The constable had just expended $25 in repairs upon the buggy and Mr. Lemker told him he could keep it but he would take the horse and harness. This was satisfactory, and the horse is now in Mr. Lemker's possession.

- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Blakesburg attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Group: Michelle Obama's Spain trip cost taxpayers $467k
Published: 2:12 PM 04/26/2012
*** begin quote ***
It cost taxpayers nearly a half-million dollars for first lady Michelle Obama to travel to Spain in 2010, according to an analysis by Judicial Watch.
The right-leaning watchdog group estimated that the trip cost $467,585. It based its analysis on documents obtained from the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Air Force.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said it took his group "two years and a lawsuit to get these documents out of the Obama administration."
"It is hypocritical for President Obama to fire GSA officials for wasteful conference spending, while his family went on a luxury vacation in the Costa del Sol Spain that cost taxpayers nearly half a million dollars," Fitton said.
*** end quote ***
And, the liberals, left slanted media, and the Hollywood comedians pictured Bush41 and Bush43 as "out of touch".
That cartoon of Michelle Obama as Marie Antoinette was exactly right!
"Let them eat cake!"

Hola Chicas,
Sorry for leaving y'all hanging yesterday...
Henna Gloss Purpose: A henna gloss is used when you want subtle color change along with deep conditioning. It's easier to apply because of the wonderful slip provided by the conditioner, much easier to rinse, and leaves your hair smooth and soft, as opposed to crackily and dry after a straight or full strength henna treatment.
Yesterday I called it a mild henna, but I'd like to retract that. I started thinking... it would be considered a mild henna if I used less henna and more conditioner. My mix was 50/50... so I guess I did more of a Conditioning Henna Treatment! Remember that the property in henna that dyes the hair red, is the same one that conditions, strengthens, defizzes, and smooths. Mixing in 1 or 2 tablespoons of henna (into a cup or two of conditioner) will give you very little color change, but you'll also miss out on the full effects of henna's conditioning powers... so you'll have to make that call yourself. This would be a great option for two types of folks:
1. Those of you that want to see what the hype is about, without making the color commitment. Just be sure to strand test, and to modify my recipe. You should mix 1-2 tablespoons of henna directly into your conditioner (not allowing for dye release) and only leave-in for 20-30 minutes. Henna is strong, so ALWAYS strand test... the red will creep up on ya quick!
2. Faithful henna'ers that want to experience soft, smooth results upon rinsing. It's truly amazing! My 50/50 mix left me with similar dye release, color uptake (I was surprised), strengthening, and smoothing. I'm impressed.
What You'll Need:
- BAQ Henna (at least 100g)
- A light, protein free conditioner-- Many users across the web like the Generic Matrix Biolage Balm from Sallys.
My Henna Gloss Instructions:
- Mix your henna as you would for a regular, full strength treatment. I added 100g of Jamila henna to 1.5 cups (I never measure... I just get it to the consistency of cake batter) of warm green tea. I usually use 2 or 3 tea bags.
- I sealed off the container and let it sit for a few hours... only because I was feeling lazy. In the future, I will probably go right into the next step.
- Mix in 1 cup of conditioner. I used Tresemme Naturals conditioner. Next time though, I will probably buy the Generic Biolage Balm conditioner because it is much thicker. Either that, or use less liquid to mix my henna. It was a little too runny for my liking.
- Apply to damp and detangled hair in sections. Then don a plastic baggy, cotton balls or tissue rolled up near your ears to catch drippies, and a scarf to cover the ugly mess, lol.
- Leave in for the desired amount of time. Remember, the shorter (15-30 minutes), the less dye uptake... so less red, but also less conditioning. I left mine in overnight, which is why I'm referring to it as a Conditioning Henna Treatment. I got the full benefits of henna with the added bonus of a moisturizing DT!
- Dunk your head in the tub to wash away most of the mix. Hop in the shower and rinse away the rest using a cheapy, slippery conditioner. It rinses very easily, and you could probably skip the tub dunking :)
- Apply a Deep Treatment
- Rinse, and style as usual. I did my typical Twist-n-Curl and flat twisted the roots. This new modification (the flat twisting) has done AMAZING things! My waves/curls are much more consistent.
1. Modify my recipe and leave it in for less time if you want only a subtle color change. If you want the full benefits of color and henna's conditioning powers, leave in for at least 4 hours (I leave mine in overnight).
2. Use a cheapy conditioner free of protein, and preferably free of cones.
3. If you're trying my mix, use the least amount of tea possible... too much and you'll have an annoying runny mess.
Later Gators,

Some children get supper at school
The first night Barry Mollengarden served supper to the students at Ellsworth Avenue School in Danbury, about 15 of the kids cheered. They were so happy.
"When I went home that night, I was on cloud nine," said Mollengarden, general manager of the Sodexo School Lunch program for the Danbury Public Schools.
It was the first supper prepared for students who attend an after-school program.
Like the breakfast and school lunch programs, the supper program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which reimburses schools for the cost of the meals.
Danbury is among about a dozen cities in the state that offers the supper program, which is available to schools and other community groups meet certain criteria, like the number of low-income children and the existence of an after-school education program.
At Ellsworth, 79 percent of the kindergarten to fifth-graders are eligible for free or reduced-priced lunch, one of the highest percentages in the city's 18 schools.
This school is among three in the district that uses a federal grant to provide a fee-based after-school program that provides homework help, field trips and a fitness program, as well as evening parent education programs.
"This has been so good in the first week," said Marlene Hoyen, the after-school program manager. "Yesterday, we had 78 of our 130 kids eat supper."
"The program is offered five days a week and is a pilot in this school," said Anne Mead, administrator of early Childhood Education and Extended Learning Programs for the Danbury schools.
"This says the need is there for families to have more meals."
The Connecticut No Kid Hungry Campaign, a public-private coalition working to eliminate child hunger in the state, helps schools and cities sign up for the program.
"This was started nationally as a pilot in three or four states and was made available to all states nationally two years ago," Shannon Robins, program manager of the Connecticut No Kind Hungry Campaign, said Friday.
"Connecticut is in the third wave of participants, and the program has picked up steam in the state in the last year or so."
Hartford, East Hartford, Vernon and New Britain are among the school districts that have the program. Middletown will be starting soon.
