Thanks to the payouts for sick pay and vacation time he received upon retirement, Huntington Beach's former fire chief earned the highest paycheck among municipal fire chiefs statewide in 2009 — the most recent year for which there is data — state controller's office records show.
Duane Olson's compensation that year, $363,608, eclipsed the total compensation for fire chiefs in Los Angeles, San Jose and San Diego — the three largest cities in California.
However, because Olson received his large payment in the year of his retirement, it is difficult to make apples-to-apples comparisons with California's still-working fire chiefs.
Olson's base salary during his last year of work, $191,349, is largely in line with his peers in California's larger cities. That number was nearly doubled by more than $70,000 in accrued sick time and more than $56,000 in accrued general leave, among other payouts.
At least in 2009, Olson did take in more than all others in the same line of work. Riverside's fire chief, for example, earned $360,411, the second-highest rate in California. Anaheim's fire chief made $230,410, while Santa Ana's chief made $270,428. Each city is larger than Huntington Beach.

Excellent little unitBy: Anthony on 22 January 2017I was looking around for a cheap camera to replace one that I use for a specific purpose. I came across this unit, which had a great price. My expectations were low, considering the price, however, I haven't been disappointed. Very good image quality, easy to use, and a staggering array of accessories. The fact that it arrived with an 8GB micro SD card made it all the better. I hope it lasts at least for a few years, as it does it's job very well.

The Washington Post published an expose of the Ivanka Trump clothing line clearly demonstrating that even when compared to the greater fashion industry, the Trump brand is out of step with modern labor and business practices.
While the industry increasingly turns to independent monitors to observe conditions in their factories, the Trump brand apparently relies on self-policing.
From big brands such as Adidas and Kenneth Cole to smaller, newer players like California-based Everlane, many U.S. clothing companies have in recent years made protecting factory workers abroad a priority — hiring independent auditors to monitor labor conditions, pressing factory owners to make improvements and providing consumers with details about the overseas facilities where their goods are produced.
But the Trump brand has taken a more hands-off approach. Although executives say they have a code of conduct that prohibits physical abuse and child labor, the company relies on its suppliers to abide by the policy.
Working conditions and compensation at even the most high profile foreign factories probably isn't as good as it should be even if the Trump brand stands out among the rest as a particular bad actor.
It's not clear to me to what extent anyone can be truly proud about the source of their clothing even if it was made here in the US, but that's what the Trump brand or at least the Trump political brand has promised, isn't it?
Donald Trump has boasted many times that we're going to "make America great again" by manufacturing things in America again, but we're not. We're not going to start making clothes here again, unless its done by robots, and the top executive of the Ivanka Trump brand apparently agrees.
Trump brand executive Abigail Klem candidly told the Washington Post that we don't even have the capacity to manufacture various clothing items here.
Klem, the Trump brand president, said the company is exploring ways to produce some goods in the United States but that "to do it at a large scale is currently not possible."
Klem spoke to The Post in the fashion line's offices on the 23rd floor of Trump Tower, three floors below the headquarters of the Trump Organization. On a table next to her lay a copy of a 2016 Business of Fashion report, "Unravelling the Myth of 'Made in America.' "
"The workers no longer exist here or only in very small, small capacity; the machinery in many instances does not exist here," Klem said. "It is a very complex problem."
Yes, it is a very complex problem.
Donald Trump may not know it (this depends on just stupid you believe he is), but Ivanka does. The braintrust currently running the Trump family's brands knows it. The only people buying Trump's "made it America" talk and tough stance on foreign trade are people who understand neither.
Unless Americans are willing to give up their imported products and literally face empty store shelves and tight supply, Trump's dream of a trade war is not going to turn out the way anyone on the left or right believes it will. We are not going to suddenly leap into action and begin mass producing Nike shoes or iPhones in the Rust Belt which does not even have the capacity in technology or manpower to do so.
For perspective, the company that manufactures the iPhone, Foxconn, has over 1 million employees with 100,000 lines of production. Hundreds of thousands of their employees build nothing but phones. We'll never duplicate that here.
Some people say the Trump brand should move their production here to live up to Trump Sr's rhetoric and promises, but I think he should drop the bullshit and level with people. Stop feeding them a fantasy.

Both No. 18 now, will Michigan's football or basketball team be higher ranked when their seasons end?
AnnArbor.com file photos
Eighteen is a popular number on the Michigan athletic campus, and not just because freshman cornerback Blake Countess has played so well in his No. 18 jersey.
The Michigan football team is currently ranked No. 18 in The Associated Press poll and are at No. 18 in the first Bowl Championship Series standings.
When the preseason USA Today/ESPN Top 25 basketball poll was released on Thursday, Michigan was listed at -- you guessed it -- No. 18.
If the teams are currently at identical spots in the national pecking order of their respective sports, the question begging to be answered is which one will end its season with a higher ranking?
AnnArbor.com football beat writer Kyle Meinke and basketball beat writer Nick Baumgardner weigh in with their choices:
Baumgardner's vote
The Michigan football team is 6-1 with five regular season games remaining. However, the back half of the schedule is much more difficult than the front. The Wolverines technically could win out, or finish the year 10-2. I don't see that happening, though. No. 18 seems about right, to me, and I can't see Michigan finishing much higher than there by season's end.
The basketball question is tougher, because they haven't played a game yet. On paper, it's easy to say they finish higher than No. 18. However, preseason basketball polls are never, ever concrete (ask Michigan State about last year). But, we've got to pick one. The Big Ten isn't expected to be overly stacked this year, and Michigan has a very strong crop of talent returning.
The overall ceiling seems higher for basketball. So I'll take John Beilein and the gang.
Meinke's vote
This is hard to project because the basketball team won't be anywhere near its ranking even one week into the season. It plays in the Maui Invitational, where it likely will play several games against marquee opponents and have a chance to jump into the top 10 or out of the poll entirely, depending upon how it fares.
In the end, though, I have to go with basketball. The football team will lose at least two more games, maybe three, meaning it'll finish no better than around 20th in the polls. The basketball team should be a top-15 team.
And, now, we ask you the same question. Let's discuss it in the comments section.
Sat, Oct 22, 2011 : 11:46 p.m.
I'm just glad we can even have this question raised!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't too long ago that this question would get you laughed right out of town.
Sat, Oct 22, 2011 : 4:40 p.m.
Got my ticket for the UVA game in Charlottesville Nov 29. Hoping they can overcome the loss of the now unemployed Darius Morris, he always seemed to come up with a big basket in the lane.
Sat, Oct 22, 2011 : 4:34 a.m.
Like most polls, this one isn't even rational. But I'll play and I take Meinke's and Baumgardner's picks: Basketball at least has a chance to do better than No. 18. There'll be a lot of Div. 1 football teams with 9-3 seasons this year, Michigan most likely will be among them. Gotta say, a 10th win on Nov. 26th would be a nice pre-Christmas present to M football fans.

Fri, Oct 21, 2011 : 11:02 p.m.
Both teams will not be ranked at the end of there seasons. Over-Rated!!!!
Sat, Oct 22, 2011 : 3:15 p.m.
As usual, msu boy, your lack of judgment is showing.
Macabre Sunset
Fri, Oct 21, 2011 : 10:46 p.m.
I don't think it's likely that the football team will be ranked. Hopefully they'll surprise me, but the team was dominated on both sides of the line at MSU, and that's hard to fix. No idea about basketball. We won't know until we see if the freshmen can contribute and how Hardaway responds to the expectations of first-team all-Big Ten play. But I'd vote basketball.

Damned If You Do, F**ked If You Don't -- The Mockery of the American Education System
By Dustin Rowles | Film | September 8, 2010 |
By Dustin Rowles | Film | September 8, 2010 |
When it comes to public education, your politics are likely to get completely screwed around with. At least if you're a commie liberal hippie pansy, like myself, it's hard to know what to think. According to my party allegiances, I'm supposed to be in favor of unions, and I think I'm supposed to be against charter schools or the idea of "school choice," where students can decided to go to a superior school, which in turn drives down the value of the lesser schools even more. While I can theoretically understand why someone would be opposed to charter schools, in practice, I'd choose to have them rather than not for many of the reasons outlined by the documentary, The Lottery.
In the devastating and heartbreaking Madeleine Sackler documentary, the issue is all the more confused because it's set in Harlem, in what must be a Democratic stronghold, and yet the main villain in the film -- and in real-life opposition to charter schools -- is the teacher's union, which basically controls the Democratic party. Of course, for those of you who are or know a teacher, you probably know how powerful the teacher's union is. It has to be second to only the baseball players union in its strength, and with that much power comes corruption. If you're a teacher, the union is great: You have unparalleled job security, a nice pension plan, and lots of vacation (unfortunately, the union isn't quite strong enough to afford teachers a better salary). But with that job security, in many cases, you get teachers who don't give a shit, who have no expectations to meet, no competition, and little incentive to do more than the bare minimum. Why should they? It's not like they'll get fired: In 2008, of the 55,000 unionized teachers, only 10 were fired, and at a cost of an average of $250,000 in legal fees per teacher termination. It's cheaper to put them in the rubber room.
Of course, if I were a teacher, I'd want to be in the union myself. But for students saddled with unmotivated teachers, you get what's happened in Harlem, where 19 of 23 schools have failing literacy rates, and where the average graduating student can read no better than the 8th grade level. The reasons are many, and I'm sure have a lot to do with environmental factors outside of the school system, like single-parent homes, unemployed or drug-addicted parents, and parents who simply don't care anymore than the teachers do.
But, at least according to The Lottery, charter schools in Harlem have been very effective. And while some of that is likely due to the fact that the more concerned and caring parents -- who are already more likely to raise a successful child -- are more likely to go through the effort of putting their child into a charter school, a lot of that success has to be attributed to the schools themselves, which are held to a higher standard and threatened with closure if they don't meet those expectations.
The Lottery focuses on several families -- mostly single-parent homes -- and their efforts to enroll a child into the charter schools, where the odds of the child making it to college are dramatically increased. Where the choice is between a zoned school with a 10 percent literacy rate, and a charter school where future college admittance is far more likely, the choice is easy for parents. Of course, that's why there are thousands of applicants for only a limited number of spots, which are given out in a lottery. If your number is chosen: Congratulations! Your child has a shot in life. If your number isn't chosen, especially if you're a black male living in Harlem, you have better odds of ending up in prison than you do a college. In Harlem, and in a lot of urban districts around the nation, the American Dream is handed out in a lottery.
It sucks, but the alternative is that everyone ends up going to the schools with a ten percent literacy rate. Of course, the other alternative is to fix the public school system in those areas, but it's unlikely to change unless the teacher's union is fixed. But the teacher's union is powerful and controls, in many cases, the political establishment. The very people who have control over school reform have a self-serving interest in the status quo.
Who suffers? The kids. The education system. Taxpayers. Our economy, The future of this country, which has fallen further and further behind in math and literacy rates among civilized nations. But mostly the kids. And watching, in this documentary, those parents helplessly vying for a tiny chance at giving their children a proper education is immensely heartbreaking. You're happy for those who get into the charter schools, but it hardly makes up for witnessing the bitterness and pain for the vast majority who do not.
In our two-party system, it's a politically untenable solution, it seems: Vote for a Democrat, and you get the teacher's union and opposition to charter schools. Vote for a Republican, and you get more charter schools, which drain resources and brighter students away from the public schools, which then fall further and further behind. And you also get opposition to the teacher's unions, and in a field where job security is the only real incentive anymore, a vote against the union likely means that you're going to lose even more good, smart, devoted teachers to the private sector. It's a completely screwed up system, and in a nation with so much innovation, you'd think we could fix it.
The Lottery doesn't afford the opposition much of a voice; it's more concerned with demonizing those opposed to charter schools in Harlem through the use of selective editing, which highlights the screechy, irrational critics while humanizing the those in favor. It's charter school agitprop, to be sure, but it's wildly effective. If I lived in Harlem, I'd do everything in my power to send my child to a charter school. But if he didn't get into a charter school, I'm sure I'd fight against them, if only because they're taking the better teachers, and public resources that could've been allocated to my son's zoned school. I'm curious to see, however, whether the similarly themed but more publicized documentary, Waiting for Superman (out later this month) will take a more even-handed approach. It's a fascinating and disturbing issue, and at the very least, it deserves to be discussed and debated. Somebody has to do something, and maybe The Lottery and Waiting for Superman can help to lead the charge.

Swiss search for strategy on nuclear
The nuclear catastrophe in Japan has triggered a debate across Europe about just how safe nuclear power is.
The European Union has ordered stress tests on all nuclear power stations. Germany has gone a step further and taken older plants out of service.
Switzerland, though not a member of the European Union, is taking a long, hard look at its nuclear power industry too with, many Swiss believe, very good reason.
Switzerland currently gets about 40% of its energy from nuclear power, but its plants are ageing.
The Beznau 1 pressurised water reactor is the oldest in the world still in operation, it came on stream more than 40 years ago, in 1969.
The other four Swiss reactors all date from 1984 or earlier, none were built after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986, and in 1990, the Swiss, still with Chernobyl in mind, approved a moratorium on new plants.
More recently however, that policy changed, when Switzerland, concerned to reduce fossil fuel consumption, backed replacements for the oldest nuclear plants.
But that plan came to an abrupt halt early on Monday morning 14 March. After a weekend watching the unfolding disaster in Japan, Switzerland's minister for energy and the environment, Doris Leuthard, announced that all plans for new nuclear plants would be suspended.
"Safety is the highest priority for us, so I have decided to suspend these plans, until we know for certain if our own safety regulations are enough in light of these new developments," said Mrs Leuthard.
"I want to know the exact causes of the events in Japan, whether risks were underestimated, and how much this will affect our own nuclear safety regulations."
Her decision made the Swiss government the first in Europe to officially change its nuclear power policy in response to the disaster in Japan.
But doubts about Switzerland's nuclear industry are not confined to the wisdom or otherwise of building new plants. Many Swiss are extremely concerned about the safety of the existing, ageing ones.
Jurg Bueri, of the Swiss Energy Foundation, which promotes renewable energy, believes Switzerland's nuclear plants could be, in the event of an earthquake, a huge risk.
"We have been saying for years that the situation in relation to earthquakes is simply not OK," he said.
And indeed a study known as the Pegasos project, carried out by the Swiss nuclear safety inspectors long before Japan's earthquake and tsunami, revealed that, when it came to earthquake protection, Swiss plants were not up to scratch.
"In the past, it's a fact, we underestimated the risk of earthquakes," Georg Schwarz, deputy director of the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate, told Swiss television.
"The new study we carried out shows that the earthquake risk in Switzerland is actually twice as big as we originally thought - that means our nuclear power stations will have to re-examine their earthquake protection measures."
Basel disaster
Switzerland, while not in a zone as earthquake-prone as Japan, does have its fair share of seismological events.
Although most recent ones have been relatively minor, the city of Basel experienced a huge quake in 1356. The resulting destruction and subsequent fire razed the old city to the ground, and hundreds of people died. Every castle and church within a 30km radius of Basel was flattened.
Modern seismologists say that earthquake still ranks as the most significant ever to hit central Europe in recorded history: 6.5, possibly even 7, on the Richter scale.
The fault line along which it occurred is, of course, still there, and, more recently, plans for a geothermal heating plant in Basel had to be abandoned because the bore holes being drilled for it triggered off a series of tremors.
That is why safety experts are unclear that Switzerland's nuclear power stations could withstand an event like the Basel quake of 1356.
"Earthquakes are the biggest threat to nuclear power stations in Switzerland," admitted Ralph Schulz, head of safety analysis at the Nuclear Inspectorate.
"The Pegasos study did show the earthquake risks were higher than originally thought."
Nevertheless, Mr Schulz still maintains Switzerland's nuclear power plants are safe.
"We were making improvements before and after Pegasos... to improve our emergency systems, and we have made numerous improvements specific to earthquakes."
Safety delays
But new safety measures are hugely expensive: the Beznau 1 plant has spent more than 1bn Swiss francs ($1bn) on supplementary diesel generators, which would, in the event of an earthquake, cool down the fuel rods in an attempt to prevent a meltdown.
And these remedies will take years to complete, time during which opponents of nuclear power claim that Switzerland's ageing reactors would be operating below optimum safety levels.
Jurg Bueri, of the Swiss Energy Foundation, believes the money now being spent on safety measures would be better invested phasing out nuclear power.
"We need a policy that gets rid of this technology," he said. "We need to shut these old plants down and make a much stronger commitment to renewable energy."
Power dilemma
Many believe Swiss energy minister Doris Leuthard's decision to suspend all plans for new nuclear power stations was an astute bit of crisis management, in order to give her government time to develop a new policy.
Just three weeks before the Japanese earthquake, voters in the Swiss capital Berne approved - by the narrowest of margins - a new nuclear power station.
Two more referenda on new reactors in other parts of Switzerland were due soon, and Mrs Leuthard knew that after Fukushima, there was no chance of voter approval.
By suspending the plans for new reactors, she has delayed the votes by several years.
That gives her time to answer some very hard questions; investing in new safety measures for old reactors will be costly, and will likely put the price of power up - but the same is true for investing in and developing renewable energy sources.
But shutting down the reactors and losing 40% of Switzerland's energy is not a viable solution, the Swiss economy, and indeed Swiss consumers, despite their doubts about nuclear power, just would not accept it.
It is a dilemma that is facing nearly every country in Europe, as governments assess options in the wake of the Japanese disaster. What all of them know is that, after Fukushima, it will be very difficult to gain public acceptance for new nuclear power stations.

Dating Dead-Ends—by Jamie Levine
Before I became a mother, I dated constantly, and people who wondered out loud why I never had a boyfriend often surmised, "you must be too picky." But the reality was I just could never find a guy whom I felt chemistry with who would commit to me for more than a few months. I was unlucky in love, and perhaps I made some poor choices, but I wasn't very picky. Now, I'm picky.
Before I met Library Guy, I was quite content existing as a single mother on my own. But after experiencing a pretty amazing—though ultimately tumultuous—relationship with a single father, I've realized that I want another one (minus the drama, of course). And I want it badly. But it's far from easy to find. Because this time around, I'm very picky.
First of all, I don't simply want to date a single man—I want to date a single father. I want the man I'm with to "get" the devotion I have to Jayda, and understand that she always comes first—whether that means having to cancel a date because I need to spend time with my sick child, or even bailing on an intimate moment with my man because my daughter is crying out for me. Library Guy "got" that and it helped us through a lot of tough times. Honestly, the fact that both of us prided ourselves on being good parents was something that brought us together and made our relationship stronger.
So, I'm only open to dating single dads…but there's more. I don't want a dad who has more than two children, because let's face it, if we ever wind up living together, that means three children living in our house some weekends—three children to both dote on and discipline—and that's almost more than I can handle; four or five would be over-the-top. There's also child support to contend with: If my new man is responsible for supporting more than two children—and putting them through college—he may not have much left to contribute to my child's upbringing. And while I'm not looking for a sugar daddy or a free ride, if I ever get married, I am counting on a second income in my household making at least a bit of a difference in my child's life.
But that's not all. While I'm searching for that single father of one or two children, I also need to find out immediately how long the man has been divorced. Because after my tragic ending with Library Guy, I've learned my lesson: Never go out with a man until he's been divorced for at least a year. Library Guy jumped from his broken marriage right into an intense relationship with me and never experienced being alone, or even dating, and he needed to. Just-divorced men need time to see what's out there, have some fun, and figure out who they are before jumping into the next big thing. And I do want my next relationship to be a big thing—not a fling or a rebound or a big mistake. Unfortunately, I've been meeting a lot of really great just-getting-divorced guys lately, and though I've been tempted by a few, ultimately, I've walked away. I never believed it before I fell for Library Guy, but timing is everything when it comes to making a relationship work. And I won't date a divorced man before it's the right time.
So once I do finally meet a single father of one or two children who has been divorced for over a year, am I ready to date him? I think not. A zillion other components come into play: Not only does he have to be fit and funny and gentlemanly and generous, but there has to be chemistry between us. I've met a few terrific guys lately, but when they kiss me, I don't feel weak in my knees, and when they come to pick me up for a second date, I don't want to jump into their arms, and for me, that's a dealbreaker. I need chemistry. I need great kissing. I need passion. And those things are not so easy to find.
But that's not all; once I start dating a guy for awhile, it's not just me whom he needs to please: I need to be with a man who's good with Jayda, and with whom Jayda likes to spend time. Jayda's rather friendly and social—and she loves men, in general—so she's not too difficult to win over, but she will be a factor in my future relationships because we're a package deal: Two smart, strong-willed, beautiful females for the price of one. And yet another obstacle to overcome when it comes to finding Mr. Right.
No wonder I'm single. No wonder I'm still finding it difficult to let go of my dream of being with Library Guy….and wondering if I'll ever feel the way I used to feel when I was with him. And thank goodness I have so many amazing girlfriends—and guy friends—to lean on whenever I start wondering. Because lately I do often wonder if I'll ever find a new boyfriend—let alone a husband. And with enough love and friendship in my life, I know I'll find a way to be ok without one.


text: I don't remember when I first heard about this book, but I couldn't WAIT for it to come out so I could read it! My review was posted July 10: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith My rating: 4 of 5 stars Having just read P&P, how could I resist a take-off that sounds so deliciously hysterical? Yes, I loved this rendition! Delightfully quirky, and yet relatively faithful to the original. In fact, I thought the addition of zombies made more sense of the whole plot and behaviors of the characters. Book Description from Amazon: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read. ___________________________________________________________ This book actually contains about 85% of Jane Austen's text. Personally, I think that any book that can survive the addition of hordes of zombies MUST be a masterpiece.

Memorial of St. Ambrose, bishop and doctor
"To avoid dissensions we should be ever on our guard, more especially with those who drive us to argue with them, with those who vex and irritate us, and who say things likely to excite us to anger. When we find ourselves in company with quarrelsome, eccentric individuals, people who openly and unblushingly say the most shocking things, difficult to put up with, we should take refuge in silence, ...and the wisest plan is not to reply to people whose behavior is so preposterous. Those who insult us and treat us contumeliously are anxious for a spiteful and sarcastic reply: the silence we then affect disheartens them, and they cannot avoid showing their vexation; they do all they can to provoke us and to elicit a reply, but the best way to baffle them is to say nothing, refuse to argue with them, and to leave them to chew the cud of their hasty anger. This method of bringing down their pride disarms them, and shows them plainly that we slight and despise them."

Remember the Rain… (Job 5-6)
October 29, 2010
Have you ever had a conversation that's not really a conversation? You know the kind; when you get the sense that the other person is not so much listening to you as waiting to continue with their speech. I get the impression that this is happening in Job 5-6. Job is on a role. He's having a good old moan and there's nothing Eliphaz can do about it.
I don't blame the guy. He's having a tough time to say the least, what with the whole my-whole-family-has-died-and-I've lost-all -i-owned situation. And we all know that there's nothing as Carthartic as a good old rant. Indeed, you all know I'm particularly partial to ranting… But it's a shame, because Job is so wrapped up in his own grief that he misses something beautiful.
Eliphaz has reminded Job of who he is (as I wrote about last week). Now he reminds him of who God is. Within this he says "He does great things and unsearchable marvelous things without number." (5:9) And what is Eliphaz's first example of this?
"He gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields."
He makes the rain.
Now, I like in Manchester, we have a slightly different perspective on the desirability of rain than our brothers and sisters closer to the equator. The rain is not something we have to wait for, nor do we need to wonder if it will come. Still, this gives even more beauty to the example. The rain always comes; we don't usually will and we certainly don't appreciate it, but it comes all the same.
When we question suffering, and even more when we are caught up in our own suffering, we are seeing a very human experience-centred picture. We forget the seasons that change and the rains that come. The trees that grow and the currents that flow. The millions of new lives that comes even as others go. We forget the rain, we forget the sun. We see such a narrow vision of all that creation is, or all that God gives.
So when I am caught up in the woes of the world. When my heart is broken. When I worry. When I am struggling to understand God's plan or purpose. When I feel, as Job, that life has lost its flavour (6:6). I am going to try to remember the rain. Remember the rain.

FREEPORT — The Town Council is prepared to sell five acres of land off Desert Road to accommodate a Portland business and possibly a new business park.
The unanimous decision to negotiate the sale of land to ComNav Engineering, create a second buildable commercial lot and seek an easement from L.L. Bean to construct a road to the town-owned property came after an executive session on Tuesday, Oct. 26.
The land is across the street from the Bean distribution center on Desert Road.
Sande Updegraph, executive director of the Freeport Economic Development Corp., said the total parcel is about 24 acres. The five-acre portion would be developed and sold to the Portland company if Bean allows the access road to be built.
ComNav Engineering President Marty Geesaman said the proposal to move to Freeport is in its preliminary stages.
Geesaman, 52, is originally from Maryland, and has lived in Maine since 1992. He said he started ComNav in 1996 after working for GTE Products Corp., which manufactures electrical control devices for the automobile industry and sensing equipment for appliances and lighting in Standish.
ComNav makes ceramic filters for cell phones, GPS devices and E-ZPass sensors. The company has about 35 employees on Riverside Street in Portland, Geesaman said, but is growing at a "steady, easy-to-handle pace."
Updegraph said the company is unable to expand in Portland, but would have that option in Freeport. The deal will not cost the town anything and will generate tax dollars and job opportunities, she said.
"Nothing is solid yet, but it puts Freeport in a very small way in the business of expanding its manufacturing base with a clean, progressive company," she said. "This will help diversify the tax base and promote activity year round."
Updegraph said the town must still secure a letter of intent from the ComNav and meet with Bean to discuss the easement. The proposal has to be vetted by the Project Review Board, Planning Board and council for final approval.

Review Article
Prince Sihanouk on the Peopled War in Cambodia
NORODOM SIHANOUK and WILFRED BURCHETT, MY WAR WITH THE CIA—CAMBODIA'S FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL, Alien Lane The Penguin Press^ London 1973, pp 271, ^ 0.50.
HE was a life-long revolutionary of humble origins. I am an aristocrat from a long line of monarchs. He was of another generation, 30 years my senior. But we had one thing in common, unswerving devotion to our country's independence. He chose the stern revolutionary road, a course which appalled me when I was young and thought of all the blood that would be shed.
Those were the feelings of Prince Sihanouk, Cambodia's Head of State, when he was taking his place as an honour guard at the bier of President Ho Chi-Minh. "Gazing for the first and last time at the serene, austere face of that incomparable patriot, I felt that, contained in his life and activities, was the history of generations of sacrifice by the peoples of Indo-China to be free of foreign domination." (p 157)
This probably sums up the content of the 262-page-long story of Prince Sihanouk which has merged with the story of the Cambodian people's struggle for freedom—first from the French, then from the Japanese, and finally from the Americans.
The co-author, Wilfred Burchett, tells us in his Foreword that the book's material "was dictated by Norodom Sihanouk in French, transcribed by myself into English, divided up according to agreed chapter titles and corrected by Prince Sihanouk.'* (p 16) The result is an extremely readable story of one of the chapters in the history of the Asian people's struggle for freedom.
It is not for us to quarrel with Sihanouk and his co-author on the title given to the book. We should, however, warn the reader against thinking that it is only the story of the prince's anti-American struggle. In fact, it goes back to the days when Cambodia was under the French colonial

Today was really cold, so I bundled up in my favourite teal scarf that I bought at Club Monaco in 2006 (I think, it was a long time ago). I also put on a lot of teal eyeshadow, but that has nothing to do with the cold.
I don't have that much to say today except I'm ecstatic it's Friday (is it just me or did this week feel like it would never end?), so I'm linking up with the little things we do for fill in the blank Friday.
- When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is put on my glasses. I'm blind without them.
- I can hardly wait for a really good night's sleep tonight.
- The quickest way to my heart is Vietnamese fried spring rolls because they're like crack and I love them.
- A little known fact about me is that I once considered a career in musical theatre. I love Broadway and I love to sing, so it seemed like a possibility. Then I realized I wasn't cut out to be an actor.
- The best part of my job is the people I meet and the people I work with.
- Something I just couldn't like without is lip balm. My go-to has been Burt's Bees original for the past few years, but I'm open to trying others.
- Something useful I wish I knew how to do is car repair. Well, maybe I wouldn't want to do car repair myself, but I'd like to know more about it so I wouldn't feel like an idiot on the rare occasion I take Will's car to the mechanic.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Tucson PD panel to scrutinize procedures of photo lineups
TPD panel to scrutinize procedures of photo lineups
Eyewitness IDs susceptible to suggestion, critics say
By Alexis Huicochea and Kim Smith
In any criminal investigation, finding a witness who can identify a suspect by looking at a photo lineup is like hitting the jackpot.
Or is it?
The traditional photo lineup is a tool that many law enforcement agencies have used for decades, but in recent years, with all of the advances in DNA testing, the effectiveness of traditional photo lineups has come under fire.
The Tucson Police Department has formed the Eyewitness Identification Project Advisory Committee to look at other methods of conducting photo lineups to ensure that an innocent person doesn't get sent to prison, said Lt. John Stamatopoulos.
The committee consists of UA researchers, UA College of Law representatives, prosecutors and defense attorneys, he said.
One reason, he said, is that out of the first 40 convictions overturned nationally through the work of the Innocence Project, 36 were based on eyewitness testimony.
The Innocence Project is a nonprofit legal group that only handles cases in which post-conviction DNA testing of evidence can yield conclusive proof of innocence, according to its Web site.
Tucson police couldn't point to any local cases in which DNA evidence later led to the overturning of a conviction based on eyewitness testimony, but they want to study the lineup issue.
"The Tucson Police Department is progressive. We are always looking for ways to better ourselves, so we hope to make ourselves available for scientific pilot studies to determine what really is the best method," Stamatopoulos said.
In a traditional photo lineup, the detective working a case will take a photo of a suspect and gather five photos of people similar in appearance to show to a witness or victim with the hope that they will select the right person.
However, mistaken identifications are the No. 1 cause of wrongful convictions, so anything that can improve the reliability of the identification process would be welcome, said defense attorney Rick Lougee.
"An officer knows what they want, and they can unwittingly suggest (a suspect), even the most honest cop," Lougee said. "It can be their tone of voice or their inflection, and the witness is looking for cues."
People naturally want to be helpful, Lougee said.
The department is fully aware of the concerns that Lougee raises and that is one of the reasons, Stamatopoulos said, that it is considering a double-blind method in which someone not associated with the case would administer the lineup.
Defense attorney Dan Cooper says one of his clients was arrested for first-degree murder last year because police manipulated a witness during a series of photo lineups. The veteran attorney has asked Judge Richard Fields of Pima County Superior Court to throw out the identification; the matter is pending.
According to authorities, Tony Cornejo's lifeless body was found in Tucson several hours after he and two other men were severely beaten at a Phoenix tire shop by two men.
One of the victims, Juan Ceniceros-Lopez, told police that one of the men shown in a photo lineup looked a little like the tall man who beat him. The man was not Cooper's client, Dominique Martinez.
Three months later, police showed Ceniceros-Lopez another lineup with Martinez in it. Cooper said that although lineups are supposed to include pictures of similar-looking people, the other men in the lineup looked vastly different from Martinez. One had a shaved head, two were obese and another was dark-complected when the attacker was light-skinned.
Ceniceros-Lopez again said one of the men looked a little bit like the attacker, but said he was too old. Again, the man was not Martinez.
According to Cooper, the detectives then asked Ceniceros-Lopez to focus in on Martinez, asking him if he would look like the tall attacker if his head was shaved, if his hair was shorter, if his hair was longer.
Ceniceros-Lopez eventually said Martinez looked "similar" to his attacker.
By the time Ceniceros-Lopez was asked to participate in a live lineup, he'd seen Martinez's picture twice and no one else from the photo lineups was included, Cooper said.
Ceniceros-Lopez picked out Martinez and again said he looked "similar" to his attacker.
Again and again the police would simply not accept Ceniceros-Lopez's inability to positively identify his attacker, Cooper said in his court motion.
"They did precisely what years of cases have precluded as technique and continued to prod and lead the witness until they receive a partial identification," Cooper said. "A more flawed and unfair eyewitness confrontation process could not be imagined."

So, it's almost February. For many people, that means one month into your resolution for the New Year. I feel you all on this! I have been doing the Beachbody T-25 workout and it is kicking my booty!
Now, flash forward to maybe one of the other things you want to do this year- take your family to Disney.
Your eyes are as big as Mickey waffles- you are going to bed at night dreaming of a giant juicy steak from Yachtsmans Steakhouse, a bath tub of Cheddar Cheese Soup from Le Cellier, followed by the Kitchen Sink from Beaches & Cream Soda Shop.
But wait- what about that diet!?! This is a problem many guests face. Those souvenir-stuffed suitcases aren't the only baggage they are bringing home- there's a few extra inches around their waste as well.
There's no reason you can't satisfy BOTH of your resolutions, should that be something you choose.
Believe it or not, there are actually healthy options at Disney theme parks.
At Walt Disney World, you have all kinds of options. Imagine going to Crystal Palace for lunch. You can dine on turkey, a variety of salads, shrimp, and mussels. You can head to Epcot and taste some of the best tasting sushi you'll find in the United States at the Japan Pavilion, or even grilled veggie tacos at La Hacienda de San Angel. On top of that, there is fresh fruit located all over the parks, including food carts!
At Disneyland, you can feast on plenty of healthy options as well. At Cars Land, you can stop at Flo's V-8 Cafe and eat some of the best Veggie Tater Casserole you could ever imagine! Kids meals come with the option of grapes or carrot sticks. There's plenty of fish and chicken options throughout the park.
Unfortunately Disney is missing one final piece of the "Dreams Come True" piece- where your metabolism reverts back to your middle/high school years and you can eat whatever you please. The other thing you'll need to remember- you're going to be getting a lot of exercise... expect to walk at Walt Disney World! So go ahead- you are on vacation, go ahead and have a Dole Whip or two. Just don't go overboard, if you want to stick to your diet.
And the other resolution you may be interested in keeping? Keeping a little more money in your bank account? Well, you can go to Disney and not break the bank! Disney has all kinds of discounts they offer throughout the year, such as free dining. Right now, they are offering up to 30% on select dates.
Now, let's make those resolutions come true!

The winner of this year's Bowl Game Pick 'Em Challenge is none other than my dear friend Country. We won't speak about how I did in the standings.
Those of you who have read some of Country's exploits will no doubt already know why I love her. (I've often referred to her as the big-breasted younger sister I never had.) This is the woman who set me up on a blind date for her wedding with the infamous and amazing Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress (who, incidentally, still won't let me write about her).
But now, knowing that she is also the master of all football knowledge in the universe, how can you not think she's the perfect woman? I may hire her as a consultant for my fantasy football team next year.
Sorry guys: alas, she is already married, and to a man that can kick most of your asses. So you'll just have to dream of being so lucky. But don't worry, I'll give you just a hint of her beauty to set your fantasies off. (I had to scour through my old MySpace account to find this pic, so you fuckers better be grateful!)

Bethany Amos began her career as a hair stylist at a well known "Best of Boston" salon where she trained under Master Stylist Andrea Dagostino. Along with managing her own clientele, Bethany prepared models for photo shoots and traveled to New York to style hair for editors of several New York fashion magazines. Now working on the North Shore, Bethany makes her home at Aqua Salon in Beverly, Massachusetts.
"My passion for hair design keeps me up to date on the latest trends in the industry. I have taken advanced cutting courses with Matrix, coloring with Goldwell, and attended Bumble & Bumble University in New York to learn the latest styles utilizing razor and scissor cuts. I've recently trained in the Brazilian Blowout smoothing system, a revolutionary process that repairs damaged hair to leave it soft, shiny and frizz-free for up to 4 months.
I am thrilled to be working at Aqua Salon!

"Thank you so much Bethany for making my "thick and difficult to cut" hair look amazing! I have had many hairdressers over the years and no one has EVER been able to make my hair look like you can. Not only are you a master with a pair of scissors, you are fun to be around. The teaching tips on how to blow dry so I can change up the style was so helpful. Thanks again!

Embracing 31./
It's been a memorable 31st birthday so far, and it's only 11:30am. To me, a perfect birthday includes wonderful things like a trip to the farm... a new comfy tshirt...a bouquet of coral and magenta roses...and homemade pumpkin pie for breakfast. Hmm, pumpkin pie for breakfast? Don't mind if I do!
I awoke this morning, the first of my 32nd year, wrapped like a cocoon inside my down comforter. My husband had already risen, turned on the space heater, and was clinking things around in the kitchen. That's one of my favorite feelings...waking up early and hearing activity in the kitchen, the rustling of socks on the hardwood floors. As I rolled out of bed with eyes still plastered shut, I pondered the first important question of the day, Is my flat-ironed hair from my two-day-old haircut still salvageable? I walked groggily to the bathroom mirror to examine. Cowlick-free? CHECK. Kink-free? CHECK. Still shiny, yet not greasy? CHECK. I fluffed it a little and headed for the kitchen. It's going to be a good day.
Steven had already whipped up some eggs with ground turkey and brewed us some steaming hot Enfusia in the French Press. Ahhh. You probably never thought you'd hear this from the Baileys, but we haven't brewed coffee in months. Enfusia is now our comforting drink of choice...in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening. We can't get enough of it, especially with a bit of Vanilla Creme Stevia and coconut milk. Mmmm.
Armed with travel mugs, we left the house at 7:30am to embrace the chilly morning and head out to the farm where we go every Saturday to pick up fresh eggs, cream, milk, and other goodies like lettuce so beautiful it could be a bouquet. Full Quiver Farm is about an hour outside of Dallas in the small town of Kemp, TX...which is really not much of a town unless you count the smattering of antique shacks on the side of the road, "Hotties Tanning Salon," a Pennsylvania Dutch store, and some gas stations. But I so look forward to this mini-road trip each week, because it always teaches me more about simplicity...priorities...perspective...all things I'd like to learn more about as I celebrate another year of life.
The farm is operated by a sweet Mennonite family - a mother, Debbie, a father, Mike, and their nine children. Needless to say, with having such a large family and living off whatever they can grow on their patch of Texas land, they know a little bit about the simple life.
As soon as we pull up the gravel drive, Debbie always emerges out of her little farmhouse in her long dress, hair tied back simply in a covered bun, the wooden screen door clapping behind her. She is always full of vibrancy and joy as she talks about her family and the farm. For example, I've learned that their only reason to go to the grocery store is for salt, pepper, and oatmeal. And that they tried to go on a family vacation once, but they all couldn't wait to get back home to their farm and sit together in the pasture around a warm fire. This morning, she told me about her family's upcoming Thanksgiving feast (the same exact menu every year) and that there will be 37 guests with all her children and grandchildren. I love how I always leave the farm with more of a desire to live simply and confidently. And don't get me wrong, I love her happy chickens and their happy eggs, too.
Steven and I loaded up the coolers with all the farm-fresh goodies and headed home. We drove back holding hands with my head on his shoulder, and we talked about the cookout we're having tonight with some friends that will include the first backyard bonfire of the season. It's 45 degrees and overcast in Dallas and we're taking advantage of it. As we drove, I thought about all I had already experienced this day. What more could I want? I have everything I need.
When we returned home, the morning was still young, and I talked on the phone to my dear Suz, who sent me a book of inspirational quotes called Live Good for my birthday. I've been reading many of them over and over, but this one will not leave me:
~ Joan of Arc
There is so much more I want to say about this quote, but for now, I'll just say I've been pondering it, and it's deeply challenged me. What was I born to do? Today at 31, I feel as young as I did at 21. I feel energized when I think about the future and the days ahead. And more and more, as God shows me my purpose here, I'm shedding some of that fear. I'm more willing to live simply because it's not as scary to give things up. I'm finding that as I embrace the years, the years embrace me.

Top: Unravel
Shoes: Prada
Sunglasses: LGR
Bag: Paco Rabanne
I spent my day out and about Paris during an incredibly busy fashion week. I've quickly discovered one of my favorite jewelry brands is Art Youth Society, because of its simple decision and dainty elegance. I am already obsessed with their pieces and love the way they compliment any look. I decided to go about my day in this amazing Unravel top paired with these pants. Finished off with these Prada shoes and Paco Rabanne bag I was ready for what the day had to offer.

Another Wednesday. Whew, the month of September has whizzed by! Wednesday means a new challenge at Penny's Paper-Crafty! This is Challenge #146 and the theme is "Waterfall or Easel Cards." I worked with a real cutie named Heidi and she is by Little Miss Muffet. Here, take a peek!
She has a little spot of dust on her nose...poor Heidi!
We are hoping you make it over to Penny's this week! As always, we have 2 fantastic sponsors, the other being Limited Runs. We have lots of inspiration for waterfall cards on the Penny's blog. What an amazing card to make! As you see, I didn't do it! LOL
See you later this week! All my best to you...

A center stud finder starts similarly to an edge finder, but after detecting an edge, it will use multiple sensors to show you the center of the stud. Usually with a sound or a light.
Zircon's StudSensor i65 OneStep quickly and easily locates the edges and center of wood and metal studs and joists behind walls, floors and ceilings. Patented CenterVision technology finds the center of studs in a single pass. Its easy-to-read display screen indicates directions, edges and center of studs, while WireWarning detection indicates the presence of live AC voltage.
The Black & Decker BDL190S BullsEye Auto-leveling Interior Line Laser and Stud Sensor Combination Tool is an ideal tool for hanging pictures, detecting wood and metal studs, locating live A/C wires, and installing decorative items. Categorized as a class II laser, this laser level comes backed by a 2-year limited warranty.

The introduction of Flemish Bond Brickwork in the 17th century introduced not just strength, but a great aesthetic look to buildings. This bond was more often used on private buildings.
Flemish Bond
This is were alternate bricks are placed as header and stretcher in every course. Each header is placed centrally between the stretcher immediately above and below to maintain an even bond. Flemish Bond, bond like others, is rarely used today on new modern buildings and is more suited to garden walling and feature structures. It can be a very difficult bond to get to grips with because it requires great attention to detail.
You will notice in the graphic that i have highlighted the only cut you should have and is called a Queen Closer. This Closer is used with many 215mm wide walls, such as English Bond and Monk Bond. Setting out this bond can be very complicated when piers and angles are introduced into the design.
You will notice also that i have used the closer as a half, rather than a full slice down the middle of a brick. I have done this, because i have noticed that modern bricks tend to shatter a lot more and can lead to a lot of wastage. You can of course use a Masonry Bench Saw, this machine is a great aid to achieving very neat results, but these are expensive and not always allowed for in the budget.
There are many alternatives to how people seem to set out flemish bond on the same course when returning the course and have shown this in a series of images.
They do require some experience and i have written an article about masonry cutting machines and you can find it Here
In todays modern construction world, Flemish Bond is still used on buildings, but is mainly used as a half brick configuration and is a kind of a cheat. This means the wall is only 102.5mm wide and will require the need for half bricks, as well as Queen Closers.
The configurations for this bond are endless and will often require the use of a very skilled Bricklayer, they are few and far between today!

Voting is one of the surest ways for citizens to establish influence over elected officials. Because politicians are concerned primarily with the most vocal elements of their constituencies, groups of people who do not vote tend to receive less attention. This ultimately translates into less power for non-voters to affect the formation of public policy in accordance with their own private interests.
Elected officials attend to a great number of extremely important policy issues. These concern the distribution of social resources, the creation or nullification of laws and the limitations or restrictions that affect daily life. For young people just reaching voting age, such issues range in gravity from considering the legal drinking age to the government's ability to draft young men and women into the armed forces, the latter conceivably being a life or death proposition. Because politicians want to appear effective, and because they often desire re-election, they typically choose pathways that please the most people who will then re-elect them. Consequently, people who tend not to vote have limited influence.
On the other hand, lobbies that participate regularly and exert a collective will tend to receive large amounts of attention from policy makers. For example, the senior lobby wields considerable influence in Washington, because the elderly tend to vote and to have strong non-governmental organizations like the AARP to advocate for them. While voting does not guarantee that the policy a person supports will ultimately be adopted, not voting promotes no chance at all. Supporters of democracy insist that voting is one of the most cherished rights in a free society. To vote is to celebrate this way of life and to remember that it is denied many around the world. Voting is both a civic responsibility and a method of practicing awareness of access to political participation.


text: The software Schwarm is a constantly changing abstract composition running in real time. A collection of particles moves over a surface leaving behind overlapping traces. This results in a sequence of unique Images, whose development is unpredictable. The software analyzes a sequence of images using their color values at their origin, which it then spreads like a brush would spread paint. The paths taken by the individual lines are influenced by deterministic randomness. After a predefined amount of time a new image becomes the source of the composition and all values definining shape and direction of the movement are being reset. The transition between the images happens seamlessly and is barely perceptible watching the software in realtime. The photographs only serve as a source for color and composition. The main focus is the ephemeral nature of the ever-changing composition.

It's hard to believe but true. This classic 1986 Mercedes 560SL is in the perfect color combination, and yet you don't have to pay over $20k.
The 560SL is highly desirable because it's the full wish list in one car. These are elegant, powerful, comfortable, timeless and nimble classics. The now legendary R107 model designation are iconic because they represent an era when very few companies could build a convertible without worrying about safety regulations. Mercedes built their cars so robustly that the R107 exceeded these standards, and they did it elegantly without an unsightly roll bar. It was the go-to driver for celebrities, dignitaries, and the wealthy because the sleek lines hid a full size interior and usable trunk that was perfect for any road trip. The Astral Silver metallic paint on this one matches the silver wheels, and it is one of the few colors from the era that still looks modernly elegant today.
One of the best complements to the exterior paint is the interior color. Whether people see you on sunny days with the optional blue leather, or even when the blue fabric top is up, both of these highlight the kind of corresponding colors that are still being utilized by the finest carmakers today. Beyond just the perfect hues, this Mercedes is desirable because there's plenty of evidence of a pampered life. The carpets, dashboard, and wood grain center console basically show no signs of sun damage – a near impossible find in a classic droptop. The 560SL was one of the most expensive cars Mercedes offered during its reign, and so the features list is quite long. This includes conveniences such as air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power steering, cruise control, and the original AM/FM cassette player. Because this was built 1986, there are also more modern safety features than most R107s, such as anti-lock brakes, a third brake light and a driver's air bag. It comes with both the removable hardtop and folding soft top. You might have noticed the rear seats with seatbelts. This was not an option in the USA, and so it is a rare find on our shores.
The 560SL came with a big 5.6-liter V8 motor making 238 hp and 287 lb-ft of torque – more than the contemporary Rolls-Royces. On the road, an R107 has a chassis that is the perfect balance of elastic comfort in a tight-handling package. This was topped of with four-wheel disc brakes for the best all-around control. In total, the Mercedes SL is in a class all of its own. It has always been hard to define its competitors because no other car combines grand touring comfort in a quick and nimble machine so perfectly. This example has preserved the heritage and has averaged less than 2,800 miles per year since new. Just because this car has not covered nearly as much ground as its contemporaries does not mean it was sitting out on upkeep. In fact, this one comes with its maintenance records as well as the original window sticker, warranty card, and owner's manual.
It's hard not to get excited about complete timeless elegance for less than the price of just about any new convertible out there. But you're not the only one who sees this so it won't last long in our showroom. Call now!!

Well! This is interesting. Apparently, SWTOR is having double experience weekends! Isn't that interesting. Looks like I'll be spending some more time playing this weekend ... and the next ... and the next ... and the next. And they stack with your cartel market XP boosts as well! Who doesn't want 125% extra XP? (Cue the Capital One baby saying "No!")
Darth Hater is right when they state that this feeds the speculation that RotHC will drop sometime in April or May. Personally, I think it'll be the Tuesday after the last double XP weekend (April 9th). That's right! Write it down!

DNA from sex assault kit leads to charge against Cass County Jail inmate
FARGO — A Cass County inmate, initially jailed on a robbery charge, now faces a felony count of having sex with a 16-year-old girl after a match was made, authorities say, with his DNA and samples from a sexual assault kit from 2015.
Oscar Kayee, now 26, was 24 years old at the time of the alleged assault. He's charged with sexual assault by a person at least 22 years old who knowingly had sexual contact with a minor 15 years old or older.
Kayee also is awaiting trial on a felony robbery charge involving the use of a gun, according to Cass County District Court documents.
In the sexual assault case, the North Dakota State Lab notified a West Fargo police detective in late December 2017 that a DNA match from a sexual assault kit had been made to a DNA sample taken from Kayee at the jail, court documents said.
According to the documents:
Kayee initially denied recognizing a photo of the victim when interviewed by West Fargo police. However, when told that his DNA matched that in the sexual assault kit, he said he recognized her from a party.
Kayee said he and the victim had gone upstairs to a bathroom and she initiated sexual contact. He acknowledged he had sex with her.
However, in a police report taken Nov. 25, 2015, at Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, the victim said she was at the party and had been asked by three males to go upstairs to smoke marijuana. She then went to an upstairs bedroom, and they began assaulting her. She said she tried to leave and they would not let her.
The victim told police she didn't remember having sex, but that it felt like she did. She said the assault occurred from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. A friend of the victim, who was also at the party, told police that when she tried to get the victim out of the room, two other males stopped her, court documents said.

It's been a pleasure exploring Italy. Coming back to Belgium was so nice, but it needed some adjusting.
Rome was so hot, bright and sunny. Belgium is wet, cold and thunder-y. I tried to channel the good weather vibe in my eye of the day today.
All the eyeshadows used are MAC eyeshadows:
- "Texture" in the crease
- "Bronze" in the crease
- "Espresso in the outer corner
- "Coppering" on the lid
- "Honey lust" in the inner corner
I used my Essence liquid eyeliner and Essence mascara to finish off this look, as well as a white Essence eye pencil (review coming soon)!
I hope you like today's look. If you have more suggestions, let me know!
Thanks for reading! I hope you have a nice day!

a 2nd chance club holds first annual banquet
Page Content
The first annual a 2nd chance – An Empowerment Program – banquest was held on May 6, 2011 at the San Jacinto Campus.
MSJC student and SGA Senator Kenneth W. Prado is the founder and member of "a 2nd chance" club. The purpose of "a 2nd chance" is to provide support, direction, and inspiration to any student who wants to succeed in life.
"Some of us have been through hard times due to our own choices, or circumstances out of our control," Prado wrote. "Either way, we have made the life-changing decision to get up, dust off, and succeed. That is why "a 2nd chance" was born: to be a helpful pathway for success and to provide a hand for support. Good luck to all on your educational journey toward goals, and future accomplishments. I also have one more wish for all, and that wish is for you to fully realize the potential of that person inside of you who has been held captive for so many years, and that person is you!"

Dr. Popper Jump Q - The best dedicated jump cue in the world. Invented by Mark Dr. Popper Dimick, 2008 Artistic Pool Masters Champion
|About Mark "Dr. Popper" Dimick Home How to Use the Dr. Popper Jump Q Events and Appearances by Mark "Dr. Popper" Dimick Pool Cues Dr. Popper Jump Q Testimonials FAQs Contact Us
Introducing the Dr Popper Jump Q
"Jump to the Next Level" - - - - - - - - - - See it used on ESPN WORLD CUP OF TRICK SHOTS
Golf has its sandwedge. Now pool has the Dr Popper Jump Q!
This is not your average jump cue. The Dr Popper Jump Q's carbon fiber shaft, coupled with a solid phenolic tip, allows maximum energy transfer for those shots that you would otherwise pass up with any other jump cue.
The Dr Popper Jump Q allows you to jump over an object ball less than an inch away. Due to the Dr Popper's light weight, the cue ball will travel a more vertical trajectory, getting up and down in a shorter distance. Using the dart style method, allows you to jump balls anywhere on the table.
After two and half years of experimenting, we were able to put together an excellent jump cue. The smaller diameter shaft allows for even the smallest hand to control. The weight towards the tip end makes it easier to use. Like anything brand new, after we had tried it for awhile, we realized there were some amazing shots that could be done. We know after you try this cue, you will develop your own unique shots.

First Launch of flashlite application succesful!
While I cannot show the application I made for the company I work at, my first application produced for mobile phones was tested and it works! The app loads and plays videos, music, images, and flash animation. I basically hacked a bunch of things that I found together and reverse-engineered the script to work with the specifics I needed.
The application was tested on a variety of phones: The N90, N70, and 6682 from Nokia. The fact that flash lite is very flexible and accesible to flash developers means a new era for flash designers, animators, and programmers.
My next plan is to convert a number of top nomadtoons animated films to the new flashlite 2.0 format and make them available for download. It will be interesting to see how well these old classics do on a brand new media outlet.
I plan on putting a new link on the nomadtoons site for flashlite content pertaining to these films. Stay tuned.
