Guilty plea from man who shot at police
A Beaumont man was sentenced to 20 years in prison Monday, July 15, for shooting at a Beaumont police officer after a brief chase in November 2011.
Joseph Matthew Brooks Dudley pleaded guilty to attempted capital murder Monday in Judge John Stevens' Criminal District Court. Dudley was implicated in at least two robberies in the days prior to shooting at police officer Michael Jones, who's close brush with death helped to implicate Dudley.
"That's the only time I've had to fire my firearm," Jones said after Dudley was sentenced. "I was two years on the force when that happened. Some officers go 30 years and never pull their gun or fire. Two years in, I'm having to."
As he stood in front of Judge Stevens, Dudley's defense begged the court for mercy, pointing to Dudley's troubled childhood. Dudley's defense argued he had been on the streets with his brother since he was 13 years old and was scarred by his mother, who was put on trial and later acquitted on charges of killing her husband, Dudley's stepfather. Dudley is now 19.
"Everything kind of went downhill from there," Dudley's defense argued.
While living on the streets, Dudley did whatever he could to survive, according to his defense.
"For basically a few years, they were living in abandoned homes and abandoned cars," Dudley's defense said. "During that time, they'd see a car door open and reach in and get something out, whether it be money or food, or whatever." Judge Stevens seemed empathetic, saying his court deals with defendants whose lives will be forever altered by irresponsible parenting. This did not excuse Dudley's actions, Stevens said.
"If the police officer had been killed, you'd be looking at two choices: life without parole or the death penalty, if you were found guilty," Stevens said. "That's how serious it is under the law to fire at a police officer, much less any- one, but a police officer represents all of us, including you. You shot at someone who was serving you."
Jones gave his account of the events that night after Dudley's sentencing, saying he had responded to an attempted auto burglary by someone in a vehicle matching the description of Dudley's near Virginia and Fourth streets.
"He heads to an area that he knows. ... After that, he bails out of the car. When he bails out, you can clearly see in the video he was brandishing a very large firearm (handgun). As he's getting out, the vehicle is still running," Jones said. "It actually dead-ends into a fence, and he makes it to the fence line and jumps the fence. I get out and give him clear commands, show me his hands. Of course, he's already on the other side of the fence. At that point he starts firing. So I just crouched down and started returning fire." Jones said Dudley fired at least six shots at the two-year officer, who said he returned fire at least three times.
Jones and other officers were familiar with Dudley, Jones said. "He's popular," Jones said. "I'll put it that way."
Having received only 20 years for a crime that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison or death should he be convicted, Jones said Dudley got off easy.
"With his kind of record and history and temperament, would I like to have seen more? Sure," Jones said. "I mean, he holds nothing against displaying a firearm and trying to shoot at a cop."
Prosecutor Pat Knauth said Officer Jones survived a brush with death after watching the dashcam video of the incident.
"You can see the gun go off. You can see the flashes," Knauth said. "Mike was lucky."
Dudley said he regretted his actions.
"My past is no excuse for the actions that I took, but I am remorseful for what I did," Dudley said to Stevens. "There's basically no excuse for what I did, and I take full responsibility."
After professing his remorse, Dudley was sentenced to the maximum under the plea agreement by Judge Stevens, 20 years in prison, along with another seven years for the two aggravated robberies in the days prior to the shooting. But immediately upon being sentenced, Dudley had a change of heart, requesting to withdraw his plea with the prospect of 20 years in prison.
"You're remorseful if you get what you want?" Knauth said aloud in court. "I see how it is."
Stevens emphatically denied Dudley's request to withdraw his plea as Dudley was led to prison.
Although he hopes to not have to use his weapon again, Jones said in his line of work, such actions might be inevitable. He said, in the end, officers must rely on their training and control their emotions when under fire.
"I was a lot more calm than I expected. You never know exactly what's going to happen until it happens. When it did happen, you build yourself up to expect these things because you sign up for a type of job and you know these things are going to happen," Jones said. "As long as you mentally pre- pare yourself for these types of situations, it's going to be not as stressful to have to deal with, knowing that you put your life out there. Every day you put the uniform on and step out there to do what you do, you put your life out on the line. There are people that hate you and definitely want to see the worst thing happen. As you seen in there, had those bullets hit me, he wouldn't have cared less."

Decency displayed: Havenstein's nice startEDITORIAL
April 17. 2014 11:52PM
In announcing his candidacy for governor, former BAE Systems CEO Walt Havenstein set a most welcome tone of decency in his race. How many will follow his example?
Politics has always been a nasty business. Today it is no nastier, though it might be more childish at times. Social media and 24-hour cable television have unleashed hordes of partisan bomb-throwers whose only objective is to do as much damage to their targets as possible. Honor? Decency? Those values are distant memories. The only value today is winning.
In political rhetoric, opponents are not Americans who disagree about what makes a just society and a good government. They are dark figures with shadowy connections and wicked designs they dare not speak. They are self-interested malefactors aflame with foul intent. Good men and women avoid electoral politics rather than subject themselves to the inevitable calumny.
So it was notable when Havenstein launched his candidacy for the corner office by saying this of the person he hopes to unseat this fall: "Governor Hassan is a good person…."
Havenstein has to know that he will receive no such treatment from the other side. Mitt Romney and Ovide LaMontagne said their opponents were good people, and in turn they were vilified as wicked men who wanted to inflict pain. Shortly after Havenstein's announcement, former state Democratic Party Chairman Kathy Sullivan tweeted that Havenstein "may not know women have the right to vote in NH." The New Hampshire Democratic Party tweeted that he "wants to unceremoniously rip health care away from 50,000 NHers."
And so we see how this race will go. Though he won't change the other side's behavior, he can take pride in the tone his own campaign sets.

All the videos with the tag Cuckolding Bareback.
Bareback means fucking without using a condom. "Bareback Wife Cuckold" means a cuckold wife that is fucking with a guy without a condom.
Bareback sex, as opposed to safe sex with condoms, poses an increased risk of STIs whether vaginally or anally, and an increased risk of pregnancy. This makes the decision of going bareback a huge step on the cuckold sex scene.
Nothing more hot to see at the end a wife having nice creampie made by another guy than her husband. For that, she has to be fucked bareback.
If you have any video with this kind of content don't forget to tagged with cuckolding bareback.
Sabine cuckolding bareback a big black cock. Hot to see her kissing her lover and riding his dick.

Rated 4 out of 5Āby 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5Āby Erinna Good enough for the price I think this crop is both good and bad. Good things:1. The fit (I am 5'1", 106 lb, XS fits great everywhere, except 2 inches longer than what I really need, but that's only because I am short). 2. Smooth, snug, flat...you name it. The best thing I want to say is NO C toe at all. 3. Design, color, look great! Bad side: the quality is not something you would expect like a Lululemon brand, not thick enough for a down dog. It is thin, or should I say cheap fabric feeling. However, it could be a good thing if you care more about being stretchy than being thick fabric feeling. Especailly if you don't really plan to wear these for yoga or gym, but casual or just running around, then get them, because they look good! May 1, 2013

July 13, 2010
My grandmother used to say, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Today represents a new day in our country's nearly three-decade-long struggle against AIDS. For the first time, we finally have a national plan in place to guide our fight against the epidemic and to hold decision-makers accountable for results.
America can do better. We must do better. This new strategy represents an important step in that direction.
"The new strategy provides a promising opportunity for us to get real about the shortcomings in our national response to the epidemic. While the government has long funded intensive HIV prevention programs for individuals, we as a country have invested relatively meager amounts in efforts to affect community norms and values to promote risk reduction. At a time when AIDS deaths are largely preventable, the government has provided only minimal leadership in making knowledge of HIV serostatus an essential social norm in the most heavily affected communities. And even though the face of AIDS in America is typically Black or brown, most people with HIV are forced to seek medical care from health providers who neither look like them nor understand the challenges they face. The new strategy provides a blueprint for changing some of these realities, and it is an opportunity we must energetically grasp.
We salute President Obama for placing Black America front and center in his national HIV/AIDS strategy. AIDS in America today is a Black disease. Accounting for only about 13% of the national population, Black people make up half of all new HIV diagnoses. The AIDS death rate among Black males is eight times higher than for white males, while Black women are 19 times as likely to die as whites.
If the new AIDS strategy is to succeed, it has to work for Black people. In reporting results, the Obama administration needs specifically to report outcomes for Black people. Only if prevention and treatment programs work for Black America will we win our national fight against AIDS.
Unfortunately, the new strategy does not sufficiently address the issue of resources. Already, we are seeing many AIDS drug assistance programs impose caps or waiting lists for life-saving drugs. There are over 3000 people on ADAP waiting lists. This month, the President authorized a one-time funding increase for ADAP of $25 million, but this amount, while welcome, represents only about 7% of amounts needed this year alone to ensure the program's continued solvency.
At a time when we are largely losing the fight to prevent new infections, prevention programs currently account for only 3% of federal AIDS spending. To put available prevention weapons to effective use, experts estimate that annual prevention spending needs to increase from $750 million to $1.3 billion for at least each of the next five years. This new strategy offers a sound, evidence-based approach to better results, but it will be worth little more than the paper it is written on if we don't follow through with essential resources.
In difficult economic times, it is often necessary to make painful choices. As a country, though, we need to transition from AIDS "spending" to AIDS "investments." By investing in cost-effective AIDS programs, we are investing in America's families and helping young people remain productive contributors to society for future decades.
President Obama deserves our thanks and gratitude for making good on his campaign promise to launch a national AIDS strategy. But the new strategy is only a step, not an end in itself. Now the hard work begins. Leadership matters. The plan must be effectively implemented. This is where leadership matters. The new strategy has no chance of success without the President personally leading the charge. President Obama and the first lady must personally participate in advocating for the new strategy and communicating the strategy to the American people. Affected communities and people living with HIV must join with government, industry, and philanthropy to ensure the strategy's success. And we all need to hold ourselves accountable for sharply reducing the number of new HIV infections and AIDS deaths. Achieving these outcomes will be the ultimate test of this strategy's success.

Question & Answer

"Can you write where the shirt are made, because the size of the T shirt change wherever they are make. Example the one made in Mexico for size large is too small and really are medium size in the US. I think they are made for Mexican size as large. The one made for Haiti large are too big as if they are size extra large, really made for Haiti size which is come as Black people. The one that I like is the one imade in Honduras large but most of the light colors are always sold out."
I ordered these for my husband and the tag says they're made in Haiti.
The shirts I received in my order where all made in Haiti.
The shirts I got were marked size Large, made in Honduras, 'Original Fit'. The fit for me is comfortably roomy. I use them for work and am not interested in a skin tight fit. It seems that Rene's question might be asking S.T.P. which of the three possible locations has made the shirts in question --- as a means of assessing the roominess before purchase. For me, extra room in a tee shirt is not a problem , but a too-tight shirt doesn't work. Hope that is helpful.
The most recent one we purchased was a light color and was made in Haiti. Most of the shirts we have purchased have been darker colors and were made in Honduras. It is true that they do not seem to be made the same exactly. The first Carhartt we bought was the best, with longer sleeves but was purchased several years ago. No matter where others have come from they do not have the "original" fit. Still, for my husband they all work OK. Some are better than others.
They are made in El Salvador. I normally wear a extra large . The large in these shirts are a little lose and the med are a little tight when in the lighter colors.In the black I wear a med which fits perfectly. Is'nt that messed up . All's I can say is fluck.
We have received multiple shipments of this item which is why we have a variety of locations listed for the manufacturing origin. It depends on the size and color ordered.
"How about the length in S and M size?
Thank you very much."
I've only had the 2XL and XL...and they are plenty long for me. But if you're really tall or otherwise concerned about it they make and sell "Big and Tall" versions as well.
I can only speak to a size small. From the highest point on the back of the shirt, measured from where the collar meets the shoulder, it is 30 inches.
The medium runs about an inch longer than the small.
"How long are the XL and 2XL shirts? Does the length shrink much after washing and drying as per the instructions?"
They are long enough to stay tucked in snd do not shrink ehen washing and drying. I wash and dry mine on hot.
I'm 6'5" and 265 lbs and the XL tall fit fine. They're loose fit. If you want Marlon Brando fit, go with L Tall. They DO NOT shrink! No matter how hot the water or dryer, they don't shrink! Should have bought more. They beat the hell outa JC Penney's pocket Ts.
Thank you for your replies. Going to order for my husband and son now!
They are fairly long....no plumber butt if you get the right size. I have never seen any shrinkage and very minimal fading in any of my Carhart Work T Shirts.
I'm 6'0 and 220lbs and the XL fits me perfectly. I didn't notice any shrinkage after washing them and I own several.
The XL's are pretty long and baggy. I usually take an XL but returned these for a large that fit much better. No shrinking on any of the Carhartt T-shirts I've washed.
I just measured a blue and a green tee. After weekly washings since early summer 2014 - warm wash/cold rinse, hot dryer - LAID FLAT to measure- the size LARGE measures: 30" center back length and 24" armpit to armpit.
Speaking to the size LARGE, it is a generous fit and EXCELLENT color retention, VERY MINIMAL shrinkage, and BEEFY QUALITY of the fabric.
From our experience, I would not order up in size to accommodate date shrinkage.
The return/exchange policy is FAB if you need it!
Carhartt's XL T-shirts fit like a 2XL in most other brands. I've got 23 of them and I've noticed no noticeable shrinkage. I promise you I would need a 2XL in anyone elses shirt. If you prefer a longer shirt tail they also come in a tall version.
I think they are plenty long and stay tucked. I am 6'1", 250# and I wear an XL in this shirt. I normally wear a 2xl in any other brand. They are definitely a size big.
The 2XLs I bought are wrapped up for Christmas for our son. Tthe 3XL's I got for my husband are 32" from neck to bottom and have not shrunk using warm wash and cold rinse, then putting in a dryer that has a moisture sensor. My husband loves them because of the sturdy pocket. Now that he is retired it is his "official" uniform.
My husband likes a long shirt as well, sometimes, when available we will buy a carhartt short sleeve button down tall for the length. I've never seen tall as an option on the tshirts. They wash and wear well, especially considering the price at Sierra Trading Post. They are marked irregular. Only one time in all the years I've bought his Carhartt tshirts from STP did irregular mean there was a defect I had noticed, it was a small hole they had repaired by stitching together. We use them mostly for working on a ranch or chores as such, he does tend to use the charcoal, dark brown, and black tshirts as dress up with shorts. They all wash and wear well. I hope that kinda answered ur question. I've never measured them when they come in and then wash and measure again. So I'm not sure how to answer length. My husband is 6' 3" and about 280lbs...he requires clothes to cover him in length...
I wear the L and XL pocket T's. No problem with length. I am 5' 10" stocky build. Never a problem with shrinkage either. They will fade a little after several washings. I use them for casual for a few washings then on to work wear till I wear them out. Very well pleased over the years.
"My husband is looking to by more carhartt t-shirts for work, He has two but the labels are worn out. They are heavy duty, they have a pocket and the sleeve goes to the elbow. He really likes these shirts because the sleeves go to the elbow. Is there a certain item number we need to look for in the tag to make sure when we order that we are getting a shirt that goes to the elbow."
These are Carhartt style k87 which I believe is what your husband has since the only other T-shirt with a pocket is a light weight T. The care tag that is on the side hem about at the waist should have K87 on it at the bottom of the tag.
"What makes these t-shirts seconds?"
2nds are items with barely perceptible blemishes or slight irregularities that do not affect fit, performance or longevity such as an error in the stitching or a slight fading of the product's color. Labels on 2nds are usually clipped or marked by the manufacturer, and 2nds are often offered at lower prices.
"My husband loves these shirts. He needs a 4XL Tall. Do you have this size?"
We do have 4XL available in most colors. Thanks for asking and have a good day.
"Do you have this in XLT3, XLT4, OR XLT2?"
Item #32682 may be what you are looking for.
"What is the cotton/polyester blend of the two colors not 100% cotton?"
Color 30 is 90% cotton and 10% polyester and color 41 is 99% cotton 1% polyester.
"Are these seconds? Are the k87 or k284 shirts?"
These are 2nds and are the K87.
There seconds, but you have to look close to see any flaws.
these are new shirts, but they were on sale for $11.99 each.
From the question posted, I am not sure about your specific issue but if it is fit and fabric weight/content I am unhappy with my latest Carhardtt purchases as well. The material is lighter weight than my older shirts and the fit seems tighter than a similarly sized older tee. I have probably gone through a 100 of their tees in 20 years and remember what amazing shirts they were. They are still better than a Hanes Beefy-T but I miss the made in USA product of past years. I am not just a grumpy old man but simply someone who has lived and worked in these shirts for a long, long time.
"I am looking for a comfortable, fast drying t shirt after washing it (for travel). There are two that are cotton/polyester and the others cotton. Does it matter which I order?|Along with this t shirt are there any economical t shirts that will do?"
You do not want to purchase any cotton item as they are not quick dry. You will want a shirt made out of polyester or nylon or a combination of both, but no cotton.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Keith Ward (1906-2000)
Keith Ward had a remarkable range of styles, from realistic to cartoony. I love how he managed to blend those qualities in his work when clients called for it. The result, like the refrigerator ad above, are so wonderfully appealing... its no surprise that Ward was in such high demand with advertising clients.
Initially, I noticed Ward's signature on a long series of ads for U.S. Steel. The look of these ads really is the epitome of that 1940's "Fun with Dick and Jane" style. And no wonder -- Keith Ward is the illustrator of the 1940 edition of the "Dick and Jane" book.
During the 50's it seems the Keith Ward was called upon more for his cartoon styles than his realistic ones. He did advertising art for Armstrong Tires,
Fram Oil Filters,
...and perhaps most famously for Borden, where his long series of ads featuring Elsie the Cow and her family are long-remembered and well loved.
Most surprising to me was finding this article Keith ward illustrated for Outdoor Life.
Here his style looks almost like Jack Davis... and perhaps reveals an element of the artist's true nature already hinted at by his other more commercial work.
Ward once said, "I have fun. There is that inner spark of excitement with each painting. I cannot imagine myself as being bored!"
Later in his life, Keith Ward did easel paintings of landscapes and portraits described as being "impressionistic". His later work is represented by The Stewart Galleries.
* All of today's images and several more can be found in my Keith Ward Flickr set.

Thanks for your nice pages, Leif! Keith Ward illustrated a large serie of signed ads featuring the "Rhino" character for Armstrong Tire & Rubber Co. Also I recommend to visit another nice blog where you will find a surprise linking Ward and the work of Walt Disney Studios on 70s. Ward was more than an inspiration! (see: http://willfinn.blogspot.com/2007/07/robin-hood-confidential-pt-2-keith.html).ReplyDelete
Continue to rescue memories, Leif!

Mask collectors know Keith Ward as the designer behind dozens of rubber Halloween masks produced by Topstone Industries in Danbury, CT, during the 1950s-1980s.ReplyDelete
Here is a link to a 1960 Topstone product catalog containing lots of Keith Ward llustrations:
And here is my collection of original Topstone masks.

I have a Keith Ward original painting. Mr. Ward was a guest in my mother-in-law's art class when she attended UNLV in the 80's. I now own the painting and am looking to sell it. Can you refer me to collectors whom would be interested?ReplyDelete
Thanks for this gathering of Keith Ward's work. I just found a copy of Elsie's Cook Book with his illustrations and went in search of his name. Elsie thanks him in the book's dedication: "And for Keith Ward, who has painted just oodles of pictures of me and my family, a big hug and a kiss — already delivered."ReplyDelete
My mom taught with Ward and I have several portraits that he did of me as a child. He told my parents that he became a commercial illustrator (not portrait artist) because he needed an income and real job.ReplyDelete

Hello I found this link when trying to research the illustrator of a large vintage "Linen" book of The Night Before Christmas. His illustrations are delightful in this Christmas Book and I am happy to know more about him. Thank You!ReplyDelete
p.s. I am enjoying everyone's comments as well. He touched alot of lives and definitely left his mark on the world!
Did this Keith Ward do the original illustrations for "The Black Stallion" books? They were fabulous and I'm trying to find out more.ReplyDelete
Keith and Peg Ward were close friends of my late in-laws when theyReplyDelete
lived in New Canaan, Ct. They were also very active in the New Canaan
Town Players.
I would like to researach the value of a painting Keith did for my father-in-law. The oil painting of a seascape is dated 1988 and was given
to my father-in-law on his 86th Birthday. I am hoiping to find a reliable
art appraiser who is familiar with his work. Many thanks.
If anyone knew Keith Ward during his time in Connecticut, I would like to talk to them. I am particularly interested in the period from the late 1940s through the early 1960s, when he was in the mask business.ReplyDelete

Isabelle Kelley (July 27, 1917 - November 29, 1997)
Kelley was born in Ellington. She was raised in Simsbury, Conn., and graduated from the University of Connecticut with a degree in agricultural economics, as stated by the Hartford Courant. During Kelley's 33-year career with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, she worked to improve the lives of children and low-income families, giving them increased access to proper nutrition. As the principal author of the 1964 Food Stamp Act and the Food Stamp Program's first director, Kelley shepherded an innovative initiative from its pilot stage into a full-fledged nationwide program that now serves over 40 million Americans.

Anticipated completion, November 2011
The Hawai'i Wildlife Center is a non-profit conservation organization which will operate Hawai'i's first wildlife recovery center when this building is completed in late 2011. Located in Halaula, North Kohala, on the Big Island of Hawai'i, the HWC is dedicated to the conservation and recovery of Hawai'i's vulnerable, too often endangered native wildlife through hands-on treatment, research, training, science education, and cultural programs. The new complex will consist of three integrated and sustainably designed components: a wildlife care and response facility, an interpretive and outreach lanai and native species garden, and an open-air education pavilion.

Fun, colorful cookies infused with cream cheese and rolled in rainbow sprinkles.
The sprinkles give them a bit of chewiness all around the outside edges and the cream cheese makes them soft in the middle and enhances their flavor.
Like sugar cookies dressed to the nines.
This certain farm market that I shop at always has rainbow sprinkle cookies. Naturally I'm drawn to them and even though I always want them I never buy them. Mostly because I prefer to make my own desserts.
I don't know why it took me so long to get around to recreating them when I've made goo-goo eyes at them sitting on the bakery shelf for years and years.
I'm pretty sure they're better than the store-bought kind. No, I'm positive they're better.
I've been wandering to the kitchen just to make goo-goo eyes at them.
Plus my face hurts from smiling so much. At them. {By the way, who smiles at a cookie?}
I'm such a weirdo. But who cares? I have rainbow sprinkle cookies.
All is right with the world.
- 1 + ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup (one 8-ounce package) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup rainbow sprinkles
- In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and butter on low speed until smooth about 1 minute. Add sugar gradually and mix until light and fluffy about 2 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add vanilla and egg. Beat to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Do not overmix. Chill batter 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add ½ the sprinkles to a wide shallow bowl (add more as needed). Scoop up rounded tablespoons of dough and form into balls - they don't have to be perfect - the dough is sticky - you can wet your hands lightly - drop into the sprinkles and coat all sides - set on baking sheet 2-inches apart.
- Bake 12-14 minutes until lightly golden on the bottom. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes then on wire racks.

CCU unresponsive
to customer inquiry
I am not a happy camper. The reason? I recently smelled like one just returned from weekend overnight in the Everglades in August. During the recent "boil water" crisis, I emailed CCU, posing the question if it was permissible to shower during the "boil water" advisory. I'm still awaiting a reply. Without an answer from the CCU authorities, I decided to throw caution to the wind and bathed. My logic, better to succumb to a bacterial infection than to lose lifelong friends and neighbors with smell sensitivities. Perhaps the CCU bean counters will, in the future, provide sufficient public-notice budget appropriations. This to keep all those affected in a water crisis as to what is going on, where, when, how and options. Can't find fault with CCU total inefficiency. My water bills arrive punctually each month.

Add to Cal
Join us each Saturday evening for a special version of Albucreepy designed for adults only. This unedited tour is for guests 21+ and includes a voucher redeemable for up to $5* at Back Alley Draft House (located next door to our starting location). The tour will have a strong focus on New Town Albuquerque's Red-Light District and prostitution history.
Beneath the towering office buildings and twinkling lights of modern downtown Albuquerque lurk the memories of public hangings, duels, horrific murders and locations haunted by those who have passed over to the other side. Tales of vengeful lovers, murdered soldiers and mysterious specters wait around every turn. What better way to experience Albuquerque's history than to possibly come face to face with a spirit from the past?
The 100-minute Albucreepy Downtown Ghost Walk will guide you past 1.3 miles of Albuquerque's dark side, including historic (and reportedly haunted) sites such as the KiMo Theater, old Bernalillo County Courthouse, the Wool Warehouse, the former red light district known as "Hell's Half Acre," and more. Albucreepy tour guides are experienced paranormal investigators.
As you walk, your guide will reveal vivid accounts of Albuquerque's most popular ghosts, explain methods used to detect paranormal activity, and discuss previous investigations at downtown locations. This is an interactive exploration of Albuquerque's haunted past and not a theatrical performance. While some tour participants have experienced unusual activity, we can't guarantee ghostly phenomena.
NOTE: The Albucreepy Downtown Ghost Walk - Red-Light Edition is rated R due to its creepy and adult subject matter. The Albucreepy Downtown Ghost Walk features the exterior of the locations; there will not be access to the inside of any private businesses. Tour is taken at your own risk.
*can be used toward food or drink. No change given. Expires 12/31/17.
The map below illustrates just some of the brothels in Downtown Albuquerque (New Town) between 1880-1914.

BOSTON — Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk returned to active duty tonight after a 10-game absence due to a broken forearm.
He logged 18:20 of ice time, including 1:11 of power-play time, and registered three shots on net. But he recorded just one hit, and that didn't come until the third period of Boston's 4-0 win at TD Garden against Florida winger David Booth.
"The first couple shifts were a little bit nerve-wracking, but I just wanted to keep it simple and I guess, well not the first shift because they carried the puck all the way up," he said. "I felt good, but a little bit rusty. I've just got to get used to playing again. It was a good game for me to get back in it."
As far as any pain, Boychuk said he was fine.
"No, nothing at all. It's my right hand so it was fine when I pushed the guy," he said. "My left hand is already strong enough as it is right now, so it didn't really matter."

GENEVA (AP) — Say what?
Something got lost in translation between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday — and it served to illustrate the level of distrust in U.S.-Russian relations.
It happened when the two diplomats delivered opening statements before their high-stakes talks about how to inventory and dismantle Syria's chemical weapons.
As their joint appearance ended, Kerry asked a Russian translator to repeat the end of Lavrov's remarks, saying his headset had cut out briefly.
When it was clear that Kerry wasn't going to get an immediate retranslation, Lavrov tried to assure him that he hadn't missed anything controversial.
"It was OK, John, don't worry," Lavrov said.
"You want me to take your word for it?" Kerry said. "It's a little early for that."
At least they were still smiling.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio's unemployment rate has dropped slightly to 7 percent after three consecutive months of holding steady at the same rate.
The state Department of Job and Family Services said Friday that seasonally adjusted joblessness in Ohio was 7 percent in September, down from 7.2 percent in August.
The state's unemployment rate remains below the national rate of 7.8 percent.
The number of unemployed Ohio workers fell by about 7,000, from 413,000 in August to 406,000 last month. The state's non-farm payrolls decreased by 12,800 compared with August's figures.
Ohio saw job gains of more than 1,500 in professional and businesses services last month, while manufacturing lost about 6,400 jobs.
Friday's update on job numbers was the last that the swing state's voters will see before the Nov. 6 election.

Trad Home is the fantastic new online magazine published by Traditional Home.
A big thank you to Courtney Barnes- aka Style Court – for including me in her article for the premier issue of Trad Home. She asked me about object-driven design and creating personal spaces for clients. This is an important aspect of the design process and building good client relationships. Right now I am working on a project where we going to incorporate much of the couples travel photography onto a gallery wall in their family room. I have a quilt that my great-grandmother made at the end of our bed, and I love having personal touches in my house as well. Meaningful art, family heirlooms, and treasured possessions are all elements that make a house feel like a home.
Lucky me to be included in the article with the talented Angie Hranowsky.
What's important to you in your house? I hope you enjoy the article!

After installing the Application Server and starting a domain, you can deploy (install) J2EE applications and modules. During deployment and as the application is changed, an application or module can go through the following stages:
Initial Deployment
Before deploying an application or module, start the domain.
Deploy (install) an application or module to a specific stand-alone server instance or cluster. Because applications and modules are packaged in archive files, specify the archive file name during deployment. The default is to deploy to the default server instance server.
If you deploy to server instances or clusters, the application or module exists in the domain's central repository and is referenced by any clusters or server instances you deployed to as targets.
You can also deploy to the domain using the asadmin deploy command, not the Admin Console. If you deploy the application or module only to the domain, it exists in the domain's central repository, but no server instances or clusters reference it until you add references, as explained in The Deployment Life Cycle.
Deployment is dynamic: you don't need to restart the server instance after deploying application or module for applications to be available. If you do restart, all deployed applications and modules are still deployed and available.
Enabling or Disabling
By default, a deployed application or module is enabled, which means that it is runnable and can be accessed by clients if it has been deployed to an accessible server instance or cluster. To prevent access, disable the application or module. A disabled application or module is not uninstalled from the domain and can be easily enabled after deployment.
Adding or Deleting Targets for a Deployed Application or Module
Once deployed, the application or module exists in the central repository and can be referenced by a number of server instances and/or clusters. Initially, the server instances or clusters you deployed to as targets reference the application or module.
To change which server instances and clusters reference an application or module after it is deployed, change an application or module's targets using the Admin Console, or change the application references using the asadmin tool. Because the application itself is stored in the central repository, adding or deleting targets adds or deletes the same version of an application on different targets. However, an application deployed to more than one target can be enabled on one and disabled on another, so even if an application is referenced by a target, it is not available to users unless it is enabled on that target.
To replace a deployed application or module, redeploy it. Redeploying automatically undeploys the previously deployed application or module and replaces it with the new one.
When redeploying through the Admin Console, the redeployed application or module is deployed to the domain, and all stand-alone or clustered server instances that reference it automatically receive the new version if dynamic reconfiguration is enabled. If using the asadmin deploy command to redeploy, specify domain as the target.
For production environments, use rolling upgrade, which upgrades application without interruption in service. For more information, see "About Rolling Upgrades."
To uninstall an application or module, undeploy it.

RSF (Reporters without Borders) reported this just before Sarawak's state elections… more like slamming the Government's abuse of Internet freedom.
Malaysiakini (nice to be accessible again by the way) highlighted today the Freedom House which is supported by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF), reported Malaysia as "partly free" in terms of Internet freedom.
Geez…. if they were impressed with the use of Internet, wait til they see how Jibby's Apco team has brilliantly planned the use of media, courts and police.
RPK's dance with TV3 wasn't a tat bit too coincidential in terms of timing and content??
The "omega watch" was such a HOT ITEM during Sarawak campaign and now "not an issue, as we are only investigating the screening not the people involved" twist by the PDRM…. common! So now they will convict the Datuk T trio for porn and say it's not Anwar after all??? brilliant no???
Since when has the script writers been so good? APCO deserves the big PMO's $$ allocation.
The International recognition should include screenplay award at Cannes or something… but the cinematography and acting still cannot make it lah.

His first career was in the British Army. His distinguished army service included participation in the British army's last cavalry charge. His second career was in journalism, a field in which he achieved overnight celebrity as a war correspondent.
He wrote his first book in 1897 at age 24 and wrote 50 more. The books make out a literary career of incomparable breadth and distinction. They comprise works of fiction, biography, autobiography, history, oratory and journalism that earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. (He also deserved the Nobel Prize for Peace, but that's a story for another day.)
We should probably not forget that in the period between his first book and the Nobel Prize for Literature he saved the world. Never have so many owed so much to one man.
Over the past few months I have been rereading Churchill biographies focusing on the period of the 1930's, of which William Manchester's The Last Lion: Alone: 1932-40 seems to me preeminent. The great virtue of Manchester's biography is its account of the life and times — its placement of Churchill in the context of the political and cultural currents against which he contended so tenaciously, so unsuccessfully, so heroically. Churchill's opposition to the leaders of his own party as an isolated backbencher from 1932 to 1939, set off against our knowledge of his ultimate vindication and subsequent glory, must rank as one of the most dramatic stories of all time.
In rereading the Manchester biography and other volumes (such as Martin Gilbert's) devoted to the period, one cannot avoid noticing Churchill's greatness of character. He was an extraordinarily magnanimous man. He almost never allowed his frustrations and disappointments over the struggles of the day to be vented in a personal way, although the gentlemen against whom he contended never reciprocated. They treated him with small-minded contempt.
The single most striking exception to this general rule is Churchill's comments on Stanley Baldwin, although I believe that Churchill did not indulge himself while Baldwin was alive. He reserved his frank evaluation of Baldwin until Baldwin's death. The reason for Churhchill's low opinion of Baldwin deserves an essay to itself and fortunately Richard Langworth has written it: "How Churchill Saw Others: Stanley Baldwin."
Asked his advice on what should be done with Baldwin's corpse, Churchill replied, "Embalm, cremate and bury. Take no chances." But the comment that initially drew my attention to Churchill's opinion of Baldwin was this one: "It would have been much better had he never lived." Langworth shows, as you might expect, that much of the history of the British policy of appeasement can be drawn out of the story of Churchill's estimate of Baldwin.
All of this is only a digression to note the following. The public disgrace of the BBC in the Hutton Inquiry has not to my knowledge occasioned the kind of historical examination of the BBC that it deserves. The Churchill biographies note mostly in passing that the BBC systematically barred Churchill from discussing his defense and foreign policy views during the 1930's; Sir John Reith was head of the BBC at the time. Manchester states that "Reith saw to it that [Churchill] was seldom heard over the BBC…" Reith wrote of Churchill in Reith's monumentally voluminous diaries, "I absolutely hate him."
In 1938 Churchill was scheduled to appear on the BBC for a half-hour talk — on the Mediterranean. When the Czech crisis erupted, Manchester reports, Churchill asked that the program be cancelled. On the Saturday before Parliament's debate on the Munich Agreement, Churchill agreed nevertheless to meet with (future Communist spy) Guy Burgess of the BBC. Churchill complained to Burgess, according to Burgess's recollection, that "he had been very badly treated in the matter of political broadcasts and that he was always muzzled by the BBC."
Why did Reith detest Churchill? In Reith's eyes, Churchill was of course a warmonger, and Reith, not coincidentally, held Hitler in the highest regard. How little times have changed.

After leaving UCLA in early April, former four-star prospect Aaron Porter will transfer to Washington State.
Originally signed as a linebacker in 2012, Porter never played in a game for the Bruins — converting to fullback after falling down the depth chart. He was not enrolled for spring quarter and seemed unlikely to return to a team that played 18 true freshmen over him last season.
Cougfan.com first reported the news.

Foxconn takes to the cloud with US$63m
Apple's go-to factory guys get heavy with data
Apple's Taiwanese gadget manufacturer Foxconn is moving into cloud computing, announcing that it will invest $US63.3 million over the next five years, in at least two cloud computing facilities.
The Taiwanese Ministry of Economic Affairs, Export Processing Zone confirmed that a cloud technology center and a software research and development site would be constructed in the Kaohsiung Software Technology Park. The Kaohsiung cloud technology center is scheduled to begin construction on December 1 and will be completed in two to three years, the government said.
The Kaohsiung Software Technology Park is part of a government push to transform Taiwan's second largest city as a regional technology hub. The cloud command centre aims to employ 3,000 software engineers and house three distinct centers: a cloud computing center to be equipped with an internally developed container data centre; a software development centre focusing on cloud computing, and a digital content, security monitoring, and environmental protection; and a technological innovation incubation centre.
Shen Jung-chin, head of the Export Processing Zone Administration, said that Foxconn's presence in the Kaohsiung Software Technology Park is expected to act as a magnet to attract more high tech companies.
Around 200 technology firms have set up shop in the burgeoning Taiwanese Silicon Valley. ®

I've had an A200 for the last 3 years and have enjoyed most things about it. Although one thing I hate is the grain at high ISO.. with mine I find anything over ISO400 gives noticeable grain.. which is a real shame.
So I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the newer A33, 55 or 580 have the same issue? I'm thinking about upgrading and these are the 3 models currently on my radar.
I have also been thinking of ditching the Sony and converting to a Canon or Nikon.. I hear they don't have this problem. This is a last resort I guess.

1990: "In Search of Excellence"
Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard
January 17, 1990
One hundred seventy-five years ago, your predecessors in the territorial assembly petitioned Congress for statehood, and began the long effort to build a society in what had been wilderness. I come today to report on the state of that society's judiciary. I want principally to talk about the quality of what Indiana's courts are trying to do, but I have to start by telling you about the record-breaking year my colleagues and I had.
The highlights of that record-breaking year were these:
- The Court of Appeals completed more cases than in any year in its history.
- The Supreme Court completed more cases than in any year in its history.
- The Supreme Court decided more cases than it received for the fourth year in a row.
- The average time people waited for a decision from the Supreme Court was reduced by 30%.
- The criminal appeals backlog in the Supreme Court was cut by 40%.
- Judge George Hoffman completed his 2000th opinion; and Justice Richard Givan authored more opinions than anyone in the history of the Court, breaking my record, and writing more cases himself than all seven members of the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
The Promise of Proposition Two
Many of you will recall that in 1985 both houses of the legislature adopted bills adding judges to the Supreme Court to deal with the criminal caseload. Justice Givan suggested that you reduce the mandatory criminal jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and add judges to the Court of Appeals instead. You ultimately sent to the voters a constitutional amendment, Proposition Two, to give the Supreme Court time for the civil issues that bring most people to court--employment problems, divorces, child custody and support, accidents--for which there was little time before. The promise of Proposition Two has been kept. The Court decided 42 civil transfer cases last year, another record, and more than twice the number we had been deciding.
This record-breaking pace of civil cases featured many issues important to the people of our State. One leading case resolved the applicability of the statute of repose to hundreds of pending asbestos claims. Covalt v. Carey-Canada. Two others were the first to apply the comparative fault act you adopted in 1985. Cornell Harbison Excavating v. May; Boles v. Tatum.
It was an important year for the environment. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the procedures the legislature created to protect the archaeological history of Indiana, DNR v. Indiana Coal Council, and affirmed the enforcement of the measures you provided to protect fishing in Lake Michigan. State ex rel. Ralston v. Lake Superior Court.
We construed for the first time the Open Door Law, deciding that a sheriff's disciplinary hearing must be open to the public and that the deliberation of the merit board need not be. Berry I and II. We also affirmed the rule that a person may not be fired from a public job solely due to exercising free speech. Department of Highways v. Dixon.
The Court of Appeals issued a landmark decision on the rights of a child born as the result of the rape of a retarded patient. Crowe v. Forum Group. It also concluded a case of national significance on the First Amendment, reporters, and grand juries. Heltzel v. State. Finally, the Supreme Court decided more cases involving families and children than ever before, giving better guidance on divorce settlements, custody decisions, child support, and juvenile law.
We also initiated the broadest set of rule reforms in two decades, including an entirely new set of rules to speed up death penalty cases. We set in motion an initiative on judicial ethics, including a new committee of the Judicial Conference, which should report late this year on proposals to improve the Code of Judicial Conduct.
We also authorized the Indiana Public Defender to represent juvenile status offenders placed in adult jails contrary to statute. The broad effort of which the Public Defender has been a part has in six months reduced dramatically the number of juveniles being placed in adult jails in violation of Indiana law.
A Reputation for Excellence
Beyond the significance of the cases being litigated in Indiana courts, I want to report that there is reason to believe that Indiana judges are building a reputation of excellence and leadership for our state. The leading educational institution for American judges, the National Judicial College, has made Indiana trial judges a substantial part of its faculty. Judges Lorenzo Arredondo and Jim Richards of Lake County, Judges Sally Gray and William Vaughn of Putnam County, and Judge Betty Barteau of Indianapolis are leading faculty members at the College. Indeed, Judge Barteau chairs the College's faculty council. And George Glass, director of the Indiana Judicial Center, was recently asked to teach other judicial educators about Indiana's system of continuing legal education for judges.
Judge Linda Chezem is a confidant and adviser to William Bennett, the nation's drug czar, and one need only open the National Drug Strategy to see that Judge Chezem is one of its crafters. Judge Stanley Miller was recently asked by the U.S. Department of Justice to lecture nationally about the problems AIDS presents in our courts. Judge William Garrard became the first Indiana judge accepted for post-graduate work at the University of Virginia. Judge Sue Shields has been asked to assist the American Bar Association in accrediting law schools. Judge Richard McIntyre has been designated to lead a model project, one of five in the nation, to design coordinated services for juveniles. Judge Gerald Zore is about to be elected to a leadership position in the National Conference of State Trial Judges. Justice Roger DeBruler was quoted this year in an opinion by the Supreme Court of the United States.
I mention these signs of excellence to emphasize that Indiana needs judges who both move the caseload and preside with compassion and intellect. We need judges who attend to the simplest eviction in small claims court and also contribute to the advancement of the law in this country. There are many good examples of both in 1989.
Five Leading Initiatives
We set in motion or completed this year five major initiatives at your direction. First, we established the Office of Guardian Ad Litem/Court Appointed Special Advocates and began providing financial and technical assistance for local programs to help children in need of services.
Second, the Judicial Conference finished your assignment to issue guidelines for the operation of probation departments and rules for the training and compensation of probation officers. The probation system is the leading alternative to incarceration for first and non-violent offenders. It handles seven times as many criminals each year as the Department of Correction houses, and probation is under siege for many of the same reasons that plague the Department of Correction. Inattention to salaries and working conditions has caused turnover that requires us to replace and re-train nearly a fifth of all probation officers each year. I ask for your consideration of Senate Bill 49, sponsored by Senator Pease, which would provide counties with some assistance for the probation system.
Third, we finally connected Indiana to the national network on probation. Thanks to legislation carried by Representative Dennis Avery, Indiana may now send and supervise probationers across state lines. Until last year, 49 states were singing from the same hymnal and only Indiana was not.
Fourth, the Supreme Court issued state-wide Child Support Guidelines. As you know, Congress required every state to adopt guidelines by statute or court rule. The Supreme Court thought this was arguably either legislative or judicial and informed legislators interested in the subject that we would certainly defer to a statute but would issue a rule to assure that Indiana complied with federal law if no statute was forthcoming. The relevant committees of the legislature eventually decided they preferred a court rule, and we issued one in September. The conscious objective of the new guidelines is that Indiana's child support payments should be neither the highest nor the lowest, but rather close to the national average.
Fifth, Governor Bayh and I each completed our appointments to the new Indiana Public Defender Commission and it will hold its first meeting this month. I expect that the Commission will soon assist us in distributing the funds you provided to help counties pay the tremendous costs of death penalty cases and that this time next year I will be able to report the adoption of standards to assure adequate legal representation in such cases.
Equal Opportunity
I also want to tell you about progress in making more room for women and minorities in the judiciary. The Supreme Court is doing a better job using its appointment powers to assure wider participation. We are increasingly using talented black and Hispanic lawyers as special judges and Supreme Court hearing officers. We appointed a second woman to the Disciplinary Commission for the first time in its history. The initiatives on which I have just reported gave us the chance to add some talented women and minority professionals to the Supreme Court's permanent.staff.
Governor Bayh's appointments to the bench in 1989 brought both the number of women judges and the number of black judges to an all-time high. You should know that the general caliber of the people Governor Bayh has appointed is excellent. They will be an important part of his legacy as Governor.
Crisis in the Court of Appeals
While it is my job to convey to you the good things that have happened during the year, it is also my duty today to sound a serious alarm.
Chief Judge Ratliff reported last week that while the judges of the Court of Appeals were completing cases at a record rate, the Court fell behind for the first time in a decade. It is now clear that the time people will have to wait for a decision will get longer with each passing month.
I believe there are three reasons for this explosion. First, prolonged economic expansion has generated regular increases in litigation. Second, the war on drugs produces more arrests, more prisoners, and more appeals. Every time there is a major drug bust, you can count the number of people under arrest and make a pretty good guess about how many appeals have just been created. Third, the decision in 1985 not to add justices to the Supreme Court but rather to amend the Constitution and expand the Court of Appeals is unfinished business that must now be completed.
Although I describe this deluge using numbers, these cases are not mere numbers. They are personal matters, important to individual people. People like the Muncie man whose probation was revoked and who sat in jail until the Court of Appeals decided that his probation should not have been revoked.
People like a 3-year-old named Ashley in Indianapolis-who waited six months while her divorced parents appealed the issue of whether she would live with her father in Indianapolis or her mother in Germany. People like the Classroom Teachers Association in Highland, who could not complete collective bargaining with the school board until an appeal resolved a dispute about the scope of the issues which could be bargained.
Because people like these and thousands of others will soon begin to ask all of us why it all takes so long, I urge you to add three judges to the Court of Appeals by passing House Bill 1070, sponsored by Representatives Villalpando, Cochran, Donaldson and Musselman. I recognize there are forces at work that make such legislation difficult. They include finding about $670,000 in a difficult year. They include getting over the natural reluctance some might feel about giving a governor from the other party new judicial appointments.
These are hurdles we have to overcome. I want to thank the House Ways and Means Committee for doing just that last evening. Thank you to Chairman Bauer and Kiely for giving this bill a hearing, and thank you-to all the members of the Committee for passing this bill out with a unanimous vote. Please pass this bill, not for Evan Bayh or for me or for the Court of Appeals. Pass it for the people you represent, like the ones I have described for whom justice delayed can be justice denied.
When I came before you this time last year, many had just cause to wonder about the state of the judiciary. I promised you then that we would make it through 1989 in a productive and professional way. A year later, I think we have proven that Indiana's courts were open for business, that the state's judges worked tirelessly and thoughtfully, and that the people could enter Indiana's courtrooms with confidence in the search for "Equal Justice Under Law."

Notes from a day in baseball:
• 1. Haven't Native Americans Suffered Enough? At this point we've got to think that Boston's season is scripted. The Red Sox came through with more game-ending dramatics on Wednesday — and no, David Ortiz wasn't involved — in a 6-5 win over the shellshocked Indians. Mark Loretta doubled with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth off of Fausto Carmona; Boston's third last at-bat victory in five games. The Yankees also won, leaving the teams pretty much tied for first in the AL East.
• 2. Weird Day In HittingstreakLand. Chase Utley wasn't even supposed to get a fifth at-bat, but the Cardinals kindly obliged him in the ninth, and he came through with a single to extend his hitting streak to 34 games. The Phillies took a 16-8 win; you'll never guess who was pitching for St. Louis. Officially, though, Utley kept the streak alive in the eighth, as the official scorer changed his grounder from an error to an infield single.
• 3. San Diego Continues To Sink Like A Bag Of Anvils. The Astros won consecutive games for the first time in almost a month, behind Craig Biggio's two homers, beating the Padres 7-1. Roger Clemens, of course, can't understand why some of those runs aren't for him.
• 4. But I Don't Wanna Be A Pirate! The Twins' first losing homestand of the season came courtesy of Kip Wells, who at this time last week was toiling for Pittsburgh. In his first start for the Rangers, Wells went five-plus, giving up one run, in his team's 10-2 win.
• 5. All Your Mark Kotsay News, When It Happens. Mark Kotsay's eighth-inning single drove in the eventual winning run as the Athletics took a 3-2 win over the Angels, Oakland opening a 1 1/2-game lead in an AL West. It was the 15th one-run decision in 31 meetings between the teams over the past two seasons. But the fun is only beginning: They play seven of their final 10 games against each other, including a season-ending four-game set in Anaheim.
