April is for art. And wind. And rain.
What's most interesting about this being my seventh year is that my first year was almost my last. The weather was crazy and my tent exploded in a downdraft. I refer to the explosion as the 'tent incident' and share the tale with other artists setting up for the Dogwood Arts Festival Art Fair for the first time. I don't do it to scare, just to educate on the dangers of wind. An article appropriately titled, 'Festival faces twists and turns', appeared in the Knoxville News Sentinel on Saturday, April 12 2008 in which I said "Yeah, the weather's bad, but we've been able to work with it." and as if in spite of this comment my tent incident occurred late Saturday afternoon. The tent incident prompted my husband, Allan, to go into research mode to find out what sort of tent would withstand the crazy weather in East Tennessee. This research resulted in us obtaining what I now refer to as the "mondo artist tent" shown below. We asked the guys picking up the trash if they would take the busted up tent away and they did! We did; however, keep the broom sticks we used to hold the busted tent together.
It's certainly a sturdy tent. And it is pretty too. And it is very good at keeping the rain out. Like in 2011 when it rained really hard and everyone left early, except for me and Allan. Because we were the only ones who stuck around, we got on the WATE news that night. You wouldn't believe how many friends saw the report and texted me that evening. And the next day people searched me out just to say they saw me on the news. The moral here is to never leave early. Unless there is a hurricane warning and then it is probably a good idea to vacate.
Back to the wind. There was another year when the wind was a problem for Sassy Glass Studio. Take a peek at this fantastic post from Moxley-Carmichael's 'The Blue Streak' back in 2010 about how the Dogwood Arts Festival has improved and has real art. {A side note: it really was bad for a few years. Shew!} Anyway, shortly after Cynthia Moxley photographed the gorgeous blue art panel in the photo above, it blew over onto the ground and broke. Crazy wind strikes again!
This is the last wind story I promise. The first few years I exhibited at the Dogwood Festival Art Fair people would ask why I didn't have anything with dogwoods. So after years of being asked, I finally made some fused glass vases, plates and pendants. I should have known there was trouble brewing when I created these pieces. First of all it was difficult to figure out how to make a realistic looking dogwood from glass and second, I wondered if they would actually sell. Well, they didn't sell. But only because they never had a chance. I had a great display right at the front of my booth so everyone would see the pieces. This was also the perfect place for the wind to catch the table, lift it off the ground and slam it down. Yes, the glass broke. I lost most of the dogwood pieces. And that was the end of creating fused glass dogwood art for me.
So, as you can see, April is a month filled with art and wind and rain. But don't let the weather keep you from coming out to the Dogwood Art Festival events this year and checking out all of the fabulous art. We artists are a hardy bunch and we'll be there rain or shine. Or wind.
There are still a few more days to celebrate!
March is National Craft Month and there are three ways you can celebrate in Sassy Style! Find our more in this post. This is the only opportunity this year to save on fused glass classes!

Established in 1969, CCM's BFA Musical Theatre program is the oldest in the country and was the first of its kind. The National Association of Schools of Theatre used CCM's program in formulating the guidelines for accreditation of Musical Theatre programs nationwide.
The CCM Admissions office recommends for students to apply by November 1 to ensure an audition date for the Musical Theatre program. The audition consists of three sections: dance, vocal and acting. They are held in Cincinnati in December, January and February. Additional auditions are held in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles as part of the Unified Theatre Auditions in February.
For more information on CCM's audition process click here or visit ccm.uc.edu/admissions/auditions.
The Musical Theatre program at CCM is widely recognized for its "triple-threat" approach to training. Many of CCM's Musical Theatre graduates are following careers as performers and creative artists in every facet of the entertainment industry — from the stage to the screen and behind-the-scenes.
In the video below, current students and alumni discuss their experiences in the program and give advice to young artists thinking of pursuing a career in Musical Theatre.
"Don't be scared to pursue your dreams...If you really love theatre and you really love art, then this is a great place to come." - Donelvan Thigpen, Class of 2018

WASHINGTON COUNTY - St. Thomas' Episcopal Church doesn't tally the same kind of numbers as some taverns or clubs through the sale of tip jars.
But its modest profit still allows the Hancock church to reach out to those in need.
St. Thomas' sold $3,365 in tip jars in fiscal year 2006, resulting in a profit of $778. That was among the lowest profit on a lengthy list of establishments, clubs and organizations that sell tip jars.
Tip jars are part of the church's occasional basket bingo events.
The church uses some of the money for outreach programs such as Christmas for Others, which includes a party and gifts for less fortunate families, said the Rev. Allan Weatherholt, the church's rector.
"It really does help the fundraising effort," Weatherholt said. "It's obviously very helpful to the church's income."
For the county as a whole, tip jar gambling remains a thriving business.

tony browne | ENGLAND | 09/28/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Now that we've reached the c.d. & computer age--hoorah!!!!You know what?.....we're becoming cushioned, sterile, spoilt & directionless!!Roy Harper knew this in the late 60's .If you're looking for challenge ,truth honesty, love & great,great music, this album is for you.It's a beautiful c.d.!I had the old vinyl way ,way back(1973), i've seen Roy Harper live more times than i can remember, and he will ALWAYS be one of the GREATS of the recording studio, with an acoustic guitar style like no other!!"Valentine! followed the EPIC "Lifemask" album, & contrasted beautifully.It begins with the ever so memorable "Forbidden fruit" ,a love song for a teenage girl,check out the lyrics ,as in all Harper songs-they're amazing!This became ,in most part, an acoustic-guitar exercise for Mr. Harper,altho' in parts, this album really rocks!!Songs like "Male chauvinist pig blues"....what can you say-whoever wrote songs like this??Beautiful ,wonderfully played acoustic guitar!The song "12 hours of sunset" is my favourite here,it's gotta be one of my favourite songs-ever!!"Che" -the acoustic guitar instrumental, dedicated , ofcourse to a certain Revolutionary, stills sounds awesome ,all these years later!And so it goes on--this c.d. is a wonderful addition to anyone's music collection-Roy Harper....surely one of Rock's greatest geniuses!!"Valentine" is one amazing album!!!The great thing , too, is that Roy is still in the process of musicmaking(i'm told a new album is being costructed!!For an artist/musician to attract such talents as most of the Pink Floyd group AND Led Zeppelin, there's got to be some reason,folks ,for this amazing fact!Check out & purchase Roy Harper on c.d.-this is true genius!!!"
Great collection of love songs
Elliot Knapp | Seattle, Washington United States | 12/01/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
""Valentine," released on Valentine's Day in 1974, is a collection of then new and old love songs by Roy Harper, inimitable British singer-songwriter. The album opens with fingerstyle guitar in the surreal "Forbidden Fruit." "MCP Blues" rocks the hardest on the album, and is one of the only non-acoustic songs. "I'll See You Again" is as touching a song as Roy has ever written, highlighted by orchestral flourishes. "Twelve Hours of Sunset" is a beautiful song about a plane ride across the Atlantic. It includes some phased-out guitar and gorgeous, soaring, layered vocals. "Acapulco Gold" is jazzy, a departure for Roy. "Commune," a favorite opener for Roy's live shows, is another beautiful song with more of his signature guitar licks. Included are "North Country," Roy's version of a traditional folk song made famous by Bob Dylan, and "Forever," an earlier Harper song (first heard on Roy's debut, Sophisticated Beggar) that gets production attention here to sound the best it ever has. This album is an EXCELLENT collection of songs--though it's not as cohesive as Roy's masterpiece Stormcock, it's probably more accessible to most listeners, and has more individual songs. Throughout the album are well-crafted melodies, deep, personal lyrics, and varied themes. Recommended if you like David Gray, Van Morrison, acoustic Dylan, acoustic Pink Floyd, and folk music. After this album, check out Stormcock, and Lifemask."
A masterpiece from a master
Martin G. Walker | Brooklyn, NY USA | 07/07/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"As always with Roy Harper, when you sit down to listen to this album you have to prepare yourself to hear songs that seem to have been written forever, because they are so right and true, and yet seem impossibly original. "I'll See You Again," sounds as old as the hills, but who else could have written this song? As bitter as dark chocolate, Roy tells us the story of a relationship that couldn't work. It is a real relationship, not a "made for music" relationship. With caustic economy the singer tells us "I wanted to share, but you couldn't be there with me [...]" and a couple of lines later "[to] milk his frustration and get his submission and weep and wear black when he's gone." (There's a recent loving and respectful cover of this particular song on this new release - nylon)
Roy has always been hooked in to the political and cultural scenes and some of the material has dated a little because of that, but one can't go wrong with Harper, there are always the eternal gems to enjoy."

Home Inspection After One Year
We just had our home inspected. Those of you who have been following along more than a year might be questioning that move. "Didn't you buy a house last year this time, PT?" As a matter of fact we did. So why are we just now getting it inspected? Well, because we bought a new-construction home with a one-year builder's warranty. We decided that it would be best to trust the city/county inspections and builder reputation, then have our home inspected just prior to the end of the first-year warranty period.
It worked out well for us. We found our inspector through the recommendation of a neighbor. The inspection cost us $250. Well worth the price, in my opinion. Not only did the inspector make us aware of a all safety and cosmetic changes that needed to be made, but he gave us the confidence and knowledge going forward that we have a safe and working home.
A couple of items our inspector found that you might want to review in your own home:
- Automatic Garage Door Pre-Install Lock – Every automatic garage door comes with a manual slide lock that can be used to secure the door prior to the motor being installed. If the automatic garage door is activated with the lock slid into place, the whole door will rip apart, as the lock isn't strong enough to hold both sides of the door down. I didn't even know this lock was there, and would likely have slid it into place at some point upon noticing it. One forgetful moment could then turn into a severely damaged garage door.
- Missing Anti-Tip Device for Oven – All new ovens come with an anti-tip device that prevents the oven from tipping over if someone were to step on the open door. This device has to be installed properly though. If you have kids, you know how tempted they could be to step up on the open oven door and reach for something on the stove top. This device will prevent the oven from tipping and should be properly installed.
These are just a couple of the items the inspector noted. Once he provided the report of corrections needed to be made, we turned in the list to the builder who got to work correcting all the issues.
Typical Home Inspections
The most common time to have a home inspected for existing homes is right before the purchase. It's also common now to make an offer on a home, with the condition that the home be inspected. Any big issues can negate the offer.
If you are working with a realtor, they will likely refer you to a licensed home inspector. It's probably a good idea to review your inspector against the following professional organizations:
- American Society of Home Inspectors
- National Association of Home Inspectors
Those sites are also good for learning what a home inspection actually does and does not cover, which is important to know.
If your inspector is not a member of one of the national organizations then they need to at least be licensed as a professional in your state. Here in Texas that's handled by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). The inspector we used is licensed under the TREC as a "professional inspector".

Important Things to Consider When Moving
Changing residences can be one of the biggest events most families go through together. Proper planning and research can help make the moving experience exciting and hassle free. St. Louis is a great location for families and young professionals alike and St. Louis Prudential Select Properties has everything necessary to find the perfect home no matter what the circumstances. Here are some important things to keep in mind throughout the moving process in order to insure a smooth and successful move to a new home.
Try not to move during the summer. This is the busiest time of year for most moving companies which means prices are higher and scheduling availability is at a yearly low. The reason is most families with school age children choose to move during the summer months in order to not split the academic year between the two locations. The other main factor the summer months so busy is the timing of military relocations. Most braches of the military choose to relocate their members during the summer months making up a fair percentage of moving traffic. It will be much cheaper and easier to hire a moving service for a move to St. Louis during the spring, fall, or winter.
Mentally adjusting beforehand can make the move much more enjoyable, especially for children. Planning out the moving process well in advance of the scheduled date will allow everyone involved to get comfortable and excited about the idea of living somewhere new. Plans can be made for a fresh start in the home which will be moved into.
Research should be done on the new area in order to figure out whether or not there are good schools and community groups available. If children will be attending a new school it is worth making sure it is the best fit prior to making a housing decision. For young professionals with no children yet figuring out whether or not there is an active community which will be easy to assimilate into can make the difference between a successful move and a decision which will be regretted.
Calculate the commute from the new residence to a place of work, the grocery store, or the school site. This should be calculated at the time when the commute would occur to obtain the most accurate estimate. This can be one of the biggest factors in quality of life when living in a new area and is one of the easiest to overlook during the moving process.
With these tips at hand the moving process can be a huge success for all involved. In order to browse homes in the St. Louis area, be sure to check www.discoverstl.com to find the perfect home. One a residence has been chosen put these tips to action and enjoy the move.

As an ardent champion of free speech, I should be thrilled about today's U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Yet, I'm feeling sad and deflated.
The court ruled Wednesday that the First Amendment protects the Westboro Baptist Church, which protested at the funeral of a U.S. Marine killed in Iraq with offensive picket signs (Thank God for Dead Soldiers, God Hates You) and a blistering online attack on the church's website against his parents. The soldier's father had sued the church for intentionally inflicting emotional distress and was initially awarded $5 million in damages; but that verdict was thrown out and upheld by the high court.
See, that's the really crappy thing about the First Amendment ...
If you say you are a proponent of constitutionally protected free speech, then sometimes you have to tolerate despicable people like Fred Phelps and his church saying horrible, hurtful things at really inappropriate times. There's just no other way around it.
In this case, the court ruled in the church's favor because it argued that even though the protests occurred at an individual's funeral, they were aimed at the government (against the war) and not private citizens. Here's Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote for the court, explaining how far the First Amendment goes in protecting offensive speech:
As a nation we have chosen ... to protect even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate ... That choice requires that we shield Westboro from tort liability for its picketing in this case.
And, I agree with him.
That's not to say I condone the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church -- absolutely not. They were distasteful and disrespectful a million times over. But our anger should be focused solely on the church's hurtful message -- and not its right to publicize that message.
Because any attempt to silence a group protesting the government -- no matter how hateful and harassing they are -- is an attempt to erode our right to free speech as a whole. We may not like it, but we have to accept it, especially if we call ourselves proponents of free speech.
Do you think the First Amendment should protect offensive speech?

Self-made millionaires are four times more likely than the rest of the population to be dyslexic.
It is real. It is amazing. Those with dyslexia change our world. It should be fully recognized.
We want our future thinkers to be "progressive", individual and well-educated; we must then reflect this within our culture and policies.
Congress is taking steps in this direction. They need to know if their constituents support an educational environment and direction which recognizes the gifts of all learners. Let them know.

World Champion Michael Conlon is the final Irish boxer out of the Olympics without a medal. He believes it's a result of corruption. Boxing has never run what you might call an open book on how it makes decisions.
And it has long been a medal banker (16 since 1924) for Team Ireland. Now it's not, the slack has already been taken up by a couple of rowing brothers from Skibbereen and a heroic woman sailor from Dublin.
Other bright spots include Irish Hockey, which having long subsisted in the shadow of GB put in a great show. Efforts to keep hockey's best players at home is starting to pay off. Sailing too is moving in the right direction.
But the limitations remain obvious. Northern Irish sailors Ryan Seaton and Matt McGovern had to put out an appeal for funding just to get them to Rio, and are now set to compete in the Men's 49er medal race.
The fact that Team Ireland is transnational in character should be positive. As one retired Irish athlete put it to Slugger, it usually means NI has more Olympic medals than GB (or indeed Ireland).
It also (in most, if not all cases) facilitates real choice, whether in giving the English-born diver Oliver Dingley a second chance, or an individual opportunity to represent their favoured nation at the very highest level.
Yet there's gap growing between the increasingly professionalised way that TeamGB hunts new talent then funds and facilitates it, with Ireland's more 'have a go' coaching approach to the development of elite sports.
It's sobering to think that just twenty years ago Ireland pipped the UK in the overall medal table (albeit courtesy of three swimming golds that have never been properly accounted for).
TeamGB picked up just one Gold that year, so they didn't take much beating. Yet almost all of GB's huge success since can be measured from that moment of national humiliation and the resolve which followed.
As we have seen in the more limited example of Irish Rugby, organisation and a scientific and professional approach to recruitment and training can make all the difference to a team's fortunes.
Ireland's latent talent base cannot emerge until Irish athletes are enabled to compete on an even playing field. In the UK that's meant money and commitment (even benefiting the GAA in Northern Ireland).
The length of that commitment shows in a medal table in which Team UK look certain to improve on both their Bejing and London tallies, whilst Ireland looks set to fall from its 2012 high of six.
Ireland cannot conjure facilities on the scale of GB/UK. Arguably 1996 was an aberration on both sides. Denmark is a better comparator. Yet it can and must learn from GB's tremendous and inspiring example.
The trouble is that Ireland's never really properly 'owned' the Olympics. That may be a result of its many historical conflicts which saw competing bodies run separate teams in the 1948 games.
As a result, it's been left to the corinthian efforts of boxers (and its sailors and rowers) and their often impoverished clubs to make the effort individually.
Fair play to Sport NI for helping to get Seaton and McGovern to Rio in the end, but shouldn't such cooperation be a matter of policy? Where's the north-south sports body? And who is calling for such a move?
Pulling like a dog is old Ireland all over. Most of its early athletic success came in throwing heavy weights about the place. Isn't it time to take sport, and ourselves, more seriously? Time to open minds and the purse.
As one Irish-born Welsh friend put it, science and team working have made British cycling the new German soccer. Time to open Irish minds to new methods, ways of learning and co-operation, and the public purse.

Botches follow botches
Error-strewn case costs millions
February 23 - 25, 2003By MIKE NORTON
Record-Eagle staff writer
GAYLORD - It began with a mystery that has never been solved and a question that has never been satisfactorily answered.
On a winter morning in 1986, the frozen body of 31-year-old oilfield worker Jerry Tobias was discovered in the back of his pickup truck on a quiet Gaylord street. There was blood on his body, and it appeared his hands had been bound with a pair of jumper cables. At an autopsy performed the next day, the Otsego County medical examiner decided Tobias had been struck in the head by a blunt instrument of some kind.
The police wasted no time in pursuing the incident. Before the week was out, they raided a butcher shop owned by Waters resident Laurie Moore and seized a metal skewer used for roasting chicken, which the medical examiner identified as the probable murder weapon. Moore was arrested in what the authorities began calling "a drug deal gone wrong."
But instead of solving the mystery of Jerry Tobias' death, the arrest of Laurie Moore was only the beginning of a 17-year ordeal that deepened the confusion.
Since 1986, the Tobias case has absorbed millions of taxpayer dollars. Suspects were arrested, prosecuted and jailed, only to be freed when the evidence against them turned out to have been fabricated. Police and prosecutors have been accused of serious violations of ethics. And the case itself remains a convoluted web of official misconduct, perjury and outright craziness.
At the center of that web is the strange and enigmatic figure of Debra Parmentier, also known as Debra Herrick or Brieanna Herrick, the witness whose testimony eventually sent four men to prison for the Tobias murder, and who disappeared into the Utah desert in 1995 after confessing that it had all been an elaborate lie. Parmentier was arrested in January by federal agents near Salt Lake City before being brought back to Gaylord earlier this month to face perjury charges.
If it can be believed, her testimony may finally answer some of the most troubling questions about the behavior of police and prosecutors who allegedly encouraged her perjury, intimidated other witnesses and withheld or destroyed evidence that contradicted her story.
But it may never answer the central question: Who, if anyone, killed Jerry Tobias?
Police were certain they knew the answer to that question in 1986. They had long suspected the existence of a drug ring that was using the Gaylord area as a central distribution point for large amounts of cocaine and other illegal drugs, and they were certain Moore had killed Tobias during a drug-related disagreement. Those suspicions seemed confirmed when laboratory tests showed a large amount of cocaine in Tobias' body.
Second-degree murder charges were filed against Moore by Otsego County Prosecutor Norman Hayes, who had known Moore from high school. In fact, Moore had married Hayes' former girlfriend, a fact that was later stressed by defense attorneys in the case.
That is when Debra Parmentier first entered the picture - although no one paid much attention at the time. About a month after Moore's arrest, Parmentier met with an investigator from the prosecutor's office and told him that she had witnessed the murder and could implicate several other people in the killing. She also told a series of wild stories about international drug smuggling, gun-running and the theft of weapons from the Michigan National Guard armory at Camp Grayling.
The investigator decided Parmentier's testimony was unbelievable, especially after seeing psychological evaluations that showed she had a history of lying and of mental illness. Her story was ignored.
It didn't seem necessary, anyway. In November of 1987, Laurie Moore was convicted of involuntary manslaughter before Cheboygan Circuit Judge Robert Livo - even though defense attorney Dean Robb tried to argue that Tobias had simply frozen to death after passing out from a drug overdose. Moore was sentenced to seven to 15 years in prison.
Case closed? Not really.
Three months later, four jurors in the case announced that they wished to change their votes. They revealed that 10 members of the 12-member jury had wanted to acquit Moore and had only gone along with a guilty verdict after they were falsely informed that a hung jury would harm Moore's chances for a new trial. It was the first sign that something was seriously wrong about the entire Tobias case, and would eventually lead to Moore's release from prison in 1991.
But in the meantime, investigators were once again listening to Debra Parmentier, who told them that she and another woman named Sherry Payton had actually been in Moore's butcher shop and had seen the murder. She implicated Moore's brother Walter "Terry" Moore and two other local men, Mark Canter and Donald Heistand, as participants in the killing. She also said a fourth man, Doug Brinkman, helped them load Tobias into the back of the pickup.
Police immediately took Parmentier into protective custody and had her make taped telephone calls to Terry Moore in an unsuccessful attempt to provoke him into revealing information about the case. In April of 1988, relying almost entirely on Parmentier's statements, Hayes filed charges against Terry Moore, Canter, Heistand and Brinkman. As police said at the time, none of the four "were Boy Scouts," and the announcement met with little surprise.
Terry Moore was convicted of second-degree murder - even though defense attorney Michael Hackett produced evidence that Parmentier had a history of mental instability and lying. Several months later, Canter was convicted of aiding and abetting in the murder, entirely on the testimony of Parmentier and Sherry Payton. Both men were sentenced to life in prison. Heistand and Brinkman, offered a chance at reduced sentences, confessed to lesser charges.
And that, it seemed, was the end of the story. A dangerous crew of murderous drug dealers and thugs had been put away, thanks to the efforts of hard-working police, an aggressive prosecutor and a courageous public-spirited witness. Now at last, the case could really be closed.
Instead, it slowly began to unravel.
Since Terry Moore was out of money and no local lawyers were interested in taking his case, the court appointed former Grand Traverse County prosecutor Stuart Hubbell to handle his appeal. Hubbell, a shrewd and well-connected attorney, immediately smelled a rat. He began talking to Gaylord attorney Ray MacNeil, who was representing Canter, and they were able to persuade the Michigan Attorney General's office to investigate the case.
The attorneys' investigation led them to prosecution witness Sherry Payton, who had begun having second thoughts about her testimony. She told them that she had never seen any murder, but had been forced to corroborate Debra Parmentier's story by a Michigan State Police officer who told her she would go to jail and never see her newborn baby if she refused to go along.
Armed with Payton's new testimony, the state Court of Appeals ordered Judge Alton Davis to consider possible new evidence in the Canter case, but after several days of testimony, Davis decided there was not enough new evidence to justify a new trial.
Meanwhile, prosecutor Hayes decided to look for a new job. In November of 1990 he was elected to the newly created second judgeship in the 87th District Court.
In March of 1991, Laurie Moore's original conviction was overturned by the Court of Appeals, which ruled that Judge Robert Livo's instructions to the jury were incorrect. One member of the three-judge panel went even farther; he issued a scathing denunciation of police - and of Hayes in particular - charging the newly elected judge with "severe and reprehensible prosecutorial misconduct" and of pursuing Moore in a spirit of personal vindictiveness.
Hayes had known Moore from high school. In fact, Moore had married Hayes' former girlfriend.
Finally, after three years behind bars, Laurie Moore was a free man. So were Douglas Brinkman and Donald Heistand, who had served their sentences and were back on the street.
But Terry Moore and Mark Canter were still in prison, and their attorneys began redoubling efforts to have their convictions overturned. By early 1992, Hubbell persuaded the Michigan Supreme Court to appoint him as a "one-man grand jury" with unprecedented powers to gather information about the way police and prosecutors handled evidence in the case.
Hubbell, now joined by fellow Traverse City attorney J. Bruce Donaldson, immediately began to uncover more signs of wrongdoing. When the Court of Appeals ordered Canter's case returned to the circuit court - with specific instructions to find out if his rights had been violated - the whole sorry mess was exposed to public view. A box filled with evidence about Parmentier's instability and unreliability - evidence that had never been revealed to defense attorneys - was suddenly discovered at the state police post in Gaylord.
By this time Parmentier had moved to Utah, gotten married and changed her name to Debra (sometimes Brieanna) Herrick. Police found her and brought her back to Gaylord for a series of hearings in the summer of 1993. Although she refused to retract her story, parts of it began to look less and less believable.
Three of her former boyfriends, for instance, took the stand to testify that Parmentier had hired them to shoot into two homes where she was staying in order to boost her credibility and persuade police that her life was in danger.
Other facts emerged. She had committed crimes while under protective custody, faked her own kidnapping and carried on a sexual relationship with one of the officers assigned to guard her.
What's more, defense attorneys presented evidence showing that she had been "thoroughly coached" for her testimony by someone who provided her with court transcripts and newspaper clippings about the case.
And her former roommate, Cynthia Glesen Steele, revealed that Parmentier had actually been at home the night she was supposedly witnessing the Tobias murder. Steele said Parmentier later persuaded her to tell police she was gone that weekend, and even had her change her diary to reflect the official story.
Unfortunately for Canter and Moore, the hearings ended suddenly when the presiding judge was overheard making a derogatory remark about one of the witnesses. They resumed again in February 1994, but were almost immediately suspended again when Hubbell developed serious health problems.
By May, however, Judge Porter agreed to consolidate Canter's and Moore's appeals into a single case. In June he ordered Parmentier arrested on perjury charges.
Debra Parmentier still had a trick or two up her sleeve. In March of 1995, she jumped bond and disappeared from view, leaving behind a 129-page statement in which she recanted most of her previous testimony, admitted that she had lied and said she had been extensively coached by police.
Moreover, she said, the police themselves threatened her with prosecution when she tried to retract her earlier statements. She said that police said she might find herself being prosecuted for the Tobias death, which police had labeled a "drug deal gone wrong."
The damage to the prosecution's case was impossible to ignore. In January 1996 former 46th Circuit Court Judge William Porter ordered new trials for Mark Canter and Walter "Terry" Moore, whose brother Laurie earlier was convicted and later exonerated in the Tobias death. Two days later, after spending eight years behind bars, Canter and Terry Moore were released from prison to await a decision from prosecutor Norman Hayes' successor, Kevin Hesselink.
Hesselink tried to bring charges against the two a second time, but the court ruled that Parmentier's testimony was no longer admissible and the charges were dismissed once and for all.
But the aftershocks weren't over. In 1999, Terry Moore and Canter filed a civil suit against Otsego County, the State of Michigan, a number of state police officers (Lt. John Hardy, Sgt. Fred LaBarge, Detective Sgt. Douglas Wilt, Trooper Kenneth Bur and Detective Sgt. Carl Goeman) and private investigator Charles Rettstadt, who were involved in gathering the evidence that was used against them.
Last year the county agreed to pay Canter and Moore $2.75 million in compensation in an out-of-court settlement, and they received another $1.25 million from the State of Michigan.
Donald Heistand, who served 25 months of a three- to five-year sentence for aiding and abetting the murder and now lives in the Detroit area, has a similar case pending in federal court. In his suit, he says police coerced him into entering a no contest plea to the Tobias murder.
Doug Brinkman, who allegedly helped dispose of the body, never managed to stay permanently out of trouble and is back behind bars on a parole violation.
Many of the police investigators involved in the case have retired by now.
Defense attorney Bruce Donaldson died in 1998, and an aging Stuart Hubbell has passed much of the remaining work on the Tobias case to his son Daniel Hubbell.
Judge Hayes is still serving, now as a probate judge in Antrim County.
And prosecutor Kevin Hesselink said he remains convinced, in spite of everything, that the prosecution really did put the right men in prison and that they should still be there.
August 17, 2003Silence Trumps Justice
Terry Moore asked the question a lot of people would like answered some 16 years, three murder trials, three overturned convictions and a slew of civil cases after the fact: "Why isn't the state going after them?"
The "them" Moore was referring to are the state police detectives and Otsego County law enforcement officials - including former prosecutor Norm Hayes -who took part in the shameful circus that was, and still is, the Jerry Tobias murder case.
The occasion was a hearing at which state attorney general officials and a judge accepted a guilty plea from Debra Parmentier, the star witness in the Tobias case, who was facing a host of perjury charges related to her testimony.
By accepting the plea, Attorney General Mike Cox effectively shut the door on what appears to be the last best chance that the truth, or some version of it at least, would come out.
There still remains a federal wrongful prosecution civil suit filed by Tobias defendant Donald Heistand at which Parmentier is scheduled to testify, but it's unlikely Parmentier will tell her story there.
Similar suits filed by Moore and fellow former defendant Mark Canter against state police detectives and the county were settled out of court, and there's no reason to believe that the Heistand case won't be, either.
Parmentier's guilty plea can be seen as an affirmation of the claims made by Moore and Canter, who spent nearly eight years in prison on murder charges before Parmentier's testimony against them was determined to be unreliable.
At the time, lawyers for the two men said Hayes, now Antrim County probate judge, and state police detectives coerced Parmentier into lying, withheld medical records concerning her and reports of criminal activity she was said to be involved in during the trials. A box full of Tobias case evidence that was never released to the defense team turned up at the Gaylord State Police post after the fact.
Hayes has always maintained he did nothing wrong, as have state police officers and Otsego County deputies. But Hayes has never testified in court about the case, and the suits against the state police and Otsego County were settled before they could get to trial.
The silence on the part of county and state officials about this case has been deafening. By settling the earlier cases out of court and, now, by accepting Parmentier's guilty plea without a trial, county and state officials have ensured that the silence would continue.
That's not justice.
People want to know if a former prosecutor withheld evidence and manipulated a witness. They want to know if state police detectives who had to believe Parmentier was lying never spoke up. They want to know why three men - Moore, Canter and Moore's brother, Laurie Moore - went to prison for murder only to be released. They want to know why Heistand and Doug Brinkman did time on lesser charges they now refute. They want some answers.
And somewhere, the family of Jerry Tobias, a 31-year-old oilfield worker, wants to know how he came to be found frozen in the back of his pickup truck in December of 1986, who did that to him and why those people aren't in prison.
Many, many questions. And, largely because county and state officials want it that way, very few answers.

Alhamdullilah, five brothers from San Francisco left to visit the Muslim community in Lima, Peru for the purpose of spreading Islam. We had no idea if there were any masjids or even if we would encounter any Muslims at all. We were a bit apprehensive but put our trust in Allah that everything would go well. One of the brothers amongst us was fluent in Spanish and was used as a mouth-piece in translating and talking to the local people.
Mosque of Lima, Peru
We arrived in Lima, Peru around 6:30pm and immediately offered our Asr prayers. We then looked for a Muslim-sounding name in the local phone book at the airport. To our surprise the person who answered the phone was the person in charge of the mosque in Lima, Peru. His name was Saeed and insisted on picking us at the airport. We told him that we would take a taxi. We were so happy and relieved to find out that there was a masjid. The masjid, which was a huge house with twelve rooms, was donated by an Arab brother. We arrived at the masjid and were greeted by Saeed, a Palestinian who had been living in Peru for the last 45 years and Juan, the masjid caretaker. They had prepared tea and fruits for us.
Peru is a gigantic country of well over 24 million people. In the capital city of Lima, there are approximately 400 Muslims. Most of the Muslims in Peru are originally a mix of Palestinians and Syrians who left their homelands searching for a better economic life for their families. Evidently, they found what they were searching for because the majority of the Muslim brothers in Peru are industrious and financially well-off. However, due to the lack of practicing their religion, these brothers have secularly been away from Islam and their children are either non-Muslim or Muslims by name only. Overall, the people are very nice, good hearted and hospitable but they have fundamentally segregated themselves from Islam. Unfortunately, many Muslims have even adopted the local traditions and religion.
One of the first Muslims we visited in Peru was brother Issa, the President of the masjid. He was sick when we visited him so we offered him some Zamzam water. He immediately felt better. We were invited to many Muslim houses and received such nice hospitality. Some Muslim brothers came from remote areas and as far away as a 2-hour flight from Tacna (located near Chile) to see us. More than 20 Pakistani brothers there are involved in the car business and their wives, masha-Allah, are very conservative and observe the Hijab.
Mosque Bab ul Islam, Tacna, Peru
At Jumha prayers, the talks are usually bilingual in both Arabic and Spanish. It was directly after Jumha salat that 3 brothers in Lima had embraced Islam, Alhamdullilah. Many of the Muslim brothers in Peru related their stories to us on how they outlived the many difficulties in their life and on how Allah protected and directed them to Islam. Many of these brothers had wholeheartedly made their intentions for continuing the effort of spreading Islam. The qualities of good Muslims so undeniably shine.
We had a visit from one man named Khalid who came and told us his early life story. He also had several questions to ask us. He seemed to be an Arab but had an unfortunate incident of being separated from his family. It was amazing how Allah (swt) protected him. After a few meetings with us learning about Islam, he decided that he wanted to become Muslim. (See Khalid's story.)
Mosque Bab ul Islam, Tacna, Peru
Another Peruvian brother stated that the country of Peru is emerging from Dunya (worldly pleasures) and thus fertile for Islam. In addition, there were a few Peruvian ladies who embraced Islam and said that they liked what Islam offers women in today's modern life.
On the other hand, the Muslims who migrated to Peru for the sake of worldly pleasures are now so engrossed in seeking fortunes to such an extent that there is no difference between the Muslims and non-Muslims. Unfortunately, many of our brothers in Peru who were originally of Palestinian and Syrian descent have blended in well enough in the pursuit of fortune to the point that they have lost their Islamic identity. They no longer are practicing Muslims and as a result, their children are now being raised as non-Muslims. This is a very big lesson for all of us. Allah has said in the Quran:
"And those who strive in Our (cause), -We will certainly guide them to Our paths, for verily Allah is with those who do right." (Quran 29:69)
On our final day in Peru, the local brothers cooked an outdoor lunch for us. Many of the non-Muslim neighbors who had seen our gathering decided to stop by and join us. Alhamdullilah, all went well and enjoyable. We really had a very rewarding experience in Peru. The Muslim brothers were sad to see us leave. Our final day was made even more special when before leaving, four Peruvian men who had joined our lunch decided to become Muslims. Alhamdullilah.

About: Lucky Yuckies were Western vending machine figures released in the mid-80's that were bootlegs of the Japanese keshi toy line Gegege No Kitarō.
Is it possible that the bootleg version of Gegege No Kitarō manages to be wackier than the original? I think so.

They may be each others nemisis on the badminton court, but off it Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei are the best of friends, as evident when they met outside their hotel at Wembley Plaza.
At the request of this blogger, they posed for pictures and had a 10 minute conversation, both looking confidently into each others eyes.
The topic of the conversation was not badminton.
For Lin Dan was showing Chong Wei his latest watch,that costs lmost RM300,000. And the Malaysian was awed.
"It is a nice watch and it is also very expensive. We talked about our passion for watches and never did we touch on the competition," said Chong Wei.
"We do not discuss badminton and he did not ask about my recovery. Its a question of mutual respect I suppose."

My Hoover SteamVac has been doing a wonderful job but in two instances, after emptying the dirty water and reattaching the reservoir, the machine has lost suction. The first time I was able to make it work again after taking it apart and putting it back together about 10 times. I don't know what I did that fixed it but as long as it worked again, I was happy. But it's happened again and I can't get it to vacuum. I can see that it isn't clogged. Can you please help me????

Wiring Diagram
Circuit Description
The PCM has the ability to detect a misfire by monitoring the 3X reference and camshaft position input signals from the Ignition Control Module. The PCM monitors crankshaft speed variations (reference period differences) to determine if a misfire is occurring. If 2% or more of all cylinder firing events are misfires, emission levels may exceed mandated standards The PCM determines misfire level based on the number of misfire events monitored during a 200 engine revolution test sample. The PCM continuously tracks 16 consecutive 200 revolution test samples. If 11 or more misfires are detected during any 5 of the 16 samples, DTC P0300 will set. If the misfire is large enough to cause possible three-way catalytic converter damage, DTC P0300 may set during the first 200 revolution sample in which the misfire was detected. In the case of a catalyst damaging misfire, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will flash to alert the vehicle operator of the potential of catalyst damage.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), Throttle Position (TP) sensor, MAP sensor, ECT sensor, Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, or MAF sensor DTC(s) set.
Engine speed between 450 and 5800 rpm.
System voltage between 9 and 16 volts.
The ECT indicates an engine temperature between 6 C (21.2 F) and 120 C (248 F).
Throttle angle steady.
The PCM is detecting a crankshaft rpm variation indicating a misfire sufficient to cause Three-Way catalytic converter damage or emissions levels to exceed mandated standard.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
If the engine misfire is minimal it will not damage the catalyst. The PCM will illuminate the MIL during the second key cycle in which the DTC sets
If the engine misfire is severe it may damage the catalyst. The PCM will flash the MIL while the misfire remains at catalyst damaging levels.
The PCM will disable TCC operation.
The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as
Freeze Frame and Fail Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has been run and passed.
The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Info function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
The scan tool provides information that can be useful in identifying the misfiring cylinder. If the DTC P0300 is currently stored as Test failed since code clear, the misfire history counters (Misfire Hist #1 - #6) will still contain a value that represents the level of misfire detected on each cylinder.
The scan tool displayed misfire counter values (Misfire Hist. #1 through #6) can be useful in determining whether the misfire is isolated to a single cylinder, is isolated to a cylinder pair (cylinders that share an ignition coil -1/4, 2/5, 3/6), or is random. If the largest amount of activity is isolated to a cylinder pair, check for the following conditions:
Secondary Ignition Wires: Check wires for affected cylinder pair for disconnected ignition wires or for excessive resistance (the wires should measure under 30,000 Ohm (30 K-Ohm).
Damaged Or Faulty Ignition Coil: Check for cracks, carbon tracking or other damage. Also check coil secondary resistance. Secondary resistance should be between 5000 Ohm and 7000 Ohm (5 K-Ohm and 7 K-Ohm).
Substitute a known good coil: Swap ignition coils on the Ignition Control Module and retest. If the misfire follows the coil, replace the ignition coil. Refer to ignition Coil.
If the misfire is random, check for the following conditions:
System Grounds: Ensure all connections are clean and properly tightened.
MAF: A Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor output that causes the PCM to sense a lower than normal air flow will cause a lean condition. Try operating the vehicle within the fail records conditions with the MAF sensor disconnected. If the lean or misfiring condition is not present with the MAF sensor disconnected, replace the MAF sensor Refer to MAF Sensor.
Air Induction System: Vacuum leaks that cause intake air to bypass the MAF sensor will cause a lean condition. Check for disconnected or damaged vacuum hoses, incorrectly installed or faulty PCV valve, or for vacuum leaks at the throttle body, EGR valve, and intake manifold mounting surfaces. Refer to Air Induction System, and Crankcase Ventilation System.
Fuel Pressure: Perform a fuel system pressure test. A faulty fuel pump, plugged filter, or faulty fuel system pressure regulator will contribute to a lean condition. Refer to Fuel System Pressure Test. See: Powertrain Management Computers and Control Systems Testing and Inspection Component Tests and General Diagnostics System Diagnosis - Fuel System Pressure Test
Injector(s): Perform Fuel Injector Coil Test Fuel Injector Balance Test to locate faulty injector(s) contributing to a lean or flooding condition. In addition to the above test, check the condition of the injector O-rings. See: Powertrain Management Computers and Control Systems Testing and Inspection Component Tests and General Diagnostics Fuel Injector Balance Test
EGR: Check for leaking valve, adapter, or feed pipes which will contribute to a lean condition or excessive EGR flow. Refer to EGR System.
Extended Idle: Excessive open loop operation caused by extended idling or short trip driving may leave deposits on the heated oxygen sensors. The deposits cause oxygen sensors to respond slowly to exhaust oxygen content, affecting fuel control and causing a misfire to be indicated at idle. This condition is not permanent. To determine if this condition is causing the DTC P0300 to be set, review the freeze frame and fail records data for DTC P0300. If the DTC P0300 occurs at high engine speeds, the condition described above did not cause the DTC P0300 to set. If the DTC P0300 occurs at idle or very low engine speeds and at engine coolant temperatures below 80 C (176 F), the condition described above is very likely the cause of the DTC P0300 being set. The deposits on the heated oxygen sensors can be eliminated by operating the vehicle fully warm at mass air flows above 15 gm/s.
Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.
A faulty injector or injector circuit will cause a misfire DTC to be set. The DTC P1200 table diagnoses any problems with the injector circuits.
The Misfire Cur # display may normally display a small amount of activity (0 - 10 counts) but should not steadily increment during an entire 200 revolution test sample period.
Depending on the cause of the misfire, the misfire history counter will display a very large number for the misfiring cylinder(s); values for the non-misfiring cylinders will be less than 1/2 as great as the misfiring cylinder(s). When investigating a misfire, always start with items associated with the cylinder(s) that has the largest number of counts stored in the misfire history counter.
Steps 5 through 13 check for conditions that can cause a random cylinder misfire.
Steps 14 through 16 check for injector faults using J 34730-380. While using this tool DTC P0107, P0117, P1107 and P1114 may be stored as active. This is from disconnecting the 10-way injector connector to install the tool (the MAP sensor and ECT sensor circuits also pass through this connector). Disregard these DTCs when using this tool.
Steps 17 through 25 check for conditions that can cause a non-random or single cylinder misfire.
This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is being replaced the new PCM must be programmed. PCM Replacement/programming.

House Speaker Bosma is Killing Constitutional Carry!
Not a GOA member yet? You can join Gun Owners of America today for only $20!
Tell Speaker Bosma to Bring up Permitless Carry for a Vote
Dear Friend:
Where does House Speaker Brian Bosma stand on gun rights?
It's an important question, because so far, Bosma is refusing to bring up permitless carry for a vote in the state House of Representatives.
Rep. Jim Lucas has introduced HB 1159, to make Indiana a Constitutional Carry state.
If it passes, Indiana would join 12 other states in not requiring law-abiding residents to get government permission to carry a concealed firearm.
More and more states across the country are adopting Constitutional Carry. Of the 12 states with Constitutional Carry, six have adopted it in the last two years. Soon, a majority of states will have adopted Constitutional Carry.
But Brian Bosma is siding with radical anti-gun activists who think you should be arrested for carrying concealed.
He is blocking HB 1159 from a vote, and he needs to hear from you!
Call him at 800-382-9841.
Firmly, but politely, tell him you are a Gun Owners of America supporter, and that he must immediately bring HB 1159 to the House floor for a recorded vote.
It will only take a minute, but it will be the kind of massive grassroots pressure that can force him to change his anti-gun position.
Your call right now could be the one that passes Constitutional Carry.
In Liberty,
Erich Pratt
Executive Director
Pre-written Letter for Speaker Brian Bosma
Please schedule a vote for HB 1159
Dear Speaker Bosma:
Rep. Jim Lucas has introduced HB 1159, to make Indiana a Constitutional Carry state.
If it passes, Indiana would join 12 other states in recognizing the right of law-abiding residents to carry concealed firearms without government permission.
More and more states across the country are adopting Constitutional Carry. And the safest five states in the country are Constitutional Carry states, allowing either open or concealed "permitless" carry for gun owners in those states.
This bill would make Indiana a safer, freer state, as evidenced by information provided by Gun Owners of America: http://gunowners.org/why-adopt-constitutional-carry-law.htm
As a strong supporter of the Second Amendment -- and of Gun Owners of America -- I hope that you will schedule a vote for this very important legislation.
Thank you.

Welcome to Ashara
Composed of four large landmasses, and several smaller ones, the continent of Ashara is a land of excitement and discovery. The four kingdoms of Ashara – Andoria, Pelira, Hash-I'sah, and Vecora – have maintained an uneasy peace for the past decade. It is in Andoria that you will make a name for yourself, crafting your destiny from the discovery of lost treasures and the bodies of your foes.
For this campaign, expect a bit of everything… Some sessions will involve more traditional dungeon-crawls, while others may be more based on intrigue and dialogue. In a general sense, I'm interested in seeing how your characters develop over the course of the campaign, starting as level 1 nobodies and eventually gaining epic fame (and potentially 30th level ;) ). Once I've gotten the hang of DMing again (I figure it might take a session or two) you can certainly expect there to be a more complex plot arc, tying your various adventures together and allowing you to affect the world.
In the meantime, go ahead and check out the Getting Started page to see what you need to do to get ready for the first session.
