Mothers do so much good for their kids that much of it inevitably -- and unfortunately -- goes unnoticed.
But some famous mom feats rise up to the point where nothing can overshadow them. Such monumental efforts can quickly elevate a mom to the Mother's Hall of Fame level.
If we had our way, such a group would include moms of all kinds, from well-known mothers such as Toni Morrison, Rose Kennedy and, yes, even Angelina Jolie down to the soccer mom struggling with a SUV full of feisty kids headed to practice.
However, with Mother's Day nearly here, we forced ourselves to settle on five iconic mothers who would be among our first choices for moms who famously went above and beyond the call of duty -- in addition to our own dear sweet moms, of course.
Sports category: Dara Torres
It's fitting that Dara Torres titled her 2009 memoir "Age is Just a Number." After all, the Olympic swimmer has made a career of proving that saying true.
At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Torres, then 33, was already the oldest American swimmer. She ended up taking home five medals in what was already her fourth Olympics.
Eight years later, she returned for the Beijing Olympics, becoming, at age 41, the oldest swimmer to ever earn a spot on the U.S. team.
Balancing swimming with being the mother of a 2-year-old, Torres took silver in all three of her 2008 events, including setting a new American record in the women's 50-meter freestyle, just 0.01 of a second behind the winner, Britta Steffen, 17 years Torres' junior.

Looking to make a splash: McLaine, Hairston set for Olympic swim trials
BY Kevin Hageland, firstname.lastname@example.com
When the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials commence Monday in Omaha, Neb., Plano West alum Maureen McLaine will be competing in three different events.
Not bad considering the Texas A&M senior's best event isn't even an option to swim.
The event in question is the mile, which is not an Olympic event for women. McLaine won the Big 12 Championship in the 1,650-meter as a sophomore and then shaved 10 seconds off that time as a junior en route to winning the event once more and crushing the Big 12 Meet record.
The "shorter events" in question are the 200, 400 and 800 free. McLaine, who finished second at state in the 500-yard free as a senior at West, qualified for each of those events and almost did same in the 100 free.
"I was so close," McLaine said with a laugh.
McLaine didn't make the cut in the 100, but has long known she would be going to the Olympic trials. After missing the cut by 0.2 seconds four years ago when she was with the Lady Wolves, McLaine started compiling qualifying times for 2012 two years ago, which is the earliest one can qualify.
The time since then has been filled with rigorous workouts.
"It's pretty much been a string of four-hour swimming days coupled with dry land workouts and weights," said McLaine, who has been training in College Station with her teammates. "But with the event getting closer, we've started to taper and gotten to rest a little."
The more relaxed schedule allowed McLaine to visit Plano over the weekend.
"I wanted to come up and see my dad for Father's Day," she said, "but it was kind of a last minute decision because we are so close to the trials and I didn't want my legs to get tired from the drive. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it really does happen."
McLaine avoided leg fatigue, but continued to court minor levels of danger.
"I was climbing up a tree in our backyard to hang a birdhouse," she said. "I was sitting there for a minute and said, 'what if I fell.' My mom was like, 'oh, please don't say that.'"
McLaine's mother, Judy, had reason to be nervous as her daughter had been in a hit-and-run earlier in the week.
"I was going with one of my teammates to HEB; we got hit and the other car just drove off," McLaine said. "I was nervous at first because that car had a big dent in it. But my car (a Mustang) obviously has a tough exterior because all it got was a little paint chip."
McLaine's week improved as she capped her trip to Plano with a celebration that included her family and neighbors, complete with a good luck sign anchored in the yard.
"Maureen is a terrific young lady who is very sweet and thoughtful," said Louie Beltran, next-door neighbor of the McLaines for 20 years. "We are certainly proud of her and know she will do great at the [Olympic trials]."
That was the overriding sentiment of the day.
"We are so proud of our daughter," Mrs. McLaine said. "This is an amazing achievement and one she has worked so hard and so long for, so obviously we are very happy."
McLaine will leave for Omaha Sunday morning. The Olympic Team Trials are June 25-July 2 at the CenturyLink Center and McLaine's trio of events have her competing at a variety of times. The 400 (which McLaine qualified for with a time of 4:15.39) is set for June 26, the 200 (2:02.81) begins June 27 with the finals the next day and the 800 (8:42.95) starts June 30 with the finals commencing July 1.
"The 400 will be a good intro to the meet for me," McLaine said. "Since I am more of a distance swimmer, my main focus will be the 800."
Only the top two from each event qualify for the 2012 London Games and McLaine's most prominent goal is making the 800 finals.
"I'm keeping a positive attitude right now and I'm excited to see how I deal with the pressure," she said. "Some swim well at this event and some don't, so my motto going in has been expect the unexpected."
McLaine admitted advancing to London may be a stretch, but when she isn't in the pool, the A&M swimmer will feverishly cheer on fellow Aggies with Olympic dreams.
"Obviously I want to be there for them because my coaches and teammates are who have pushed me to do so well," she said. "And I've got a bunch of teammates that I really do think will do well."
That type of attitude is one of the reasons the environmental design major won the Aggie Heart award this past season and has already been named a team captain for A&M in 2012-13. That's a big leap from what McLaine was expecting when she graduated from West.
"Three years ago I never thought I would be where I am today," she said. "I just wanted to be part of the scoring team in college and now I'm hoping to make the finals at the U.S. trials."
Another Wolf in Omaha
McLaine won't be the only local alum competing at the Olympic trials as fellow West graduate and A&M senior Meagan Hairston is in the 100 backstroke, which begins June 26 and culminates the next day. Hairston registered her qualifying cut little more than a week ago.
"Meagan always works extremely hard and does a good job at helping keep our team on track, McLaine said, "so I think she'll do well."

The Yukon Native Brotherhood was founded in the Yukon in 1968 when First Nations people throughout Canada were finding a common voice and working toward recognition of their rights. In 1969, the White Paper gave momentum to the Indian Movement as First Nations people joined forces to fight a common enemy.
By 1973, the YNB had initiated a strong grassroots movement to secure a land claims settlement for the Yukon. The claim was founded on the principle that aboriginal rights still existed in the Yukon Territory and that the Government of Canada had a longstanding obligation to negotiate a treaty with the aboriginal peoples of the Yukon. The presentation of Together Today for Our Children Tomorrow marked the beginning of a long and arduous struggle for a land claims settlement for Yukon First Nations peoples.

"GOOD boiler if installed properly"
99% of your problems are totally related to the way your boiler was installed. I install high efficient boilers for a living and have many Munchkin boilers installed that need no more than yearly maintenance. If they are not properly installed you will have a nightmare of problems. I installed a T80 in my 1512 square foot barn three years ago and did NOT dial it in or do anything other than hook up the water, gas, vent piping and electrical. This boiler has run flawlessly for three winters. I just recently checked the flame sense and found that it was getting close to lock out (F09). I did a before and after combustion analysis. There was a light coating of (coffee grounds) covering most of the heat exchanger. I cleaned this out with a vacuum and then brass wire brushed the heat exchanger then used a feeler gauge between the tubes. I then water washed the heat exchanger and flushed the drains. I found the flame rod was too far from the burner and the gap of the igniters was at 3/16 instead of 1/4 inch. The difference of the before and after was only 1% loss of efficiency with the water inlet and outlet temperatures the same on both tests. The only difference was the exhaust temperature was 5* higher in the dirty test due to the dirty heat exchanger. These boilers if installed properly will not be a problem. So ALL of you that are complaining need to have someone competent reinstall your boiler.

K Jaeckel - Your blower failed on the new boiler for the same reason it failed on the old one. OH and the heat exchanger failed for the same reason probably. Exhaust reversion WILL destroy the boiler.

"Munchkin now Contender re-engineered and fixed"
Installed a Contender(used to be Munchkin) on Friday with my contractor. Heat on same day. Zero problems. Water quality can effect any HE boiler. Unqualified installations will negatively effect any boiler/furnace install. My contractors love the service/cost/quality balance they get from me. I have a direct dial to the HTP rep. for any questions/concerns. We have had zero problems with the Contender. Every install has many variables which create a custom situation and demand for custom installation. For instance a furnace needs 37 things to go right for it to work. Not that it created your issues , but find a quality installer to start with.

"Munchkin A OK!"
I am an plumbing contractor in NJ. I have personally installed almost two hundred Munchkin or Contender boilers made by Heat Transfer Products.In all the installs, I've had two minor issues that popped up in the first couple of weeks. One was a bad wire harness and the other and bad board. Other than that I've not had a single issue even if the homeowners don't perform the required service when they should. I have no doubt almost any issue can be traced back to an improperly installed boiler/system. In fact about 35% of my boiler work is repairing other contractors boiler installations. Dollar for dollar, HTP offers one of the best products on the market. I will continue to sell and install them until someone offers a better unit for the money.

"I own 17 Munchkin boilers"
I own a 200 unit apartment complexand we use 17 Munchkin/ModCon boilers for central heat and domestic hot water. Our installations started in 2003. In the beginning, at around year three, we had a number of fault problems with the electronic controllers that seem to be completely eliminated with the upgrade to the 926 controller back in 2007. Also, as with all new technologies, the installers haad to learn the best way yo install. To me, the biggest problems were improper installation and the 925 controller. The new versions of the boilers are very good and I wouldn't consider anything else. Munchkin has continued to relentlessly improved their product.

"Blame the boiler"
David problems - He now has a bad heat exchanger - Notice that the boiler is to blame for this. NOT that he has had constant problems with this boiler. could it be that the boiler is not properly Installed thus causing all of his problems. I will bet that If he sent me pictures of his install I would find many things wrong. If you are having constant service problems or constantly replacing parts the problem is NOT with the boiler but with the installation.
Satisfaction Rating:
Adrian - I will let you in on a little secret. The Munchkin boiler does let you know there is a problem - They are called error codes. But you have to be there when it happens to see them displayed. Last time I checked You always have to be in your car when the check engine light comes on to see it. If you were somewhere else while your car was driving itself - You wouldn't get a warning either. AGAIN - if you are loosing motors or electronics your boiler is not installed properly. Steve - Beltline Heating

"Reputable Installer"
Geoff Marshall- Little Deer Isle, ME--I can't help you with the coffee grounds, but I would like to know. Perhaps, flakes from the corroded aluminum inside the blower housing building up on the HX. I do know that HTP recommends tilting the unit toward the rear. My condensate flow goes through a clear vinyl tube to a neutralizer, so I can visually see the condensate as it leaves the boiler. I have a meter that test the PH and it is around 3.5, less than 7.0 is acidic. The code requirement is a 3/4" minimum drain pipe for the condensate piping. I have never had a problem with the condensate drain (plugging and backing up). What you say about the fuel plenum is the source of your problems, I bet. on Revision 2 the post purge is 100 sec. to clear the combustion chamber. (see my other posts) As you stated the blower is under the HX on the NTI Trinity and the fuel plenum acts as a thermal trap (hot gases rise), not so with the Munchkins and can be the source of the destructive exhaust getting into your blower and cabinet as you stated. You can check the post purge on the blower (see my earlier posts. The post purge can be changed by software to 100 sec. (revision 2 setting). Your post confirms my thoughts about this. I would certainly increase the post purge on the blower. In ME it gets mighty cold in the winter and you are pulling cold air into the cabinet, it seems to me that the boiler when it is running would condition the air to a more moderate temperature. I think that I would run your boiler with the cabinet cover partially open in the winter as long as the air in the boiler room is not contaminated with chlorine, phosphates or hydrocarbons. I never thought about Silicone, they do make a copper impregnated high temp (800 degrees) silicone. However you have to wait 24 hrs for silicone to cure (the only draw back?). The thermistors are probably manufactured with a 1-5% tolerance rating, so they can vary. I was thinking that maybe a 1/2 watt fixed resister of the correct ohm-age might correct that to the true outside temp. connected inline with the sensor wire. I might try that myself. However the thermistor is not linear. Right now, my D5 of the Status Menu on my 140M is 40 deg and my outdoor weather station is reporting 34 deg (same sunless side of the house). You can correct your central heating curve to take this into account, too. Since the sensor is mounted on the side of the house, it could be reading heat from the house through the wall whereas the station sensor is mounted on the eaves away from the wall, which may account for the discrepancy. I don't know it all, although my wife says that I am a big know it all. So, it's good that the readers provide their knowledgeable input (edukation is a good thing). SO, do a CO analysis and increase the post purge on the blower. Boy, I always harping on this CO analysis thing.

She was one of the first women to report from the front lines during World War I, and she made headlines racing around the world faster than Phileas Fogg, the fictional hero in Jules Vernes' "Around the World in Eighty Days."
Not quite so well remembered is one of Bly's rivals in New York journalistic circles who finished second in that race around the world. She was Elizabeth Bisland, born Feb. 11, 1861, on Fairfax Plantation in St. Mary Parish.
Her father was a sugar planter who served in the Confederate army during the Civil War. His plantation was occupied at one time or another by forces from both sides during that war and was so badly damaged that he had to abandon it. Elizabeth was 12 when the family moved to the old family home in Natchez that her father inherited.
She began her writing career as a teenager, sending poetry to the New Orleans Times Democrat under the pen name B.L.R. Dane, and a few years later went to New Orleans to work as a reporter for the newspaper. She moved to New York in the late 1880s and, using her own name, became an associate editor of Cosmopolitan magazine.
Bisland apparently had both brains and beauty. In 1888, The Journalist, a New York publication, declared Bisland "undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in metropolitan journalism." The magazine declared, "Her great beauty and aegis of powerful friends give her ready entrance into New York society and her talents have realized for her that recognition of publishers which gladdens the heart and burdens the purse."
The race that captured the eyes of the world began on Nov. 14, 1889, when Bly sailed from New York on a steamer bound for Europe and Bisland headed in the opposite direction across the U.S. by train.
Traveling by everything from railroad to rickshaw, Bisland was ahead at the halfway point, passing through Hong Kong three days before Bly got there.
And she might have won except for what some people believe to be a piece of chicanery that put Bisland on a slow boat from Europe while Bly raced from San Francisco to New York on a specially chartered train.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "The red tape of the French government defeated her."
Her train to Paris was two hours late, which meant — she thought — that she'd missed her connection with a fast German steamer that would have put her in New York ahead of Bly.
Bisland did not know and was not told that her publisher had bribed the shipping company and the boat was waiting for her. Thinking the faster ship had already sailed, she boarded a much slower steamer that could not get her to New York on time.
Bly completed the race around the world in 72 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes, and 14 seconds, according to a clock kept by her publisher — beating the fictional Fogg's record by a week.
Bisland lost the race but described her adventures in a series of articles for Cosmopolitan. They were later compiled into a book, "A Flying Trip Around the World."
Bisland continued to write for Cosmopolitan and her later work focused on topics more serious than the race. In 1906, she published the well-received "The Life and Letters of Lafcadio Hearn," whom she'd met when both were living in New Orleans in the 1880s. Her final book, "Three Wise Men of the East," was published posthumously in 1930.
She died of pneumonia on Jan. 6, 1929, and is buried in Woodland Cemetery in New York City.

How Do I Let A Good Man Down/My Man Is A Mean Man
7-inch (Item 397725) Daptone, 2005 — Condition: New Copy
Sharon Jones is opening up her groove on this one – rolling along in a nicely vamping way that stretches past the straight deep funk of earlier years, and which makes us love her work even more! Don't get us wrong, because there's still plenty of raw James Brown-influenced energy on "How Do I Let A Good Man Down" – but the tune also has a fresher feel than usual, and one that shows that the Daptone sound is opening up nicely these days! "My Man Is A Mean Man" is more back to basics – fast-romping funk with fierce lead vocals from Sharon! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Business Activities
Industry Classifications - NAICS
Tools and Options
Detailed Description of Industry Classifications
NAICS #23 | The Sector as a Whole
The construction sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in the construction of buildings or engineering projects (e.g., highways and utility systems). Establishments primarily engaged in the preparation of sites for new construction and establishments primarily engaged in subdividing land for sale as building sites also are included in this sector.
Construction work done may include new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs. Activities of these establishments generally are managed at a fixed place of business, but they usually perform construction activities at multiple project sites. Production responsibilities for establishments in this sector are usually specified in (1) contracts with the owners of construction projects (prime contracts) or (2) contracts with other construction establishments (subcontracts).
Establishments primarily engaged in contracts that include responsibility for all aspects of individual construction projects are commonly known as general contractors, but also may be known as design-builders, construction managers, turnkey contractors, or (in cases where two or more establishments jointly secure a general contract) joint-venture contractors. Construction managers that provide oversight and scheduling only (i.e., agency) as well as construction managers that are responsible for the entire project (i.e., at risk) are included as general contractor type establishments. Establishments of the "general contractor type" frequently arrange construction of separate parts of their projects through subcontracts with other construction establishments.
Establishments primarily engaged in activities to produce a specific component (e.g., masonry, painting, and electrical work) of a construction project are commonly known as specialty trade contractors. Activities of specialty trade contractors are usually subcontracted from other construction establishments but, especially in remodeling and repair construction, the work may be done directly for the owner of the property.
Establishments primarily engaged in activities to construct buildings to be sold on sites that they own are known as operative builders, but also may be known as speculative builders or merchant builders. Operative builders produce buildings in a manner similar to general contractors, but their production processes also include site acquisition and securing of financial backing. Operative builders are most often associated with the construction of residential buildings. Like general contractors, they may subcontract all or part of the actual construction work on their buildings.
There are substantial differences in the types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputs required by establishments in this sector. To highlight these differences and variations in the underlying production functions, this sector is divided into three subsectors.
Subsector 236, Construction of Buildings, comprises establishments of the general contractor type and operative builders involved in the construction of buildings. Subsector 237, Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, comprises establishments involved in the construction of engineering projects. Subsector 238, Specialty Trade Contractors, comprises establishments engaged in specialty trade activities generally needed in the construction of all types of buildings.
Force account construction is construction work performed by an enterprise primarily engaged in some business other than construction for its own account and use, using employees of the enterprise. This activity is not included in the construction sector unless the construction work performed is the primary activity of a separate establishment of the enterprise. The installation and the ongoing repair and maintenance of telecommunications and utility networks is excluded from construction when the establishments performing the work are not independent contractors. Although a growing proportion of this work is subcontracted to independent contractors in the Construction Sector, the operating units of telecommunications and utility companies performing this work are included with the telecommunications or utility activities.

"Stop off on the way to Massachusetts"
Reviewed May 13, 2013
montzebrooks | Enterprise, Alabama
My family and I were traveling to Massachusetts for my brother in laws funeral. We got tired and decided to stop off in Virginia for the night to rest. We were traveling with our 4 " four legged children" and we always stay at La Quinta for the reason of pets stay for free and we are Elite members and love to stack up points for free nights. Anyways upon arrival check in was quick and the hotel staff was very friendly. The room was nice and roomy. Seems they upgraded us to a sweet with couch etc. The beds were very comfy but, the air conditioner did not want to work. The phone beside the bed did not work but the one on the desk did. We were burning up so we decided to call down to see if they had a fan they could bring to the room. They did not. After explaining about being hot and the phone not working the manager offered to come check both out but at this point it was past midnight and we were exhausted as we started on the road at 6:00 am. After the first phone call to fix the problems he called back and asked if we would like to change rooms and again we already had the dogs set up in their crates and ready for bed so we declined. He then said he would take 20% off of the price of the room. In the am when checking out the manager did as he had promised and discounted the room. Great customer services and seemed he really cared. The breakfast was the standard breakfast for free nothing special. The hotel overall was clean and pretty updated compared to some. The only other complaint was the noise from outside. We were directly on the bottom floor and our window was right in front so the loud noise from the freeway was so loud when the large trucks came by it scared the pups. So with a room move and air I would recommend this hotel for the customer service alone if for no other reason.

"Sorry La Quinta but I cannot recommend this particular hotel"
Reviewed Apr 29, 2013
BessieKM | Southern Maryland
My husband & I had the occasion to stay here on March 29, 2013 while we were attending a celebration close by. Little did we realize that this particular weekend was also the opening of the Kings Dominion amusement park located directly across the street. We were scheduled to stay two nights and on the morning after the first night, we left as soon as we could get checked out. I wonder if I need say any more except that at 9 a.m. we had no hot water to shower. No seriously, there was no hot water. It was just awful and yes while the day manager did take some money off the amount, that did little to take away from a very bad experience at a hotel. Management honestly did not seem to care because the hotel was completely sold out with literally hundreds of screaming, LOUD people all day and all night. Sorry La Quinta but you let us down this time and we will not stay at this hotel ever again and the experience could possibly hold us back from staying at La Quinta's again. Oh wait, we will give them the cleanliness of our room but not of the hallways, etc.

ZingerOntario | Ontario
We stayed here for 1 night on our way to Myrtle beach. It is located at exit 98 off I 95 walking distance from Kings Dominion theme park. The 3 floor hotel was clean and pet friendly (that was our first time traveling with our daughters dog). The rooms were suite size with fridge and microwave and lots of space. Free WiFi, free OK breakfast and free parking. The $80 was a bargain for the size of the suite and amenities. Flat screen TV. Comfortable king size bed. The room felt and looked new. Note there is only one restaurant near the hotel Burger King (walking distance). We ended up ordering pizza delivery rather than drive to the next exit. The front desk staff were very friendly and efficient. We had a noise problem from the room above us (kids were bouncing off beds at 1am but one call to the front desk took care of it. Plenty of grassy areas outside for dogs to exercise and do their thing. The hotel was full with families attending the theme park so certainly book ahead.

We were in a terrible traffic jam coming out of Richmond and we couldn't drive any farther. We turned off for gas and found this wonderful La Quinta. It looked brand new with funkie carpets and decor. It was a lovely room and very nice and quiet. The breakfast was just okay - the usual waffles. It seems the desk clerk was also looking after the breakfast. The orange juice was like water. No one drank it. And of course pet friendly which is important to us.

Fighting for Alessia: Plano father continues court case to bring daughter back to Texas
By Bill Conrad, email@example.com, @Bill_PlanoStar on Twitter
DALLAS -- The latest round in a multi-year international custody case that spans from London to Plano took place Wednesday in a North Texas courtroom.
The case involves Alessia Hermer, the 3-year-old daughter of Bart Hermer, a Plano resident, and Simmone Jayne Cohen, a resident and citizen of the United Kingdom. Alessia has lived with Cohen in England since 2009 despite several attempts by Hermer to have her returned to Plano.
On Wednesday, Hermer and his attorney appeared in front of the Fifth District Court of Appeals in Dallas to attempt to reverse a Collin County judge's decision to dismiss Hermer's lawsuit. The suit was dismissed in June 2011 due to a lack of jurisdiction.
In its decision, the UK court stated that its opinion was that the family moved to England in June 2009 with the intention of staying there permanently -- a charge that Hermer denies. The court went on to say it was only after Hermer and Cohen split up in late 2009 or early 2010 that Hermer filed for custody of Alessia, claiming she was being held in England without his permission.
"There is clear evidence that the parties went to England as part of a planned move," the judgment read. "... I accept that the mother plainly indicated that she wished to live in England and the father accepted it. Indeed I have already come to the conclusion that the father saw it as an opportunity for the family."
At the Dallas hearing, Hermer's appellate attorney, Jessica Janicek, said Cohen committed fraud prior to the UK court's decision on residency.
Janicek told the three-judge appeals panel that Cohen obtained a British passport for Alessia without the child's father's knowledge, and also failed to turn over Alessia's American passport as part of a custody hearing held at The Hague. This decision, Janicek said, could have affected the court's ruling on the child's habitual residence.
"This can further prove our case that the child always lived in the United States and that she was just visiting England," Janicek said. "That has always been the contention of our client -- that she was hatching this plan and lied and deceived Mr. Hermer."
Cohen did not have an attorney present at the appeal hearing to dispute the charges leveled by Janicek.
When Becker dismissed the case he wrote, "the UK final order was not obtained by fraud; but rather, father was afforded due process by the UK court."
If the Fifth District court rules in Hermer's favor, an evidentiary hearing will be held back in Collin County where his attorneys will attempt to convince the court that fraud was committed and that Alessia's residency should be in the United States. No hearing of this type was held before Hermer's case was dismissed.
After the hearing, Hermer said he was looking forward to being able to present his evidence and prove that Alessia should be considered a resident of Texas.
"I had mountains of evidence to confirm I had already been denied a fair and impartial trial in a foreign country -- I just wanted one in my own," Hermer said in an emailed statement. "None of my evidence was allowed in the UK pursuant to Article 30 of the Hague Convention -- despite written attempts by the Department of State and Global Missing Children's chairman. We just want a fair and impartial trial and the ability to present evidence to show error and fraud."
Janicek said a decision should be handed down by the Fifth District in the next two to three months.

Tulsa dad arrested after toddler found in cage
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A Tulsa man was arrested after police found his 18-month-old daughter locked in a metal dog cage, his naked 4-year old daughter outside on a cold afternoon and him asleep in a drug or alcohol "induced stupor," police said Monday.
A neighbor called police after finding the older child outside the family's home and getting no response when he knocked on the door around 4 p.m. Sunday, as temperatures dropped to the low 40s. Officers' knocks also went unanswered, "then one of the officers looked inside and saw a small child in a dog cage," Tulsa police spokesman Officer Leland Ashley said.
After forcing their way inside, police discovered the toddler was covered in feces and that a 3-year-old child was asleep in another room. Their father was found asleep on a bed, "in an alcohol- or narcotics-induced stupor," Ashley said.
The three children were placed into the custody of the Department of Human Services, and the father was arrested on a child neglect complaint. The Associated Press is not naming the father so to protect the identity of the children, who showed no sign of physical injury, Ashley said.
Their mother had been at work and arrived as officers were preparing to leave the scene. She was not arrested and her name was not released, Ashley said.
"A citizen was concerned, he heard a small child crying outside for about 20 minutes. He went outside to investigate and found the 4-year-old child," he said. "You have to give credit to that neighbor who acted and did not ignore the situation."
Messages left for the department and the Tulsa County District Attorney's Office went unreturned Monday, a federal holiday.
The father was being held in the Tulsa County jail on $50,000 bond and his court date of Nov. 19, according to online jail records. No attorney was listed for him. He also had no listed telephone number.
A man by the same name and the same birth date was given a suspended sentence in August after pleading guilty to possession of a precursor to manufacture methamphetamine.

Welcome aboard buddy, have a nice week
Noticed your nice avatar on several buddy sites nice ride. Lets be gas buddies.
Production has nothing to do with it we have plenty of oil, blame it on those speculators and congress for letting them getting away with it. I hope you be able to see your kids one day.
Yes, I know too much bickering. I can remember when gas was $1.29. That was around 1999 - 2000, unbelievable
Jtravis711, I agree wholeheartedly and I blame congress for letting the speculators commit this type of crimes, but that's the sad true.
I hope u saw that there is a meet today at 11 at Pollys Pies in S.A.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Wow, a sweet ride. I drive an old '71 Monte on Sundays. Care to be buddies.
I think we have too many people who just blame Obama, they are all in this - and I am still registered as a Republican

Hey Bucko, any chance you could do with anything with this pic maybe ???? Now why in the world would poor ol' Woroud Sawalha just not wear sunscreen if she was worried about a sunburn ( in London of all places ?) Same thing goes for Sarah Attar from Saudia Arabia ............... and as far as this one goes ................... who the farg stole her "Judo outfit" ???
If this keeps up much longer () ..................I may just move to Paraguay and stalk this woman for the rest of my life !!! When I say "Whoaaaaaaa CAMEL ...................I mean Whoaaaaaaaaa !!!!"
OK, Im now just watching the WOMEN'S Hammer Throw ................... I promise ..................... NO PICTURES shall follow ........... There's more "camel" on display in this event than there is racing on any given weekend at the National Saudia Turf Club for god's sake. OK, just ONE then ........ I dare you to go tell her she didn't win the Gold !!!!!
Hey PUMPY ............this chicky ( no seriously, it is) Nataliia Lupu who just won a Heat in the 800, has a larger forehead than you do ........
I'm on the poota currently .................. Bigger screen to fully appreciate the beauty that is Ms Franco.
Hmmm, very interesting !!!!! http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/l...-a-missive-at-mx/story-fn9dheyx-1226445891807 After reading that, I have feeling that Emperor Kim Jong Notso ill, doesn't appreciate a little Aussie humour !!! Personally I thought it was fargin' brilliant. p.s................Just how far can those Nukes travel by the way ?
No doubt. That trail of breadcrumbs got blown away. I hear the real reason he got banned was because he defended Cro
Good stuff that return letter from KCNA . A bit disconcerting that the logic was consistent with many of the posters on this board (looking at you, AJ-backers )
The 1st one was from the rank of the Allies (English), the second one from the Axis (German) I'm just a Mongrel, per JGF, who's an equal opportunity fcccukkkerrr
Well I must say, his take on that entire situation was truly mindblowing to say the least. Trying to defend the undefensable can be a noble art, but there also comes a time when the sublime becomes the ridiculous also. I can't believe for one second there's another humanbeing on this planet besides himself that would try and defend that lowlife, no matter how delusional he'd like to be seen as.
Mens 200 Semi's and it really is quite ridiculous how easy Bolt & Blake make this sprinting caper look. Should be "One for the Ages" when the Final comes around. 45 minutes till the Ladies 200 Final, hoping VCB can pull off a miracle.
Oh you nasty Ol' bastage !!!! Now thats what I'd call the true extreme attempt at Self-fallatio, not this Yogi crap that Poofessoria went with. Gotta admire the guy for that type courage though, personally I'll just stick with the original plan of waiting for Deev to get her arse down here.

GetLine Method could return just the current line? My problem: Often i just want to use an short code: CurrLine = document.GetLine(just the current line the cursor is in); but i have to write two lines of code every time: yPos = document.selection.GetActivePointY(eePosLogical); CurrLine = document.GetLine( yPos ); Question: do i miss something? Is there an better (quicker/shorter) solution to get the text from the current line? If not: can this command be improved? For example, IF there is NO parameter between the GetLine() parentheses THEN just returning the current line where the cursor is in. Or by an additional GetLine()-parameter like "." for the yLine-Parameter to indicate the current line. Ahh: since the commands can get Flags, i think we can use "logical coordinates" "without return codes" "eePosLogical" as default flags for that special case? . |

Freedom Trail, Boston
The 3 mile/5km Freedom Trail, which takes in 16 of the city's principal historic monuments and sites, starts from Boston Common. Some of the sights form part of Boston National Historical Park. The Freedom Trail is marked by a line of red bricks in the sidewalk and by footprints at street crossings.The Visitor Center in the Boston Common offers brochures with information on all the major attractions along the trail. Some of the historic sites include the State House and Old State House, Site of the Boston Massacre, King's Chapel and Burying Ground, Faneuil Hall, and Paul Revere House, to name just a few.The Freedom Trail makes exploring the city quite easy.
Freedom Trail Map
Important Information:
Useful tips: For information call the National Visitors Information Center at 617-242-5642.
National Park Service 90-minute tours begin every half hour from the park visitor center at 15 State Street opposite the Old State House.
Related Attractions
Boston Common
In the heart of the city is the Boston Common, America's oldest park. This is also the start of the Freedom Trail.
Highlights: |
State House
The trail cuts across Boston Common to Beacon Street, with the State House of Massachusetts, built on Beacon Hill in 1798. The middle section, with a high gilded dome, was designed by Charles Bulfinch, who built the Capitol in Washington DC. On the terrace in front of the buildings are statues of two New England statesmen, Daniel Webster (1782-1852) and Horace Mann (1796-1859). On the first floor are the Doric Hall, which is used for civic occasions, the Hall of Flags (with flags and historical paintings) and the Great Hall (1990). On the second floor are the Governor's offices, the Senate Chamber, the Senate Reception Room and the Chamber of the House of Representatives. In the north wing is the State Library.
Archives Museum
On the ground floor of State House is the Archives Museum, whose most precious possession is the "History of the Plimouth Plantation", a manuscript account by the governor of Plymouth Colony. Other items of particular interest are a number of treaties signed with the Indians and the Constitution of 1780, which is still in force.
Park Street Church
English architect Peter Banner designed Park Street Church in 1809. In 1829, William Lloyd Garrison made his first anti-slavery address from the pulpit of this Christopher Wren-style church. The 217-foot (66m) wooden steeple is a popular landmark of this active Evangelical Church in downtown Boston.
Old Granary Burying Ground
Adjoining Park Street Church, the Old Granary Burying Ground contains the graves of several governors of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin's parents, the victims of the Boston Massacre of 1770 and a number of notable Bostonians, including Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Robert Treat Paine, three signatories of the Declaration of Independence.
King's Chapel and Burying Ground
At the corner of Tremont Street and School Street is King's Chapel, on the site of Boston's first Anglican church of 1686. The present building was built in Georgian style in 1749. This modest place of worship, Episcopalian until 1787, now belongs to the Unitarians. In the churchyard, the oldest in Boston, is the grave of Governor John Winthrop (1588-1649).
Old City Hall (Ben Franklin Statue-First Public School)
Further along School Street, set back from the street, is Old City Hall, now occupied by offices and a restaurant. In front of it are statues of Benjamin Franklin and Josiah Quincy (1772-1864), second mayor of Boston and founder of Quincy Market. Also in School Street is Boston's first public school, at which Benjamin Franklin and John Hancock were pupils.
Old Corner Book Store
The Old Corner Book Store is one of Boston's oldest buildings. Originally built in 1712 as a dwelling house and business house, in the mid 18th century it was occupied by a publishing house. In the 19th century it was a meeting-place of writers and poets.
Old South Meeting House
The Old South Meeting House was built by Puritans as a church in 1729. On December 16, 1773 more than 5,000 colonists spawned the idea for the Boston Tea Party. During that operation, patriots, loosely disguised as Native Americans snuck aboard English ships and dumped tea into Boston Harbor to protest British taxes.Today, the plain brick and wooden structure is a museum with rare historical artifacts and interactive presentations such as audio reproductions of some of the famous speeches delivered here.
Ben Franklin Birthplace
The site of the house in which Benjamin Franklin was born and spent his early years is opposite the Old South Meeting House.
Old State House
The Old State House, built in 1713, is Boston's oldest public building. It was the seat of the Royal Government in the colonies before the Revolution. The infamous Boston Massacre took place here on March 5, 1770. On that day, British soldiers fired into a crowd of protestors, killing five people. It was also the meeting place for the Massachusetts Assembly and many fiery speeches were made here leading up to the Revolution. The Declaration of Independence was read from its balcony on July 18th, 1776 and the fledgling government continued to meet here until the new State House was built in 1798.Today, it is run as a museum by the Bostonian Society, the same organization that saved the building in 1881 from being moved to Chicago for the world's fair. The exhibits include historical objects and artifacts dating back to 1630, with an emphasis on the Revolutionary War, maritime history and domestic furnishings and decorative arts.
Boston Massacre Reenactment
Every year in early March the Massachusetts Council of Minutemen reenacts the Boston Massacre, one of the pivotal events leading up to the American Revolution. The Boston Massacre was an attack on civilians by British troops on March 5, 1770.
Faneuil Hall
Faneuil Hall was built in the early 1740s as a market hall and still maintains a market on the first floor.
North End
Boston's North End has been home to various ethnic populations and is today a prominent Italian community.
Highlights: |
Charlestown was first settled in 1628 and grew considerably two years later when a group of about 1000 Puritans under the direction of Governor John Winthrop set up camp here. Charlestown gained a reputation as a shipbuilding town when the U.S. Navy Yard opened in 1800. Most of the Yard's employees lived here until it was decommissioned in 1974 and made into a national historic landmark. Charlestown is the site of the Bunker Hill Monument, and the USS Constitution.The neighborhood is also home to many historic houses. Visitors will likely see some of Charlestown if they are taking in the sights of the Freedom Trail. Some of the sights may also seem familiar considering the area has been used in movies and various television programs over the years.
Charles River Dam
The Charles River Dam was first put into operation in 1910 to help prevent tidal floods, assist migrating fish, and to act as a boat lock. Rangers lead tours of the dam providing information about its history and function.
Charles River Reservation
A 17-mile (27 km) park lining both sides of the Charles River from the dam to Newton Upper Falls. The area has numerous bike paths, swimming pools, skating opportunities in the winter, rollerblading in the rest of the year, sailing, kayaking, tennis courts and baseball diamonds. It is operated by the Metropolitan District Commission, which has preserving natural areas in the city since 1893.
Boston Academy of Music
The Boston Academy of Music, with over 150 professional singers and orchestral players, presents a full season of opera performances.
Charlestown - Navy Yard
After closing in 1974, the Charlestown Navy Yard was made part of Boston National Historical Park. It was originally constructed in 1800 as a repair and supply depot and helped to kick start the shipbuilding industry in Charlestown. It is home to the famous USS "Constitution" and the WWII destroyer USS Cassin Young.
USS Constitution
The USS Constitution is the famed U.S. warship launched in 1797 from a site nearby the present Charlestown Navy Yard. The 54-gun frigate was designed by Joshua Humphreys and Josiah Fox and built with live oak and red cedar bound by bolts and copper sheathing made by Paul Revere. The ship earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" in the war of 1812, when cannonballs seemed to bounce off her tough hull. It is said to be the oldest commissioned warship in the world.
USS Constitution Museum
The USS Constitution Museum contains exhibits related to "Old Ironside's" history from its legislative birth in 1794 to the present. There are numerous nautical artifacts, nautical artworks and interactive displays that allow visitors to participate in a navy battle.
Charleston - Boston Marine Society
The Boston Marine Society was established as a support network for maritimers and their families, and to improve the safety of seafaring. The society displays historical items, mainly donated by members, at their headquarters.
Charlestown - Bunker HIll Monument
The Bunker Hill Monument is a 220ft/67m high granite obelisk commemorating the battle of Bunker Hill on June 17th 1775; a spiral staircase leads up to the top. The battle, which was actually fought on Breed's Hill and not on Bunker Hill, ended in a British victory over the American militia.The visitor center at the base of the monument has models and historical exhibits related to the battle. It is one of the seven sites that make up the Boston National Historic Park.
Whites of Their Eyes
A multimedia presentation in the Bunker Hill Pavilion uses light, sound, video and more to recreate the chaos of the famous battle. The title refers to Colonial leader William Prescott's command to his troops "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!" After two unsuccessful forays the British had holed the Americans up in their Breed's Hill redoubt and Prescott wanted to save ammunition. The British eventually won the battle but suffered great losses.
Bunker Hill Day Weekend
The annual weekend commemoration of the Bunker Hill Battle takes place on the second weekend of June. There are military drills and maneuvers, a parade, music and more.
City Hall
Boston's city hall was designed by acclaimed architects Kallman, McKinnell and Knowles and built between 1963 and 1968. The style of the pre-cast concrete building is known as brutalist modern and it created a stir of controversy at the time for it's unorthodox and anti-traditional appearance.
Beacon Hill
Lovely old brownstones line the streets of Beacon Hill, long known as one of Boston's well to do areas.

Did you mean?
Hi everyone. I intend to do a trip from Christchurch to Queenstown for bout 8 days in the first week of June. I've never travelled on my own (solo-virgin!) and I'm hoping to meet up with people who have done so or intend to travel during the same time as me for a drink or even a day trip. At this stage I have no idea if I'm planning to rent a campervan and drive down (winter roads??) or grab a bus tix and book into a backpackers where ever I end up for the day. Would love to hear some ideas/suggestions.. cheers!
Am I allowed a small quiet dog to stay with me for just 1 night

Mitchell and Susan Green Category: Forthcoming Format: 280 pages, hardcover Release Date: 2013-04-30 ISBN: 978-0-87328-233-8 Price: $44.95 About this Book This collection of essays shows how letters nimbly traverse the boundaries between the public and the private and examines the many roles of correspondence, from the domestic to the global. Contributors discuss a variety of engrossing subjects: documents of early exploration and diplomacy, including Columbus's texts and Amerigo Vespucci's reports of his experiences in America; the surprisingly large role that letters played in the success of the Jesuit order in the seventeenth century; English letter-writing manuals that provide model letters to be imitated while offering a vivid view into a cross section of lived experience; epistolary travel writings; and letter-writing instruction in nineteenth-century America, among other topics.

At least UCLA finished with something sweet.
On the last play in regulation, Brett Hundley connected with wide receiver Logan Sweet on a 34-yard scoring pass to make the score a little-more-respectable 49-26 Baylor advantage.
Hundley completed 26 of 50 passes for 329 yards and three touchdowns in the game.
The defensive player of the game was end Chris McAllister of Baylor.
The offensive player of the game was running back Lache Seastrunk of Baylor, who ran for 131 yards and a touchdown.
UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley is going to have a decent game statistically.
With six minutes to play, he's completed 25 passes for 295 yards and hasn't turned the ball over.
But he's also been sacked six times and hasn't been able to cash in on numerous scoring opportunities.
Hundley connected with Jerry Johnson for a 55-yard gain and the Bruins pushed the ball as far as the Baylor eight yard line on their latest possession. But on fourth-and-three from there, a Hundley pass intended for Joseph Fauria was batted away by safety Mike Hicks, who obviously knew what everyone knows by now -- when UCLA gets down toward the end zone, it looks for its 6-foot-7 tight end.
Baylor 49, UCLA 19 (7:46 left in fourth quarter)
There have been rumors that the San Diego Chargers might be interested in Jim Mora as their next head coach.
Really. There were rumors. Which goes to show that you shouldn't spread rumors.
Mora has done a fine job in his first year at UCLA, but the Bruins aren't making him proud tonight. They've been completely outplayed.
A quarterback sneak by Baylor's Nick Florence has the Bears leading by 30.
It just doesn't seem right.

text: Today in the Tauranga District Court Isaac Dale Bushell (41) pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing 166 paua, all of which were undersize.The court heard that on 21 June 2009, Honorary Fishery Officers observed Bushell returning from the rocks around Town Point at Maketu carrying a sack up to the carpark at Newdicks Beach. The officers found 166 fresh and obviously undersized ordinary paua in the sack.Bushell told the officers he had been gathering "heaps" and that he "does not bother" going to the customary permit issuers in the area because they either say no or ask too many questions. Bushell claimed that he stored the paua for future hui he attended. He said he knew they were all undersize, telling the officers that you couldn't get legal ones in this area.The 166 paua ranged in size from 66 to 105 millimetres. The individual daily limit for ordinary paua is 10 per person and the minimum size is 125 millimetres. Bushell was in possession of sufficient paua for 16 people's individual daily entitlement.Fisheries prosecutor Morgan Dunn told the Court that Bushell had appeared before the court in April this year and had been convicted for excess mussels at the same location.In rejecting Bushell's explanation for the offending, Judge Harding convicted and sentenced Bushell to 300 hours' community work, saying the offender was aware of the need to get customary permits, and that he was not entitled to behave the way he had.District Compliance Manager Brendon Mikkelsen said the sentence was a "substantial penalty" which would act as a deterrent to others who might be thinking about breaking the fishing rules. He said the paua fishery had suffered heavily in recent years from localised depletion."The minimum legal size enables three or four years of breeding and potential recruitment before the paua can be harvested," Mr Mikkelsen said. "If paua are taken at a smaller size, as in this case, the chance that there will be a successful year of breeding and recruitment is reduced and the ability of paua to sustain itself is made less certain."If you see anything suspicious on or around our beaches, call 0800 4 POACHER.
