Undersheriff Jack Phillips says it was good investigative work by sheriff's deputies that led to the arrests.
He also pointed out that an increased attention has been paid to break-ins following the Hefton double homicide in July.
In early July Thomas a Viola Hefton were killed in, what may have been, a random break-in.
Phillips says it was a way to both target that type of crime in hopes of making a break in the case... and a way to ease minds of Clinton County residents who may be fearful of another random break-in attack - like the Hefton case.
Both the break-ins and Hefton homicides are ongoing investigations.

PUBLISHED February 3, 2010 0 1 / 5 Dubai's Artificial Archipelagos February 1, 2010—Two sets of human-made islands lie off the coast of Dubai in a new astronaut's-eye view of the United Arab Emirates metropolis. The Palm Jumeirah (left) required more than 1.7 billion cubic feet (50 million cubic meters) of dredged sand to create the palm tree-shaped island. The 300 islands that make up "the World" meanwhile, required 11.3 billion cubic feet (320 million cubic meters) of sand, along with 37 million tons of rock for the surrounding 16.7-mile-long (27-kilometer-long) breakwater.The recently released snapshot, taken from aboard the International Space Station, also caught the spiky shadow of the world's tallest building, the 2,600-foot-high (800-meter-high) Burj Khalifa, near the lower right edge of the frame. Photograph courtesy Johnson Space Center via NASA Earth Observatory Asteroid Collision Debris February 2, 2010—"X" marks the spot where an unusual trail of gas and dust billows across the main asteroid belt—between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter—in a new picture from the Hubble Space Telescope.The odd object P2010 A2 was first spotted in sky-survey pictures in early January. Although the object looks like a comet, astronomers think the tail is actually debris from a recent asteroid collision.In addition to the perplexing X-shaped pattern revealed by Hubble, the core of the object appears to be just outside the halo of dust at the object's head. This strengthens the case that the object is not a comet, since astronomers have never seen a comet with its core outside its halo. Images courtesy NASA, ESA, and D. Jewitt (UCLA) Massive Star Birth January 27, 2010—Gas and dust whorl around a stellar embryo as jets of material pour from the poles in an artist's rendering of the massive protostar W33A.Using an infrared instrument on the Gemini North Telescope in Hawaii, astronomers peered through the dense natal cloud surrounding W33A to see if stars much more massive than our sun form any differently than their less massive counterparts.What they found is that the process for making heavyweight stars is "reassuringly familiar, like a nice cup of tea," according to team member Melvin Hoare of the U.K.'s University of Leeds. Image by Lynette Cook, Gemini Observatory Most Distant Black Hole January 27, 2010—The most distant stellar-mass black hole yet found strips material from a massive companion star in an artist's conception.Extremely bright x-rays spotted in 2007 coming from the spiral galaxy NGC 300 first tipped off astronomers that there might be a black hole lurking inside. Now, using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, researchers have confirmed the black hole's presence and weighed the object at 15 times the mass of the sun.The new data also showed that the black hole is feeding off its larger companion, an older star that will probably become a black hole itself in less than a million years, the scientists say. Image courtesy L. Calçada, ESO Mars Rover Spirit February 2, 2010—The Mars rover Spirit snapped a picture of its robotic arm and one of its wheels on Martian day 2161 of its mission—just a few days after NASA declared the long-lived robot will now be a "stationary research platform."Although Spirit has been working for more than six years on what was meant to be a 90-day mission, the rover became almost completely stuck in a small crater filled with soft sand in May 2009.Last week NASA decided to halt efforts to free Spirit and instead use its tools to conduct a new set of science experiments that benefit from the rover staying put—assuming that the aging craft survives the oncoming Martian winter.

A woman has filed a civil lawsuit against Zach Randolph of the Portland Trailblazers, claiming that he, um… well, that he did a bunch of wild shit, some of which would make him a dirty, dirty, bastard… and some of which would make him a rapist. Henry Abbott at True Hoop went through the legal documents and found the following notes…
Randolph allegedly offered $500 to a women he knew, and another he didn't, to perform a live sex show.
The plaintiff, having had a lot to drink, allegedly fell asleep.
The plaintiff allegedly woke up to Randolph, umm, forcing entry in the back door. Twice. Which she allegedly resisted and did not want.
Randolph then allegedly forces some more entry, through the front door.
The plaintiff allegedly went to the hospital too late to collect any rape evidence (after slightly more than three days).
This is all really surprising, because so many good things can happen when you offer complete strangers $500 to exchange bodily fluids in front of you. I've never heard of a situation like that ever going wrong. Weird.
My guess is that the woman will be paid off, and that the civil suit will go away. Might be expensive for Zach Randolph… but it's the easy way out of things, he won't be going to jail, and no one will be on television discussing where his pubic hairs might have been found.
But the upside is that he and Kobe Bryant will have something to talk about next time they shake hands before a tip-off.
Kobe: Sucks, doesn't it?
Zach: Pssh. Hell yeah, it does.
Kobe: You're gettin' off easy, brother. Believe that.
Zach: (begrudging nod)

...and how it has been the subject of much debate and the source of great confusion for many people. It is a bad standard.
I found this in the introduction to a book on samba:
"A good standard survives because people know how to use it. People know how to use a standard when it is so transparent, so obvious, and so easy that it become invisible. And a standard becomes invisible only when the documentation describing how to deploy it is clear, unambiguous, and correct. These three elements must be present for a standard to be useful, allowing communication and interaction between two separate and distinct entities to occur without obvious effort. ..... Clarity and unambiguity without correctness provide a technical nightmare. Correctness and clarity with ambiguity create maybe bits, and correctness and unambiguity without clarity provide a muddle through scenario."
There has been little or no significant debate about null in Pick circles. No need. It's clear. There now exists the possibility for confusion among Pickies now too though - owing to the erroneous definition of null given in the UniVerse reference manual and quoted elsewhere in this thread. The source of that confusion stems from an attempt to fit in with SQL's standard definition.
Look - my final word on this. Null is and should be defined as an empty set. Not missing or absent or unknown or anything else. I'll accept that it's not going to change in SQL-land - and that confusion will continue to reign. I'm aware of the problem now and can live with it. Really - it's not my problem.

A piece of World War II history landed at the Missoula International Airport Monday.
The fully restored B-25 bomber, called the "Maid in the Shade," will be in Missoula all week for airplane enthusiasts and veterans.
Scott Sypherd and Larry Kline are part of the Commemorative Air Force.
The volunteer group restored the bomber with the hope it could share the story of what's called the "Greatest Generation," the men and women who fought in World War II.
Kline said, "There are a lot of people who don't understand what World War II was about and the ramifications of it. So this is our way of honoring the veterans that we owe so much to."
The B-25 in Missoula once flew missions over Yugoslavia and Italy. Now it flies across the United States so people can see how a World War II bomber looks and flies.
During the war, the plane was hit by bullets and still carries the holes to prove it.
The men who fly it now describe it as cold, noisy with no protection for the crew as the airplane's sides were paper thin.
"The men who fly these things, they're very brave, very courageous," said Sypherd.
Kline describes one veteran who flew with him in the bomber. He was with his grandsons and Kline watched as the veteran showed the young boys were he sat and what he faced when he had been a young man, caught in the conflict.
"It's amazing," Kline said. "It's amazing what these young men went through. They are all heroes. We owe them all so much."

Oracle Comments on the JCP EC Election
By Jacob Lehrbaum on Nov 04, 2010
As you may know, the JCP recently held its Executive Committee Election. Oracle's Henrik Ståhl has posted a blog entry providing some color and commentary surrounding the results of the election. In his words:
"The results of the JCP EC elections are now available. We are happy to see that two of our three nominations - Apache and Red Hat - were elected. Our third one - Hologic - was to our regret not."To read the remainder of Henrik's comments, you can check out his blog posting on the subject. As you may have heard, there was also some controversy surrounding certain nominations, and if you missed the Oracle response from Oracle's VP of Development Adam Messinger, you can read it here.

A Meridian Township home is being called a "complete loss" after a fire Tuesday night.
Firefighters responded to a home on Newman Rd. shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday when flames were already through the roof. Meridian Township crews put out the fire after 8 p.m. but continued to tackle hot spots throughout the night.
The family was not home when the fire started. The cause is still under investigation.

Anxiety attack chat rooms are a great place to receive panic support and gain friends who know what you're going through.
It can feel lonely, frustrating and depressing to go through anxiety attacks which may lead to agoraphobia. No one knows what it's like or how it really feels, not your family, not even doctors.
To be honest, it's not their fault for not understanding because a person really needs to have been through the nightmare to fully understand what it's like.
This is one reason it's a good idea to get involved in an online anxiety attack chat room. This is a place where people understand you and you will understand them.
Perhaps you may even share a few laughs.
It's funny how you can joke amongst each other, yet when a non-sufferer accidentally says something to rub you the wrong way, it might make you incredibly angry and unforgiving.
A good anxiety chat room is a great place to give and receive support. It gives you a sense of belonging. You could very easily bond with total strangers who will offer advice on what worked for them.
It's important to look around to find a resource that is good. There are virtually thousands of these chat rooms. Some will not be monitored, or have low activity.
Others may have people who have no panic attack problems but come in to cause trouble. You want to keep away from those. Try to look for a reputable one that will ban troublesome characters.
In a good panic anxiety chat room, there may be people who may offer words of advice or comfort, since they have been through it and may have improved tremendously.
This offers you hope that YOU TOO can do it, even though you may feel at this point in time that you cannot improve and that nothing can make you feel better. Don't ever think that!
Anxiety attack chat rooms can help restore your belief and give you some confidence. The panic support you receive from others can help you plan goals and eventually achieve them.

04/29/2012, Mosquito Lagoon
Our underway adventure, from Daytona Beach to New Smyrna Beach, was, again, under beautiful Fl skies!! The Waterway runs a straight line along the western shore of Indian River...outside is a maze of mangrove islands and winding natural channels. You can see evidences of previous routes through the groves; one of which is "Turtle Mound" (a Native American Look-out). It was built over 500 yrs ago out of oyster shells piled 50ft high.
Onward to explore Ponce de Leon Inlet. We came thru the Ponce de Leon cut, although both were accessible. The Inlet was all shoaled and not well marked. Both accesses allowed us to see the Ponce de Leon Lighthouse. At 159ft, it's the tallest lighthouse in Fl and the 2nd tallest in the nation.
Once we reached north of the G. Summons Bascule Bridge, we saw many boats anchored on the western side. There was a visible sandbar...and it was beyond us as well as the bridge operator how to get there...so through the bascule bridge to the "free" town docks (2 curved docks). However, the docks are under repair and there is no tie-up...so onward to the Smyrna Yacht Club. The YC did not have dock space for us as they were hosting their annual Lipton Cup Races; however, they could not be more accommodating!! We were allowed dinghy tie-up at their dock, use of their dining rooms, Tiki Bar and access to the main road w/our bikes. And I must say....we met the most wonderful YC members!! "Lou" greeted us at the dinghy dock (we now have designated her as the official greeter!!), invited us to watch the races w/her and subsequently introduced us to very gracious welcoming people. Thank you Lou and Warren!! Plse stay in touch!!
Jim and I spent our 1st nite dinghy-ing around. Thanks to the late sculptress Doris Leeper, New Smyrna consistently places as one of the best small art towns in America. The ICW south splits the town into two. Flagler Avenue, the beachside main drag has an "Old Florida" mix of restaurants, art shops, etc. On the mainland, historic Canal Street serves as the center of attention and antiques. Dozens of art galleries are split between the two. We attempted to go to the "Little Drug Company," listed in the cruising guides as famous for their ice cream and milk shakes...but I must say we were terribly disappointed w/the lack of available hours that they were open. We tried twice...once they were just about to close (5pm) and the 2nd time they were closed (Saturday at 3pm...)...We proceeded to bring our dinghy into the municipal marina...the dockmaster is originally from Charlestown, RI...and he let us stay there while we went to dinner. Went to the "Dolphin View"...a real local, on the porch, paper plates kind of place but the fish was good!!
On Saturday, Jim and I biked to the New Smyrna Beach...beautiful...rode bikes on the beach, watched the races, biked to the Inlet and shopped!! Had lunch and watched races from a "must" local beach bar..."Tony and Joe's", at the end of Flagler. I had never heard of New Smyrna beach...located amongst a natural opening in the barrier islands that connects the north end of the Mosquito Lagoon and the south end of the Halifax River. The community has exacted a low impact development w/enforced setbacks to protect its' dune-laden coastline. The result is a pristine beach w/an unpretentious town!! It has its'farmers markets on various Saturdays, and the "art and wine walk" on alternating Saturdays! We took a break from our 15-mile bike ride (it is getting hot and humid here!) to stop at the Night Swan B&B (almost all food establishments on Canal St and around seem to be closed on Saturdays)...they had a sign advertising wonderful cappuccinos and desserts! (Of course this was after our ice cream at Treats on the Beach)...we were not disappointed as we relaxed on their porch and watched a wedding taking place on their lawn!!
Off to the YC...at which time our friends invited us for a cold drink and ultimately dinner...a wonderful, unexpected surprise of an evening. We said our good-byes...as the wait staff was trying to close...and plan to get up in the morning, u/w to Mosquito Lagoon for 1-night on anchor...or according to Lou, now known as "Indian River Lagoon" so as not to deter cruising tourists!
From New Smyrna Beach, the ICW tracks its' way through a large expanse of mud flats; depths right outside of the channel run in inches...keeping a careful eye on the marked Waterway AND the depth sounder is critical!! We were so pleasantly surprised to pass "Iolar" with Walter and Lynn on board, going North...friends we had met in Elizabeth City!! Lots of screaming, waving and ultimately a short radio conversation let us know they are headed home.
We arrived in Mosquito Lagoon (aka Indian River Lagoon!) late morning and anchored. Mosquito Lagoon is not a very reassuring name for an anchorage!! We explored the Canaveral Nat'l Seashore by dinghy and foot...the Atlantic looked a little ominous after being in the ICW for so long...and off on the far shore we could just catch a glimpse of the Space Center!!
There are suppose to be frequent sightings of dolphin and manatee in this shallow lagoon...but you can't prove it by me!! Jim, however, has spotted both. Supposedly, Christopher Columbus was the 1st European to report seeing a manatee w/its' cleft face and coarse whiskers...his crew thought they had sighted the mythical half-female, half-fish mermaids. Talk about delusional after months at sea without women. Oh well...stay tuned...
04/27/2012, The Beach
Underway from Marineland Marina to Daytona Beach on a rising tide on Wed, April 25th via the ICW. There is much history along this section of the waterway. General Hernández once owned land along the waterway (Bella Vista Plantation). He not only was a farmer but a military leader during the Seminole Wars. Between uprisings, he quietly cultivated sea cotton and oranges here. Unfortunately, his military success cost him his homestead...in retaliation for his leadership in the Seminole Wars, the Seminole Indians burned his entire plantation to the ground. It is now a park, w/some archaeological excavating producing remnants of the foundation of his home.
History states that apparently President Herbert Hoover was transiting this area of the waterway aboard the "Sequoia." The yacht made an abrupt turn, Hoover was thrown from his chair, and angrily shouted, "Someone ought to straighten out this damn curve..."and so they did!! That part of the waterway is now straight and a new island has been created..."Snake Island." Believe it or not...
Two unusual retirement hangouts overlook the waterway as we approach Ormond Beach. John D. Rockefeller's retirement home...called "The Casements" after its' many casement windows. Rockefeller lived here until he died at the age of 97. The other...much less famous...is an old 2-story building jutting out into the Halifax River. A group of residents wanted a yacht club, cut a deal w/the city and the building never appeared on the tax rolls. This clandestine club, still w/its old time members, still "doesn't exist!!"
On to Daytona. This area of Florida is called the Halifax Area because the ICW in this section is known as the Halifax River. It was named in the 1760s for Lord Halifax of England by a British surveyor. Rather than anchor, we decided to try our luck w/the Halifax River Yacht Club. They recognized our reciprocity w/the EGYC, and we laid up on a t-dock for 2 nights at $.75/ft!!!!. The club is beautiful and VERY accommodating! Spotless showers and laundry facilities, a heated pool and 2-wonderful restaurants!! It is in the heart of "Beach Street..."
We spent our 1st day touring on foot...the little shops and museum on Beach Street, had a lovely dinner...then to bed. We arose early on Thursday, got on our bikes, over the bridges and on to the barrier island known as the infamous Daytona beach. For many years, Daytona Beach has been synonymous w/speed and racing. From 1903 to 1936 all land and speed records were set on this beach, giving it the designation of the World's Most Famous beach. In addition to speed trials, various types of competitive races were run on the beach, but the most famous of all, the Beach Road Course was created in 1936 for automobile stock car and motorcycle races. They continued to be held on this course until the Daytona Internat'l Speedway was opened in 1959.
We enjoyed our biking on the beach...as well as watching cars on designated areas. The beach was crowded by 11am...temp 85...and off we went for ice cream after a swim!!
Jim spent a good portion of the afternoon exploring all the motorcycle shops...I hope this is not going to be his next adventure!! Yikes!!
Dropped lines from the dock, and left early Friday am...on a rising tide...to head south.
Jims take on things:
Funny tides here on the AICW on the outside of Daytona Beach and at the Ponce De Leone Inlet the tide is high is high, here at the dock on the inside the tide was high at 4 am and still dropping! They seem to be several our out of sync. However that works quite well for us. I like the water to get out of the narrow cut into the Yacht Club and the high water at Ponce Inlet Cut will give us an extra 2' ft in the shoals around the channel.
Now a couple of hours later we have made it down to Ponce Deleon Inlet and into New Smyrna beach. We managed it with only a slight bit of confusion with AICW and the main inlet boys. Got to remember the little AICW Triangles and Squares on the IOCW marks! Anchored in front of the New Smyrna Yacht club-they have no room for us!. That's of the anchor is free and hopefully it will hold in the 5kn current and 15kt wind. Temp is 85 degrees at noon--I'm going for a Mexican type siesta! We'll dingy into club and do our visiting later in afternoon.
04/24/2012, Marineland marina
We got underway, after the weather front blew thru, on Monday morning Ap 23rd. The sun was shining but the winds were blowing about 30kts...fortunately, for us, on our stern! Those cruisers heading past us, going north, were bundled up like we do when going skiing!! Our plan was to stop for the afternoon at Fort Matanzas, and then spend the night at Marineland Marina. We, however, did not find the staff at Fort Matanzas inviting. We were told we had to anchor in the river...the docks were only for their boat...and the holding ground was good except in windy weather (I consider 30knts windy!!). We were also told IF we did anchor, to not anchor near the crossing of their boat...and we could not bring our dinghy to their dock...we had to bring it up on the beach and tie it to a tree!! Well, guess what...we turned back into the ICW and came into "Marineland Marina." What a beautiful stop!! It is new; therefore, not listed in the Cruisers Guides; however, Active Captain (on the net) had it listed! The Marina is small but the people who run it are very accommodating. It is $1/ft (unheard of); has spotless bathrooms and showers; and, FREE laundry facilities. It is part of an "Eco-sensitive" Florida Nature Preserve w/...walking/hiking trails, ponds w/alligators and turtles living harmoniously; and, they offer kayaking tours to areas unable to get to w/boats...to discuss the marine-life, birds, etc, etc. Acres and acres are being developed into and protected as a Nature Preserve. There is some history...don't have the whole story... that the Dali Lama had something to do w/the acquisition of this land for same...his nephew was killed nearby by a motorist talking on their cell phone... Across the street is "Marineland Dolphin Adventure," an affiliate of Georgia Aquarium. It is an interactive education program, and for a fee (hefty!), children/adults get in the pool and learn how to feed, train, etc, the dolphins. After our nature walk, we did go to Marineland, where we were spectators only!! Had an early to bed, and awoke to temperatures of 41 degrees!!!! Thank goodness Jim installed the 2-reverse cycle ac's...a MUST for anyone considering cruising!! I awoke to the heat on and hot coffee brewing!! Thank you Jim!!.
We decided to stay another day (what a surprise!) and do more exploring by bikes/hikes!! We biked (against 20kts of wind!) North to the Matanzas Inlet. Had lunch at a great little local restaurant on the water...Matanzas Innlet (yes, w/2 n's) Restaurant. The same family has owned it for 19-yrs... it used to be a tackle shop under the Claude Varn Bridge! After filling up on a great lunch, we continued over the Matanzas Inlet. This Inlet was the scene of crucial events in Spanish colonial history. The massacre of French soldiers here in 1565 was Spain's opening move in establishing a colony in Florida. In May, 1565, 600 French soldiers were attempting attacks on Spanish treasure fleets. Philip II, a devout Catholic, ordered the massacre of the French Huguenots...Protestants...on this site...hence the name "Matanzas" (means massacred or slaughter in Spanish).
Jim swallowed his pride, and decided to bike further...to visit Fort Matanzas. We were brought across the river in a boat via the rangers. The Fort...50ft on each side w/a 30-foot tower...was built of coquina, a local shellstone. The Fort could cover the inlet w/5 guns. Besides warning St. Augustine of enemy vessels and driving them off if necessary, the Fort served as a rest stop, coast guard station, and a place where vessels heading for St. Augustine could get advice on navigating the river.
After we left the Fort, we went across the street to the most beautiful beaches I have seen!! White sand and blue water for as far as the eye could see. (When visiting these beaches, it seems impossible that RI could call itself the "Ocean State"....). The natural habitat is protected, and we saw a Gopher Tortoise digging a hole to get out of the heat. Apparently, their "tunnel" is shared by many other wild-life...up to 362 different species of animals also use their tunnel...what I don't know is if they are there all together ...LOL.
Back to boat...after a flat tire on the bike...and all secured to leave tomorrow am for Daytona. Stay tuned...
04/23/2012, Marineland FL
Just a quick update--we have done it again. If it is possible for two humans to affect the weather we have achieved nirvana! The weather man just reported that today's temperature will set new state records! Oh that's LOW temperature not hot!! Of course it beats the snow storm we here that is happening in New England!! Check it out on the weather channel!
04/22/2012, St Augustine Harbor
Jims comments -
Great town more varied restaurants than one can imaging. Real food and all the junk food as well. I have eaten my way through St Augustine.o0
The mooring field is delightful as compared to anchoring. The wind and the currents opposing or flowing together make for an interesting orientation. Sometimes wind blowing 20 knots on the stern!! With boat pointing into current and any other combination you can think of.. if we were anchored I am sure we would have fouled the anchor and dragged it a few times. I sleep much better on their new moorings.. Temperature so far has been bearable with the wind to help keep it cool when its sunny and 85 degrees.
04/22/2012, mooring 28 harbor
Night #7 in St. Augustine, and we plan to get underway-south-tomorrow am. Experienced torrential rain w/thunder and lightning yesterday, last night and again this morning...but as I blog tonight, the sun is shining - getting ready to set - and the church bells from Trinity Episcopal Church are being heard from the shore. What a way to end our 1-week in charming St. Augustine!!
Those of you who follow my blog have become pretty familiar w/my love of the history of the churches we visit - and the city of St. Augustine has not disappointed me! The Mission Nombre de Dios was the 1st permanent Christian settlement in the United States. Father Mendoza Grajales, a Spanish Diocesan Priest, offered here the 1st parish Mass in this land. This marked the beginning of missionary work in the 16th century by Spanish diocesan priests, Jesuits and Franciscans along the Atlantic coast from present day Miami to the Chesapeake Bay and westward to Pensacola. This is the site where western culture and Christianity faith took root in our country. The "great cross" (208 ft.) was erected 150 yrs ago to mark the original landing spot.
Not to be surprised, Henry Flagler was involved in the development of many of the churches in St. Augustine. He wanted the land upon which the Methodists had a small wooden church. Because they were unwilling to sell, he offered them another piece of land upon which HE would finance the building of a new Methodist Church...now called the Grace Methodist Church. The original land, which he acquired in the exchange, became the land upon which the Ponce de Leon Hotel...and later the Flagler College...now reside!
The Baptists, not wanting to be over-powered, asked Mr. Flagler to finance a new church for them. Mr. Flagler, not really being in the church-building business-agreed to donate $10,000 if they raised the 1st $10,000...with one very important stipulation. The new church could have a bell tower, but never have a bell...to this day, the Ancient City Baptist Church has never put a bell in their bell tower.
Mr. Flagler, being the son of a Presbyterian minister, wanted to build a Presbyterian church to the glory of God as a memorial to his daughter, Jennie, who passed away as a result of childbirth in 1889. The pews are made from imported mahogany, and hand carved. There are 12 bronze double-cross chandeliers, originally gas. The dome rises over 100 feet and encompasses several religious symbols. There are 92 stained glass windows, which contain the Apostle's Creed. The baptismal font is intricately carved from a solid piece of marble. Of particular interest is an exceptional lovely pipe organ...depending upon whose version you believe, it consists of anywhere from 465 to 5000 pipes!! No matter...it is still spectacular! The reason there is no bell in the Baptist church is Flagler did not want it to interfere w/the music from the pipe organ! Next to the entrance door is the tomb area in which Flagler's 1st wife, daughter, her baby and Flagler himself are entombed. There is an empty tomb...supposedly for his 3rd wife (his wife upon his death) but her family had her body buried in their hometown. The story goes...his 3rd wife died 6-months after he died...supposedly from poison but history reports that she imported her make-up (during those days in was important to have "pasty looking skin") from Europe, and some of the creams contained arsenic!! That story came directly to me from a tour guide-believe it or not as Ripley says!!
We spent this morning at a lovely, moving service at Trinity Episcopal Church, established in 1821. There are 28 stained glass memorial windows in the church. There is one Louis Tiffany window in the chapel. Above the altar are 3-stained glass windows in which Christ is Blessing the Children.
As I close my blog tonight and listen to the chimes from Trinity Episcopal Church, I look forward to dropping the mooring tomorrow morning and heading south for more adventures...and feeling very blessed that Jim and I have our health to do our cruising and our families who understand our being away. To be continued...

In 1969, Tom Seaver beat Philadelphia, 5-1, to become the first Met to win 20 games.
Who remembers the day he was traded to Cincinnati and what your first thoughts were?
In 1969, Tom Seaver beat Philadelphia, 5-1, to become the first Met to win 20 games.
Who remembers the day he was traded to Cincinnati and what your first thoughts were?
I remember the back page of the NY Daily News ran a picture of Seaver in the Met dugout sitting by himself with his head in his hands. It was a very sad day in Met history. Then I remember reading the names of the players they received in return…Steve Hendersen, Pat Zachary, Doug Flynn, Dan Norman…and saying to myself (I was only 11)"what, we couldn't get Joe Morgan or George Foster?"
I was 13. I kinda was expecting it. I remember getting more upset when Seaver pitched his last game in Houston and Stearns hugging him after the last out cause he knew that Seaver was going to be traded. I called sportsphone the night of the deadline and still couldn't believe it. I still can't.
I remember hearing rumors about Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and my head was filled with visions of Dan Driessen and John Candelaria in blue and orange.
I didn't begrudge the Mets the opportunity to rebuild an aging team—I just think they picked the wrong players from the Reds system. They would have done better had they aimed for guys like Ray Knight and Bruce Berenyi, rather than Doug Flynn and Dan Norman.
They figured it out a year later when they dealt Koosman to the Twins for a class A pitcher who ended up making more appearances than anyone in MLB history.
JESSIE OROSCO!!!! I'm still waiting for his glove to come down after the last out of the '86 WS!
Don't hold your breath. It's in orbit around the planet.
It was a train wreck in slow motion. It was almost prevented from happening by Linda DeRoulet but then Dick Young had to write a column on how Nancy Seaver was jealous over the money Nolan and Ruth Ryan were making. Since Dick Young's son-in-law worked in the Mets front office, Seaver figured it was a plant by M Donald Grant.
Several years later Ed Kranepool said the front office had turned down a trade for Don Sutton and minor leaguer Pedro Guerrero because Guerrero had just broken his ankle.
At a time when there was no 24 hours news TV stations, the trade even made the evening news of Cronkite on CBS, Chancellor on NBC and the 4 heads on ABC. Really big achievement in those days.
I was 8 years old, and I remember crying while I read the Daily News….. My Dad promised to bring to Tom's 1st game back at Shea, which I remember, was the one time I rooted for the Mets at Shea!!! Dick Young may you rot in hell!!!!!!!
I remember it very well. I was 11…He was my 'idol'I cried and wouldn't acknowledge the trade.
In fact when Tom pitched against the Mets I rooted for him.
Billy: If I were an 8-year-old kid rooting for the Mets back then, I would have cried, too.-JD
When that happened there was a hush in the school yard. i was 13 as well :-(
say it aint so is all we could say..
M Donald Grant had to have been one of the stupidest people ever to run a sports franchise. Right up there with Donald Sterling of the Clippers and Wicked Stepmother Teresa Earnhardt.
I think Steve Phillips got the grand prize. he ruined us for how long?
What, exactly, did Steve Phillips ruin?
Steve Phillips was part of a reign of bad GM's we had that was only broken when we got lucky/smart and got Omar who by the way we turned down several years ago.
Poor Steve Phillips, the only GM to lead the Mets to back to back Playoff appearances and a World Series appearance in the last 20 years.(Until Omar let's hope and pray) He gets too much grief for A-Rod and Mo Vaughn even though we all know it was the Wilpons who wouldnt splurge for A-Rod and the Vaughn deal did nothing to hold anyone back. Letting Hampton go turned into David Wright and Olerud wasn't going to resign anyway. And I defy anyone here to tell me that they weren't in favor of the Alomar trade when it happened. All in all I think SP takes way too much grief from Met fans. Not me, I appreciate what he did. I do not like him on ESPN though. ;-)
Phillips actually did a pretty amazing job, in that he inherited a team featuring the likes of Steve Bieser, Barry Manuel and Toby Borland, and turned them into a World Series contender within three years—and then left the organization, particularly the minor leagues, in better shape than when he found it.
He brought in elite performers like Piazza, Leiter and Hampton—without surrendering much of any value in the process. His critics like to point to the Alomar/Vaughn debacle, but, as noted above, Alomar's decline was a complete fluke, and Vaughn, because of the insurability of his contract, actually saved the organization money.
And what his detractors always gloss over is how Phillips left things better than he found them. Even though the team was spirraling down in the early 2000s, Phillips was growing a farm that included Reyes, Wright, Heilman, Kazmir, Milledge, Bannister, Huber—prospects a lot more promising than the Butch Huskey, Jason Hardtke group he inherited.
Was he the greatest GM in history? No. But he's not nearly as bad as his reputation. He had an edict to produce a winner—and did so.
IMO, Phillips was average at best. Basically I think he underperformed as a GM and made too many bad decisions. He had pretty big budgets to work with so he should have made it to the World Series at least once. So I'm not going to praise him too much for 2000.
And I can only give him a tiny bit of credit for Wright since he was ready to trade him to Toronto for Jose Cruz Jr. It's Ricciardi who we should all thank for Wright as he turned down that trade. And don't forget Phillips also offered Jose Reyes to Cleveland for Alomar but they turned down Jose. Again thanks to Shapiro. One of the worst decisions Phillips made was to change the medical staff and that ended up resulting in a few bad cases where injuries were not diagnosed or treated properly (Grant Roberts, Jose Ryes, Mike DeJean). It was Omar who went back to the doctor they have now.
I don't think the A-Rod decision was wrong at all and I don't blame the Wilpons for not wanting to spend that crazy money. They made the right choice. The only criticism I have of that is Phillips could have been a little more tactful when he spoke to the press about why they weren't going after him. Did he really have to say "24 + 1" even if it was probably true?
JK: One thing you might be forgetting about Jose Cruz, Jr. was that at the time he was one of theee top prospects in all of baseball. He just didn't pan out.
And you see Benny, we can even agree on some things! :-)
How could Cruz have been one of the top 3 prospects in all of baseball when he was in his 6th season with Toronto putting up a mediocre year (OPS+ of 99)?
Phillips had pretty bad judgment when it came to outfielders. Payton was his favorite.
JK: I may have gotten my facts wrong, believe me I can even be wrong once in awhile..:-), but what year was SP allegedly going to make that trade? I know in 2001 , Cruz started to make good on his promise. Anyway, the trade didn't happen. All in all though, IMO, it is hard to argue with the results. I give alot of credit as well to Bobby V who certainly shouldn't go unmentioned.
Another example of Phillips' blind spot when it comes to outfielders—he traded Jason Bay to San Diego for a pitcher he let walk at the end of that year. This is the same year he was trying to trade Wright to Toronto for Cruz Jr.!
Well in all fairness, Montreal traded him and so did San Diego.
steve, here's the story:
I think one thing that GMs need to pay more attention to is makeup and intangibles. They were saying Wright's makeup was off the charts when he was a minor leaguer. I think that's what Bannister has going for him. He doesn't have spectacular stuff, but he has a great mental approach to pitching. These things are often hard to discern but from what I read both these players rated highly in these areas early on in their minor league careers.
Bay was not as developed when Omar traded him, and I can't blame him for his Montreal moves because that club had no resources and was on the verge of being disbanded. And San Diego did get back Giles for the package with Bay so it was a fair trade. But Phillips was a different story. He got back zilch.
You guys have some memory.
All I know is starting from trading away Mookie to make way for steroids user Nails who was then traded away leaving us with no CF until we got Carlos our management has made one blunder after another.
This in a market and a team that has never been stingy with $$.
I still think Phillips was bad. Not as bad as the guy after him, but 2000 was a fluke. I was happy we went to the dance, but I do not believe we deserved to be there. Just like St Louie did not deserve to be there last year.
And I think we could have gotten Olerud to stay if we wanted to. Yes it was reported he wanted to go home, but if you want a guy you show the love. I think we underbid Seattle of all people and had been searching for a 1B until we got Carlos ( the other one ) last year.
Re the Wright/Cruz rumors, I don't know how much stock to put into these things—it's one of those woulda, coulda, shoulda scenarios that are fun to talk about, but probably not worth all that much thereafter. I mean, supposedly, the owners had to instruct Phillips to go get Piazza in '98: Do we grade Phillips on his actual performance in obtaining Piazza or do we discount him, based on this rumor?
I'll say this about Jose Cruz in 2002: He was coming off a 30/30 season and might have provided a nice lift for a team running Timo Perez out there on a daily basis. Cruz was 28, and the Mets had been in first place for 37 days earlier in the season—it doesn't seem all that far-fetched that you'd deal an A-level prospect for a guy months removed from a 30/30 season.
Re Jason Bay: I don't buy the Expos-being-disbanded theory. They traded Bay for Lew F'ing Collier. How did that transaction help the Expos stay afloat?
I think Bay fits in alongside Isringhausen as a fluke, rather than an error in judgment. And I don't agree that the Giles trade somehow validates Bay's worth: Certainly, if they had projected Bay to be what he is now, there's little reason to deal him, along with Oliver Perez, for a declining 32-yr-old outfielder.
What young players did Phillips deal that were eventually missed? Dotel? Burnett? I think he mostly dealt away the likes of Jesus Sanchez and Ed Yarnall and Geoff Goetz.
Benny i used to live next store to you in Fat City when you played in the Pelican Team in New Orleans you took me to some games in the dome Like to hear from you been a long time
Benny: Personally I do downgrade a GM when I read stories like this. In case you dodn't know, sometimes Phillips goes around taking credit for Wright and Reyes. Sure they were obtained when he was the GM. But he tried to trade both. So it's not as if Phillips has shown great intuition and instincts for being a GM. And I think this is what distinguishes a good GM from a poor or average one.
I'm assuming that the trade talks for Cruz occurred around July 15-30th, 2002. On 7/15 of that year the Mets were 11-1/2 games out of first, and on 7/30 they were 13-1/2 games out of first. While not insurmountable, that's a pretty huge hill to climb. Leave it up to Phillips to try to trade Wright and to actually trade Bay when the Mets had little chance to make the postseason. And then to not retain Reed after the 2002 season was folly.
About Bay: IIRC, the Montreal Expos were one of two teams targeted for contraction when Omar took them over. With a future so uncertain, I can't blame any GM of the Expos at that time for concentrating only on the present. Collier had major league experience at least, and the highest level Bay had played at the time was high A where he hit .195 the year before. Omar needed players for the major league level. Hence the Bay-Collier trade. So while Bay was a mistake, I can understand why Omar might have done it. I think you also have to give Omar a little bit of slack there because he was a rookie GM at the time.
By the time Phillips traded Bay later that year, he had put up very solid numbers in high A and AA ball. To trade him for a pitcher you're not even going to keep after the year and with the team 13-1/2 games out of 1st place at the time was stupid. What was the point?
At AAA in the Padres' system in 2003, Bay continued to put up terrific numbers and I think his status as a very good prospect was cemented by that time. So while his value was probably a little higher than when Phillips traded him, I disagree with you that SD did not get great value for him in return. Giles at the time was coming off an OPS+ season of 173, his career best and pretty phenomenal, and was in the midst of an OPS+ season of 148. He was still considered a premier player and a lot of teams were after him at the time. There were no significant signs of a player in decline.
Steve Phillips failure was in signing players who weren't right for the team or too old, failing to develop a strong minor league system, and when he did have great prospects, either trading them for nothing or trying to trade them. Yes, I know you don't buy into the idea that he should be downgraded for things he ended up not doing, but it just taints his whole tenure IMO. It exposes his lack of good instincts and judgment.

Woman mistakes parrot's call for child in distress
Fairfield, CT (WFSB) -- A woman thought someone was in danger, but when she went to explore the situation, it turned out that the person in distress was an escaped bird in a tree.
An unidentified woman was on the top of the hill near the Holland Hill School, which is located at 105 Meadowcroft Rd., around 5 p.m. when she told police that she heard someone screaming "daddy," "daddy."
The woman began searching for the person, who she believed was a child in distress. After a brief search, the woman told police that she spotted a large green parrot in a nearby tree.
After calling animal control, the officer was unable to remove the parrot because it was 25 feet up the tree. The animal control officer was forced to call the fire department.
When firefighters arrived, they used a ling pole to get the bird out of the tree, which flew to a nearby bamboo tree area, police said. Firefighters were able to chase the parrot out of the area, net the animal and bring it to a local shelter.
During the whole process, authorities said the parrot said several words including "hello," "daddy" and "what."
The parrot had been reported missing by its owner, Christopher Gerbasi, of Fairfield. The woman located the bird about a mile from his home.

Emerging like a sweetly scented addition to primetime's musty flower bed, "Pushing Daisies" opens its second season in full creative bloom.
Emerging like a sweetly scented addition to primetime's musty flower bed, "Pushing Daisies" opens its second season in full creative bloom. Producer Bryan Fuller's Emmy-nominated dramedy is one of the few programs that dares to deal in whimsy, which is perhaps why audiences drifted away before the writers strike truncated its initial run. Managing expectations is paramount to the show's longevity — such an offbeat concept is unlikely to break out in a major way — but let's hope ABC's patience is rewarded with this gentle if somewhat delicate flower.The first episode reintroduces the niftily intricate, unabashedly romantic premise: Ned (Lee Pace) found out as a lad that his touch can bring people back to life, the tradeoff being that if he touches them again, they die forever. Should he fail to touch them within a minute, somebody else must die to restore cosmic balance. So when the girl he has loved since childhood was murdered, Ned couldn't help but revive her. Yet now that Chuck (Anna Friel) is back in his life, they can never touch — an impediment to intimacy that has inspired all sorts of clever tricks, including beekeeper suits and gloves. Ned, meanwhile, continues to use his gift to solve murders, working with private investigator Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) to interrogate the dead regarding what happened. The cases are almost wholly disposable, but they convey the eccentric tone, focusing on honey marketers (and killer bees!) in the premiere, the circus (including a perhaps first-ever homicide attempt by human cannonball) in the second hour, and a convent (where Ned and Emerson play fathers Mulcahy and Dowling) in the third. Beyond its fairy-tale explosion of color and production design, "Daisies" indulges in moments of almost surreal imagination, like having Kristin Chenoweth — as Ned's lovelorn assistant Olive — put her Broadway chops to use reenacting a memorable scene out of "The Sound of Music." The cast, meanwhile, is uniformly terrific — down to the 150-some-odd-year-old Golden Retriever (in dog years) that Ned can only scratch with a stick. Few current series more clearly reflect filmmakers' signature touches — from the look director Barry Sonnenfeld brought to the pilot to the beautiful, poetic prose Fuller provides via Jim Dale's narration, which describes the Ned-Chuck no-contact dilemma as "a delicate dance — a ballet of avoidance." And that it is. The facts, then, are these: "Pushing Daisies" isn't perfect, but there's no other dance on TV remotely like it. And to echo last season's review, that alone is reason to hope it finds a way to avoid death's touch.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
There is a statute of limitations to charge a DUI, but once the alleged offense has been charged then it tolls the statute of limitations from applying. Since you were given a court summons to sign and were obviously arrested since you spent time in jail then you have already been charged with the offense and the statute of limitations no longer applies. If you had not been arrested and charged then there would be a set time limit, in which you could be charged but that time limit does not apply to when your case must be disposed of.
Please click Accept below for my answer. Thank you.
According to the Ohio Code ORC Ann. 2901.13 (2007), § 2901.13. Limitation of criminal prosecutions... a prosecution shall be barred unless it is commenced within the following periods after an offense is committed: For a misdemeanor other than a minor misdemeanor, two years. Since a DUI is a first degree misdemeanor it would fall under the category of a 2 year statute of limitations.
A prosecution is commenced on the date an indictment is returned or an information filed, or on the date a lawful arrest without a warrant is made, or on the date a warrant, summons, citation, or other process is issued, whichever occurs first. A prosecution is not commenced by the return of an indictment or the filing of an information unless reasonable diligence is exercised to issue and execute process on the same. A prosecution is not commenced upon issuance of a warrant, summons, citation, or other process, unless reasonable diligence is exercised to execute the same.
So in your situation the statute of limitations would have tolled when you were arrested if it was a legal arrest.
I hope this additional information clears up any questions from my first answer. Please click Accept below so that I may receive credit for my answer. Thank you.
I apologize if I was not clear before. You asked me what the statute of limitations for a DUI is and my response was two years from the date of offense. However the statute stops running, or tolls, when a legal arrest has been made. Since you were arrested for this offense the statute of limitations no longer applies. If you did not receive a court date then this may have been a clerical error with the clerk's office but is not related to the statute of limitations. You can tell the DA's office that you never received your court date and they can look in the system and see if it was ever sent out to you. They may be willing to help you since you did not miss a court date through any fault of your own. The state may be unable to prosecute your case at this time or chose not to but legally they can still since you had been arrested.
I hope this has cleared up my last answer. Please click Accept below for my answer. Thank you.
I will accept on 01-02-08 after I return from court......and I will accept, but I not sure if I understood your answer because I was never charged so I think the the statue of limitation would be in my favor. You may or may not be interested in the outcome but I will let you know the outcome and accept your answer then.
Thank You
