WikiLeaks XXXIII: Algeria's Youth Too Dazed and Confused to Even Become Terrorists
(Pictured: Harraga apprehended.)
We're honored to have Michael Busch dissecting the latest WikiLeaks document dump for Focal Points. This is the thirty-third in the series.
Every once in a while, on the long march through the often mind-numbing bureaucrateeze that characterizes the mountain of embassy cables published by WikiLeaks, you're rewarded for your labors with a bit of hilarious gossip, razor-sharp political analysis, or some surreal storytelling. And then there are the moments when you're treated to nothing less than absorbingly excellent writing.
Such was the case this weekend when WikiLeaks published an otherwise unremarkable cable outlining Algeria's growing problem with disaffected young people attempting dangerous escapes from North Africa's shores to the promised land of opportunity in Europe. The dispatch, which dates from the summer of 2008, opens with a literary journalism hook more appropriate to the pages of Mother Jones than anything a diplomatic database might spit out.
On the desolate beach of Sidi Salem, in the eastern suburb of Annaba, a dozen young Algerian males alternate between kicking a soccer ball and working on several small, unmarked wooden boats. Each week, several boats leave from this beach, filled with a cross-section of frustrated young Algeria—doctors, lawyers, dropouts, the unemployed. They set out across the open sea, usually ten or twelve to a boat, armed with water, food, blankets, a small motor and GPS tracking device, headed for the Italian islands of Lampedusa, Sicily, or Sardina. They are the harraga—literally, "ones who burn": identity papers and vital documents before departure—and over 90 percent of them will either die at sea, be arrested and detained indefinitely in Tunisia or Libya, or be returned by the Algerian, French, Spanish or Italian coast guards.
The numbers of harraga are not insignificant: in 2007 alone, over 50,000 young Algerians reportedly attempted to flee their homeland to Europe, numbers that show no sign of letting up with each passing year. The situation "has paralyzed the Algerian government,"as the "harraga have become a fixture in the Algerian media, popular media and daily conversation, a symptom of a society in which entertainment is limited, the education does not link to the job market, and the doors of opportunity are closed but to the well connected."
Seeking to familiarize themselves with this emerging phenomenon, embassy staff in Algiers took to the streets to collect first-hand impressions of the human trafficking network that transports hundreds of Algerians to Europe each month.
During out [sic] April visit to the beach at Sidi Salem, police officers standing in front of their precinct watched harraga prepare for departure. "We are not the border police," they told us…A look around revealed a soccer field littered with trash, a trash heap and a mosque alongside public low- to middle-income housing projects.
A source
pointed down the street from the police station at two small, dingy cafes. Those cafes, he told us, are where harraga gather to exchange information, meet with departure organizers, and pay their way. [The source] said that would-be harraga from all over Algeria know by word of mouth to come to the cafes, where an "oral bulletin board" exists of young men pooling resources, organizing departures and coordinating basic supplies.
US diplomats also interviewed harraga youth to get a sense of the often harrowing journey between North Africa and European shores.
On the western ourskirts of ASnnaba lies the smaller and more secluded beach of La Caroube. XXXXXXXXXX sat idly with three friends on a concrete stop, while several old wooden fishing boars lay overturned on the sand nearby. XXXXXXXXXXXX told us that last summer he set out in a boat of ten people, leaving Algerian territorial waters, which he was quick to point out represented a victory for him. He and his shipmates follows the coastline to Tunisia [where] the waters turned rough and they were forced to turn back at which point they were stopped by the Algerian coast guard…and sent back. All of XXXXXXXXXXXX three friends said they had also tried at least once to leave their country by sea.
Harraga cite three reasons "Algerian youth want to burn their documents and leave: hogra (humiliation), poverty and corruption." In a country that country that continues to operate under a nearly twenty-year state of emergency that disproportionately suffocates the hopes of Algeria's ambitious young, illegal exit is often seen as the only way out. The situation has obviously not escaped the attention of the Algerian government which "simply does not know what to do" about it. According to sources interviewed by embassy staff, the Algerian government was
"well aware"of the public passions that have been aroused by the harraga…Minister of National Solidarity Djamel Ould Abbes, in a highly publicized April visit to the coastal towns of Ain Temochent and Tiaret in western Algeria, gathered returned in front of the press and offered 400,000 dinar (about USD 615) to each, along with an offer of work.
The visit, coming just a week after ten harraga were killed attempting to cross over to Europe, was not well-received by the public which came to view it as "'an insult,' since at the end of the meeting [Ould] asked all those assembled to sign a statement of support for President Bouteflika." In fact, the situation almost spiraled out of control. The cable reports that the local harraga
rallied and encircled the house Ould Abbes was staying in, intending perhaps to take him hostage…When the minister got wind of this, he left Tiaret before dawn, earlier than expected, and rushed back to Algiers.
The cable tellingly registers one young harraga's disgust at the ploy. "We do not want someone to throw money at us," the young man asserted, "we want opportunity. XXXXXXXXXXXXX then said he would 'sweep this beach' if someone gave him a broom and a modest salary. Instead, he and his friends agreed that the best thing to do with Ould Abbes' 400,000 dinars was 'to buy a better boat.'"
Embassy personnel also take note of the fact that many harraga ultimately assuage their frustration by finding refuge in the country's mosques. And while the embassy's concern naturally drifts to the threat of terrorist breeding amongst disaffected harraga, what they discover is far more depressing. According to one local sociologist interviewed by diplomatic staff,
"Algerian society is still suffering from 'cultural post tramatic stress syndrome' after the violence of the 1990s. This, when added to current pressures of terrorism and socioeconomic stagnation, leaves many 'dazed and paralyzed, with their eyes glazed over. Most people simply don't understand what has hit them over the past fifteen years.'"
Despite the fact that the issue has captured the country's popular imagination—the harraga have become the subject of movies and pop songs—the prospect of positive change in the near term for Algeria's struggling young remains remote. The cable wraps up its report "back on the beach of La Caroube, "where XXXXXXXXXXX listed at least six jobs he had applied for over the last year, all of which he said ultimately went to 'people with connections.'" When embassy diplomats asked where they could contact him and his friends in the future "if [they] needed to, he smiled and shook his head. 'You can come back in ten years,' he said. 'and we'll be sitting right here.'"

I have an appointment Monday. Then again two weeks from that for a fluid level check then two weeks from that for another level 2. I will have bi weekly appointments for a while, then weekly.
My next two appointments are Oct 25th & 26th with High Risk Dr. to check everything is ok with LO.
I go in today not sure whats gonna happen, since its just my normal check in, tomorrow, I get a detailed antomy scan to make sure baby has no signs of TSC.
I have appointments to see High Risk Dr. on Nov. the 26th and the regular Dr. on the Nov. 29th. They mentioned me getting the Glucose test, I requested the blood test because that crap makes me super sick, so he might let me slip out of not doing the test since I have no signs and have never had GD. No weight gain and no loss this month, I almost wanted to cry when I saw that, I was really upset! I thought I would be able to keep losing, but since I haven't been eating that much I think that has a lot to do with it.
I have an appointment tomorrow at 8! Can't wait to see my little boys! James is going with me!
I have an appt Monday at 845 for a fluid check and then at 1015 for my check up.
Oh and another appt dec 3rd
I have a checkup at 11 Monday and a fluid check at 115. My next set of appts will be on the 31st. Ill have a checkup, level 2 US and a birth plan/berevment meeting to go over what will happen when the boys are born.
My appts are switched a bit. U/S and birth planning 31st. Checkup the 2nd.
Got an appointment for tomorrow at 4:30 so 12/27. I'm hoping to push my appointments out to where I still go in on 1/27 and 2/27 then two/one week appointments. The less I have the better.
My appointments are rescheduled. One 12/31 for a growth scan. One 1/2 for a check up and birth plan meeting.
Hope they are better!!

Jeff was everything we could have asked for in a broker. He worked diligently for us and truly listened to our wants and needs. Every apartment we saw was better than the last, and was tailored to the previous feedback we'd given Jeff. The apartment we ended up with was nothing short of amazing, and we are regular middle class people, not millionaires. I've said more than once that I think we experienced the elusive NYC real estate miracle that I'd previously been so jealous of when hearing rumors about "friends of friends". I've worked with competent brokers before but this was just a whole other level of service and expertise. I cannot recommend him enough.

After weeks of dealing with B.S. brokers I was finally lucky enough to meet Jeff. He better understood what I was looking for in an hour than others did after weeks. He was so efficient, showing me 6 apts in our first meeting at short notice. He gave me some great advice "99% of rentals are available to all brokers, focus on finding a broker you like and the rentals will come". I will definitely be recommending Jeff to friends, he makes the miserable manhattan apt hunting process a little easier. THANKS JEFF!

Yes! It is kinda cute, and we had so much fun doing it. I really like working with the Hollywood folks. LOL!!!! It can get tiresome a lot, but it's all worth it in the end. I think I liked this commercial more than any of the movies I've done. It's so much fun meeting all the stars, like Paul Walker, Morgan Freeman, and Sylvester Stallone. Mr. Morgan Is an Awesome Guy for sure, and so is Paul Walker. If you didn't really know just who they were, you would never guess that they are Movie Stars. They are so kind and friendly, and so down to earth. I always wonder who I will meet next. LOL!!! Have A blessed day Buddy. OK Susan (ReddevilNO)

What is a blue sky law? - March 08, 2011
The term blue sky law refers to state regulations that are designed to protect investors against securities fraud. These laws require sellers of new issues to register their offerings and provide details regarding their finances. Blue sky laws allow investors to base all of their judgements on data that is trustworthy.
The name itself is said to have first come from a Supreme Court justice who, in the 1900s, claimed he was desirous of protecting investors from ventures that were speculative and had "as much value as a patch of blue sky."
Every state has its own individual set of laws regarding securities, all of which have similarities to those at the federal level. Many are even based on ederal laws such as the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, according to Bart Mallon of Mallon P.C.
At the state level, blue sky laws are enforced by the state securities administrator, which is the state in question's enforcement agency. This agency acts in a similar way to how the SEC does at the government's federal level.

Mitt Romney pushed through Florida on Saturday, assuring energetic audiences his campaign was on the upswing and promising to usher in a new era of bipartisanship.
Romney opened his three-stop bus tour by sounding a confident note in Pensacola, where he told an audience of roughly 10,000 that the end of President Barack Obama's term in office was in sight.
"You know the supporters of the president's have this chant. They do: 'Four more years, four more years,'" Romney said. "I like '10 more days' a lot better."
Faulting Obama for being "divisive" and demonizing those that opposed him, the GOP presidential nominee underscored a pledge he's been making increasingly on the campaign trail -- to bring together opposing factions in Washington and tackle the heated partisan divide.
"In your life, if you've got someone you've got to work with and you disagree, why, you find some way to work together," he told an audience at an airport hangar in Kissimmee. "We're going to have to have an administration in Washington, my team in Washington, that's willing to work with people across the aisle."
Even as he promised to bring together politicians of all parties, Republican officials who traveled with Romney underscored the difficulty of achieving that goal.
Senate candidate and current Rep. Connie Mack told the Kissimmee audience that, if elected, he would go about dismantling Democrats' signature achievements.
"With your help, we'll turn this country around," Mack said to big cheers as he explained he would vote to repeal the president's health care plan and the Dodd-Frank financial regulation legislation, as well as vote to cut taxes.
Earlier in the day, Sen. Marco Rubio dismissed a policy booklet released by the Obama administration last week as a "picture book" full of wrong-headed ideas.
"Unfortunately, there's nothing really innovative in that picture book," he said. "They're the ideas that have failed every time they've ever been tried. They're expensive ideas. They're the ideas of countries that people come here to get away from."

The Dailey Interval Combines The Dailey Method Core Alignment Principles and Cardiovascular Exercises to Burn More Calories Safely and Effectively
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With an eye on Springtime, fans of the world-renowned Dailey Method can now "Do It Dailey" like never before, as the barre-based workout introduces a first-of-its-kind interval workout born from its kinesiology and core alignment principles. Studios worldwide are rolling out the Dailey Interval, a new 45-minute foundation focused interval class that increases the heart rate for an intense calorie burn.
"Our students wanted a more robust cardiovascular option, so we spent time researching the best way to increase the heart rate without impacting the joints. The Dailey Method's core alignment principles are at its foundation to make it both safe and effective, while maintaining, core strength work, flexibility and form," said Jill Dailey, founder of The Dailey Method. "On that foundation, we layered carefully considered movements to heat up the body, lengthen each muscle and create an optimal caloric burn."
A First Look at the Dailey Interval Class
The introduction of the new format comes as most of the country awakens to warmer weather and focus on fitness. For those looking to recharge and take their current workout routine up a notch, Dailey Interval is a more simplified, faster paced Dailey Method class that combines periods of high and low intensity movement. The heart rate is elevated and brought down throughout class, while the recovery periods remain active. The class also emphasizes breath-work to focus attention inward and help maintain a constant focus on form. The interval training and fun, upbeat music gives students the power and energy to bring their best to the more intense portions of class.
For those looking to optimize their existing workout regimen with a cardiovascular option, Dailey recommends adding two interval training classes per week. When combining the toning and muscle work of the traditional Dailey Method class with the cardiovascular and endurance training of the Dailey Interval class, students are setting their bodies up for great results including a higher metabolic burn than just cardio workout alone; cardiovascular endurance; and a stronger, leaner – and most importantly – healthier body from the inside out.
The Dailey Difference
Beyond the workout, the energizing music, supportive teachers and the community atmosphere sets The Dailey Method apart. With the addition of the Dailey Interval class, The Dailey Method now offers classes for all fitness levels while focusing on alignment and core strength while also delivering a more focused cardio benefit. Unlike a traditional large fitness class, students receive individual education and attention. The practice helps ground and center the students to transform their minds and bodies. All of these elements are part of the hands-on holistic approach that makes the Dailey difference.
The Dailey Interval class is launching at select Dailey Method studios nationwide starting in February 2013. Visit www.thedaileymethod.com to find out if it is offered at a nearby studio.
About The Dailey Method®
For more than 12 years Jill Dailey has been transforming people's minds and bodies with her signature The Dailey Method fitness-focused barre workout. Since opening its first location in June 2000 in a small 1,000 square foot facility in San Francisco's Marina District the company has grown into an international phenomenon with 48 locations globally and easy-to-follow DVDs.

We are constantly exposed to toxins from environmental and lifestyle factors. What determines health or illness is how the body handles exposure to toxins, e.g. if the elimination pathways are blocked, the toxins will be deposited and stored in the vital organs. Just as proper nutrient assimilation is crucial for optimal health, so is the removal of impurities from the fluids,filtering organs, and tissues of the body. For effective toxin removal, PureBody Clear may be considered for gentle cleansing, protection, and nutritional support, activating full function of the primary elimination pathways of detoxification.
This herbal combination may be considered as one of the first steps to establish homeostasis in organ function. It may also be important to use before the introduction of deeper detoxifying with homeopathic Attenuated Nosode Detoxifiers (Chords). When the body's primary pathways of elimination are blocked, secondary pathways may be affected such as the skin, reproductive organs, and nervous system. Pure Body Clear may be used to open the primary pathways of elimination such as the liver, gall bladder, kidneys, pancreas and spleen, assisting to eliminate imbalances in the secondary pathways.
Some of the complementary herbs in Pure Body Clear provide a broad spectrum of support including Organic Artichoke Leaf (Cynara scolymus) – research shows its phytochemicals may help detoxify and regenerate liver tissue.Research on silymarin, found in Milk Thistle (Carduus marianus), is a powerful natural antioxidant shown to be a protectant from oxidative stress, inhibiting free radical damage. Clinical studies indicate that the Chinese herb, Organic Schizandra Berry (Schisandra chinensis), supports the heart and respiratory system; may relieve viral patterns, insomnia and fatigue; improves concentration and coordination; calms anxiety and may increase physical endurance. Lastly, Yellow Dock Root (Rumex crispus), was used by Native Americans as a blood purifier and an antidote for poison. Pure Body Clear maybe used in any healing strategy where gentle support is needed for the primary pathways of elimination.

Nokia teasing Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade on Lumia 800. [Updated: Not quite]
Update: Ah, as it turns out what is shown above is actually an app called Emotiboard (found here). In other words, false alarm! Sorry folks.
It looks like Nokia is getting frisky as they're showing a glimpse of the Lumia 800 evidently with the upcoming Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade. The image above comes via their Facebook page and while it does not mention 7.8 directly it does show some new emoticons off. Those emoticons are not found in current 7.5 builds but they are found in Windows Phone 8 as we demonstrated in our video tour two weeks ago.
In addition, you can clearly see that button presses now reflect the current Accent color, a small touch that helps brighten the typing experience on Windows Phone. That's big news as it shows that Windows Phone 7.8 is more than just a new Start Screen as it will presumably include a lot of smaller enhancements, like the new emoticon system (which surprisingly is not in color).
Watch the video below to see the Windows Phone 8 emoticons in action. Thanks, mcmaui, for the tip!
There are 29 comments. Sign in to commentmwright53 says:
Bring it on for all of us waiting to upgrade to 8
SSK the Gr8 says:
i hope there's even more stuff :)
lesnjoro says:
Waiting for 7.8 so bad before i get WP8... Need to upgrade my Radar
jordanfernandes says:
Wow! Finally found someone who owns a HTC Radar. Most of the people here talk about their Titan's :P
kinaton says:
Lets hope SMS backup is included
dinchy87 says:
if they bring 7.8 now i think more people will upgrade to wp8 then without it, people can see whats new and the start screen is a big step to an upgrade to wp8. So if every wp7 user has this experience, there is a bigger chance to upgrade sooner or later.
david90531 says:
Can some one tell me, if the 7.8 update will be coming to first gen WP7? i.e. Focus??
dinchy87 says:
Microsoft said clearly "every wp7 7.5 will get this update." if not officially, there is an unofficial way with cab updates of with some custom roms with stock functions And 7.8 OS.
david90531 says:
Thanks. I'm gonna wait and see if there will be an official update first.
suraj.das says:
this could be an early build and maybe they'll come in color in the final one.. Waiting eargerly .._.
geluadi says:
First of all ,need to know when we can have a clear information about 7.8... like a release week or a something to wait for....untill then we just make a lot of assumptions...
Jannik says:
it's just an app...it's called Emotiboard Free http://www.windowsphone.com/de-de/store/app/emotiboard-free/b8036339-8f0...
ThreeLeggedRace says:
I personally liked the simplicity of the non coloured emoticons but wont shun 7.8/8 because of them.
Shobiz says:
Yep. that's an app in the marketplace
LaNiQuE says:
I can't upgrade so 7.8 coming by January would be nice but I keep in mind they do want to sell Wp8 and some people with an upgrade will hold out on buying a new phone once they get 7.8 which is something I probably wouldn't do but not sure I can blame them im sure talks of the next wp8 phones won't be too far away
monigal2 says:
They need to hurry up with the update, and hope there more to it than just the screen. But I'll be ok with whatever...
monigal2 says:
I wish the emoticons could be colored, but just having them will be nice
chatscc says:
Oh no!
hengxiang32401 says:
When I first looked at that I also made a mistake...:-D...Hoping Windows Phone 7.8 come soon more.
ejlee072006 says:
Men wp8 has a long way to go..with or without 7.8 im buying a wp8...but that doesn't mean I will buy the lumia 920...
Rockartisten says:
Damn you! :-)
unstoppablekem says:
I ordered a yellow 920, but I'm still waiting for 7.8 on my white 900.
Pootbuttlafunk88 says:
No no no people!! What about WP9? ;D
cannon#WP says:
I finally got to play with WP8 yesterday. The 8X's screen is nice but if 7.8 has all of the non-hardware dependent features that 8 has, I won't need to leave my Titan II for a new phone. Now if MS would just give us some info.
1jaxstate1 says:
I'm thinking that's why we don't have it yet, LOL!
hary536 says:
It's funny how the ads system works on this page. Nexus adds on top of the page and Nokia WP add at the bottom where hardly anyone would notice.
Josef Herbert says:
The emoji are just like on iOS... I wonder if they will work cross platform...
Samshyne says:
I hope that I can group msg. using SMS na MMS.. i love my L800... waiting for 7.8

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Congratulations on having the dedication to post for 300 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work. Want to become buddies??? Warren {:-)
Approaching two years on GB, Please accept my previous buddy request. or send a request from your end. Thanks
Keep going like a PRO Pittsburgh GasBuddy! We are all here helping others save on gas and we help even more when we post gas prices each day! Posting regularly each day can help each of us see where the best gas deals are located, it's nice seeing GBs come back to post gas prices as often as they can and it's really a big help to the tens of thousands of GBs and others, especially those that travel! It takes a lot of dedication and persistence to climb the GasBuddy ladder to each level, but thousands of GBs do it each day! Many GasBuddies average more than 975 points each day as you have been doing, getting to their next level much sooner! But 90% or more of new GBs will not make it to their 1st red car (1M points), most of the 8,000,000 GBs quit before they even get close, but keep going, you can do it, you're getting closer each day! It's wonderful seeing you come back each and every day for the past 232 days! Ron
I wish I lived there also. Nice 183 con days.Lets be buddies
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and have a safe prosperous 2013 to you and your family. Want to be buddies?

Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
Linux is a clone of the Unix kernel, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance. It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix kernel, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking.
Clonezilla is a partition or disk cloning tool similar to Symantec Ghost. It saves and restores only blocks in use on the hard drive if the file system is supported. For unsupported file systems, dd is used instead. It has been used to clone a 5 GB system to 40 clients in about 10 minutes.
Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous, the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static type checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.

Sex Toys & Lizards Stolen from Apartment: Best of the Blotter
Here are some of the weirdest police reports and incidents from departments across the region.
Here are this week's most bizarre police calls, reports and charges. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.
Taking toys — Something was a little different about a theft last week on Lawrence Court in Kent.
The list of items stolen from residents over a two-day span at Silver Meadows Apartments included laptops, HD TVs and other electronics that typically fill police reports. A box full of sex toys was also on that list.
The Pure Romance toys accounted for $800 of the $3,000 worth of goods taken from the one of the apartments. Three lizards, each worth $60, were also stolen.
All about the cake — Though two co-workers had a history of differences, a piece of birthday cake finally brought them to blows in late October.
Katherine Perez, 26, of Cleveland, admitted to police that she attacked a co-worker at a Twinsburg business because she wanted the piece of cake. According to the police report, Perez didn't strike until the morning after the verbal argument. The victim said Perez entered the break room, suddenly attacked her and then exited. Two witnesses also corroborated that account.
Perez said the victim made vulgar remarks to her before and during the cake fight and also threatened her. Perez was arrested and charged with assault. She was released on a $500 bond.
Long night at the bar — A 35-year-old Copley man was belligerent enough to make others want to leave a Bath Township pub on Nov. 3, according to a police report.
A Brubaker's Pub bartender gave the drunk man a warning as people began to get more uncomfortable. At that point, the man decided to take a nap on the pub's patio.
The bartender later found him outside and asked him to leave, but the angry man responded with more yelling, threats and a refusal to leave.
Officers cited the man with disorderly conduct and gave him a ride home despite his continued yelling. He has received a ban from Brubaker's.
Is he a target? — Time will tell if a Strongsville remains a target now that Election Day is history.
The Pearl Road man told police that 53 political signs have been taken from his yard in the weeks leading up to the election. He also said someone put a bunch of rocks in his exhaust pipe.
The man also reported trash being thrown into his yard.

"Innocent until proven guilty"
But there's another (at least the third) "Bad Girl" posted prominently with some tantalizing headline - a headline that isn't about her.
No. I expect better from The CH Patch.

A comment has been deleted for disguised profanity. Please keep it clean.
Melissa Hebert
12:42 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
Paul, an example of "disguised" profanity is when people use symbols such as $ or @ to substitute for letters in profane/obscene words. It's a violation of the Terms of Use.
Jay Bell
9:36 pm on Sunday, November 11, 2012
I'm not sure I would have put the sex toys on the list, although she has every right to them. I would ask to be reimbursed through restitution if they catch the thief. You don't know what the thief did with the sex toys so I wouldn't want them back. www.firebrandcentral.com

CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- May 21, 2012 -- Just in time for the bachelorette season, Pipedream Products introduces The Handyman and The Filthy Fireman -- two blue collar hunk themed blow up dolls -- to the company's infamous collection of inflatable fun. Both dolls, which are available for immediate shipping, offer shoppers a fully functioning love doll at a gag gift price.
CHATSWORTH, Calif. – June 24, 2011 – Pipedream Products has released Simply The Best II, an update of its supplement sized catalog featuring its best-selling products broken down by category. Pipedream CEO, Nick Orlandino says the catalog, like its predecessor in 2010, will help distributors and retailers increase sales and profit margins.
CHATSWORTH, Calif. – January 20, 2010 – Leading manufacturer, Pipedream Products, welcomes industry veteran Alicia Sinclair back to its dream team. Sinclair who worked for the manufacturer before, says she is excited to rejoin the Pipedream family.
CHATSWORTH, Calif. – January 13, 2010 – Pipedream Products is now shipping its new Fetish Fantasy Extreme collection of BDSM and fetish gear. Fetish Fantasy Extreme was built on the successful Fetish Fantasy Series and takes fetish to a new level according to Pipedream CEO, Nick Orlandino.
CHATSWORTH, Calif. – January 11, 2010 – Pipedream Products is back from the winter edition of the Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo (ANME) and reports a phenomenal show. The manufacturer took a scaled back approach with the number of offerings it showcased, and it paid off in volumes according to Pipedream CEO, Nick Orlandino.
CHATSWORTH, Calif. - November 23, 2010 - Pipedream Products has released its newest catalog entitled "We're #1 For Fun!" The 44 page, full color supplement-sized catalog specializes in gags, games and gifts and proves exactly why it isn't a party without Pipedream.
"We have a big surprise in store for attendees of both the Venus and EroFame shows," Orlandino continues. "Our new 'Big Secret' collection is unlike anything Pipedream has offered before and something truly unique to our industry. We are thrilled to give the European market an exclusive first look at this exciting new collection and all the new products we have to offer."

Pause. Take a breath.
Right now.
I can't move forward, I'm stuck in the past.
I can't see the past, I'm waiting for the future.
I think you've captured Alferian, and the ideas you express about him help solidify my own ideas about him, though I've never had the pleasure of meeting him.
I found the long back-and-forth dialogues a little tedious, and you might consider ways to break these up a little, just to give the reader a chance to rest. I felt at times a little like I was watching a tennis match with a particularly long volley.

Besides, I didn't need to catch the flu – snow dancing is hard on the body.
On Wednesday, two days before the scheduled event, the grocery stores were full of smiling people with candles and lanterns, batteries and jugs of milk. All the talk was about the coming event … how much, when, what they heard and knew, with the enthusiasm Floridians give approaching hurricanes.
At the checkout counter, people kept grabbing important stuff like chewing gum, tabloid reading, disposable lighters etc. I smiled, knowing I was not alone in my excitement.
I was quiet, and centered, very cool. I knew I had all the right stuff.
The few hardware stores here that sell plastic sleds, carried in stock over several unneeded years, sold out in record time. I always enjoy seeing what people think they need.
My confidence level was really high, knowing I had shopped the stores early, and got every possible item needed. Film for photos, reading material from the library, gas for the four wheeler, extra birdseed, and lights were all gathered before the first flake touched down.
That March night was very special. Since it was Friday, there were no frustrations about getting to work the next day. How perfect could it get?
When my husband, Pete, and I finally saw the first flakes, the phone started ringing as one after the other called to confirm that yes, it really was happening.
We sat in our dimly lit room watching the small white flakes in the lights outside. Every once in a while, one of us giggled involuntarily. It's funny the stages of excitement.
I think these moments are the best -anticipation paying off, snow just starting, everything ready, and all there is to do is snuggle up and watch it. As we curled up in blankets, we made little bets about how much we'd get.
After an hour of watching, it got bigger and came down harder. We started to get sleepy. We were positive now that tomorrow would be a wonderful day.
By 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning, I could hardly contain myself. I woke Pete up to see. We had inches and inches, with more inches happening everywhere. This was getting interesting! Some of our friends pride themselves on being able to drive in it, but most can't. Our parents didn't teach us about this, we never even practiced. Not many opportunities in a southern life.
At 3:02 a.m., I was snapped out of my reverence. The lights went out, along with everything else. Did I mention our house is total electric?
Yes, unfortunately, very total!
Suddenly, apprehension was on the uptake, concern was moving around and "what ifs' were creeping in. Georgia Power had flickered a couple of times, and died. I looked at the clock. The stove clock was frozen at 3:02. Something inside me froze too. The liquid crystals were gone.
A noise from outside snapped my attention through the roof. It was loud, powerful, and familiar. I went out on the porch to listen. I thought it might be a plane in trouble, but it wasn't. When it happened again, I refused to believe it. Thunder? No way! It's snowing for crying out loud!
Neither of us woke up till it got light out and we just could not believe what we saw. First, the light in the house was very strange.
For another thing, we couldn't see out. The windows were covered completely with a grey even glow. We went to the sliding glass door
and eased it open. A smooth pressed wall of snow stood several feet high. Beyond that nothing was familiar in our front yard. Only the banister around the deck showed above an all white surface. All the wrought iron furniture on the deck had become mounds of white on white. It reminded me of a bunch of snowmen, slumped in the chairs, still sleeping at the table.
Optimistically, we rounded up flashlights and a few batteries, gathered up candles and lanterns and prepared a nice dinner. Then we heated a large pan of water for a "sponge bath" in the kitchen. We finished by dark. We were tired and cold, but clean and full. Thanks to my great-grandmother, we had many hand-made quilts and we used all of them. It was 12 degrees outside and about 20 degrees inside.
I found an amazing 80 candles and an ancient portable radio (reminding me of "all the right stuff" in the check out line when I was wondering why people had gallons of water).
My great portable radio was still at work where I forgot it in all the excitement of Friday. When we got it working later, there was only one radio station operating within about 80 miles, so major stereo wasn't being offered. Then we began to hear the extent of the "storm." At that time, we had only talked to a few people by phone and been involved in staying ahead of the game. We were amazed to hear the extent of impact in the surrounding towns.
Three or four announcers were stranded at a single station, and stayed on the air non-stop from Friday until Tuesday I think.
For the next two days and nights, they produced and directed and starred in the strangest show you'd ever hear. I was having trouble remembering that it was Sunday! They kept stepping on the "one" who was sleeping in the floor behind the desk! It was getting curiouser and curiouser!
Sunday, they were announcing surgery schedules for the hospitals. The pregnant women were listed, with due dates and status reports.
Arrangements were made with neighbors with medical experience to local and back up critical situations. In other words, if you were in the hospital on Friday, you were staying! And if you needed to get there, you were flat outta luck!
The announcers continued with "personal messages," hundreds of them.
Since few phones were working, people walked to ones they could use to relay messages to the station, on the air, live and in living color!
I reorganized our living space. I made Pete a cup of coffee using a candle to heat a cup of water in a very creative way. It took an hour,
but by then, I had gotten the house in better shape. I put the coffee grounds in the cup and they cooked into a poor excuse. Pete loves coffee and I never drink it, but I knew it was pretty bad. He's the cook here, and we chatted about the coffee's progress. I spilled part of it, straining it, but he was glad to just hold a warm cup, regardless of the taste We laughed with relief. I felt pretty helpless, and was increasingly mad at myself for not being better prepared. I gave myself a hard time, and I still do. I find it hard to believe how downright stupid I had been. I had only planned for fun.
This had been no fun.
By the following Wednesday, the county was moving again. Farmers had cleared the roads with their tractors and scrape blades. Things were slowly getting back to normal for some people in town. Pete got his truck out and went to check on his business. I begin to put our house back together. I sent word to my co-workers that I was staying home until the power was turned on. I was afraid not to be here. I've read enough Stephen King stories to know it doesn't end just because you thought it was over.
On Thursday, the snow started melting, the roads were usable and huge crews of power and phone company experts were working as hard as they could toward us. Since we live far from town, we were among the last areas to get repaired. That day a tree, which had been leaning on our power lines, finally fell and broke the lines.
I smelled the smoke, and walked out in the yard to see my number one fear come alive. Flames were insight and very high. I drove the four-wheeler around to see how bad it was. About two acres was burning across an open field with wind pushing it toward the woods and the
house. I almost laughed at the expectancy of it. At least I had finally done something right. I had stayed and I was there to get the fire out. I used a broom and beat the fire down. It was burning between patches of snow. I was watching our land burn, and I was
strangely amused. I got the fire contained after an hour or so. With three layers of clothes, I was looking embarrassingly bad. But I was feeling great. When we left that evening to get supper and a bath at my sister's, we were calm as we drove past the still burning trees that were safely contained.
Now, during winter season, when anyone asks me about forecasts, or snow dancing, I still cringe. Now I have created the anti-snow dance.
It tried once, but I stomped out every flake that fell, and it stopped. You gotta' try!
I lost my love of the snow. I learned about emergency preparations, and we have purchased many items to cover ourselves should this happen again in 50 years! I have stopped being mad, but the impact of helplessness will always be a part of me.
-Beverly White, Rockmart
I was twelve years old when the blizzard hit. I vaguely remember playing outside that Friday afternoon after I got home from school. It
felt like snow if you know what I mean. The air was so cold, the kind that made your lungs burn a little if you took too deep of a breath.
"Please let it snow," I whispered, and crossed my fingers for extra emphasis. Seems I could have done without the finger-crossing.
When the first flakes started to fall, I got so excited and started hatching up plans to get out my grandfather's old sled that he had used as a kid growing up in West Virginia. My mom was excited, too.
Every hour or so, we would run over to the door and turn on the flood lights just to make sure it was still coming down. And, it was sticking -- a true southern test of the likelihood of accumulation. A few flakes are exciting; if they start sticking, well then that's a whole other ballgame.
I remember waking up the next day and looking out my bedroom window. I couldn't believe how much snow there was on the ground and I realized that, good grief, it was still snowing!
My dreams of coasting down hills on a sled (the old-timey kind with steel runners) quickly vanished as soon as I stepped out onto the snow because I immediately sunk down to my knees.
I remember it was still pouring snow when we – me, my mom and dad – decided to do a little "hiking" in the snow. I mean, we'd done it a
few years ago when we had two inches of snow, what's eight more? Piece of cake. We started out our front door in so many layers it was a chore to even bend our elbows. Thank heavens none of us fell down, getting up would have been impossible. We walked – slogged is a better term – from the front porch to the top of our driveway (we lived on a hill) and I remember thinking that the whole ordeal was just unreal.
It was like we were on an arctic expedition. The snowflakes stung my face at first, then I guess it got so numb from the cold that I didn't feel them anymore. I wrapped my knit scarf around my mouth in a futile attempt to warm up the air before I had to breathe it in and I remember my scarf literally freezing to my mouth. I admit I got a little freaked out. The wind was just incredible. Everything was white and the snow was coming down so hard, I could hardly see. I remember yelling out to my mom, "I don't think I can make it back to the house!
My lungs! We're going to freeze to death!" I've always had a flair for the dramatic.
After our escapade, we all decided that the conditions were a little too harsh to actually enjoy the snow, so we piled back into the house
which was toasty warm thanks to a wood burning stove and my dad's firewood stockpile.
We ate like champs thanks to mom and her Laura Ingalls Wilder cooking skills that kicked into gear. We were without electricity but had that cast iron wood stove. Fully loaded, that thing would put out enough heat to singe your eyelashes if you weren't
careful. When we realized the power wasn't coming back on anytime soon (I think we were without it for a week, maybe longer), we had chunked everything outside that needed to be kept cold. Every night, we would go out onto the back porch and raid our "new" refrigerator which was basically a gigantic mound of snow. I remember digging through the snow to find a pack of bologna. Jackpot. It was special too, because it wasn't just bologna anymore, it was "blizzard bologna."
But we had more than that. I remember one night we had baked potatoes and steak – my mom was a whiz on that stove! She even made coffee on it. We would eat dinner all toasty and warm by the light from kerosene lamps and candles. We found an old-as-the-hills battery operated radio and later on in the next week, spent hours, yes hours, listening to the Big Double A. I remember hearing announcements from people that were looking for someone to come and get them because they needed to go to the hospital and I remember stories of people who were going to get medicine for those who needed it. And I also remember my dad yelling, "you idiot!," when the same guy kept calling in over and over
all in a twist because his cable was out and he needed to "watch his shows."
Our power was out for a week, and maybe a day or two more -- can't quite remember. But I do remember that it was my job to go and scoop snow into our kitchen garbage can and bring it back inside so it would melt. We had to use that water to flush the toilet and to take baths with and I use the term "bath" loosely – Navy showers as my granddad called them. I don't remember how I washed my hair, though I did (I hope I did anyways) at some point. I probably blocked that memory out because it was too traumatic.
My grandparents, who lived at the bottom of our treacherously steep driveway, had gas appliances, and after the first few days of being holed up in our house together 24-7, mom, dad and I ventured out and went for a visit. I remember my grandmother made us hot, buttery biscuits. She still has an "I survived the Blizzard of '93" T-shirt. No lie.
Going back to school after the storm was interesting. That first day back I remember everyone sharing their stories. One guy said he had built a snow tunnel from his house on Blanche Road to WinnDixie.
Pretty sure he was making that up.
I can't believe it's been 20 years since nearly a foot of snow, sometimes more in places, blanketed Polk County. It was certainly a unique experience, and one we might not ever see again. But if we do, I'll be sure to celebrate by making a blizzard bologna sandwich.
