Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
I'm sorry for all the trouble you've been through
Before I answer, what does "PR" refer to? We all use different ways of saying things so I just don't know this one. But let me see if I understand. Your ex-abusive-husband stole checks in your name and now they have the potential to pop up all over the country, theorhetically, but you have no way of knowing where or how many, right?
As far as the future goes....I'm afraid there's nothing you can do now, until you know you are on a docket and are going to be charged. You get a lawyer and these facts are made clear and simple to the judge. Let's say he's using your name every day this way-the only thing I can see you can do is to get a court to order him to stop using your name. You would be suing for an injunction (a motion to stop). YOu will have to prove he is the one doing this in order to get it but if you do get it, and he uses your name again you will have grounds for another lawsuit on top of being able to show the local judge that you have this injunction against him and he does this regularly and it won't just be your word against his It will be another court agreeing with you to give you some credence.
I believe that PR means released on personal released personal reconnaissance. Ex-boyfriend not husband. I do not know if these are from 7-8 years ago or ongoing. During arrest I was given no paperwork. The only thing I have is a number on the report the investigator started. The counties that put out the warrants will give me no information. They won't tell me how to know if I'm "on the docket" and even if I can clear those two I have no way of knowing if others will pop up. How can I prove he is the one doing it, especially if he passed these checks 7+years ago when I don't even know where they were written. The odds of the people who took the checks - from a man when they had only a woman's name on them - that long ago still working there or remembering are next to zero.
It seems obvious that the legal system will not assist me. They won't even give me the most basic information to try to prove he did it. They won't tell when I have to appear. I can't work because my reputation is ruined. I can't sleep because of nightmares that he is coming to kill me or they police will drag me off to jail again. I can't go through that again and I can barely eat. What am I legally obligated to do now that my life is ruined? I have to move before he comes after me again; this address is now a matter of public record. Any address that is a matter of public record places my life at risk. If I leave the state for my own safety will I be committing some crime? Will other states arrest me? I believe the charge is theft by check over some amount they didn't give me and under some other amount they didn't give me. I haven't driven in years. I no longer have a way to make a living. There is no public transportation here - not even a single taxi. There is no way I can hire an attorney and no way for me to get to hearings. I have limited time before I am homeless and without a phone so there will be no way for me to call these counties every week and see if I'm "on the docket" as the county that arrested me suggested I do after I called them repeatedly trying to get more information and find out what I'm supposed to do now. I have no one who can help me at all.
I need to know what happens if I leave the state for my own protection.
Am I considered a fugitive? Am I breaking some other law? If the warrants are not active at the time I leave am I committing a crime by leaving?
The judge just said they would release me "pr". He told me he could not tell me what checks in what amounts written where or on what bank. The investigator asked me to get all my bank account numbers for closed accounts and give them to him for his report. I have called and called and he has not returned my calls. The last time I tried his voicemail was full. I just tried again and they tell me he will not be back until Tuesday morning. The judge did not tell me not to leave. All he told me was he would release me "pr". I do not understand how people involved in the law think the way they do. If your choice is A) Sit around waiting for a dangerous person to kill you because you are implicating him in a crime he committed. or B) A warrant may be issued for your arrest, but you will at that point still be alive. Personally I choose B, but those who believe in the system think I should choose A. That is insane.
I don't have court dates now. The warrants are apparently gone now, but when there are court dates I assume they would be reissued if I don't appear, and to save my life there is no way for me to know I am supposed to appear.
If I could find a pro bono attorney to work on these issues could that attorney appear in my place and keep me from being required to appear.
I am asking is there some way to fulfil that obligation, but not end up dead.
I will if you can answer my questions.
Is there a way I can fulfill the obligation to appear without having to physical be there?
physically....sorry....I have gotten very few hours of sleep since this happened. I don't usually make mistakes typing.
Could an attorney appear on my behalf instead of me physically being there?
I can't find out when there will be a court date.
The phone will be shut off and I will be homeless. I won't be able to find out.
I don't know how all this stuff works. I have never committed a crime in my life. That is why I'm asking you. I have told you everything they will tell me. I asked the judge for information. He said he had none to give me. I asked the counties that issued the warrants for information. They refuse to give me any. I was given no paperwork. I have an investigator, but can't reach him. After calling so many times the person who answers the phone told me the warrants were taken care of and that I should phone the counties every week to find out if I'm on the docket. Even if I can do that, I can't arrange a way to get to another county on no notice.
I don't know if there were ever any court dates.
All I have is logical conjectures. That if some day I would be on a docket and I don't appear that there will be new warrants issued unless I find a pro bono attorney willing to try to get something done. If that happens, will other states arrest me?
Perhaps you haven't been to Texas. The Assistant D.A. was gunned down on the courthouse steps in this county. The DA and his wife were murdered in their beds. You can find that information in the major media online. I don't have any docket numbers. I don't have any warrant numbers. I asked for anything they would give me. I walked away with only a handwritten case# XXXXX by an investigator.
I know this is hard for you to understand, but Texas is a big place. These counties are too far away to walk to and I now have no resources to pay anyone to take me.
I have never seen anyone hitch-hiking in Texas, so that may also be illegal.
I found this for another county >> http://www.jp.hctx.net/checks/info.htm
This person wrote checks for cash and signed my name. The checks only have a woman's name on them. Doesn't the merchant have an obligation to not take checks that it should have been obvious were forged?
I never wrote a check outside the counties I lived and worked in. Even then I presented two forms of I.D. - so how did he write checks on my account?
It is my understanding that other states WILL arrest you, and can hold you up to 90 days waiting for the state that issued the warrant to decide whether to come get you. THAT is arrested.
What will they do if they put you in jail and you don't eat the food? Can they forcibly feed you?
Can they inject you with vaccinations?
I can minimize the odds of ever being asked for ID somewhere, but I can not absolutely ensure that no one will ever come on a place where I find manual labor. If I am asked for ID and try to escape arrest will they shoot me?
A homeless person with no car, no phone and no address has no way to receive replies.
How I made my living was based on my reputation. No reputation = no income. I can hopefully find manual labor somewhere, but farm work does not pay enough to hire attorneys. Often you only get room and board.
And if they ask if I've been arrested I probably can't even get manual labor. I detest liars and I am no good at lying.
I am obviously not being clear. I will not allow them to take me alive. I will not sit here like a sitting duck waiting for either them to drag me out of bed in the middle of the night or him to come murder me. I'll have to take my chances as a fugitive if there is nothing a pro bono attorney can do for me.
I fail to comprehend how that can be of benefit to a corpse or someone locked in a cage.
I feel like Bonnie Parker - and I didn't even rob the bank. Is there nothing that can be done?
I have no financial means to keep a roof over my head here. I can not risk being arrested by appearing in court. That ends badly for a huge percentage of people. The jailers think everyone is guilty. They couldn't understand that I had never been arrested for anything because I have never done anything illegal. Our jails and prisons are full of innocent people being used in medical experiments. Even when it is obvious they are innocent, we still execute some of them - and honestly I'd rather they shoot me than get arrested. Maybe the people who tried to keep TXXXXX XXXXX alive can help me. http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/22/world/davis-world-reaction http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/sep/21/troy-davis-10-reasons http://abcnews.go.com/US/troy-davis-executed-stay-denied-supreme-court/story?id=14571862 But they couldn't help him - and he was clearly innocent, too.
I need to know if I ever do get found whether another state will arrest me. Are these types of warrants in the NCIC database or only the TCIC database? If I get arrested can I be forcibly fed or immunized?
I need these details to be able to know what to do.
I will wait for further answers. Thank you.
Yes I'm still here.
you there?
I can't see our previous dialogue, unfortunately
but I'm live here at your service
Please tell me how I can further assist you
If you are found in another state and there is an open warrant for you this is what will happen. THe state you are in will hold you pending the warrant state's decision whether or not they want to come and get you (extradite) you. There are no guarantees in the law, unfortunately, and this is an example of that. The TCIC database "provides immediate access, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to law enforcement agencies throughout the state, to data regarding the stolen status of property and the wanted, missing, sex offender, or protective order status of persons. TCIC also provides a direct link to the NCIC so that law enforcement officers throughout Texas know instantly whether a vehicle, a boat, or other property under investigation is stolen, or a person in question is wanted anywhere in the country."
The question is are TCIC data available to other states or only NCIC?
Apparently not all types of warrants are entered in the NCIC. ALL warrants are visible within Texas; however, lesser warrants might not be in NCIC and might only be accessible to Texas law enforcement and not other states.
It's unlikely, however, if your warrant appears in the TCIC and that subsequently appears to NCIC then other agencies could see the warrant via the NCIC
The question is will failure to appear on this type of charge appear in NCIC?
For petty crimes, you're probably right, they may not be listed there.
The official statutory charge that you are facing under the penal law is which?
I know the vague charge but I want to know what statute you are being charged under to help me determine this.
BTW-I haven't ignored your hunger strike question or immunization-I'm researching it
DO you know the statute?
While I wait for that I can tell you that it appears prisoners have the right to refuse food.
Can you tell me about the charges? Check forging? I'm just going by what you have said. IF you are specific I can help more.
I have repeatedly asked for details - any kind of details. I asked the booking people. I asked the judge. I asked when they released me. I asked the investigator I filed a report with and I called the counties and asked them. They won't tell me anything at all. All I know is it is forged checks for some amount - I can't even find out how much or to whom they were written.
Shouldn't they have to tell me what they issued a warrant for?
I tried again calling the count that arrested and released me and one of the other counties that issued the warrant. Neither will tell me anything. Isn't there some way to find out if there is a live warrant? I can't sleep; I can't eat; I'm afraid to stay here.
I found a site the state of Texas put up that provides a toll free number to find out your status. Unfortunately for me, the counties involved do not participate in that program.
Do you think it would help for me to open another question and try to get someone in Texas who knows what the process is here? It is not healthy to live in a constant state of fight or flight. I can't go on with no sleep. I did finally manage to sleep an hour at a time by sleeping sitting up fully dressed, but every noise or dog barking anywhere jolts me awake. I must find out whether there are active warrants and how long it will be before the court dates are set or warrants reissued (if they aren't still active).
I asked specifically at both the arresting county and one of the counties that put out a warrant for the statute. The only thing they tell me is I have to come in person with ID to find out. I have no vehicle and no current ID. These counties are far away and there is no public transportation here so that is simply not possible - not that I would volunteer to be caged up again. Apparently they do not have to tell you what you are charged with, nor give you any details, nor any paperwork at all.
Hi Wendy,
I don't want to hurt the person who was helping me - he tried really hard to get answers to my questions. I didn't mean to make him opt out. Since I have a free trial period should I rate him so he gets whatever he deserves and then ask again? Would I have to pay again? Is there a way for him to get credit if someone else tries to answer?
My situation is very complicated and I have been totally unable to get any state agency to provide even the most basic information about the process. My thought was an attorney actually in Texas should know. I haven't slept more than a few troubled hours since this nightmare began. Now it is a 3 day weekend and no one answers. I can't eat; I can't sleep and I would leave here if there weren't animals that had to be cared for that compel me to stay.
Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX I rate the other attorney or not rate him until I am done. I am down to my last $2 and have lost the means to make money, so I don't have the luxury of just paying again. All I can think is to find a farm labor job and those sometimes only offer room and board. I may not have Internet access and the phone I have been using belongs to the animal rescue so I will leave it behind.
I received a return call from an attorney with Griffith & Associates from EllisCountyCriminalDefense.com who was able to answer my questions. I would like to share what I learned and save some other victim the days of agony and phone calls all over the state by sharing what I learned.
NOTE: This information is based on research I have done and IS NOT all from that attorney. You must contact the very best criminal attorney you can find to have any chance of not having your legal nightmares get even worse.
When the Judge said he would PR the warrants, the person involved is on bond (whether you have to pay anything or not). That DOES stop the existing warrants involved (although another could pop up at any time). You will probably have about 30 days where at least those warrants won't get you arrested to do whatever you decide to do.
The arresting county sends paperwork to the counties that put out the warrants. They will file it - often very quickly. That paperwork will eventually (in 30-120 days) put your case on the docket (whatever that is) which means you must show up in court. If you're lucky maybe you'll get notified, but you may not. The arresting county said you must call the other counties every week and ask if you're on that week's docket (but if they don't give you the right answer and you don't show you another warrant will be issued for your arrest).
Hiring the best attorney in the county can help you resolve the issues if you're wealthy, BUT the bad news is they can NOT appear in your place. You must appear at least once and risk being jailed even if you can afford the $5000 retainer and whatever the resulting additional charges would be.
Once you get the existing warrants taken care of and the cases resolved you can spend even more money and possibly have your record expunged. Unfortunately, your photo, name and location are already plastered all over the Internet so your reputation is ruined.
Once something goes online it can never be completely removed. There are archives of most sites. Be wary of companies that charge you to get your mugshots removed. I personally know of someone how keeps paying and as soon as one is removed another site puts it up and they have to pay again. I have not found any evidence that anyone has successfully removed at least all live photos, but that doesn't mean no one has.
If you are the totally innocent victim of identity theft and the amounts aren't too high, the warrants are misdemeanors. HOPEFULLY (at this time) they will appear in the TCIS system (available to all Texas based law enforcement), but they (at this time) will PROBABLY not appear in the Federal / National NCIS where any law enforcement in any state can find them. Again unfortunately, if you got fingerprinted you are probably entered into NCIS. The photo they took can also be used to identify you should you walk by any camera capable of facial recognition anywhere in the world. (Wear really big sunglasses.)
That you are innocent of any wrongdoing is of no concern to the legal system. You have now been arrested. For the rest of your life you must answer yes on any legal forms (applying for a job, or an occupational license, or to rent property, and probably to buy property) UNLESS you pay to have your record expunged. Then you MAY be able to legally answer no - but if they see your photo online you are not going to get the job/rental/property.
If you do not wish to risk being arrested by appearing in court, attorneys can not help you. You may be able to avoid arrest for misdemeanor identity theft / forged checks perpetrated against you by going to another state. Your best chance would be to live somewhere very remote doing whatever you can to keep a roof over your head and eat.
Do NOT have anything in your own name including utilities, bank accounts, credit cards. Do NOT have a vehicle in your own name.
Do NOT try to renew your driver's license as you can be arrested on the spot for any warrants. (Although misdemeanors are not typically uploaded to the NCIS database, SOME may be - and that could change.)
If you are ever asked for ID you may have major problems. You could try your birth certificate. (If you're female and haven't used your maiden name in decades maybe they won't connect that to the name you used to have a driver's license in.)
Remember always that you are a fugitive from justice. Do all you can to avoid being asked your name or for ID. You must be willing to forgo all the things many think are essential from medical care to banking to travel.
Any time you leave the remote property you find to live on you put your freedom in danger. There are cameras all over now and some have facial recognition. You can be stopped, asked for ID and searched for walking, or simply standing on your own property. Avoid all contact with law enforcement of all kinds and ideally with anyone else.
When you relocate DO NOT carry a cell phone, GPS, or use a computer that has a video camera on it. Get rid of them before you move. Never use a loyalty card or debit card. Learn to do informal barter for everything you need. Never contact anyone who knows you and especially do not contact any family or friends connected to you in your phone records or on social media.
If you want to buy anything, get an LLC in New Mexico where only the trustee's identity is required. If you want to protect any income from the LLC, use two - one for your income and one for holding property and spending money. Do not do anything to connect the two. For details on how to do all that, find J.J. Luna's books at Amazon.com.
Best to all the innocent victims of the system that makes us all guilty with no way to prove our innocence. If you hire the best attorneys to go to court to try to clear your name, I pray that you stay free. May God Bless.
A few more tips. Before you move, notify family and friends and tell them something or they may report you missing - and those go nationwide. Don't compound your issues by having yourself reported missing. What you should tell them I cannot suggest. If you are an honest person, it is the lying you will have to do for the rest of your life that will be the hardest part. Do not use your given name. Practice calling yourself something else. That can be really difficult. If you work online, create two pseudonyms in two different niches and start building your influence (so that if you get outed on one you can use the other) . If you write well, you can get work as a ghost writer whose name never appears on what they get paid to write. If you don't, you may be able to get work managing social media accounts - but remember you must never, ever post anything personal or refer to anything that will get your identity exposed. Best of luck.
One other thing. You can not ever confide your status to ANYONE because if they know they are guilty of "moral turpitude" if they assist you in any way. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_turpitude - I'm not sure what they are legally supposed to do, but do not let your problems become anyone else's legal problems.
Best of luck to anyone caught in circumstances not of their own making. Thank you, SmithEsq for all your assistance.

(Not long ago, A.V. Club editor Keith Phipps purchased a large box containing over 75 vintage science fiction, crime, and adventure paperbacks. He is reading all of them. This is book number 41.)
I'm not one of those people who goes around Wikipedia dropping "citation needed" warnings on every assertion without a footnote, but sometimes I sympathize. The entry for this week's book, Space Opera by Jack Vance, contains this note: "[Vance] has stated that the title was not his choice: he was commissioned to write a book with that title, and this was what he came up with." That seems unlikely to me. Space opera was a well-established, if often sniffed at, subgenre by 1965. The only reason to call a book Space Opera is to subvert expectations. So is Vance having us on with this assertion? Did he even make the assertion in the first place? Citation needed. And if we can't get the objective facts right, what hope is there of talking clearly about subjective stuff? I labor more in the subjective field far more often than in straight reporting, but you can't have one without the other. I've been listening to Richard And Linda Thompson's albums a lot lately. There's this notion passed down over the years that their final album together, Shoot Out The Lights, is somehow about the breakup of their marriage because its release and accompanying tour immediately preceded their split. Never mind that the writing and first attempt to record the album took place a couple of years before Richard embarked on the solo tour arranged by the woman who would become his second wife. The other story's better. Still, when you talk about art, facts only get you so far. Sure, those songs were written and first recorded before the break-up. Does that mean they can't be about the break-up in some larger sense. "Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need?," Thompson sings. Is the plea a coincidence, or a pebble dropped in a lake that years later fed into a mighty wave of heartbreak? It's hard to talk about art in exact terms, even when talking about fundamentals. A film can have sloppy edits, but what if we're talking about a Cassavetes film where the sloppy edits are key to the texture and frayed emotions? And today's mistake is tomorrow's aesthetic choice. Nobody let lens flares into their movies before the 1960s. By the next decade they were part of the language. By the end of the '70s you could see them on C.H.I.P.S.. In other words, the gestalt matters. I don't mean to get off topic. I'm circling back to this week's book, which is largely about the role of art and whether or not it makes sense out of the context that created it. The short, picaresque novel essentially concludes that, even though art may be literally universal, there are all kinds of cultural impediments that get in the way of a consensus notion of greatness. It's a book about space opera in the literal sense. Having sponsored an Earth performance by the Ninth Company Of Rlaru, Opera League Secretary-Treasurer Dame Isabel Grayce finds herself unexpectedly at the center of a controversy. Some doubt whether the Ninth Company and their pleasant music really come from another planet at all. They grant no interviews, after all. And, as music critic Bernard Bickel argues, the mere fact that they make music enjoyable to Earth ears makes them suspect. "Music," he argues, "is like a language; you cannot understand it unless you learn it, or more accurately, are born into it." That the Ninth Company, brought to Earth by a shifty space captain named Adolph Gondar, disappears shortly after the performance, only feeds into his suspicions. Determined to prove Bickel wrong, Dame Isabel recruits Gondar to lead an expedition to bring the best of Earth's opera tradition to the stars. (I cast Margaret Dumont as Isabel. Is there anyone else to play a wealthy, opera-loving dowager?) Also along for the ride: Isabel's nephew Roger Wool and a stowaway he just met and plans to marry, a mysterious "Welsh" woman named Madoc Roswyn who's actually [spoiler warning] a member of a civilization that landed on Earth centuries ago now looking for her home planet. Madoc's story never becomes more than a relatively minor sub-plot. My understanding is that Vance recycled the notion of an Earthbound-alien looking for a lost civilization in later novels. (This is the only Vance I've read but it left me impressed enough to add him to the list of writers to check out once I've exhausted the box.) The focus here is on the operas and their receptions as Isabel's Fitzcarraldo-esque quest to bring opera to places where most would feel opera has no business going hops from planet to planet. Their reception is mixed, to say the least. On one planet a handful of natives sit patiently then, thinking they've been watching a commercial demonstration, put in an order for an oboist. On another, where the outcasts live above ground and civilization spends most of their time underground, Isabel decides to swap some elements in Beethoven's Fidelio by moving the first act to a dungeon. It doesn't work. Elsewhere, their intentions get lost in translation. Playing before an audience expecting to be challenged to an ordeal in a friendly contest between civilizations, the opera company in turn finds itself subjected to razors and chunks of hot iron. The humans quickly fold, much to the disgust of their hosts. "We sat through three hours of your worst and never flinched!", one says before proclaiming their guests "weaklings." Isabel's greatest humiliation awaits her on Rlaru itself, however. Turns out the Ninth Company was for real, and really just a sampling of the trippy artistic experiences available on Rlaru, which Vance describes as a kind of cross between a laser show and an acid trip. The Rlaruans even understand Earth opera. They just don't like it that much, preferring instead the music of Isabel's spaceship's crewmen, who've formed The Tough Luck Jug Band and gotten really good at performing something called "You've Gotta See Mama Every Night." Rimshot. It's a long way to go for that punchline, but Vance makes getting there quite pleasant. This book reminded me of what I liked best about Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Vances uses humor as a tool for genuine speculation of the kind that science fiction does best. Is music, like math, a kind of universal language? Does Wagner make sense at the distance of some light years? You can start applying variations on those questions elswhere, too. Is the experience of listening to Shoot Out The Lights deepened by thinking about it in terms of the break-up of the Thompsons' marriage? Is Space Opera a cleverer book if Vance came up with the title himself or if it's one he was given? I can only come up with one, vague answer to all these questions: The thing itself is only part of the story. New! Want to read past Box Of Paperbacks Book Club entries?

Only three months into the academic year and headlines have been littered with announcements about HBCU leadership turnover. There have been a plethora of reasons, including university presidents being fired, being encouraged to leave their posts by their boards of trustees or opting for retirement. Gone are the days of decades of top-down leadership, now replaced by a need for charismatic personalities who are well-skilled at fundraising while navigating internal needs and external stakeholders, as well as politics and long-standing traditions.
Harvey shares his 36 years worth of knowledge with other presidents during the annual Executive Leadership Summit held each November at Hampton. Harvey said 15 of his former university officers are now university presidents.
"I've had a lot of people who helped me," Harvey said. "I try to share the lessons I've learned."
Exiting leaders
While some may have seen the handwriting on the wall, others stepped down under arduous circumstances or planned for their next career move since the start of the 2013-14 academic year. (Black Voice News)

WITH almost 4000 Syrian protesters dead in eight months of government attacks, the Arab League has issued a three-day ultimatum insisting that Syria halt the violence or face further economic consequences.
''We shall stop wasting time,'' the Qatari Foreign Minister, Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, said after the league's meeting.
But already there are questions about the effectiveness of another Arab League deadline, coming four days after it announced it was suspending Syria from the organisation over its failure to comply with another resolution calling for an end to the attacks on civilians.
Meanwhile, the rebel Free Syrian Army, created in July by defectors from the regular army, announced it had formed a temporary military council to oust President Bashar al-Assad's regime and protect civilians from ongoing army violence.
The council aims to ''bring down the current regime, protect Syrian civilians from its oppression, protect private and public property, and prevent chaos and acts of revenge when it falls''.
Colonel Riyadh al-Asaad, the leader of the Syrian Free Army who is based in Turkey, will chair the council.
It is believed Free Syrian Army fighters attacked a military intelligence base in the Damascus suburb of Harasta early on Wednesday, reportedly killing six soldiers in one of the most daring raids since anti-government protests began in February.
Despite the increasing threats to the Syrian regime, including a call this week from Jordan's King Abdullah for Mr Assad to step down, violence against civilians continued across the country.
Activists say at least 24 people have died since the Arab League announced Syria's suspension.
Despite activists' frustrations with the pace of the Arab League response, Rami Khouri, the director of the Issam Fares Institute of Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of Beirut, believes they are right to move slowly.
''You have got to keep the door open … you want to avoid a war situation that destroys the country,'' said Mr Khouri, who believes the Arab League actions are ''extremely significant''.
''The economy has been ravaged by the instability inside the country, and the sanctions are aggravating that even more.
''Business people who have until now been supportive of Assad are quite jittery … it could trigger political changes if some people who support the government decide to jump ship.''
The European Union banned all imports of Syrian oil in September, as well as placing 13 Syrian officials on a sanctions list, including Mr Assad.
The United States has imposed similar measures. However, Syria commentators such as Joshua Landis, the director of the Centre for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, said it was doubtful sanctions alone would tip the Assad regime from power.
''What sanctions do very effectively is make people poor and hungry,'' he wrote on his Syria blog. ''Governments are good at passing along the pain.
''The problem with sanctions is that they destroy national institutions … and make building democracy all the more difficult when the offending regime is finally overturned.''
Attacks against foreign embassies in Syria have also continued, with France's Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe, announcing that the ambassador, Eric Chevallier, had been recalled following a rise in violence against diplomatic missions.
Morocco also recalled its ambassador after crowds attacked the embassies of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates in Damascus, Agence France-Presse reported.

The new legal action comes despite the company successfully seeing off one class action last month after the Supreme Court of Victoria threw out the case on a legal technicality.
Class action firm ACA will announce Monday it had secured funding to sue the company for withholding information ahead of a 26 per cent crash in its share price in November last year.
In August last year, the company's annual report predicted increased growth for the year and that sense of optimism was reinforced at its October 2013 annual shareholder meeting.
The case will claim that in August, the company was already aware deteriorating market conditions and project delays would materially impact its profits. However it did not reveal the impact of those changes until November 20 when it cut its annual net profits guidance to a new range of $260 million to $300 million. It had told investors it would deliver net profit of $322 million.
"At the WorleyParsons AGM in October, the company was talking up the growth potential in Canada and Latin America and told investors they would see improved earnings across all sectors of the business," ACA lawyer Craig Allsopp said.
"Six weeks later, investors were told that conditions in Canada and Latin America combined with weakness in Australia were key factors behind the significant profit downgrade," he said.
Victoria's Supreme Court last month threw out a claim against WorleyParsons brought by Melbourne City Investments, finding the group's arguments were "flawed".
Mark Elliot, a former Minter Ellison partner who owns MCI, has vowed to make amendments to his claim so it can be re-litigated. But Mr Elliot, who in past two years alone has launched class actions against Banksia Securities,
"Unless Mr Elliott ceases to act for MCI in the proceedings or MCI is replaced as the representative plaintiff, Mr Elliott should be restrained from acting as the solicitor for MCI and the proceedings should not be permitted to continue as group proceedings," the Supreme Court of Victoria ruled last week after Leighton and Treasury Wine sought to have his class action against them dismissed.
A spokesman for WorleyParsons said the company would "vigorously defend any proceedings".
The company's stock closed at $18.15 on Friday but is still below its levels of early November 2013, when it was trading at around $21.59.

Humans take a backseat in this week's festival of free films on Hulu, all of which feature some of the furrier stars in the Criterion Collection. In Chester Erskine's adaptation of the comic George Bernard Shaw play Androcles and the Lion, a Christian slave is spared from death in the Colosseum after he pulls a thorn from a lion's paw. In Robert Bresson's overwhelming Au hasard Balthazar, the sinful world is seen through the eyes of a long-suffering donkey. Louis Malle sends a young woman to a world of talking animals and sexual perversity in the bizarre Black Moon. Sabu rides a pachyderm with aplomb in the film that made him a star, Elephant Boy, and then interacts with tigers, snakes, and wolves in Jungle Book. Two ghostly women exhibit feline tendencies in Kaneto Shindo's horror fable Kuroneko. In the gorgeously shot White Mane, by Albert Lamorisse (The Red Balloon), a boy helps a wild horse escape its captors. And in the thirty-minute short A Dog's Life, Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp has a partner to poke around with, the adorable mongrel Scraps. Watch this terrific comedy team work their interspecies magic below or at Hulu. And if you haven't already, don't forget to sign up for Hulu Plus. You'll be able to see the hundreds of other streaming Criterion films for $7.99 a month.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck says that he's a lot more comfortable going into the upcoming season.
"I'm 100 percent more comfortable than last year. It's nice to be able to have the full offseason with the team," Luck said in an interview that will air Wednesday on NFL Network's NFL Total Access, via NFL.com.
Luck is excited that his former college coordinator is now the Colts offensive coordinator.
"I'm really glad he's here," Luck said of Hamilton. "I'm very happy for Coach Arians down in Arizona. I don't think anyone deserves the opportunity more than he does. … Obviously, (Hamilton's) offense is different. In the end, it's still football, but you still gotta go out there and make the plays."
Bruce Arians really helped Luck last year. Even though he's now gone, the addition of Hamilton should also help Luck heading into his second season.

A trip for two.
That romantic, all-expenses paid trip to Cabo didn't happen like you two had planned, but lucky for you, there's a campsite hours away from home, and the Big Agnes Dream Island Sleeping Bag feels like a tropical getaway anyway. Thermolite Extra synthetic insulation helps you feel like you're sunbathing on a beach, even if you're camping in freezing temperatures.
The Dream Island also features Big Agnes' Free Range hoods that allow both of you to move your heads for a goodnight kiss, even with the hoods snugged tight. The Pillow Barns secure soft pillows inside pockets so you don't lose said softness by the morning. There are draft tubes around each zipper and collar for extra comfort, and the corner hand pockets tuck over your shoulders for more coverage.

Have questions about this product?
Very warm
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Great for couples and keeps you nice and warm on them cold camping trips.
Initial impressions
We just got this bag and I'm glad we got it for a car camping because it isn't very light! I like the bag and it seems like it will be great for my wife and I. We bought it to take our 16 month old kiddo camping and so we could have him between us. Back up plan is that I have another sleeping bag so my wife and son can be together in this. I'll update after we use it here soon.
Ok, not great....
The stitching on the left side where the two zippers meet started to break due to pressure. As you can clearly see this side was not stitched correctly. As I checked the other side which was stitched correctly this obviously was a mistake. The bag keeps you warm but I was not able to fit both of my 25" Cosmo insulated pads in the pad sleeves. Maybes miss read it but I thought 50 inches of pad would fit. I realize one pad that spanned 50 inches would be easier but two spanning the same length should fit but they over lap in the middle.
Great Couples Sleeping bag
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Hey Everyone,
My Wife and I recently purchased this bag for a weekend trip in the Tetons on Memorial weekend. This sleeping bag did not disappoint at all. The nights were cold, around 30 degrees and this bag kept us toasty throughout the night! The arm pockets on the side of the bag are a great idea and the top of the bag is so big it feels like a comforter over you. The material that they used for the inside is perfect. The only thing I would change is the bottom is just material it has no insulation. We knew this going into this bag so a Sleeping pad that is insulated is a MUST! We used it in the Sierra Designs Convert 3 with a blow up air mattress.
Don't forget to buy the pad!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this sleeping bag to take car camping and for our pop-up RV. Seemed like a great alternative to 2 sleeping bags and I was right! It fits nicely in the camper and weighs only 10 lbs. It's too big to use on a backpacking trip as it doesn't pack down very small.
Had to give it 4 stars because this is a multi part piece and we didn't know it. Luckily we had the foam mattresses in our camper for the first use, because there isn't any padding on the backside of the bag. It takes 2 pads that are 25" x 78"s long. I believe you can also purchase some pillows to go in the top as well, but for now I'll be bringing our own from home : ). If we had known this before purchasing, I might have opted for a different duo bag. As for the insulation and comfort, WORKS AWESOME and totally loved it!

This paper presents a generally applicable approach for the highly specific detection of blood proteins. Thrombin and thrombin-binding aptamers are chosen for demonstration purposes. The sensor was prepared by immobilizing amine-terminated aptamers onto a gold modified surface using a two-step self-assembled monolayer (SAM) immobilization technique and the physical detection is performed using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). The developed sensor has an optimal detectable range of 5–1000 nM and the results show the sensor has good reversibility, sensitivity and selectivity. Furthermore, the sensor shows the potential of being improved and standardized for direct detection of other blood proteins for clinical applications.

ANGLETON, Texas - Rex the yellow lab is running free at home in Angleton again, but it took a long, mysterious seven-month journey to reunite him with his owner.
When he went missing one night in February his owner Blake Peltier and a network of family and friends did all they could to find the 6-year-old pooch.
They put up signs, posted on social media, and responded to every call regarding a missing dog.
"I would drop everything and run as fast as I could and get there before that dog got away," said Peltier.
When the leads went cold, Blake's father Bob, who is also Rex's fishing buddy, says he resorted to prayer.
"This is the part that really breaks me up," said the senior Peltier. "Two weeks after I prayed for this dog we got a miracle. He showed up on TV"
In fact, Rex showed up on Local 2 News.
Last month the coast guard found the boat of a deceased fisherman floating in the West Bay of Galveston. On the boat were the man's belongings -- and what authorities thought was the man's yellow lab.
Blake Peltier says he was watching Local 2 when he saw the dog. Right away his family knew it was Rex because of a distinct marking. It was a scar across Rex's nose that he had received as a younger dog, trying to defend the family against a German Shepherd.
After contacting authorities and eventually a lawyer, Blake used shot records and photos to retrieve Rex from the fisherman's family. He was reunited with his dog on Monday.
"When he got in he knew it was me and he licked me on the cheek you know, and held his head back and you knew he was happy to see me," said Blake Peltier. "I feel like he's just, we were meant to be. Like soul mates."
A judge gave Blake Peltier custody of Rex and to put the issue to rest the family voluntarily contacted the University of California-Davis to conduct a DNA test to prove Rex is their dog.
On Wednesday they're going to take samples from several of Rex's offspring from the only litter he sired. Results are expected back in eight to 10 days.

Steven Seagull finds love back in West Duluth
WEST DULUTH - For those of you who were wondering -- Steven Seagull has returned.
For eight years now, the ring-billed gull has returned to Duluth each spring to beg for cake doughnuts at the West Duluth Super 8 Motel. The gull long ago learned to tap at the lobby's front door until a staff member feeds him. To keep the food to himself, he typically chases other gulls away.
But this year he had a girlfriend with him, general manager Jodi Chambers said.
"He usually chases all the other birds away, but this one he would actually pick up pieces and bring them to her," she said. "But he wouldn't let her up to feed at the little pile. He had to bring them to her."
This was only the second year that he fed another gull, Chambers said.
"We're waiting until one of these days when we have his head at the door and a bunch of little heads next to him," Chambers said. "That's what we're hoping for."

A good night's sleep is a luxury not afforded to beauty queens steeped in steamy competition.
Ever since the crop of slim-waisted, straight-teethed young women vying for this year's Miss USA crown arrived in Baton Rouge about two weeks ago, leisure time has practically vanished from their lives. Referred to collectively as "the girls," the 51 contestants in the past two weeks have played a charity pool volleyball game, sang karaoke downtown — also for charity — visited hospitalized children and toured historic landmarks such as the Old Governor's Mansion and Nottoway Plantation and Resort.
They've even risked stretching a seam or two by indulging in Louisiana's generally calorie-rich cuisine, attending a crawfish boil and slurping down raw oysters at Tony's Seafood.
Fun and games aside, the daunting judgment period to declare this year's winner officially began Wednesday night when the contestants paraded across the stage at the Baton Rouge River Center in curve-hugging swimsuits and sparkling dresses, garnering cheers from the throngs of supporters attending the Miss USA preliminary competition. Interviews — the third determining factor in the competition in addition to the swimsuit and evening gown walks — were conducted Thursday morning. And by the time the main event begins at 7 p.m. Sunday at the River Center, set for a three-hour telecast on NBC, the Top 20 will already be decided, set for announcement shortly after the main event begins, Miss USA representatives said.
For anyone not familiar with beauty pageants, the Miss USA Competition is completely separate from the Miss America Competition, in which the contestants must perform a talent, or "artistic expression," in addition to submitting to topic-driven interviews and the staple swimsuit and evening gown walks. The winner of Miss USA goes on to compete in Miss Universe, while the winner of Miss America does not go on to further competition.
Exactly what it takes to be Miss USA depends on who you ask. But unquestionably, contestants, their parents and Miss USA spokespeople interviewed in the past week say it involves much more than good looks.
"She's got to be business savvy, relatable and poised," said Miss West Virginia USA, Charisse Haislop. The 24-year-old manager of a prescription insurance card company and part-time pilates instructor hails from Parkersburg, West Virginia, about a two-hour drive southwest of Morgantown, where she attended college at West Virginia University.
If she wins, some of her biggest fans have promised to do something recently outlawed in her home state and commonly reserved for wild college football wins.
"They've threatened to burn couches," said Karla Haislop, Charisse's mother, who arrived in Baton Rouge along with her husband and several others Sunday night after a long road trip.
The proud mother will be among 40 to 50 people cheering on Charisse on Sunday night. To Karla, the competition is definitely not all about the beauty.
"No matter how pretty you are, if you're not confident out there, you're not going win," the mother said, adding that she believes the judging began about two weeks ago when the women arrived in Baton Rouge.
"It's a marathon, not a sprint," she said.
Sharon Soltero, 48, herself a former Mrs. Nebraska and mother of the current Miss Nebraska USA, Amanda Soltero, said the competition for Miss USA 2014, at least for her daughter, began as soon as she was crowned Miss Nebraska USA in January.
"Much of this is a mental game," Sharon Soltero said.
Her daughter, Amanda, 22, who in May graduated from the University of Nebraska, said she has been forced to give up some of her favorite foods in preparation for the competition. Among the sacrificed delights: Panera Bread's macaroni and cheese and Taco Bell's beefy five-layer burrito.
The smiley brunette said Miss USA is supposed to be "confidently beautiful," but also approachable and relatable. During her reign as Miss Nebraska USA, she has used the power of the sash to help raise awareness for children with cancer, which falls into the category of social responsibility many involved in the pageant say winners must embrace.
To prepare for the often nerve-racking personality interviews, where the women are asked questions about themselves, some competitors hire coaches, while others simply practice with friends or family, contestants said.
Other competition training includes brutal physical workouts and, for many, lots of shopping.
So much shopping, in fact, that at least one mother-daughter pair have grown tired of it.
"Shopping is no longer our favorite," said Michelle Olvera, 49, the mother of Miss North Carolina USA Olivia Olvera.
Seated beside her husband, Pete Olvera, a proud father with a "Pageant Dad" pendant pinned to his shirt Wednesday night, Michelle Olvera said her daughter brought 232 pounds of luggage for the two-week trip to Baton Rouge.
While that may seem outrageous to outsiders, other contestants reported similarly large loads, often numbering at least three large suitcases.
Haislop, Miss West Virginia USA, said she paid about $500 in extra luggage fees on the trip to Baton Rouge. Luckily for her, switching seats with a stranger earned her a $400 airline credit — meaning her departing trip won't be nearly as costly.
If she were to win, the departing voyage would take her to New York City, where financial responsibilities would largely disappear for the next year.
The lucrative prize package includes a luxury apartment in the city for the year; an undisclosed salary plus funds for living expenses; gifts from sponsors — there are many; a one-year scholarship from the New York Film Academy; access to wardrobe stylists, makeup and hair artists and fitness trainers; numerous traveling engagements; assistance with creating a modeling portfolio; and finally, "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that opens professional doors that would not otherwise be accessible," said Jackie Shahinian, a Miss USA spokeswoman.

[Max Brooks, author of the Zombie Survival Guide, has a new historical comic book out, called The Harlem Hellfighters, about the historic black 369th infantry regiment from WWI. Here's an exclusive essay that Max wrote for Boing Boing about his favorite history comic books. It's a terrific reading list! -- Mark]
History is boring, and I say that as a former history major. In high school, history was the only subject I was any good at. It kept me focused, it kept me engaged. It probably kept me off drugs. To this day, the "life story of the human race," to quote one of my college professors, is nothing short of a lifelong passion. However, it's a passion I share with very few people. And why? Because history is boring. Or, to be more accurate, it's too often presented in a boring way.
Too often teachers do nothing more than preach fact regurgitation, while using uninspired texts. They numb the brain and extinguish the heart with a flood of intricate details without ever taking the time to tie those details together. I've been lucky enough to have some great history teachers, and what made them great is that they always started with the BIG PICTURE. They introduced their subjects in the broadest, simplest, most easily digestible manner before diving into the specifics. That big picture thinking kept me as focused as the finished image on the box of a jigsaw puzzle, and it's a method I continue to use whenever I tackle a new subject. Read the rest

Reviews for Easy German Chocolate Cake
Average Rating
Reviewed Jan. 17, 2015
"I made this cake the other day for a German Shepherds 1 year bday party. No, the dogs didn't eat it. ;). It wasn't pretty but tasted ok. I thought that the butter/cream cheese mixture would somehow move to the bottom of the pan while baking. You know, to be with the pecans & coconut? Instead, as the cake baked and rounded across the top, the butter mixture dripped off and over the edge into the bottom of my oven. Not Good!When I realized that was happening I used a spatula to gouge long holes in the top of the cake so that the butter mixture would "sink in". The cake probably would have been even better if all of that mixture has blended in and down with the cake. What did I do wrong?"
Reviewed Aug. 22, 2014
"Used to make this w/ the residents at the nursing home. Only difference in the recipes was mine used 1 cup of coconut and only 2 cups powdered sugar. It was incredible!"

Professor Susan D. Carle Receives 2014 Liberty Legacy Foundation Award from the Organization of American Historians
Susan D. Carle, professor at American University Washington College of Law, was presented with the 2014 Liberty Legacy Foundation Award in April by the Organization of American Historians (OAH) for her book Defining the Struggle: National Organizing for Racial Justice, 1880-1915 (Oxford University Press).
The award, inaugurated in 2003 and presented at the OAH Annual Meeting, recognizes the best book by a historian on the civil rights struggle from the beginnings of the nation to the present.
"Through a deft, accessibly-written reconceptualization of the organizational foundations of the civil rights movement, Susan Carle makes an invaluable contribution to the historiography of the long civil rights movement in Defining the Struggle," said a statement from OAH Executive Director Katherine M. Finley. "Carle beautifully recovers the history of the nineteenth-century visionaries who powerfully shaped struggles for racial reform decades later. Thanks to Professor Carle, we now know that leaders of the Second Reconstruction owe these visionaries a great intellectual debt."
"On behalf of the AUWCL community, I congratulate Professor Susan Carle on this distinguished accomplishment," said Claudio Grossman, dean of American University Washington College of Law. "Professor Carle's compelling book and this honor on behalf of OAH are a testament to our high-caliber faculty – who are among the most respected scholars and excellent teachers in legal education."
Professor Susan D. Carle's teaching and research interests lie primarily in the areas of civil rights legal history, employment discrimination, labor and employment law, legal ethics, and the history and sociology of the legal profession. She has published numerous articles examining lawyers' conceptions of their professional obligations to further the public interest. Carle is editor of Lawyers' Ethics and the Pursuit of Social Justice (NYU Press Critical America Series 2005), which collects work in the emerging field of critical legal ethics scholarship. She has served as this law school's first Associate Dean for Scholarship and as chair of the American Association of Law Schools Section on Professional Responsibility and its Professional Development Committee, and is a member of the legal ethics advisory committee of the National Disability Rights Network.
Founded in 1907, the Organization of American Historians is the largest learned society and professional organization dedicated to the teaching and study of the American past. The OAH promotes excellence in the scholarship, teaching, and presentation of American history, and encourages wide discussion of historical questions and equitable treatment of all practitioners of history. Members in the United States and abroad include college and university professors, students, precollegiate teachers, archivists, museum curators, and other public historians employed in government and the private sector. www.oah.org

How Did 'Hedge' Lose Its Meaning?

Madrid, ES
The building brings together certain municipal services of a diverse ranging. From the municipal police headquarters to the offices of the Ministry of finance. Therefore a flexible building concept was needed to meet the demand and other needs that may arise in a near future.
The plot has three facades, and remains attached on the fourth. It is characterized by a big difference in height level between its opposite elevations. Taking advantage of this gap, we divided to create two separate accesses: one for the emergency services and one for the users to access the administrative areas.
The surrounding environment influences on the choice of heavy materials (concrete and stone) that maintain a clear relationship with the church and plaza. Concrete is used in situ to solve direct contacts with the dividing neighbor, with the streets and the garden. The volume which contains the offices, facing the church, is solved in stone with a ventilated facade system. The other necessary uses are located in the basement illuminated by a yard facing west.

The 'Django Unchained' director uses the controversial word backstage after collecting Best Screenplay at the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler-hosted show.
Quentin Tarantino seemed to have had enough of people questioning his use of N-words in his movie "Django Unchained". The director/actor/producer defied his critics by uttering the phrase himself backstage at the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards after winning Best Screenplay.
To the press, the triumphant movie veteran noted people didn't criticize him for using it "more than it was used in the South in 1858," but "they think I should soften it, that I should lie, that I should massage." The 49-year-old added, "I would never do that when it comes to my characters."
Quentin won Best Screenplay, beating Chris Terrio ("Argo"), Tony Kushner ("Lincoln"), David O. Russell ("Silver Linings Playbook"), and Mark Boal ("Zero Dark Thirty"). He accepted the coveted award from presenters Amanda Seyfried and Robert Pattinson.
The movie also helped Christoph Waltz win Best Supporting Actor, beating Alan Arkin ("Argo"), Leonardo DiCaprio ("Django Unchained"), Philip Seymour Hoffman ("The Master") and Tommy Lee Jones ("Lincoln").
"Quentin, you know that my indebtedness to you knows no words," so Chris said during his acceptance speech.

Saying Goodbye to Artist Martha SaudekPosted April 01 2016
Creative Catalyst had the honor of working with Martha on her workshop, Sunlight on Oak Creek: Applying the Lessons of Plein Air to Photographic Reference with Martha Saudek.
Martha was born on November 27,1923. She was passionate about art and painting her whole life. In her early teens, an uncle she never met who was an art critic for the New York Sun newspaper would send her professional watercolor materials. She would send her finished pieces to him and he would then send her a critique. Orphaned while still a teenager, a sorority sister of her mother's paid for her college education. She worked as an elementary school teacher. Upon retirement in the late 70's she decided to "see how far I can go' as a professional artist. She has paintings hanging in museums in Taiwan and Japan. Her work is also in private collections around the world.

Abba Pure Gentle Shampoo 8.45 fl oz
The best shampoo in the universe! I don't even have to use conditioner because of this stuff, and I have mid to long, heavy, thick, color treated hair (which is usually prone to tangling). This shampoo isn't just great for me though. This works great for my mother, who has fine hair, my aunt who has curly hair, my husband who has dry hair... basically, I have recommended this shampoo to pretty much everyone I know, and they all love it! This is also excellent for anyone with sensitive skin, or a sensitive scalp. This shampoo was formally known as Abba Nourishing Shampoo, but the packaging was redesigned, and the name was changed to Pure Gentle Shampoo in 2008. The original label indicated that this shampoo is also suitable as a body cleanser, and I can attest that this is quite true. Aside from the phenomenal results, this shampoo is vegan, cruelty free, and contains no DEA, sulfates, or synthetic dyes.

A sane guess is a majority of readers are familiar with Jack Daniel's Whiskey.
Another sane guess is many of the readers have thrown down the ol' hatch a few slugs of Tennessee 's Finest!The Jack Daniel Distillery, located in Lynchburg, is an iconic part of American culture, indeed. Year after year, it draws a plethora of visitors from all across the globe. Still, people from all across the globe imbibe the whiskey by the tractor-trailer loads - barge loads!Marty Bragg, from Minnesota, was in the area to attend a concert in Chattanooga. She and I rendezvoused May 19 in Manchester for a visit, and we headed down toward Lynchburg.We arrived at the Jack Daniel Distillery around 10:30 a.m. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait very long to get on the bus for a grand tour of this fun, and most edifying, piece of Tennessee History.The tour guide, a well-spoken, southern gentleman named Ron, walked the group through the complete history of Jack Daniel and the famous whiskey he created — a whiskey that probably has as good a chance of standing the "test of time" as any other commodity on the planet.At one point, Ron walked the group inside the small building Daniel used as an office. However, allow me to, first, interject this before going further: Daniel — birth name being "Jasper Newton Daniel" — died on Oct. 10, 1911, at the age of 61.Over the years, I'd heard more than once that the reason for Daniel dying at such a relatively young age was he'd sampled too much of his own product a few too many times. . . . Alas, not so!Ron revealed to us listeners a most intriguing story. One morning, Daniel came to the office, earlier than usual. Daniel attempted to get inside the safe. For whatever reason, he was unable to get the combination right. Frustrated, Daniel kicked the safe, injuring his toe. After a few months, the toe became infected. Gangrene set in, and the toe had to be amputated.As the years wore on, and the gangrene spread, doctors had to perform periodic amputations farther on up his leg. Eventually, as already noted, Daniel died.Ron told us the common wisdom around Lynchburg is: Had Daniel soaked his injured toe in a barrel of his 140 proof whiskey, immediately after suffering the injury, such a procedure might've cured the infection.
Lesson learned, Ron mused: "Don't come to work early, it's gonna kill you!"We ended our tour inside what some might call a "most holy place," if one dare mix such terminology with whiskey. This particular room is dedicated to single barrel whiskey, which is the crème de la crème of the line.Actually, this single barrel room, tall and spacious, resembles an ultra-secret, maximum security vault where top secret government files would be covertly housed, or maybe, where a Bernie Madoff-type would stash millions in ill-gotten funds.Regarding this sacred room, Ron told us that whenever an individual purchases a single barrel, that person's name is engraved on what looks like a lockbox.Word has it that a barrel was procured for President Barack Obama. For certain, Obama's name is engraved in the Single Barrel Room.All I can say is: Wow, how historically intoxicating!And never forget: Daniel forever will be with us - in spirit that is.Mike Vinson can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
