Where to Stay
Paris is a busy city, whatever time of year you visit. As with any capital city, this usually drives prices up slightly, however LateRooms.com has some great hotel deals for properties all over Paris, ranging from tiny B&Bs to sprawling hotels and unique apartments. In total you can find over 300 Paris Hotels at LateRooms.
During the month of August, the Parisians leave the city for their holidays, but the city remains busy with tourists. You may notice that some businesses shut down for at least one week during this month.
LateRooms Tip
- If you want to stay in the heart of Paris's cultural centre, then the accommodation in the 5th and 6th arrondissements provides easy access to all the major sites, while being fairly affordable.

How awesome is it to get to attend a genealogy class sitting at home. I have attended approximately ten webinars so far and I just love the convenience. If you are looking for a chance to learn a few new tricks I would subscribe to GeneaWebinars at http://blog.geneawebinars.com. This blogspot is put together by Myrt, DearMYRTLE (otherwise known as Pat Richley). Now I am sure that the blog's webinar listings do not include everything available in the world - Myrt certainly has round up a huge plethora of offerings. She lists upcoming webinars and archived webinars that are still available for viewing.
I like to keep an eye on Legacy and RootsMagic's webinars. Legacy has some wonderful speakers including Thomas MacEntee (he's the man), Dear Mrytle, Janet Hovorka, Leland Meitzler, and of course Geoff Rasmussen. RootsMagic offers a vast array of how to use their software webinars. There are many other organizations and companies that have offerings including Ancestry, Family Search, Relative Roots, and Dear Mrytle. Family Tree Magazine offers both free and paid webinars. Ancestry was quite a few archived webinars on an array of topics sure to interest you.
Don't forget to check out RootsTV at www.rootstelevision.com. for genealogy videos on several subjects. Look through the offerings and you'll see information on photos, scanning, citations, DNA and research to name a few.
YouTube also hosts genealogy videos. You can listen to Lisa Louise Cooke of Genealogy Gems, view organization videos, Google for genealogy, DNA information..there are just too many to mention. Check out the videos at www.youtube.com and enter genealogy in the search box to see what is available.

Nice looking, easy to walk in but...
"Love the style and it's very easy to walk in but around the big toe the material is ROUGH! Just that one spot by the big toe on both feet that is is quite rough. I've worn it twice [working 10hr days]. The second day I used corn cushions but that did not do much to alleviate the discomfort. Usually I get rid of shoes at the first sign of discomfort but I am hoping to find some kind of gel adhesive to put by the toe which will hopefully make the shoe anideal mix of style and comfort which does not have to be mutually exclusive."

Super Comfy!
"I use them while I'm in the gym and is great for running. Extremely lightweight, It is a little narrow and takes about 2 wears to fit your foot perfectly. I would definitely recommend to anyone that runs a lot. It is flexible and very breathable. These are the first pair of sneakers that I actually enjoy wearing and not just for working out. if you have to be on your feet for long periods of time, these shoes are great"

I liked most the stability of this board, even when you land super hot, feels super fast, but under control, unlike other boards that I've used, felt a bit ... not sure I know the right word, but perhaps woobly, and you feel a bit out of control, the hadlow makes you feel safe when you land a bit too hot in choppy water (my conditions), even with the tiny fins the board grips beautifully. I like to go fast, and this board is a monster, I really enjoyed ridding it.
Good luck with it.

Target, Wal-Mart: Big Boxes, Same Crap
For some time now, America-in-store-form Wal-Mart has been experiencing declining sales, despite its attempts to use all types of different items as hooks to lure shoppers back in. Great! But Target has problems too. Wherefore the big box store?
We're not even talking about Target's odious union-busting or generally soul-destroying work atmosphere! American shoppers don't care about those things. Americans care about cheap, tasty, artificial food and socks, in a soothing atmosphere. So, the WSJ reports, while broke but aspirational Americans are still going to Target to buy the necessities, they're not buying as many Michael Graves-designed towel racks and other faux-fancy shit, which were supposed to be Target's Killer App. Now, same-store sales are sluggish! The stock price is down! Perhaps Target was too nice to the poors?
Adrianne Shapira, retail analyst at Goldman Sachs, said Target has confused its shoppers by emphasizing food and low prices at the expense of its cool image...
These were good moves during the recession, but the pendulum may have swung too far, attracting more medium- and low-income shoppers at the expense of the higher-end shopper.
Ugh, low-income shoppers! Big mistake. That reminds me, I keep getting emails from Target employees about their work experiences in The Bullseye. Let's just drop one in here:
Long story short, I was basically thrown into the job with no training (my predecessor trained 3 months for this job, I got 2 days). I was constantly stressed because I was having trouble getting all the work done in my scheduled hours...and found myself constantly working off the clock to get caught up (this is due to the fact that I was written up for getting overtime my first week). I was constantly tired and did not enjoy doing the job...this caused me to sleep in and I started showing up late to work. When I was written up for being late, I told my manager that I didn't enjoy the job and felt I should go back to what I was doing. They told me that as soon as they could fill the job, I could go back. I continued to try to do the job but continually had issues getting to work. They wrote me up again...and again...and again...sometimes just weeks between each (though we're told we have time to improve).
It was also during this time that the Store Manager left the company all-together, and we got an all-new Store Manager and management team.
Finally, around February (well after the time I was to be done with it), the job was posted. The day it was filled, I came in and they took me into the office and fired me. I filed for unemployment...which was GRANTED...and they fought it through three appeals. Finally, the firing was deemed appropriate and I had to pay back unemployment I had received.
I now work at Walmart, and though some of my former Target team members "pity" me, I love it compared to my Target days. I've already received employee-of-the-month, and our store gives us HOUR-LONG lunch breaks for anyone working over 7-hours. I'm getting more hours and not being forced to do more work than one-person should.
I realize that it's retail and it sucks. There are still those fun scheduling moments...not to mention dealing with shitty customers...but I think working for the bigger company has some advantages over the contender trying to cut into it's market-share. The truth is Target tries so hard NOT to be Walmart...but it wants to be them so badly that it's almost worse.
Our motto when I worked at Target was "Expect More, Pay Less." The employees changed it to, "Expect More Work, Get Less Pay."
Target: less popular with employees than Wal-Mart. That may be a bad sign.

Also a note on the title, before we get started: the subtitles translate the word "charas" as opium; a friend in Delhi told me it means heroin; and the Oxford Hindi-English dictionary says it's a kind of resin-based preparation of cannabis. I'll just say "drugs" and be done with it.
Charas is fantastic. It's glorious, giddy, jam-packed but streamlined 70s masala. I am simultaneously incredibly grateful to have seen it and saddened by the knowledge that for each movie like this I see there is one fewer remaining to discover. Overall, Charas comes off as an action- and comedy-leaning masala with well-implemented touches of James Bond. Moralizing is all but absent; the movie is loosely about drugs, but here drugs are simply an illegal thing that smugglers export to Europe for cash rather than something evil masterminds are going to use to to enslave the innocent of India and bring the moral downfall of a culture. Drugs are a legal issue here, not an ethical one. Family drama, religion, and revenge are succinctly handled with some unusual spin and plenty of impact. There is no melodrama, but I didn't miss it one bit. All the usual masala ingredients are there, but they're in the service of...momentum, I guess I'd call it. It's like everyone involved—both the real people making the film and the characters in it—never forgot that they were trying to outwit each other before the clock ran out.
There is little about the plot that you couldn't guess—Ajit leads a group of smugglers in international drug-dealing and has blackmailed Hema Malini into helping him, and Dharmendra, the son of someone Ajit betrayed early in the film, becomes a police officer to stop him—and everyone involved in front of and behind the camera does their job expertly. It's the crew of of Charas who really deserve most of the praise that bubbled out of me while I watched the film. While the cast is very good (with Dharmendra adding that little something extra in some of his comedy and undercover bits), I think it's the crafting and assemblage of all the ingredients that make this film what it is. The other films written by writer/director Ramanand Sagar I've seen, Barsaat and Sangdil, do not at all indicate he'd be so good at creating something as fun as this. As much as I love the wackadoo and complications of Manmohan Desai, it's surprising to see something as full of goodies as Charas is that somehow remains lean. What follows is a list of what I think made the film so special.
|This isn't relevant to anything, but I had to include a shot of the best stationery ever.
|He's the lone person in khaki on the ridge; all the other police are in blue. But mostly I just liked all the diagonals in this shot.
Charas hosts some pretty spectacular musical numbers. Hema's character is a dancer (the subtitles keep calling her an actress, but we don't see any acting) who tours internationally, and she enters the film from the head of a sphinx in the wonderful Egyptian-themed number "Mera Naam Ballerina."
|The backing dancers play drums with their hair.
my list of Egyptian-based or -themed film songs). As if in retort to the good girl's big song, the villains have a nightclub in their property in Malta (where much of the action takes place), where we get two songs with Aruna Irani (playing Dharmendra's presumed-dead and kidnapped sister, who has been forced into the shameful life of a dancer [eyeroll]). This is one of the best nightclub sets ever, crammed to the gills (ha!) in all directions with sea creatures and fishing props.
As is completely sensible, the smugglers and police, spread over two continents, need to keep in contact, and there is a vast array of communications equipment. Both sides have bleeping, blinking control rooms full of knobs and switches (note the Maltese cross in the police room). Dharmendra has the classic shoe phone and officers Asrani and Keshto Mukherjee have tracking devices hidden various places, including a watermelon.
|I'm so pleased to say that this is not the only film I've seen that hides transmitters in melons (it also happens in Inkaar).
I still can't quite put my finger on what reminded me so much of James Bond in this film. No one is a spy, so I think it must have been the sunny European locales and the emphasis on the crime.
There is repeated (though brief) talk about female honor, and you know I always need to discuss that. Early in the film, Aruna is captured by Ajit's gang and forced to dance in their undersea nightclub; while there, she has discussions with the other principal dancer (Madhumati,who gets some awesome costumes) about the futility of worrying about honor once you've ended up in a place like this. Later Madhumati advises Aruna not to be ashamed of herself and to call her brother for help, not only for her own sake but for that of all the other girls who are forced into similar lives. Aruna falters, unable to admit what has become of her through absolutely no fault of her own, but Dharmendra is thrilled to see her and they have a wonderful bhai-bahin reunion. I must have seen other long-lost sister-brother pairs, but I can't remember any, and this was a nice change from brothers. (And now that I think about it, I'm realizing that the most important people to the hero are women. His work world is very male, but his emotional one consists only of women.)
Hema too is forced into this life of crime by Ajit; he says he has evidence that can either convict or acquit her of a long-ago murder.
|Bowls of fruit almost always lead to knife violence in masala films.
The villain treats women as he does drugs: capital. He talks about photographing girls while his men "molest" them and selling the pictures to Europe, but he does not do the molesting himself or surround himself with dancing girls who feed him grapes. It's another example of a villain who has no interest in the sensual pleasures of the crime he commits—he just wants the money or whatever advancement of his plans they can offer. Even these women's "honor" is a means to an end rather than, to borrow language from other films, a juicy fruit that he wants to savor himself. This is in no way to say that he's not such a bad guy after all. He is, but he is more simply pragmatic and greedy than he is debauched or threatening to moral order or integrity.
To end, here are a few other masala delights. The wardrobe crew of Charas was relatively restrained, but that doesn't mean the clothes are boring. No no no. There is a ton of plaid in this movie, mostly on Ajit's jackets, but Dharmendra has some too, including a head-to-toe plaid suit paired with Pucci-esque tie. Amjad Khan (as one of Ajit's gang) always appears in a ruffled tuxedo shirt and a giant plastic-y scar on the right side of his face. Often he wears a black jacket and tie, but for picking up a supply of drugs at the airport he chooses to wear a white jacket, red tie, and brown fedora. You know, keeping things low-key and inconspicuous. Asrani goes undercover as a hippie with lots of patches on his jacket and jeans; my favorite says ALL INDIA DRINKING TEAM. And Madhumati and Aruna get some nice dancing girl outfits; nothing too crazy, but how about this gold spangle-fronted top? Classy!
|Dharmendra is most seriously displeased.

|In response to Re: Garden water spigot where well is bored?
: :
: : My husband is in the process of installing a 3/4 horsepower -10 gallon pump into the new drilled well. He is learning as he goes and is vague to me (not sure) when I ask if we can have a water spigot out by the well to water a garden. He is putting in a new large pressure tank over about 75 feet away under a shed and says there will be a faucet there but I want one closer to where the garden will be . Can he put one where the water is coming out of the well and let the pump in the ground do its thing ? There is supposed to be plenty of water - 12 gallon a minute and water is only 43 feet down and it is 103 ft deep. Or will we have to bury a water pipe from the pressue tank to where the garden is. (Or deal with a hose forever?(hate it) Thank you for any advice-Lena
: You can put a yard hydrant in. Do you live somewhere that it freezes?
:Live where it barely freezes 30 degrees a few times a year but warms during the day always- people don't wrap pipes here as a rule but I could put some of insulating pipewrap on the water spigot and pipe. Is that the same as a hydrant? Thanks , Lena PS - love your "handle"

Heel Professional Lymphomyosot is indicated for the temporary relief of swelling due to poor circulation, minor injury and environmental toxins. Homeopathic Combination Medications But what exactly are homeopathic combination medications? In classical homeopathy, a single medication is prescribed based on the patient's physical and mental symptoms. At Heel Professional, they approach homeopathy in a new way. Their combination medications are made up of several different natural substances, mostly homeopathically prepared. These have been carefully chosen and blended to stimulate various biological functions. They are then used, just like conventional medications are, to treat one particular condition like the common cold or dizziness. History of Heel Professional "Plants derive their healing power from light". This simple statement, expressed in the Latin words "Herba est ex luce" and turned into the acronym Heel, is the starting point of what we mean with "healthcare designed by nature". Coined more than 70 years ago by our founding father, the name Heel now stands for a successful global company grounded in a strong history and with a clear vision for the future. Pioneering a new approach to natural healing Heel Professional was established by the German physician Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg (1905-1985) in Berlin/Germany in 1936. Immediately after completing his education at the renowned Charité Clinic he founded his own medical practice in 1932. Reckeweg was also a talented homeopath who recognized the need for effective and easy-to-use natural-based medicines to treat specific illnesses. Challenging many of the tenets of classical homeopathy, he combined homeopathic medications in new ways and introduced a comprehensive therapeutic system called Homotoxicology. Homotoxicology and homeopathic combination medications have formed our approach to healing as intended by nature ever since. Homeopathy for the 21st century Based on these innovations, we became the company that moved homeopathy into the 21st century. Our success was borne out by steady growth and global expansion. After the Second World War, the company re- located to Southern Germany. It eventually moved to its present location at Baden-Baden in 1963, where the central production plant and Headquarters are also located. In 1977, Heel became part of the DELTON AG, continuing its international growth at an exponential rate. The company presently has 10 international subsidiaries. About Heel Professional Welcome to one of the world's leading manufacturers of homeopathic combination medications. Heel Professional medications are designed to induce the natural healing mechanisms of the body. They are made of several different natural substances, mostly homeopathically prepared. Thanks to modern research program, Heel Professional are also a global player in the field of science-based homeopathic medicine. Taking a fresh look at healing processes What makes Heel Professional special is that we are constantly looking for innovative solutions to medical challenges: They combine homeopathic active substances to create easy-to-use medications. They have taken a good look at the origin and treatment of disease and developed a new way of thinking about it. They call our approach a homeotherapeutic system – following the principle of activating the body's self- healing processes to bring the organism back into its biological balance. They do not see homeopathy and conventional medicine as opposites, but instead have made it our job to build the bridge between them. Helping patients get well – as intended by nature Heel Professional's commitment is to help patients get well again, but thye don't see the body as just another "machine" to be fixed. Heel Professional medications are used in the framework of their unique therapeutic system in order to stimulate the body's own bio-regulating processes. Bringing natural-based medicine and science together Putting homeopathic healing properties on a scientific footing by modern state-of-the art research is important to Heel Professional.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Last week was just another typical week for the Emery High Lady Spartan basketball team as they went on the road for two games, scored 55 points in each which is about their season average and won both games. With the wins, Emery stays undefeated in region play and should stay ranked in the top five in 3-A basketball by both Salt Lake City newspapers.
The game in Draper against Juan Diego was anything but a game as the Spartans had their way in about anything they wanted to do from the outset of the game. Juan Diego, at least on this night, was anything but competitive as they only scored 14 points in the entire ball game. Fourteen points in the entire game with only two of those points coming in the second half of play.
After leading 28-12 at halftime, Emery's defense limited the Soaring Eagles to one point in each of the last two quarters of the game. It seems the Eagles were grounded this night.
Emery took a 17-5 first quarter lead behind Frankie Komar's eight points including a pair of 3-pointers. Jodi Robertson, after having scored four points in the first quarter added another four points in the second quarter to pace the Spartans. Emery then won the third period 16-1 and the fourth quarter 11-1 as a lot of players saw action.
For the game, Komar led the team with 15 points and with four assists. Robertson had 11 points and four rebounds. ShiAnne Allred scored five points, led the team with eight rebounds and had three steals. Abbie Kay scored seven points, pulled down six rebounds and also had three steals. Jessica Murray scored eight points, Tiffany Tuttle scored seven points and Brooke Jensen scored two points.
On Thursday, Emery escaped with a win against Delta. While no one can exactly explain why Delta is a such a tough place to play, Emery almost always struggles there and this game was no different.
Delta took command of the game almost from the opening tip-off and over the first four minutes hit five 3-pointers in a row with one guard hitting four of those. The only question to be asked is why was she still open and that will have to go unanswered. She was shut down defensively from this point forward.
Emery trailed 17-13 after the first quarter and 30-27 at the half. The biggest lead that Delta could muster was 7 points. At this point, it could be said and in fact Head Coach Steven Gordon did say, "Delta is playing out of their heads and we seem slow. We are playing just as we warmed up, lazy." Despite the efforts by each of the teams, Emery was still one basket away from leading the contest.
With Abbie Kay scoring six points, Emery took control in the third quarter and built a 10-point lead as they outscored the Rabbits 16-3 in the period. Robertson added another five points and played good defense against Delta's best offensive threat.
In the fourth quarter, Emery had an 11-point lead and the ball. Robertson seemed to be knocked to the floor and the ball stolen from her. I say seemed to be as no foul was called. Emery stole the ball back from Delta but was called for a foul sending a Rabbit to the line. An Emery captain asked a question of the official, was given a technical for talking and just like that Delta had themselves four free throws, which they made, and the ball back and a made 3-pointer and Emery now had a four point lead.
Emery went six for six at the free throw line in the final period with Allred hitting two in the closing minute to clinch the win.
Four Spartans finished the game in double figures led by Abbie with 16 points. Abbie was four for four at the line and scored six baskets. Abbie also had five steals in the game. Frankie scored 12 points, including a pair of 3's, had five rebounds, four steals and three assists.
ShiAnne scored 10 points and added six rebounds while Jodi also scored 10 points and had three steals. Jessica scored six points and had six steals.
Emery will travel to Carbon Tuesday night and will host North Sanpete Thursday night.

U.S. Newswire July 25, 2001 Wednesday
WASHINGTON, DC The innovative partnership that the Leawood Police Department, Kansas developed with their local community is highlighted in a new Justice Department publication on community policing. The partnership was developed to engage the Leawood community to fight residential burglary. Police community partnerships are a core component of community policing.
A new report entitled, "Problem-Solving Partnerships: Including the Community for a Change," was recently released by the Justice Departments Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. In this publication, seven police agencies including the Leawood Police Department were selected from more than 400 agencies across the country. The Justice Department report identifies this successful partnership as a model for other police departments across the nation.
This new publication describes Leawoods strategy to respond to residential burglary. After a careful analysis of crime data, Leawood police targeted burglaries in five neighborhoods. Through partnerships formed with homeowners associations, officers convened meetings and recruited citizens for a neighborhood watch and a neighborhood alert telephone system. This coordinated strategy has reduced residential burglaries by 43 percent.
Promising law enforcement practices of the top seven model cities are posted on the COPS home page at www.cops.usdoj.gov. For more information, please call the COPS office at 202-616-1728.

A Demon Lord spirited the Princess away, and cursed her with eternal sleep. Countless knights sought to save her, only to die in vain by the Demon Lord's hands. But then, a Nameless Knight arrived to vanquish him and save the Princess, ignorant of what fate had in store for him...

It's actually an Korean Manhwa Webtoon, but it's categorized as a seinen, so here it is . This story might be pretty confusing, but it's worth the read, not to mention the art is really good and there might be a sequel to it. It bases on Norse mythology, but don't look too much into it ;P. I think that this is pretty complete, unless the second part (if it appears) will be under the same name. Anyway, enjoy .

If you haven't started taking your houseplants in, you should do it soon. Night temperatures in the 40s and 50s can damage tropical plants. There are a few things to consider before putting your plants back inside, though.
Inspect your plants thoroughly for disease and insects. It would have been best to start a few weeks before you plan to bring them inside to have time to solve any problems that may exist.
However, you don't have that time luxury now.
Fall is definitely here, and many Washington County residents will be enjoying the Sorghum Festival along with the Washington County Fair exhibits this weekend.
Dry weather conditions in many parts of Kentucky this past summer may have resulted in grazed pastures with areas of thin vegetative cover and bare soil.
Many of these areas already have evidence of weedy vegetation, such as common ragweed and other summer annuals.
As these plants die back naturally, cool-season weeds will sprout: chickweed, henbit and purple deadnettle will fill the voids.
Other weeds such as buttercup and musk thistle will likely be more prevalent in the next spring.
Article from Dr. Ray Smith, University of Kentucky College of Aquiculture
Overseeding of pastures is an excellent management tool that improves pasture production, forage quality and ensures a good ground cover the following year without major pasture renovations.
Overseeding consists of planting seed in a field with existing grass cover in order to fill in bare patches and thicken the stand.
It can be done over the entire pasture or limited to trouble areas.
The Kentucky Master Gardener Program is set to begin at the Washington County Extension Office on Monday Sept. 8, 2014 at 1 until 4 p.m.
We will meet on the following Mondays from 1 until 4 p.m.: Sept. 8, 15, 22, 29; Oct. 6, 20; Nov. 10, 17, 24 and Dec. 1. We will also have an all-day trip to Lexington to be scheduled once class begins. The Kentucky Master Gardener Program is a 14-week program taught by Horticulture Extension Agents and University of Kentucky Specialists.
Over the next several weeks, the Kentucky State Fair and 4-H leaf collections will be two of the major on-going projects for Washington County 4-H.
As I write this column, I am getting ready to load the car to take 4-H projects to the fairgrounds to be judged. On Thursday, our 4-H country hams cured in our new ham house will be judged, and the 4-H members will present their prepared speeches.
A new school year is here, and it's a great time to join 4-H, the nation's largest youth organization.
This week, many Washington County students may have picked up an enrollment form to join or rejoin 4-H for the 2014-2015 school year.
Each fall, youth must fill out a 4-H enrollment form indicating what activities or clubs they wish to participate in for the coming year.
Enrollment forms may be returned to the extension office or to homeroom teachers to be picked up by 4-H.
If you are trying to get your fall garden started, you have probably run into a problem.
You need to harvest your onions and potatoes but now wonder what in the world you are going to do with them to keep them from spoiling before you eat them.
Well, you are not alone. I have the same problem. I usually store them as best as I can and take my losses, but there are some things that can be done to increase the storage time for these vegetables.
With potatoes, there is one thing to keep in mind.
The stable fly is a blood-sucker that looks like a house fly but has a piercing-type mouthpart that projects forward from the front of its head.
Males and females feed on warm-blooded animals and humans, usually around the lower leg or ankles. They will also attack dogs, biting them mostly on the ears.
Stable flies are not limited to barns and stables; they will rest around houses and attack people, too. Stable flies are strong fliers; they can cause problems at least two miles from their breeding sites.
One of the largest fears for many people is public speaking.
Over the years, hundreds of Washington County youth have learned to conquer that fear through the 4-H Talk Meet program held in cooperation with the local schools.
For three Washington County youth this summer, they were able to take their public speaking skills to an even higher level with their participation in the State 4-H Communications Day.

(ESPN says that due to a transcription error, how Notre Dame's Manti Te'o felt he played in the BCS title game loss to Alabama was misrepresented in an earlier version of their story. Te'o told ESPN he was not affected by the story surrounding a girlfriend hoax during the game. USA TODAY Sports has updated this story with ESPN's correction.)
Days after a Deadspin report revealed the death of his girlfriend and her very existence to be a hoax, former Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o denied being a part of the scheme.
"There is no way I could be a part of this," Te'o told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap in an exclusive interview late on Friday evening.
According to ESPN, Te'o sat down for a 2.5-hour interview which was recorded but not filmed. During that conversation with Schaap, Te'o said he did not learn until two days ago that Lennay Kekua did not exist.
It was then that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, who had been widely reported to be the one perpetrating the hoax, contacted Te'o to tell him he was behind it. Schaap said Te'o showed him Twitter messages between the two to support that.
ESPN released the details of the Te'o interview slowly early Saturday morning as the Oklahoma City-Dallas NBA game went to overtime.
COMPLETE COVERAGE: Read every story on the Manti Te'o hoax
Deadspin first reported on Wednesday that Kekua's existence was a hoax allegedly perpetrated by Tuiasosopo. Te'o said he first met Tuiasosopo, who he believed to be a cousin of Kekua's, after Notre Dame's win over USC on Nov. 24.
Deadspin reported the 22-year-old California man was at least a family friend of the Te'os. Alema Te'o, Manti's uncle, confirmed that the family knew Tuiasosopo on The Zone Sports Network on Thursday.
"I hope he learns," Te'o told ESPN of Tuiasosopo. "I hope he understands what he's done. I don't wish an ill thing to somebody. I just hope he learns. I think embarrassment is big enough."
Te'o told ESPN that he met Kekua on Facebook during his freshman year at Notre Dame. The two became closer following the Purdue game in his junior season, Schaap said, and "became inseparable via phone" following a car accident Kekua was part of April 28.
Te'o characterized it as a deep, spiritual connection. He relayed that he and his parents would discuss scripture daily via text message with the person they thought to be Kekua.
TE'O: Were hoax details based in fact?
Te'o revealed to Schaap in the interview that he lied to his father about having met Kekua. Brian Te'o had previously told the South Bend Tribune that his son had met Kekua after a Stanford game. In a press conference on Wednesday, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick characterized the relationship as one that occurred solely online and on the phone.
Te'o said he tailored answers to questions about Kekua to make it seem as if they had met because of how he thought the relationship would be perceived.
"I even knew that it was crazy that I was with somebody that I didn't meet," he said. "And that alone people find out that this girl who died I was so invested in, and I didn't meet her as well."
According to Te'o, he tried to speak with Kekua via Skype and FaceTime. Whoever was on the other end wasn't seen.
Evidence of the hoax first came to light in early December, months after Te'o said he believed Kekua had died. Swarbrick, who spoke to the media after the Deadspin story was published, said Te'o received a call Dec. 6 while in Orlando for ESPN's College Football Awards show.
The call came from a number Te'o believed to be Kekua's and the voice of the woman on the other line resembled the one Te'o thought was hers.
REPORT: Tuiasosopo admitted to Te'o hoax
On Friday, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported that whoever was acting as Kekua said she faked her death to evade drug dealers and tried to resume the relationship – something that was confirmed by Te'o in his interview later that night.
He notified Swarbrick of the hoax on Dec. 26 and spoke to the AD for nearly two hours the next day. The school hired an investigative firm, which released its findings to the school on Jan. 4. The Te'o family received the info on Jan. 5, just two days before the Fighting Irish's 42-14 loss to Alabama in the BCS National Championship.
ESPN initially reported Te'o said that a woman claiming to be Kekua showed up with a group of people at the team hotel before the BCS National Championship, but it later removed the detail from its story. ESPN also initially reported that the linebacker said the saga did affect his play in the game, a 42-14 loss in which Te'o uncharacteristically missed several tackles. But ESPN has corrected that to say Te'o said he was not affected.
Details of Kekua's biography, including a car accident and battle with leukemia, seemed to be borrowed from events in Tuiasosopo's life.
Jazmine Lutu, a female cousin of Tuiasosopo who is in her early 20s, was diagnosed with leukemia in August, according to a post on the Facebook page of Titus Tuiasosopo, Ronaiah's father and Lutu's uncle. Lutu confirmed to USA TODAY Sports on Friday that she is still battling cancer before declining to discuss her family further.
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo himself was involved in a car accident on March 23, an officer with the California Highway Patrol confirmed. That came a month before Kekua's supposed accident on April 28, a date provided by Te'o to Sports Illustrated following her death.
In his press conference on Wednesday, Swarbrick emphatically supported Te'o – a player who became the heart of the team as he finished the year as the Heisman Trophy runner-up and led Notre Dame to a 12-0 regular season.
"We believe based on our investigation and based on four years of experience that Manti's the victim of this hoax," Swarbrick said on his podcast, which was published on Friday. "I don't think you spend that much time with a kid and then the first time's there's a challenge, not continue to offer that support. I do it both because of the way I feel about him and my knowledge of him over four years. But I also do it because of the evidence we have available to us.
"Everything I have access to right now does nothing to shake my belief in Manti."
According to Swarbrick, the family had planned to release the story on Monday.

If my memory serves me right, there's nothing like that in the manga. Probably, I was just expecting too much. Also a matter of opinion. I say, give it a try.
