A 43-year-old Waterbury man has been arrested for performing work without a license and causing a fire at the Southwood Gardens apartments at 933 Rubber Ave. in Naugatuck on Dec. 7, police said.
Angel Lopez-Sanchez, of 22 West Farms St., was charged with performing work without a license, second-degree reckless endangerment and risk of injury to a child in relation to the incident.
Police say Lopez-Sanchez used a blowtorch to remove tile flooring and a toilet in a bathroom; he was trying to melt the glue with the blowtorch when the floor caught fire, police said.
The fire began in apartment eight and quickly spread. Several people, including children, were inside when the flames broke out. Nine people were displaced by the fire, which was put out by Naugatuck, Waterbury and Oxford firefighters. Nobody was injured.
Lopez-Sanchez was released on a $10,000 cash bond and is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at Waterbury Superior Court.

The following is a Plus Edition article, written by and copyright by Dick Eastman.
Now you can carry your favorite computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and more with you. You can use them on any Windows computer, all without leaving any personal data behind. You can do this by installing some, but not all, Windows programs onto a flash drive.
To be sure, most Windows programs will not install properly on a flash drive that is to be moved from computer to computer. The majority of Windows programs insist upon writing to the Windows Registry and also placing files in Windows' system directories. However, a few enterprising programmers have found ways around this by modifying a number of programs. You still cannot install Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel or even Family Tree Maker onto a flash drive and then take it to another Windows computer for use. However, more than 300 other programs have been modified to run from a flash drive.
Using any of these modified programs, you can plug the flash drive into any Windows computer, such as the one on your desk at work or at a friend's house or at a public library or at an Internet café. You can run any or all of these programs directly from the flash drive; they do not need to be installed on the computer's hard drive. When finished, you remove the flash drive and take it with you. Best of all, your data goes with you as well. These modified programs do not write to the Windows Registry and do not leave any data behind on the computer's hard drive. As a result, your data is secure. Your data only exists on the flash drive in your pocket or purse.
You can have everything you need for work and play with you on every PC you use. At work, at home, at school, visiting family and friends, at a library, even while traveling. And all your bookmarks, emails, personal files and settings stay right on your flash drive, as well. Now you can have your own browser with all your favorite bookmarks and extensions, your full office suite, your photo editor, your entire music collection, the presentations you plan to make, your favorite games, your development tools, a genealogy program, and more. Nothing gets left behind on the computer you used. Now, every PC becomes your PC.

"I have been wearing Teva's for years and love them but definitely dislike that they turn my feet black. I don't think my first few pairs did this but it seems like my more recent ones do. Not sure if they changed something, I am considering changing brands. I have to scrub my feet to remove the black dye, but they are comfortable and more stylish than other flip flop styles."

How many mobile phones have you had to replace before they were out of date because you lost yours somewhere? Check the lost and found of any bar or restaurant and you'll see that it's not uncommon for people to simply leave their phones behind when they're out and about. Hopefully you've got everything on your phone backed up so that you don't have too many hassles when replacing your lost phone. However it's a lot better for you if you don't lose it in the first place, right? And wouldn't it be nice if we could teach our kids to avoid losing their cell phones too?!Here are ten ways that you can make sure you stop losing your phone:
Make it a habit to check that you have it. Call me compulsive but I always check that I have my mobile on me before I leave any place that I'm at. I check it before leaving my house, before leaving the coffee shop I ducked into for two minutes to buy a latte and before leaving any event that I've attended. This way I can guarantee that I know the exact place where the mobile phone was lost which makes it a whole lot easier to find. Usually all I need to do is have someone who's with me call the phone and I end up finding it somewhere close by.
Try the Zomm Wireless Leash. This is a new gadget designed specifically for people who regularly lose their mobile phone. It's a good solution for folks who can't remember to check for their phones on a regular basis (or who just don't want to be bothered. This is a keyring that is wirelessly connected to your phone. Whenever the keyring or the mobile is lost, the Zomm device will buzz to let you know that you're leaving the mobile phone behind. This works well unless you happen to leave your mobile phone in the same place as your keys and lose them both at the same time! It was created by a mom who was tired of hearing about her kids always losing their phones so it might be a good solution for parents with this problem.
Always keep your mobile phone in the same place. This is one of those tips that you should have learned a long time ago about all of your items. If something has a place and you always put it in its place then you're a lot less likely to lose track of it. Make sure that you have a set place for where you keep your phone when you are out. Always keep it in the same pocket of your purse or in the same section of your briefcase. If you keep it in a jacket pocket then make sure it's always on the same side. Knowing where your phone is supposed to be will help you easily realise when it's not there so that you can retrace your steps and find it.
Don't put your mobile phone in your pocket. One of the most common ways that a mobile phone gets lost is that it gets put into a back pocket. As you sit down and get up, it wiggles its way out. Naturally it ends up getting left behind somewhere (or worse yet, dropped into a toilet!) Ladies may want to avoid putting mobile phones in their pockets at all since women's jeans tend to have small pockets that phones easily slither out of. Instead, keep your cell phone in a jacket pocket or carry-along item like a backpack or purse.
Set the alarm to go off several times per day. This can be a headache but it's a good way to avoid losing your phone. The alarm will go off and you'll automatically know where your phone is. If it's somewhere that it's not supposed to be then you'll be able to hear it. Once you get used to the alarm, you'll notice when it doesn't go off and then you'll be able to tell if you are so far out of range of your phone that it must be missing.
Have other people ask you if you have your mobile phone with you. If you don't want to set an alarm then maybe you can rely on the people in your life to help you out. Ask the folks that you spend the most time with to try to remember to ask you regularly if you've got your mobile phone on you. It may turn into a big joke but chances are that with the help of everyone else around you you're going to be able to avoid leaving your cell phone behind anywhere that you may go.
Put an ID label on your mobile phone. One good way to avoid permanently losing your gadgets is to make sure that people who find them have an easy way to get them back to you. Although some good Samaritans will call the folks in your cell phone's address book until they find someone who can get the phone to you, most won't. Make it easy on them by putting an ID label on the phone so that they know where to return the handset to. Better yet, register your mobile phone with one of the online services that helps connect people to their gadgets and then use the label provided by them to make sure that anyone who finds your phone knows how to return it to you. This protects your anonymity, while making sure to get the phone back to you intact. In the UK you can also register your mobile phone with the National Property Register to ensure that it gets returned to you if it's stolen and the police come across it.
Install tracking software. This software is most commonly used by suspicious spouses who want to track where their honeys are through their mobile phone locations. However, people who have a serious problem with regularly losing their mobile phones might choose to install this tracking software onto their own phones. This way you can get online and check where your mobile phone is when you've lost it.
Use Phone Finder applications. These days most of the best things that you can do with your mobile phone are available through app downloads. Finding your lost phone with apps is possible, too. For example, there's a Windows Mobile phone app called Phone Finder which you install on your phone. If you lose your phone, you simply text it. The app uses the GPS on your phone to tell you where the phone is located once you've sent this text. Android users can try WaveSecure which lets you lock down your phone and locate it using your computer.
Wait for Prototype Goggles. This product isn't out on the market yet but it's a concept idea that might be good for people who regularly lose their mobile phones. Basically you would wear a camera on you at all times. You would teach the camera to recognize your mobile phone. If you lost your mobile phone then you would tell the camera that you want to know where your mobile phone is. The video would be played back to you to show you where the last time your mobile phone was spotted would be. Is this something that you would wear?

So sorry you're joining us in this group. Who knows why they do the dumb stuff they do. Be good to yourself, and know that we're here for you.
2nd DD antiversary yesterday and it was rough, but I'm still here today.
[This message edited by AkKat22 at 12:15 AM, June 24th (Friday)]
I posted on this forum last in February of last year. It has been about a year and a half since I found out about my husbands affair with another officer while he was deployed. Things have gotten easier. He has been stateside since April of 2010 but living in another state because I was finishing school and he got stationed somewhere else.
We talked through many of our issues when he got home and I asked him questions about his affair and he apologized.
I am still having trouble with it now and then. He gets quiet and shuts down when I ask him anything about it. It almost seems like he gets mad but he is trying to hide it. I am afraid to talk to him about it, especially so long from when it happened because deep down I feel like our marriage is still so fragile that he may just decide I will never forgive him and leave.
I never asked for the exact details (whether they had sex or not). I know I really don't want to know but part of me feels like I need to know. Is it better to wonder if they did and picture it or know that they did and still picture it? Either way I see it in my head.
All of this was triggered the other day because I had my annual exam and they told me that I wouldn't need a pap smear because mine have routinely been clean, unless my husband or myself have had other partners. I told them I didn't need one but part of me wonders if that is true. I emailed him and told him what they said and told him that I didn't want to know anything but if there is any reason that I should have gotten one that I need to know, like if he has noticed anything with himself health wise. I am pretty sure I have nothing to worry about there but I had a scare many years ago where I had precancerous lesions on my cervix and since then I have been paranoid. My doctor said it was so long ago and I have been good since but still I don't want some tramp my husband was deployed with to mess with my health.
Sorry for the rant, I had to get that out.
You deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing your health was not compromised by your WH...get tested for everything. You have nothing to be ashamed about -- after DD #1 I sat sobbing in the exam room with my then wonderful PA, who handed me tissues and said that I deserved to know about my health and he would help me make sure I was OK. It was a healing moment. One you completely deserve!!
So now everytime he is away with business with job or military, I freak out on him because he doesn't call me like he called her
Oh, I know the feeling. My H is gone all the freaking time (stupid Army!) and I go crazy. Every time he leaves, I'm constantly checking phone records, emails, bank accounts, etc to see what he's up to, who he's with, where he is, etc. I hate this. Its horrible enough that I have to worry about him getting killed/injured all the damn time, but now I have to worry about him being unfaithful too.
In any case, I'm new & I posted this today in another forum, but it really should be on thread. I'm 3yrs post affair after enduring a 1yr deployment while spouse was living it up in Bahrain w/some lowly MOW. Here it is:
What I really want to do is write the F' word 3x in colorful, giant, bold letters w/an exclamation point.
It's difficult to not chastise oneself for
1. Being in limbo
2. having contemptuous feelings twds the WS
3. Regretting not ending it all when it all fell out
4. still struggling to find which path is the best for oneself in the long run
5. watching the years go by while deciding which way to go
6. sliding back two steps for every step forward
7. not realizing sooner that WS will never be 100% forthcoming and allowing oneself to be lured by the dangling carrot of hope that maybe, just maybe, today will be the day when the WS will come clean.
8. not thinking clearly and developing two opposing voices in the head that will just NOT stop bickering.
btw: Yes, I did try IC for a bit and read every book, article, and forum. I'm just thinking that perhaps the damage was to great to repair, as I am ordinarily a very level headed and forgiving individual. And....WS is remorseful, shamed, humiliated, exposed, and just dying to repair the damage (except his stories don't jive). It's me. I'm the one no longer in the boat.
I feel bad about thinking this, but they are using live rounds, and you know what I'm thinking. God forgive me!
I hate it when he calls, I hate it when he doesn't. I hate that the scum that text him inappropriately is there. I hate that she thought the door was open for her to walk through. I hate that he allowed her to think it. I hate the army, I hate their creed. I am mad at him for doing this to our life without giving it a second thought! I hate it when he tells me he loves me, what does that even mean anymore?
Mad is better than numb. When I am numb, i want out!
I thought when he got back from deployment things would get better, doesn't seem to be working out that way though.
i'm new here. found out about an ea my wh had on 21 june 2011. he is deployed for a year to afghanistan. the ow is also active duty there with him. i found out 3 months and 3 weeks into the deployment... a long way off till march 2012 when he comes home. how in the world do we "fix" this while we can't even see each other? the time difference, the communication difficulties, the fact that the ow is there and there is no chance for nc with her for him....
he has stopped all contact other than what is professionally necessary, and lets me know when he must deal with her. he calls and skypes me when he can and i do feel that he is indeed sorry and is trying. i am seeing a counselor and just got on zoloft today. i couldn't function! crying all the time, feelings of despair and hopelessness... pathetic. i have read a lot in the healing library, good stuff.
just wanted to know if anyone had anything to say on how to deal with this while we are so physically far apart... i have to believe that r is possible! i just never knew something like this could hurt so badly.... i mean, like, physically hurt.
So I'm having a bit of a dilemma, which I guess can be applied to any cheating situation really.
My husband is currently overseas but is deployed to a very lucky location where there are almost all of the amenities of home. He has the internet in his room and because of this we are incredibly lucky and can talk every day on skype as well as use facebook.
So, if I find out that is he cheating because I was doing something that I wasn't supposed to be doing (checking up on his facebook account, which he doesn't know that I know the password to) in the first place, do I confront him? Also, should I not confront him because he's deployed?
I hate that I am the one being screwed over here and yet I am still worried about his well-being first!?!?
What makes me mad, is that nothing is being done to either of them! They should be charged...he's 2 ranks above her, he should be court martialled! I'm so mad that this was so easy to do while fighting a war....
the baby was born in July.

About the Program
Since 1996 the MA in the History of Decorative Arts program has offered a one-of-a-kind academic experience to the newest generation of decorative arts professionals. Located at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, the program is distinguished by several important aspects that set it apart from other courses of graduate study:
Wide-Ranging Academic Experience
A comprehensive grounding in the history of European and American decorative arts complemented with a consideration of non-Western art. In addition to theoretical and contextual studies, academic skills are built through courses that focus on furniture, ceramics, glass, costume, textiles, and metalwork. Study abroad opportunities are available to students through our partnership with the University of Glasgow.
Expert and Engaged Faculty
Students are guided in their studies by recognized educators and specialists, and have access to a wide network of decorative arts professionals.
Curriculum that Fosters Individual Focus
The 48-credit masters degree program consists of sixteen 3-credit courses. Students select half of their course work as electives, enhancing general training with opportunities for personal specialization.
