Twinsburg -- More than four years after the murder of Twinsburg Police Officer Joshua Miktarian by Ashford Thompson, the last two people involved in the crime have been sentenced.
Danielle Roberson, Thompson's girlfriend at the time of the murder, and Bridget Robinson, Thompson's sister, were each sentenced Feb. 6 to two years probation and charged with $1,000 in fines and court costs by Cuyahoga Court of Common Pleas Judge Daniel Gaul. The women were convicted of one count each of attempted obstruction of justice. Charges of tampering with evidence were dropped prior to sentencing, according to Court Public Information Coordinator Mike Stewart.
Additionally, Roberson received six months house arrest and six months suspended jail time, while Robinson received one year suspended jail time.
These were the maximum sentences allowed under the Ohio Revised Code.
Present at the sentencing was the slain officer's widow and Tallmadge resident, Holly Miktarian, who said she had hoped to see more harsh punishments handed down, though the law has its limits.
"I think everyone would have liked to see a different sentence, but the judge had to go by what the law books state," Miktarian said. "I wasn't surprised that this was what they got ... I think we got as much justice as we can get in this situation. The judge can only give sentences that are appropriate to the charges."
Charles Morgan and Fernando Mack, Roberson's and Robinson's attorneys, respectively, did not return calls seeking comment.
Mayor Katherine Procop said a harsher sentence was called for, given the women's roles in the murder.
"While I am very pleased that the Cuyahoga County prosecutor took action to hold these women accountable for their crimes, the sentencing is disappointing," Procop said in an email to the Twinsburg Bulletin. "I don't think there is any punishment that can comfort or ease the loss that Josh's family and our community has suffered, but surely a stronger sentence would have been an action of support for Holly, and for Josh's family, friends and police officers everywhere.
"At the very least, it is on the record that Roberson and Robinson will forever be responsible for the parts they played in the murder of one of the finest officers and human beings that we have known," Procop added.
With Thompson currently on death row at Chillicothe Correctional Institution and the accomplices who aided and sheltered him sentenced, Miktarian said she feels a degree of closure.
"I think that Josh can rest a little bit easier now that they have finally been sentenced and held accountable for their parts that they played that morning," Holly said. "I feel like some more weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I'm happy that it's over with."
Twinsburg Police Chief Chris Noga echoed the sentiment, stating during the sentencing that the Twinsburg community still suffers from the wounds inflicted by the July 2008 murder.
"Today is the day that Danielle Roberson and Bridget Robinson will be held accountable for their individual actions on that terrible night," Noga said in his victim's impact statement, which he offered at the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas before the sentencing. "Ms. Roberson and Ms. Robinson participated in a heinous crime -- the most heinous crime in our society -- the murder of a human being. We lost a great police officer on July 13, 2008, but, more importantly, we lost a great husband, father, son, colleague and friend and we never want to lose sight of that.
"I am glad that all persons involved in the death of Officer Joshua Miktarian have been held accountable," Noga added, posting on his department's Facebook page following the murder.
During her statement at the sentencing, Miktarian directly addressed Roberson and Robinson, calling out their actions on the night of her husband's murder. She said she believed Robinson acted out of concern for her brother, although those actions were ultimately incriminating.
"I just told [Robinson] that I can understand he's a family member and she wanted to help him but she made that decision to help him as an adult and that's why she's here today," Holly said in court Feb. 6.
Roberson, however, found no sympathy forthcoming.
"As far as [Roberson], I told her that I feel Josh is dead because of her," Holly said. "I honestly feel with all my heart that she distracted him enough to miss [Thompson] reaching for his gun. She got out of the car during a traffic stop. You're not supposed to do that and she did it anyway. I hold her accountable. She didn't pull the trigger but I still hold her accountable."
As Holly closed her statement to the women being sentenced, she shared a painful personal detail about how the night of July 13, 2008, irreversibly changed her life, reminding all those present of the dear cost paid by police officers on a daily basis.
"My little girl has to go to a cemetery to sing Happy Birthday to her dad," Holly said. "I want you to think about that."
Though all parties involved in the crime have been assigned their due punishment, Holly said the ordeal will not be truly dealt with until Thompson's execution, which has not yet been scheduled.
"I know that that's just a long way off," Holly said. "When that's done, it's really done, but until then, we have that ahead of us. Unfortunately, that's what we have to do next. I think when that's done, I'll feel more as if justice was served, it just seems like there's always one more step to go."

I think it looks great! Was it hard to do?
Yep, I tried it. I never blued anything before. I am going to leave it at this because I am afraid I might mess it up. Next time, I am going to try it with a stripped receiver. Before I add anything to it. I think it might work out better. Also, I am going to ignore the step that requires you to wash it off in water. All this surface rust is a pain to get rid of.
This is an East German kit with a Yugo UF stock on it. I blued the underfolder too cos it was all worn. The stock came out better than the receiver.
The valuable lesson I learned from all of this is that Krylon BBQ and stove paint cannot withstand the mighty cleaning power of Rusty Duck. lol.
Here are some pics. The flash from the camera produced some light spots but the bluing is all uniform.
I think it looks great! Was it hard to do?
Mine looked great also....until I cleaned it and most of the bluing washed off hopefully yours will be more permanent.
Yea, the blue is very hard to apply and messy. Not my 1st choice in finishes.
I used the same thing on my Yugo. I cleaned everything with brake cleaner and heated the parts in the gas grill before blueing. It didn't come out too bad.
I think it looks pretty darn good, especially for a cold bluing.
The key to a good blue job is the prep work. Just like parkerizing, the parts must be void of all traces of dirt and oil. Brownell's makes a paste type cold blue that works pretty good. Can't think of the name off hand though.
" The world is a very dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing about them." - Albert Einstein, 1879-1955

Mary Warne (Lord)
|Stonington, New London County, Connecticut Colony
|Died in Perth Amboy, Middlesex County, Province of New Jersey
|Immediate Family:
Daughter of Robert Lord and Rebecca Lord
|Managed by:

Immediate Family
About Mary Warne
Mary and the Colonel had the following children:
Stephen Warne b. About 1700 (our line)
Thomas Warne b. 1702
Samuel Warne b. 1703/4
Joshua Warne b. 23 Dec 1706
Sarah Warne b. 27 Aug 1711
George Warne b. 23 Apr 1713
Her first marriage was to Thomas Carhart on 22 Nov 1691 in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts. One site claims that this marriage took place in Rye, New York, subsequent home of her fellow Quaker and descendant Amy Barton. Their children were:
John Carhart b. 1692 in Staten Island, Richmond Co, New York
Robert Carhart b. 1693 in Staten Island, Richmond Co, New York
William Carhart b. About 1695 in Staten Island, Richmond Co, New York
Daniel Carhart (missing from some)
So she was the mother of 10! I wonder if her second husband was a good stepfather to her first 4.
The Weiler-Ebersole Family Tree has her birth in Cambridge, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts. I once thought she had emigrated from Englnd, but apparently not.
There are several Lords who could have been her father. Many sites claim her parents were Robert Lord and Rebecca Stanley. But the chronology is tight. Their 2nd child was born in 1653, if Mary is theirs she was the 4th and born 15 years later. Possible.
Thomas Carhart was born about 1650 in Cornwall, England and died on 16 Mar 1696 in Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey.
Not our line, but interesting, possibly Mary's son Samuel:
Run away from Samuel WARNE, of the Township of Middle-Town, in the County of Monmouth, in the Province of New-Jersey; an Irish Servant Man nam'd Thomas LOWRY, a Shoe-maker by Trade, of
a Short stature, Black Hair, dark Complection, Cloath-ed with a Gray Coat, a Black Vest, a Brown Pair of Breeches, Two Pair of Stockings, the one Yarn, the other Worsted, a Round Toe'd Pair of double Sole'd Shoes, a Felt Hat, and commonly wears it all Round,
without Cocking; he is Aged about Twenty three Years; Whosoever takes up the said Servant, or secures him, so that the said Samuel WARNE may have him again, shall have Thirty Shillings Reward, and Reasonable Charges, Paid by, Samuel WARNE.
--- The American Weekly Mercury, March 20--27, 1729.
Here is something about the place where Mary and Thomas are buried:
The Ancient History of Topanemus
By Mary Evans
Topanemus is not only the name of the Lake but the name of an Indian village that existed prior to 1684 and a Quaker church and burial ground that existed in the late 18th century.
The name Topanemus is an Indian name meaning "An elk drinking from a brook that flows from a spring." Today, the only remaining identification with the name is in the name of the Lake, the name of the road in Marlboro about a mile up Robertsville Road and the name of the ancient burial ground hidden behind a housing development off Topanemus Road.
But what was the village like. It was a place with clear spring water and a little hill which would have attracted the Indians because of the accessibility of water and the probable excellent hunting.
In Scotland and England the Quakers had been abused by the Stuart kings and the Church of England and migrated to the New World in hopes of attaining religious freedom. New Amsterdam (New York) where they arrived was definitely no better and they were forced to leave there. Their second move brought these persecuted people to Perth Amboy in East Jersey about 1682. Again, these people headed by George Scott were not greeted well. An early Quaker John Reid, the first Surveyor-General of East Jersey who was living in Perth Amboy advised the Quaker group to go a few miles inland where there was a settlement to which Reid had sent others, that would welcome them. To the Scotch and English Quakers who were persecuted wherever they went it, was a place where they could live in peace.
From this settlement came a number of influential and powerful men. George Keith of Aberdeen, Scotland who joined the Quakers as a young man arrived in America in 1684 after being appointed a Surveyor-General for East Jersey. He surveyed the line between East and West Jersey, the famous "Keith line." The line ran from Little Egg Harbor in the southeast to the Delaware Water Gap and the New York line. This survey line divided the jurisdiction of Jersey into 2 entities: East Jersey and West Jersey, each of which had its own governmental structure known as the Board of Proprietors.
For Keith's work, the Proprietors gave him a grant of 700 acres in Monmouth County in the vicinity of the village of Topanemus where he helped building a meeting house in which he preached to the people. Over time he converted to the Anglican Church of England and converted the Topanemus Quakers to the Anglican Church, which today is St. Peter's Church on Throckmorton Street, Freehold. In Keith's time the meetinghouse at Topanemus was the church on land donated by Thomas Boels.
In the cemetery next to the site of the meeting house are buried families whose names are indelibly links to Topanemus and later Freehold.
Here lies:
Colonel John Anderson, President of His Majesty's Council for the Province of East Jersey
Thomas Warne, East Jersey Proprietor
John Reid, Surveyor-General of East Jersey
John Baird and family
Baricclo (Barkalow) family
Bowne family
Holmes family
Throckmorton Family
Tice family
Warne family
And many, many more.
The Lake which was very important to both the Indians and the Quakers is a freshwater lake on McGellaird's Brook which flows in a westerly direction to the Matchaponix Brook through Manalapan. It is part of the South River watershed in the Raritan River drainage basin. It is generally believed that the Lake was originally formed by beaver activity.
The early settlers of the area were quick to take advantage of this resource, and a mill was in place by the 1700's. The Lake served as the site of Forman's Mill during the Battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778. A modern bridge was installed in 1919. During the mid-1900's the lake was a popular local recreation destination that offered swimming on lifeguarded beaches, boating, fishing and ice skating.
The impact of increased development in the late 1900s caused Lake Topanemus to be filled with silt, soil, and nutrient runoff. This resulted in a shallower lake that was becoming choked with weeds and vegetation, a process called eutrophication. Concurrent with the recent restoration of the dam and bridge on Pond Road, Freehold Borough and Freehold Township completed dredging and maintenance work, ensuring that Lake Topanemus will be here for future generations to enjoy.

Problems to date: It did stall a few times on me under hard braking comming to a quick stop. Ive heard of others who have had a few more occurances than me, however BMW did put out a recall notice to have the bikes ECU reflashed. I havent had any other problems since.
Pros: Beautifull (I have Lava Orange), FAST and unique. When I decided I wanted another sport bike, yes, even with the release of the S100RR, I consider the K1300S a sport bike, I didnt want to pull up to a red light on a Jap bike and see another one across and or next to me. The K1300S is definately a unique bike. For its size it is very nimble and easy to manuver. The duolever suspension is phemominal. Its comfy around town (has the option of SPORT/NORMAL/COMFY setting) and very stable at speeds in excess of 150. The GSA (Gear Shift Assist) is a must. It allows for clutchless upshifts, after first gear, even at WOT. basically, just pin the throttle and go. ABS, Traction Control and TPMS are added benefits that I have. Its comfy 1up as well as 2up, with the ESA you select either 1 rider, 1 rider with gear or 2 riders and the suspension will auto calibrate to compensate for the added weight.
Cons: I cant stay off of it. Just over 1 year old and I have 11K mi on the bike. Other than the ECU flash and reg oil changes I havent had an issue. The first big service is at 12K, $$.
I have been so please with the quality of my K1300S that I went straight to BMW when I was in the market for a new car. I hopped in an '08 335i coupe and was sold.
DosBimmers, great write up on the K1300S. The lava orange on that bike does look fantastic. Post up some pics if you get the chance.
My decision was a tough one but the two main reasons I passed up on the K1300S was the riding position (this is subjective to each rider) and the fact that the dealer was almost an hour away from me while the Ducati dealer is within a mile of my home. Really though, both are great bikes and I don't think I could have made a wrong decision between the two. The BMW bikes are just superb in quality, and I was almost the opposite of you. I drive a Bimmer as my car and that lead me to look at their bikes.
Keep enjoying that bike (and car) and ride it in good health!

Wallace & Gromit aim to inspire young inventors
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - The Oscar-winning animation characters Wallace & Gromit have opened the doors of their home to the public, hoping to inspire a new generation of inventors with some ingenious and not-so-ingenious contraptions.
The beloved Englishman Wallace is renowned for his over-elaborate inventions, used for anything from making Christmas cards to deterring burglars, and now children are being encouraged to follow in his footsteps.
Wallace and Gromit present a "World of Cracking Ideas" at London's Science Museum, a full-size recreation of their quaint home at 62 West Wallaby Street where visitors can play video games and study contraptions and miniatures used in the films.
As well as the good ideas -- among the favorites at a press preview were a karaoke disco machine in the shower and a barometer that chooses the right hat for the weather -- are bad ones that appear in the "Those that didn't make it" section.
They include a chocolate teapot, glass hammer and a dog food bowl made of dog biscuits.
Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park said the idea of the exhibition, which opens on March 28 and runs until November 1, was to encourage children to try out new ideas.
"I used to come here when I was a student," he said at the exhibition. "I used to do anything that was free.
"(I wanted) to inspire kids, to show what Wallace has done as a fictional inventor," Park told Reuters. Continued...

Not Provided: Let's Read About . . . Rosa Parks by Courtney Baker, A Picture Book of Sacagawea by David A. Adler, chart paper, markers
Teacher Modeling
will explain that another characteristic of a biography is that it presents a real person's life in chronological order. I will add this to my Characteristics of Biographies Chart (Example Chart is provided in Unit Teacher and Student Materials). Chronological order means "in order of time." If I told you a story about yesterday in chronological order, I would start with my alarm clock waking me up in the morning and end with me getting back into bed to go to sleep. The time covered in my story of yesterday was only one day, but biographies are about a person's entire life. Biographies usually start with when a person is born and end when a person grows old. It tells the reader the important events of a person's life in the order that they happen. I will use the familiar biography (from Lesson 1) Let's Read About . . . Rosa Parks to model putting major events in Rosa's life in order. I will write the following events on the board or chart paper (mixed up) and number them in order while I think aloud. I will explain that to put them in order, I will refer to the order of information in the text. • Rosa was born in February 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. • Rosa was sent to a special school in Montgomery, Alabama where she could get a good education. • Rosa and Raymond Parks got married. • Rosa stood up to a white bus driver who would not let her sit up front because she was African American. • Rosa fought the bus company in court and won. After putting the events in order by numbering them, I will reflect that a biography tells me what happened to Rosa Parks in chronological order, or in order of time. I will add the title of the book to my chart.
Think Check
Ask: "How did I put the major events in a biography in chronological order?" Students should respond that you used the information in the book to help you put the events in order. Since biographies tell you about someone's life in order, you numbered the events in the order in which they happened.
Guided Practice
will read A Picture Book of Sacagawea by David A. Adler. After reading the first half of the book, we will look at a mixed up list of events in Sacagawea's life so far (list provided below). Then, we will number the events from 1-4, referring to the information in the book to help us figure out the order. We will reflect that a biography shows us the events in a person's life in order, so we will add the title of the book to our chart. We will finish reading A Picture Book of Sacagawea.
Sacagawea was born in 1788 or 1789 in the Rocky Mountains.
Sacagawea's tribe was attacked by Hidatsa warriors, and she was captured and taken hundreds of miles away to the Missouri river
Sacagawea was sold to a white trader named Charbonneau to be his wife.
Lewis and Clark arrived at the Hidasta village.
Independent Practice
will put major events from Sacagawea's life in chronological order by numbering them on your Independent Practice worksheet. You will explain how you know A Picture Book of Sacagawea is a biography.

Las Vegas-based MGM Resorts gave
$75,000 to a pro-gay marriage campaign in Maryland.
Washington Post reported that MGM Resorts contributed toward
the successful effort to uphold a marriage equality law approved by
Maryland lawmakers.
Disclosure reports show that
Marylanders for Marriage Equality reported raising a total of $5.2
million for the campaign leading up to the November 6 election.
Maryland Marriage Alliance, which opposes the law, said it raised
less than half that amount, about $2.4 million.
MGM Resorts, which is hoping to build a
casino at National Harbor in Prince George's County, said its
"modest" contribution, offered in the final weeks of the
campaign, was a sign of its continued support for gay rights.
"MGM Resorts celebrates diversity in
all aspects of its business and is a longtime supporter of workplace
equality," the company said in a statement released Wednesday.
Both campaigns raised about $700,000
each in the final two weeks of the campaign. The bulk of the money
raised in the final weeks by the Maryland Marriage Alliance came from
the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), which gave $400,00, and
the Knights of Columbus, which contributed $100,000.
NOM gave opponents a total of $1.2
Roman Catholic dioceses also
contributed, including $25,000 from Newark, $10,000 from Wheeling and
$5,000 from Arlington.

Eva Bertrand Adams
a glance:
Adams was the daughter of Cora (Varble) and Verner Lauer
Adams. Her father worked for George Wingfield, the mining
magnate. Her father was hired to set up various facilities
in mining camps for Wingfield, including hotels, commissaries,
and bars. The family would go and stay until the camp was
running and then move on to other locations. Therefore,
the Adams family moved around the state of Nevada frequently.
Adams won a scholarship to Vassar but decided to stay in Reno to attend the University of Nevada. In addition to her academic abilities, she joined many campus organizations and became editor of the campus newspaper, the "Sagebrush". She became known as a real "workhorse", stating that many of the male students recognized her work ethic and allowed her to do most of the work.
After graduating from the University of Nevada, in 1928, she began teaching at age 19 at Las Vegas High School. While she was there, she became so annoyed with the makeshift city library, which had no card file on its contents that she persuaded local Camp Fire Girls to create the first index of books and other materials.
While she lived in Las Vegas, her landlady introduced her to political activists in the community including Ed Clark who headed the Clark County Democratic Party. She was introduced to Patrick McCarran on a holiday journey home, when a snowstorm stranded about 40 motorists at the Goldfield Hotel. "He came in and he bought drinks for everybody, and he wasn't running, and I thought what a nice man."2
After teaching high school in Las Vegas, she attended graduate school at Columbia University in New York.
She was on the English faculty at the University of Nevada in 1940 when Nevada Senator Pat McCarran asked her to join his staff in Washington D.C. She became his Administrative Assistant and remained in that position until Senator McCarran's death in 1954. She quickly found herself to be in charge of the office and had the wisdom to know how to handle many difficult situations that arose.
"The Secretary of the Senate had an open bar," Adams recalls, "which created problems, frequently, and this night it was a great problem because Senator McCarran had been at this open bar. He came stomping into the office." He then dictated a number of rude telegrams to some of the most important people in the aviation industry, ordering them to be in his office at 10 a.m. the following morning. She stared at the telegrams, decided not to send them and cleaned out her desk for her pending discharge. McCarran didn't even show up till 10:30, and later recalled he had ordered something done. When she showed the telegrams, he gasped, "My God, did you send those?"
Adams had a special relationship with McCarran. Many found his personality to be intimidating and sometimes frightening. She was able to intercede on his behalf to facilitate smooth working conditions with other dignitaries and citizens. She quietly protected McCarran from his worst character traits and let the best shine. The office developed a reputation as the most efficient in the Senate building, and she was called upon to teach other senator's staffs how to run their offices.
Adams attended law school while working in Washington D.C. for Senator McCarran. She received an LL.B. degree at Washington College of Law, American University, Washington D.C. and a Master's degree in law from George Washington University. She became a member of the Nevada and District of Columbia Bars and was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court in 1954.
Altogether, Adams received four degrees in addition to her University of Nevada degree:
After Senator McCarran's death she remained as Administrative Assistant to Senator Ernest Brown who was appointed to succeed McCarran. She continued as Administrative Assistant to Senator Alan Bible who was elected U.S. Senator from Nevada in 1954.
In 1961 President John F. Kennedy invited her to have lunch in the Senate cafeteria and asked her to be Director of the U.S. Mint. Her Nevada background helped give her an understanding of precious metals and the mining processes. While growing up in Wonder, she had watched the miners process silver ore until it was converted into small bars and sent off to the mint. She had been fascinated with this process her entire life.
Adams was reappointed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1966 and remained in that position until 1969. Adams reported that she had no problem being accepted into this position. She was the second woman to have the position of Mint Director, following the May 1933 – April 1953 tenure of Nellie Taylor Ross. As director of the U.S. Mint for eight years, she had the highest public position ever reached by a Nevada woman.
When she took over the mint, it was in need of reorganization. New presses had not been ordered and there was a looming coin shortage created by coin-operated machines and an economy surging back from a recession.
Because it was difficult to purchase new coin presses, workers had to modify existing machines to produce more coins. They raided government arsenals for machines, originally designed for making jackets for rifle bullets and turned those into coin presses. They even took the presses from the old Carson City Mint, still maintained for their historical interest, and refurbished them to be used in production.
At the same time Congress ordered that silver be taken out of coins. This was necessary because the price of silver tended to stay higher than the face value of the coins. The mint began issuing "sandwich money" made of common metals. Once that happened, the older silver coins were bought and hoarded by collectors and silver coins disappeared from common circulation. The short-term result was that coins were in even shorter supply. Under her direction, the Mint was able to find an adequate substitute for silver in coinage by employing copper-nickel clad composition.
Adams was director of the Mint during its fastest-growing period, authorizing and supervising the construction of a new mint in Philadelphia, which was said to be her proudest and most lasting accomplishment of her career.
She was quoted in 1983 at a reception to honor
the publishing of her oral history,
Dress like a queen
She served on boards of directors of several corporations and foundations and was a consultant to the Chairman of the Board of Mutual of Omaha. In 1969 she resigned from the U.S. Mint when President Nixon came into office and wanted a Republican for the position. After retirement she continued working for Mutual of Omaha in Washington for a time, but ultimately retired to Reno.
In 1963 she received a Distinguished Nevadan Award at the University of Nevada, Reno. In 1966 she was presented with the Treasury Department's Exceptional Service Award. In 1973 she was named one of Nevada's Outstanding Women of the Century, and in 1985 was inducted into the Nevada Women's Fund Hall of Fame. In 1982 she completed an oral history entitled, "Windows of Washington, Nevada Education, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. Mint."
She died in Reno on August 23, 1991. At her funeral, former Nevada congressman Ralph Denton spoke eloquently of Adams. "Pride and loyalty were the noble qualities that epitomized her life. In this 20th century, she was truly a pioneer woman, encompassed with binding family ties from her earliest years, yet liberated in the strongest contemporary sense."

need breeder recommendation for Washington, DC area (MD, VA, PA, DC)
Hello Everyone,
This is a first post from a new member. I have done a bunch of research but it is starting to make my head spin so I thought I would ask the helpful members on this site.
I thought I would give some background information and a description of my "perfect dog" and see which breeders in the Washington DC area you suggest. I am willing to travel up to about 300 miles. A site visit and meeting the breeders are musts for me.
Background: dedicated GSD owner who recently lost his 16 year old GSD rescue. We love the breed and want to get the best GSD that is most suited to our lifestyle and needs. So, we are going the breeder route this time.
Rank order of priorities
1. health
2. temperament
3. intelligence
4. trainability/drive (medium)
5. conformation
Relationship with new dog:
Perfect Dog: My wife and I are seeking a family companion. We had health issues with our GSD rescue so a very healthy dog is a top priority.
We socialize with other people and dogs on a daily basis in a variety of situations. If we can take the dog with us, we generally do so. Thus, a very even temperament is a top priority. While I can handle dominant dogs I prefer not to own them.
I do lots of obedience training and will go for Companion Dog title at minimum. If things go really well I might even shoot for Utility Dog title but frankly I need to up my own game to make it that far. We exercise with the dog (long walks, hikes, etc) at least twice per day. We interact and talk with our dogs all the time. Thus, we prize highly intelligent dogs.
For drive I think a medium level drive is best. I won't be competing at high levels, will not be doing protection work and we are generally laid back people in our mid 40s. So a highly driven dog doesn't seem right for us.
Our last GSD was very aloof--even with me who she favored--and we would prefer a more affectionate dog. Perhaps part of her issues was her rough start in life--she grew more affectionate over time after we rescued her. But part of that is likely genetics.
Conformation and gender are last on our list. From my research it seems the West German Show lines are the best choice in terms of temperament and drive. We like sables, black & tans, red and tans but dislike black or white. Coloration is way down the list of priorities. Nevertheless, a pretty, black-faced female dog would be our choice all other things being equal.
Timing: we would like to start with the new puppy in late May/June/early July time frame.
Which breeders would you recommend to me and why? Also, do you have any personal experience with the breeder(s) you are recommending? And does anyone know of any particular litters that look promising and consistent with my priorities.
Thanks in advance,

In the latest issue of Money, we meet Carrie and Dan Zampich. Five years ago, the Zampiches visited a fertility clinic after trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for 9 months. The Atlanta couple, then 36 and 41, were shocked by the specialist's diagnosis: they had less than a 1% chance of having a baby naturally.
That moment marked the beginning of the couple's long struggle to conceive which, in addition to exacting an enormous emotional toll, has drained their finances. Money reports:
Over the past 4½ years, Carrie, a media promotions specialist, and Dan, a graphic designer, have seen seven specialists and undergone 11 medical procedures costing more than $80,000; of that total, $55,000 has come from their pockets. Stretched thin by medical bills, the couple have struggled to pay for treatment: They've borrowed against Carrie's 401(k) plan, maxed out their credit cards, taken donations from family and friends, and routinely worked side jobs for extra cash. "We aren't ready to give up, but if we do," says Carrie, "it will be because of money, no other reason."
The Zampich family's story is not unique. One in five couples in the United States has trouble conceiving (make that one in three if the couple is older than 35). A single round of IVF costs $12,600 on average, and it often takes three or four cycles to work. And just 25% of health care plans cover infertility treatments.
As their debt accumulates and their biological clock keeps ticking, the Zampiches remain hopeful. Read more about their infertility journey on Money.com.


text: This is the first time I will try this. Most of you know that I never have really formally proposal trades because this is not my forte. I usually have a wish list for a player(s) and let someone else figure out the salary match situation. So, Roscoe you are the man when it comes to this stuff, please put your stamp of or lack of; approval on this one big brother. Trade Partners: Detroit/Toronto/Utah/New York The Pistons get a signed Bosh from Toronto and a signed Wilcox from New York. Toronto gets Rip and Kwame, this will take care of their C and SG situation. Utah gets Maxiel from the pistons and a signed David Lee New York gets Boozer Alibi: The Knicks keeps Lee and Utah only gets Maxiel which will help Utah with their salary cap situation Whatcha think??????????????????

text: I use a level III duty holster at work and I have noticed the hood release will only engage when I depress the tab closer to the attachment point vs. the meatier stippled portion closer to the rear of the holster. Is this normal after only 2 years of use? Is it a spring I can replace or is it the wear and tear on the plastic parts? I don't want to go to release my hood and have it stick, that could be the last thing that I do.

It is important that all school personnel be trained on bullying prevention and intervention. First, and foremost, all adults in a school need to recognize the bullying is not normal behavior, not just a rite of passage. Bullying and relational aggression can cause serious, long-term and even life-threatening consequences.
In addition, USBE rule R277-613 outlines very specific expectations for school personnel:
R277-613-5. Training by School Districts and Charter Schools Specific to Participants in Public School Athletic Programs and School Clubs.
A. Prior to any student or employee or volunteer coach participating in a public school sponsored athletic program, both curricular and extracurricular, or extracurricular club or activity, a student or coach shall participate in bullying and hazing prevention training.
B. School districts and charter schools may collaborate with the Utah High School Activities Association to develop and provide training.
C. Student athletes and extracurricular club members shall be informed of prohibited activities under this rule and notified of potential consequences for violation of the law or the rule or both.
D. School districts and charter schools that offer athletics shall provide annual training to all new students and new employees and require refresher training for all students and employees at least once every three years.
E. Training curriculum outlines, training schedules, and participant lists or signatures shall be maintained by each school or school district and provided to the Utah State Office of Education upon request.
R277-613-6. Professional Responsibilities of Employee and Volunteer Coaches.
A. All public school coaches shall act consistent with professional standards of R277-515 in all responsibilities and activities of their assignments.
B. Failure to act consistently with R277-515 toward students, colleagues and parents may result in discipline against an educator's license or termination of volunteer services.

Jim Tafel's Fast Alex did not make it to the races
as a 2-year-old, but as a 3-year-old he is fast becoming a rising star.
Ridden by Curt Bourque and trained by Greg Geier,
Fast Alex was unhurried early but closed with a bold late rush to capture
Monday's $41,000 allowance optional claiming race for 3-year-olds at a mile and
40 yards by a length and a half.
Owned by the same man who won the 2007 Kentucky Derby and
Travers with Street Sense, Fast Alex might now have Tafel dreaming of his second
blanket of roses in the last four years, but more immediately Fast Alex has
suddenly jumped into the probable field for the Grade II Louisiana Derby
March 27.
Fast Alex, a half-brother to 2008 Louisiana Derby
contestant Unbridled Vicar, returned mutuels of $6.40, $3.60 and $2.80,
accomplished the mile and 40 yards in 1:41.46 and increased his career earnings
to $52,730 with his second win in three lifetime starts.
Stonestreet Stables' Island Soul, the 14-10 favorite
in Monday's event, took command in upper stretch, could not withstand the
winner but was clearly second best by a length and a half over Strategy Racing
Stable's Awesome Encore, who set early splits of 25.04 and 49.11 before
weakening to the third spot.
Soul paid $2.80 and $2.40 and Awesome Encore returned $8.20 to show.

Sorry about the slow reply. Mine is the same part number as you listed... It's also known as part # 61356923954 ... so if you want to try to pick it up off ebay for cheaper, not a horrible idea.
I know a lot of people have this problem after having the windshield replaced. The windshield on this car was never replaced.
I'm gonna try replacing the sensor and the sensor alone using this guide:
I don't see any air bubbles underneath the rain sensor lens. So hopefully that's all that needs to be done. If not, I'm out about $40 and some time... either way, still a lot cheaper than taking it to the dealer.

Time Off
I'm taking some time away from anything ambulance related, including this blog. It's been a tough few days, what with strikes and some recent calls that are playing (preying?) on my mind a little too much.
So no posts for this weekend, just some time away.
I'm taking the advice of someone with vast amounts of experience more than me, and I'm sure he's right.
Hope you understand.

You shouldn't have to apologise from taking a break from anything, let alone something you do for you and no one else. I occasionally vanish for days and weeks on my blog, just to breath a bit, and ignore Facebook when some members of the human race make me realise how annoying a lot of people are ;)
Enjoy your break, hopefully you'll have chilled out enough to carry on with everything without feeling stressed over it.
Have a beer or two. Or three. Five. Tequila shots!

Take care and rest well.

Critics warned that the government was creating a new system of university access based on the ability to pay rather than the ability to learn.
New powers to allow universities to charge "variable" fees and set up a new body - the Office for Fair Access - to oversee measures to encourage more applicants from low income backgrounds will form the centrepiece of a higher education bill to be published shortly. The Welsh assembly is to be allowed to make its own decision on whether to introduce the fees in Wales.
The bill would give universities the freedom and flexibility to charge annual fees of up to £3,000 from September 2006, under a new system which will allow students to repay them after graduation, and only when they are earning at least £15,000 a year.
The government would con tinue to pay the first £1,125 of their fees, and maintenance grants will be reintroduced. It wants universities to spend a third of their new income from fees on bursaries.
Cambridge will become the first university to announce details of its own scheme today.
The government said the proposals would place universities "on a sound financial footing" and safeguard the future and reputation of higher education in England.
It said the bill would complement the Sure Start (for under-fives), and primary and secondary school strategies which are helping to raise education standards.
But with more than 100 Labour MPs, including former cabinet ministers, due to be revealed today as the signatories of a Commons motion condemning the plans, ministers were accused of failing to listen.
Sally Hunt, the general secretary of the Association of University Teachers, said ministers had made an "absolute mockery" of the consultation exercise. "Students have said no," she said. "Lecturers have said no. Former ministers have said no. The public has said no. But, still the government seems determined to force these plans through."
Mandy Telford, the president of the National Union of Students, said: "There were too many contradictions in what is clearly the most important bill in the forthcoming session. Her Majesty spoke of 'greater opportunity' for students but the top-up fee policy will triple their overall debt. The fees policy will create a market in higher education where access to university will be based on the ability to pay, not the ability to learn."
Dr Mary Bousted, the general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, said: "We are relying on the good sense of the House of Commons to prevent this mistake from becoming law and we hope good sense will prevail."
Phil Willis, the Liberal Democrat education spokesman, said the bill would "widen the social divide" and make it "less likely that students from poorer backgrounds will access Britain's top universities". The shadow education secretary, Tim Yeo, accused Charles Clarke of "planning to burden the next generation of students with record levels of debt".
But Lady Warwick, the chief executive of Universities UK, the umbrella group which represents vice-chancellors, questioned whether there was any viable alternative. "We believe it is fair to expect graduates, and other beneficiaries of higher education, to make some contribution towards the cost," she said.
"Universities are of course aware of the concerns about the potential impact of higher fees and will take steps wherever possible to avoid poor students being deterred from higher education."

Bills to tackle terrorism, illegal immigration, crime, domestic violence. Draft bill to introduce ID cards

Northwest boys turn away Carroll with defense
Meet Nick Williams, cool as the other side of the pillow.
Practice pays off, thats what my dad tells me, Williams said. I guess this is what hes talking about.
Meet Aaron Nicholson, whose size (somewhere around 5-foot-6) doesnt come close to matching his gumption.
Ill take the open shot when the games on the line, said Nicholson, who isnt quite the 5-foot-8 hes listed at in the program. If my team needs it, Ill pretty much do whatever.
So with those two leading the way along with a big helping of tough love from Northwest coach Chris Collins the Grizzlies defeated visiting Bishop Carroll 37-32 on Friday night in a game that came down to a few clutch defensive stops, one big three from Nicholson and a whole lot of free throws from Williams.
All on a night when the Grizzlies were without 6-foot-9 forward Cortez Carr, who was injured in a loss to Kapaun Mount Carmel but will be back soon, according to Collins.
I shoot about 100 (free throws) every day, Williams said. I shoot them so much I didnt feel a whole lot of pressure when I got to the line.
Williams sank 8 of 8 free throws in the fourth quarter the first two giving Northwest a 30-29 lead with 3:23 to play and the last two giving the Grizzlies a 36-32 lead with 15 seconds left in front of a raucous crowd.
The crowd ... that was just beautiful tonight, Williams said. They were so into it. Both sides, Carroll and Northwest. It was really loud.
Neither team did much on the offensive end in the first half, but Northwest got a boost from back-to-back baskets from Nicholson off the bench in the first quarter a three-pointer and a long jumper for a 9-5 lead. Northwest freshman John Short came off the bench to hit a three-pointer with 10 seconds left in the half to give the Grizzlies a 19-13 lead.
Collins rode his team from start to finish, focusing almost solely on their defensive effort and it paid off.
Whenever you play a team like Carroll, a great rivalry and a team thats so well-coached, you shouldnt be worried about who will rise to the occasion, Collins said. I didnt know before the game who it was going to be, but I knew wed have somebody step up. I knew our guys would dig in on defense and that would trigger our offense.
Northwest led 25-23 after three quarters, and Carroll took the lead back at 27-25 before Williams found Nicholson slipping off a baseline screen for a three in the corner with four minutes remaining for a 28-27 lead.
Great job by Nick getting me the ball, Nicholson said. He really made that play happen.
It would be Northwests last field goal the rest of the way it was all Williams, hitting both shots of a one-and-one the first two times at the free-throw line. Carroll had a chance to cut the lead to two with 15 seconds left, but Connor Evans missed a pair of free throws and Northwests Alaze Grant hit 1 of 2 on the other end for the final margin.
Northwest improved to 4-5 overall and 3-5 in City League play with the win. Carroll dropped to 3-6, 3-5.
Evans and Matt Price led the Eagles with 11 points each. Williams and Nicholson led Northwest with 10 points each.
There was a lack of defensive commitment on our part tonight, which is very disappointing, Carroll coach Lonnie Lollar said. A lot of things weve been running we didnt execute very well and we didnt defend well. Credit Northwest, because they were the hungrier team tonight. They found ways to get stops, ways to get to the free-throw line.
Carroll: Wilbert 2, Carney 3, Price 11, Evans 11, Benoit 3, Scharping 2
Northwest: Williams 10, Johnson 6, Cobb 2, Grant 3, Nicholson 10, Caldwell 3, Short 3.

Early in the 1st, after a 70-yard touchdown to lead off the game, Austin Spencerhits Austin Cyr for the 26-yard touchdown. Tt's 15-0 Crusaders early.But midway through the 1st, the Red Riots get their ground game going, topped off by a Christian Mowrer 2-yard dive to the promiseland. That cut the Bapst lead to 15-6.But this night belonging to the Crusaders. Spencer hits Andrew Catlin over the shoulder for the touchdown. Crusaders win tonight, 49-18.

Greetings! Here are the HLA updates for Thursday, March 8th:
Any student that did not attend school due to religious observance should return to school with an absence note stating "Absence due to Religious Observance." Religious Observance absences are not counted in your child's absence percentage.
We will be sending home an updated HLA Discipline Code via email for all families to review with their children. Please complete the Discipline Code Receipt and return it to the school. Every student must return a signed parent receipt.
It is anticipated that in addition to the NYC Dept of Health inspection that was completed yesterday, which indicated all air quality levels are normal, our private expert company will be in the school today, after dismissal, to complete air quality testing. The testing will be completed by approximately 9:00 pm and will not affect the school or instruction tomorrow. As soon as these results are available, they will be shared with you.
Be on the look- out for Parent Surveys. You will be receiving information shortly about completing these surveys.
Have a great day.

Well it's offical. I have a new brother! Dad went all the way down to Denver to pick him up out of a kill shelter. He wasn't going to last very much longer. He had kennel cough when we got him but he's over that now. He's a year old border collie like me! He's really skinny and a little shy but he's coming around. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it yet but I guess I'll put up with him. Who knows, maybe we will get along later on. I'll see how it goes. Anyway we will be adding him soon to the site as our family so look for him. His name in Teebo :)
I am doing good. Got over my brush fear so I'm cleaner and have a lot less mats. I have been playing a lot more and have lost two pounds! I'm really looking good if I do say so myself. That's all for now.
Black Jack
Life can't get much better than this! We moved to a new house about two months ago. It's great!! Lots more room to run, and plenty of room for playing ball down stairs when it's cold outside. We started agility last month. It's a lot of fun. I'm really good at it too. We have been to two member training days and I have learned so much. I even went on the teater!! AJ bought me some weaves poles and a jump to play on at home so I can get better at them. I keep asking for a teater and more jumps (they are my favorite!) but he said we have enough for now. I'm ging to work on him and see if I can get him to buy them for me :) Some how I think he will. We are going to go play on my new agility stuff. So that's all for now.
- Black Jack
It has been a while since I have updated everyone on how I'm doing. Things are going GREAT!!!!!! I'm so happy here in my forever home. I finally know it's safe. I haven't had any back problems for a few months, and hopefully I won't anytime soon. I'm learning new tricks and learning how to trust other dogs. Sage (my new sister) is warming up to me. I can actually come in and watch tv with everyone now. It's great fun, except when tv gets to loud. I'm going to start flyball and herding lessons sometime soon. At least that's what I have been promised. I never knew how much fun life could be until now. Life is good for this border collie.
Hugs from Black Jack

Hey guys, I been browsing on here for a while with the intensions of purchasing a 13 wrx. I recently switched jobs and was in a hard financial situation so I have not gone through with a purchase yet. However the reason for this post is because a couple days ago I saw someone made a post with pics from the Oregon Trail Rally so I decided to tell you I competed at STPR last year and we're doing it again this year. The car is not a Subaru, it is a Ford Fiesta. Pretty much if some of you are local, come out to Wellsboro, PA to spectate. This is a great event and drivers such as David Higgins from SRTUSA and Ken Block will be competing.
In case you guys are interested, last year we did this and it was a great success. We wanted to make our fans part of the rally by adding their names on our car. The best part is if you attend the event, we will take a pic with you but if not, pics will be posted on our facebook fan page. To see how to get your name on our rally car, check out our website at JohnConcha.com - Your Name on Our Rally Car
And even you you don't do that ^ come out and say hello. We will be running the #348 Production Ford Fiesta from Philadelphia, PA. BTW, my brother is racing as well in his Ford Focus #648.
This is our car at last years STPR.

I have been tinkering with the vacuum system on my VW Passat wagon 2001.5 1.8T awm engine after some plastic hoses cracked. I came across this article in the audi forums(link below). The diagrams in the article look similar to my VW passat vacuum system. Before I start deleting and simplifying my VW emission system, Does anyone know if this emission simplification would apply to VW engines? It is a pretty easy to follow guide on how to bypass alot of the plastic parts.

You've seen GI's Top 50 games of 2009 in the magazine. Now check out my
personal picks.
Even the best games can have annoying elements, things we forgive
because the experience as a whole more than makes up for it. What's
harder to forgive is when those same elements keep showing up again and
again in future sequels and copycat franchises. Some elements even
become cemented into the genre. Like auto cover.
Playing video games is fun. And when you are having fun, according
to an old adage, time flies.

My 03 has a bad skip/surge around 3000 rpm's. It is most noticeable in 3rd gear at a medium to medium hard acceleration, matters not if it's hot or cold, but it does not do it every time. Generally, the turbo gauge will jump to nearly 0.1 MPa and then flutter up and down a couple of times when this skip occurs. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I've had it to the dealer three times already. They replaced the fuel pressure regulator and called it fixed. It still did it on the way home but not as bad. This week, the service manager had me try a brand new wrx w/ 9 miles on it. That one has the exact same skip also.
The gear does not make the difference. Third gear just does not accelerate as fast as first and second and does not put me into "radar hot zone" as fast as fourth or fifth.

From part of Maya Angelou's poem Phenomenal Woman:
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Wonderful design. Simple geometric shapes, rearranged in a fashion to have a deeper meaning than each individual shape. Kind of like a woman herself, the things that seem simple to some come together to make a bigger, complex picture. I like it. Lots~
