Every year, the Commission on the Status of Women -- one of the major bodies of the United Nations devoted to gender equality -- meets at the UN headquarters in New York. This year's meeting has taken on particular significance, given that it marks fifteen years since the adoption of the Beijing Platform for Action, a landmark UN document representing key women's human rights commitments from member states. Starting this week, women's human rights advocates, members of the media and government representatives are now gathering to debate the current status of women's rights worldwide -- and where we need to go from here.
So this week and next week, MADRE is switching into high gear. We're looking forward to the chance to meet and strategize with women's rights advocates from around the world, to address issues such as the on-going disaster response in Haiti and the impact of armed conflict on women in places like Afghanistan and Colombia.
We are also organizing an event this Wednesday at noon with the Center for Women's Global Leadership, on the topic of "Comparative Strategies to End Violence Against Women." More details are available here.
MADRE's event and many other events are open to the public, so this is your chance to participate! For a full listing of open events, click here.

We are well into the new year so I should first start by saying Happy New Year to everyone who visit this blog. There are so many things to talk about from a single woman's perspective that it would take all month to discuss such topics, especially since they all focus on Christ, our Lord and Savior. I would also like to take the time to thank everyone who visited my blog in my absence. Thank you for the kind messages. Mostly, thank you for supporting my writing and this Christian blog. I am assured that there are many Christian women blogs out there. So I am delighted that you have chosen to read these writings and to provide your feedback. I am most humbled by your comments.
So much has taken place since I last blogged. My life has been a story of love, humility, and a lesson on forgiveness. As for now, I plan to start back to writing about topics that are of interest to Christian women. With that being said, thank you for your patience and keep coming back often. My next blog will be on the topic of forgiveness. This post should be up very soon. Thank you all again.
In Christ,
A Woman's Delight

Are you following a stranger's voice? The Simple Truth
John 10:3 – To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
John 10:4 – And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
John 10:5 – And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
All too often I come in contact with people who are desperate to hear God's voice and with good reason. They are desperate to hear from God in regards to life's circumstances, as we all should be. We are living in perilous times where there will be a plethora of false teachers, false prophets, and false preachers everywhere wanting to give us some "word". We are living in a time where Truth is not popular and anything that may tickle our ears is by far more palatable. Furthermore, if you turn on Christian television you will indeed hear a word, but is it the Word of God?
I just wanted to write a quick note to call all of us back to our first love. I pray that this note will not only encourage you but will also lead you deeper into the study of His Word to find the very answers you are seeking. For every question that you may have, God's Word has an answer. In today's society we want everything handed to us on a silver platter. We do not want to do the work, study the Scriptures that will lead to spiritual life and light. We want someone else to tell us what they feel God is showing or telling them. Are we indeed following a stranger's voice or are we following the voice of God? I submit to everyone that if we want to hear God's voice, read His Word. It really is that simple. When we overlook God's Word to go to other people to try to get some sort of "word" or prophesy, we make that person an idol. We place that person above God. In essence when we face trials and tribulations and we will as Christians, our first priority should be to run to God's Word. Pray and study His Holy Word. We are definitely told in Scriptures to seek out wise counsel from Godly people. I believe Proverbs 12:15, Proverbs 13:10, and Proverbs 20:18 would all agree with this. However the problem arises when we place wise counsel over seeking God for ourselves.
Are you following a stranger's voice or are you diligently waiting to hear from God through His written Word? Are you dependent upon people to tell you what Scripture will clearly show you? Do you run to people for advice more than you turn to God? It is my prayer that all of us will run to our Heavenly Father to seek Him for the answers we so desperately need. He is ever willing to hear us when we call upon Him. Have you called upon our Heavenly Father today?
Psalm 37:5 - Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.
Psalm 37:6 - And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Psalm 50:15 - And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

The discipline of our Heavenly Father. Simple Truth Devotion
In contemplating this devotion I tried to think of people who enjoyed being disciplined. I could not think of one person who would say that they love and enjoy being disciplined. As a girl growing up in a small town, I remember my mother disciplining me. I was generally disciplined for getting out of line or doing something that I wasn't supposed to do.
When I think about the discipline that comes from our Heavenly Father, I think about how God loves us. For some it may be difficult to picture discipline and love in the same sentence. But on the contrary, what parent does not discipline their child? If you love your child then you must show that love by disciplining your child when he or she requires it. The Scriptures tell us that our Heavenly Father disciplines us because He loves us. Consider the following Bible passages:
Proverbs 3:12 – "For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth."
Hebrews 12:5-6 – "And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the castening of the Lord, nor faint when thou are rebuked of Him: For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth." (Reference Hebrews 12:5-11)
Revelation 3:19 – "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Psalm 94:12 – "Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law."
Consider the following as it relates to the subject of discipline:
*Discipline is needed so that we are not carried away with the world. (Reference 1 Corinthians 11:32)
*Discipline is needed so that we are not destroyed. (Reference Proverbs 29:1)
*Discipline is needed so that we are formed into the image of Christ. (Consider Romans 8:28-29; 2 Corinthians 3:18)
*Discipline shows the love of God toward His children. (Consider Job 5:17-18; Revelation 3:19)
Should you find yourself under the chastening rod of our Heavenly Father, then cry out to Him. The Psalmist writes the following:
O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed." (Psalm 6:1-2)
Let us not forget that because of God's love He corrects us. Let us ever seek to live according to His Holy Word. While we are being disciplined, let us cry out to the Lord that He may have mercy on us, forgive us, and restore us. Let us ever seek to praise His Holy Name.
In Christ, our only hope: Heavenly Father thank You for Your love that You show towards Your children every day. Thank You for the discipline that we need to keep us separated and cleansed from this wicked and dying world. Father God help us to shine the Light of Your Son to a lost and dying generation. May we ever seek to please You in everything that we do. Help us to be gentle, loving, caring, and kind towards others. May You ever deal with us as with sons. We thank You for Your goodness, Your discipline, and Your correction for we know that You are working out Your perfect will in our lives. We thank You for Your mercy. In Jesus Name, Amen.
May the words of this song reach deep down into your spirit.
Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of God's unchanging love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

The Runaway Bride. A Biblical Look at the Apostate Church. The Simple Truth.
*Disclaimer: For the moment I am going to take a minor detour from the subject matter of Christian single women to focus on issues that are relevant to the Body of Christ in general. This blog post is a reflection of such a detour.
We live in a society today where you can find a church just about on every corner. In some neighborhoods, you find the church just down the street from the liquor store. There are new churches being planted annually by various organizations throughout our country and even the world. With so many churches it goes without saying that it should be easy to find a Biblically based church that teaches God's Word unashamed. Now I underlined the word "unashamed" as there are many churches that will teach whatever you desire to hear; but very few churches are willing to preach the Word of God unashamed. I often talk to brothers and sisters in Christ who share their frustration with trying to find a Bible teaching church. So my question is, "Don't you have a church in your neighborhood?" Although I know the answer to that question, I'm just trying to make some light conversation…and possibly add some of my humor to the subject matter. Notwithstanding there are many churches but few that teach the uncompromised Word of God. Why? Because many have gathered to themselves their own kinds of teachers. (Reference 2 Timothy 4:3-4) The other issue is that today's modernized "Christian" has no desire to hear the Truth. They can't handle the Truth. They want to be motivated to serve God. This is why we find Apostate churches so prevalent today. And let me tell you, it is best that you get a full understanding of what an Apostate Church looks like so as to avoid it at all cost.
The word apostasy means to remove, abandon, to become renegade. When I talk about the Apostate church I am referring to churches that are far removed from the counsel of God, His Holy Word. The Apostate Church refers to any church were God's Word has been exchanged for that which appeals to emotionalism, sensationalism, and often times idolatry. In essence these Apostate churches have exchanged the Truth for a lie, plain and simple. (Reference Romans 1:25)
Romans 1:25 – "because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen." (ESV)
Here are a few things you may find in an Apostate Church:
*seeker-friendly worldly methods used to build church membership instead of allowing God to bring the people to the church. (Reference Acts 9:31; Acts 12:24)
*a business model that has been employed to build church membership so as to add numbers to the business, not necessarily to add numbers to the Kingdom of God.
*a focus on building worldly programs: i.e. classes that teach on empowerment, self-esteem, so on and so forth…you get my point here.
*sin is rampant within the church and is not being addressed from the pulpit.
*the preaching on sin, repentance, grace, humility, and the Cross of Christ have been exchanged for a lighter message which appeals to the emotions and senses.
Let us take a look at a few Scriptures.
Ephesians 5: 26-27 "that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that He might present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish." (ESV).
So as to keep with the context of this Scriptural passage, it is safe to state that this passage is in conjunction of speaking about the marriage relationship between husbands and wives. This particular passage comes just after the Apostle Paul provides instructions for husbands as how they are to love their wives. So let us take a look at this passage again in its context.
Ephesians 5:25-27 "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her, that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that He might present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish." (ESV). Now do you see it? Just look at the way Christ loves the Church, His true Body. This is why I wanted to include this passage here. Jesus Christ loves the Church so much that He desires to present the church without spot or wrinkle so that she (the Church) might be holy and without blemish.
What we have today are "churches" that have ran far away from Christ's cleansing power. These runaway brides have no delight in Christ washing them clean so that they can be presented without spot or wrinkle. These "churches" have exchanged the glory of God for a lie. Because of this, God has given them over to the lusts of their own desires. Romans chapter one talks about God's wrath being revealed against all unrighteousness. (Ref. Romans 1:18-32)
Romans 1:18-19 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God hath shewed it unto them." (KJV)
Add water and stir: This indeed is the concept of the Apostate Church. The true Gospel has been so watered down that it isn't the Gospel at all. God's Word has been kicked out and traded for what will bring in more people, satisfy the masses, and make one feel good. These same "churches" that are teaching the feel-good message are teaching the doctrine of demons. Here are some Scriptures that further emphasize the point.
1 Timothy 4: 1 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." (KJV)
2 Peter 2:1-2 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of." (KJV)
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 "The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (ESV)
A hatred for God: Now we see the true heart of an Apostate Church, a hatred for God and His Word. This is the only logical explanation as to why there is such a detour away from that which is holy and pure to that which is worldly. The Apostate Church has set itself as an enemy (enmity) of God. (Ref. James 4:4) Therefore the things that are worldly are seen as more desirable; that which is holy is frowned upon. You may be tempted to say that "hatred" is a strong word. Yes, I would agree with you wholeheartedly. Nonetheless, it is a truthful statement. We are to hate what God hates and love what God loves. Now that's not popular is it?
The runaway church as it seems is a church that has turned aside from proclaiming God's Word and have closed their ears to what is righteous, what is true, what is Holy. They are a rebellious church, a rebellious people.
Isaiah 30:9-11 "For they are rebellious people, lying children, children unwilling to hear the instruction of the Lord; who say to the seers, 'Do not see,' and to the prophets, 'Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions, leave the way, turn aside from the path, let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.'" (ESV)
Here is the Simple Truth: The Apostate Church exists because some who profess Christianity do not want to hear the TRUTH! The Truth is too offensive for those who enjoy the Sunday morning emotionalism that is prevalent throughout many pulpits. The sensationalism that occurs in these "churches" on Sunday is a shame to the Cross of Jesus Christ. This isn't "Church for Dummies". This is a flagrant disregard for anything that resembles the Bible. Let me share something with you. For those who attend such churches there is a disregard for studying, reading, and meditating on the Word of God. There is a dismissal of researching and applying Scripture in these Apostate churches.
In conclusion, any message that makes one feel good should be checked through the lenses of the Bible. What often remains is a motivational message that you probably can get from the self-help section of any book store.
What is God's mandate for us where the Apostate Church is concerned?
1. To be sober-minded. 1 Peter 1: 13; 1 Peter 5:8
2. To be steadfast in prayer. Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Ephesians 6:18; Luke 18:1
3. To snatch some from the fire, if they are willing to go peacefully and leave these false churches. Jude 23
4. To speak the truth in love to those who are in these false-teaching churches. Ephesians 4:15, 25
5. To hand such a one over to Satan. 1 Corinthians 5: 4-5; 1 Timothy 1:20
Further reading: Matthew 7:15-23; 24:11-28

Region's clout suffers death of thousand cuts
As if all the reshuffling of local state legislators over the last few years wasn't enough to confuse voters, throw in the latest reapportionment.
Reapportionment, often confused with but similar to redistricting (congressional districts), is the rewriting of House and Senate district boundaries to reflect population shifts unearthed by the latest census.
Normally, new districts take effect in the December of the next even-numbered year following a census, but a court fight over the rewrite delayed the effective date to this coming December.
The upcoming primary and general elections are the first elections under the new districts.
That means many voters - those who even know who their representatives and senators are - will find unfamiliar names on the ballot as their homes join new districts.
A good example of that is the new 112th House District, which combines parts of the former 112th and 115th districts. Rep. Kevin Haggerty of Dunmore represents the current 112th; Rep. Frank Farina of Jessup the current 115th. They have to run against each other to stay in Harrisburg.
More importantly, perhaps, this election officially will symbolize Lackawanna County's decline in influence in Harrisburg, a decline staved off for a while by past veteran legislators.
This was kind of inevitable considering that the number of kids who grew up here and left kept outnumbering the ones who stayed for so long.
Between 1940 and 2010, Lackawanna County's population dropped from 301,000 to 214,000, an almost 30 percent decline.
In the same period, Monroe County's population boomed from almost 30,000 in 1940 to almost 170,000 in 2010. We'll explain where Monroe figures in momentarily.
First, a little history.
Back in the 1940s, Lackawanna had six state House seats, all completely within its boundaries. Scranton alone had three entirely in the city.
In the post-1950 census reapportionment, the county, down a sixth of its population during the previous decade, lost a House seat, one of the Scranton seats. The rest reshuffled, but all of the five House seats still were entirely in the county.
In the 1960s, Lackawanna lost one more seat because of a nearly 10 percent population loss since 1950. The two city seats remained entirely in the city, but the other two districts combined to cover the rest of the county.
Since then, the county has had four House seats predominantly within its boundaries, but the next census signaled erosion that led to what will happen later this year.
After the 1970 census, the county picked up a seat - sort of. The 118th District, represented then by none other than Raphael Musto, added five North Pocono townships, though the majority of the district remained in Luzerne County.
The other four Lackawanna districts - the 112th, 113th, 114th and 115th - remained entirely in its boundaries, but for the first time, one of the city districts - the 113th - picked up territory outside the city (Dickson City and Throop).
In the 1980s, change accelerated. The 112th (the other city district) picked up part of Wayne County. The 113th lost Throop and Dickson City, but picked up parts of Dunmore and Taylor. The 115th moved partly into Wayne County.
The 1990s saw the county drop back to four districts, all mostly in Lackawanna, as the 118th retreated to Luzerne. The 115th moved farther into Wayne County.
After the 2000 census, rumors abounded that the county would flat out lose a district, but pressures by veteran incumbent legislators with ties to the leadership prevented that.
They could not prevent the further stretching of the districts. The 112th and 113th moved farther into the suburbs because of Scranton's population losses. The 114th, traditionally the Abingtons district, poked into Luzerne, Susquehanna and Wyoming counties. The 115th picked up two more Wayne County towns.
By the 2010 post-census reapportionment, representatives like Fred Belardi, Gaynor Cawley and his close friend, Tom Tigue - not to mention other Wilkes-Barre area legislators who worked closely with the Lackawanna guys to keep the four districts here - had all retired or been defeated and the House leadership replaced. Their replacements didn't have the connections or seniority to stave off major change, even if they wanted to, and the population loss here and growth in Monroe would have made it tough anyway.
That's right. Monroe picked up a seat.
In case you haven't heard, starting with this election, the 115th is entirely in Monroe County.
Come December, Lackawanna will have three House districts - the 112th, 113th and 114th - mostly within its boundaries, while two - the Luzerne-based 117th and 118th - move partly into the county. The 117th, represented by Republican Karen Boback of Harveys Lake, will include Dalton and Benton, La Plume and West Abington townships.
The 118th, represented by Democrat Mike Carroll of Avoca, will include Moscow and Clifton, Covington, Elmhurst, Jefferson, Madison, Roaring Brook, Spring Brook and Thornhurst townships.
So Lackawanna has more legislators representing it, but maybe less influence because the legislators have less seniority and they have to represent larger areas.
There could be a good side to this, perhaps more regional thinking, and Mr. Carroll lives in Avoca, a borough whose affinity often has been toward Lackawanna County.
Either way, major change has arrived.

Warrior Games, Day 2
May 12th, 2010 by MOTHAX
Can anyone stop the Marine Corps? So, if you haven't read Part I and Part II of my stories on the Warrior Games taking place at the US Olympic Training Center, you should do so now. Last night the actual games kicked off, and it was a sight to behold. We will begin, as usual with some videos, which the USOC has helpfully given embed codes so that I could share them with you. The first video is of the opening ceremony, and the second of the events last night: wheelchair basketball and seated volleyball. Seriously, the USMC is schooling folks out here, and they aren't shy about it. I did a bunch of interviews with athletes, generals and moms during the games, and all you can hear is the Marine supporters cheering loudly in the background, it is incredible. The Navy team has these cowbells that are rather obnoxious (in a good way) as well. Two things that stand out to me from yesterday deserve sharing here. (I will share everything in my wrap up when I put my interviews and pictures into a video to post.) The first was a young man I talked to from the Army, Warrant Officer Holsey. Talking to this guy was absolutely amazing. He's an amputee, but he's no victim, and he made that incredibly clear. I talked to him about Walter Reed, and I won't spoil the interview for you right now, but suffice to say I would like to get the Washington Post and NYT in a room with this guy. They'd leave crying in shame after 20 minutes. Anyway, I found a video of him I wanted to share: And the second thing I wanted to relay touched me even more, and I think summed up exactly what these games are about. I went to the Army-Navy wheelchair basketball game and it was tight. And if you've never seen a game of it, it is no joke. They were clobbering each other out there. Both teams were fighting as hard as they could, and there wasn't an ounce of give by either of them. But at one point a chair got flipped over (yeah, they hit that hard) and the ball got stolen by the other team. Despite the relatively easy fast break that team had, 2 team members immediately helped the guy who was on the other team get back into his chair. One minute they were beating hell out of each other, and the next giving up easy points in a close game to make sure that their brother wasn't struggling alone. That's what makes them heroes.

The next time I read
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

LSU Game Press ConferenceOpening Comments & First Five Questions Transcript
"LSU week as we all know is a big week. SEC games late in November--last time at home. Last time for our seniors at home in Bryant-Denny playing the third-ranked team in the country, a team that's ranked high in just about every category offensively and defensively in the SEC and deservedly so. They are well coached. LSU's got real good athletes. They are big, big good athletes on both sides of the ball up front. Offensively they can score in a lot of ways, running the football, they've got receivers who have got good speed and size and can take a short pass, a short screen pass which they like to throw a lot of and get that in the end zone. And then they can go deep on you.
"Defensively, they've got a lot of different packages. A lot of different blitz packages that present a lot of problems. We've got to make sure we do a real good job in practice emphasizing all the things that we are going to see and how important it is it to be ready for the blitz. Special teams wise I think they are leading the SEC in both kick off returns and punt returns so it's a big week for us. Our guys--inn getting to know these guys over the course of this year, their eyes light up. The higher the ranked team we I think the bigger their eyes get and the more they light up to play. I think that was evident with the Oklahoma game earlier in the year and of course during the season Arkansas coming in and then Tennessee coming in later.
"It will be a great challenge for us. We've got to have three good days of preparation and get ourselves ready for Saturday night for our last home game."
Mike, it seems like every other week you're playing a great quarterback. Can you talk about Matt Mauck and what problems he poses for you?
"He's done a nice job. He's the field general so to speak and he's got a strong arm. He's accurate. They do a lot of checking at the line of scrimmage so you can get a feel. A lot of times when you watch film as a coach of opposing offenses you can kind of get a feel of a guy. He's very similar to Casey Clausen at Tennessee and how well they understand what they're doing and get themselves in good positions. Their offense puts themselves in good positions to be in the right play I should say. It's a challenge for our defensive backs. We need to obviously get pressure on them. I thought we did that last week fairly well. If we can do that again this week with our defensive line without having to blitz so to speak, I think that's going to be a factor for him as it would be for any quarterback."
You've sometimes gone back to your time as a player here. Can you go back to your last game as a senior? What do you remember from all that?
"It happens fast. That's what I remember. All of the sudden you are here as a freshman trying to find your way to the bookstore and the next thing you know, you're playing your last game. We've talked to our players about memories. You're always going to remember your last few games, especially your senior year. Some of them because of the teams we play, some of them because of it being your last game at home. I think that will go through their minds a little bit this week and they want to go out with a win. Obviously everybody does, but when you turn the tape on and you watch LSU, I think you're going to get focused in a hurry on what we have to get done as a team and as individuals because these guys are very good and worthy of their ranking in my opinion."
Mike, Shaud's (Williams) got a chance to have the best single season rushing season ever at the University of Alabama. Could you talk about how he's accomplished that and what he means to this team?
"I think the number one thing that's been surprising to me is his durability. And I've been around some smaller type backs so to speak but not one that's carried the ball as much as he has and continued to be successful. I don't think he's missed any practice time. A lot of it has to do with his ability but there's almost just as much because of his instincts. He understands the running game. He understands running with the football. And he always seems to be one step ahead of the guy who's trying to tackle him. That's going to be another thing: guys have talked about that, and him being close to this single season rushing record, obviously it's going to be a huge challenge this week. They're first I think in rushing defense, given up 60 yards per game. They've got big guys up front and speed. And they'll do a lot of things, too, to try to keep an extra guy so to speak as we've all talked about up inside for the running game. And they can afford to do that because their corners are good. They've got real good cover corners. They allow their corners to go play one on one with receivers and not give them as much help as a lot of teams would have to give their corner."
Did you see anything in last year's game that could help with this year's game plan or has too much changed over the course of one year?
"We've looked at that game, and y'all know better than I do that that was a close game all the way up until right at the two minute drive right at the end of the half where Alabama was down and they backed up and they went and took the ball down the field. There are certain things we can look at and, really in all three phases. Some of it is personnel from the guys that are returning and the other part is scheme. I not sure what percentage of that stuff we'll actually put into what we're doing. Some of it's similar. Some of it's different."
Coach, how valuable will Charlie Harbison be considering he was on the LSU staff last year? You talked about Sparky Woods on the Mississippi State staff last year, how about Coach Harbison?
"I think it's very similar. The first thing is personnel, just getting a feel for what their players do obviously much more so than we would any other week. What certain guys do well? What certain guys don't do well? Experienced guys, young guys. What they'll come in (with). Defensively they'll have different packages with different personnel, and what certain guys do when they come in the game--in Coach Harbison coaching the secondary last year there. So there are some things there. But they're aware of that, too. And if they feel like there's something that he has tendency wise, I'm sure they'll try to do things to break those tendencies. You've still got to go out there and play the game. It's our players against their players. But hopefully it will give us a little bit of knowledge, more so personnel, than anything else."

A round at Pebble Beach is pretty, pricey
Golf links spectacular, breathtaking, challenging — and yes, expensive
A listing of the public golf courses in and around Monterey, other than Pebble Beach (prices include cart).
Bayonet and Black Horse: These former military courses at Fort Ord, which date back to the mid-1950s and have recently been completely overhauled, offer some of the best and most challenging golf in Monterey. At 7,100 yards from the back tees, the Bayonet Course is so long, narrow and tough that it has regularly hosted qualifying events for the PGA Tour and U.S. Open. A renovation of the Black Horse Course was completed in 2008, and it features dramatic doglegs and jagged-edged bunkers reminiscent of those at San Diego's own Barona Creek. Cost: $140 weekdays, $160 weekends.
Del Monte Golf Course: The parkland course is inland, only a couple of minutes from downtown Monterey, and is the least expensive of the facilities operated by the Pebble Beach Co. Del Monte also holds an impressive distinction: Designed in 1897, it is the oldest course in operation west of the Mississippi. Cost: $110 per round every day.
Laguna Seca Golf Ranch: Celebrating its 40th birthday this year, Laguna Seca was the best "find" on a recent trip. It's the least-talked-about Monterey course because it's a "locals" track tucked away in the hills. The course rolls up and down through old-growth trees and is challenging without being overbearing. Cost: $84 every day.
Monterey Pines Golf Course: The only true "budget" course in Monterey. The 5,500-yard layout, which was completely renovated in 2009, is on the grounds of the Naval Postgraduate School near downtown Monterey, but also is open to the public. Cost: $34 weekdays/$37 weekends.
Pacific Grove Golf Links: Considering the value of its green fee and the uniqueness of the golfing experience, this is the one "must-play" for every golfer who visits Monterey. Opened in 1932, PG has a mostly ordinary inland front nine followed by a spectacular back nine set in the dunes. It is gritty, wind-swept, challenging links golf at its best. Being able to smell the sea and gaze between shots at the 155-year-old Point Pinos Lighthouse makes it even more of a treat. My accommodations at the beautifully renovated Sunset Inn ($139 a night in the spring) were within walking distance of the course. Cost: $59 weekdays, $65 weekends.
Poppy Hills Golf Course: Operated by the Northern California Golf Association, Poppy is next door to Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill in the Del Monte Forest, so it's beautiful, and it costs far less to play if you join the NCGA for as little as $36. It was long a site in the PGA Tour's course rotation until last year, and Poppy is absolutely worth playing for the price. Cost: $73 weekdays, $90 weekends with NCGA membership; $200 for nonmembers.
Quail Lodge Golf Club: Located in the Carmel Valley, the proprietors boast about the abundance of warmth and sunshine when contrasted with the coast. The layout could be compared to La Costa; the scenery is beautiful and the course meticulously maintained. The once-bustling Lodge has been shuttered since late last year because of the economy, but the golf is still first-rate. Cost: $185 every day.
Rancho Cañada Golf Club: Set against Santa Lucia Mountain, this 30-year-old, inland facility has two courses, East and West, that work their way back and forth across the Carmel River. They offer a variety of shots, from narrow doglegs to wide-open straight drives. The greens are very large. Cost: $84 every day.
Spyglass Hill Golf Course: Opened in 1966 and perennially ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top 10 public courses in America, Spyglass is arguably more challenging than Pebble Beach. It also features incredible scenery, with four of the first five holes played in sand dunes before moving into the forest, where deer sightings are common. Cost: $350 per round every day.
The Links at Spanish Bay: Designed in 1987 by a team that included Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Tom Watson, Spanish Bay is beloved by many for the authenticity of its links experience. But others dislike it for its numerous blind shots and severely undulating greens. It's definitely a course that takes more than one round to appreciate the nuance. Cost: $260 per round every day.

Edwina Pearce, a spokeswoman for the Cancer Council Victoria, which produced the ad in Australia, said the boy, whom she identified only as Alexander, shed real tears.
"We didn't do anything dastardly to make him cry. He did get upset, but it was about a 10-second period that he was upset for and then his mother came back and gave him a big cuddle and everything was happy again."
Sure, the anti-smoking forces say the "ends justify the means," but what if smacking the kid around would stop 100 people from smoking, or barbecuing the kid on a spit would stop 1000 people from smoking? Let's just leave the kids out of the fight altogether, shall we?
The real problem is there aren't even any cigarettes in the ad. Idea: Kid forced to smoke a whole carton of Marlboros, live on tape? [NYDN]

Whitley Bay 3-2 Gateshead
Gateshead paid the price for a lacklustre performance in their final pre-season game when they went down by the odd goal in the five at FA Vase holders Whitley Bay.
Only two of the starting line up were nailed on to face Histon in the Blue Square Premier opener on Saturday but that was no excuse for a lamentable first half display.
The side played like strangers with the midfield over run and the defence too easily opened up as Bay scored twice and also hit the post.
Six players almost certain to be starters against Histon were brought on for the second half and while there was an improvement manager Ian Bogie was still disappointed by the showing at Hillheads.
"We won the second half 2-1 but it was a disappointing performance over the 90 minutes, and in particular in the first half," said Bogie.
"The players probably underestimated Whitley Bay, who played well. They weren't technically better than us but we lacked desire and there is no excuse for that.
"It was a chance for players to put themselves in the frame for the 16 to face Histon but they didn't take it, and I won't tolerate displays like this.
"We didn't apply ourselves but the positive is that it wasn't a league game and we haven't lost any points.
"We now face a big week of preparation and I'm confident we'll be ready and raring to go for the big opener against Histon on Saturday."
Few players enhanced their reputation at Hillheads and the Tynesiders were chasing the game as early as the fourth minute.
Paul Chow won an aerial dual with Stephane Pelonde and summer signing Richard Hodgson showed good skill to slip the ball past Paul Farman.
Graeme Armstrong was off target with two efforts from Jamie Harwood crosses either side of Farman making a flying one handed save from a Paul Robinson free kick.
A poor Phil Cave clearance then saw Robinson find Chris Moore who in turn set up Chow whose 16 yard drive hit the post.
Steven Richardson shot wide from 25 yards before Whitley doubled their lead on the half hour when the Gateshead defence were torn apart.
Moore and Hodgson combined to find the unmarked Adam Johnston and the former Gateshead front man beat an exposed Farman.
Hodgson then almost made it three with an acrobatic overhead kick that was blocked by Farman on the line.
Gateshead made six changes at half-time and one of them, Kris Gate, thundered a shot against the inside of the post in the first minute.
Alex Francis, later to sustain a twisted knee, then had a 25 yard shot turned past the post before Gateshead reduced the arrears on 64 minutes.
A neat Francis lay-off saw Gate send Phillips clear and his low shot hit the post and then cannoned back into the net off prostrate Bay keeper Kevin Kindley.
Gateshead however were again undone by a high ball into the box when another former Tynesider, David Coulson, rose above Chris Swailes at the back post to head home.
Gate's short ball saw Armstrong give Gateshead a lifeline four minutes later but an injury to Francis saw Bogie's men finish the game with ten men.
Gateshead: Farman (Provett 45), Pelonde (Baxter 45), Cave (Robinson 45), McDermott (Gate 45), Curtis, Swailes, Harwood (Brittain 45), Francis, Armstrong, Richardson (Turnbull 45), Phillips

DETROIT (AP) -- A man has been arrested following the stabbing of a 14-year-old boy on a Detroit public bus.
WDIV-TV reports that the teen identified his attacker from a police photo lineup.
Police say two riders were arguing on a Detroit Department of Transportation bus around 6 p.m. Wednesday. After the boy tried to intervene, a man involved in the dispute stabbed him in the chest.
Police tell the television station that the teen was defending himself and punched the man in the nose before the stabbing.
The boy ran from the bus and called 911. He was listed Thursday in critical condition at a Detroit hospital.

Paula Lee is one of those cute European girls who is probably the reason you see so many guys going off to backpack through Europe right after college! This chick really knows where things are at, sex-wise. She first showed up on the Reality Kings network back in 2006, and since then she has set the world on fire! If you haven't seen the work that she has done for Euro Sex Parties, you are really missing out!
Date: Monday, November 6, 2006
Roaming the streets of Europe, we came across this pair of hot chicks coming out of a flower shop. Paula and Natalie were all about showing us their flowers. After some quick chit chatting, we were off to the sex lair. Man, i doubt we were ready for what was about to happen. These chicks revealed their round natural perky breasts and their tight round juicy asses with little to no complaints. Then the champion cocksucking skills were shown only to be outdone by the intense pussy fucking action that was to follow. Good shit here fellas.

Lafayette, LA (Sports Network) - Frankie Jackson rushed for 77 yards and two
touchdowns and the Arkansas State Red Wolves gashed the Louisiana Ragin'
Cajuns, 50-27, in a Sun Belt Conference tilt.
Rocky Hayes and David Oku each ran for over 80 yards and a touchdown while
Ryan Aplin threw for 269 yards with a score to complement a Red Wolves running
attack that amassed 257 yards on the ground.
Arkansas State (5-3, 3-1 Sun Belt) picked up its first win in Lafayette since
1992 and won its third straight game overall.
Terrance Broadway threw three interceptions for Louisiana (4-3, 2-2), which
had its eight-game home win streak snapped. Broadway finished with 374 yards
and three touchdowns on 28-of-39 efficiency in the loss.
Darryl Surgent's second touchdown from Broadway was on a 25-yard connection
early in the third quarter, but Oku and Hayes went in from five and 57 yards
out, respectively, to give Arkansas State a commanding 40-14 lead.
Brian Davis added a 29-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, his fifth of the
game after hitting from 47 and 22 yards in the opening frame and 45 and 21
yards late in the second.
Jackson bulled his way over the goal line for a 2-yard TD with just over a
minute left in the game, and Broadway hooked up with James Butler in the end
zone just as time expired.
Jackson made it 13-0 with an 11-yard TD run on the first play of the second
quarter, and less than a minute later Julian Jones hauled in a 35-yard
touchdown pass from Aplin after Broadway threw an interception.
Surgent scored on a 38-yard grab midway through the second, and Torrey Pierce
ran for a Ragin' Cajuns touchdown in the fourth.

Spread It Wide

This site is closed.
Of course, we all enjoy watching Internet sluts get fucked and taking loads of cum all over their pretty faces. However, you know, sometimes you just want to enjoy the beauty of one woman bringing herself to orgasm without any other people getting in the way. Spread It Wide is a site that understands that.
Maybe you want to see a hot babe stripping and posing on a staircase. However, you are in the mood to watch a dark-haired beauty slide a dildo up each of her tight holes. Maybe you just want to sit back, relax and jerk yourself off to some big-breasted bitch fingering herself to orgasm on a couch. The great thing is that you can do all three at SpreadItWide.
The amount of content is good. I counted 74 videos and 266 photo sets so far. These are real masturbation scenes also, I mean when these chicks orgasm you know they aren't faking it. The videos I checked out ranged in length from about one to 10 minutes long, were of great quality and were downloadable in QuickTime and Windows Media formats.
The site has gone through a redesign and while it does look better, it might be a little confusing at first to find the content you are looking for. The reason for that is that now your membership gets you access to three network bonus sites, including: Oral Amber, Oral Creampie and Cum Fixation.
The page that you arrive at first is actually a network home page and you will have to click the link at the very top of the page in order to get to the Spread It Wide members' area. Once you are there though, you will find hot babes and very good quality solo masturbation content, which makes the search worth while.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Who doesn't love to have a bright and beautiful smile? The packaging toys with the very idea of healthy smiles that Trident Xtra Care chewing gum vouches for and thus the series.
From the designer:
Think about the idea of having a built-in weighing machine inside the handle of your suitcase? Interesting right? Well, Weighing Handle revolves around this very thought so that people can easily take a note of the weights then and there, as they pick up their individual baggage using their handles.
There were several "concept" cars for display at the Tokyo Motor Show 2011. However, Mitsubishi's opinion of how automobile interfaces may look like in the next 10 years was a little more interesting. Called the EMIRAI automotive interface, the car featured a curved, touch-screen rear projection display.
Rain, rain come again! You would have said so if you had one of these growing raincoats. Replicating the idea that is used in vertical gardening on buildings, designer Airi Isoda from Wrk-shp has created this Tyvek raincoat which keeps you dry but simultaneously makes use of the rain to let the greens pop up.
While plastic packaging has become a concern, researches are being made for replacements aimed to be biodegradable and hence ecologically responsible. One such paper packaging option is Billerud's Fibreform. It being biodegradable, recyclable and cost-effective, opens up another venue in product packaging industry.
'Going green' is an important topic across all large corporations. Wasting paper in offices is a big and sensitive issue for a lot of people. Just to make things a bit better, here's a concept printer from designer Sharsha Lee from Liteon Technology Corp. The Eco Printer will use specialized ink consisting of photographic materials that will completely disappear when placed under UV radiation.

Spring's arrival has brought big changes and weighty revelations to our backyard poultry ranch, not least of which is the snow melting. Bigger yet, though is this news: our goose is laying! I say "goose," because, contrary to what our previous beliefs of the gender distribution of our American buff goose flock – that is, two geese, one gander – it's recently been revealed to us that we in fact have two ganders and one goose. That's been a tough pill to swallow.
A few months back, we slaughtered a goose thinking we had three geese and one gander, namely the Protester. Yeah, he's a gander, but the Hisser, whom we'd always just thought was an ill-tempered goose, is actually a gander, too.
A lot of observation and deduction and sage poultry wisdom (not ours, I might add) brought about this revelation. So a couple weeks ago, I was interviewing Frank Reese Jr., a highly-respected poultry breeder in Kansas. As we've mentioned in previous blogs, the Hisser and the Protester have acted really aggressive lately, hissing and biting almost anybody who enters the backyard. (We've started dealing with that more proactively; more to come in a future blog.)
After getting through official interview business with Frank, I asked him about the problems we've been having with our geese. Without missing a beat, Frank, who's passionately dedicated to maintaining and upholding strict breeding standards, stated that the Protester isn't a purebred American Buff. His aggression, his body posture (upright rather than more parallel with the ground), the knob he's developed at the top of his beak, his beak's deep orange hue -- Frank said American Buff beaks should be pale orange to flesh-colored, not red-orange; "Their beaks shouldn't match the color of the feet," he said after refering the the American Poultry Association's breeding standards) -- and his great size are all uncharacteristic of American Buff geese. "You got a Chinese goose there," Frank told me. Likely, the Protester has both Chinese and American buff genes.
There's also a chance the Hisser has some Chinese genes as well, though the smallest goose – whom we've never bothered to name – appears to be more full-blooded American Buff, and Goose, whom we slaughtered last year, likely had even stronger American Buff lineage. Ah, the travails and missteps of novice poultry breeders!
Here you get a better sense of the Protester's size. Goose (left), the goose we slaughtered last year, was the smallest of all the birds. She also had the lightest bill color.
Frank also said that it's really uncommon for geese, i.e. female geese, to be aggressive. What's probably happening with the Hisser, he explained, is that she is actually a he and he's defending his goose and his territory.
We've been observing the geese really closely since talking to Frank, and it appears that he's correct. The Protester and the Hisser hover over the little goose wherever she goes. And whereas she's docile and wants nothing to do with us whatsoever, the two ganders are on constant alert, vigilantly protecting their goose.
All these revelations pose us some real challenges now. Apparently, it's not a good idea for a flock to have more ganders than geese, so we're going to have to cull either the Hisser or the Protester. Given the Protester's soiled genetics, he's the most likely candidate for the chopping block. He's also the goose we've grown most attached to. We've got big decisions to make in the coming days and weeks.
The Protester displays very aggressive behavior towards anybody that enters the backyard, especially strangers. He recently bit a guess -- who's technically my boss -- causing her to bruise quite badly. (Photo credit: Brice Portolano)
Oh, and about that goose egg I mentioned at the top: Katherine will post an update about that very shortly, so stay tuned!

Integrating Technology Into Education - Bringing It All Together
For the past six weeks, we have gone through an enormous amount
of subject matter - from creating blogs, multimedia presentations, Web 2.0
tools, and of course building an online lesson plan. Some lessons have focused
on the technical but the true nature of educational technology is quite
theoretical. It is simply applying the same tools we use to conduct everyday
life activities into the context of education. Obviously such topics have
been fragmented and you probably had a few "say what" moments but somehow there
must be an explanation on how to bring it all together. The intent of this
lecture is to explore how others have used everything from the Internet and Web
2.0 tools to basic computing capabilities to enhance learning. This lecture is
very heavily video driven (over two hours worth of content/videos this week).
The next six videos will cover a variety of topics, all of which should give you a cohesive idea on how to use what we learned in the past weeks to maximize learning in your classrooms be it a K-12 room or a college class.
With all of these videos, you must be asking - so we have all this information - how do we create a technology rich lesson plan. Well, for one, your final projects are a starting point for how to do that. You have created a blog. You have created a PowerPoint. You have created an assessment. Now the next task is to take the plunge into create a simple Website. I strongly recommend using a site like Google Docs or a Blog like Wordpress. You can even create a basic Website using Microsoft Word or Oracle Open Office. All of these are free. Your goal is to write a lesson that is fairly succinct (similar to this one) and create a lesson based on a given theme. For example, if you are a math teacher and your lesson is on Fractions. I would expect to see a few things. This is the rubric for the assignment.
A webpage introducing the lesson. (Description of lesson) (3 Points)
The lesson itself (must mix text, images, graphics etc) (7 Points)
Resource Section pointing students to resources for Websites pertaining to the topic (3 Points)
A PowerPoint presentation embedded into the Webpage or Video embedded into the Webpag)e (bonus points for original content using a platform such as SlideShare, Vimeo, YouTube etc) (4 Points
A presentation to accompany the Web based content (an original PowerPoint presentation) (3 Points)
A references section - how did you create the content. Must be in APA format (1 Point)
Reflects Strong Formatting and Solid Presentation Skills (Good layout and lesson structure) (1 Point)
Assessment - Create a short assessment to validate student knowledge (3 Points)
For some further reading, advice, and guidance, these next two sites are absolute gems. The first one gives you a strong tutorial on how to manage your way through developing an online lesson plan. The second link is a top-rated site listing all the top collaboration/Web 2.0 tools available to date that are educationally sound.
Check out this website which helps individuals learn how tointegrate technology into lesson plans. When developing your lessons, don't forgot to figure out how to make the lessons collaborative. The best site on everything Web 2.0 can be found at http://www.sacredcowdung.com/archives/2006/03/all_things_web.html. With all this information, I am confident that all of you will make learning a delightful experience for your students, and an interactive one too.
A word about your final projects.
This is a two week lecture. Your assignments are due the last day of the semester (July 29th). NO LATE ASIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED!!!! This is a group exercise so each group will need to come up with a central theme and create the content based on the rubric above.
Some of you have asked - can you provide me helpful hints. With that said, I searched the Internet and found a few great sites that should help to enhance your sites, especially for those of you who are using Wordpress. Please check this Website.
I will be posting the grades for discussions on July 25th. If you have any questions why I gave you the grades I did, please ask before it is too late. The window closes the last day of the class.
Final Thoughts
I know all of you have been racing to the finish line and this class has not
been easy. Often taught in fourteen weeks in a classroom, this class is daunting
in the six week online format. I recognize that! I sincerely appreciate your
hard work and the effort put into everything you have submitted.
As a graduate student myself twice now (been in an online classroom since 2002), I find that if you are not challenged and learn how to tinker with things especially in the educational technology area - you aren't doing enough. Technology is now part of the sum game with any educational experience. The beauty of a class such as EDU-519 is getting broad exposure to educational theory, philosophy, and methods with a technology wrapper. The intent is not to teach you how to use the tools in depth (that is the part you do on your own via constructive learning). Instead, it is to bring lots of technology concepts together and help you expand the way you present instruction to your students, colleagues, and parents alike. And we accomplished that during the past six weeks! So - congratulations to all of you.
It has been a pleasure having each and every one of you in my class this summer. I only wish you the best in your education careers in the years and decades to come.
Have a great summer and thank you!

Hi everyone!
On behalf of the whole team here at Aventurine, we'd like to thank the community for their initiative and ongoing efforts in creating and running player driven events. Be they tournaments, fun events or just random acts of kindness (you can call it carebearing if it makes you feel better ), the community on both servers has shown time and time again that they care. We'll have you know that we're very interested in player-run events!
After my blog entry a few days ago, some of you might have guessed that the development team has a strong presence in-game. Indeed, keeping tabs on what's happening, evaluating the player experience and last but not least, taking footage and screenshots of real in game happenings is important to us.
We also really enjoy keeping an eye on player created events and we're usually there when these are happening. For example, several of us, including Aventurine's CEO, where watching from the shadows during the last 1vs1 Tournament on EU organized by Ninogan Swiftstep. We'd like to congratulate the organizers and the participants of this tournament. As tiny token of appreciation we thought you might enjoy watching a short video we put together with moments from the fights. We hope to be able to do this more often (of course, also for the NA server), and we're very much looking forward to your next events.
Make sure you check out the Community Event Forums for an event near you. Additionally, we created a new facebook photo gallery specifically reserved for screenshots from player created events.
Happy fighting!

- If you have smaller kids, sometimes you don't want to Halloween to be so scary or gory- so here's a little fun Frankenstein Lantern you can whip up. He looks great sitting on a mantel or you can put him outside in good weather- he lights up and would look great guiding trick-or-treaters to your door!
- I've included some Amazon links to make your shopping easier. I'll earn a few pennies if you choose to make a purchase, so thanks in advance if you do!
- White Paper Battery-Powered Lantern
- Green Spray Paint
- Krylon Green Glitter Spray
- Black Paint
- Paintbrushes
- Googly Eyes
It's so easy- just insert the metal brace into the paper lantern to give it shape. Then spray a light coat of spray paint all over. Try not to soak it too much- you don't want to rip the paper. Let it dry completely. Then add a couple of light coats of green Glitter Spray…. after all, we want Frankenstein to be a little fancy, right? Again, let that dry overnight.
Now add the "hair." Using a fairly dry brush and light, quick strokes, brush downward from the top and make the hair. Also paint the top bit.
Add circles for eyes, and a zig-zag for the mouth. A little dot of white will make the face complete! Or…use some google eyes!
Let it dry, then you've got a fun decoration for your party.And because it lights up, it's perfect to put on your porch for All Hallow's Eve!
And if you want to take it to the next level, how about using a silver sharpie marker around the "neck" and glue on a few bolts? That would be fun, too!
Lastly, you might my post on Frankenstein marshmallow pops to round out your Frankenstein party!

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello there.
Are you asking if you may be able to file a civil lawsuit against the Sheriff's Department for releasing you?
yes I am asking? its not fair for the sheriffs dept to tell someone to turn themselves in too cover their behinds because of their mistake.
Hello again Stephanie -
I was somewhat surprised by the question -- but the answer is that you cannot file a lawsuit regarding this situation. I actually wish that you could because it might teach them from being incompetent -- but the only lawsuits that you can file against a Sheriff's department are for genuine malfeasance -- such as a bad shooting or the like. In order to remain in compliance with the law, the person should turn themselves in -- but they should ask for and receive the entire bail money that was posted for the release (whomever posted the bail -- it should be returned to them immediately upon surrender of the person it was posted for).
Please press the 3rd, 4th or 5th smile face below so I will be paid for my time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!
Hello again Stephanie --
If living in the county that released them, they should go back there and if they refuse to take the person in then they should ask what is the suggested course of action from there (should they try another SHeriff's department in that state or simply wait until the police pick the person up again in that state). Otherwise, the person can return to the state where the warrant was issued and take care of it that way. If you do make the attempt to get the Sheriff to take you back in and they refuse, you should ask for a written confirmation of that so that if it ever comes up in court you can show that you did try to do things properly (the best way would be to return to the issuing state but if you are not financially able to do that then you should keep records of your attempts to have the Sheriffs in your current state take you into custody so it will show that you were NOT ignoring it).
If you have no further questions can you please press the 3rd, 4th or 5th smile face below to pay me for my time? None of the experts who have provided answers to you will be paid for their time unless you press the 3rd, 4th or 5th smile face underneath the answer boxes. Because you are on a subscription plan, you will not be charged any additional money to press the ratings boxes -- it acts as a trigger to pay the expert for their time. FYI - I note that you did not press the rating on your prior question and just thought I would let you know that doing so will not cost you any additional money.
Hello again Stephanie --
A grand jury is called when the prosecutor is not quite certain of his case and wants confirmation that he should be charging someone with a crime. So he presents all of the evidence to a grand jury and if the grand jury feels that there is enough evidence to charge you with a crime they issue an indictment (called a "true bill" in the law -- why it is called that I do not know). Once they receive an indictment they can put out a warrant for your arrest immediately. Otherwise they have to go to a judge with all of their evidence and get a warrant for arrest that way.
Please press the 3rd, 4th or 5th smile face below so I will be paid for my time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!
