Part 5. Collection of Taxes
Chapter 2. Collection Generally
Section 2611.1
2611.1. Discharge of accountability. Any county department, officer or employee charged by law with the collection of any county tax assessment, penalty or cost, license fees or money owing the county for any reason, that is due and payable, may file a verified application with the board for a discharge from accountability for the collection of the tax assessment, penalty or cost, license fees or money owing the county for any reason if the amount is so small as not to justify the cost of collection or if collection enforcement is impractical.

Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) cause raised and oozing sores or blisters. When these sores erupt on or close to the lips or inside the mouth, they are commonly called cold sores or fever blisters. In most cases, these facial sores are caused by the HSV type 1 (HSV-1) strain. Herpes infections can also affect the genitals. These sores are usually caused by another herpes strain, HSV type 2 (HSV-2). However, both strains of the virus can cause sores in any part of the body. Herpes simplex viruses can involve the brain and its lining to cause encephalitis and meningitis. In the newborn, herpes viruses cause severe infections along with brain, lung, and liver disease as well as skin and eye sores.
The herpes virus is very contagious. It can be spread from one child to another or from parent to child through direct contact with a herpes sore or by contact with the saliva of someone with the infection (eg, through kissing). In athletes, especially wrestlers and rugby players, the virus can be transmitted during the physical contact of competitive events. The genital form of the infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Babies can be infected during the birth process. The incubation period of these infections averages 6 to 8 days.
When your child develops a herpes infection for the first time (primary HSV infection), mouth sores, fever, and swollen, tender lymph glands are the most common symptoms, usually seen after swelling and reddening of the gums. These sores slowly heal over 7 to 14 days. During a herpes flare-up, children develop 1 or 2 sores around the mouth. In some youngsters, however, the symptoms are so mild that no one is even aware that an infection is present.
After your child's initial herpes infection occurs and has run its course, the virus itself will remain in the nerve cells of his body in an inactive or dormant (latent) form. He will be a carrier of the herpes virus for life. From time to time, the virus may become active again (sometimes in response to cold, heat, fever, fatigue, stress, or exposure to sunlight), causing a return of a cold sore (secondary HSV infection). These outbreaks often begin with a tingling or itching sensation in the area where the sores are about to break out. The sores and blisters often become crusty before healing.
When the genitals are affected, the herpes lesions are found on the penis, vagina, cervix, vulva, buttocks, or other nearby parts of the body. As with the oral sores, someone with genital herpes may have repeated outbreaks over a lifetime. When an HSV infection occurs in newborns, it tends to develop in the first few weeks of life. The baby becomes infected while passing through the birth canal. The virus attacks the liver, lungs, and central nervous system as well as the skin, eyes, and mouth. This is a life-threatening infection that can lead to permanent brain damage or even death.
Herpes simplex viruses also cause encephalitis, an infection of the brain. Children with encephalitis have fever, headache, irritability, and confusion. Seizures are common. Herpes simplex type 2 often causes a mild form of meningitis that does not cause long-term problems or brain damage.
Serious herpes infections, such as those affecting newborns or the brain, will require hospitalization and intensive care. Superficial infections of the mouth can usually be treated at home. After a few days, most cold sores will go away on their own. During the outbreak, prevent your child from scratching or picking at the sores.
When your child has a cold sore, make him as comfortable as possible. Avoid foods and drinks that irritate the sores. Help prevent dehydration by giving him extra fluids. Apple juice will cause less irritation than drinks such as orange juice or lemonade that are more acidic.
If your child develops signs and symptoms of a first herpes infection, contact your pediatrician. If your youngster has fever, swollen glands, or trouble eating because of mouth sores, your pediatrician may suggest an office visit. Watch your child for dehydration and call your pediatrician if you are concerned about this. Keep in mind that most cases of herpes do not cause serious illness. If your teenager develops genital herpes, contact your pediatrician to arrange for a visit. An antiviral medicine can speed healing.
If your newborn develops a rash, fever, or irritation of the eyelids or eyes in the first month of life, contact your pediatrician immediately. The doctor will probably want to examine the baby in the office or emergency department. If your infant, child, or teenager has a seizure or fever, headache, and confusion, contact your pediatrician without delay.
Your doctor will usually diagnose a herpes infection through visual examination of the sores. Laboratory tests are available and can be used to confirm the diagnosis, although they are not always necessary. In these tests, a tissue scraping of the sores may be examined under the microscope, or a blood test is given. In the case of brain infection, an electroencephalogram (EEG) and imaging studies may be done to help with the diagnosis. In addition, a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) will be done to examine the spinal fluid for signs of infection. Newborns will have a variety of tests performed to look for evidence of viral infection of the brain, lungs, and other organs.
If your child complains of pain and discomfort related to the sores during a herpes outbreak, talk to your pediatrician about giving him acetaminophen. Your pediatrician can also prescribe a number of antiviral medicines, such as acyclovir, for HSV infections. These prescription drugs keep the virus from multiplying and, if given early, reduce symptoms and heal the sores more rapidly. Sometimes special numbing liquid, prescribed by your pediatrician, can be applied to the mouth sores to relieve pain. However, most children with oral herpes outbreaks are not given these medicines because they recover quickly on their own.
Antiviral drugs can be lifesaving for newborns with the infection, as well as for older children with more severe infections such as in and around the brain and children whose immune systems are weakened because of an HIV infection or cancer treatments. Antiviral drugs are used more frequently for genital herpes and may be prescribed for the first genital outbreak.
Antiviral drugs can be given continuously to prevent outbreaks from returning. However, there is limited information about the success of long-term therapy in children. In adults with frequent genital herpes outbreaks, an antiviral is given continuously for a year to decrease the outbreaks.
While most cold sores are uncomfortable and may be cosmetically unattractive, they are usually not a serious problem. Most outbreaks run their course in several days and have no lasting effects.
When herpes infections affect newborns, they can be more dangerous. They can cause serious illness and sometimes death, even when appropriate medicines are given. In older children, a form of encephalitis can develop and must be treated effectively to avoid long-term neurologic problems such as seizures and weakness. The mild form of meningitis caused by HSV-2 infections usually goes away in a few days to a week.
To prevent the spread of HSV, your child should avoid contact with the sores of someone with an outbreak. Remember that many people will have the virus in their saliva even when sores are not present. Do not allow your child to share eating utensils or drinking glasses with others. In most cases, your youngster can attend school with an active infection, but your pediatrician may suggest keeping him home if he has a primary outbreak.
Sexually active teenagers should use a latex condom during every sexual experience.

I have just completed the TEFL (Teaching English as a foreign language) through i-to-i
I'm currently not looking to teach abroad just yet I have instead opted for teaching here in the UK.
I have been in contact with a few schools etc in my area and some have come back saying the following:
According to the British Council guidelines on qualifications and the following criteria need to be met.
1. Be externally validated by a reputable examination body (usually a university or recognised examination board)
2. Contain at least six hours' supervised teaching practice.
3. Contain at least 100 hours of ELT/TESOL input.
I'm getting worried now as I think now that most of the centres, schools in my area are going to be asking for this
CELTA, Trinity cert.
How many or what qualifications are the real ones?
Does this mean I am going to have to go out study again just so I can meet the red tape and politics?
It has left me feeling undervalued by this and worried that the i-to-i qualification is only validated abroad.
If this is the case I'm going to have to start all over again that's another £900
Please any advice on schools in the surrey or areas I can teach which don't hold so many grudges against those of us who have studied are backsides off online.
Or any establishments where I can qualify properly.
And I've been left to feel that just because it's online it's not as recognised or even to the standard of what the British council recommends
And any other useful pieces of advice....
I look forward to receiving some clarification on the matter.

Well it started mid summer with a conversation about things we used to do at work. Turns out two of us used to duck hunt in our younger years. We ended up with an agreement that he would buy and train the dog and I would take on the boat purchase. After that I did what any smart renewed duck hunter would do... search the web for duck hunting locations. I had previousley hunted on a lease and that we to be out of the question. Damn those things are expensive. Through my search I found this particular sight and ended up going through a couple of threads. Put out some feelers and was able to get in contact with some people that were willing to put a blindfold on me and point me at least in the right direction. I get that people try to keep their secret location locked up tighter than fort knox, i have some now that will take waterboarding to get them out of me.
So a boat was purchased a blind was built. A dog was purchased and sent off for training. Then was the beginning of trying to aquire everything needed to be successful hunters. 12 doz decoys between the two of us. Mojos, full chokes, adv max 4 everything so on and so on. We scouted places we figured would be holding ducks prior to the season with no luck. Our first hunt was to a wma and aside from a gator keeping us company there was nothing to be seen. It makes it fun picking up decoys in water you cant see more that 6" into knowing there is a gator in there much bigger than yourself. From there it was to the place that we knew would have ducks, the coast.
Asking around at work for other duck hunters and people that i knew were big time fishermen we found a spot on the coast. With help from someone on here we were again given a place to start searching. Putting the boat in we drove out and settled into a location not to far out. We saw the ducks and knew it was only a matter of time. Bam!!! A plane goes over spooks them all up and we had about 10 min of hundreds of ducks coming into our decoys. I had never seen anything like it. That was it we were back in love with duck hunting. A few more trips to the coast and we found a location through some research. We were able to find a place within 1 1/2 hours drive from the house. It wasnt the best hunting but it was still hunting. The dog came back from training in time for our last hunt of the season. A thing of beauty to see a dog working properly.
I will chalk this season up as a learning and preparing season for next year. Going to be out scouting out locations but I know have a pretty good grasp of places that will hold ducks. Id like that thank the guys on here that gave me the info and help that they did. Id also like to thank them for not giving me too much. There is a certain pride knowing that you may of beent taken to the waters edge but you are the one who got in and saw hold cold it was.
For those that are going to be taking on a rookie season of their own I wish you the best of luck. It would be much MUCH cheaper for you to just get a guide a few times a year and let them do all the work for you. But if your like me and want to go it on your own setting up roots now for when you boys come of age go for it. Id find a partner who is willing to go in with you. And you decide the boat or the dog, from there you need to.....

text: You have to wait until the following week to replace them. You have until the end of Sunday (I think it's around 2ish am EDT Monday morning or something like that) to make your roster changes for the week. After that, you can't make any changes for any reasons. They would release and pick-up players daily to maximize the # of players that they would have playing each day. The strategy is to have more players playing than your opponent. The result was that there would be a large # of players on waivers at any given time, so if you did have to pick-up a player due to an injury, your pickings were pretty slim and if you wanted to pick up anyone half decent, you'd have to waste a waiver claim on them and not get to use them until they cleared. Personally, I very much dislike that type of play. I have enjoyed weekly lineups in previous leagues that I've been in. The biggest downside is the aforementioned injury issue. Limiting roster moves and going with daily lineups would be another option, but IMO, the limit would have to be pretty low in order to really eliminate "Tatering" as an option. At the end of the day, I'm still going to play regardless of the rules we decide to go with, those are just my 2 cents.

Greetings everyone! long time no post (sorry about that). Activities in my life have made a fatal flaw and given me two seconds to continue work on my Fett costume. So with that being the case I need some die hard fact from those that I have come to highly respect .you folks!
The project that I need to complete first is my custom backpack. I am hoping to make it out of Sintra as it is the easiest to work with. My questions then are as follows.
1. Does anyone know where I can buy sheets large enough to shape two halves out of that is in or will ship to Colorado?
2. I need this backpack to be sturdy but light as possible, so what thickness should I be concentrating on. (By sturdy I mean, strong enough to lie on without cracking.)
3. At what temperature does Sintra begin to deform after it has been shaped? I am planning on being in an environment where the ambient temperature can be 105 degrees.
Well so far those are the questions I have. I very much appreciate your help in this area as I would like to locate the appropriate Sintra and get to work ASAP. All of you here do fantastic work and I want to thank you for being part of this amazing resource.

CLEVELAND ABDUCTION TO KC CLOSET: The Cleveland abduction case in which three women were locked away for a decade before being finally liberated this week brings with it questions about how this can happen, for so long, without anyone noticing? But they happen more often than we care to acknowledge. Just this past week, the files on a 10 year-old Kansas City girl locked in a closet for years are finally released by the state. The files reveal how a whole community including neighbors, school and social service workers missed repeated opportunities to rescue the girl who was forced to live in her own urine and feces. The 10 year-old known as LP weighed just 26 pounds, the size many babies reach at 18 months.
OTTAWA HOMICIDES: Sometimes citizens aren't willing to take no for an answer and are willing to press forward with their gut feelings. In Ottawa, KS this week, it took the relentless pursuit of friends and not the police to uncover what ultimately turned out to be a triple homicide. This ongoing crime story has brought with it a number of bigger public policy questions including controversy over when law enforcement should trigger an Amber Alert.
MISSOURI PASSES FIRST INCOME TAX REDUCTIONS IN 90 YEARS: Big cuts in corporate and personal income tax rates are sent to the Governor's desk. Missouri lawmakers also approve a new 50% deduction in business income reported on individual tax returns. The tax cut could reduce state revenue by an estimated $700 million a year. Is the move simply a game of catch-up with Kansas? And will the Governor sign the cuts into law?
SHOULD TEACHERS BE GRADED ON A YEARLY BASIS AND THOSE THAT FAIL BE FIRED? Wealthy St. Louis businessman Rex Sinquefield is actively pushing a statewide measure that would do just that after an effort in the Missouri legislature to impose yearly evaluations on teachers narrowly fails. The bill would have assigned teachers one of four ratings: highly effective, effective, minimally effective or ineffective. At least 33% of the evaluation would be based on the academic achievement and growth of students.
SHOCKINGLY LARGE PROPERTY APPRAISALS DROP INTO MAILBOXES: In Jackson County, some of those home appraisals were 5 times as high as last year's. The Kansas City Star reported on one resident who saw her 3-bedroom home on the rolls at $48,000 last year be appraised at $229,000 this year. Roughly 70,000 Jackson County residents are getting the new appraisals delivered through their mailboxes this week.

Economic Activity in the Southeast
December 6, 2010
Moderator: Welcome to Southeastern Economic Perspectives, an occasional podcast from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. I'm Jean Tate and the following comments discuss economic activity in the Southeast. Michael Chriszt, an assistant vice-president responsible for the Regional Economic Information Network, joins me.
Thanks, Mike.
Michael Chriszt: Thank you, Jean.
Moderator: Economic activity in the region appeared to slow over the summer. Have conditions improved over the last couple of months, and what's the general outlook?Chriszt: Jean, that's a really interesting point. We're looking at the numbers coming in from the spring and what our business contacts were telling us, and there was a definite sense of optimism, growing optimism, in the spring and early summer, and that really started to taper off in summer and early fall. And what we've seen over the last couple of months is general stabilization, I think, is the best way we can describe it. Another way that I've described it in the past is to say that I think we've all breathed a collective sigh of relief that the whole idea that the economy was slowing down and approaching another recession has been taken off the table. I think people are much more confident going forward.
That said, I'd still characterize us as being in more of a stabilization mode. The economy in the Southeast, based on what our business contacts are telling us and some of the data that's out—actually we have October employment data came out today and showed that the states in the Sixth District added close to 30,000 jobs in October—not a stunning rate of growth and employment, but positive nonetheless. So I think this theme of stabilization is one that I would use to best describe what is happening in the last couple of months.
Going forward, I think this is the theme that we're likely to see moving into 2011—slow growth, continued stabilization in some of the areas of the economy in the region that have been quite weak—construction and manufacturing, for example. But slow growth in such sectors as leisure and hospitality and business services, we expect that to continue going forward.
Moderator: Well, going back to the employment numbers, when you mentioned the slow growth and other employment indicators, can you talk a little bit about what the outlook is for the employment growth? Are there any specific sectors that are looking better than others?
Chriszt: Health care definitely. When we look back at the recession, health care services was one area of the economy in the Southeast, and in the country as a whole, that didn't lose any jobs, they kept right on growing. As a matter of fact, if you go back to the point when the national recession began in December of 2007, health care jobs in the Southeast have grown by close to 12 percent since December of 2007, and there's really no other sector that even comes as far as that goes.
Leisure and hospitality has been one of the brighter spots over the last several months. Despite the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, we have seen some tourism-related employment increase (close to 2 percent) in the Southeast over the last several months. Business services, professional business services have increased about 2 percent. And, actually, retail spending and logistics are a couple of other areas of the economy that are doing a little bit better.
Moderator: So let's talk a little bit about housing and construction. Nationally, construction is kind of lagging still. Is that the case in the Southeast as well?
Chriszt: Unfortunately, yes. We just conducted our latest survey of homebuilders and Realtors throughout the Southeast, and they're telling us once again that they are seeing a deceleration in already very low sales activity. There's very little new construction that is under way. The real estate sector continues to work out of some very serious problems, and that's of course spilled over into the financial services as well. We talked a minute ago about employment. Financial services employment is down in the Southeast over 13 percent over the last couple of years. And other sectors of the economy are starting to add jobs very slowly, but financial services is one that hasn't stopped declining as far as job losses go.
But the broader message with regard to real estate is that we are seeing ongoing weakness in sales and construction on the residential side and also on the commercial side, some very soft markets there as well, so very high vacancy rates and low levels of construction in commercial.
Moderator: Well, another indicator that people often look at are holiday sales, and as we come up on the holiday season, can you give an outlook for retail sales? Are consumers expected to be as cautious as they were last year?
Chriszt: I think cautiousness is one of those themes that we keep on coming back to, and it's probably what we're going to see over the holidays. That said, when we compare spending expectations to very low levels in 2008 and 2009, 2010 is expected to be above those very low levels of activity. Our retailers that we talk to in the Southeast are modestly optimistic with regard to holiday sales. The National Retail Federation does an Annual Holiday Sales Expectation Report, and they are predicting that holiday sales will be up about 2, 2.5 percent this year over some very low levels last year.
But I think consumers are being very cautious, they're being very picky, looking for deals and sales. And I think that when you open up your newspaper this Thanksgiving, you're going to see a lot of fliers that are vying for consumers' attention, even more than we have seen in the past several years.
Moderator: Thanks for talking with me, Mike.
Chriszt: Always a pleasure, Jean.
Moderator: Again, we've been listening to Atlanta Fed research team member Michael Chriszt provide insight into the Southeastern economy. This concludes our Southeastern Economic Perspectives podcast.

- Beverages: Wine, liquor, beer, and all of your favorite beverages are permitted in your checked baggage. You can also bring beverages packaged in 3.4 oz or less bottles in your carry-on bags in the 3-1-1 baggie. Sometimes there's a fine line between a beverage and hazmat.
- Makeup: Any liquid makeup cosmetics such as eyeliner, nail polish, liquid foundation, etc., should be placed in the baggie. That goes for perfume as well. Powder makeup is fine.
- Deodorant: Stick deodorant is not limited to 3.4 oz or less, but gel or spray deodorant is.
- Some Snow Globes are Permitted Now: TSA now allows small snow globes in carry-on luggage when packed in a passenger's plastic 3-1-1 bag. Snow globes that appear to contain less than 3.4 ounces (approximately tennis-ball size) will be permitted if the entire snow globe, including the base, is able to fit in the same one clear, plastic, quart-sized, re-sealable bag as a passenger's other liquids.
- Gel Inserts for shoes are now permitted.
- Foods: Cakes, pies, bread, donuts, turkeys, etc., are all permitted. Here is a list of items that should be placed in your checked bags or shipped: cranberry sauce, creamy dips and spreads (cheeses, peanut butter, etc.), gift baskets with liquid or gel food items (salsa, jams and salad dressings), gravy, jams, jellies, maple syrup, oils and vinegars, sauces, soups, wine, liquor and beer.

TSA 2013 Holiday Travel Tips

Why is a pie allowed to be carried on, yet so many other liquids and gels are not? Surely a pie has more liquid than many of the "dangerous" prohibited liquids. Of course no one has explained to me why (1) 500 ml bottle of water is dangerous but (5) 100 ml bottles are safe.

Who has been making you pie? They need to work on their recipe if its full of liquid.

I'll give another example. Pies have similar gel like qualities to substances like peanut butter. Peanut butter is prohibited but apple or pumpkin pies are permitted according to this blog post. Does that make any sense?

Since you mentioned it, if you want people to use Pre-check, you might want to make sure the TSOs actually know that items don't have to come out of the bag. My last flight from ATL, one woman was making up rules and when challenged started yelling "That's just the way it is!" Even though it would do no good, I would make a complaint if she hadn't gone out of her way to hide her name.

The point is not why some things are prohibited and other not. It is about obeying the rules. The people that run this country have rules. The subjects of this country must obey these rules if they want sound government. So, let us not ask about the liquidity of pies and peanut butter but strive to obey the rules set down by the government as everything will run smoother.

If it was "about obeying the rules", we'd still be under the subjugation of the British. If it were about obeying the rules, some of us might be slaves.
Just because there are rules in effect, it doesn't mean they are useful rules.
And further, rules are meant to be broken.

"The point is not why some things are prohibited and other not. It is about obeying the rules."
If the public's input on the rules has been ignored, the rules are not lawful.
See the public comments on body scanners at http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=TSA-2013-0004. It took TSA two years, post-implementation ofthe scanners, to ask for those comments. TSA has not yet informed the public about how the comments will be addressed.

I find the biggest problem with the 'rules' is not the language of the rules themselves (a jar of peanut butter is forbidden, but a pecan pie isn't?) but the inconsistencies across domestic airports. Many airports don't abide by the 3.4 ounce liquid rule, and certainly don't require passengers to place liquids in a plastic bag. If the rules are really that important, they should be consistent coast to coast.
While going through security two weeks ago, a handful of other passengers and I were sent through the TSA Pre-Check line, even though none of us had applied for the prescreened list. If TSA has no problem sending unapproved passengers through security with the rules of a 12 and under or 75 and over passenger, there needs to be some revaluation to save time and money. There is little consistency across airports, but I'm not sure whether to be worried or annoyed.

This also frustrates me that I can't think of anything I've done recently....
My friend just went through a really rough patch because the guy she was dating treated her very poorly. She really had wanted to date a Christian man because she's very religious, but he was an atheist. I'm not religious myself, but she was crying and very upset that no man would ever want to go to church with her and share something she's passionate about, so I offered to wake up the next day at 8 am (my weekend wakeup time is normally like noon) and attend a service with her so she had someone there. She cried, thanked me, and I felt like a really good friend to be there for her.
|Just a small thing - there is a regular security guard that patrols our neighborhood in the evenings. He's really nice and takes his job seriously and listens to neighbor's concerns. He's refused coffee or cookies on cold nights, but last night I left a book for him to read on his car. It's a book you'd all enjoy - Suspect by Robert Crais (a GSD and LAPD with PTSD). The guard has a dog, but not a GSD.
|Mac's Mom
I love all of the posts.
I've done good things...I volunteered at the Women's Center for two years, I've donated to various charities, I helped take care of my grandma for five years until she died, I took care of my mom while she was dying, I raised my nephew for 4 years, I rescued a dog...but I cannot think of any random acts of kindness I've performed of any consequence to myself. Its kinda bugging me...
When my husband and I first set out on our own we hit a bad patch and having finally found a cheap apartment we were finally able to move out of my car. But after all that we only had $5 to eat on the next two weeks until we both got paid. He was working a temp job and got a gig helping a landscaping crew. The owner of the house came home at the end of the day and handed him a card and thanked him for his hard work. It was a $50 Albertsons gift card. She had no idea who he was or how bad his situation was, she was just showing her appreciation for him working so hard for just minimum wage. We were actually able to buy groceries and eat.
5 years later we own our own house, have two beautiful daughters and live 3000 miles away from her, but I still wish I knew her name so I could thank her...we probably owe her everything for something I'm sure she thought was simple gratitude.
Leaving work one night following my boyfriend in my car on the way to his place - it was about 3 am (he was doorman, I was bartender). It was pouring rain out. As we got closer to destination, I got caught at red light (he went through).
I was heading east, at the light to my right was a blockbuster video store (dead end). A bus coming south stopped at the intersection and dropped off a passenger and turned west. A young man with very visible handicap (arm and hand caulked about chest level and his leg turned in) limped across the intersection passing in front of my car...as he was passing a street car heading west stopped at the intersection...4 punks got off (3 guys and a girl) and made a bee line across the intersection towards the blockbuster.
The light turned green. I stayed. Sure enough, the 4 punks jumped the handicapped kid as he fell to the ground started kicking and punching him, oblivious that I was at the light...I HAMMERED on my horn (knee jerk reaction), this snapped them out of what they were doing and they ran off.
Leaning on the horn drew the attention of a man in a p/u truck also heading west....he pulled a U-turn and stopped behind my car. We both got out to check on the boy who was pretty shaken up. The man said to me that it was b/c of my horn that he noticed the kafuffle and chose to swing back around...As this was going on, one of the punks came back and apologized, citing he didn't hurt the boy and wanted nothing to do with the beating...The man in the truck then asked the boy where he lived and offered him a ride home.
As I was getting back into my car, The man gave me a big smile and said "Good job"

It's about making choices to be kinder to others, even on this board
I found a stray kitten in a Wendy's parking lot. I couldn't leave her there so I called to her and she came over to my car, I opened the door and to my surprise she jumped in. I took her home and kept her in my bathroom so that she was separated from my other animals. I gave her lots of love and attention, she was fed high quality food and she had a warm, safe place to stay. I wanted to keep her, the family dog had just passed away that night and then I found her, I thought it was a sign but then I remembered that I have TOO MANY CATS, lol! I took her to the Vet just to have her updated on her shots, the next thing I knew I spent $491!
Spending all that money was a big shock and definitely took a big chunk out of my wallet but I chose to bring her into my house and I did save her life so that makes me feel better. I ended up giving her over to the police, they take all of the animals they recieve to a no kill animal shelter and I gave them all of her vaccination records and the medication that she was on from the Vet so that she wasn't vaccinated again.
|My husband and I actively did tons of things for others, often anonymously. It's been much harder this year to do anything, but I do try. I think part of why I'm not doing much is that I'm still grieving so hard and trying to get back on my feet after losing everything, but I still try to make others smile when I can.
Every year, I donate to various K9 charities to get K9 officers vests to wear and I do it in the name of my favorite K9 and his handler. I try to put in enough money every year to buy three vests. This year, a group of us are working towards buying a K9 and a vest through a charity in my home state that pays for the dog, training, and a vest. My K9 buddy will most likely be retiring this year and a huge swath of area will be left dog-less, so my hope is that the area is chosen for the dog.
A single girl at work was facing a very unplanned pregnancy. One of the customers discovered what happened and tipped the girl $5,000 to help prepare for the baby.
My favorite RAK of all time had to be when I was a teenager. A girl at my school lost everything when her father killed her mother and brother, burned down their house, and died during a police standoff. We had a charity drive at our school for her as her family was already living barely above the poverty line and she had absolutely no family to go to. Someone dropped off a check in the sum of $30,000 and we found out later had paid for the proper burial of her family.

Foprme Guantanamo Bay detainee, Sami Ali-Haji, claimed certain Yemeni inmates at the United States military prison in Cuba, have gone clinically insane because of "hallucinogenic pills" they were forced to take by guards. Ahmed Arman a lawyer with the human rights organization, the National Organization for defending rights and Freedom(HOOD), says "I have been told that Yemeni doctaor Ayman Badhrafi(still in cstody) became insane. Fuwaz Nouman, who recently came back to Yemen also suffers from serious psychological problems. Marc Falkoff, an American lawyer who represents many Yemeni detainee insists it is difficult to determine if somone suffers from a psychological disorder without an examination by a medical professional. However, the US military in the prison does not allow outside doctors to visit or treat prisoners.
Falkoff, says that "we lawyers have repeatedly sought permission from the military and from the judges overseeing our cases to allow us to bring a psychologist or psychiatrist with us to Guanatamo. In every instance, our requests have been denied." Falkoff thinks a high number of prisoners are suffering from mental illness due to exteme isolation and has been told by the miltiary that about 10% of prisoners are suffering from mental illness.
Al-Haji worked as a cameraman for Al-Jazeera when captured in 2001 on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. He was detained in the Guananamo facility for seven years without any clear charges and then set free in May. he was not given an explanation for his detainment nor an apology. Yemeni detainees constitute almost half of prisoners in the prison. The American government has demanded promises from Yemen that returned prisoners would not be tortured. It is unclear whether the request means not tortured like prisoners are not tortured in Guantanamo or something else. The Yemen government insists it provided such assuarances.

Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller is being limited on the field according to head coach Doug Marrone. Spiller only played 14 out of 68 offensive snaps Sunday against Miami. The fourth-year back only has 22 carries over his last three games and his yardage has been on the decline over the last month. Marrone cited Spiller's injured ankle as the primary suspect. "The injury has everything to do with it, not some of it," said Marrone. It's also possible Spiller will need to sit this week. Tashard Choice would see more playing time if Spiller needed time off.
Fantasy Analysis:
Spiller was a first-round lock during the preseason but has been a serious disappointment due to his dwindling playing time and an excellent first half of the season from Fred Jackson . Buying low on Spiller might not be a bad strategy considering Jackson's injury history. The former Clemson back carries with him a significant amount of risk though as he has shown very little thus far.

Relationships with family don't end when prison begins, but they do become harder. Families in Crisis teaches offenders how to connect with loved ones, strengthening and healing relationships.
Please take a moment to watch this agency video.
When a loved one is inside, life still goes on outside. Families learn how to move from challenge to stability to opportunity.
Offenders and families learn how to become more productive members of their community, so that our communities become better places in which to live and work, for all of us.
Naturally, we feel empathy for the victims of a crime. But we don't generally think about the others affected – the families of offenders. They have committed no crime, but their lives are drastically changed.
Families in Crisis is a family services agency that helps offenders and their loved ones confront and overcome challenges.
Our families build fundamental skills and meet basic needs through participating in specialized counseling, education, case management, and related services. Our programs take place in the community, in homes, at our offices, and of course, in prison. Our commitment is to help offenders and their families envision and embrace a better future for themselves and their communities.

Nobody can knock Kimi after Suzuka 2005. Easily the most impressive single race performance in the last decade or so.

What Would Jeremy Do?
I'm sorry, but you don't get handed a Super License after competing in just a few dozen races outside of karting if you don't have some proper talent.
Per Wiki:He went on to fill the seat left by Hakkinen at McLaren, so in your mind, Ron Dennis must have been crazy.Räikkönen had a long line of success in karting from the age of ten. His first race outside Finland was in Monaco when he was 15 years old. During the race, the steering wheel broke, but he continued, informing his mechanic by frantically waving the steering wheel in the air on the home straight. Räikkönen's next Monaco race was also memorable; he was thrown on the wrong side of the safety fence in a first lap collision, but continued driving until running out of road. Undeterred, he lifted his kart back on to the track and continued to race. His mechanic thought Räikkönen had retired, but he eventually caught up with the other competitors and finished third.[7] In 1998 he was 1st in the Nordic (karting) Championship at Varna in Norway. In 1999, Räikkönen placed second in the European Formula Super A championship, and also competed in the Formula Ford Euro Cup. By the age of twenty, he had won the British Formula Renault winter series of 1999, winning the first four races of the year. In 2000, he won seven out of ten events in the Formula Renault UK Championship. Combined, over these two series of Formula Renault, he won 13 out of 23 events - a 56% win rate.
On the basis of these results, Peter Sauber gave the Finn a test with the Sauber Formula One team in September 2000 at the Mugello Circuit.[8] After further tests in Jerez and Barcelona, Sauber signed Räikkönen for the 2001 season. However, some critics (including FIA president Max Mosley) voiced concerns over granting an F1 Super Licence to such an inexperienced driver; Räikkönen had only 23 car races to his credit. He was nevertheless granted his license and scored a championship point in his debut at the 2001 Australian Grand Prix.

I'm in for anything which keeps F1 from becoming a Schumacher/Ferrari parade albeit with Vettel/RBR. I thought the past couple of seasons were quite good - if you simply ignored Vettel running away at a clip.
I'm hoping for more incredible runs, like Button in Canada last year - one of the weirdest, coolest, most-confusing races I've seen in F1 in years. 5 hours, 7 pit-stops etc...wtf?
To be honest I haven't followed enough off-season to even know about the teams. I knew Kimi was back, but honestly unless something fouls Vettel/RBR it'll be everyone batting for 2nd place again. I really hope someone screws up, or Vettel has a crash or two.
Also Schumi is beyond the twilight of his career at the age of 40 or so. Kimi is only 32 and has a decent amount of years left in him.

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us are. Very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad."
lol. miss scandinavia, mmmmmmm.
but seriously, cmon guys. lets keep the **** talking down to actual **** talking and keep the gay bashing to a minimum.
i'm to finally see Trulli out of F1. i didn't dislike him, but he never amounted to much considering all his years in F1. his loss is at least a chance for another younger driver to enter the sport, even though they replaced him with Petrov.
but i'm really stoked to have kimi back and really look forward to more of his riveting interviews.
welcome to the layer cake
I'm definitely an Alonso fan. He seems to be the middle ground between Button's race sense and Hamilton's raw speed and passing ability. Even though Vettel won the last two seasons, I still think Alonso is the best all-around driver in F1.
During the 2007 mess I thought there was fault to be distributed all over the place, but it sure did seem that Dennis was favoring Hamilton by the end of the season. I think that if Dennis had handled the season better one of them would have walked away with the WDC. I also felt like Hamilton was too reckless.
I think both have grown up a bunch since 2007. Hamilton had a rough season in 2011, but I think he will bounce back and be at least competitive with Button. Alonso is as hungry as ever and will always be in the running so long as he has a competitive car.
I think that an on-the-track rivalry with a bit of trash talk between those two would make for a fantastic season.
What Would Jeremy Do?
I can't wait! a true fan here. i hated last year it wasn't worth watching if red bull is going to run away with the championship again sheesh!
Remember, passing in 2005 was probably harder than it has ever been since. The cars had no downforce reduction systems and the aero created incredibly dirty air behind those big 3.0L V10 engines with no rev limits.
What Would Jeremy Do?
im the other way around, hamilton all the way! i love the raw recklessness and the passion, so much fun to watch. he may not be the smartest driver on the track, but definitely one of my favorites.
its totally true but you also have to finish races, with the FIA throwing punishments at him every other race and a lot of close calls, as well as some wrecks arguably due to going for a pass he probably shouldnt have. i love him as a racer and i wouldnt have it any other way, but he is for sure one of the most fierce and sometimes reckless drivers out there.
As for passing, yeah Hamilton is tenacious, but look at what it gets him more often than not: a wrecked race car or a trip to the stewards. Racing isn't just about throwing your car into every gap you see, it's being smart about when and where to make the move. Hamilton needs to grow up a bit in this regard before he'll be able to add a second WDC to his tally.
In for more videos, and paddock girls.
Never run out of real estate, traction, and ideas at the same time

You are right that you want to win, but it is better to win the WDC than an individual race, and sometimes it is better to avoid a risky pass to protect your points. This is why Alonso is better in my book. He knows when to play it safe and when to be aggressive. Hamilton is always aggressive and it has cost him.

Fir Lane Memorial Park is located few miles south of Tacoma in Spanaway, Washington. The cemetery was founded in 1958, and now has 16 of 80 acres developed. The balance of the property remains a natural forest, just the way it was a century ago.
A chapel was constructed in 1964 for funeral and memorial services. In 1976 a funeral home was added offering complete funeral arrangements, services, room for receptions, visitation rooms and office space. A crematorium was added in 1988 to meet the needs of the community.
Heritage Mausoleum was built in 1992. The Mausoleum is comprised of full crypts for entombment and niches for cremated remains. The pillar building has hand-carved brick murals on each side and flags representing Washington and the United States.
The newest facility is the Park Side Room, offers space for informal memorial services and receptions. The facility provides family gatherings with refreshments such as coffee and cookies to more elaborate catered light lunches.
Artificial flowers are permitted on graves in the winter months from October 1st through April 1st. These flowers will be removed during the summer. Fresh flowers are permitted at any time during the years and Christmas flowers are permitted between Thanksgiving and February 1st.
Fir Lane Memorial Park is open each day from 8 a.m. until dusk.

Now that Debate 1 is history, out come the excuses
posted at 3:51 pm on October 4, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
Well that didn't take long. The morning after a debate on the economy in which the president was schooled by his businessman opponent, liberals took time out to feel their pain and lick their wounds. It just wasn't supposed to be like this.
But the period of mourning was short lived. By early afternoon, the excuses began to take shape and find their way into headlines. Former vice president and current certifiable maniac Al Gore complained that the mile-high altitude worked in Romney's favor and against Obama. "Obama," he groused on his TV network Current, "arrived in Denver at 2 p.m. today—just a few hours before the debate started. Romney did his debate prep in Denver. When you go to 5,000 feet, and you only have a few hours to adjust, I don't know."
Jim Lehrer, who moderated the debate, also drew some red flags from critics on the left who apparently miss having the NFL replacement refs to kick around. "Lehrer sucked," Bill Maher noted tersely, although I don't think he was far off in his critique. Lehrer, who is 78, seemed a tad feeble, his voice reedy, suggesting that maybe it is time to retire his number. But Maher's beef seems to reside in Lehrer's cutting the president off when he had exceeded his time limit, which is one of the few functions Lehrer carried out according to Hoyle.
The DNC released an ad suggesting that Romney wasn't nice enough to the president, which should resonate with that huge section of the electorate who vote based on "niceness" and who are convinced by the ad. The National Journal declared, without sensing a need to explain what they meant, that "the deck was stacked against Obama." Which raises the question of whether, apart from his having the incumbent advantage, Obama's vaunted rhetorical skills shouldn't have stacked the deck in his favor.
And finally, there is the Obama campaign, which has a different spin on last night's debate depending on who you ask. Deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter grudgingly conceded that Romney won that debate but only "on preparation and style points." Chief honcho David Axelrod was unequivocal in his view that Romney won, even though he quizzically added, "I don't see us adding huge amounts of additional prep time" for the next debate.
Sounds like it should be fun.

Central Falls, R.I. __ At his high school graduation, Juan Pena stood out. He was one of those talented students who shined a little more brightly in the already shining moment of secondary education.
"I had like three little strings on me [honor cords], and they only had two," Pena says of his classmates, "And I wasn't gonna be able to go to my dream school."
The high-school senior was about to graduate Central Falls High School with a track record that gleamed with achievement. He was in the top five students accepted to Rhode Island School of Design for the upcoming fall. He had received a Gold Key award for his portfolio. He was a member of the National Honor Society and the National Art Honor Society. All these accomplishments proved disheartening rather than empowering, however, when he was the only NHS member in his class who wouldn't be attending his school of choice.

"We used this card for our business Christmas Card. We were able to add logos, a personal message, and choose a paper/envelope style. We went with the matte card and paid extra for the gold envelopes- they look great, personal and expensive. We liked them so much that we had more shipped out at a later date and they came in the two days as promised! Will definitely use Tiny Prints in the future!"
"I was very pleased with the quality of this product. Excellent paper on card and envelope . Design and print were also outstanding. Very pleased."
"This is a very nice card made with a quality cardstock. Be aware that the color is not a bright red - it's more of a brck red. We approved our proof on 11/8/12 (we put our company logo on the front and our names were printed on the back) and we received our order of 400 cards on 11/15/12 - FANTASTIC service! This is our fourth year ordering from Tiny Prints."

In Lodo: Western art with a modern perspective
April 19, 2012
High Country dwellers who love modern art and who also fancy contemporary art will want to make the trek down to Denver's LoDo Art District before May 5 to pay a visit to the Robischon Gallery of Contemporary Art.
Robischon is currently featuring concurrent solo exhibitions featuring the artists Stephen Batura, Edie Winograde, Jerry Kunkel and Gary Emrich. Each is a master of their craft and is regularly shown by Robischon in Denver and other regional and national venues. The exhibition, titled "Appropriated: The Chronicled West," opened with an artist reception March 29.
The carefully coordinated four-part exhibition features painting, photography and video by these recognized Colorado artists, utilizing a wide range of historical Western imagery as their initial resource material, ranging from documentary photographs and battleground re-enactments, to iconic paintings of the period and its subsequent decorative kitsch.
"This would be a great show for mountain viewers to embrace. The theme of the West endures – partly through our geographic location, but also through the mythical representation that the West retains for all Americans," said Robischon's Debra Malik Demosthenes. "Come see the show, its terrific."
The exhibition presents the viewer with, according to Demosthenes, "the grand spectacle of the bygone or stereotypic West while offering it as a point of departure within the subject of each artist's uniquely different exploration and approach."
Robischon is renowned for its courage in showing contemporary art in a predominantly traditional Western market. "The kitsch references the stereotypical Western imagery — the sheriff, the cowboy, majestic vistas, etc., that finds its way into odd utilitarian objects like the decorative Western liquor decanters that Gary Emrich uses in his 'Firewater' series," Demosthenes said.
"It sets a challenging stage for two impending events in Denver's downtown: the opening of the giant, new History Colorado Center on April 28 and, soon after, the public unveiling of the American Museum of Western Art, which will display the vast collection of businessman Philip Anschutz," said Ray Mark Rinaldi of the Denver Post. "Those two operations will offer their own views of the West as it was, more holistic (and, one hopes, more optimistic), and this exhibit serves as a serious, if small-scale, filter for consuming them."
For Summit County residents looking to experience the highest level of contemporary art, Robischon represents and exhibits a range of ground-breaking artists such as Robert Motherwell, Christo and Jeanne Claude, Robert Rauschenberg, Manuel Neri, Richard Serra, Judy Pfaff, Bernar Venet, Ann Hamilton, Jessica Stockholder, Zhang Xiaogang and Li Wei, along with influential mid-career artists and those new to the professional level. In Denver and throughout the art world, the gallery is known for its efforts to feature work by artists of integrity with vision and compelling ideas, while acknowledging the historical precedence of their creations.
Robischon Gallery has been producing exhibitions of regional, national and international artists since 1976. The gallery's exhibitions and the artists represented thoughtfully address a wide range of stylistic and contextual mediums and messages, embracing the current pluralism in art. Ongoing dialogues in the art world such as the rise and impact of Chinese and Middle Eastern contemporary art can often be found in the gallery's exhibitions, both on-site and in other venues they manage.
The gallery is located at 1740 Wazee Street and free parking is available for patrons. Visit http://www.robischongallery.com for more information.
