Two weeks ago, we made the sad discovery on a sweltering Monday that Moon Time, Westword's regular watering hole at 846 Broadway, was closed -- reportedly for HVAC work. And the job must not be going too well, because a sign still on the door today notes that Moon Time will be closed Saturday, August 2, for another HVAC project.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
More telling is a second note posted to the side of the door, announcing that Moon Time has "temporary limited hours," and is now only open from 4 p.m. - 2 a.m. Wednesday-Saturday. We'll be waiting with bated breath for the appointed hour Wednesday, to see if we can grab a seat at Moon Time's bar -- or once again must wander the neighborhood in search of a replacement for the Westword rumpus room.

I'm Nicola Ferguson (aka Crazy Cat Shady) and welcome to my crowdfunding campaign. I'm desperately trying to raise the money I need to finish my veterinary degree.
I have already completed three years of study and with your help I can finish the final two and a half years of my degree.I know I can make an absolutely amazing vet and potentially help thousands of animals. To make my dream come true, I need everyone reading this to donate. Whether you can give £1 or £1,000 or just give your love, prayers & best wishes - every little counts and would be very much appreciated.
My story
Clearly I am not 21, slim and gorgeous with a blinding white smile like all the other students launching crowdfunding campaigns. So I have had to do something a little different. Times are hard for everyone, so I thought why not make a parody music video and at least brighten a few folks day and make them smile. I have always admired Eminem and his ability to overcome adversity, so I decided to make an Eminem Parody Music Video - 'Fund Yourself'. And so Crazy Cat Shady was born.......
I didn't initially study for a veterinary degree as my mother was dying of cancer. Instead of leaving home, I stayed with my mother to be her carer and I studied law at the local university. Following my mothers death and after graduation, I went on an adventure sports extravaganza around the world. I then settled down to a life of boredom and frustration in a career I hated. After 10 years I knew I could not spend the next 30 years being desperately unhappy so I sold everything I owned, including my home, and went to follow my dreams. After working for the charity The Donkey Sanctuary I knew that no matter the cost, I had to follow my heart and study to be a vet. So, I packed the cat carrier and my suitcase and all three of us headed to Budapest so I could study for the degree of Dr of Veterinary Medicine.
I didn't initially think I would have to resort to crowdfunding. I was brought up to believe that you work and save up for the things you want in life, and my veterinary degree was no different. I tried to get the money to finish my degree the traditional way by working and saving. Unfortunately this has not worked. As a mature student I cannot get any graduate loans, particularly as my entire family are dead, and therefore I have no guarantor. Crowdfunding is my only and last chance to change my life.
One of the reasons working and saving has not worked, is that I have had a series of disasters. In the last three years I have:
- Had major surgery on my knee. I was even attacked and robbed in broad daylight by five women while I was on crutches;
- I lost my job in August 2014. Since then I have been unemployed;
- My cat Holly was diagnosed with a tumor and chronic kidney disease in August 2014. She has received extensive treatment but if I am honest, I know she is dying. She is currently happy and enjoying life with no discomfort, so all I can do now is to make her final few months happy ones;
- I had to sell my home very cheaply to an investor in order to support myself and the cats while unemployed;
- I applied for over 1000 jobs and spent over £2000 on travelling to interviews (to no avail);
- My cat Poppy was also diagnosed with a tumor in April 2015 and subsequently chronic kidney disease just recently in May 2015. As you can imagine I am devastated that both of my beloved cats are now so very ill;
- Although insured their whole lives, on returning to the UK I could not get Holly and Poppy insured again. The specialist renal treatment and radiotherapy both Holly and Poppy required to save their lives cost me over £5000 (hence the sale of my home);
- I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome in May 2015.
Due to these circumstances I have lost every penny of the money I had worked and saved so hard for, not just in the last three years, but my entire life. I have now been away from my studies almost three years, and I simply cannot take any more time off. Crowdfunding is my only hope.
If this is all a bit much to digest, please watch my video which sets out my predicament.
Where will the money go?
Minimum Target
I have two and a half years of my veterinary degree left to complete. If I hit my minimum target, this money will pay for my tuition fees and living expenses FOR ONE YEAR ONLY. It will NOT enable me to complete my veterinary degree as I will have no money to complete the final one and a half years. However I am a very positive person and my plan in this scenario would be to return next year and possibly the year after and do another parody music video and crowdfunding campaign. So for the love of music....... please fund my full target!
Breakdown of minimum target for one year only:
- Tuition fees: £8000;
- Flights (Budapest - UK return for me, Holly and Poppy): £3000
- Living Expenses (14 months@£800 per month): £11,200
- Emergencies: £1000:
- UK resettlement: £1500
- Transaction Fees (3.4% of £24,700): £840
Full Target
The full target is the money I need to actually finish my veterinary degree and qualify as a veterinary surgeon. It is a lot to ask of you, I know, hence why I have the minimum target too. Reaching my full target means that I can concentrate on my studies knowing that I will be able to afford to finish my degree.
Just to give you a very rough breakdown of costs for my full target:
- Two and a half years of tuition fees: £20,000
- Flights (Budapest - UK return for me, Holly and Poppy): £3000
- Living expenses for just over two and a half years (32 months @ £800 per month): £25,600.
- Emergencies and currency fluctuations, as my fees are paid in Euros: £3000.
- UK resettlement: £1500
- Transaction fees (3.4% of £53,100): £1805
As you can see, it is more cost effective for me to achieve my full target! For both my full and minimum targets I will be living as simply as I can and ideally will be working part time (work from home job offers appreciated!). It just takes one emergency or very bad winter where extra heating is needed for me to be in a very desperate situation. I don't have parents, siblings or any other family whatsoever - I am totally alone, and solely responsible for supporting Holly and Poppy. I have fantastic friends but they have their own lives and I can't expect them to support me. Being totally alone and financially vulnerable while living abroad is incredibly scary. While I was studying last time I had a partial rupture of my ACL ligament in my knee while playing volleyball and I could not even afford crutches. I had to walk and attend dissections and other practical classes in extreme pain. A 5 minute walk took over 30 minutes. I do not want to be in this situation again! This is also why I have included a small sum for both emergencies and resettlement back into the UK. I don't have anyone at all I can stay with, and if I am homeless I will lose Holly and Poppy which just isn't an option for me. This small sum for resettlement means I can put a deposit and one months rent on a flat back in the UK while I look for work.
I don't want to be greedy, but anything raised over and above my full target means I can be like all the other students in my class and just devote myself to studying. No part time work required! These final years are my clinical years so it is important that I have the time I need to really devote myself to my studying and becoming the best veterinary surgeon I can be. I am also passionate about giving my extra time to helping re-home stray dogs and cats and not having to work part time frees up some of my spare time to do this.
The main reward I am offering is a hall of fame on my website where everyone who has donated can see their name for all eternity. Or until the internet becomes obsolete and we all become cyborgs. This is because I put a huge amount of time and effort into the Eminem Parody Music Video, and as I am asking for the very bare minimum of what I need (and I know it is a lot), there is very little to spare. There are a few other little rewards and I would love to keep in touch with all of you via my blog. If you want to donate a larger amount but feel cheated at not having a reward - let me know what reward you would propose. I could for example volunteer at an animal charity of your choice in my vacations/once qualified as a vet, I could thank you personally on Skype or even make another parody music video on a track of your choosing. Just ask!
It's competition time!
Everyone likes a competition! On my website - http://nicola-ferguson.weebly.com/competition I am going to hold a competition every couple of weeks for the duration of my crowdfunding campaign. Its free for everyone to enter. You don't even have to donate to my campaign (though it would be nice!!!). All you have to do is tell me what breed or mix of breeds my first ever dog Puppy is. Isn't she gorgeous? Sadly Puppy is deceased now (RIP Puppy), but I know she wants to help me be the best vet possible. So - what mix of breeds is Puppy? The first closest answer I receive posted on my website page for all to see wins a small prize for either you or your pet.
Find ME here
Please do follow me and see how I am doing. I will be providing updates here as well as regular blog posts on my website - http://nicola-ferguson.weebly.com/ There is loads of information on my site about me and why I so desperately want to be a vet, so do have a look! I also give more information on all of the charity work I enjoy and details of all the wonderful people that have helped me on this project, and who are too many to list on this small page. Please have a read as without them this whole project would have been impossible. In particular a big thanks to the amazing Spot and everyone else at Bengal Cat World for all their love, support and shooting my personal video, Kati Jagel at Jagel Film who is awesome and who shot and edited the music video and the incredibly talented Chris Hughes at Oscillate Studio who recorded, mixed and mastered the track.
Help me succeed!
Clearly the donation of money is a big priority as part of this campaign. However I know times are really hard for many of you. As I said before - virtual hugs, love, prayers, best wishes - they all count and if you can only give that, it is still a massive help and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. What will also be vitally important is getting the word out there. This means to everyone - from animals lovers to journalists who could promote the campaign, through to every person that has ever wanted to quit their boring day job and live their life doing something they truly love. It is said the three hardest things to do in life are to (a) say you are sorry; (b) tell someone you love them; and (c) ask for help. I am asking for your help now my friends. If each and every one of you reading right now wrote a personal e-mail to just 5 or 10 of your closest friends, giving them the link and asking them to view this site and watch both my videos and donate to my campaign (and then spread the word themselves) then I know I can achieve my goals. Even if we just get the video out there are spread a bit of happiness and love in the world, my campaign will be well worth it.
So if you can:
- Send a personal e-mail to 5-10 (or more) friends, giving them a link and asking them to come to this site, watch my videos and also to consider helping me;
- Put details of my campaign with a link on your website, Facebook page, Twitter, Blog or Linkedin;
- Tell anyone you meet to look me up! The checkout lady at the supermarket, the A list celebrity millionaire you are dating. Everyone! Tell your mum on the phone when you speak to her this evening! Please mention this site - Hubbub.net as there are loads of people called Nicola Ferguson (the cheek!) on Google, so make me easy to find; and
- If you need any posters or flyers you could put up in your local shops, veterinary clinic etc contact me on my website and I will send you some. This would be an amazing help!
That's all for now. Thank you for your time and generosity and please keep in touch with me via my website - http://nicola-ferguson.weebly.com/ either as a comment in my blog once it is up and running, or via the contact form - http://nicola-ferguson.weebly.com/contact.html I look forward to speaking to you soon!

Warning graphic video: 'Joking' student guns down coach at shooting range
A horrific CCTV video of a teenager shooting his teacher in the head has emerged online.
The incident which happened in Russia on June 13, 16-year-old Jamshedji H can be seen holding a gun at what looks like a gun range.
In the video, he raised the gun and points it at a man identified as his teacher Andrei Kiselev, who then slumped forwards onto his desk and then onto the floor.
The Mirror reported that Kiselev was shot in the head and that he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Immediately after the incident, the teen can be seen covering his mouth with his left hand before fleeing the scene.
He was later caught by the authorities and confessed that he was "joking" and that he thought that the gun was not loaded at the time.

really!?! if it wasn't the nanny it would of been someone else like a coworker or a neighbor! op might wanna pay more attention to the needs of her husband than worrying about trust issues at a therapist. that's why the husband has time to screw around because she doesn't pay attention or give him what he needs.

I'm sure he might have cheated with someone else but either way the man can't take care of his own kids??

This afternoon I offered a "Playing with Chocolate" workshop at our store. Especially coming out of the holiday baking spree, I feel very in tune with chocolate - an almost zenlike relationship with cacao so to speak. And so this workshop was my chance to infodump on six gracious participants.
We covered everything from basic ganache to miroire.
I promised the participants I would post the recipes and ratios here on the blog, so here they are...
First we did a traditional cream ganache. I take one part cream (by weight, although volume gets you close enough that you can adjust from there) and heat it in a microwave for about 90 seconds. I take it to just a simmer or scald, but not further. If 90 seconds is not long enough, give it another 30 seconds and repeat until you get there. Add 2 parts chocolate. In the session I did 100g cream and 200g chocolate. Let the chocolate sit for about 30 seconds, then start stirring with a spatula until the chips are gone. Then pick up the pace and emulsify. Before the chocolate cools too much, add a few dollops of butter if you want the extra sheen. This ganache is ideal for tarts (like the pic above), cake glazes or fillings, or brownie topping. It remains fairly soft unless you chill it, but at room temp it remains cuttable. You can play with ratios for different purposes. 1:3 will make a stiffer chocolate ganache. 1:1 will make thinner. Its chocolate - it will still taste good no matter what you do with it.
Next we played with water based ganaches. First we did just water, then tried a red wine, and finally lychee black tea. Put your chips in a bowl and then add boiling water to almost, but not quite, cover the chocolate. Work toward emulsification just like the cream based ganache. If the chips don't melt, as is often the case, toss in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir. This should be enough to do the trick. Once you've achieved the sheen, let it rest until its the desired consistency. If you are using it as a cake filling, pour while it still fluid. If you want to make truffles, then let it thicken. This ganache is a bit tougher to form into truffles, but knead it in the palm of your hand until it holds together. Remember that the key benefits to this are 1) vegan friendly, and 2) is true to the chocolate flavor. We all agreed that the wine and lychee black ganaches were outstanding. This is the ganache that we piped into the candied kumquats.
We took a slight divergence to chocolate soil. The soil recipe is:
250g (8oz) Sugar
250g (8oz) Almond flour
150g (5oz) All-purpose flour
100g (3.5oz) Unsweetened cocoa powder
5g (pinch) Salt
125g (4oz) Melted butter
Oven to 300F
Whisk dry ingredients together, add the melted butter, spread the mixture on silpat or parchment paper. Bake 15 minutes. Let cool, crumble, serve with meat, caramel based desserts, sprinkle on ice cream...eat it by the handful.
Here's the final plating: Caramel Panna Cotta with Chocolate Soil and Bacon Powder.
Finally we did a poured mirror (miroir) glaze. Because of time we did the odd combination of rootbeer white chocolate miroir over pistachio cheesecake, but the more traditional recipe to keep is this:
120g (4.25oz) Heavy cream
145g (5oz) Water
160g (5.5oz) Sugar
60g (2oz) Cocoa powder
12g Gelatin sheet (6t. powdered gelatin)
Put gelatin in bowl with 1/4 C. water. Heat cream on stove top with water, sugar and cocoa. Stir until fully combined and cook on medium until steam starts to rise out of the pot. Add the gelatin blob and whisk until it is fully melted. If gel chunks remain, return the pot to the stove and heat on low, whisking until fully melted. Let sit until just tepid and pour on any frozen item. You can pour on a non-frozen item, but the effect is not as dramatic. For an example of my use of mirror glaze click HERE, HERE, HERE, and ,HERE'S an example of a white mirror that I marbled.
For my regular readers, one cool thing that happened here was regarding the kumquats. It is very hard to candy kumquat and not have them implode. You can read a fantastic tutorial on this process HERE on eGullet. But, we used the cream puff injector tip on our pastry bag and filled the collapsed kumquat with dark ganache, which in turn re-puffed the kumquat and made it beautiful and extra tasty. Good stuff.

So did you ever get TR in? I agree that he needs time to prepare & time express his opinions and experiences
Jon, You need to get Tommy into the studio one afternoon and take some time talking over issues and also let some listeners speak to him. Tommy never has time to say all he wants to get said and it always seems like he's raging, when all it is really is the lack of time he has to voice his views. I watched the Oxford talk he did on Youtube and he was totally calm for the whole hour and a quarter just because no one butted in and he could speak normally. Everyone watch it if you havn't already.
Dam!!! You beat me to it Dave. That would be fantastic Jon. Make it happen mate!
Simple put Tommy is a hero of the people and in years to come will be seen as such
Piers Morgan must feel like an idiot today! He never gave TR s chance to speak and like anyone who doesn't want a debate just talks over the other person. Invite him on Jon - he doesn't have the balks to face you!!
Thanks for your comments. This is why we need the home of free speech now more than ever!
Well done Jon for dealing with Gary Lineker's No.1 Fan. I can imagine that guy has got a room full of Lineker memorabilia all over the walls, like that episode in Alan Partridge with his No. 1 fan.
There's a good thread about the interview on 4chan /pol/.
Ironic isn't it. When someone speaks the truth about what's really going on, they get shouted at, blocked and labelled as racist thugs. Those SJW individuals will reap what they sow in the years to come. We need more Jon Gaunt's, Tommy's, Raheem's and Katie Hopkins to speak freely without fear of repercussions!
Totally right Manny. Jpn should have Tommy on to have his own podcast- would then be able to get his message over in a more relaxed and measured manner. I would like to hear more of Tommy- a guy like Jon who says it as it is- same as Me Vance!!

As far as we know we're the only web site ever to have won the award twice.
Are haylie duff and nick zano dating western bowie w49 dating site
Lawrence has had a string of successful television sitcoms during his career.
He was the creator of Scrubs, the hit medical sitcom that ran for nine seasons on NBC and ABC.
We say "unfortunately" because the white pastel tights she's wearing don't do her any favors.
Ever since the Kardashians rose to reality stardom and bumped Paris off the gossip pages, she's been privately irritated.
Being the "it girl" was fun, not only did she have paparazzi following her everywhere, but her fame brought her tons of money in perfume deals, etc.
Ten people, including television screenwriter Bill Lawrence, were rescued from a small sea plane that crash landed in the East River in New York on Friday afternoon, according to authorities.
Lawrence, who was the co-creator of hit sitcoms like Scrubs, Cougar Town, and Spin City, posted photos of himself and his family on Instagram in the moments after the plane landed in the East River.

Quarter Tone Playback
Plugin Description:
This plugin automatically applies tuning to notes in the score altered with quarter tone accidentals and key signatures. It works with the FLAT_SLASH and the SHARP_SLASH accidental signs, which are normally used in Arabic music to denote a decrease or an increase of the tuning by a quarter tone (50 cents) respectively.
In Musescore, it is possible to generate custom key signatures in the Master Palette (View → Master Palette). This allows building key signatures for Arabic scales using quarter tone accidental signs. Moreover, these signs can be used as accidentals by applying them to the notes from the Accidentals Palette (Advanced Workspace should be activated).
In the Musescore file QuarterTonePlayback.mscz delivered with the plugin, it is possible to see how these key signatures and alterations can be used.
Plugin Features:
• Custom Tuning: it is possible to change the tuning of the quarter tones, although the standard tuning is ±50 cents.
• Key Signature Definition: although it is possible to create custom key signatures in Musescore, it is unfortunately not possible to access them in the plugin framework. As an alternative solution, the user can set the custom key signature in the plugin itself in order to notify it of the key signature.
• Accidental Auto-Detection: the plugin automatically detects accidental signs and tunes the respective note automatically.

Many people see organic gardening as a way to contribute to the safe-keeping of our beautiful planet. For others it presents the opportunity to put nutrient-rich and chemical-free food on the table. Both are laudible reasons. Whatever your reason is, you may find that these suggestions really help.
A trick to help measure in the garden is to take one of the long handled garden tools like a shovel and mark on its handle using a tape measure. Using a permanent marker, mark out the feet and inches on its handle and when specific distance is required in planing, have a handy measuring device is close at hand.
Be sure to water your garden daily. Without daily water, your garden may quickly turn sour. If the idea of pulling out a hose daily is too much for you to stomach, consider installing some sort of sprinkler system. There is a cost, but it can save a lot of headaches and actually pay for itself via a healthy crop!
Keep a garden journal and take photographs of your garden as it grows. It's easy to start the season with high expectations for your gardening. But as the time wears on, it's just as easy to lose steam. A journal and photos can help inspire and engage you along the way!
Think about leaving some areas of your lawn uncut. Long grass provides a great habitat for beetles, young amphibians and grasshoppers. Grass is also an important food source for some butterflies and caterpillars. Gardens without wildlife would be very sterile environments, and most plants can't reproduce without the help of wildlife.
Both cat grass and wheat grass are good for giving your errant feline pause. You could also place mothballs and citrus peels around your plants to keep your cat away.
Planting a vegetable garden can be a truly rewarding experience. To be sure your garden is successful, you must pick a location that gets plenty of sunlight. The crops will need to be in a spot that is very open and sunny, giving them lots of room to thrive and grow.
It is crucial that you have the proper tools before starting a garden. You do not want to begin the process of starting a garden only to realize that you are in need of a tool you do not have. Try to get shovels, trowels, pruners, hoes, garden forks, and rakes.
Pay attention to the temperatures in your garden. When it is early, or late, in the season there is a chance that your plants could be exposed to frost. Freezing temperatures will cause many plants to die, and some that live will not produce at the level they would have otherwise.
Do not give your garden too much fertilizer. Providing fertilizer to your plants allows them to better make food from sunlight. Too much fertilizer, however, can cause your plant to grow too fast, which prevents it from fruiting or flowering. The excess chemicals left in your soil can wash away and pollute the local ground water.
The above list should have provided you with a some good ideas on becoming an even better organic gardener. It's great that you have such an interest in the subject. Going organic is 'green'; it is healthy, and it is enjoyable!

This was a cross-sectional study; thus it is not possible to identify the cause and effect of relationships among productivity, stress symptoms, and violent events. In addition, there was no measurement of the perceived severity of the violent event, and thus, no way to examine the relationship among severity, symptoms, and productivity. As is common with survey studies, the use of self-report data may be limited by errors due to the nurses' poor recall of violent events and their perception of post-event stress symptoms and productivity. Another potential limitation of the results is the response rate of 8% and the inability to compare the responses of the responders with the non-responders. A post hoc power analysis was conducted to determine if the study had an adequate sample size to perform the planned statistical analyses. Achieved power was 85% for workplace violence data with the sample size of 220 in addition to using a two-sided statistic, a small to medium effect size of 0.20, and an alpha level of 0.05. So, even though only 8% responded, the findings are still powerful.
Workplace violence is a significant problem for ED nurses and has a direct relationship to experiences of negative stress, decreased work productivity, and quality of patient care. It is critical prevention and management of violence be a priority for hospital administration and ED management. Foremost, violence should never be accepted and tolerated as part of the job. Second, workplace policies and procedures are needed that focus on the security of the environment, reporting and surveillance, and education for all employees and managers on how to prevent and manage violence. When violence does occur, it is critical that formal or informal debriefing be offered to ED nurses experiencing violence.
Future research should be conducted to identify best practices for preventing violence and for the provision of stress debriefing after a violent incident. Research also needs to be conducted to determine the relationship of violence severity to the change in work productivity. In addition, it is not clear why some ED nurses appear to be cognitively resilient to the stressful effects of violence and the consequences it has on work performance. It is also important to examine how violence affects the stress and work productivity of nurses working in other hospital departments.

You Ask, I Answer: Nut Butters, Nut Milks, Protein, and Satiety
I understand that nuts are filling because, in part, of their protein. Do nut milks (e.g., almond milk) possess similar properties? Are they as "filling" or have as much protein?
Also, what is a good protein replacement for nut butters? I like nut butters and love the idea of "bulking up" a piece of bread to make it more satisfying, but sometimes find it hard to digest nuts in large quantities. Is there something else I can put on my breads, muffins, etc. that will make me feel as full for as long as nut butters do?
— Lizzie (Last Name Withheld)
(Location Withheld)
Nut milks offer different nutrient values than nut butters because they have have a much higher water content.
If you make nut milk the traditional way (straining the liquid through a chinois and/or a nutmilk bag before consuming it), most of the "nut mush" (along with its fiber and protein) is caught and does not make it to your beverage.
This helps explain why the average cup (1 serving) of commercial almond milk has 1 gram of protein, while 1 serving (2 tablespoons) of almond butter has 7 grams of protein.
In terms of a good replacement for nut butters, you could always do a combination of nut butters with fruit.
For example, if you normally put 2 tablespoons of nut butter on bread, try 1 tablespoon (or even 2 teaspoons) and then add some sliced bananas or mashed berries. The fiber in the fruit will help you feel full, while the decrease in fat will make the total snack easier to digest.
You could also put a small amount of nut butter on bread and add a sprinkling of hemp, chia, or flax seeds for easier digestion.

These people have made me the food-lover and cook that I am.
My great grandmother Philomena
There was only one way to cook our family's sauce – her way and on Sundays. She looked just like Joe Pesci's mother in Goodfellas – no joke. God, I miss that woman.
Dan's Grandmother Evelyn
She's 100 years old and still drinks whiskey. She's had no fewer than 6 different names in her life and a big story for all of them. She's only answering to Zsa Zsa at the moment. She was never a big cook but she demands the best wherever she goes. High standards make for a kickass female.
My grandfather Bill
He was a son-ofza-bitch, if I may. Not a warm-and-fuzzy kind of guy. He was a grumpy alcoholic with an amputated leg. He had a bb gun he shot from the kitchen window at squirrels to keep them away from his birdfeeder. That same man woke up at 4 am to make an apple pie for his grandkids if we were coming over. He taught me how to treat good cheese with respect and he made the best chicken soup I've ever had.
Anthony Bourdain
Full disclosure – we've never met. But this guy I don't know inspired me to travel to find the best food in the world, then return home for the same exact reason. At our wedding ceremony, our officiant was holding a copy of "Kitchen Confidential" instead of the Bible. You'll hear plenty from him around here through a series of misquotes and blindly accepted opinions. The guy knows how to eat, cook, and travel – all my life's goals.
My Aunt Denise
She's Lebanese and Irish but she taught herself how to make the best pasta e fagioli in the entire family. She's allowed my uncle to take credit for her cooking for 30 years. Everyone in the family knows what's really going on.
My two grandmothers – Mary and Marilyn
They taught me not to mess with a recipe everyone loves. They also taught me it's okay to cheat sometimes – cooking for your family is still cooking, even if it comes from a jar every so often. I also learned cooking is a great way to apologize (or at least call a truce) without actually having to say the words. They are both damn good at this move. I'm praying to every version of God that neither of them reads this. The point is – cooking and eating with your family is the highest showing of love you can offer. You're literally helping to keep your people alive. So sometimes it's homemade, and sometimes it's that awesome chicken place down the street. It's all love here.

How To Find The Best Storage Space For Your Money
Whether you're downsizing, moving or have inherited possession from a family member who has passed on, renting a storage unit allows you to keep everything you own without cluttering your home. Storage can cost less than $30 per month, but you've got plenty of options when it comes to choosing the right storage unit. You may not want to simply go with the first company you see on the side of the road.
Is Bigger Better?
Carefully planning the way you will pack your possessions into storage can help you save room. Vacuum storage bags, boxes packed full and disassembled furniture require less space than when you haphazardly store items. Make sure to throw away any trash before moving to a storage unit like that at Extra Space Storage in Holiday, Florida to save money.
Drive-Up Storage
Vehicle access is also a convenience that many consumers pay more for. If you have to move appliances, heavy boxes or bulky item, first-floor storage is ideal. However, you may pay more for that drive-up access, so renting a handcart for a unit that's further from the lot or on the second floor might get you the better savings.
Location, Location, Location
It might be convenient to go with the storage company right down the road, but it might also cost more. A storage facility that's further away might have the better price, especially if the company is looking to attract new customers. Many customers visit their units only a few times per year so distance isn't a problem.
You Gotta Shop Around
If you want to save money, shop around. Call different companies. Check out their website and Facebook page for coupons. You might be able to save on the first month's rent. Your local newspaper might also include coupons that can save on storage unit costs.
Protection Against the Elements
There are some areas where you do not want to skimp, and climate control is one of those areas. Moisture may damage wood furniture, books, paperwork and art, among other materials. Storage without climate control is a viable option if you can use a dehumidifier to keep the moisture level low. However, these appliances require that you empty the tank periodically, so it's usually a smarter decision to pay for climate-controlled storage to keep your items safe when you can't check in.

Creamy Butternut Squash Soup is a rich, sweet and savory comfort soup that is perfect for Fall and Winter. Top with croutons and chopped roasted pecans!
I have always loved traditional Butternut Squash Soup, but I tried a Butternut Squash Soup at a restaurant called "Blue Lemon" in Salt Lake City and it took my love of Butternut Squash Soup to a whole new level. It really did taste more like dessert than a soup. It is creamy and flavorful, and has all the tastes of fall. It is the most comforting of all comfort foods in my opinion. This recipe is my attempt to re-create their delicious soup at home.
To easily prepare the squash for cooking, trim about 1/4 inch off of each end of the squash with a knife. Using a potato peeler, peel the outer layer of skin off of the squash. Once peeled, cut the squash in half lengthwise with a sharp and sturdy knife. Clean the seeds and pulp from each half. Place the cut side of each half down on a cutting board and slice the squash in 1 inch rows lengthwise and then in 1 inch rows the opposite direction to cube the squash for cooking. To make preparation easier, you can also purchase the squash already cubed in the produce section of your local grocery store.
Butternut squash was given it's name because it is "smooth as butter and sweet as a nut." It does have a smooth texture and a nutty taste to it. There are many health benefits to eating butternut squash. It is high in potassium, manganese, vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin E, and vitamin C. It is recommended as a high-antioxidant food. Butternut squash is also known to reduce inflammation and prevent osteoporosis. Many good reasons to find a place for this nutrient-packed food in your diet!
How to Make Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
- 1/4 cup butter

- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger freshly grated is best!

- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 8 cups butternut squash cut into 1 inch cubes (about 2 lbs butternut squash)

- roasted or candied chopped pecans optional
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and spices to melted better and stir for 1 minute.
Add chicken stock and apple cider. Bring to a boil.
Add squash and carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until squash and carrots can easily be poked with a fork. Check liquid in the pot while simmering. Add more chicken stock if necessary.
Pour all the contents of the pot into a blender. Puree until mixture is smooth.
Blend in 1 cup of heavy cream. Gradually add more until the mixture reaches the consistency of a creamy soup.
Pour the contents of blender back into the pot and keep warm until ready to serve.
After serving soup into individual bowls, garnish with croutons and chopped pecans.
More Delicious Recipes with Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is delicious on its own steamed with butter, salt, and pepper, or sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar. It is very versatile and can be used in place of meat in vegetarian dishes. Here are a few of our favorite ways to use butternut squash:
- Roasted Butternut Squash Flatbread Pizza – This is the pizza of fall! Mozzarella cheese, bacon, kale, roasted butternut squash, and parmesan all on flatbread.
- Gourmet Butternut Squash Burritos – This will change the way you think about burritos. Juicy spice rubbed pork tenderloin that is grilled and sliced, sautéed butternut squash, black beans, cotija cheese, mango salsa, and avocado lime sour cream.

Coffee Morning 22nd March 2014.
This will the third coffee morning we have held. The two previous events have raised in excess of £100 profit, as well as raising the profile of the society and keeping us being involved with the local community.
To make these events successful we need your support, as MPS member either by helping to set up and take down, or serving refreshments, display and or selling some images or greeting cards. A raffle or tombola prize would also be most welcome.
By raising this money we can provide a better programme, potentially start to subsidise some events and also keep membership costs down.
Please give a little of your time to support the Society by participating. To do so please contact Gavin Lake.
Calke Exhibition 29th March – 13th April 2014
We have for the first time been asked to exhibit at Calke Abbey on the above dates. This is a great opportunity to show your images to a large audience. Our exhibition will run alongside the Calke Photography competition pictures. It will be held in The Stables, which is located close to the National Trust ticket office and main restaurant.
We will have 6 display boards in place and will be able to show pictures on both sides of the display boards giving us 12 panels in total. We are proposing these pictures our mounted and framed in the frames owned by the Society. Pictures can be any size and mounted the mounts not exceeding 500mmx400mm.
To take full advantage of this opportunity would members please let Dave Bell know if they are going to exhibit and how many pictures they wish to show? Each panel will hold 4 framed pictures. We would like each participating member to have a display panel each [4 pictures]
We are keen to show a wide range of work by our member so please participate.
Village Voice
The local monthly news magazine for Melbourne are keen to use are pictures in support of article for the society. To assist them with this they are asking for a bank of images to hold on file. If they run an article about the Society then they would have to have these images.
Each image selected would be credited with the photographers name. The individual photographer would retain copyright to the image.
Again this is a wonderful opportunity to have your work published and again to raise the profile of the society. We have found that this visibility has an impact on introducing new members to the Society and retain membership numbers overall, keeping the Society vibrant and active.
To participate please let Gavin Lake have 2 or 3 of your images to submit to the Village Voice.

A Salt Lake City passenger shuttle has been ordered out of service after an FMCSA investigation found evidence of falsified driving records and unsafe equipment. Salt Lake Shuttles has been ordered to cease and desist all operations, because of being an imminent hazard, according to a release issued by the FMCSA on May 3. The stop order affects both the bus company and its president, Jesus Leal Martinez. The company primarily operates a shuttle from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. The order states that investigators found evidence that Salt Lake Shuttles:
The ruling comes on the heels of a compliance review that began on April 8. During the review, FMCSA inspectors inspected all three commercial vehicles in the company's fleet. A total of 25 separate out-of-service violations were discovered on the three vehicles, including inoperable or defective emergency exits on each bus. Some of those violations included defective brakes, leaking wheel hubs and excessive leaking from power steering pumps. With regard to interstate trips, investigators found drivers were routinely dispatched from Kearns, UT, to Las Vegas and back without allowing for adequate rest, in violation of hours-of-service guidelines. The trip from Kearns to Las Vegas is over 420 miles one way. The company was also cited for falsifying driver records in 2010 and 2012. The report also states that the company "placed plastic grocery bags on one emergency exit as well as glue and/or tape on another, rendering the emergency exits inoperable." Salt Lake Shuttles was previously cited for failing to inspect emergency exits during an Aug. 23, 2012, compliance review. According to FMCSA, Friday's action marks the fifth shutdown of a passenger carrier following the deployment earlier this month of more than 50 specially trained safety investigators targeting high-risk passenger carriers. In the past two weeks, FMCSA investigators have shut down bus companies in the District of Columbia, Georgia, Ohio and New York. Since the beginning of 2013, the agency has also issued stop orders to a total of 12 bus companies and seven trucking companies. The agency has also declared three commercial driver's license holders as imminent hazards.

Grilling vegetables shouldn't be tough, right? They are very quick to cook and are delicious with just a hint of smoke. But, many people make mistakes when they fail to evaluate the cooking time, and vegetables lose crispiness, which should be the priority here. Fortunately, unlike with the meat, you can tell the veggies are done by just looking at them.
So, we are going to give you some tips how to make the juiciest, but at the same time the crispiest vegetables on the grill.
Use the oil
Veggies tend to dry out when they hit the grill, that's why you need a bit of oil. Before you put them on frill, make sure to toss them with a light coating of oil. You can choose an oil based on your preference, but we would recommend the olive oil for this occasion.
But, make sure to limit the amount of oil because you don't want to add unnecessary calories. Also, too much oil can spoil the flavor of vegetables. At this stage, you should also add seasonings and oil will help them stick to the veggies.
Know how to prevent the burning
Some veggies need just a couple of minutes to cook, while others take longer. In this case, you need to know your vegetables and how much time they need to grill. For example, dense veggies, like potato need a bit more time to cook.
But, if you keep them too long at a high temperature, you will burn them outside and keep them raw on the inside. If you want to prevent the burning, you should place them on high heat, and then move them to colder parts of the grill to finish cooking.
Size matters
How you prepare the vegetables, will determine how they will be cooked. If you want them to cook more quickly, then you should cut them into small pieces and use a skewer to keep them on a grill. For example, onions and eggplants should be sliced roundly. In this case, you will get more surface area, and they will be crispier outside.

High School Sports
Blythewood, Saitz part ways
Geremy Saitz is out after four seasons as football coach of the Blythewood Bengals, athletics director Vince Lowery said Thursday.
"We felt like we wanted to go in a different direction," Lowery said. "We appreciate everything Geremy has done for our program. But at this time, we feel like it's in our best interest to go under new guidance."
In four seasons, Saitz compiled a 27-17 record, which included a 10-0 mark in his first season. The Bengals are coming off a 4-8 season that ended with a 41-31 loss to Summerville in the opening round of the Class 4A Division I playoffs.
"We had a difference in philosophies," Saitz said. "I wanted to hold players accountable for their actions, to work and be disciplined. The ones that didn't do that were not going to be a part of our program. I thought it was a privilege to play football for Blythewood and wanted our young men to take that same approach."
Blythewood won the Class 3A championship in 2006 under the guidance of Jeff Scott, who left for Presbyterian College after one season. Reggie Shaw replaced Scott, but he resigned before coaching a game.
The Bengals were banned from the 2007 playoffs as punishment for practicing in full pads in May and in late July before the start of fall practice, a violation of S.C. High School League rules. Shaw stepped down at that point, and Saitz took over on an interim basis.
The Bengals finished the season undefeated, and Saitz was given the job full-time.
"I was grateful that the administration at Blythewood gave me the opportunity to be a head coach," Saitz said. "I took over in a very difficult situation, but we were able to go in the right direction after that."
Before assuming the head coaching position, Saitz served as defensive line coach and special teams coordinator. He has been at Blythewood since its opening in 2005. He previously coached at Brookland-Cayce, Richland Northeast and Ridge View.
"I loved coaching those players," Saitz said. "My goal was to mold young men to where they could be productive members of society. I sat the bar high, and I believe that is where the difference in philosophies came into play."

We are looking for an online form site to create registration forms for our afternoon classes. The forms are rather lengthy, and require the user to look up information they probably don't know off the top of their heads. They are likely to be interrupted before they finish and will not be happy if they have to start all over again if that happens.

With JotForm Builder Laurel, almost everything is possible :)
We had people design entire website in our form builder, but that is another story.
We actually have 2 different features that will help you do this each having its own purpose.
1st option is to have data stored on our server until the submission is finally made. This is based on having 2 jotforms (so 2 submissions are needed for this to work), but the data lasts for a very long time and can be accessed from any device using the special (and simple) URL.
How to set it up:
How to Save Forms to Continue Later
How to Create Multi Page Forms
2nd option is to have data stored on users browser, which does not requite pages on your jotform nor anything other than a simple setup on your jotform how often the data would need to be saved.
The only downside of this approach is that for very long forms this can be a tad slower (depending on the users machine) and can only be continued over the same browser.
How to set it up:
How to Create Multi Page Forms
Do let us know which option you go for especially if you have any difficulties setting it up, but also feel free to ask us any questions that you might have before or while setting up your jotform. :)

New Creative: We produced a spot that highlighted new General Manager Alex Flores. The plan was for Alex to speak directly to the market while also sharing one of his greatest accomplishments. Alex is a 3 time combat Veteran of the US Army, and his work with Veterans is something special to not only him but also to the Capitol family. All creative included the message that Alex is a Veteran and that all Veterans are always welcome at Capitol Chevrolet. Plus to differentiate Capitol Chevrolet from other domestic dealers in the market they launched a oiconsistent message promoting No Payments for 90 Days, No Money Down, and Oil Changes for Life. The key was making sure this message was on all advertising platforms including TV, Radio, Digital, Outdoor, and in House. The creative changes from month to month, but always with the same consistent overall messaging.
New Media Plan and Strategy: Capitol Chevrolet had been on TV and a little radio, but they wanted to make a bigger splash. Using competitive spending and other metric information a new plan came together to get the maximum amount of eyeballs. Capitol Chevrolet invested in a media push on all media platforms utilizing appointment Television, Drive Time radio, and an overall market blitz to guarantee Capitol became the top of mind auto dealer in Austin Texas. Capitol Chevrolet also launched a concentrated effort to reach out to the large and growing consumer Hispanic market in the region. Spanish TV and radio as well as community outreach have been an important piece in the plan that have made Capitol Chevrolet the number one overall Automotive dealer for Hispanics in and around the Austin Texas market.

After the U.S. Senate recently passed a massive tax reform bill, Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi said, "This is Armageddon." President Donald Trump called it "an incredible victory for the American people." There's been plenty of hyperbole going around about this historic legislation. Like it or loathe it, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 could be sent to Trump for his signature later this month. Here are some thoughts on both sides of the issue from politicians, economists and analysts.
10. "I can't figure out how come we're about to spend one and a half trillion dollars on a tax cut that will mostly benefit people in my income group instead of — if we're going to run the debt up, we ought to at least spend it on infrastructure where there's a high rate of return and we'll get the money back."
— Former President Bill Clinton. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated the plan would add $1.4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years, although supporters claim that would be offset by economic growth spurred by tax cuts.
9. "Residents of states with higher tax rates — like California, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York — might be facing bigger tax bills if the Republicans' tax reform is kept in its current form. … Proposed changes to state and local tax and mortgage deductions could be especially damaging to those residents. State and local taxes (also known as SALT) include state sales tax, property and real estate taxes. Individuals can currently deduct those taxes as an itemized deduction."
— CNBC.com, noting that the loss of those deductions could lead taxpayers in those states to oppose higher taxes, while some would choose to move to a state with a lower tax rate.
8. "I am not able to cast aside my fiscal concerns and vote for legislation that I believe, based on the information I currently have, could deepen the debt burden on future generations."
— Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the only GOP senator to vote against it.
7. "Good tax reform should make a complex economy more efficient and ultimately put money in people's pockets. Some tax deals go heavy on benefiting individuals. This legislation does some of that. But the larger opportunity is on the business side, providing relief and investment incentives to employers. Therefore, our focus is on whether this bill reshapes tax policy in a way that helps Americans become more prosperous by spurring job and wage growth. We believe this tax reform bill will strengthen the American economy and create wealth, so we support passage."
— A Chicago Tribune editorial
6. "More than 60% of U.S. households would get tax cuts from the Senate Republican tax plan in 2019, while 8% would pay more."
— The Wall Street Journal, summarizing a report by the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation. The report also found that more than 10 percent of households earning between $75,000 and $500,000 would see tax increases for 2019, while 19 percent earning more than $1 million would pay higher taxes that year.
5. "This is so bad. We have just gotten list of amendments to be included in bill NOT from our R colleagues, but from lobbyists downtown. None of us have seen this list, but lobbyists have it. Need I say more? Disgusting. And we probably will not even be given time to read them."
— Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), complaining via Twitter that many senators had not had the chance to read the final version of the bill. Republicans pointed out this is akin to the scenario before the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, when Nancy Pelosi famously said Congress would have to pass the bill to find out what's in it.
4. "The core of the bill is a huge redistribution of income from lower- and middle-income families to corporations and business owners. Corporate tax rates go down sharply, while ordinary families are nickel-and-dimed by a series of tax changes, no one of which is that big a deal in itself, but which add up to significant tax increases on almost two-thirds of middle-class taxpayers."
— New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, citing data from a University of Chicago poll of economists around the country. Krugman goes on to note that most middle-class families would see modest tax cuts the first few years, but they're scheduled to expire at the end of 2025.
3. "The Democratic class warfare will continue even after President Trump signs the bill, and that will create two big problems. The first is that the Democrats will probably pursue a long-term campaign to repeal the pro-growth elements of the bill, as they did with the George W. Bush tax cuts. The second is that if Republicans attempt to cut spending in the coming months and years, the Democrats could make political headway by complaining that tax cuts for the rich led to benefit cuts for everyone else."
— Chris Edwards, director of tax policy studies at the conservative Cato Institute, in commentary in National Review.
2. "It is the end of the world. The debate on health care is life/death. This is Armageddon."
— Democratic congressional leader Nancy Pelosi, alluding to the part of the tax reform bill that repeals Obamacare's individual mandate.
1. "So right now, America's tax code is a total dysfunctional mess. The current system has cost our nation millions of American jobs, trillions and trillions of dollars, and billions of hours wasted on paperwork and compliance. It is riddled with loopholes that let some special interests — including myself, in all fairness. This is going to cost me a fortune, this thing — believe me."
— President Donald Trump, at a rally in Missouri. It would be impossible to verify whether the president would lose a "fortune" due to the tax cut, because he has not released any of his tax returns. But the Washington Post examined the partial 2005 tax return that was leaked to the media last year, and found that President Trump would have saved up to $42 million on those taxes under the House bill and $35.1 million under the Senate bill. Perhaps his tax situation has changed in the past decade. Yet contrary to what some people believe, just because high earners would benefit from tax reform doesn't automatically mean it's a win-lose situation that would harm the middle class and others.

The 'Spring Style Treat' Edit
Amberley bag by Mulberry | Leaf print pyjamas by hush | Pleated vase by LSA | Round mirror by H&M Home | Bardot top by New Look | Lace midi dress by Monsoon | Tweed blazer by Warehouse | Silk pillowcase by Slip | Stripe bikini by M&S | Velvet kitten heels by Attico
I don't know about you, but once the seasons change I always develop an overwhelming urge to shop. And right now I'm really having to reel myself back in, because there are SO many delicious spring buys catching my eye…
Topping my wish list, this week, is Warehouse's chic tweed blazer. I love the loose shape and gold button detailing. It would look great worn with white skinny jeans, a simple grey tee and pointed-toe heels. I'm getting major "off-duty Hollywood actress" vibes just looking at it!
Also catching my eye is hush's leaf print pyjama set (the hot-pink piping is irresistible), and Monsoon's lace midi dress, which is a brilliant buy if you have spring weddings to attend.
Then, on the home and lifestyle side of things, I can't stop thinking about H&M Home's graphic, round mirror (a total bargain at £17.99). And I've also fallen head-over-heels for LSA's elegant pleated vase. The latter is a classic purchase you're sure to love forever.
Long story short, someone needs to hide my credit card from me, asap!
Are you also fighting a serious urge to shop, right now? Which style buys are topping your wish lists, this week?

Double Jeopardy Protections
Double jeopardy is an issue that frequently comes up when a defendant commits a crime in multiple jurisdictions such as different states, different counties, or the state and federal system. The issue often arises either when the defendant's conduct violates both state and federal law or when the crime takes place in multiple states. Most people have a general idea of what double jeopardy is, but many are surprised to learn that United States Constitution's double jeopardy protections are much weaker than one might think. In general, double jeopardy is the idea that a defendant may not be tried twice for the same case. If the defendant has already been convicted or acquitted, then the defendant should not be tried again for the same crime in the same court.
A Defendant Who Is Acquitted Cannot Be Tried Twice In The Same Jurisdiction
This rule holds true in both Pennsylvania and federal courts to the extent that a defendant who is acquitted in a Pennsylvania court may not be tried again in a Pennsylvania court and a defendant who is acquitted in a federal court generally may not be tried again in a federal court. However, the law becomes much more complicated when the issue is whether a defendant may face charges in both Pennsylvania and federal court or Pennsylvania and another state.
The Federal Government May Prosecute Despite a State Court Conviction or Acquittal
Federal law provides very weak protections against a defendant facing charges in both state and federal court for the same conduct. In the federal system, it is possible for the federal government to bring criminal charges against a defendant who has already been convicted of a state crime for the same conduct. The Department of Justice has guidelines which discourage prosecutors from bringing charges against a defendant who has already faced charges in the state system, but there is no absolute ban on the federal government's ability to do so.
Therefore, a defendant who has been acquitted of charges in the Pennsylvania courts could be charged with and tried in the federal system despite the fact that the defendant already won the case in Pennsylvania. This is because of the idea that the state and the federal government are "dual sovereigns." This means that under federal law, both the United States and state government may both prosecute you for a crime without violating the constitutional protection against double jeopardy if your act violated both state laws and federal statute.
Pennsylvania Prosecutors Often May Not Bring Charges After A Federal Conviction or Acquittal
Pennsylvania law provides much stronger protections against being tried twice for the same conduct than federal law. A recent case from the Superior Court, Commonwealth v. Gross, illustrates the protections available to a defendant under Pennsylvania law when the defendant has already been tried in federal court. In Gross, the defendant was charged in Pennsylvania with conspiracy to commit unlawful possession of a firearm, firearms not to be carried without a license, possession of firearm prohibited, and lending or giving of firearms prohibited. While the charges were pending, Gross was indicted and pleaded guilty in the federal system for making false statements to a federal firearms licensee in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(1)(A).4. Specifically, the federal government alleged that Gross knowingly lied to a licensed firearms dealer about her current residence when completing ATF Form 4473 in connection with the purchase of a firearm by stating that she resided in Pennsylvania when she actually resided in New Jersey.
After Gross pleaded guilty in federal court, she moved to dismiss the Pennsylvania charges on double jeopardy grounds. The trial court denied the motion to dismiss, and Gross appealed. In most cases, a criminal defendant may not appeal the denial of a pre-trial motion before the trial has taken. However, double jeopardy motions provide a rare instance in which the defendant may take an interlocutory appeal following the denial of a pre-trial motion so long as the trial court does not find that the interlocutory appeal would be frivolous.
The Superior Court reversed the trial court's denial of the motion to dismiss on double jeopardy grounds because Pennsylvania provides relatively strong protections against being retried for the same offense following a federal or out-of-state conviction or acquittal. The Superior Court noted that Section 111 of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code governs the issue and provides:
When conduct constitutes an offense within the concurrent jurisdiction of this Commonwealth and of the United States or another state, a prosecution in any such other jurisdiction is a bar to a subsequent prosecution in this Commonwealth under the following circumstances: (1) The first prosecution resulted in an acquittal or a conviction as defined in section 109 of this title (relating to when prosecution barred by former prosecution for the same offense) and the subsequent prosecution is based on the same conduct unless: (i) the offense of which the defendant was formerly convicted or acquitted and the offense for which he is subsequently prosecuted each requires proof of a fact not required by the other and the law defining each of such offenses is intended to prevent a substantially different harm or evil.
Pennsylvania May Not Prosecute if the State and Federal Statutes Were Intended to Prevent the Same Harm or Evil
In Gross, the trial court and Commonwealth agreed that Gross had been charged for the same conduct and that the first prosecution had resulted in a conviction. Further, the federal statutes and state statutes clearly had different elements which prosecutors would be required to prove. Therefore, the issue was whether the laws defining each of the offenses were intended to prevent a substantially different harm or evil.
The Superior Court took a fairly broad view in defining the harm or evil which the laws were meant to prevent. The Superior Court found that the purpose of the federal statute prohibiting false statements in connection with the purchase of a firearm was not limited to preventing fraud in connection with the purchase of a firearm from a licensed dealer. Instead, the statute also had the purpose of curbing crime by keeping firearms out of the hands of people who were not entitled to possess them. Thus, the purpose of the federal statute was not only to prevent fraud; it was also to reduce gun violence and violent crime in general.
Likewise, the purpose of the Pennsylvania statutes was to regulate the possession and distribution of firearms, which are highly dangerous and are frequently used in the commission of crimes. Therefore, the Superior Court found that both the federal and state statutes under which Gross was prosecuted were designed to vindicate substantially the same interests, i.e., the protection of the public by prohibiting the transfer of certain firearms to various categories of individuals. Because the Commonwealth failed to show that Pennsylvania had a substantially different interest, the Superior Court barred state prosecutors from bringing charges against Gross for the same conduct for which she had already been convicted in federal court.
Pennsylvania Provides Greater Double Jeopardy Protections Than Federal Law
As Gross illustrates, Pennsylvania law provides greater double jeopardy protections than federal law. Further, these critical distinctions between state and federal law show that criminal law is complicated and that there may be defenses in cases which a non-criminal lawyer could miss. If you are facing criminal charges, it is critical that you hire a criminal defense attorney who focuses his or her practice on criminal law and stays on top of new developments in the law. If you are facing criminal charges in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, call 267-225-2545 for a free 15-minute criminal defense strategy session with one of our award-winning Philadelphia criminal defense lawyers.

Big Birthday Weekend for KGVO's Peter Christian
Yes, I'll admit it... I turned 60 on Friday, May 24, 2013.
Not only that, but 2013 marks my 40th year in broadcasting! I remember when my dad was still alive, he would always ask me the same question.
"Son, when are you going to get a real job?"
Well, 40 years later, I'm still doing radio... and very happy indeed. My kids, Luke and Jenna, got together and gave me and my beautiful wife, Lorna, a weekend at the Coeur D' Alene Resort! Fancy dinner, golf, luxurious room, the whole package, and it was great!! Below, see a photo of me playing golf.
Now, I know it looks more like I'm chopping wood, but it's actually my golf swing... 40 yards straight down the opposite fairway, every time! After all, they call it 'golf' because all the really good four-letter words were already taken.
For my birthday, my co-workers got me gifts I can really use...(please see photo of Dr Pepper, Chips Ahoy cookies and puffy Cheetos). Then, at Beverly's Restaurant, they gave me this cotton candy dessert with a scoop of ice cream and a candle in the middle.
All in all, it was a terrific birthday, and my thanks to all! Remember, turning 60... sure beats the alternative, if you know what I mean!
