These ladies are all stylish, smart, and sassy. And since those are the first words that spring to mind, we often forget that in addition to being accomplished actresses and savvy business women, they're stepmoms too!
While some, like Khloe Kardashian, are still learning how to adjust to their new role, others, like Jennifer Lopez and Katie Holmes, have been co-parenting now for years.
Whatever the case, there's no doubt that these stepmoms always seem to manage every familial situation with love, friendship, and a great deal of grace.

Discussion Forum
In regards to the man who called your show to complain about the use of the word "awesome". You were very nice and understanding with him. If it was me I would have given him a tongue lashing. People who complain about how young people are misusing the language should consider, first, that the way young people talk is probably going to be the way everyone talks in the future. But more importantly, remember what it was like to be young. The caller said he'd prefer to say "great" but when I was a young person, back in the 60s and 70s, the older generation said we used that word too much, just like "awesome" is used now. At one time great meant very large or very important "The Great Migration" "Alexander the Great" etc. not a fairly general comment of approval.
The first principle of historical linguistics is that living languages change, otherwise we'd all be speaking Anglo-Saxon, or even Indo-European. Some words become more general in meaning, "thing" originally meant an assembly. Some become more specific, "deer" originally meant any animal.
Oops! the topic should say "conservatives" not "conservates" which sounds like something you put in jars for the winter.
larrfirr said: The first principle of historical linguistics is that living languages change, otherwise we'd all be speaking Anglo-Saxon, or even Indo-European. Some words become more general in meaning, "thing" originally meant an assembly. Some become more specific, "deer" originally meant any animal.
Grant would call this evolution (and acceptance) of the use of "awesome" a matter of descriptive linguistics rather than prescriptive linguistics. So as you observed, language changes in spite of what the dictionaries might currently say. Back in the 60s, we'd use the superlative "cool" or "groovy." I believe that was followed by "rad" (for radical). Then there was "bad" (meaning good). Many others have been in vogue since then, but these days it seems to be "awesome." I agree that it's probably overused and losing its original meaning … few things truly inspire "awe," but that's the way it goes. No tongue lashing is needed, imho.
By the way, I did not know that "deer" originally meant "any animal" so I had to check it here. You are indeed correct. Thanks for that interesting insight.
There are 2 aspects to sentiments about novel usages that might have been too conflated in this discussion: The disapprobations against the fads (such as by ethnic or youth cultures), and the concerns over the upholding of traditional usages.

'Dumb and Dumber To' Post-Credits Scene Teases Another Sequel
A sequel to 1994's 'Dumb and Dumber' seemed like a silly idea until 'Dumb and Dumber To' went and made $36 million in its opening weekend. Now, the sky is the limit for the aging idiots played by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels and the thought of a third film ('Dumb and Dumberer' is not official canon) doesn't seem all that crazy. In fact, the new film is already waaay ahead of you. If you stuck around through the end credits of 'Dumb and Dumber To,' you already know that the post-credits scene teases a theoretical third entry in the series.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Dumb and Dumber To' Proves That It Pays to be Stupid
'Dumb and Dumber To' arrives two decades after the first film was one of the bigger hits of 1994 and no one knew what to make of it ... until it topped the box office this weekend and made it look easy. Now, the idea of two middle-aged actors returning to two of the most idiotic characters in modern movie history doesn't seem so desperate and crazy. It seems canny.
'SNL': Woody Harrelson Sings Taylor Swift With His 'Hunger Games' Co-Stars
When Woody Harrelson was revealed to be hosting 'SNL' just a few days before the new 'Hunger Games' movie was set to open in theaters, it was obvious that the massively popular franchise would, somehow, figure into at least one sketch. Surprisingly, that ended up being the opening monologue, which featured Harrelson performing his own version of Taylor Swift's '1989.' With a little help from some friends.
There Will Be At Least Three More 'Fast and Furious' Movies
Earlier this week, it was reported that Justin Lin was being courted by Universal to return to the 'Fast and Furious' series after taking 'Furious 7' off and giving the director's seat to James Wan. It was also reported that his return would be be part of a two film "grand finale" that would send this beloved franchise driving off into the sunset. But that second part is just plain silly. Have you seen the box office receipts for these movies? So it should come as no surprise that the studio has "at least three" more Dominic Toretto and company adventures in the pipeline.
Our Worst Fears Realized; They're Turning the Universal Monsters Into Superheroes
The likes of Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolf Man have no business aping the Marvel "shared universe" structure in the first place. They're monsters! Let them monster! Any of our well-intentioned blogging-into-the-wind was too little, too late because the head of Universal has pretty much come and out said that they're taking the horror out of their horror icons.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Interstellar' and 'Big Hero 6′ Have a Showdown
The showdown between 'Interstellar' and 'Big Hero 6' has got to be one of the most interesting things to happen to the box office in 2014. After all, it would be tough to find two movies that are simultaneously so different and so alike. Both are pro-science adventures that are all about using your intelligence to save your friends and family. However, one is an animated, family friendly release from Disney and the other is a three-hour epic from the ever-serious Christopher Nolan. In other words, they represent opposite ends of the blockbuster spectrum.
'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' Final Trailer: The Middle-Earth Saga Goes Out With a War
The final 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' trailer has arrived and, well, it looks like another 'Hobbit' movie. If your faith in director Peter Jackson's vision of Middle-Earth remains unshaken, prepare to get excited. If the previous two films have muted your excitement for the series, prepare to see...more of the same.
'Chappie' Trailer: The Director of 'District 9′ Presents a Family and Their Robot
What are we to make of the 'Chappie' trailer, which looks to promise a funny, thoughtful and original science-fiction tale about a robot who "grows up" in the South African slums? On one hand, it's from the director 'District 9.' On the other hand, that same man also directed 'Elysium.' The fact that the trailer name-drops the former and not the latter gives us hope that this is Neill Blomkamp returning to form after his sophomore misfire.
Hans Zimmer Will Return For 'Batman vs. Superman' Score With Help From Junkie XL
Even the most passionate critics of 'Man of Steel' tend to agree that Hans Zimmer's bombastic and emotional score is a highlight of the film, so it wasn't surprising at all when he was invited back to score 'Batman vs. Superman.' What is surprising is how he's choosing to go about it. In keeping with the confrontational aspect of the film, Zimmer will provide all of Superman's music and another composer will provide the score for the Caped Crusader.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Nightcrawler' Edges Out the Competition in a Very Close Race
Although 'Nightcrawler,' the only new wide release of the week, did end up taking the top spot at the box office this weekend, it did so in one of the tightest races we've ever seen. The top six films all came within $3 million of each other and the order could have radically changed by a stiff breeze for all we know. Heck, some titles may get swapped around by tomorrow when the studios release some more official numbers.

Missoni's New Converse Collaboration Is Available Now
>> Spring footwear season has officially arrived. Over the weekend, Missoni released its new collaboration with Converse, adding its signature pattern to the shoe brand's classic Chuck Taylor sneaker.
The shoes come in three colorways: white, pale green, and navy blue. The green and white women's styles hint at the traditional Missoni chevron, while the blue unisex version features a haphazard woven effect. All three styles retail for $200, and will be sold in limited editions at Jeffrey, Fred Segal, and Aloha Rag — as well as on the Converse website.
This isn't the first time Missoni has partnered with Converse; the two brands worked on a line of colorful, striped high-tops last Spring. This year's offering, in the gallery.

Other CN winners were by junior Will Speaker (113), junior Cody Speaker (120) and junior Kenny King (285).
Columbus North dropped to 13-9 in dual meets with the result.

The room decor was dated with some of the wallpaper ripped and border missing. The window required to be reputtied as the glass was slack in the window frame and not sealed properly, otherwise, the room was clean and tidy and the tea/coffee facilities were good too. If we do come back to this hotel it would be to see if the rest of the hotel was to the same standard or this has been an isolated case

You've read about it, you've seen the teaser art, now here's the first trailer for E!'s Mrs. Eastwood & Company, the network's upcoming docu-soap starring Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood's family.

Secret 'Seinfeld' Project Finally Revealed During Super Bowl (Video)
Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander and Wayne Knight all reprised their roles from the beloved hit series in a spot that aired Sunday.
After many teases and mysterious photos, the highly anticipated Seinfeld reunion was unveiled Sunday during Super Bowl XLVIII.
Jerry Seinfeld teased the reunion last week in an interview in which he refused to confirm or deny that it was a spot for the Super Bowl or an episode of his web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee -- turned out it was both.
VIDEOS: The Most Talked About Super Bowl Commercials
Seinfeld, Jason Alexander and Wayne Knight all reprised their roles from the beloved hit series, which aired from 1989-98 on NBC, in a spot that aired Sunday.
Jerry (Seinfeld) and George (Alexander) return to Tom's Restaurant, where Jerry explains the -- rather funny -- reasons that George didn't get invited to a Super Bowl party at the Wassersteins. Among them? George apparently "overcheered and ruined the whole party" two years ago. He also "availed himself of the toilet in their master bedroom."

Newman (Knight) then makes an appearance. And yes, Seinfeld utters the line, "Newman!"
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee's season-three finale debuts Feb. 6 at 12 p.m. ET.
The web series, from Crackle, also welcomed this season Louis C.K., Tina Fey, Jay Leno, Patton Oswalt and Todd Barry. Comedians recently topped 25 million streams, making it Crackle's No. 1 original series.

Posted: August 11, 2014
I have been playing golf now for 22 years and had never made a hole in one until Tuesday August 5th, 2014. I have been a low single digit for many years and have hit many flags sticks on several different par 3s, but could never get the ball to drop in the hole! Last Tuesday, I stepped up on number 16 tee at Maple Ridge GC in Columbus, Ga, which laser'd 195 to the flag which was back right. With a slight breeze in my face, I select my 2013 Cllwy X-forged 4 iron with PXi 6.5, choked down about an inch and took a smooth swing making super clean contact with the new ProV1x 3. I am a high ball hitter and watched the ball land 2 to 3 feet left of hole high, bounced 2 to 3 times and rattle the stick. I let out the biggest yell ever I think! "OH MY GOD! THAT WENT IN!" I believe those were my exact words! I am glad it was on a longer, more difficult hole as that makes my story a little more exciting! Hopefully the next one will come easier and much sooner than another 22 years!

1945 25C MS67 PCGS. As with some other P-mint wartime issues
from World Wars I and II the emphasis was on quantity at the
expense of quality. This 1945 quarter is one of 20 such at PCGS,
with a sole MS68 finer (5/13). The light rose-copper patina around
the obverse rim explodes to cover most of the reverse, but the
surface preservation and eye appeal are spectacular.(Registry

Randolph314 United States Show all reviews | This is one of the better Demeter scents I've tried, although that's not saying much. It's much less synthetic-smelling than most of their line. It doesn't really capture the pastry quality of apple pie, but it is a fairly accurate reproduction of apple pie filling (apple and cinnamon). Unfortunately, like most Demeter scents, the longevity is atrocious. 12th November, 2006 |

Spinning Butterfly Card
By: Sandie Bachand for Posh Impressions
The 3-D butterfly on this card from Posh Impressions, created with the help of a stamp, actually spins as the card is turned. This is a fun effect for those opening up the homemade stamped card.
- Heart Border Stamp
- Stamp 'n' Store Borders 1
- VersaMark Watermark ink
- #43 Brilliant Yellow Marvy ink
- Set POSH - 02 Butterfly Set
- Shades of Mauve Blending Blox
- Red wire
- 2 pennies
- Round foam dot - 1/8" thick
- Wire Pliers
- Scissors
- Craft Knife
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Adhesive
- Cut pieces: Red cardstock: 6" square (folded in half for a 3" x 6" card), ½" x 3" (cutting template); Bright yellow cardstock: 3" x 7", 1" x 5", 1" x 3"
- Using VersaMark ink randomly stamp small heart on front of card to create a subtle background pattern. Place red cardstock template on front of card approximately ½" from right edge and 1" from bottom edge. Trace with pencil. Cut out using craft knife and ruler.
- On large yellow piece stamp three butterflies using yellow ink for the solid portion and Mauve Blending Blox for the outline (use the lightest shade of the Blending Blox.). Cut out close to outline. On one of the butterflies, cut off the antennae. On the yellow strips stamp diamond border in yellow ink. Overstamp dots border using lightest shade of Blending Blox. Adhere one butterfly to the left end of long strip.
- Bend a piece of wire in half. Using pliers curl the ends in loops. Adhere the wire behind the butterfly element in place of the antennae previously removed. Assemble the card: Adhere long yellow strip inside card so pattern is visible through window. Adhere small yellow strip vertically on left side of card. Place foam dot between two pennies. Adhere one penny to the back of the wired butterfly. Slip the penny through the previously cut window. Adhere the second butterfly to the remaining penny so it is visible when card is opened. Tilt the card and watch the butterflies spin in the window!

BoBoBo-Bo BoBo-Bo Volume 1
Heres a hint. Its another Shonen Jump related title, and theres a big frigging guy who looks like the illegitimate offspring of Johnny Bravo and a bad Japanese stereotype of a large beefy guy with a bad seventys hairstyle as the star (well call him Bo for short).
Its the 30th Century and the world is enslaved by bald people who seem to have bought most of their uniforms from a Toriyama DBZ armor sale. The main guy who leads these chromedomes wants to make the world bald, but as long as people like the big beefy (maybe a distant relation of Osaka and that guy from Fist of the North Star) star of this title, Bo, is around parody laced hillarity will ensue.
As the series starts young Beauty (the only main female star of the series at this point) has just saw an entire spare DBZ backdrop village lose its hair, and she would have been next Image 1 of 5. Click to enlarge
At the end of the episode Beauty joins forces with Bo, and pickle is kicked to the curb.
Who is pickle? Why is it a talking pickle? Why did Bo hate him so? I dont know, and I dont care.
After that Bo and Beauty run into trouble as they run afoul of a weird group of mini Pokemon slash Digimon slash Monster Rancher reject creatures (one creature cloned ad nauseum), another fashion victim from another Anime Image 2 of 5. Click to enlarge
After a long struggle, a duel themed to the topic of tales told to a Christmas theme (including the ills of churro promotion gone wrong EAT THE DAMN CHURRO and whatever Bo did), the kidnapping of Beauty (shes saved in the end by someone who isnt Bo), and a battle which leads to the produce-ification of Bo and a blind date from hell the episode ends (Episode 2).
After that Bo and Beauty go to a festival and Bo goes crazy, making everyone in the festival hate him. It doesnt help that later Beauty runs into a beefy near naked crazy dude with a duck undies on his head which turns out to be a living duck that is the product of the insane mating between a duck and female panties isnt that illegal in all 50 states and the sooner or later 51st State of Mexico? I think so.
The DVD ends with Bo crashing Don Pardos graduation from some high school and once again hilarity ensues as does much parodying.
Basically what you see is what you get.
If you Image 3 of 5. Click to enlarge
If you are too serious and hardcore about the perfection of Anime then you wont want this, its for those who dont mind a good laugh (or just a laugh period if you begin to realize the same puns spun in different ways keep popping up over and over again) then this might be for you.
Oh, its OK for the most part. Animation is nice and well done, the story is downright weird and (yes especially in light of the uncut version) makes what I saw in Excel Saga seem rather well adjusted and normal in comparison. Oh, and for some reason the episodes just seem to drag on forever must be because of the added-back in uncut content.
So if you want a good laugh, or just to laugh period, Bo may indeed know you well.
Bobobobob WHATEVER!! BoBoBo-Bo or was it Bo-BoBoBo BoBo-Bo?
It gets 4... (spacey expression, hands up) wig out wig out wig out wig out out of 5... Wig out wig out wig out wig out wig out (zzzzzz .)

BOSTON - NOVEMBER 05: Paul Mara #22 of the Montreal Canadiens knocks the puck away from Brad Marchand #63 of the Boston Bruins on November 5, 2009 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
The Bruins came out firing on Monday, and the Hurricanes fired back their best response. Now, the two teams will duke it out in what is quickly becoming an emotional affair down in Carolina.
Brad Marchand scored a shorthanded goal to spark the Bruins early, but his comments during the first intermission also could serve as a springboard for the team. While admitting that this is a revenge game for the Bruins because of their struggles against the 'Canes last season, Marchand threw down the gauntlet.
Now, it's up to the B's to pick it up and meet the challenge — something that NESN Nation's Dan Duquette is looking forward to.

Croatian Times
Zagreb firm DOK-ING will present its XD electric city car at the International Autosalon & Motor Show on 4 March in Geneva.
Engineers at DOK-ING, one of the international leaders in the design and manufacture of multi-purpose, robotic vehicles, have been working on that research and development project for the last four years and succeeded in single-handedly creating a new electric automobile.
The three-seat car has been designed primarily as an ecologically-acceptable vehicle for use in urban areas. It is 2.8 metres long, 1.7 metres wide and 1.6 metres high. The XD has been designed by Igor Juric.
Customers will have a choice between a cheaper lead battery and a new-generation battery made of lithium, iron and phosphate (LiFeP04) that is light, ecologically-acceptable and non-combustible.
Following two hours of charging, the car will be able to travel a distance of 250 kilometres. It will be equipped with a regenerative braking system enabling it to recharge during braking. It will have a five-year warranty.
An electric cars advantages are less pollution and cheaper fuel as well as rather long use without a need for servicing.
The company added that such cars had other advantages, especially when it came to city driving: quiet operation, no exhaust and easier steering.
The maximum speed of 130 kilometres an hour speed can be adjusted according to customers' requirements.

text: What will 2012 bring in air travel?By Brett Snyder, Special to CNNUpdated 8:08 AM ET, Mon December 26, 2011While some travelers wish that fees would disappear, that's not going to happen, Brett Snyder says.Story highlightsIf fuel prices spike higher, then airlines will be forced to raise fares regardless of demandIt's just about certain that there will be fewer flights in the next yearNext year might be the year when things really heat up on the mobile frontIt's the end of 2011, so you know what that means. It's time for everyone to come out of the woodwork with their predictions for 2012. So what will happen in the world of air travel?Here are some thoughts on what the coming year might have in store.Fares will go up . . . or downThe one thing everyone wants to know is whether fares will keep going up. We've seen plenty of increases in 2011, but will that continue? That really depends on two things: passenger demand and fuel prices.Despite a still-shaky economy, demand for flights has been quite strong, and that has enabled airlines to keep raising fares. If demand continues to strengthen, then you can bet we'll see more increases in the new year. If it starts to drop off, then fares will likely start to fall, or at the very least, stay the same.Just WatchedBill would limit checked baggage feereplayMore Videos ...Bill would limit checked baggage fee 02:17PLAY VIDEOThe one thing that can get in the way of that plan is high fuel prices. If prices spike higher, then airlines will be forced to raise fares regardless of demand. If that happens, then airlines will also have to cut the number of flights.Still holding backFewer flights, however, will likely be the case no matter what happens with fuel.Airlines have shown a great deal of discipline in terms of holding back the number of seats and flights they've put out there over the last few years, and that isn't likely to change. In fact, as Holly Hegeman, founder of PlaneBusiness.com notes, there are a couple of events that will directly affect that."In 2012, U.S. airlines will continue to reduce capacity both domestically in the U.S. and on international flights," she notes."Specifically, Southwest Airlines will be removing service in many AirTran markets as the airlines' merger moves forward, and American Airlines will cut back on its service in certain markets as part of its bankruptcy restructuring. Excess capacity across the Atlantic is also being trimmed."You can expect fewer flights to smaller cities in general. That's the continuation of a trend we've seen for several years. Fortunately, not all is gloom and doom. There are some bright spots when it comes to technology.More mobileI asked Henry Harteveldt, travel industry analyst at Atmosphere Research Group, for his predictions for the new year since he always has his ear to the ground. His first thought? He expects that 2012 will be "the first year that airlines see a meaningful number of reservations made through mobile devices." That seems like a good bet. Smartphones and tablets are gaining ground rapidly, and airlines have raced to improve functionality. Next year might be the year when things really heat up, as airlines continue to make it easier to do business with them while on the road. No end to feesWhile some travelers wish fees would disappear, that's not going to happen. Some new rules from the federal government will make it a little easier to find fee information up front, but fees are proving to be a great way for the airlines to be able to offer lower base fares and then let people pay more if they want more.That doesn't mean the experience will remain exactly the same when it comes to buying tickets. Airlines will, in Harteveldt's opinion, "start to get more creative about bundling." Frontier is ahead of the curve on this one, offering different fare categories that include different amenities bundled together as a package. So there you have it. I actually think flying will be less frustrating next year and here's hoping all of your journeys are smooth in 2012.More from travelSaving the Galapagos, saving ourselvesMapping history's 'invisible' womenWorld's most popular natural wondersPowered by Livefyre

The Griffon: the deposit or compensation?
The recent decision of Mr Justice Teare in Griffon Shipping LLC v Firodi Shipping Ltd (the Griffon) [2013] EWHC 593 (Comm) heralds a departure from the previously held view that under clause 13 of the standard form Norwegian Sale Form 1993, where a buyer fails to pay the deposit under a memorandum of agreement, an innocent seller's claim is limited to compensation for its losses. In this case, the court concluded that a seller is in fact entitled to claim the deposit in such circumstances.
Griffon Shipping LLC, as Sellers, entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with Firodi Shipping Ltd, as Buyers, for the purchase of the MV Griffon. The MOA was on a standard Norwegian Sale Form 1993 (NSF 93). Pursuant to clause 2 of the MOA, a deposit of 10%, (US$2,156,000) was due to be paid within three banking days of signature of the MOA. The MOA was signed but the deposit was not paid within the three banking days. On the following day, the Sellers accepted the Buyers' conduct as a repudiation of the MOA and/or cancelled the MOA…

OKaaay - took her for a ride - must be 50 horsepower at the lower rpm that magically appeared.
Have the light silver and blue springs in there as well as the silver stop. Initial at 12-13 now, OMG - what a low end difference. I really did a dummy though - I 'lost' my timing mark, something I haven't done in years . 180* out. I looked at that @#$% round GM looking rotor then when I put it back - dammit, these old eyes saw something different. Gotta say - when it backfires, rattles the neighborhood . I was going to play with the carb, but it seems to be 'right'. Starts well and no stumble or dead spots. Thanks to those that lent their advice and restoked my banked memory pit. I hope that others will see what can be done with that package of springs and stops that comes with an MSD distributor. If it's missing from yours, the part number is MSD 8464 and it's ~$13 from Summit Dave W

Just curious what you have ended up with as to the vacuum source? |
Dave W
Irelands child |
Well it's still raining so no change in the vacuum source.
I have some concern over my harmonic balancer now and always have. Being originally a crate motor, it had the wrong timing arrangement (EFI/mag pick up, no timing pointer) so I replaced the damper. It's keyed to only go on one way and with the #1 piston at the top of its stroke and found by dial indicator, determined what set of marks were correct for my engine. Timing it the other day (see the posts above) started the engine at 25-30* BTDC based on the timing tape and the marks. It ran very smoothly - until I moved it to the 12-13* I've left it at and it is quite rough. This makes me suspect the balancer (and maybe the tape) regardless of how I originally did my installation. Supposedly this is a new, not a rebuilt 50 in.oz. damper for my late model 5.0 and from a decent vendor. Makes me wonder if the elastomer may have failed or assembled wrong. I don't have a problem buying a new damper as this one is not SFI approved, not that I'll turn huge rpm's for any length of time (couldn't find a damper reasonably priced when I built the engine up for non EFI use). Comments appreciated. Dave W

Stuart Leeds Quits Ethics Commission
POSTED: Wednesday, December 1, 2010 - 5:51pm
UPDATED: Thursday, December 9, 2010 - 7:45pm
Stuart Leeds says he's resigning for ethical reasons.
"We're supposed to be regulating their conduct. Ethically or not, why are they sitting at the table with us telling us how to draft our rules?" Leeds said.
Leeds argues that the Ethics Commission cannot be run independently when all legal advice comes from the County Attorney's office, an entity that the commission could potentially investigate. One ethics expert agrees.
"We had an expert from Connecticut, Robert Wechsler, an expert on ethics, an Ivy League graduate of law school and he basically says to have the County Attorney be the legal advisor to our commission when our commission's mandate is to regulate the ethical conduct of the attorney's office, is a perversion. It's a conflict of interest," Leeds said.
The Texas Attorney General says that the County Attorney of El Paso County is required to represent the El Paso County Ethics Commission in all legal matters. He also states that the El Paso County Attorney cannot be divested of his duties against his will. Local attorney Mario Gonzalez disagrees.
"It has a built in conflict of interest. No lawyer should ever attempt to represent both parties to litigation, yet in this community that's exactly the prerogative that the County Attorney's office has given to itself. The Attorney General is not the final authority. He only offers an opinion. That's why they call it an opinion. It's not the law," Gonzalez said.
Leeds says that without an outside attorney, the Ethics Commission will never be able to function as it should.
"Tomorrow night at the Ethics Commission meeting, you'll see it's a foregone conclusion that they're going to accept the Attorney General's opinion and accept the County Attorney's office as the legal advisor. And I think shame on them for doing so," Leeds said.
We talked to County Attorney Jo Anne Bernal about Stuart Leeds' resignation.
She said, "I would not give legal advice if a complaint were filed against me or anyone in my office."
"I would step aside and ensure that a lawyer outside of my office provided legal advice."
Bernal added, "State law says that the County Attorney shall provide legal advice to all county officials."
Comments News Comments
Only a person who has never been involved with ethics commissions at any local level could disagree with Mr. Leeds observation that they exist merely as a rubber stamp for people who would like to circumvent the rules or use them for personal gain. And reading press releases does not qualify one to comment intelligently.
get that twinkle back in your eyes....You seem to have lost it! Rules, shmules you do whats right!
I remember when you you wore your first suit! You had a twinkle in your eye and you looked like you could take on the world.... Get that twinkle back Mr. Leeds you know whats right!
It doesn't take an Ivy League lawyer to ponder how else is Bernal supposed to keep herself out of hot water should an ethics issue arise. Oh wait, conflict of interest is an ethics issue! Im sure she would be quick to offer/appoint her own "outside" lawyer per "State Law" right? Its called entitlement and it comes from being the only female attorney board certified in Civil Trial Law in El Paso Texas.
Ang the corruption continues.
The ethics peson is not to e associted with anyone active legal counsel to assue checks and balnces.
Good. Mr Leeds needed to go. Don't know him from a hill of beans but it appeared he wanted to use the Ethics Commission as his own Star Chamber to investigate folks he perceived have "done him wrong." Mr Leeds has a problem obviously with authority. He can't take direction nor can he abide by rules. Perhaps he should volunteer to assist Mr Holder in the prosecution of the Guantanamo Bay terrorists.

YEAR OF THE SHEEP: 100% of sales of Argan Oil on givingbeauty.com will go toward buying sheep for the Berber women who make our argan oil. Sheep provide milk, wool for weaving, and can be bred for market. Our goal is 15 sheep that will impact 15 women, but we hope to exceed this! Read more about this initiative on the blog. Now through 3/18/15.
At Kahina, we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality, certified organic and fair trade argan oil, delivered fresh in small batches directly from the source.
Extremely rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants, argan oil has been shown to:

Light and non-greasy, argan oil absorbs easily, instantly giving skin a radiant glow.
Click here to learn more about what makes Kahina Giving Beauty Argan Oil the very best quality.
*Ingredient from Organic Farming
Natural and Organic cosmetic certified by ECOCERT Greenlife according to ECOCERT Standard available at cosmetics.ecocert.com
Read the review by My Lucite Dreams
Read the review by Pemberley Jones
"The product I can't live without." - Donna Karan, designer
"The fact of the matter is, not all argan oil is created equal, and the lengths that Kahina goes to in order to ensure the highest quality for their products and the people making their products is something you just can't put a price tag on." – Siobhan O'Connor, No More Dirty Looks
"My brother asked me quite a while back to recommend a face oil, and so I recommended yours. A few months later we saw one another and I couldn't believe how gorgeous his skin looked. He beamed when I told him and said it was from the face oil, and that his skin had never felt so 'buttery soft'! Thank you for making my brother's skin so beautiful!"
"I literally cannot believe how non-greasy and easily absorbed it is. And I can proudly vouch that this is THE best there is."
"I was in love at first touch. I was VERY hesitant to put oil on my face. I now put that oil on anyone who will let me. My eczema is gone!"
"A few tall glasses of water + a few drops of Kahina's pure argan oil are my go-to ingredient for supple skin. (Same for my boyfriend though he'd never admit it!)"
"I am happy to say I turn 47 this month, and I don't feel the need to wear foundation because Kahina Giving Beauty has made my skin glow, and I don't want to cover that up!"
"My skin is smoother, more radiant and I am glowing. I am using argan oil on my hair as well; .. it gives it beautiful shine and [prevents] frizz. Kahina does everything that I need for my skin."
"This is 100% organic argan oil is fierce! As a black female already a sucker for nutritive essential oils to keep my combination skin in balance, this one is a keeper and I now place it up there among my favorites. Odorless and light (unlike many other popular oils i.e. olive, coconut and vitamin e) I've used it everywhere – my face, body, hair, even as a cuticle softener. Is there anything this oil can't do? Even more incredible – argan oil absorbs very well and doesn't leave a greasy residue on me. Delightful!"
"Over the past year I've developed rashes, flakes, and acne on my face (I'm 34). I've tried a lot of products and they all seemed to make it worse, or not help. I decided to order some Argan Oil and try it out. I've been using it for about a week and already my skin is clearing up."
"I've been using the 100% Argan oil for about a month and it's completely changed the texture of my skin. I've suffered with eczema for about 20 years (could be more) and have tried everything that is supposed to help. Nothing has ever really worked– some products have masked the symptoms a bit and made the patches of dry, flaky skin not hurt as much, but I've never really had true relief. The 100% Argan Oil has worked! I really can't believe it. There is no sign of the eczema and my skin has never felt so soft, nourished, and beautiful."

Folston had already taken an unofficial visit to the school, but was able to get a much better tour of the campus and facilities when he took an official visit this past weekend. Folston's experience was good enough for him to commit to the school on Saturday night.
It's official.. I just commited #Pitt #h2p #pittpanther /p>— James Folston (@OfficialAthlete) December 14, 2013
"Shakir did a great job showing me around," Folston told PantherDigest.com. "They take you out to dinner a lot--that's for sure. I don't even remember the names of the places. It was really nice on Sunday. All the coaches, even Coach Chryst was there to see me before I left. It was a great visit."
Folston also said that the weather in Pitt wasn't a setback because, "When you're playing, you don't even think about the weather."
With Folston's commitment to Pitt, he became the fourth member of his immediate family to become a college athlete. His father, James Folston Sr., played football for Louisiana-Monroe and went on to have a nine-year NFL career with the Raiders and Cardinals.
His brother Tarean is a running back for Notre Dame and his sister, Jazzmine, signed a play track & field scholarshiop for TCU in February of this year.
With a family of athletes, Folston was able to get the instruction he needed over the summer to bulk up and land an offer from the Panthers. His high school coach, John Wilkinson, talked about the amount of work Folston put in over the summer:
"He played free safety in the spring and looked good, but he had a tremendous summer," Wilkinson said. "He was in the weight room every day, and worked out with his dad a lot and put on about 20 or 25 pounds of muscle."
Wilkinson said that Folston played at 170 pounds in 2012 and was primarily a receiver.
However for Pitt, it seems that Folston will be playing linebacker. He is just the second linebacker in the Panthers' 2014 class, and led his team with 107 tackles and two sacks during his senior season.

The Innocents Abroad is one of the most prominent and influential travel books ever written about Europe and the Holy Land. In it, the collision of the American "New Barbarians" and the European "Old World" provides much comic fodder for Mark Twain—and a remarkably perceptive lens on the human condition. Gleefully skewering the ethos of American tourism in Europe, Twain's lively satire ultimately reveals just what it is that defines cultural identity. As Twain himself points out, "Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." And Jane Jacobs observes in her Introduction, "If the reader is American, he may also find himself on a tour of his own psyche."
Jane Jacobs's books include The Nature of Economies and The Death and Life of Great American Cities, both of which are available in Modern Library clothbound editions. She lives in Toronto.
"A classic work . . . [that] marks a critical point in the development of our literature."—Leslie A. Fiedler
