1 Regular dental cleanings may help lower your risk for some diseases, like heart disease and stroke.2 Many medical conditions, some of them life-threatening, can be detected in their early stages by your dentist during a routine oral exam.3
- Save money
Get the most value from your dental benefits. Most Delta Dental plans have low or no copayments/coinsurance for dental cleanings and oral exams.4 If you take advantage of your benefits now, you may be able to save money in the long run by helping to protect your oral health and potentially avoiding more costly and extensive procedures.
For these advantages and more, make an appointment with your dentist today.

Instead, people older than 21 who are caught with up to 14 grams will be given the equivalent of a traffic ticket carrying a $150 fine, reports David Owens at The Hartford Courant. If you're 18 to 21, you'll get the same ticket, but with a 60-day suspension of your driver's license. Those under 1`8 will be referred to juvenile authorities if caught with pot.
Fines for subsequent offenses by adults range from $200 to $500. If you get three or more marijuana offenses, you'll be required to take some of those bullshit "drug counseling" sessions are your own expense.
Police will still conduct field tests to determine if material they find is marijuana. If it is, they'll confiscate the pot and keep it as evidence until the case is resolved, then destroy it.
Some local police departments have bought portable scales to help officers determine whether they're dealing with a crime or an infraction when they find cannabis. But in most cases, police will simply apply their experience.
"You can pretty much eyeball it," said Vernon police Capt. Stephen Clark. "Most experienced officers can tell what's under half an ounce."
"It's simply procedural," said Farmington police Lt. William Tyler. "If they have good identification at the scene, they'll be written a ticket at the scene."

|West Hartford Police Chief James Strillacci: "In many, many cases, it's your foot in the door. You stop somebody, you roll down the window, you smell the marijuana."
As with anything new, there are some uncertainties. Unfortunately, finding marijuana will likely still often be seen as a "first step" in a fishing expedition, and it will allow police to search a car of person for evidence of other "crimes."
After marijuana was decriminalized in neighboring Massachusetts, the commonwealth's Supreme Court ruled that the smell of cannabis is no longer enough to give officers probable cause to search a suspect or their vehicle.
And the old-school way of dealing with marijuana and its users isn't going to be given up easily by the cops; as shown by the following frank quote from a law enforcement official.
"In many, many cases, it's your foot in the door," said West Hartford police Chief James Strillacci. "You stop somebody, you roll down the window, you smell the marijuana. One thing leads to another and before you know it you find you've got stolen goods in the car [or] evidence of another crime."
"It's going to make for some interesting case law," Strillacci said.
Lt. Tyler of the Farmington Police Department said he doesn't anticipate a problem.
"A car search is based on odor," he said. "A car will still be searched because an odor doesn't indicate if it's less than half an ounce."
It seems not to have occurred to the literally minded Lt. Tyler that a smell also doesn't indicate if it's more than half an ounce -- and he seems unfamiliar with the Massachusetts case which decided just that.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says the U.S. must become a place where anyone who is willing to work hard can earn a way into the middle class.
Until that becomes the norm, Obama says, quote, "we can't let up and we can't rest."
Obama spoke at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual awards dinner on a rainy Saturday in Washington.
The event paid tribute to the "Spirit of 1963," including the civil rights movement and the March on Washington for Jobs and Justice that was led that year by Martin Luther King Jr.
In keeping with the theme, Obama spoke of work to be done to reduce a black unemployment rate that is twice what it is for whites, increase the minimum wage and provide health care and education for all.

Walking Ballet Heels & PVC Hobble Skirt Outdoor
We might call this romantic but first of all it is nicely decadent fetish LOL – walking my modified … ehm glamourised! with lace and pearls, – white balletheels and a really tight pvc hobbleskirt outdoor- Well, WALKING is not the right word for it, for an impatient person like I am it is less forcing one to small steps, tripping or slowing down but more likely hobbling hoping I would not fall over as I´d like to move faster. I would not have gone far if I would not have thought of an alternative ^^- though even if not a fan of any kind of restriction this long and shiny pvc skirt looks better at balletboots IMO than hotpants do, alone because muscle work at balletheels make legs look so ugly. Well but for this see the other photos and the related videoclip in memberarea of (c) light-fetish.de .

Do It Yourself Fender Flange Rust Repair - Rudimentary Rust RepairWritten by on April 1, 2010 Fixin' Fender Flanges Yourself
Have you ever noticed that the more comfortable you become in a subject, the more you seem to miss. Maybe that's what causes us to seemingly overlook important issues or problems, sometimes minimizing them. After all, we build and fix trucks and cars all the time so we feel the confidence to tackle any and all obstacles. Perhaps that's when our ego's and desires for a particular project override our mind's eye for details. If all this has been too introspective, then let me explain how I overlooked a problem that became a learning experience-and hoping I can help someone else correct a similar problem.
While looking over a recent restoration project, I noticed some minor rust near the area where the fenders met the body. (This particular subject was actually a car, but don't tell anyone, OK?) I saw some rust in this area but just didn't feel it needed more than a quick glance-heck nearly every restoration project has some amount of rust and or rot don't they? Wow, was I wrong. I can still hear my wife in the background saying, "You're a car guy and you didn't see that?" As soon as I unbolted the fenders, I had a clear view of just how extensive that damage was. Water, ice, and salt (depending on the area of the country you live in) sit in any areas where mud and debris can gather. Over time that collection breeds rust and corrosion. The next thing you know, parts of the panel are severely damaged or even gone-usually the part you need to attach it to the rest of the vehicle. This kind of damage can be very extensive and expensive to have fixed. The alternative to having a shop fix it is to dive in and learn what it will take to repair it yourself. With some time, a few specific tools, and the desire, you can develop the skills to do this type of work.
Some of the tools you will need for metalwork are a good welder, a stretcher, a shrinker (real time and labor savers for repairs of this type), and various snips, shears, hammers, and dollies. When faced with this particular repair, I realized that the shrinker and stretcher would offer great advantages so I called the friendly and knowledgeable folks at the Eastwood Company, and ordered the pair. The shrinker gathers up the material in a set of metal jaws. The jaws grab the material (both ferrous and non-ferrous metals) and gather or push it together in a shrinking motion. As the material gets gathered up, it creates a bend or curve in the material. This will allow the user to make radiuses or curved shapes that will resemble the original panel or flange that the rust or damage has destroyed. The stretcher accomplishes the same job though in the opposite; it grabs the material and pulls it apart, stretching it to make it longer. When it gets longer, it also starts to curve (although in the opposite direction as the shrinker). These two Eastwood tools together will let you make these needed patch panels (among lots of others). Another tool that made this job much easier is also from Eastwood. The tool is known by several names, often called a "plate shear" or Beverly shear. It is a small hand-operated shear that can cut up to 16-gauge steel. The nice feature of this plate shear is that you can cut any number of shapes including radiuses with it, not just straight cuts. Seldom do patch panels work out to be straight edges, so the added ability to cut along an arc makes the Eastwood plate shear extremely useful.
When faced with an extensive repair and using techniques that are new to you, keep the following in mind. In the words of my good friend and mentor Dennis Webb (Dennis Webb Designs, Anaheim, California), "No job is too big if you cut it down into numerous small steps." Approached in this manner, nearly any panel fabrication is doable.
Here, I'll illustrate three different patch panel areas I encountered during my project. Each one will start to show some of the shapes you can make with these tools. The first being a simple rust repair. The tools you will need are a metal cutting wheel, wire brush, welder, preferably a MIG or a TIG (save the arc welder for building bridges), and a grinder.
The second example of repair is the one I spoke of earlier. When I removed that fender, I discovered a lot of the inner fender mounting flange was rusted away. I have to admit, I was surprised by the extent of rust damage. It took me a few minutes to regain my composure and come up with a plan to repair it. On this repair we'll utilize the aforementioned Eastwood shrinker and stretcher.
The last panel repair has the most shape to it. This inner fender patch repair had multiple contours. Follow along and remember it's only metal. If it doesn't come out looking the way you want, then you can always cut it out and try it again. The main idea here is to motivate you to make the attempt. Metalwork is not voodoo; it's a skill that anyone can achieve over time and with practice even master-but you'll never know if you don't give it a try.

Once damage had been located the first order of business was to gain access to the area(s) involved. Here it required the removal of the fenders.Once the fenders were removed and I'd determined the amount and severity of the damage I started the repair process by cleaning the area, removing any loose rust or debris. A thorough cleaning is important as you want to be able to determine where the rust ends and the good metal still exists.With the loose rust and scale cleaned up, and while wearing your safety glasses and gloves, grind the area to expose good solid metal. The repairs will have to have a good solid attachment point so be sure to remove any and all of the damaged area-trying to weld to thinning pitted metal is nearly impossible, and a huge waste of time to boot.At this point I had the option of removing both flanges completely and fabricating replacements or, cutting out the worst sections and making the repairs in a piecemeal fashion. Utilizing my supply of scrap sheetmetal, rather than purchasing a fresh large sheet needed to make the large one-piece repair panels I opted for making several small patches for each side of the vehicle. Using a cutoff wheel, remove any and all of the damaged metal. In this example the rust was the worst on the mounting flanges near the fender boltholes, where the water and debris collected between the two surfaces.The area marked off with the tape is the area I am making the first patch for. This area had access from behind, so I was able to make a template easily. Hold a piece of paper or metal in front of the cut hole, and use a pencil/pen from the other side to mark the perimeter.With the first repair pattern made and transferred to a piece of sheetmetal, I then used the Eastwood shear to trim the piece to shape. You will want to use metal that is similar in size to the original thickness. On older cars you can use 18- to 22-gauge steel. I used 20-gauge steel for these patch panels. I find 20-gauge to be thick enough to weld and shape easily. Using the shear and following along the line made the shaping of the patch panel easy.I trimmed the patch panel so that it just fit inside the hole left by the removal of the damage. You will notice that while cutting and trimming the patch, it may be bent out of shape. After the patch is trimmed up, you may need to planish it using a body hammer to get it back into shape.With the patch tacked in place I then welded the perimeter bit by bit to keep heat distortion to a minimum, and then hit it with a grinding wheel to knock down the high spots. As I said earlier, I made small patches rather than fabricating a complete new flange. Fashioning small patches made the repair a bit easier to manage-and allowed me to use up my stash of sheetmetal scraps too.
Next I moved onto a little more difficult repair (this time on the fender itself). Here you can see how the flange not only curves with the fender but it also flares out changing the angle.The next patch needs to mimic these angles and this was accomplished with the help of the shrinker and stretcher.I again started by cleaning the area starting with a wire brush and moving on to an air grinder so that I could get a better idea of how extensive the rust damage was and prep the area for welding.Using a cutting blade, I cut the rusty metal off the fender leaving about 1/16 inch of the flange on the inside of the fender to maintain the shape and contour of the outside of the panel and to give me something other than the outer fender surface to weld to.I then measured the width of the existing fender flange and transferred that measurement to a straight piece of 20-gauge. The image illustrates the shape needed to make this straight piece match the radius in the fender.Using the Eastwood Shrinker, I took small "bites" in the metal along an area about 1/2 to 3/4 inch into the edge of the patch piece, on the side that I want to shrink. As the metal gathers together, you can see the patch changing shape. You have to work slow and continually check the patch to make sure not to shrink it too much.Looking at the top edge of the patch you can see a series of vertical lines. These are the lines that the shrinker makes as it gathers up the material. By gathering up the metal on the upper edge of the patch it gathers and arches upward. If I had used the stretcher this same piece would have bent downward, just the opposite of what happened here.After a few more "bites" on the patch panel, you can see the radius taking shape. The patch now matches the contour of the inner fender flange very closely.
Another rusted area on a different area of the fender flange. You can see there is a lot more shape to this one.Measure the length and width of the flange and use the shear to cut it the rough size. Then take this template with you to the stretcher/shrinker and use it as a gauge. As you "shrink" the metal, hold it up to the gauge and judge how much more shape you need.After welding, grinding, and some finish work, here is the completed fender flange/patch panel repair. This type of shape would be extremely difficult to make without a set of stretcher/shrinker tools. I found the Eastwood shear, along with the stretcher/shrinker combo easy to use-and for a project like this, a must-have!

1/10 stays ready for 'any clime and place'

Sharma conveyed to his deputy CAGs that they should avoid putting a figure to monetary losses incurred by a government department.
CAG silent
Hardly any reports from the Comptroller and Auditor General of Indias office have been released in the past six months, since Shashi Kant Sharma took over the job. While several draft reports are ready, they are waiting for his signature. Sharma, who was earlier defence secretary, verbally conveyed to his deputy CAGs when he took over that they should avoid putting a figure to monetary losses incurred by a government department, and should concentrate on procedural lapses. They were also instructed not to specifically name private parties or bureaucrats who might have benefited due to wrongdoings. Sharma succeeded Vinod Rai, whose scathing audits of government departments, particularly the 2G spectrum scam and the coal block allocation scam, created major ripples.
Lalit and CRICKET
It is more than two years since former IPL chief Lalit Modi left the country, but although there is a blue alert against him and his passport has been revoked, Modi continues to enjoy the good life in London. Modi, who lives in Belgravia, is often seen entertaining Indian celebrities whenever they are in London. Last week, he had a big bash at Hotel Rosewood London to celebrate his 50th birthday. One of the presents was a grey Ferrari tied up in ribbons, with a special number plate, CRI3KET. Modi also takes a keen interest in the Rajasthan elections where his old friend Vasundhara Raje is the BJPs chief ministerial candidate.
Politically savvy
Pranab Mukherjees political skills come in handy even as President. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was annoyed because, a fortnight back, Mukherjee visited Darjeeling and met Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) leader Bimal Gurung. Mukherjee, accompanied by son Abhijit, who is keen to get GJM backing for contesting the Darjeeling parliamentary constituency, met Gurung despite Mamatas objections. When Mukherjee visited Kolkata a few days later, the CM showed her displeasure by sending a junior minister to the airport to greet him. Mamata did not attend the function in Kolkata presided over by the President either. However, the two appear to have made up since then because Mukherjee has agreed to inaugurate the 75th anniversary celebrations of the West Bengal Assembly. But now Mukherjee has to do some mending of fences with the Congress, BJP and CPM, all of whom are threatening to boycott the event, accusing Mamata

Comics Review: Shimura Takako, Wandering Son, Volumes 1-3
Wandering Son, Shimura Takako invites comparison to the celebrated young-adult fiction writer Judy Blume. Her two protagonists are Shuichi and Yoshino, whom the reader meets in the fifth grade and follows into their middle-school years. Yoshino is a tomboy: she prefers short hair and boy's clothing--she hates wearing dresses--and she's willing to use her fists on male classmates if they dare to anger her. Shuichi is her best friend, and in many ways her opposite number: he's a boy who loves dressing in girls' clothing and accoutrements. He also has a propensity to cry in front of others. A good deal of their friendship is based on Yoshino's willingness to indulge his proclivities--she even takes Shuichi dressed as a girl out shopping. Shimura handles a sensitive early-adolescent subject with considerable grace. She captures the doubts--and the joys--of the two characters as they explore and come to terms with their cross-gender tendencies. And she of course confronts the inevitable tensions Yoshino and especially Shuichi's behavior creates with their families and peers. Dramatically, the tone is just about perfect--Shimura never lapses into the sensationalism that mars so many (alleged) slice-of-life manga stories. Her grasp of the subject is just about perfect as well. She fully understands the nuances of non-traditional gender identifications--such as their not necessarily denoting homosexuality and so on--and she's true to how they play in social terms: Yoshino's transvestism is largely accepted while Shuichi's is not. The series thus far--it will eventually run thirteen books altogether--is a perceptive, amiable, and moving piece of work. The English translation is by Matt Thorn.

A preamp that puts Soldano-like overdrive at your feet.
The AMT Legend Amps Series S1 Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal is intended for the production of sound peculiar to «drive» channels of Soldano* amps. It is distinguished by a specific type of overdrive: open, wide, and at the same time tough and dynamic.
"AMT Legend Amps" is a new revolutionary series of one-channel preamps from AMT Electronics, developed with a new approach to guitar sound formation. Original circuitry was used to produce analog modeling of the physical processes occurring in real vacuum tubes. AMT Legend Amps possess a number of unique features found in real tube preamps and amplifiers:
• Preamps included into AMT Legend Amps series provide excellent playing dynamics characteristic to real tube-based devices and are in no way inferior to them.
• With the limitation range similar to tube channel the preamps of the series ensure terrific thickness and power to the resulting sound. Working with AMT Legend Amps preamps you won't feel the urge to cut out the most informative middle frequencies, which in turn will provide great readability of your guitar in the sound mix.
• Like tube preamps AMT Legend amps provide gradual increase of the limiting stages number as the gain grows.
• The series' preamps use passive circuits of tone shaping which are in full conformity with the tone controls during original tube overdrives.
• The high level of output signal of AMT Legend Amps (+10 dB at max Level position) corresponds to the tube preamps' output signal levels. Thus you have adjustable signal level that makes it possible to connect the preamps to any input (RETURN, DIRECT, LINE etc.) including INPUT POWER AMP

Comments about AMT Electronics Legend Amps Series S1 Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal:
People keep saying this a preamp but its not. Go and buy it like a man and plug it into your effects return and see what happens lol. Its a distortion pedal. S2 is preamp. This one goes over your clean channel.
Sounds pretty decent though.Especially for metal and shredding. Better then any sounds i can get in pod farm 2 (not saying a whole lot). I still like my marshall valvstate and crate combo better :(

Real Housewives of Orange County
Alexis Bellino Gets Hair Extensions — See Her New 'Do (PHOTO)
Just about all of our favorite Real Housewives of Orange County seem to be changing their hair up these days, and Alexis Bellino is no exception.
Alexis has emerged from a long session with her stylist and has a super cute new 'do to boot, which she posted an Instagram photo of on October 4.
"Grrrr....5 hours in the chair tonight for new extensions...but worth every minute for @aelmoussa1 masterpiece!!! #whewy #goingshortagainsoon," she captions the pic.
And what kind of extensions are these? "I am using Great Lengths brand new 'apps' extensions!" she explains on Instagram. "They are new, and I'm one if the first in US to have them, so took a tad longer!! But I love them!!"
Certainly, five hours is a long time to spend on your hair. But while we loved her recent, more bob-like hairstyle, we love the idea of her with longer hair, too!
Indeed, Alexis isn't the only OC Housewife to switch up her coif. Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney both posted photos of themselves last month with distinctively different manes. Everyone on the show has new 'do fever!
So are you loving Alexis's new look? Or are you hoping she'll hurry up and go back to short hair soon?

Jo Ann Dodea just wanted to have some chickens to help her get over the death of her 25-year-old daughter in March, and to help keep the bugs and insects out of an organic garden at her Rifle home.
Instead, Dodea found herself arrested, allegedly by five Rifle police officers, for having the chickens in an multi-family zoned area. That is against the city code, according to a search warrant executed on May 31. The city code currently allows two chickens or ducks to be kept by single-family residences. Rifle City Council was scheduled to consider a new animal control ordinance at their June 6 meeting that would change the number of chickens or ducks allowed to ten, but only for single family residences.
Dodea, 55, is a retired police officer who worked for more than 20 years for the Carbondale Police Department and Pitkin County Sheriffs Department.
She called her experience "totally ridiculous" and "an unbelievable true-crime story about keeping chickens."
A hand-painted cardboard sign nailed to a post in her front yard at 425 W. Third St. read "Rifle's Chicken Police are hard core." A small plastic duck was hung from the sign, too.
A police department report states the first contact with Dodea was on May 21, when a citizen complained about 22 chickens and several geese on her property.
The report states that when officers arrived May 31 at approximately 10 p.m., they attempted to serve a citation to Dodea. She refused to acknowledge the promise to appear in court and was arrested.
Dodea's boyfriend, Anthony Torres, 52, did sign a similar citation for five violations of the city code regarding housing prohibited animals and was not arrested.
Dodea said she was awakened late Thursday night, May 31 by officers to serve her a ticket with a $150 fine. When she refused to sign the ticket, Dodea was arrested. She claimed five officers were present, but police Lt. J.R. Boulton said he could not confirm that many officers were present.
"Whenever you have a search warrant involved, you want some back up," Boulton said. "And then if you have a totally uncooperative individual, you definitely want help. But I don't believe there were five officers there."
"I was just flabbergasted," Dodea said. "I'd never heard of something like that. But I said OK, take me to jail. I was in my pajamas and barefoot and they wouldn't let me go back to my room to get my shoes or put some clothes on."
Torres said he told the officers several times that Dodea was a retired police officer.
"But they didn't seem to believe it," he said. "It was all kind of Mickey Mouse. I thought we were in Anaheim," the home of Disneyland.
After a brief stay at the police department, Dodea said Pena told her she could go home. When she couldn't reach Torres to come get her, she walked back home, Dodea said.
At the time of her arrest, Dodea said there were no chickens on her property. She had moved them out of town when directed by Community Service Officer Brittany Koley. Police took several photos of a chicken coop and other evidence but did not remove the five geese.
However, Dodea said when she visited the chickens in their new home, she saw they had very little oversight or protection from predators, so she brought them back to her Rifle home. They were present in her yard on Tuesday, June 5, along with the geese.
Dodea said she was most upset with police Sergeant Diego Pena, who she said told the officers via radio to arrest her and then spoke harshly to her at times while she was briefly held at the police department. Dodea filed a formal complaint with the police department on June 4 over the incident.
"I got chickens as therapy after my daughter's death," she said. "They're like pets in a lot of ways. They get attached to you. And they're great at keeping the insects out of gardens. We want to try to live healthy."
Dodea and Torres both claimed they talked to city employees, including City Manger John Hier, and were told at least twice it was legal to keep chickens, since their house is next to the Busy Bee Floral business and has only one other neighbor.
Officer Justin Macklin stated in an affidavit for the search warrant, signed by municipal court Judge Victor Zerbi, that Dodea admitted she had 22 chickens on May 21, and that she was "willing to fight" over the dispute.
On May 23, Koley visited with Dodea again and told her to get rid of the chickens by noon on Wednesday, May 30 or be issued a ticket. Dodea allegedly responded that the city "is getting sued" and vowed to keep the chickens, adding "I was starting a war," Koley wrote in the affidavit. Dodea added she would not pay any tickets or fines and "is not going to commit to this bullying."
On May 25, Koley spoke with Hier, who reportedly told her he advised Dodea she must get rid of the chickens. Dodea said Hier told her to talk with the city planning and building department about a possible variance to see if she could keep the chickens, Koley wrote.
Later that day, Koley spoke with Dodea by phone again and was told "I got to do what I got to do and she will see me in court and she has never lost a case in court," the affidavit said.
On May 30, Koley went to Dodea's home to issue the ticket. When Koley asked her if she got rid of the chickens, Dodea reportedly responded "it was for her to know and me to find out and not to come back into her yard without a warrant," Koley wrote.
Dodea's first municipal court appearance over the dispute is scheduled for June 20.
"I fully intend to fight it," Dodea said. "It's the principal of the thing. I'm not incompetent, I'm not stupid but I don't want to be bullied. And I resent being told I have one week to get rid of my pets."

This is an Italian breakfast, so what I have done before to if your not making it for a party is lay out the crescent roll dough into one big flat piece and I add the whole cream cheese mixture. Leave enough room so you can pull the dough up around the top of the mixture. This makes a good breakfast, lunch, dinner, side, or just a snack for you and others in your family or friends to enjoy. It's easier because you can just cut it up like a big sandwich or loaf of bread.
Very good, I added a small can of green chilies and it was great.
Very good. I added some hot sauce to mine to give them more zip in contrast to the creamy cream cheese.

The wind that was forecast for Friday made its presence felt with the anemometer never dropping below the 30 knot mark. The 360 competitors had to sit it out patiently, waiting fo the race committee decisions that punctuated the day. The wind eventually lightened up a little, but not until the early evening, allowing the "Gold Section" riders in the boys Under 17 category to get out on the water in what turned out to be the only race of the day. The riders raced on a "Banana" course layout in a stiff 25 knots. We were rewarded with the magnificent sight of 100 or more Technos going full-on through the hefty chop whipped up by the strong wind. At the top of the rankings, the battle played out between Dutch rider Kiran Badloe (NED 194) who led at the first mark, and Frenchie Gaël Cousin (FRA 753) attacking all the way down the downwind leg. Cousin eventually found a way past Badloe who finished second, ahead of English rider Stuart Hards and the other leading Frenchie Maxime Labat. In the overall standings Cousin has now established himself in first place, slightly extending his lead over Badloe and Labat lying equal second. Which all means that anything is possible on the final day, for which the wind forecast has yo-yo'd it's way back to "light". We shall see !

Neil Moses, chief global strategy officer of Dunkin' Brands Group Inc., has announced that he is stepping down, according to the Boston Herald. He will serve in the position until mid-March.
Moses was promoted to the chief global strategy officer position in June, from his role as chief financial officer, which he held since November 2010.
In a statement, the parent company of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins brands said it will not replace his position. His current responsibilities will be assumed by other members of the executive team.
In his CFO role, Moses was instrumental in Dunkin' Brand's IPO in 2011.
Moses joined Dunkin' Brands in November 2010. He had previously served as EVP, CFO of Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), a Massachusetts-based software company. Prior, Moses served as the CFO for a variety of companies in the technology and retail sectors.
Dunkin' Donuts plans 11 new Wisconsin units
Dunkin' Donuts has signed a multi-unit store development agreement with existing franchise group, Zee Development Group LLC, for 11 restaurants throughout Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wisc. The first restaurant is planned to open in 2014 and the remainder by 2019.
Consisting of six existing Dunkin' Donuts franchisees, the partners of Zee Development Group LLC, currently own and operate nearly 400 Dunkin' Donut restaurants in metro and upstate New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and Central and Southern Milwaukee.
Most recently in December 2010, this group signed a multi-unit store development for 36 restaurants in Central and Southern Milwaukee under the entity Milwaukee Brewing Company of which four are now currently open in the area.
"We are excited to continue to expand Dunkin' Donuts' presence in Green Bay and Milwaukee and play an important role in the daily lives of people who live, work and visit here," said franchisee Mark Cafua. "As long-term Dunkin' Donuts franchisees, we all have a collective passion and dedication for the brand and we look forward to the opening of our new Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in the years to come."

My Best Birth
Hello everyone!
My husband and I are planning to start a family very soon so, consequently, I am planning way ahead! :o) As a doula and someone who is very familiar with natural childbirth, I am eager to have a homebirth. Currently, however, we live in a small apartment that doesn't have the greatest "soundproofing." I'm concerned (having not experienced labor yet for myself) that giving birth…

Up Front: February 2006
As the silver type in the red bar of our logo on the cover indicates, weve begun the year that well celebrate the magazines 25th anniversary. When we reach that mark this fall, well have published 300 issues, several thousand stories and many millions of words. Its a big chore putting out Business North Carolina each month, but nothing matches the sweat that goes into producing this Business Handbook issue each year.
Just ask Frank Maley. Hes the senior editor who has ramrodded the project the last three years. Initial planning on next years issue begins soon after this years goes to the printer, and some of the work gets under way by midsummer. A dozen years now, weve gleaned data from scores of sources to paint the most comprehensive picture available of the North Carolina economy. But probably no task is as tedious as compiling our annual listing of the 100 largest employers, which begins on page 16.
The effort normally starts in early September. The Employment Security Commission provides a ranking of companies with more than 1,000 employees, but confidentiality requirements bar it from revealing exact numbers. Thats what we request from companies by fax. Some, but not most, comply right away. So we start working the phones. It can take dozens of calls to find the right person to badger. Often we dont finish until a few days before deadline.
This time, we thought it would be easier. John Kasarda, director of UNC Chapel Hills Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise, figured his staff had the expertise and resources to compile the list in a less labor-intensive way plus add the sheen of the institutes prestige to the product.
The job fell to C3E the institutes Carolina Center for Competitive Economies. Faculty Director Mike Luger hoped to coordinate the ESC list with employment figures from Dun & Bradstreet and other references, resorting to phone calls only when accurate numbers werent available. But when the first draft arrived in early December, C3E had concluded that its data sources werent interchangeable: Best use ESC data essentially the starting point in our process with the top companies split into nine employment ranges.
That, we felt, was taking a step backward. Providing employment figures, rather than ranges, was the value BNC had added to the ESC ranking. But because we had collected the numbers from a variety of sources over several months, we had been forcing false precision, Luger noted. Thats a valid criticism of our methodology. But we needed numbers, so they started surveying companies. In the end, 73 responded. C3E staff filled in the blanks with head counts from D&B and/or extrapolated from ESCs reported ranges. Frank spent two days fervently vetting the list, consolidating numbers reported by different companies under one corporate ownership. Its being sent to the printer as I write this.
We learned a lot in the process, which should make for an even better list next year, and, I suspect, so did the Kenan Institute people who worked on it. Maybe the biggest lesson is one we should have learned from Ringo Starr a long time ago: It dont come easy.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
In order for them to collect the amount they request, they need to be able to show how $350 was related to the cost related to the recovery of the stolen item. I would make them show you how they came up with that figure.
Regarding the Spencer's Gifts matter, if you did not commit that theft, then you should definitely not pay the claim. If you have a defense, you should explain the situation, and if they believe it, they will probably drop the matter.
I hope that answers your question. If so, please click the "Accept" button (that's how I get credit for my work). Good luck.
If you were holding them for a friend, knowing they were stolen, you were a party to the crime, making you legally as guilty as the person who actually stole them. You are probably sunk on those charges.
I've copied this directly from the Theft Liability statute:
(1) under Section 134.003(a), from a person who commits theft, the amount of actual damages found by the trier of fact and, in addition to actual damages, damages awarded by the trier of fact in a sum not to exceed $1,000;
This makes you liable for the damages (of which there were none because they got the pants back). The judge can penalize you up to $1000.
As far as Spencer's not detaining you, that doesn't matter. You don't get a free pass simply by making it out of the store.
If you go to court the judge could impose higher penalties than what they are asking for.
You should definitely get copies of whatever you signed.
If you don't think you can successfully defend yourself against the charges (from what you've said, it doesn't sound like you can), then I recommend that you contact Macy's and Spencers and offer them something less than what they are asking. Tell them all you can afford is $100 and negate them down. $350 is their first offer to settle, and they are most likely willing to settle for less.
If that answers your question, please click "Accept." If you have any follow up questions, feel free to ask.
You understand the statute correctly.
It's hard to say what effect the papers will have on your case without knowing what you've signed. If you signed something agreeing to pay a certain penalty, then there isn't much you can do. At that point, the judge isn't deciding if it is fair or not (after all, you agreed to pay it), he will just decide if it is a valid contract.
If you lose, there will be additional court costs that you may be required to pay. As far as the fine, it totally depends on the judge. Because of that, there is no "typical" case. Generally, though, your fine will be less than $500.
Before you proceed any further, you need to get a copy of what you've signed. If you are in a position to negotiate, then do that. If you are stuck, then you should pay and move on.

Neighborhood Highlights
Must-See Bushwick

Bushwick has become synonymous with new music and trendy eateries, cutting-edge artists and skinny jeans. But long before Bushwick was Bushwick, it was Boswijck; colonial Dutch for "town in the woods," the name given the area by Peter Stuyvesant in 1661. Before that, it was home to the Lenape people, who sold the land to the Dutch West India Company for eight axes, 12 kettles and some wampum, among other goods. The Native Americans and Dutch were followed by French, Scandinavian and English settlers, then Germans, Austrians, Italians, African Americans and Latinos. Heavy industry arrived, too, transforming farmland and residential blocks into chemical plants and warehouses, and by the late 20th century, Bushwick was the epitome of urban blight and poverty.
In recent years, decrepit buildings have been remade into galleries and performance spaces, sometimes serving as legal canvases for street artists, and restaurants have begun drawing crowds from all over. These days, Bushwick is New Yorkese for "hippest neighborhood in town." Read on to discover more.

Recently, the Hinduja Group flagship Ashok Leyland launched the Stile, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) based on a contemporary vehicle platform. The Stile is actually a rehashed Nissan Evalia. Ashok Leyland believes that the Stile can successfully be used as a hotel shuttle, taxi, ambulance, panel van, for inter-city and intra-city travel, and even as a personal vehicle for large familiesessentially carrying 7-8 people in decent comfort. We find out how good this new offering is.
Looked at from the side and even the rear quarter, it is very hard to distinguish the Stile from the Evalia. The only major difference is the front headlight assembly that, I must add, is quite stylish. Similarly, the cabin too is almost a direct lift from the Evalia. What this means is that, though you get a very basic design, the Stile is actually a very practical vehicle.
What the Stile does have is loads of space. The monocoque body construction makes for lower weight, while for passengers it translates into car-like comfort, good ride quality and increased safety. The interiors, at least in the top-end model that we drove, are well-appointed with superior ergonomics. Then, the low floor feature makes for easy entry and exit, while sliding doors on both sides allow for easy access in tight parking spaces. Available only as a diesel engine option, the Stile has got a wide choice of seating options of 2 and 3 rows (7 and 8 seats) with generous space for occupants and their luggage. The MPV also comes with user-friendly features such as dual rear AC vents for effective air-conditioning.
The Stile is powered by the same engine that does duty on the Evalia. What Ashok Leyland has done is detune the motor, which now produces a lesser output of 74 bhp but that also translates into an ARAI-certified fuel-efficiency of 19.5 kmplvery good for a vehicle this weight and class. The driveability is nice and the Stile comes with height-adjustable steering wheel. The vehicle also has low NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels.
The Stile, however, does leave out some important bits. For instance, there is no airbag currently being offered, so safety remains an issue. Then, even in the top-end variant, the driver cannot operate passenger power window from his door. Also, there is no manual or electrical adjustment for the outside rear-view mirrors (ORVM).
The good news is that the Stile comes with a two-year or 50,000-km

"Pooh's Heffalump Movie" likely will play best with toddlers and pre-schoolers easily amused by bright colors, merry songs and lovable, huggable toon animals. Modest and muted pic won't be around long in theatrical run, but should prove quite popular down the line as the homevid equivalent of a pacifier.
So insubstantial that it practically evaporates on screen, "Pooh's Heffalump Movie" likely will play best with toddlers and pre-schoolers easily amused by bright colors, merry songs and lovable, huggable toon animals. One of the lesser entries in Disney's ongoing "Winnie the Pooh" franchise, modest and muted pic won't be around long in theatrical run, but should prove quite popular down the line as the homevid equivalent of a pacifier.While Christopher Robin makes only a token appearance during closing credits, most other popular A.A. Milne characters are on hand to go through familiar paces in Hundred Acre Wood. Wispy scenario calls for Pooh (voiced by Jim Cummings), Tigger (also Cummings), Piglet (John Fiedler), Rabbit (Ken Sansom) and Eeyore (Peter Cullen) to be greatly distressed by evidence that a dreaded "Heffalump" (i.e., elephant) has been roaming in their general vicinity. While Team Pooh attempts to capture the dangerous creature in a far-flung corner of the wood, spunky little Roo (Nikita Hopkins) befriends a not-so-dangerous young Heffalump named Lumpy (Kyle Stanger). As the new buddies gambol and frolic to the strains of Carly Simon's pleasantly innocuous original tunes, they find they're not so different after all. Better still, their peaceful coexistence inspires greater trust between their initially mistrustful elders. Even though it clocks in at 67 minutes, including credits, "Pooh's Heffalump Movie" feels unduly padded. Indeed, it's hard to shake the impression the project was intended as a direct-to-video release, and somehow got misrouted on its way to retail outlets. Overall, animation is unremarkably bland, with backgrounds and landscapes conspicuously lacking detail. Vocal talents — including Brenda Blethyn as Mama Heffalump and Kath Soucie as Kanga, Roo's mommy — aren't unduly taxed. Of course, in this age of the Professionally Outraged, it's altogether possible that some pressure group will huff and puff about "Heffalump." After all, pic preaches a message of tolerance and mutual acceptance while dealing with a lavender elephant — no, I'm not making this up — who's ultimately embraced by "normal" animals of more traditional hues. Wait until the folks who were upset by Teletubbies and Buster Rabbit get a load of this.
Pooh's Heffalump Movie

Recurring Role
After Peter's near sex encounter with Chris he asked him a series of questions with Chris giving a response after each question. He first asked Chris if he did his homework and Chris answered by nodding his head. Peter should not have known that Chris answered the question because he is blind.
When Peter and the Giant Chicken fight on the ship, they fall against the chadburn (engine order telegraph), causing the ship to go full speed. But they are in the engine room, so this is the receiving end of the chadburn and does not control the ship's speed.
In this episode it is shown that, without make-up, Lois' skin is pale. But in several past episodes, she has been seen in her underwear (or less) with a non-pale skin tone all over her body.
We learn in this episode that Cleveland used to be a top auctioneer until a bump to the head slowed his voice down to what it is today.
Title on the "Quahog Informant":
When Peter is Gary The No Trash Cougar, he shoots his gun once when he enters, and twice in the air when he's done. But there are only 2 gun shells on the floor.
The ending credits used in the endings of the Star Wars movies are used in the ending of this episode including the classic Star Wars theme.
Peter gets nickel poisoning for eating too many nickels. In real life, nickels are made primarily of copper with only 25% of the outer shell being nickel.
This episode was pre-empted in Canada due to the finale of Survivor: Palau on Global.
Peter and the Giant Chicken continue the fight they began in DaBoom.
Peter: (To Horace) Hey, ya ever watch that show Scrubs? Yeah Lois had it on the other night, I was fading in and out, but I was wondering, which one's the funny guy?
Tom Tucker: In sadder news, the man who held the Guinness World Record for "Most Drugs Ever Done by a Single Human Being" died today; he was attacked by a pack of wild dogs he thought he saw.
Peter: Okay, first of all, Bonnie, you've been pregnant for like six years, all right. Either have the baby or don't.
Tom: We go live with the local blind man. Sir, how did you suddenly summon the courage to save your friend from that burning building?
Peter: That freaking place was on fire?!
Tom: And there you have it. Coming up next, "Watch me shave."
Lois: Peter, you're really are putting away those Mentos. Peter: Oh, these aren't Mentos, Lois. Everybody, you are looking at a guy who is going to set a new world record. I am going to eat more nickels than anyone has ever eaten before.
Stewie: This is the worst use of money since I tricked out my Big Wheel.
Stewie: OK, OK if I make this we're all going to get laid.
(He shoots a crumpled paper ball into Brian's cone)
Stewie: Haha Yes! Score, Score!
Brian: Boy I'd really like to chew on my crotch right now.
Tom: Coming up! Diane's weight.
God(to woman): Hey! Wanna see what I can do? Alright. Ready? Check it out. Beer. Glass. Alright. Oh, I guess I'll go over here for a minute, (hums tune) oh, holy crap that's still pouring itself! Oh, wow that's amazing. I've never seen anyone do that! You wanna go out later?
Mort: (on bowling a perfect game) I just never stopped believing. Say no to acid!
Peter: This sucks. Now the only thing anybody's going to remember me for after I die is being that blind guy.
Brian: Don't give up yet, Peter.
I mean, many blind people live rich fulfilling lives.
Peter: Oh, I don't know Brian. I mean, I guess can give it a shot.
(Peter gets up from the couch and walks past Stewie)
(Stewie trips Peter with an Ottoman, and Peter falls to the ground)
Stewie: Ha-ha-ha. Oh my God, I almost didn't do it. I ALMOST didn't do it. I thought, is this in bad taste? But you know what, I went for it. I went for it and I'm so glad I did. Oooh, worth it. Totally worth it.
(Quagmire is trying to think up things so he doesn't get excited.)
Quagmire: Oh oh, oh god, oh god, dead kittens, dead kittens, uh, old nuns, uh, really old nuns, uh Renée Zellweger (sigh of relief ) ahh, there we go.
Cleveland: I must say, I do feel a strange satisfaction watchin' the black ball topple all those self-righteous white pins.
Joe: Can't blame 'em for being self-righteous, the black ball's in their neighborhood uninvited.
Cleveland: The black ball's done nothing wrong.
Joe: If the black ball's innocent it has nothing to fear.
(Quagmire runs through the mall and topples into a bunch of woman mannequins)Quagmire: Oh! Naked plastic chicks!
God: Here, let me light that for you, babe.
(Thunderbolt to the cigarette)
Girl: Hey, thanks!
God: Yep, magic fingers. (laughs)
(Thunderbolt to the girl burning/killing her.)
God: Jesus Christ!
Jesus: What?
God: Get the Escalade, we're outta here!
Brunette: Thank God you know CPR.
Quagmire: What the hell's CPR?
The auction house that Cleveland is supposed to be at is Sotheby's, a famous auction house for fine art, books, antiques, and other rare items.
Bonnie's Pregnancy
Peter: You've been pregnant for like six years! Have the baby or don't.
This alludes to the fact that Bonnie has been pregnant over the past 6-7 years since Family guy was first aired back in 1999.
The fight between Peter and the chicken contains many allusions. The cruise ship smashing into Quahog is similar to a scene at the end of 'Speed 2: Cruise Control'.
The ship finally smashes through an airport terminal building just after a man waves guidelights; there is a similar scene (but involving a plane, instead) in the beginning of 'Airplane'.
Towards the end of the fight between Peter and the Chicken, they end up at an airport. The plane fight that ends in the propeller chopping the Chicken to shreds is straight out of Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Peter: Have you ever seen that show scrubs?
Scrubs is a comedy airing on NBC. Neil Goldman who works on Family Guy is a head writer on Scrubs as well.
Judd Hirsch: Uh Hey...
Judd Hirsch was the actor who played the role of John Lacey from the sitcom Dear John.
Crackle: Here's to Snap...
Crackle & Pop appear to have lost the third member of their trio (Snap) in an ambush by the Keebler Elves. Snap, Crackle, & Pop are the animated mascots of Kellogg's Rice Krispies.
None: Keebler Elves
The Keebler Elves make another appearance. This time with a mind to kill the Rice Krispie's Elves.
Star Wars: A New Hope
The episode ends with a medal ceremony lifted from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
: Raiders of the Lost Ark
At the end of the fight sequence with Peter and the Chicken, the Chicken is killed by the propeller of a plane. This is a direct reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indy wins a fight in the same way.
