It does make someone innocent when the charge was dismissed because lack of evidence. Indicating that yes indeed I was innocent. I have paid my dues, all I can do now is go from here and live my life right from here on out. I will mourn for my son until the day we meet again in heaven. His memory will remain with me forever and where ever I go.

Uh okay. How you gonna forget your child? muchless bathe him and feed him. they may not have had an good physical evidence against you, but i mean how else do you prove someone is irresponsible and has some sort of parental gene missing?

FAKE! you were living your life seems like anyway to keep a baby strapped in a car seat left dirty and hungry is just cruel. I am glad this baby is gone from your reach!

We're any of you there? All you are going off of is what the media has said... They will say anything to make it sound more juicy and sell a paper or get someone to watch the news. I'm not going to sit here and defend myself to a bunch of strangers, who don't know me and has obvisouly alredy passed judgement off on me. Until you have walked a mile in my shoes or been through the pain and anguish, then you have no room to keep sitting there like you all are saints. God knows the truth and for that he set me free. You don't believe it, pick up a Bible. It might do you judgemental people some good. Also one more thing before I end this, how dare any of you to say your happy that my son is dead and out of my reach!!! And you call me cruel? And a fake? Take a good hard look in the mirror.... And when you point a finger at someone, your pointing four back at yourself. I am not guilty of these lies!!!!! And I love my Kristopher and would do anything to have him in my arms again..... Until next time....

Those babies were hungry? How could a mother let her children go without food?
April? Tellme how could you let your baby go without food? There isn't a man in this world that could keep me from caring for my child. Not one!
I do feel sorry for you. I hate that your child is dead. But evidently you were NOT doing what you should have been doing or the baby would still be alive. Media coverage can add on and make up to juice up the story...but the truth and the facts are- this baby is dead....and this baby is dead due to neglect.
Shame on you for even coming on here and trying to defend yourself.
You get right with God....don't come on here telling us too, we arn't the ones defending our selves against all this judgemental accusations cause our baby is was murdered by our boyfriends...or by our ignorance and neglect.
I hope you're on birth control now....cause obviously you are not mother material.

WOW! I actually agree with you on this! this is a first! but I guess I should not have said I was glad the baby was dead out of her reach and probably should have said I am glad he is not going to suffer with hunger and neglect pains anymore. And I wonder how Ms. April could put a man before her baby!

This is the last you will probably see me comment on this page... The only reason I even starting making comments is to maybe have someone understand my pain. But my hopes and prayers have failed. I know I will always be considered a monster in you as the readers eyes of this case. It justs makes me speechless that this country automatically wants to point a finger at the accused. I just wish you could have been a fly on the wall... Maybe then you would all sing a different tune toward's me and my son. To be in my shoes for one day. maybe then.... Gooodnight

nope can not even begin to feel your pain but then again I have never but some pos man before my children, once you start to actually take some responsibilty for your own actions or inactions that led to this childs death then you can bleat all you like about how frigging hard done you are, till then quite frankly you will always IMHO be some skanky boitch that thought more from between her legs than anything else. Not judging you just speaking as a mother of two that made dang sure that no man ever has or ever will come before them and that will stand true to the day I die. Had many a day where I went without food so they could eat and eat well etc etc so can never see that a poor little mite would die in such a manner, so stop blaming everyone else for your failure at doing YOUR job which was being a mother.
#49 Jun 20, 2009
all we ever hear from you is ME, ME, ME... what about those poor kids? your pain??? please why did you leave the baby strapped in the car seat and hungry? what did the baby die from if you are not at fault? So what you are telling us is that you are not at fault, is that correct and if that is the case then why was that baby so malnourished and why did the baby die? you are still here, you are not and were not starved to death! just wondering since you say your pain this and that....

Mothers need to take more responsibility for their children--as well as men. But women need to stop bringing strange men home around their kids. Get to know someone before letting them around your kids. When you see this stop you will see a decrease in children's deaths by the hands of the mother's boyfriends.

I am completely disgusted at some of these comments left here. I am Mike's brother and know damn good and well that the baby wasn't starved; he ate well everyday. If you want someone to blame, blame the hospitals down in Florida who ignored Kriss's condition.
Before leaving home from Florida, Mike and April stopped at two hospitals to have Kriss checked out. The first hospital rejected him; the second gave b.s. about insurance, then came back less than thirty minutes later saying that he's fine.
Yes, Mike has a history and April's not the best mother in the world (and her history proves that); but neither of them neglected Kriss. Both were there for him through everything, and if you've seen all his pictures, you'd know that.
And to reply to someone else's comment: "If your baby is screaming out in pain what do you do?" For your information, he was quiet the whole night. Mike rented a double bed room and Kriss slept right between him and April, and he didn't make any noise. What really happened was he vomitted and choked on his own puke throughout the night, and he was found pale-green dead in the morning.
"...but nothing is going to bring this poor child back so no punishment will ever be enough."
First, who in the hell do you think you are? And knowing what you do now, can you seriously stand by that statement? I am the only man to actually see Mike cry, and I have spent numerous nights with him buried in my arms over the loss of his son. This man cannot sleep because the scene of waking up and grabbing hold of his cold dead son replays in his mind over and over again. He has Kriss's name tattooed across his chest. How would you feel waking up to your 3-month old son dead?! No punishment is greater than losing your child and living the rest of your life like that.
Once more, I am utterly disgusted at the comments made here. Don't pass judgement on someone unless you know them ot have walked a mile in their shoes. And no, having three kids does not count. Being there through the pain, seeing and living the aftermath, and trying to find peace and continue on with life is impossible with your countless accusations and f^cked up, skewed sense of reality.

No, Dear, it does not mean you are innocent. It means act the moment there is not enough evidence to convict you. Once they have all the evidence, you will be back in jail.

how can you be really sure about what was going on? the reports say ghr following: child was found to be malnourished," dirty and kept strapped in a child's car safety seat on the bathroom floor of his parents' room at the Super 8 Motel, I just have a hard time believing the police would go to great lengths to say these things about a child if it were untrue. They even went so far as to say the other child was healthy and in good health... something is not right with this picture. I am sorry this baby had to die this way.

The police aren't the one's who wrote the article; if they did, it wouldn't say half what it does and not go placing blame to both parents who obviously, by God's grace or otherwise, are still alive.
If you go back and read the story, "Brunswick, GA (AP)." That little (AP) stands for the Associated Press who are the ones to write the report. They can take what's there and write whatever the hell they feel will make a story. Sure they'll keep some of the details the same, but they twist it enough to make it "news"worthy.
And how can I say the baby was in good health? You decide. I uploaded a picture of Kriss to my website (the link: http://rbrettman.net/Kriss_001.jpg ). You tell me if he looks in good health. This picture was taken at one of the hospitals they went to before leaving Florida. This was two days before he died. Look at him in April's arms. Please tell me, does he look malnourished?

first off, what a really, really pretty baby he was, I am so sorry he died, but to me on that picture he looks a little thin to me for a baby, almost as like he has been missing his milk fat... some people are not cut out for being parents and perhaps this is the case with this family. I don't think it was intentional but perhaps more falling on hard times and circunstances.
#58 Oct 26, 2009
I mean no offense here at all. I really don't! You obviously KNOW the people involved and I just know what I have read.(AND IT IS HORRIFIC) With that being said...Looks can be deceiving as far as how well a child, or any person for that matter, is nourished. Someone can have the appearance of just being slightly thin but when a doctor or hospital does blood work, lab work, or autopsy facts can quickly change. A person's lab work can tell if they aren't getting adequete nutrition. From the picture all I can tell is that HE WAS A BEAUTIFUL, I MEAN BEAUTIFULLLLL LITTLE BOY! He did actually look slightly thin, but that is my personal opinion.
Also, I just want to state that the fact that Mike Woods had this child's name tattooed on his chest doesn't mean anything. Once again, no offense, but I have a friend who has 9, YES 9, different men's names/initials tattooed on her! She swore with every single tattoo that she loved that man more than anything. Now she has the tattoos, the men are history and she could care less. My Point is tattoos do not mean LOVE! Tattoos simply mean you had ink done...PERIOD! Tattoos can be removed...just like this little beautiful baby was removed.

Because I got this picture out of Mike's wallet, it was dated on the back, and I asked him about it. BTW, you remember that Kriss wasn't even a few months old, so even still, this would be one of his last pictures

Good point. I forgot to mention. There is a 2.5 million dollar lawsuit right now against the state of Georgia because of slander, unlawful arrest, false imprisonment, failure of due process, and more that I can't remember off the top of my head.

President Mahmud Abbas urged Israel to reach out to the Palestinian Authority government and work for peace between the two nations. "An independent Palestinian state is a vital interest to Israel." Abbas argued peace between Palestinians and Israel would change the entire Middle East and relieve tension in the region. It would also create the basis for an extended peace between Israel and other Arab nations such as Syria. However, the Abbas message included a warning that no peace could be achieved until Israel halted further construction of settlements in the West Bank and in Jerusalem.
The European Union in December supported the idea of Jerusalem becoming the capital of two nations-Palestine and Israel. Such a step would be symbolic of the importance of peace between the two nations.

Suggestions For Locker in 1986 CJ7 Dana 44 Rear & Dana 30 Front
Good day all,
I am 15-1/2 years old and my dad traded his bike for me and got me a 1986 Jeep CJ7, with a small block 350 TBI, TH350 Trans, Dana 44 Rear, Dana 30 Front. We just got new Big Daddy Tie Rods and Drag Link, new ball joints, and tie ends. I live in Orange County, California and expect to do desert & some rock crawling, and mud when I find it.
I was wondering:
1. What brand of Lockers I should buy and why?
2. Where to buy at lowest cost? (being only 15-1/2 I dont make the big $$)
3. Where to have it installed?
Thanks all,

First off you may need to be careful with the go pedal. Stock Dana 30s and v8s don't like each other. Ultimately you might wanna just stay open front and rear and look for some good deals on the forums for something better to spend your money on in the meantime. Unfortunately it sounds like you may not have the resources to swap in something better on your own.
Warning: My cheap ass opinion is based on my cheap ass. Some people hate auto lockers on the street. Some people hate spools/welded on the street. Some people hate everything. This is what I like.
Aussie locker front and Lincoln Locker rear would be my first choice without upgrading to bigger axles. Very cheap.
$240 for the front locker and whatever a welding buddy would charge to weld the rear. Install the Aussie lockers yourself. If you can pick your nose you can do this.
Aussie lockers front and rear would probably be a lot safer with that engine though.
$240 each = $480
If you have the money then ARBs front and rear would be best.
Install the Aussie lockers yourself. If you can pick your nose you can do this.
ARBs not so much like picking your nose.

I changed the 7-8 gear shift rod in my Dads semi's 13 speed roadranger transmission when I was 13. So no doubt you can install lockers. At 15 Always take it easy on the gas pedel, That pedel can cost you big time money in repairs.

If you're going for any tire bigger than a 33 with that drivetrain, I 100% have to x2 putting some thought into leaving them open while saving for better axles.
But, to answer your questions-
1. Aussie, or comparable lunchbox(stay inexpensive)
2. WayneHartwig

As it has already been said. Everyone here has thier opinion. But, one that we all agree on is that the D30 in front is probably your biggest weak point with what you have.
You should start searching now for something to replace it with. Don't have to do it now but keep it in mind when you go on runs and talk to people. Ussually if you get a bunch fo Jeep guys together someone will always talk about thier upgrade. Pay attention. When they upgrade they ussually take things off as well. Chances are they are also upgrading to something really beefy and removing something you might be able to use.
Clubs and websites are your best bet.
I personally like the Ford 8.8 for the rear of my 86 CJ7. And I run a Vortec 5.7
For the front you need at least a D44.
I did runa D30 for a while as well. I suggest carrying extra ujoint for the axles with you at all times. Go to Harbour Freight and pickup the ujoin service tool kit. 50 bucks I think and it is nothing but a big C-clamp to help change your axle ujoints. Keep this with the jeep at all times as well. And if you are trying to climb something and hear a loud pop, stop and look, don't just keep the foot on the skinny pedal. Ujoints are not that bad, but unless you are going to carry extra axles you could be broke for a while.
Since you already have a D44 then I would put a lunchbox locker that your budget can afford. You can also do that for the front but keep in mind. Putting money into a D30 is not always the best course of action. If you get addicted to crawling and then get into this sport seriously, everything you put into it you will replace.
But, the lunchboxes are cheap. But my definition of cheap and yours could be very different.
ARB's are nice. But the pricetag is also high as well as the install of the gears of you can't do it yourself. That also doesn't take into consideration of the pump.
The OX locker price doesn't include the cable either.
Detroit is a good choice as I like maintenance free. No air or cables required. Just drive. But they are not the most desirable on the road, especially with a stick. Easier to deal with when an Auto is in use.
Nothing is cheap, but you just need to plan and save and try not to waste money for a quick fix.
I bought my daughters 67 Jeepster and we are replacing all the suspension with that from a stock 06 Rubicon. Becuase I was given all the parts for free from others upgrading. And since this Jeepster will never see anything over 35's (33's are planned) and only mild wheelin. It is a good choice for her.
If you also find a good supportive club, ussually you will find local experience and even help with what you want to do.
At some point while using Jeep speak you will here a loud @#$PLOP$#@. That was your head being pulled out of your ass. Now clean the shit out of yours ears and listen.

X2 on what FreakAccident said. I have a welded rear and Aussie in the front. Mine is primarily a trail rig also.

Skip the lockers and spend your money on dressing it up:
New paint
Sound system!!!!!!
At your age looking good at High School is much more important than wheeling in the hills; breaking your equipment and spending your time fixing it.
Doll up your rig and start dating the rich girls.
Just my opinion
Good Luck

I would say instead of trying to do both lockers wait and do one at a time. Do the rear upgrade the axle shafts and a locker then save and to the same in the front. I agree that V8s and d30s don't go so well together but if you are smart you will be ok.
There should be a ton of good places in SoCal to get the work done, 4 Wheel Parts is pretty inexpensive and there should be one near you.
If you are looking to go cheap you can do Auburn, lock right and Aussie are cheap just remember you get what you pay for with lockers.

His axles are strong enough and will hold up fine to a TBI 350 and a slush box on 35" tires with lockers. Hell, a 4.0 with a header and an airfilter puts out more HP then a TBI 350 (Thats 210 hp of axle breaking meaness right there )
Get 2 Aussie Lockers. Maybe twin stick your t-case. Its a Jeep, other then maybe a set of seats, and a radio, anything cosmetically you do to it other then touch ups with a rattle can is a waste of money. Best place to buy them is right here in our vendors section. You won't find them cheaper anywheres and alot of guys just because you are a pirate4x4 member give you special pricing. This may or may not be the case with aussies.

As we all know, Hostess is in bankruptcy. A lot of people are really upset about the loss of certain iconic brands of crappy baked goods filled with fake whipped cream. Not me. The gas station chocolate muffin is all I need.
I call them gas station muffins because I most often encounter them on the way to the bathroom after filling my tank. I eat them religiously, washed down with coffee, to help keep me awake during long drives, and they haven't let me down yet. But gas stations aren't the only place you'll find gas station muffins. You can find them just about anywhere junk food is sold.
Unlike the Hostess CupCake, the gas station chocolate muffin is not affiliated with any one company. In fact, it's often the only thing for sale at the gas station that's unique. While candy, drink, chip or other snack brands remain the same from place to place, it seems that each chocolate muffin maker is different, as if each town has its own chocolate-muffin bakery, or there is some extensive network of store-brand chocolate cupcake distributors that operates below my radar.
Whatever the true structure of the chocolate muffin cosmos, at least it contains a shred of truth-in-advertising. My ongoing side-by-side trials suggest that gas station chocolate muffins billed as "double chocolate" do indeed contain more chocolate than muffins called "chocolate" or even "chocolate chocolate."
A recent survey of gas station muffins within a two-mile radius of my house turned up three different brands: Deli Fresh and Brownie Bakers both make "double chocolate" muffins, and Bon Appetit makes a "chocolate chocolate muffin," which literally pales in comparison to the other two, looking more like "pumpkin pumpkin" and tasting like blueberry coffee cake with added chocolate.
What we're looking for, in addition to a deep ebony color, are the characteristics that one would expect to accompany that color—namely deep nothing-but-chocolate flavor with chocolate chunks. The ideal muffin's density and concentration of chunks add up to a formidable snack commensurate with the largest cup of cheap coffee the gas station has to offer.
Being a muffin, not a cupcake, the gas station chocolate muffin is devoid of frosting, but the better examples come with an artfully soggy cap, the consistency of which mimics frosting. Beneath that gooey cap, the interior should be relatively solid and dry, yet somehow remain moist and supple. This is achieved with the help of a long list of unpronounceable ingredients. Sugar, being the most recognizable of these, might be the muffin's healthiest ingredient, too.
I like to accompany my gas station chocolate muffins with black coffee, even though I normally take cream and sugar. The muffin, masticated with sipped coffee into a homogeneous slurry, becomes the ideal combination of flavor and buzz that will last until your car's gas tank is empty again.
With these chocolate muffins so readily available, there's no need to mourn the Hostess CupCake. The gas station variety may not have frosting or Cool-Whip-like filling, but it's bigger, beefier and better. And hopefully it has chocolate chips.
You can mourn the demise of the Twinkie, if you must, in that no similar substitute is widely available. I've never understood what was appealing about Twinkies, so I won't be missing them. But if ever there were a junk pastry whose loss is truly worth mourning, that would be the personal-size pecan pies that have quietly all but disappeared from our nation's gas stations and convenience stores. Like gas station chocolate muffins, these pecan pies came in a variety of brands, though Bama was the dominant player in the market. Alas, in recent years supplies of personal pecan pies have mostly dried up. No more solid disk of corn syrup-cradled flaky crust that had shattered long before you opened it. The crushed pecans that give pecan pie its character have become so expensive that Bama has downsized its distribution of personal pecan pies to the company's core geographic regions: Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. If you're gassing up outside of those states, you're going to have to stick with chocolate muffins.
And that's probably for the best. While those pies disappeared in two or three bites, gas station chocolate muffins are built to satisfy the most intense bouts of munchies.
Hostess will be missed for nostalgic reasons, not because it offered anything of true value. And now that it's out of the way—and with the worthy personal pecan pie tragically following it toward oblivion—perhaps the humble, anonymous gas station chocolate muffin will finally get the attention and respect it deserves.

Caddo Deputy Elected D.A.R.E. Vice President
A Caddo sheriff's deputy has been elected 1st Vice President of the Louisiana D.A.R.E. Officers' Association.
More than 100 D.A.R.E. officers from around the state elected La Tienda Pierre to the post during the annual D.A.R.E. training conference in Pineville. She's now in line to become the president of the Louisiana D.A.R.E. Officers' Association in 2016-17.
Pierre has been a Caddo deputy since 2005 and a D.A.R.E. officer for three years. She teaches the D.A.R.E. curriculum at Blanchard, Keithville, and Walnut Hill Elementary Schools as well as Southfield School.
"When I was chosen to become a D.A.R.E. officer," said Pierre, "I made a commitment to myself to do as much as I can for this program. I was once a D.A.R.E. student and I am proud to keep representing what this program is all about."

A Dallas probate court judge dismissed deadlocked jurors and declared a mistrial yesterday in a bitter battle between Harold C. Simmons, the Dallas billionaire, and two daughters for control of his business empire.
Judge Nikki DeShazo set March 3 for a retrial but ordered the two sides to start attempts to negotiate a settlement. Lawyers involved said any settlement agreement appeared doubtful. The first trial took nearly eight weeks.
The estranged daughters, Andrea Swanson and Scheryle S. Patigian, contended their 66-year-old father had abused his power in controlling the two trusts that hold most of the fortune he amassed as a corporate raider in the 1970's and 1980's.
The two women and two other sisters are named beneficiaries.
The estranged daughters argued that his success in building up the trusts' assets did not give him the right to use them as he pleased. Actions they questioned included donations to conservative Republican political candidates they loathed, the purchase of luxury homes for his use, jewelry for his third wife, and distribution of millions of dollars into charitable foundations that made gifts in his name.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Simmons's defense was that he had stayed within the broad powers allowed him under Texas law. He argued he had been a generous father and depicted the two estranged daughters as spoiled financial incompetents manipulated by greedy husbands.
The six jurors unanimously agreed that Mr. Simmons had breached his financial duty as a guardian of their inheritance. But they were hopelessly split on other questions that had to be answered to resolve the case.
The result suggested Mr. Simmons ran a high risk of losing control of his wealth if no settlement was reached. But for now his power over the trusts is unrestricted.
The public companies held by the Simmons trusts include NL Industries, a Houston chemical manufacturer; Valhi Inc., which owns 74 percent of NL, as well as a chain of Arby's restaurants, a waste management business and other operations; the Titanium Metals Corporation, the world's largest titanium producer; the Tremont Corporation, a holding company with NL and Titanium Metals stock as its main assets, and Keystone Consolidated Industries, a Dallas-based steel manufacturer managed by Mr. Simmons's brother, Glenn.
These holdings are controlled mainly through the Contran Corporation, which sits atop the pinnacle of 50 private companies under the Simmons umbrella.
Analysts said the stocks of the public companies might initially become more volatile if Mr. Simmons could not retain control, but that the end result would be unpredictable. For instance, any outcome that forced Mr. Simmons or a successor trustee to sell a large chunk of NL could send its price down sharply because it is thinly traded but it might very well rebound to an even higher level if putting more shares in public hands made it more attractive to institutional investors, said Robert Koort, who follows the company for Smith Barney. NL finished today unchanged at $13.75.
''If Simmons loses, it would probably cause all the cross-ownerships to be simplified,'' said Jonathan Glaser, whose Los Angeles investment firm, JMG Capital Management, owns just over 5 percent of Tremont.
Mr. Simmons said during pretrial proceedings that he has only $30 million of his money outside the trusts. Their assets reflect his extraordinary track record as a financial entrepreneur, a career he prepared for by training as banker.
His first purchase in 1961 was a Dallas drugstore, which swelled to a chain of about 100 stores when he sold it 12 years later.
Mr. Simmons became known as one of the most feared and unpredictable corporate raiders. He acquired some companies like NL and reaped tens of millions of dollars from others that he threatened, like the Sea-Land Corporation and the GAF Corporation. His last major takeover foray came in 1991, when he sought to purchase Lockheed, which later merged with Martin Marietta.
The trial and the events that preceded it were marked by mudslinging common to many battles over family estates, albeit with more zeros in the sums than most.
Mr. Simmons, normally a reserved if plain-speaking man, cried while testifying about his failed first marriage to Mrs. Patigian's mother and his futile efforts to reconcile with Mrs. Swanson.
The legal battle over the trusts broke out early in 1996 when Mr. Simmons was confronted by the Internal Revenue Service, which insisted that one of the trusts was his property for tax purposes.
Mr. Simmons then sought his daughters' support for dissolving the trust. Otherwise, he would be liable for more than $250 million in estate taxes if he died or hefty gift taxes if he retired as trustee.
But Mrs. Swanson viewed the proposal as a scheme to reduce the daughters' inheritance. Their strained relationship collapsed when his single-minded pursuit of the financial juggling led him to insist on serving legal papers related to the proposed changes quickly on all affected descendants. That required dropping them in the crib of her son, Ryan Swanson, who had recently been born three months prematurely and was vulnerable to infection.
Mrs. Swanson responded by not only refusing to cooperate but demanding an accounting of the trust assets and Mr. Simmons's management activities. She was soon joined in her battle by Mr. Simmons's first-born daughter, Mrs. Patigian. The two other Simmons daughters, Lisa Epstein and Serena Connelly, testified on Mr. Simmons's behalf.Continue reading the main story

The Game [1]
I'm a serious packer and I'm great at getting a suitcase filled with more than my roommate thought could fit in there. So when I discovered a packing game, I knew I was in trouble. This game is so addicting! You have been warned!
The object is to pack as much of the stuff on the left side of the game field as possible into the suitcase on the right. There are straps going vertically and horizontally that you use to strap the items into the suitcase. If you want to rotate an item, drag it to the bottom of the suitcase over the drag here text.
You have five minutes to stuff that suitcase full of items. Then you can submit your scores for the weekly prize drawing, or you can restart. You can see the prizes beneath the suitcase.
When you're happy with your score or run out of time, click Submit and a pop up will appear asking for your name and e-mail address to enter you into the prize drawing the week.
I am so addicted to this game; I can't even begin to describe how much fun it is. Check it out for yourself!

Hi there
First of all, whether or not some people think that Steinberg are wasting R & D resources on what they may regard as a gimmick, I think Steinberg are actually being quite canny and forward thinking by doing this.
Apple have just announced their purchase of PrimeSense the motion tracking company, and will no doubt be integrating it into future products. Therefore it is only a matter of time before we see this as standard within the next year or so - probably built into laptops etc - just the way we have seen voice control do. So Cubase getting a head start on development for this now, and in terms of how the UI will be integrated, is actually the right way to go.
Very good business sense, and exciting too.
Regarding whether to get Leap motion or Senz, there is obviously the cost difference between the two, but also I am wondering if anyone has any experience of real world usage in terms of how much does one have to use motions which are at a specific angle to the computer screen. I would rather buy the one which is less restrictive in terms of having to be so angle specific, as for me the beauty of something like this would be to use it when you're sitting back in your chair thinking about a lyric or something, and then you want to 'gesture / press play' but if you have to lean forward to put your hand right over the leap motion for example then that kind of defeats the purpose of ease of use.
I also have seen some of the other software apps for LM and they seem cool - like controlling the Mac for general purposes, however if because the Senz being positioned on top of the screen means that you have more of 'an area' to work with when gesturing so less restrictive then I'd probably favour that one. (Even though I hate the idea of attaching anything on to my amazing new apple retina mac book of fear of scratching it ha!
Any thought?

Wed. October 24, 2012 | John C. Cotey | Email
Countryside High School has to forfeit six football games — five of them victories, two of them critical district triumphs — because its administration screwed up some paperwork, failed to communicate and can't, apparently, understand rules.
Of course you aren't.
If there is one thing that has defined the administration at Countryside the past few years, it's a breathtaking ability to bumble and bungle its way through what many would find to be rather easy tasks.
The booster club imploded two years ago.
There have been letters of admonishment from the Pinellas County Area 2 superintendent for the administration's lackadaisical efforts in vetting volunteer coaches.
And now we have this: a football player was allowed to play despite the Florida High School Athletic Association telling Countryside he couldn't until the proper paperwork was filed.
It never was. But coach Jared Davis said he was given the green light by administrators to play quarterback Christian Strong anyway.
Well done, fellas.
The school will appeal, but the paperwork issues and residency flubs that may go even deeper should temper any hope. And it doesn't excuse Countryside of an incredible pattern of sloppiness.
The school district said Wednesday that it isn't planning to look into this beyond what the FHSAA has already investigated. And really, what's another letter in someone's file anyway?
This time, it would be nice to see someone, anyone, take responsibility, to step forward and apologize to the parents and players, to the 24 seniors whose final season of high school football has been tainted.
Maybe administrators need additional training — or new jobs. Something that doesn't require so much paperwork, or so much diligence.
Parents of the players are rightfully livid, their sons devastated and disillusioned.
Today, people are angrily pointing fingers, and there's clearly enough blame to go around.
First, at Strong, the transfer from Canada who said he was living with relatives, but who the FHSAA said wasn't.
Secondly, at Davis. If a school official really told him Strong's eligibility checked out, then his biggest mistake might be trusting his administration. He should have placed his own call to the FHSAA.
Thirdly, at athletic director Steve Blumer and assistant principal in charge of athletics and activities Lewis Curtwright, who inexplicably failed to do their jobs, which many are wondering if they should continue to hold.
And lastly, at principal Gary Schlereth.
Yes, we know, principals delegate. They can't be everywhere, can't look over every scrap of paper that comes across their desk.
And besides, they have people for that.
But how many times can Schlereth hide behind the failings of people for whom he is responsible?
Does he have a point?
In April, that letter that the FHSAA sent to Countryside, notifying the school that Strong was ineligible for the spring and saying it needed to check back with the organization before playing him in the fall? That letter was addressed to Schlereth and Blumer.
Schlereth told the Times Wednesday night that he emailed his athletic administrators in July telling them to "make sure your I's are dotted and T's are crossed on the quarterback." He said he asked Blumer again in August if it had been taken care of. Blumer, he said, told him it had been.
"The people I have responsible for that,'' Schlereth said, "didn't follow through.''
At the end of the day, he admits, the buck stops at his desk. I'm not sure he quite believes that, but Schlereth is responsible for the administration of all aspects of the school's athletic programs, and it says so right there in the FHSAA handbook.
When it comes to the football program, he has failed.
The booster club imploded under his watch. A district policy requires yearly audits be examined by the principal, but when they weren't filed no one seemed to notice, until a quarter of a million dollars was unaccounted for, money that was raised for the benefit of student-athletes.
Schlereth was reprimanded last month for his school's sloppy process of registering volunteers, and it wasn't the first time. He was scolded by Area 2 superintendent William P. Corbett because two years ago there had been similar concerns about the same issue, and Corbett wrote to Schlereth in his letter of reprimand that he had been verbally instructed to correct the process, which he clearly didn't do.
Those may sound like minor instances, but with the screening process being ignored when it comes to letting volunteers work with kids, you could argue that Countryside has been very fortunate.
And now, this.
I have no doubt there are people assigned to responsibilities by Schlereth who are not fulfilling them. Maybe they're confused, as Blumer was about the rules surrounding a player having legal guardians, as in Strong's case.
But can that always be an excuse? Is Schlereth that uninvolved in athletics that he couldn't, in this case, be bothered to monitor the eligibility of a high-profile transfer who plays a high-profile position for his very high-profile and successful football program?
It's hard to give him a pass on the forfeit of six football games and a team's postseason chances because he delegates responsibility.
We know where he is pointing his finger.
But after a while, I wonder: is it time to point a finger at him?

Mission Statement: Provide clients and managers a friendly, collaborative environment where client goals can be met in a cost-effective and personal fashion. We use technology to provide online status updates for our clients in real time. Educating clients and managers is an important part of our practice. Because informed clients are the best clients, Mr. Tankel is active in the local chapter of the Community Associations Institute and frequently posts informative articles and videos on his blog and on YouTube (see our Web site to access these links). The firm's primary focus is on collection of unpaid assessments for condominium and homeowner associations.
Mr. Tankel has always believed that clients are entitled to have the best lawyer available for any particular matter. When cases come up that Mr. Tankel feels he or the firm cannot handle in a cost-effective manner, the client is referred to local counsel who can handle the matter in a prompt, cost-effective fashion. Few clients understand that lawyers in large "one-stop" law firms have an obligations to their partners to keep work within the firm, even if that means the very best lawyer for the job may not be handling it; Mr. Tankel has no such restrictions on recommending other lawyers to his clients.
Born in Chicago, Mr. Tankel is a lifelong Cubs fan. He started school at the University of Florida with a B.A. in Political Science in 1978, and earned a J.D. with honors from the University of Florida in 1981. Mr. Tankel was active in student government and was elected president of the John Marshall Bar Association. He was a member of the Law Review and a variety of other student organizations.
After graduation, Mr. Tankel began his career with Becker & Poliakoff, a condominium law firm, where he opened the Clearwater and Ft. Myers branches. In 1995, he left and opened Robert L. Tankel, P.A. in Dunedin and has grown from one lawyer with three support staff to add another lawyer of-counsel, Michael Milo, and a support staff of 10 full-time people. He is now in his 27th year of near-exclusive condominium and homeowner association representation.
Mr. Tankel lives in Dunedin, Florida, with his wife Terri of 25 years, their son Aaron, and their Golden Retriever Roxie. His daughter, Judith, is a freshman at Florida State University. His son, Scott, received his undergraduate degree from the University of Florida and now lives in Israel, where Scott is a volunteer serving in the Israel Defense Force.

Does Ute Construction work for the insurance company? –
No, we work for you, the homeowner. However, due to our years of experience serving Las Vegas, we have developed good working relationships with most insurance companies that enable us to effectively work with them in your best interest. BACK TO TOP
The insurance process and terminology.
- The insurance process can be frustrating, confusing and may provide a settlement that is insufficient to complete repairs. Our experience and reputation in this industry will ensure you are treated fairly because the insurance adjusters in this city know we do the job right.
Some insurance terms you may come across are:
- Adjuster – This is the representative from the insurance company that prepares and submits estimates and reports regarding your damage to the insurance company.
- Depreciation – the amount of money the insurance company deducts from your settlement in response to age and/or wear and tear.
- RCV – Replacement Cost Value – this is the total or 'gross' figure to repair or replace what was damaged.
- ACV – Actual Cash Value – this represents the figure after subtracting depreciation and your deductible from the RCV figure.
- Holdback – The holdback is typically the depreciation figure that is held by the insurance company until all repairs have been completed and proof of completion has been submitted to them.
- Recoverable Depreciation – As above, this is money withheld by the insurance company until a proof of repairs form is submitted. After proof of completion is received, they will issue a check to complete their settlement for repairs.
- Non-Recoverable Depreciation – The money that is deducted due to wear and tear that is NOT recoverable. You may wish to call your insurance company to learn if this applies to your policy and if so, what portions of the policy (coverage on the house may be RCV but the coverage on your pool or fence may be settled ACV). BACK TO TOP
My House is unliveable, can I get help finding temporary residence?
If you find your home unlivable due to a loss, we can work with your insurance company as well as specialist companies set up just for this situation. Usually, a temporary dwelling would be required for a fire or other large catastrophe. BACK TO TOP
Do I have to pay up-front?
Typically the only up-front payment would be your deductible. With our years of experience we know the insurance company may take months to get you your settlement and we understand. We will be in contact with your insurance adjuster and make all efforts to keep any stress with regard to payment off of your shoulders. BACK TO TOP
What is a work authorization form?
A Work Authorization is an agreement between you, the homeowner and Ute Construction to allow us to complete the required repairs to your house. BACK TO TOP
What is a work completion form?
A Work Completion Form is a form which you, the homeowner, signs when all repairs have been completed. This form is typically sent to the insurance company as proof that all repairs have been completed to your satisfaction, so they will release the 'holdback' to complete your settlement. BACK TO TOP
I might have mold, what do I do?
If you think you may have mold, do not disturb it, call a professional. The process of removing mold is typically referred to as mold remediation or mold abatement. Our certified staff will check to ensure your home is free from dangerous high levels of mold spores. For more information regarding mold, click HERE. BACK TO TOP
My possessions are damaged, can Ute Construction help?
If your possessions are damaged as a result of a loss, we can help clean and/or pack-out the contents to enable repairs to begin. This is typically covered by your insurance policy, however you should discuss this with your insurance adjuster to ensure coverage is afforded before work begins. BACK TO TOP

DataGridView.AutoResizeRows Method (DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode)
Adjusts the heights of the rows using the specified size mode value.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
- autoSizeRowsMode
- Type: System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode
One of the DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode values.
autoSizeRowsMode has the value AllHeaders or DisplayedHeaders, and RowHeadersVisible is false.
autoSizeRowsMode is not a valid DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode value.
autoSizeRowsMode has the value None.
This method is useful if you want to control when rows resize. The row heights are adjusted only once per method call; if the contents of the rows later change, the rows will not automatically adjust. To resize a specific row, use the AutoResizeRow method. To resize a subset of rows, use the AutoResizeRows(Int32, Int32, DataGridViewAutoSizeRowMode, Boolean) overload. To set the rows to automatically resize whenever their contents change, use the AutoSizeRowsMode property.
For cell contents to wrap onto multiple lines when a row is resized, the cell style in effect for the cell must have a WrapMode property value of True.
This overload lets you specify a sizing mode that calculates the new heights based on values in a limited set of cells, such as those in displayed rows only. This improves performance when the control contains a large number of rows.
For more information about programmatic resizing, see Sizing Options in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.
The following code example demonstrates how to resize all rows based on non-header cell content. This code example is part of a larger example provided in How to: Programmatically Resize Cells to Fit Content in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2

This chronic condition causes a sensation of tightness in the chest of varying severity, and it also creates shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and gasping. While asthma generally presents in childhood and continues throughout a person's life, some people do develop asthma later in life.

Northampton secured a home tie in the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup with a comfortable victory over an under-strength Castres side at a snowy Stade Pierre-Antoine this evening.
Tries from man of the match Joe Ansbro, Phil Dowson and Ben Foden ensured the Saints go through to the knock-out stage as one of the top four seeds, as well as recording a 100% record in Pool One – becoming the first English team to do so since Bath in 2002. No team, however, has ever won the competition – or even reached the final – after winning all of their group games.
Castres put up a fight, with tries from Pierre Bernard and Sébastien Tillous-Borde, but it was not enough to protect their unbeaten home record.
The Saints travelled to France knowing victory would secure them a home tie, having already secured a quarter-final spot with a 37-0 victory against Edinburgh last weekend. The visitors put out a strong side, with Mark Sorenson the only change from the Edinburgh victory, the lock forward replacing Christian Day.
Castres had seen their slim hopes of progressing disappear with defeat in Cardiff last weekend and, with an important Top 14 match against Stade Français coming up on Thursday, the hosts made 10 changes – resting six of their key players, including Romain Teulet and France winger Marc Andreu.
Saints took the lead in the 10th minute when Roger Wilson picked out Ansbro and the Scotland international found some space down the right to race clear. However, fly-half Stephen Myler missed the conversion.
After Vincent Inigo had made a try-saving tackle, the visitors extended their lead minutes later with a drop goal by Myler, but they were not finding it as easy as they might have expected on a cold night in the south of France.
Snow started drifting down as Northampton increased their advantage thanks to Ansbro's surging run from deep. The 20-year-old ran most of the length of the field before the ball was moved wide for Dowson to cross, Myler adding the extras for a 15-0 lead.
The hosts got back in the game on the half-hour mark when the impressive Tillous-Borde's pass allowed Bernard to score Castres' first try, which the fly-half converted.
But the outcome was all but decided shortly before the hour when Foden raced clear to score Saints' third try of the game after more excellent work from Ansbro, although Myler was once again wide of the mark with the conversion.
Castres made a number of changes – including bringing on France prop Luc Ducalcon – but it made little difference and the Saints went further in front in the 72nd minute with a Myler penalty.
The hosts were denied a second try when referee Peter Fitzgibbon ruled that Tillous-Borde had been held up over the line, but the scrum-half did succeed seconds later when he crossed in the corner.

Retailers considering crunch by the London catwalks
By Paul Casciato
LONDON (Reuters) - The catwalks are humming and buyers are still trawling the stands at London Fashion Week, but behind the scenes luxury clothing retailers are considering the knock-on effects of a global financial crisis.
President and CEO of Aquascutum Kim Winser told Reuters an economic downturn resulting from the credit crunch -- which claimed major global investment bank Lehman Brothers this week -- could split the retail market.
"I think at the top end it's continuing to do well so long as the product is strong enough and it's interesting enough," Winser said after Aquascutum's show on Tuesday, where white, delphinium blue, lightweight silk and patchwork wafted down the catwalk.
"I think at the bottom end probably business is going to do quite well because some people are going to be in a very difficult situation. Probably the middle is going to hurt a great deal."
Winser is in the midst of a five-year turnaround strategy for the 155-year-old British brand, owned by Japanese apparel maker Renown, which includes deals with luxury U.S. retailers Bloomingdale's, Saks and Bergdorf Goodman as well as markets in Russia and the Middle East.
High-end British luxury retailers such as Aquascutum, privately owned Jaeger and publicly traded Burberry are banking on their heritage, alluring collections and international clientele to keep sales buoyant.
"We're not immune because we've got 70-odd shops across the UK," Jaeger Chief Executive Belinda Earl told Reuters after a show that tapped its 124-year-old archives with a display of color and prints mixing floaty pieces with tailoring.
"But we do know that when the customer loves something, as we've seen with our autumn collection, she is wanting it." Continued...

January Jones
Kicking off the weekend a little early, January Jones made her way to Paramount Studios for the 2nd Annual Rebels With a Cause Gala last night (March 20).
Sporting a $140 Topshop dress, the "Mad Men" starlet worked the arrivals area like a pro and mingled with fellow famous females like Anna Kendrick.
Showing off her sexy and seductive sides, January Jones went into an exclusive interview for Violet Grey, showcasing some of the "Mad Men" starlet's finest snapshots.
Telling the Violet Files all about her sassy style, both on and off the red carpet, January said of her shocking statements, "I try to take risks and shock people a little bit. It's important to provoke some sort of emotion, negative or positive."
Giving fans just a taste of what they can expect this spring, "Mad Men" just released an epic teaser trailer for its seventh and final season!
Featuring cast members Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss and others in powerful poses throughout, the trailer showcases fashion trends consistent with the era.
Winning the throwback photo trend on Twitter, January Jones posted a hilariously awkward pic on Sunday (February 23).
In what appears to be a school portrait, the "Mad Men" star wears a multi-colored print button-down shirt and gold stud earrings. Looking quite proud, she also sports a gap-teeth smile and a a short blonde boyish haircut.
She's on one of the most beloved television shows of all time, but January Jones still gets star struck just like the rest of us.
The "Mad Men" hottie posted a photo with her new costar Ethan Hawke on the set of their film "Good Kill" along with the caption, "A dream come true to be working with the incomparable Ethan Hawke! #GoodKill."
Taking a break from her busy schedule, January Jones enjoyed a delicious lunch in Brentwood, CA on Tuesday (February 11).
The "Mad Men" beauty donned a striped t-shirt with blue pants and black Oxfords as she made her way out of the restaurant with a beverage in hand.
Hoping the scare the bejeezus out of audiences, January Jones signed on to star in "The Shuddering."
Directed by George Ratliff, the thriller follows a woman who returns to the town where she began experiencing strange visions to try and discover their meaning.
Kicking off her weekend with some retail therapy, January Jones went shopping with a friend in Beverly Hills on Friday (February 7).
The "Mad Men" star looked fresh in a white blouse, matching pants, and a pastel pink coat as she chatted with her gal pal.
Stepping out solo for some weekday retail therapy, January Jones went shopping in Beverly Hills on Tuesday (January 28).
The "Mad Men" star looked cute in a pale pink blouse, jean jacket, and black pants as she strolled around in high heels.
Making the most of the mild winter weather, January Jones took her son Xander to a local park in Los Angeles for some active quality time yesterday (January 22).
The "Mad Men" starlet treated her youngster to a ride on a swing and plenty of romping around the grounds while fellow park-goers and shutterbugs looked on.

The women of Big Break III spent last week being wined, dined, and flown, boated, and trucked across the country, from Orlando, FL to Williamsburg, VA.
In this week's show, the glitz and glamour came to an end: someone was going home.
The women of Big Break III spent last week being wined, dined, and flown, boated, and trucked across the country, from Orlando, FL to Williamsburg, VA.
In this week's show, the glitz and glamour came to an end: someone was going home.
Despite what the glowing reader reviews found on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com lead me to believe, The Green, by Troon McAllister, is a disappointing book at best.
The story is narrated by Alan Bellamy, "Player of the Year" and Ryder Cup captain. After being defeated for $20,000 by a public links hustler named Eddie Caminetti, Bellamy names Caminetti the 12th man to the US Ryder Cup team. Heavy underdogs this year, the US team members witness Eddie's play and agree to pay him $100,000 if he helps them to win or keep the Cup.
The first page promises that things eventually go "haywire," but the expectation remains sadly unfulfilled throughout the book's 289 pages.
This is just a quick reminder: The Big Break III premieres tonight on The Golf Channel. Hosted by Vince Cellini and Stephanie Sparks, and with women instead of men, this season of The Big Break looks to be an interesting departure from the Lesley Swanson/Rick Smith/men mold of the first two seasons.
Check our previous article on The Big Break III, which takes place at Williamsburg, Virginia's Kingsmill Resort.
Have trouble getting it up? Cleveland can help. Cleveland has put together a marketing campaign for men who suffer from "trajectile dysfunction."
The ad campaign was kicked off on the Web at a few weeks ago at trajectiledysfunction.com and is now hitting television screens across the country (particularly in homes with The Golf Channel). The campaign, which plays off of Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and countless other pills for men who have trouble "hitting their woods," is an attempt to draw attention to Cleveland's Launcher 460 Comp, a composite-crown driver being played by a man who's "risen" to the top of the world golf rankings, Vijay Singh.
If you're not satisfied with your ability to "go long," Cleveland Golf is looking to help.
I was over at Barnes & Noble a couple of months back and, like a true fanatic, was perusing the golf section and I came across a book I had to take home. "The Sweetest Game," by Cal Brown is a collection of anecdotes that serve to instruct and humor anyone who loves the greatest game.
In his chapter, "Golfers Are Born Losers" Brown quotes the proverb that says: "God gave us music that we might pray without words" and goes on to say, "The Scots gave us golf that we might suffer without guilt." Everyone who has played golf for any length of time knows what Brown is talking about and that is what makes this book so much fun. It's golf in the raw - the struggles of the greatest players in history as an example for the weekend hack.
Tiger breaking the camera in that Nike commercial is all the buzz these days, and we've got more for you: a clip from "Inside the PGA Tour" featuring the director, Tiger, and some lovely footage of what a striped 3I from the Tiger can do to a piece of expensive glass.
Click here to play the commercial (8.8 MB, QuickTime MPEG-4 video).
Rumor has it that on the first take, they told Tiger to hit the ball a foot or so over the camera. He hit it about four inches above. From sixty yards away. That shot wasn't quite good enough, so on the second take, they told Tiger to hit the camera.
It is rumor no more. Check it out.
P.S. Be sure to also check out our forum after you've checked out the video.
Nike filmed a few new commercials recently, and Tiger Woods is the star of one we've titled "You Have a Decision to Make." This is no ordinary commercial, though: Tiger pulls off something a little special in the final seconds.

Mac news site MacMinute is reporting that Aspyr Media announced that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 will be available on Mac OS X. Its release is anticipated for May, 2005. Y'know, only six months or so after the game came out on consoles and for the PC.
As we know, TW2005 allows you to "Tiger Proof" courses, includes a ton of playable characters and a pretty extensive "create a player" option, and quite a bit more. It should be available for pre-order soon for $39.99.
I've been playing the game since its release on GameCube and, well, I'm kind of sick of it by now. I'm 117% done. Heck, I've even got Tiger Woods 2005 for my Nintendo DS! Ho hum. But hey, today's hardly the day to complain about being a Mac user!
With Big Break II wrapped and finished, The Golf Channel is preparing to air the next round of challenges and episodes of the Big Break series: Big Break III. After watching the season premier of Alias (mmm… Jennifer Garner…) last night, this is the perfect time to catch my attention with a photo montage of the BBIII contestants over at about.com.
And, best of all BBIII was filmed in Williamsburg at Kingsmill Resort; as much as I can, I'll try to provide some local insight into the course and the area. Kingsmill also hosts the Michelob Ultra Open, where the winner of BBIII will earn an exemption.
The Big Break III: Ladies Only premiers on February 8 on The Golf Channel.

Hard to tell without looking but - mag's are critical components.
Can you be more precise? What happens if you ''slow load'' - watching round from above as slide goes fwd?
Will it ''slingshot''?
Two things in particular to check - is mag engaging at right level - so top round is presented high enough? Are mag feed lips holding/offering top round at right angle?
Also, is follower free?
Small discrepancies can have major effects.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to organize a cruise down to Dub Dash 10 from Columbus. I am planning on heading down Saturday morning so here is what I was thinking.
9 A.M. - Meet at Tim Hortons on Hilliard Rome Rd. just off of 70 West (there is room to park in the Kohls parking lot behind Tim Hortons)
10 A.M. - Leave for Dub Dash, the drive is only a little more than an hour from there so we have plenty of time to get there for the noon drivers meeting.
Here are driving directions for anyone who wants to see them and see where the meeting location is in Hilliard.
Who is in?

Texas Tosses 'Homosexual Conduct' Law, Clears Two Men Arrested at Home
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(NEW YORK, June 8, 2000) — A Texas appellate court on Thursday declared the state's "Homosexual Conduct" law unconstitutional, overturning the convictions of two men arrested by Houston police in an apartment for having consensual sex, said Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, which defended the men.
The Texas Court of Appeals held that the statute – which bans consensual, private oral and anal sex between adults of the same sex – violates the Equal Rights Amendment of the Texas Constitution. Texas has had a sodomy law since 1860, but decriminalized sodomy by opposite-sex partners in 1974.
In his 2-1 majority opinion, Justice John S. Anderson wrote, "The simple fact is, the same behavior is criminal for some but not for others, based solely on the sex of the individuals who engage in the behavior....[W]e hold that [the sodomy law] violates the Texas Equal Rights Amendment's guarantee of equality under the law."
The court added, "Moreover, it does not follow that simply because the Texas Legislature has enacted as law what may be a moral choice of the majority, the courts are, thereafter, bound to acquiesce. Our Constitution does not protect morality; it does, however, guarantee equality to all persons under the law."
Lambda Deputy Legal Director Ruth E. Harlow, who argued the case before the appeals court last November, said, "The court has rightfully put an end to a law that has made lesbians and gay men second-class citizens in Texas. Finally, they can rest assured that when they retreat to the privacy of their own bedrooms, the government will not barge in to declare them criminals."
Suzanne B. Goldberg, a Lambda senior staff attorney who also worked on the case, added, "Today's decision means that an excuse often used for discrimination against lesbians and gay men in employment and custody decisions is gone. Lesbians and gay men no longer are subjected to a double standard for their private sexual intimacy."
In September 1998, sheriff's deputies, responding to a false report of an armed intruder, entered Lawrence's Houston apartment, where they said they found John Lawrence and Tyron Garner having sex. Police arrested both men and held them in jail for over 24 hours before releasing them on $200 bond each. The two men pleaded "no contest" to the charges in criminal court.
The state Constitution's Equal Rights Amendment provides that, "Equality under the law shall not be denied or abridged because of sex, race, color, creed, or national origin." The appeals court ruled that the Texas sodomy law, which applies only to same-sex partners, violated the amendment by criminalizing conduct based solely on the participants' sex.
In issuing its decision, the court did not address the additional privacy or federal constitutional arguments in the case because it had already invalidated the sodomy law on other grounds. It is up to the state whether to appeal the court's decision.
Upon hearing of the ruling, John Lawrence said, "At least this nightmare brought some benefit for all of us in Texas. I am thankful and relieved that this horrible experience may finally be over."
Lambda Cooperating Attorney Mitchell Katine, an attorney with the Houston law firm Williams, Birnberg & Anderson, added, "At last, lesbian and gay Texans are free from the indignity of this law."
The appellate court's decision now leaves only three states – Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma – with laws prohibiting consensual sex acts only between same-sex partners. Twelve more states have sodomy laws that apply to both gay and non-gay couples.
Lambda currently represents the plaintiffs challenging the Arkansas law, and also is assisting in a lawsuit to overturn the sodomy law in Louisiana. In 1998, Lambda helped overturn the state sodomy law in Georgia.
Lambda will open a regional office in Dallas in 2002, adding to its regional offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta, and New York City headquarters. Founded in 1973, Lambda is the nation's oldest and largest legal organization serving lesbians, gay men, and people with HIV/AIDS.

Thought I'd post some pics of my shoulder armor to see what you all think.
LMK if it needs more weathering ;)
Robert E. :fettrotj
The color and weathering turned out really nice. What base color(s) did you use for the yellow/orange?
I used Rogue Studio's (Lee's) found colors.
Reefer yellow for the base yellow 3 coats, misted over that with the up armor yellow(heavyer in some spot to give them lighter and darker spots, and Cat whisker yellow around the silver.
I used Grimy black for some weathering, white, yellow,black, and a mist of semi-flat black and just a slight mist of Burnt Umber spray Toner/stain(not much at all , in the MOM pics there are DRK Reddish spots) Then I used a Satin clear over it all.
Colors work Great! Thanks again LEE!
Robert E. :fettrotj
I think they look really good. You should be quite happy with the job you have done.
Shoulder armor and color looks great! :eek:thumbsup
Keep up the great work.
Pretty sweet job there. Weathering looks dang good to me! :thumbsup
Nice bells! Those colors are so sweet, it beat's any other color out there.
Have you painted the gauntlets with the Wisconson maroon yet? I'm assuming your going ROTJ, the maroon is spot on!! Red gauntlets, or any other color for that matter, just dosn't cut it anymore now these paints have surfaced.
Looks good! Congrats! :cheers
Nice Robert, those are rad colors you used!:fettrotj
I'm Off work all next week to work on my ammo belt orders ;)
Hopefully I can work in painting the gauntlets. They are sprayed chrome and ready to go. :D
I'll post pics after I get them done.
Thanks for ALL the Compliments.
You guys are GREAT!!

My jaw just fell to the floor looking at that accurate and nicely painted armor. I love it, and keep the good work.

Ooohhhh...You probably mean my belt. :p No, it's Vinyl.
