A scathing report on an investigation of Richmond's Department of Social Services confirms allegations children were in fact being kept in unsafe situations. The Inspector General's Office released twelve pages worth of findings Thursday.
A disturbing picture was painted in the troubling report.
In their presentation to the city's audit committee, investigators didn't mince words.
"The health and safety of the children was compromised," Investigator Andrew Harris said.
It was compromised in a way, which made it difficult for children to thrive and in some instances even survive.
The report details cases where Richmond's kids were left in the hands of caregivers with mental health issues or drug addictions.
Other examples include kids with serious medical issues, who doctors say weren't being properly cared for and others who suffered regular abuse. All of these kids were forced to stay in the dangerous homes, the report says, to keep foster care numbers low.
Stephen Harms was brought in to right the social services ship.
"I want to give you the assurance and this comes straight from the mayor that will not be tolerated," he told committee members.
Harms asserted the hostile work environment for child protective services caseworkers, which was detailed in the findings, is unacceptable. He explained a plan where DSS has removed managers who are not fit for these types of positions and redeployed staff.
"We're saying all hands on deck," he explained. "We need you back directly in child protective services helping to carry some of these cases. We're continuing to advertise and recruit for those positions."
The crackdown is a work in progress. Thursday's release is just the first of three reports requested by the mayor, all of which are expected to confirm the alarming allegations.
The state report is scheduled for release in the beginning of next month. The independent review by the Child Welfare League should come out right after that.

Senate OKs bonus-depreciation extension
A one-year extension of the accelerated bonus depreciation for general aviation aircraft purchases was included in S.1637, the Jumpstart Our Business Strength (Jobs) Act, which the Senate passed by an overwhelming 92-5 vote last month. The next step is for the House of Representatives to pass similar legislation.
Under bonus depreciation, the taxpayer can claim a first-year federal tax deduction of 50 percent of the cost of the aircraft on top of otherwise available depreciation. The new law would make bonus depreciation available for new aircraft purchased this year, but placed in service during calendar year 2005. The deduction also covers major improvements made to an aircraft, such as installation of TAWS, RVSM equipment, hush kits and refurbishments.
General aviation groups lobbied for the extension because of the long lead time to produce an airplane. Under present law, the aircraft would have to be purchased and placed in service by the end of this year.

(LONDON) -- Texan supermodel Jerry Hall dazzled the British theater critics with her glamour on Wednesday but left most of them underwhelmed with her acting prowess as the middle-aged temptress in ``The Graduate.''
``Don't give up the day job Jerry,'' the Daily Telegraph concluded after she took over the role of Mrs. Robinson played on film by Anne Bancroft in 1967 and then on the London stage by Kathleen Turner this year.
Hall bared all for a now notorious nude scene at Tuesday's glittering first night, when ex-husband Mick Jagger and 14-year-old son James were on hand to offer moral support.
Despite the mixed newspaper reviews, producer Sacha Brooks was in a bullish mood.
He said box office takings had gone up 30 percent overnight and pointed to radio critics who spoke of ``a great show and a great performance.''
The Daily Telegraph's Charles Spencer, who had hailed Nicole Kidman's naked London stage debut as ``pure theatrical Viagra,'' was the harshest critic of Hall's acting.
``She looks like a lifesize Barbie doll after a near suicidal diet and a drastic breast reduction job and speaks as if someone were pulling a string in her back,'' he said.
The Evening Standard was equally blunt.
``Her acting tends to be as wan and undernourished as an over-dieting model,'' it said. ``It is a role for which she was miscast and far too inexperienced.''
Other critics were dazzled by her beauty and more charitable about her acting shortcomings.
``Jerry, I'm afraid, is no actress. But she has got great legs and she brings to the role the deportment and poise of a top class model,'' the Daily Express said.
``You may see the wheels go round when she is saying her lines but, boy, she wears her clothes like a pro.''
The Times agreed: ``In many ways, Hall is fine. She is cool, suave, languid, elegant, charismatic and bored without being boring. Hall is less admirable when more is demanded of her.''
And the Daily Mail was pleasantly surprised after all the hype surrounding the show that has already taken $750,000 in advance bookings for Hall's six-month run.
``The show is far from disastrous -- more like a surprise and a success. She looks like a tragic, isolated Venus,'' it said.
``The amazing thing about Miss Hall is that she retains her glamour and style while exposing Mrs. Robinson as a waste of space.''

By Michael Arbeiter, Hollywood.com Staff
David Fincher must spend a lot of time on the subway, because he seems to choose his film prospects based on the subterranean transport system's most common reading material. The director has embraced a variety of nose-burying pandemics to produce beloved big screen productions like Fight Club, The Social Network, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (okay, not all were so beloved). Now, yet another piece of bestselling literature might find itself earning the Fincher touch: Deadline reports that the filmmaker is in talks to adapt the 2012 novel Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
The source material is none too far a stretch for Fincher, who dabbles regularly in the realms of psychological thriller and gritty drama. The story, which chronicles the plummet of a young couple's marriage as suspicions arise linking husband Nick to unsolved murders, feels like the kind of thing with which the dark sensibilities of Fincher might have a field day.
So now that Fincher is the big name to take hold of the camera, who could step in as stars Nick and Amy? (Considering the fact that Reese Witherspoon is on board as producer, we might not be too far off in believing that she has a shot at the lead female.)

Sand cats live in sandy, stony deserts and the only species of cat that survive without water for long period of time (couple of months). Unlike other species of cats, sand cat is poor climber and jumper but proficient digger. It digs burrows in the sand where it hides from the harsh desert sun.
Paws covered with thick fur protect the cat's feet from the hot desert sand. This foot cushion also act like snowshoes. They prevent the cat from sinking into the sand and leaving footprints [x].

SOURCE Northeast Group, LLC
WASHINGTON, July 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Electric vehicle (EV) sales have roughly doubled every year for the past three years in the United States. Electric utilities are beginning to do their part to enable EV growth by offering new tariff and rate structures tailored specifically for EV owners. There are currently 25 utilities across 14 states offering EV tariffs, including 8 of the largest 15 utilities. Regulators are also taking action and Minnesota recently became the first state to mandate that electric utilities offer EV tariffs, according to the fourth annual benchmark study published today by Northeast Group, LLC.
"In the currently shifting landscape, utilities are finding it increasingly important to better engage with their customers. A key part of this is new customer offerings such as electric vehicle tariffs," said Ben Gardner, president of Northeast Group. "EV owners tend to be more engaged customers and it is critical that utilities are providing them with new rate options for their EVs."
EV rates typically give steeper discounts at night and during other off-peak hours. Across the 14 states with EV tariffs, the average equivalent "price per gallon" was $0.75. Without EV-specific tariffs, the US Department of Energy calculated that the cost of an "eGallon" was $1.42. The average cost of gasoline in these states was $3.70.
"EV owners are an increasingly important focus for utilities," added Gardner. "On average, they consume more electricity -- not even counting electricity consumed by the EV -- and are more likely to have solar panels installed at their home. EV tariffs that offer overall lower prices while encouraging off-peak charging are a great way to engage these customers." Northeast Group found that 95 of the 100 largest utilities in the US had EV-specific information on their websites for customer engagement purposes.
Utilities that still do not offer special EV rates can make new rate offerings part of broader customer engagement efforts. These broader customer engagement efforts may include social media, mobile apps and new customer offerings.
Northeast Group's benchmark found that in total, over 21 million utility customers across 25 electric utilities in 14 states had access to EV tariffs in the US. This number is set to grow over the coming years as EV sales grow and regulators begin encouraging EV tariffs.

The 12 Days of Cookies: Frosted Sugar Cookies
Frosted sugar cookies are a holiday classic!
Frosted Sugar Cookies
Recipe from Sonja Borchardt, Brandon
3 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Add flour mixture and beat until you have a smooth dough.
Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove half of chilled dough and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Keep turning the dough to make sure it does not stick to the counter. Cut out desired shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter.
Bake cookies for about 10 minutes (depending on size) or until they are brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Frost with butter cream frosting (recipe below).
Makes about 36 4-inch cookies.
Butter cream frosting
2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup buttermilk
In a 5-quart mixer, add the butter and using a paddle attachment, slowly beat in the powdered sugar. Add salt, vanilla and buttermilk and beat until slightly stiff.

In Miami we took on board 4500 passengers, mostly Americans.
The back to back experience was smooth & simple, we went off for the day on a trip & when we returned to the ship, our bags had all been moved for us, for the change of cabin.
We noticed the difference in numbers of passengers on the 2nd day, the decks were very crowded with very little space to move.
Smoking seemed to be allowed all over the ship-we had not noticed this on our Transatlantic section. Parts of the inside of the ship were very unpleasant to walk through due to the smoke, even the very small library was taken over by the passengers using the Bar & smoking was permitted here.
The dining rooms were all full & we ended up in the Garden Cafe rather than waiting for 40 mins. The Garden Cafe was also very full with many families & the staff were working very hard to clear up for the next occupents of the tables.Many children were running around eating "on the hoof " & handling food
& not using the tongs provided.
Pools & hot-tubs were surrounded by bottles & glasses , there appeared to be no supervision by deck staff.
Our last week aboard was not a very relaxing experience. I wrote to NCL but their response was very bland & almost accepting this standard of behavoir as normal for this type of cruise.
We did notice that for in cabin eating , the used dishes remained outside of the cabin for most of the day.
We found the staff most helpful but somewhat overwhelmed when the ship was full.
Both Embarkation & Disembarkation were well organised,but again inside the ship one had to wait to pass through very smokey areas.
We would have no hesitation in doing the Transatlantic again, but would not consider the 1 week cheepie ( for US citizens ) ever again. I think in catering for the masses on ther big ships, NCL are lowering their standards

MERRILL, Wis. (WSAU) - Merrill schools have a new board member, thanks to a special election of the school board this week.

i think that if your useing in game mods that the software company should take action but just cuz your jailbroken doesnt mean sony should not alow you on the psn
There are many ways the devs can prevent hacking on the multiplayer games.
Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Sony is more closed minded than Apple and MS, I try to avoid all Sony products. A company who wants to condemn people for improving there products free of charge, complete ignorance. Jailbreaks for the iDevices have opened up a whole new world for users, and pushed popularity. I wish Sony the absolute worst!!!
Pay us hundreds of dollars so we can tell you how to use it....why sell it in the first place!!!! Someone should remind sony about that democracy thing here in America. I firmly believe lawyers and communism shouldnt mix.
This is all such crap!!! I didn't fight for this country so Japan can take over my PS3, Maybe they should have waited until Dec 7th to drop this news !!!
a. ban your console so it cant access live (ways around that)
b. ban your live account and you have to start from scratch (bye bye gamerscore)
how about no1 buys a ps3 for a year n see how they like it? if they sold 1 ps3 in a year im sure they would let us do stuff cuz they all just want money. thats it. if they got money on the emulators they wud let them on there.
can they tell if u hacked it and then its not anymore? i restored my ps3 back to 3.50 and then upgraded to the newest fw
They got their money why do they give a fu** what we do with it. In Spain court ruled legal for PS3 to be jailbroken as court said if you pay for it its yours and do whatever the fuc** you please.
If Apple did something like that, I will no longer be an iPhone owner.

Then: In 2008, Chris Finberg, a Las Vegas Department of Field Operations employee, developed a preventive maintenance program which aimed to reduce roadway lifecycle costs by 66%. Created to benefit the city's residential streets, the process had just been approved for a test run on more heavily traveled roads.
Now: Finberg's process of treating asphalt with a hydrophobic sand mixture to avert water intrusion is being used citywide. Filling the pavement with this composition restores the surface's original grade, so less material needs to be uprooted for repairs, allowing for faster completion. It's also so simple that any employee can perform repairs. The process is virtually the same as it was when it was introduced in 2008.

AP/MYFOXNY.COM — Twenty-nine bars and restaurants, nearly half of them TGI Fridays, filled premium brand liquor bottles with lower-quality booze and sold it to patrons who thought they were buying the good stuff, authorities said Wednesday.
A yearlong investigation by the state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, dubbed Operation Swill, found that the establishments had swapped out the good liquor in an effort to fool customers and increase profits.
Thirteen of the restaurants cited are TGI Fridays located in central and northern New Jersey.
NJ.com listed the targeted restaurants:
The investigation, the result of citizen complaints, used confidential informants and covertly obtained samples that were tested.
State officials would not say what types of premium brand liquor got swapped out with lower-quality spirits the most. They said inventory was seized and records were sought as part of the probe.
TGI Fridays Inc. said in a statement it was working with the franchisee and owner of the TGI Fridays restaurants to investigate the allegations, which it called serious. The statement said the company had just learned of the allegations.
"We have one of the most extensive bar and beverage programs in the industry, which sets a very high standard in the quality and service of our beverages," the company said.
The TGI Fridays restaurants that were cited are owned by the Livingston-based Briad Group, which says on its website it has 70 TGI Fridays in seven states.
The Briad Group said it opened its first TGI Fridays in New Jersey in 1993. Rick Barbrick, the president and chief operating officer of the Briad Restaurant Group, issued a statement.
"As operators of 16 T.G.I. Friday's restaurants in New Jersey, The Briad Restaurant Group takes great pride in the quality of food and drink we provide our guests. That is why the allegations from the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control are especially troubling and surprising to us," Barbrick said in the statement. "We can assure our loyal and valuable guests that it is our corporate policy to treat all of our patrons honestly and fairly."
Barbrick said the company has launched its own investigation.

Bar fight leads to attempted murder charge
Date: March 18, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
A St. Patrick's Day bar fight nearly turned deadly for a Sarasota County Sheriff's Office deputy.
Deputies were patrolling Gulf Gate Village overnight because of the large St. Patrick's Day bar crowds.
A fight broke out at the Boar's Head Bar around 2 a.m. this morning. The deputies arrived and saw bar employees trying to kick out Nicholas Richetti, 29, because he attacked another customer.
While he was being escorted, Richetti shoved someone to the ground for no apparent reason.
Deputies then began to lead Richetti outside, and that's when 23-year-old Neil Richetti came up from behind Deputy Troy Sasse and got him in a choke hold.
It appeared to the other deputies that Sasse could not breathe, and Neil Richetti dragged Sasse to the ground. Before Sasse lost consciousness, another deputy punched and Tasered Neil Richetti. Nicholas Richetti then joined the fight.
Four deputies and the two Richettis were throwing punches on the ground for several minutes. More Taser fire followed. Finally, both suspects were brought under control. Neil Richetti was charged with attempted murder for his attack on Sasse. Nicholas Richetti was charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer. Two of their friends were arrested for obstruction, because they would not stop demanding to know what had happened and yelled obscenities at the deputies.
None of the deputies and neither of the Richettis were seriously hurt.

Fourteen people gathered on a Friday morning in March for breakfast at the nationally acclaimed Brother Juniper's restaurant near the University of Memphis campus. While it is not unusual for a group to spend time together over a meal, it was apparent on this day that some individuals in the group were either totally blind, visually impaired or disabled in other ways.
"This is our Braille User Support Group, one of our outreach initiatives," said Dr. Lavonnie Perry Clayborn, research assistant professor and director of Mid-South Access Center for Technology, a non-profit assistive technology resource center located in Patterson Hall in room 119 on the U of M campus.
Mid-South ACT is a division of the Center for Rehabilitation and Employment Research (CRER), a member of the Alliance for Technology Access (ATA), and a partner with Advanced Multimedia Devices – a Partnership for Excellence Program. It was founded in 1998 and provides resources for teachers, clinicians, parents with children who have disabilities, and individuals with disabilities.
A 16-year-old boy who had a fight with his parents is "lucky to be alive" after he stowed away in a plane's wheel well and flew from California to Hawaii surviving a lack of oxygen and cold temperatures at 38,000 feet and, the Associated Press reports.
"Doesn't even remember the flight," FBI spokesman Tom Simon in Honolulu told the Associated Press on Sunday night. "It's amazing he survived that."
Simon told AP that security footage from the San Jose airport confirmed that the Santa Clara, Calif., teen climbed a fence to get to Hawaiian Airlines Flight 45 on Sunday morning.

Perusing the selections on a beauty supply isle, Bianca Ward noted that it was the first time she ever had seen a beauty shop inside of a mall.
"I love the idea because people come to the mall to buy clothes, so you can come and get an outfit and get your hair done," said Ward. "I'm here today looking for some hair, accessories and a stylist."
Dozens were in attendance on Friday (April 18th) for the ribbon cutting ceremony at Discount Wigs 3 in the Southland Mall. The Grand Opening for the combination hair salon and beauty supply store followed on Saturday at 9 a.m. in the 12,000 square foot space that once housed Piccadilly Restaurant is the new home. The "3" in Discount Wigs represents the third location, with two other locations at 4685 American Way and 3249 Austin Peay.
When a university failed recently to award Marlon D. Cousin's nephew thousands of dollars in anticipated financial aid, the managing partner of an Atlanta-based recruiting firm was happy to step in and close the financial gap.
In fact, he had set aside a fund for such family emergencies, especially those that pertain to education. And he advises other individuals and families in the process of building wealth to do the same. It's especially important at a time when jobs in the African-American community are sparse and financial needs high.
"I have an emergency investment account that is funded by one of my businesses," said Cousin, managing partner of The Marquin Group. "If something happens, it's there for that. If you prefer to set aside a certain amount for emergencies instead of setting up a fund, you could set aside up to 10 percent of your wealth. But you do need to set parameters. Do you use the money to get your brother out of jail? I don't know. The fund isn't set up for that, but it's really real-life stuff."

MINOT, N.D. (AP) - DNA evidence might be key to solving the mysterious killing of a Minot State University student seven years ago.
Anita Knutson was found stabbed to death in her apartment on June 4, 2007. Investigators were unable to solve the crime and it now is officially classified as a cold case.
But authorities did recover some DNA evidence. Police Lt. Jason Sundbakken says that if the killer should ever get arrested for another crime and have his or her DNA put into a national database, that could be the break investigators need.
Sundbakken also says that with many cold cases, '"it is just a matter of getting lucky with a tip.''

Two days after the bombings at the Boston Marathon, Boston University students Taylor Mortell and Luca De Gaetano were seated in painting class, their first since BU had resumed classes. But nobody painted that morning. "We naturally formed a circle and were trying to talk about it," Mortell says. "Everyone was very shaken up by what had happened. Out of this group discussion, Luca and I had expressed that we wanted to do something to help the community heal."

There are new concerns about the D.C. Police Department's special operations division and the security of its vehicles. A division made up of motorcycles and cruisers that escort the president of the United States and other dignitaries.
FOX 5 has learned the parking lot where they are kept is open to the public with no one guarding the gates.
FOX 5 found the motorcycles and cruisers that typically lead motorcades throughout the city now parked in lot four at RFK Stadium. They were moved there in November after the special operations division relocated from its old headquarters on l Street northwest.
Over the last six days a FOX 5 crew made several visits to the lot and was never challenged.
Including last Sunday where we found people tailgating before the D.C. United soccer game.
There were no D.C. Police officers keeping an eye on the half a dozen motorcycles and a fleet of police cruisers parked in the lot.
In fact, fans of the DC United, who arrived well before the start of the game, set up tents and fired up charcoal grills while their children kicked a ball around the lot.
There was no obvious security.
On three other visits to the lot, including Wednesday, we were never challenged and found every gate open.
For example, reporter Paul Wagner walked through the tunnel connecting lot seven with lot four and headed for the cruisers on the left hand side.
He found several that appeared to be unlocked.
All three gates were open and Wagner wasn't challenged once.
"The fact we have these vehicles unsecured where anyone has access to them is indefensible", said Fraternal Order of Police Chairman Kristopher Baumann, "and I know that there are already concerns coming out about that issue and this again goes to who is making these decisions, why aren't they being held accountable and what's it going to take? Is something awful going to have to happen before this department gets serious about doing its job?"
The special operations division uses its cruisers and motorcycles to not only lead presidential motorcades through the city but they are often used daily to escort foreign dignitaries.
When we asked D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier about the vehicles in the lot she issued a statement which reads in part: No vehicle is considered secure for a POTUS move…all vehicles used on those details are cleared immediately before use. We don't take anything for granted. No different than when we were at l Street.
But on l Street the building had a secure lot with a fence monitored by cameras.
The current S.O.D. commander, Steve Sund, also issued a statement, telling FOX 5: Mpd vehicles are often accessible to the public when they are on assignment, or parked at various locations throughout the city. These vehicles are swept prior to entering locations for security details.
Commander Sund also pointed out the relocation to RFK is temporary until the department finds a permanent place for its headquarters.
Four current and former D.C. Police officials familiar with the Special Operations Division all said the unsecured lot at RFK was a security concern.
We spoke to them on background because of the sensitivity of the issue.
We should also mention, when S.O.D. was at its headquarters on l Street not every vehicle was kept in the secure lot. Some were parked out on the street.

text: Lots of rappers spit about the spoils of their stardom—Bentleys, diamonds, Louis Vuitton luggage. Not many, and maybe none, have taken all that money they've made through record sales and donated it to charity. Except, that is, New York rapper and activist Awkword. His album, World View, featured contributions from artists in 20 countries and benefited Guns 4 Cameras, a nonprofit dedicated to ending street violence. And though his mission is serious, Awkword's got a quicksilver wit that permeates most of his tracks. On the buoyant, reggae-influenced "Stay Spittin', Stay Flowin'" he takes listeners through the chambers of the heart, from the vena cava to the aorta. Then, on "Colors," he turns his attention to the color wheel, rapping "My blood is red, but I stay blue like Barack" over a Motown loop. Only on "Requiem" do you get a sense of Awkword's intensity. "I'm here to lift you up / I can also take you down." Stay on his good side; it's a pretty inspiring place to be.

It's only been three months, but Kimye are already taking a trip away from baby. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West just landed in Paris -- and they didn't bring North with them, even though she has her own passport. And least anyone get the wrong idea about Kim's lack of mommy guilt, worry not. A source tells Us Weekly, "Kim was sad to say goodbye. This is the first time she's been away from the baby." Okay? So yes, Kim ran off to Paris without her newborn baby, but she feels simply awful about it. Why isn't anyone asking how Kanye feels about leaving North?
Kanye has made a few trips away since Nori's birth, but no one seems to care much about that. Kim, on the other hand, seems to be anticipating the JUDGING that will erupt if she travels to another country without her baby. True, Kim and Kanye are missing out on important bonding time with their baby. But this is the first time Kim's been away. She's done loads of bonding already, and has built a strong foundation with North. And I'm sure the baby is in good hands with other adults she's bonded to.
This may even be a smart idea for her and Kanye. They say having a baby is like throwing a bomb into your relationship. This post-baby getaway may have been Kanye's idea -- maybe he wanted just a few days with Kim all to himself (well, in between seeing all the shows at Paris Fashion Week). They'll get to reconnect as a couple, which is wonderful. Maybe it's not what most of us would do so soon after having a baby, but it sounds just right for Kim and Kanye.
When is the soonest you would travel away from your baby -- or would you ever?

When my first son was 1 he started staying the night with his grandparents and great grandparents a few times that year. With my second son he was a month old when I was rushed to the ER and had to stay in the hospital for 6 days! I hated that but I had no choice. Not seeing my children those days was rough.
I agree with all the above comments. She is not mother material.
Seriously Coles_mom?! Sorry but not spending ANY time away from your child can be just as bad. Kids need to have time away from their parents too... Especially a 7 year old!

Telfair Sheriff Chris Steverson says the woman who was found in the Ocmulgee River in Jacksonville, Georgia has been identified and an arrest has been made.

Sheriff Steverson says the Telfair County Sheriff's Office was notified of the body of a woman in the Ocmulgee River around 11 a.m. Thursday. They treated the case as an homicide.
Sheriff Steverson says investigators from the Telfair County Sheriff's Office, the Ben Hill County Sheriff's Office, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation worked around the clock to solve this crime.

Grazie, signore!
Thanx, man! Greatly appreciated! a real honour to be added!
Ha ha, another Matt Berry fan I see
I have a fairly low tolerance for sweet smells as well, they tend to give me headaches very easily. I might stay clear of this one then. I like vanilla in small doses, but a sweet vanilla bomb sounds like a headache inducer.
Sounds like my thing! Whered you buy it?
How was RMW? I was also considering that one, as a few basenoters have said that it is fairly good.
Saw that you recently purchased a bottle of DS2 Silver Wind Wood. Thought I'd ask: What do you think about it? I was thinking about picking a bottle blind.

The bow-tied one, Mason Treadwell, stops by to see Emily to float a theory that she and Amanda were lovers back in their juvenile detention days. He believes he has a future best-seller in this tawdry tale of two vengeance-seeking blondes who tried to take down the Graysons. It does sound like good read. Amanda wants to take care of Mason "her way." Emily convinces her to simply threaten him with a restraining order. She's also trying to process the newsflash that Amanda is now engaged to Jack.
There's an investors meeting taking place at Grayson Manor. Emily wants Aiden there to help position Daniel to take over the company. She also believes a member of the Initiative will be in attendance. Nolan gives Aiden the check that proves David Clarke invested in NolCorp while he was with Grayson Global. This could mean the end of everything he created. It's worth it if it will protect Emily. Nolan lets Aiden know that if he ever hurts his revenge-y friend again, he'll pay dearly. He later finds solace in the fact that Padma will stick with him no matter what.

diy nursery closet organizers

Love these closet organizers. Will have to remember this for my next one. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Totally totally cute!! Looks like you have a baby store right at home! :DReplyDelete

What a nice and simple way to organize all the baby clothes my daughter-in-law will be receiving as gifts (their first baby is due the end of May). I'm going to make these for her. Thanks for sharing. :-)
This is a fabulous idea - and so cute too!!!ReplyDelete
And I want to start buying baby things too...and I'm not even thinking of getting pregnant quite yet! lol
Brie @ Breezy Pink Daisies
I like that you made them out of cardboard/paper. I was just thinking of how I could track down some kind of wooden thing to make this out of, but this is much much better and achievable with things i have on hand.ReplyDelete
While I admire DIYers I often don't do it myself. I'm like Sandra Lee from Semi-Homemade. I can stretch myself to do a little DIY, but not the whole building works. That's why I love you're idea so much. It's simple! For people like me I might even become adventurous and I can actually say I'm a DIYer. Though the cost of closet dividers for baby clothes is not that much, this is a great alternative if you realize that you have two much of one size and need to break it down from 6-12 months to 6-9, 10-12, and 12-1T. The premade closet dividers don't always allow you that kind of flexibility.ReplyDelete
I love reading your comments! Thank you for taking the time to respond and I look forward to hearing what you have to say!

Law plays a critical role in compelling a standard of decency and fair play in business. Witness, for example, the importance of federal statutes and regulations on the environment, fair labor practices and fair advertising practices, as well as state laws on product liability. It's imperative that the law develops and changes, based on the hard lessons of experience. We have seen and will continue to see such adjustments. Exactly what modifications should be made to banking and securities laws is a matter of great current debate.
But there are some matters that the law is not well-suited to address. For example, would it be advisable for the law to play an expanded role in setting "fair" compensation across the pay scale, or at least at the high end? Some have advocated efforts in that direction. And perhaps there's moral appeal to such efforts. But what entity or individual is better situated than the market to determine suitable, fair salaries? A bureaucrat or review board in Washington? Or in the state capitol? Even if such "fair salaries" for all could be mandated, would we want that additional layer of bureaucracy? A move further away from the concept of free enterprise? What would be the unintended consequences of such regulation?
While I would argue against further legal mandates on pay, I recognize the moral aspects of pay (and other) business decisions. I frequently remind my Business Law students that compliance with the law may not be enough. They should consider the ethics of their business decisions.
Mendoza College students are not left to make ethical decisions in a vacuum. MBA students take a two-credit required course in Foundations of Ethical Business Conduct. Undergraduates take required courses in business ethics, philosophy, and theology. In the introductory Business Law course this academic year, undergraduate students are reading portions of Pope Benedict XVI's latest encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, which speaks to the moral responsibilities of businesspeople.
In that encyclical, Benedict writes particularly of companies' obligations to their workers and other stakeholders. He notes more generally:
The Church's social doctrine has always maintained that justice must be applied to every phase of economic activity, because this is always concerned with man and his needs. Locating resources, financing, production, consumption and all the other phases in the economic cycle inevitably have moral implications. Thus every economic decision has a moral consequence.

When it comes to holiday gifts, you don't have to blow your budget to wow your children. Here's some proven advice.
This post comes from Michael Koretzky at partner site Money Talks News.
Who better than a financial planner for doling out advice on how not to spend money this holiday season?
The Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards has released its strategies (.pdf file) for "making a child happy this holiday season." And all of them are frugal.
"Even with a sour economy, many parents will continue to agonize over finding their child just the right present, whatever the cost in time and money," the board says. Here are their tips:
Too often people are willing to go into debt or at least overbuy to satisfy someone else's idea of the perfect holiday.
This post comes from Donna Freedman of MSN Money.
An old friend of mine -- call him "Frugalbert Humperdinck" -- once riffed on the song "A Man Without Love." Unfamiliar with that late 1960s hit? Sit patiently through a video of Engelbert Humperdinck singing the first verse in order to get to the chorus that's about to be parodied:
Christmas bills are scare-ful,
But one can be careful.
Lovely is a man without loans.
Should you feel any shame in giving used designer handbags to your nieces for Christmas?
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
The holiday season can test a frugal person's patience: There are so many temptations to spend. Sure, we all want to enjoy the festive nature of this time of year, but where do you draw the line? And how fugal is too frugal?
Michelle wrote with a terrific question. She has the sort of dilemma I can picture myself facing. Here's her story:
Like you, I am a big proponent of thrift store shopping. It saves money, and it's just more fun than going to the mall -- at least for me. Because I live in the New York City area, I'm fortunate in that many of the area thrift stores are filled with fantastic stuff, including designer and name-brand quality clothes, many of which are barely worn.
On a recent thrift store trip, I picked up two designer handbags as Christmas gifts for my college-aged nieces, but now I'm having second thoughts.
On the one hand, there's no way they would ever really acquire Coach and Kate Spade handbags on their own. On the other hand, I don't know if they share my acceptance and love for thrifting, and they may not react well to the thought of being gifted someone else's castoffs.
A survey shows that will be the average monthly income from what Americans in their 50s are saving for retirement.
This post comes from Fred Yager at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
It seems as if every financial services company in the world conducts its own retirement survey and each one is more depressing than the last.
The most recent one comes from Wells Fargo, which says that most Americans in their 50s should be prepared to live on $190 a month, because that's all the personal saving they'll have to look forward to.
- Calculator:Are you saving enough?
Now, granted, the survey didn't take into consideration Social Security or possible pensions, which are becoming extremely rare these days.
But the point is clear: Wake up or be prepared to spend your retirement years living in a van down by the river, as the late great comedian Chris Farley used to say.
When you pick the food up yourself, do restaurant workers act as if you're still supposed to tip?
This guest post comes from J. Money atBudgets are Sexy.
How much do you tip for takeout when you pick food up at a restaurant?
We talked a lot about holiday tipping the other week, but I think this question is much more interesting because it affects each and every one of us -- or at least the ones who enjoy splurging on takeout every now and then.
I've heard pros and cons to both sides here, so I'm kind of curious to see what you all think.
Here's the comment that prompted this post (thanks, Linda):
What about tipping for takeout? They seem like they want the full 20% and get angry if they don't get it. How do other people handle this?
Shoppers report longer waits for ordered gifts. How to make sure yours arrive on time.
This Deal of the Daycomes fromKelli B. Grantat partner site SmartMoney.
Every night of Hanukkah, Barbara Adler gave one gift to each of her three sons. Until the last night of the eight-day holiday, when she presented an electronic puzzle game to the trio, "for all of us."
The other gifts, ordered from Amazon.com affiliates, hadn't arrived at their Roslyn, N.Y., home -- even though she'd ordered them some 11 days before.
No one keeps track of real-time complaints like these, but anecdotal evidence suggests that plenty of shoppers are still waiting on holiday gift orders placed weeks ago.
Restaurants are giving bonuses with gift cards, plus coupons for subs, bagels, soup and a deal on pizza.
This seems to be the year for days of deals, as in "The 12 Days of Christmas."
Starbucks' "12 Days of Sharing" ends Saturday, but the "12 Days of Whataburger" goes on through Dec. 22, since it happens only every other day.
Now Chili's has joined the movement, with "Holidaily Specials" through Dec. 24. The special changes every day, but you can see the whole schedule now. This coupon will give you free chips and queso through Dec. 23.
Many restaurants are offering specials on gift cards this year, with the most likely bonus being a free smaller gift card. Miami FL on the Cheap has a list of restaurant gift card bonuses and freebies.
A lot of folks unwittingly -- and repeatedly -- make misguided money decisions based upon well-intentioned beliefs.
This guest post comes from Len Penzo at Len Penzo dot Com.
The other day I was at the gas station and I observed a soccer mom topping off the tank of her bright yellow Hummer.
Thunk. Thunk, thunk, thunk. Thunk. Thunk, thunk. Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk.
Oh, brother.
Maybe I am being a bit snooty, but I find that kind of behavior extremely annoying, not to mention just a wee bit ignorant. Don't you?

New Coach training will begin in April and you do not want to miss out!
