A little Background
I'm 24 yrs old a mother of 1. My son is 5 yrs old. I'm ready to have my body back. I have lost weight over the past couple yrs but that lower pouch is not going away, plus i want more booty. I'm 5'5 140lbs. Never really had a big butt or hips, when i was skinnier it didn't really matter too much because what i had fit my body type. I been thinking about the procedure for a couple yrs now, went to some consultations, but of coarse life got in the way school work and everything else. Now 2013 im not getting any younger and i want to enjoy my body the way i used too. I'm not sure if more kids are in the future maybe if i get married, but not anytime soon. I'll post some preop pics a little later.
Possible doctors
I been looking on this site alot and Dra yily and Dr. Jimmerson stood out to me the most. If i get the procedure BBL lipo, i want to be 100% happy with the result. No question Yily can do the best sculpting but Jimmerson has the J curves on lock. Not looking for a massive booty but i definately want projection that is noticable. Just a little worried that Yily might not give the projection i want, yet i know she can give me hips. I love her prices, Jimmerson's prices are crazy but look at the results he gives on the booty, i haven't seen good hips with him though. Also worried about going over to DR never been on a plane before lol!! Plus its kind of another country, so many good and bad things i have read about that but Yily is good at what she does and is very professional and open to questions. I been to ATL plenty of times. i haven't had a consult with either yet.
Expected Dates
I want to shoot for november for my procedure. Not in any horrible rush because i want to be sure of my decision. I am going to get it done this year no doubt.

I had no idea what to expect with a video title like that! I'm glad I pressed play because this was a good one. Oh yeah, and the song choice couldn't have been better!
"All credit for this edit humbly goes out to Chris Whyte and Greg Sing, I cannot express my gratitude. You are both the coal in my fire, such tremendous inspiration and frankly the only reason I can get out of bed in the morning. I could only dream of slaying rails even half as good as you both can.

The genuine SysMonitor.exe file is a software component of Acer Empowering Technology by Acer.
Included with Acer laptops, this background process monitors system activity and any potential hardware issues. Discovered issues are logged and relayed to you through a message client. Acer is based in Taiwan, and recently shifted their focus from manufacturing to design. Founded in 1976, they currently produce laptops, desktops, mobile devices, and a large variety of additional hardware and software.
SysMonitor stands for System Monitor
The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the SysMonitor.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process belongs to software Acer Empowering Technology by Acer (www.acer.com).
Description: SysMonitor.exe is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. The file SysMonitor.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 49,152 bytes (61% of all occurrences), 319,488 bytes or 344,064 bytes.
The program has a visible window. The file is a file with no information about its developer. SysMonitor.exe is not a Windows system file. SysMonitor.exe is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. The application starts upon Windows startup (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). SysMonitor.exe appears to be a compressed file. Therefore the technical security rating is 47% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify SysMonitor.exe related errors
If SysMonitor.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files", the security rating is 34% dangerous. The file size is 319,488 bytes (92% of all occurrences) or 326,176 bytes. The program has a visible window. It is a file with no information about its developer. The SysMonitor.exe file is not a Windows core file. The software starts upon Windows startup (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). SysMonitor.exe appears to be a compressed file.
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as SysMonitor.exe. Therefore, you should check the SysMonitor.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with SysMonitor. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the SysMonitor.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Junior Rachel Palmer broke the pool and meet records with a time of 2:21.67 in the 200 individual medley and also won the 100 backstroke and took second in the 100 butterfly to win the NAU Pentathlon for the second consecutive year Friday afternoon in Wall Aquatic Center. Junior Emma Lowther won both the 100 fly and 100 freestyle and was second in the 200 IM to take second among the 24 Lumberjack swimmers competing in the event.
"I'm absolutely pleased with the overall results top to bottom," head coach Andy Johns said. "They're ahead of where they were last year and that's a great thing. So many people swam so much faster than last year and this is not an easy event."
Palmer, the 2011-12 NAU Female Athlete of the Year, would have also broken the meet record in the 100 fly in 1:04.53 if Lowther had not broken the record in 1:03.59. Lowther also broke the meet record in winning the 100 free in 59.20 while freshman Ellie Morrissey placed second in 1:00.53. Morrissey also placed fourth in both the 200 IM and 100 breast to lead all newcomers with a third place overall finish.
Junior Stirling Smith also broke a meet record and took first place with a time of 1:14.33 in the 100 breast while junior Jordan Burnes was just behind at 1:14.55, a time that also would have broken the program record. Senior Fi Connell placed second in the 100 back in 1:06.25 and was third in the 100 breast to finish in fourth place while Smith added a sixth place finish in the 200 IM and finished fifth overall.
The NAU divers will have their first competition of the season when they join the swimmers for the Blue vs Gold meet on Oct. 12 at 2 p.m. in Wall Aquatic Center.

It's not often that a metropolitan city gets to experience Collaborative Consumption in the epicentre of its most famous intersection. Yet, for the last three years, Torontonians have been able to take part in a massive community swap at Yonge-Dundas Square—equivalent to New York's Times Square—where they can "shop" without spending a dime. The swap meets are inspired by the vision of making barter accessible to Canadians and showing there is value beyond money.
"A brilliant and fun idea that helps the planet and the wallets." commented a participant as she left the Swap Zone.
"Got enough new-to-me books to last me and my family for months – for free" tweeted another swapper.
These highly popular events are organized by Toronto-based Swapsity.ca, a social enterprise that champions the swapping movement in Canada, both online and offline. The Swapsity Swap Zone engages participants of all ages in Collaborative Consumption, demonstrating that media should be loved not landfilled, shared not stashed and that clutter can become currency.
The stats of these swapathons are impressive, to say the least. To date, Toronto swappers have amassed more than $200,000 in savings, recycled 30,000+ items and swapped over 25,000 things at the Swap Zone. Yet, the true value of the experience lies not in these numbers but in the human aspect of swapping. The events facilitate face-to-face exchanges of personal items, bringing people together and making participants feel empowered.
In the words of veteran swapper, Meka Jones, "It's so empowering! Even if you're working a lousy job, you still have skills and stuff in your house that you can swap."

I see you guys talking trash about Suzuki cars, and I dont really blame you. But understand, they put these cars out, because they sell more, and are not a huge risk. Remember Suzuki makes the worlds fastest massproduced THING on the road, The Hayabusa.
Look at the famed Escudo.
This is kinda old news, but be ready for this to hit the streets as well, You will get a surprise from it as well, and it is POWERED by a turbo Hayabusa engine!

I thought about tapping it and putting a hex head allen in there. Easy to take apart and service.
I'm not either, but I thought I read somewhere that the barrel on these have to be fixed in place and cannot be made to be taken off easliy.
The Suomi take down lever is demilled such that the rivet head on the left hand side is drilled out there by allowing removal of take down lever before heating receiver with torch. Unfortunately this leaves the take down lever a bit of a mess.
Easy enough fix though. Remove demilled pin stub by cutting off. File surface relatively smooth, but minimize any material removed (important not to take off material). Drill and tap for #10-32 grade 1, long shank bolt (this case I used a Panhead). Install bolt (apply Locktite if you wish) into hole and torque tightly. Remove bolt head by cutting. Take down lever is now restored for final fitting for length and forming rivet head. Another option would be to thread shank end for a nut instead of forming rivet head then pin the nut.
I'm sure there are many other ways to restore these levers, I just thought this method was easy enough.
Did I do that?

I'm not either, but I thought I read somewhere that the barrel on these have to be fixed in place and cannot be made to be taken off easliy.
I need to read more on the subject. As far as fixed barrel maybe a way to keep it looking as authentic as possible would be to use rivet head, then spot weld takedown lever in place such that it cannot be turned. Another way would be pin the lever to the front filler and fill with weld (blind pin). Not sure if that way would even be okay - need to do some research. I'm not sure why these are different from say a semi Uzi or MG-42 and such where they would require fixed barrel. I definitely do not know everything and it's well worth looking into.
Do you remember where your build thread was located ? I'd like to read what you have to say and what you found out along the way.
Almost forgot; Only thing to figure out in using a allen head or other type bolt would be to get the bolt to bottom out without putting axial load into the bearing surfaces and also to keep the axial free play down to a minimum. The preload will be your primary locking feature - without it you would need to pin it or go with some other alternate locking feature. May just have to make custom length bolt by threading the shank to get just the right fit.
Did I do that?
Weaponeer has had a lot of posts on these the last few months, including the legality (or not) of having a receiver capable of accepting an original length bbl via the quick change feature. Some believe since guns like the Uzi have features to prevent dropping in a subgun length bbl the Suomi must have something similar. Others point to the TC decision and say nonsense. Who knows? Unless ATF sends out a letter spelling it out one way or the other specific to the Suomi, it's all just speculation anyway.
Hell will freeze over before the ATF spell out anything well enough to rule out misinterpretation. Seems vague is the name of the game to that beaurocratic creature.
" 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
Bureaucracy is what keeps these guys employed, without bureaucracy what would they do?
On the Uzi agrument, there are aftermarket barrels in the 10 inch range that are built to slip right in on a semi without any mods reqd. Maybe the argument may relate to possession of short barrel, along with the associated rifle with barrel over 16", could be taken as intent to construct a SBR - so would possession of a hack saw also be taken as intent where one could cut a 16" barrel shorter??
I know, logic doesn't apply but had to try anyway
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
Did I do that?
Tommerr, who is a member of this board, has a BATF approved solution to this problem. And it allows the barrel to be removed.

So I am soon finishing my AOS at the CIA and I need to come to a decision about whether or not I am going to stay for bachelors. My goal is to one day run a kitchen, and I know many chefs do not have a degree whatsoever and have learned in the industry. I learned a lot during my externship and all of the cooks there tell me to just quit school and start cooking. I am currently enrolled to start bachelors in June, but can quit anytime. I would quit and go back to work, but I am worried that not having a bachelors degree could hold me back somehow and It's just a year and a half more of school how could it hurt? I am financially stable so it comes down to decision of spending the time to do the program itself. I know it will either work to my advantage, or it could just be a piece of paper sitting on my desk for the rest of my life. I don't know how it could affect me in the long run. Any advice? Thanks guys

If you are financially comfortable and the extra 1.5 years doesn't really make a difference I would recommend getting the BA. The reason being is it gives you options down the road. You may think you want to work in a kitchen for the rest of your life, but then again you may get tired of it in 10 years. You never know how things are going to change and I know because it happened to me. I had a bachelors to fall back on and it opens up other doors should you want to pursue something new.

Forget the BS go out and get a good job. You can always go to night school for BS degree. As far as a chef A BS will not make you more money. If later you decide to go into Upper management then think about it. You dont need a BS or for that matter even an associates to run a kitchen or cook. I know plenty of people out of culinary schools that are not capable of running a kitchen even after years of their graduation. You have to have it in you.

I have no advice, I'm not qualified. BUT I feel I need to remind you that once you begin to work in this industry, you'll be working non-standard hours, and probably long hours. It is going to allow little time to pursue your other degree. So if you can swing it, I'd say do it now. You won't learn as much, but if it makes a difference in the culinary industry, then now's your chance.

Cruising Fleets (1909)
From Report of the Secretary of the Navy
The return of the Atlantic Fleet from its world cruise was an event of great interest to the nation and to the navy. This long voyage was successful in every respect, and it is worthy of note that while the fleet was entering the Suez Canal word was received of the earthquake in Sicily, thereby giving this country the opportunity to show its friendship for Italy and its interest in the cause of humanity by giving swift aid to the sufferers. The Connecticut, Illinois and Culgoa were dispatched to Messina at once. The crew of the Illinois recovered the bodies of the American consul and his wife, who had been entombed in the ruins. The Scorpion, our station ship at Constantinople, and the Celtic, a refrigerator ship fitted out in New York, were hurried to Messina, relieving the Illinois and the Connecticut, which continued on the cruise. The fleet reached Hampton Roads February 22, where President Roosevelt reviewed it as it passed into the roadstead on schedule time. From Hampton Roads to San Francisco the fleet was under Rear-Admiral R.D. Evans, and from San Francisco back to Hampton Roads was commanded by Rear-Admiral C.S. Sperry, the success of the cruise testifying to the able efforts of these officers.
The benefits of this cruise around the world to both the officers and enlisted men are in the increase in efficiency and economy in steaming, the lessons that have been learned in keeping the vessels self-sustaining, the training in holding vessels accurately in formation and in battle exercises, and the great improvement in target practice. The cruise also developed the desirability of certain alterations, especially the removal of unnecessary and unused top hamper and the substitution of the skeleton fire-control towers for military masts. These alterations were made immediately.
The Pacific Fleet, consisting of 8 armored cruisers, cruised from San Francisco to Talcahuano, Chile, and back, stopping for target practice at Magdalena Bay. This target practice was interfered with somewhat by the necessity for sending vessels to Central American waters, owing to the disturbed political conditions.

What are the kidneys?
Your kidneys are a pair of organs in your abdomen. Each kidney is about the size of a fist.
Your kidneys are part of the urinary tract. They make urine by removing wastes and extra water from your blood.
Urine collects in a hollow space (renal pelvis) in the middle of each kidney. Urine passes from your renal pelvis into your bladder through a long tube called a ureter. Urine leaves your bladder through a shorter tube (the urethra).
Your kidneys also make substances to help control blood pressure and to make red blood cells.
Attached to the top of each kidney is an adrenal gland. A layer of fatty tissue and an outer layer of fibrous tissue surround the kidney and adrenal gland.
What is cancer?
Cancer begins in cells, the building blocks that make up tissues. Tissues make up the kidneys and the other organs of the body.
Normal cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When normal cells grow old or get damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when the body doesn't need them, and old or damaged cells don't die as they should. The buildup of extra cells often forms a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor.
Tumors in the kidney can be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Benign tumors are not as harmful as malignant tumors:
- Benign tumors (such as cysts):
- are usually not a threat to life
- can be treated or removed and usually don't grow back
- don't invade the tissues around them
- don't spread to other parts of the body
- Malignant growths:
- may be a threat to life
- usually can be removed but can grow back
- can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs
- can spread to other parts of the body
Kidney cancer cells can spread by breaking away from the kidney tumor. They can travel through lymph vessels to nearby lymph nodes. They can also spread through blood vessels to the lungs, bones, or liver. After spreading, kidney cancer cells may attach to other tissues and grow to form new tumors that may damage those tissues.

Car: Passat Wagon B5 1.8T my 1997 (AEB engine, Highline w/ leather-alcantara sport seats), factory-installed seat heaters
I have the following situation: Seat heater on driver side is completely non-functional, while the passenger seat heater works fine. Will go through the steps following the current flow.Tools needed:Some related topics
Diagnosing heated seats - How to remove dash switch
How to fix your heated seats and other seat related stuff - Good guide by TwoManyPassats
- T40 Torx bit
- T25 Torx bit
- Socket wrench (1/4" is good for the torx screws and 1/2" is most probably the size of M8 triple square socket)
- Flathead screwdriver
- Philips ph2 screwdriver
- Multimeter with resistance, continuity and voltage measurement
- M8 Triple square socket
- About 15cm of shrink tube w/ glue (from 3mm to 1mm is fine for this job, but nothing bigger)
- Spray glue (I used small pieces of the heater element fabric as patches and spray glued them on)
- If you want to be exact, also a needle and some thread for sewing the heater element back together
1. Check fuses
- There are 2 fuses related to heated seats,
* #5 10A mini-fuse for dashboard lighting, including heated seat control switch lights
* #44 30A regular fuse for seat heater current.
2. Check dashboard control switch operation
- Simplest way to check operation is to try the switch on with a seat that is known to have a working heater (thanks soundguybob)
** This is due to the fact that the switch is transistor-controlled, it will not pass voltage to the heater element if either the element or the thermistor are faulty.
- Check that you get 12V from pins 6 and 4 (directly from fuse #44)
3. Remove seat (NOTE: SIDE AIRBAG! USE PRECAUTION)
- Slide seat to front, remove plastic covers from both sides above the rails behind the seat
- 2x T40 Torx screws in the front of the seat rail, a plastic clip pin in middle - 20Nm, so your 1/4" socket wrench does the job
- Remove battery negative cable
- Slide seat back to detach seat from the guide rails
- Tilt backrest all the way to front
- Remove seat heater green 6-pin connector
- Ground yourself by touching the door striker or other chassis part
- Remove side airbag connector (yellow)
- Place electrical tape over the airbag connector in the seat frame and to the harness side connector
- Wiggle the seat out of the front door
4. Check backrest heater element continuity and resistance
- Remove the backrest heater connector (black / white) from seat underside
- Measure continuity between the two pins on the white side
- Resistance in a working backrest element - measured 1.2 ohms from my backrest, so should be fine. If there is a greater resistance within the heater element, you probably do have a partially damaged wire somewhere
- No continuity / Infinite resistance
-> remove backrest
-> search for burn marks and twists in wire
-> go through in sections with a multimeter /w alligator jaws and small needles if no apparent break point is not found
5. Check seat heater element continuity and resistance
- Measure continuity and resistance between the green seat heater connector and the black connector you just removed from holder with the backrest harness
** Green connector pin 4 (sole pin with two blanks beside it, black / yellow wire) - black connector pin 2 (blue / brown wire)
- Resistance in a working backrest element - measured 1.2 ohms from my seat, so should be fine. If there is a greater resistance within the heater element, you probably do have a partially damaged wire somewhere
- No continuity / Infinite resistance
-> remove upholstery
-> search for visible break points, burn marks or twists in wire
-> go through in sections with a multimeter /w alligator jaws and small needles if no apparent break point is not found
** Repairing the seat element does not necessarily require removing the backrest or even taking the whole seat off the car, but taking the seat from the car and backrest removal makes troubleshooting and repair a lot more convenient as you can put the whole seat on your workbench or table.
6. NTC-thermistor operation
- Check resistance between green connector pins 1 and 2, should be less than 10kOhms if the seat surface temperate is around 20°C
-> If infinite, either the thermistor is broken or there is a broken wire
- Remove seat upholstery and rip off the heater element from the rear of the cushion so that you can remove the metallic holder in the wire loom
- Open up the element from the rear end until you see the two shrink tubes which have a black/white wire connecting to a blue wire and a brown wire connecting to a blue wire
- Open the shrink tubes and measure continuity and resistance between green connector pins 1 and the brown wire solder point, also measure the black/white wire with the green connector pin 2
-> If resistance is infinite and there's no continuity, you got a broken wire between the green connector and the solder point -> replace
- Next measure resistance between the blue wires going to the thermistor -> should be less than 10kOhms if the heater element surface temperate is around 20°C
-> If infinite, either the thermistor is broken or the blue wires have a snap somewhere
- Desolder the blue wires from brown and black/white wires
- Remove the heater element a bit further, the thermistor is right under your bunghole when sitting
- Carefully pry the element underside open around the thermistor and remove the thermistor with its wiring
- Now measure the thermistor resistance from the solder points on the thermistor, should be less than 10kOhms if surrounding air temperate is around 20°C
-> If infinite, go get yourself a new button-style NTC-thermistor from your local electronics shop, value should be around 6,8kOhms for correct operation
-> If you get a proper resistance from the thermistor, replace both wires
*** I think if you remove the thermistor, you should replace the blue wires anyway as they are really weak, just to avoid having to go through this again in after a short while.
7. Put the thing back together
- Remember to re-measure heater element continuity after every step you do, just incase the heater element breaks during the reassembly (I was especially worried when putting the upholstery back as it requires quite a bit force to get the steel braces back in place)
- Might be a good idea to confirm the thermistor resistance too when reassembling
Disclaimer: If you fuck something up, don't blame me, I am not a professional and even professionals make mistakes, perhaps more often than I do, so I won't take responsibility of any issues you might end up with using this guide. If you are unsure about anything, brake before you break and ask for advice.
Questions about the troubleshooting process and filling in with details is greatly appreciated and welcome!PICTURES
If you want to get some fit to the seat, you can bend the cushion frame a bit inwards, but be careful if you got a wide ass... It will not be as snug as you put it, because at least the leather upholstery does not give in that much. I bent it a little, just to match it perfectly with my butt.

If there was one glaring weak point about Street Fighter X Tekken other than its gameplay, it was its story. Yeah yeah, "you don't play a fighting game for the story," I know, but at least Capcom vs. SNK and Marvel vs. Capcom were better with their respective character interactions and buildup. Battling Akuma and Rugal in the rain atop Kyoto's Nijo Castle was one of the coolest final boss moments in fighting games.
For the PS Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken, Capcom wanted to make everything bigger--more characters, more story, more action, and from what I'm seeing in these trailers they're doing a pretty solid job. First up is a look at Final Fight battle-bros Cody and Guy:
Then the Tekken characters take the stage, with Bryan Fury and his own personal JACK-6, followed by new Tekken leads Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch:
Finally, Capcom gives us an eight-minute story trailer, setting up how some of the characters meet and... somehow fight? Vega and Balrog are smarter than they look:
My only problem with that: not enough Dudley. So, fight fans--I know I haven't been playing SFxT much since I did the review, but what about you? Will the Vita version--and its new characters coming to console--make you pick the game back up? Folks who've been on the fence, does this change your mind?

This is a discussion on Wisconsin Man Charged With Choking, Beating Wife to Death Outside of Police Station within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; [Mods--please move as appropriate] Please read this in light of Wisconsin's failure to pass a concealed carry law...and where were the police!?...sadly, too late. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,258651,00.html ...
[Mods--please move as appropriate]
Please read this in light of Wisconsin's failure to pass a concealed carry law...and where were the police!?...sadly, too late.
FOX LAKE, Wis. — A man accused of choking and beating his wife to death outside the door of the Fox Lake police department was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder, the first killing in Fox Lake in 20 years.
Jeffrey A. Asbury, 40, of Fond du Lac was also charged with a felony count of eluding an officer. The charges carry a maximum penalty of life plus 3 1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Asbury's wife, Sherry, died Sunday from strangulation and blunt-force trauma to the chest and head, according to the criminal complaint.
"I know I did it. I don't know how I did it, but I know I did it. There was nobody else around," the complaint quotes Asbury as telling a sheriff's deputy.
Court Commissioner Steve Seim ordered Asbury held on $400,000 cash bond. A preliminary hearing was scheduled April 26 in Dodge County Circuit Court.
"That this crime was committed at the police department shows a disregard for the legal system," Seim said. "He allegedly admitted to the crime and there was blood on his hands at the time of the arrest."
Jeffrey Asbury was separated from Sherry, 35, since January and may have been angry that his wife was reportedly seeing someone else, prosecutors said.
Earlier this month, he called his wife 10 to 20 times threatening to kill her, his children and his in-laws, the complaint said.
Sherry Asbury's body was found in the lobby of the Fox Lake Municipal Building, which houses the six-officer police department. The office was unoccupied at the time.
A witness called 911 around 4:45 p.m Sunday to report seeing Jeffrey Asbury ram his wife's car in the municipal building's parking lot, telling authorities Sherry Asbury ran into the building with Jeffrey Asbury in pursuit.
By the time Fox Lake police Officer James Perkins arrived, Jeffrey Asbury was getting back into his car. There was no sign of his wife.
Asbury refused to cooperate so Perkins used a Taser on him, according to Sheriff Todd Nehls. Asbury broke free and drove about a mile away before his car ran off the road.
When Perkins took him into custody for fleeing an officer, Asbury had blood on his hands, Nehls said.
He told the officer, "I think she's dead," the complaint said.
Sherry Asbury, of Waupun, was found unresponsive on her back and was pronounced dead a short time later at a hospital.
It was unclear whether the victim was trying to reach the police department. Nehls said once she was in the lobby, her only chance to contact authorities would have been to use the pay phone.
"Very seldom is there anybody in (the police department)," Nehls said. "If you have a police officer sitting in the office, that's one less officer on the street where they need to be."
The department maintains one officer on duty for each shift but the lobby is always open, he said.
All 911 calls in the area get routed to the Dodge County Central Dispatch center, which relays information to Fox Lake officers and sheriff's deputies.
Fox Lake is about 50 miles northeast of Madison.

I'm going to bookmark this news story for future use.
The next time some fool online or IRL tells me people don't need self defense measures because we have police then I'm going to send them the link or print off this story for their review.
This story where there is no officer in the station is not unusual either.
I've seen this happen IRL myself at local and state police as well as sherriff offices as well. The police can't be everywhere and anywhere at once.

This just goes to show that the police cannot be every where. Her only chance would have been if she was armed or someone who saw the incidence was a ccw permit holder.
The police can not help you!!! You need to defend yourself. Steve48
A reminder once more - as about everyone has noted - the police (bless 'em) cannot be everywhere at all times. I doubt there is a cop in this great country who if asked to give a totally honest answer, could possibly admit to things being any different.
Even a super fast, ''luck-of-the-draw'' response of two minutes, because a car was nearby (assuming of course it got called in) ........ would be often too long to save a life. Things happen way too fast and this why the logical solution is that folks take personal responsibility for their own protection.
A plainer fact I cannot see, despite all the bleatings by the anti gun crowd.

Not something I ever want to listen to again.

Tennessee and Oklahoma squared off in the 1939 Orange Bowl in a classic battle of speed against size. And, when it was over, Tennessee's speed and stamina had won out by a 17-0 count. Tennessee had come into the game undefeated and No. 2 in the country and Oklahoma was riding a 14-game winning streak.
Tennessee scored first when a 15-yard penalty backed the Sooners to their 3-yard line. Vol tailback George Cafego returned the ensuing punt to the Sooner 27 and followed up the punt return with a key gain to the 12. Two plays later, Bob Foxx scored from the 8. The Vols scored a field goal after a Sooner fumble, a 22-yarder by Bowden Wyatt, and led 10-0 at the half.
Tennessee scored its final touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 19-yard run by Babe Wood on a reverse. The Vols polished off their eighth shutout of the season by stopping the Sooners the rest of the way and finished undefeated in 11 games.
Nearly 50 years later, the Vols beat Indiana, 27-22, in the Peach Bowl on Jan. 2, 1988. Reggie Cobb scored the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter to secure the win. He scored twice in the game while Jeff Francis threw two TDs.
All-time games on Jan. 2.

Is there something wrong here with me or my car?
I acknowledge it could be me - maybe I don't know how to drive my car as well as I thought. Maybe I suck as a driver. Or, maybe there is something wrong with my car.
For fun, my buddy and I decided to go and do some runs out on some deserted back roads tonight. I take him on the jump, but he holds with me right at my tail. On a 30mph roll, he jumps me and then I keep with him. On a 60mph roll, I jump him a tiny bit, then we hold together.
Now, here is what is confusing me. He has a 2003 Saab 9-3 Linear 2.0t. It is bone stock (supposedly, he bought it used) and has only 175hp. I (supposedly) have 255hp (stage 1) on a WRX. His turbo does spool faster (and I can hear it over mine when running side by side at WOT. But seriously, I have more torque.
Here are the specs of a 2003 9-3 Linear:
Horsepower: 175 hp
Max Horsepower: 5500 rpm
Torque: 195 ft-lbs.
Max Torque: 2500 rpm
As for weight, I'm not positive, but I think it is somewhere right around ours (~3000lbs).
According to Cobb, I should have around 255HP / 260 ft-lbs. So we're talking 80hp and 65ft-lbs more on my car. But even underestimating to 240ish, still...
Ok, so I have AWD and he has FWD. So I know I have more drivetrain loss. But to the tune of 80hp and 65ft-lbs?
My car has the gpmoto elbow and K&N panel filter. The filter has ~25k on it. Oil changes with Mobil 1 have been done every 3k starting at 6k (did dino oil before that). I pulled apart my airbox, and noticed what looked to be something white (powder?) coating some of the inside of the hose running from the airbox to the turbo(?). The MAF temp sensor looked a bit dusty, but only a bit, the back was clean. I didn't touch it. I had, earlier today, adjusted my wastegate arm by one full turn only. Driving it after that seemed to give the impression, of, perhaps, faster spool, but only maybe a .2psi increase in peak steady boost to 13.8psi (spiked to 14.4, though).
Now, as for me - on the launch, rev up to 4-5k, slip the clutch nice and smooth, no lurch, no burnt clutch smell, felt like a smooth launch. On the 30mph rolling start, held steady in 2nd (prolly should've stayed in 1st), then floored it. For the 60mph, held speed in 3rd, then floored it. We kinda did a 45ish roll, held that one in 2nd, then floored it. On the 30mph roll, he got the jump on me (I heard his turbo spool like a beast, spooling up insanely fast). The other rolling starts were pretty even, or I had 1/2 a car length. On the dead stop, I got the jump (thanks AWD), but then he held pretty stead about 1-2 car lengths behind.
So - me, or my car? Or does he have a stage 1 ecu flash and not know it? There is an AccessPort like device for these cars that flash them to 210hp. The car didn't have one when he bought it, but we all know there are other ways to flash an ECU. Is there anything under the hood to look for so he can know if it was modded previously or not? Looks like a stock wastegate (no BOV) and I couldn't see a MBC, but then, I don't know where to look on a Saab.
Oh, and yes, street racing is bad. It was just the two of us, as far from anyone as we could get.

A few years ago, I was given the unique honor and opportunity to serve as keynote speaker for the Mayor's Character Breakfast. I seized the opportunity to mention that, contrary to the negative warnings that I heard about Lee's Summit prior to moving to this community, my family and I had rather admired the positive and welcoming attitude. It was with ease that I concluded my remarks with the convincing claim that what I had heard was not the correct representative of the local reality.
By the time of my speech, we had not experienced the prejudiced side of Lee's Summit. The community at large and the school district in particular were not the racist places friends and colleagues portrayed to us when we announced our intention to move here. The fact was that those people had not lived here themselves. They had not experienced for themselves life in the community that they claimed to be the most racist one in the metropolitan area.
In my responsibility as leader of one of this city's human relations entities, as an involved citizen, and as cultural diversity educator, I am constantly approached with questions and concerns about issues of diversity. Questions for understanding cultural interactions abound. It is easy for me to find answers to these types of questions because, more often than we may think, ignorance leads people to cultural blunders due not to malicious intent but to lack of understanding of their own and others' cultures.
Others come rather with complaints about what they have experienced, seen or heard. These are often the most difficult to deal with. Most people present their experiences more in an accusatory way than for understanding. With the eyes of a cultural detective, I can easily determine where ignorance played a bigger role than malice. The reverse is also obvious.
When people from different cultural backgrounds interact, there always come moments of misunderstanding when cultural differences get in the way of agreement. When miscommunication or conflict occurs between persons of different races, it is often easier to attribute it to racial prejudices. The history of this nation often adds fuel to the fire.
Hiring a diverse workforce is increasingly becoming the single most visible barometer that allows people even from a distance to determine whether or not a community supports, values, and leverages diversity and inclusion. Statements of an organization's commitment to diversity and inclusion is not longer enough unless visible and obvious signs are exteriorized to indicate that what is thought and put in the books internally is shown on the outside by any observer.
Often, there seems to be a chicken and egg dilemma in diversity hiring. Where there is no diversity in an organization's workforce, on the one hand, its leadership justifies deficiency in minority staff by pointing to the lack of minorities in the pool of candidates. Often, they are right.
On the other hand, and by human nature, because people are attracted to places where they see culturally-like peers, some minority candidates would not apply to places where they do not see people who "look" like them. The situation is aggravated especially if other qualified minority candidates have been overwhelmingly rejected in that same organization.
Part II of this column is based on a real story of the reaction of people in this community when they are informed of a case where a highly qualified minority candidate was not hired regardless of qualifications.

Rhinos Get First Win
Chicago, Illinois -
The Rochester Rhinos earned their first victory of the season over the Chicago Fire Reserves on Monday, April 21st at Toyota Park. Attacking midfielder Minh Vu and forward JC Banks scored a goal in each half to pace the visiting Rhinos. Rookie goalkeeper John McCarthy kept the clean sheet in his first appearance of the season.
In the 22nd minute the Rhinos opened the scoring through a goal from Vu. The build-up started on the right flank when Rochester right back Pat McMahon pressed Fire midfielder Oscar Gonzalez and poked the ball away to Rhinos captain Tyler Rosenlund. Rosenlund was able to pick up his head and find Vu making a clever outside-in run behind the Fire back four. Vu was in on goal and kept his composure to chip the ball over the head of onrushing Fire goalkeeper Alec Kahn.
The Rhinos doubled their advantage in the 81st minute. Kahn played a goal kick out to the feet of Fire center back Patrick Ianni at the top of the penalty area. Ianni's ensuing pass into midfield was intercepted by Rhinos defensive midfielder Lance Rozeboom. Rozeboom played a two-touch pass out to substitute Johnny Mendoza's feet on the left flank. Mendoza's service found the feet of JC Banks in the Fire box, and Banks was able to finish past a diving Kahn.
The Rochester Rhinos 21 year-old goalkeeper John McCarthy, the youngest goalkeeper to ever start for the club, earned the clean sheet behind an effective back four that was composed of left back Onua Thomas Obasi, center backs Kyle Hoffer and Tony Walls, and right back Patrick McMahon. McMahon and Walls were both making their first starts of the 2014 campaign after right back Babacar Diallo and center back Patrick Slogic both suffered injuries during training this week. McCarthy was making a scheduled start after New England Revs loanee Luis Soffner started the first two matches of the season in goal.
The Rochester Rhinos 19th home opener will be Sunday, April 27th 2014 at 4PM in Sahlen's Stadium against the Charleston Battery.

Another example of political corruption by PA elected officals. An all too common sight at the court house the past few years.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin isn't going to be paid her $195,000-a-year salary while awaiting trial on charges she used court staff on political campaigns.
But an opinion issued by the Court of Judicial Discipline late Thursday allows her medical benefits to continue.
The court's majority opinion says Orie Melvin calls the charges against her weak. But the court thinks they're strong and the alleged conduct is serious enough to require suspension without pay.
Orie Melvin has been suspended from administrative and judicial duties on the high court since she was charged in May.
She's awaiting trial with her sister and court assistant, Janine Orie. A third sister, former state Sen. Jane Orie, is serving prison time after a conviction on similar charges.

Framing Your Face: Hairstyles with Fringes

Would you like to change your hairstyle without changing your hair colour or cutting your entire hair? If so, adding fringes to your hairstyle is just the right solution. No other hairstyle change could alter your appearance faster or easier. Happily, there are quite a few ways to style fringes. One of our featured stars may inspire your next fringed hairstyle choice
Hairstyles with fringes are always in style. Today, fringes come in many amazing styles. Recently, international designers had their models wear fake fringes while showing off the newest fashion (see the models for Marni and Calvin Klein).
Fringes may be swept to the side, allowed to cover the forehead straight down to the eyebrows or cut in any style. Whatever the style, fringes are always eye-catching and draw attention to the eyes.
Who Looks Good with Fringes?
Fringes flatter women with small or oblong faces and women with larger foreheads. Fringes shorten the face and in this way harmonise the proportions.
However, even women with round faces look good with fringes. Long straight fringes and precision-cut fringes with straight edges look pleasing with soft facial lines.
Tip: Thick long fringes are especially suited for full hair, while shorter fringes are suitable for fine hair. It is best to ask a Schwarzkopf hair stylist to cut your fringes. This professional stylist can advise you on the most suitable fringes for your face.
How to Style Fringes?
Styling your fringes works best after applying a generous dollop of styling mousse. Blow-drying your hair while pulling it over a round brush gives your fringes added bounce and volume, and a dusting of hairspray keeps them from falling flat after a few hours.
