FORT WAYNE — A woman who escaped from DeKalb County sheriff's deputies Wednesday was found nearly five hours later on Fort Wayne's north side, police said.
Shelby C. Riedel, 21, escaped from officers about 2:30 p.m. while being escorted back to the DeKalb County Jail, the sheriff's department said.
Riedel was being held at the DeKalb jail on two felony charges of possession of a controlled substance, according to court documents.
On Wednesday afternoon, Riedel was walking with several other inmates when she slipped from her handcuffs and ran around the corner of the jail, the sheriff's department said.
Departmental procedures for transporting inmates back and forth from court were not followed, the sheriff's department said.
Riedel fled west on 9th Street toward Main Street in Auburn and was picked up and taken to a motel in Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne police responded to the motel, but Riedel could not be found, according to the sheriff's department.
Police began to track a cellphone that Riedel was believed to be using and later discovered in a vehicle on Sherman Boulevard. She was found near Foellinger Theatre and was taken into custody about 7:35 p.m., according to John Chambers, a Fort Wayne police spokesman.
The DeKalb County Sheriff's Department said it will continue to investigate the matter, including why the departmental procedures were not followed.

Gallery: Graft Lab's Vertical Village in Dubai Has Spider Web of Solar ...
At first glance, Graft Lab's dazzling complex in Dubai may appear to have a cluster of sparkling geometric pools at its base. But upon further inspection, the web-like structures are actually something even more desirable than a place to take a dip in the hot desert – a means of collecting the scorching rays of the sun and transforming them into energy. Dubbed the Vertical Village, this multi-use building and accompanying massive array of solar collectors was designed to work smarter, not harder, which is expected to earn it a LEED Gold certification when it is completed.
The architects at Graft Lab (also responsible for the unique and ethereal Bird Island) must have been taking good notes in their LEED classes because the Vertical Village incorporates the most basic mantras of energy-efficiency in hot climates: reducing solar gain and maximizing solar production. Each hockey-stick-shaped building within the village is self-shading on its north side and on the east-west axis to reduce long-angle sun penetration. A massive bed of solar collectors lies at the south end of the complex and has the ability to automatically position itself toward the sun to maximize solar-energy aggregation. The roof of the village has veins like a leaf which can break up the solar field into smaller, more manageable portions.
Aside from its energy-harvesting features, the Vertical Village is also quite breathtaking to behold. The way that the buildings have been sliced and tilted gives each one a unique, futuristic look. Residents and visitors will be able to take full advantage of hotels, cinemas, restaurants, shops and a theater.

Ha ha ha love the way the artist's impression makes it look lush when really all the green bits are dust and sand and trucks and men in blue boilersuits.
But seriously, there's definitely scope for more of this in Dubai. Well done Graft Lab for actually doing it. Here's hoping it sees completion.
If only they were allowed to be more creative with the name. Problem is everything's called Something Village or Something City or Something Tower here. Gets a little tedious after a while.

It's good to see architecture that incorporates solar panels as part of the design, not some attached after thought.

There was a busy intersection, Ducatur at Cafe Envie. People were everywhere and the mood was festive. As an ambulance blared its sirens coming from the French Market, a car was struggling to get of the way, but you wouldn't have it. You brazenly parked your wheelchair in the middle of the only available route for anyone to move out from in front of the ambulance. You spun around, yelling at everyone. . . were you drunk? Are you just mentally challenged? Were you high? Either way, I'm into you. As you kept yelling, the car kept honking for you to move, but you didn't. The ambulance amped up it's siren full blast at the car in front of it, while that driver laid on their horn trying to get you to move. Again, you blocking all traffic, laughing, yelling, spinning around in your wheelchair. Ambulance wailing, horn blaring, patient dying. Thirty seconds went by and I was about to jump out of my panties and take you in the midst of all that chaos. . . you know it is a fantasy of mine, don't you? Everyone was watching you, just waiting to see what would happen. I would kill to have f**ked you while everyone watched, and the poor soul in that ambulance inched closer to death with every wail, blare and spin. Eventually another lane opened up, after about a minute passed by, and the car and ambulance sped off. You yelled at them as they went by. How dare they ask you to move?! That is the kind of attitude I want my man to have in bed. Or in the middle of the street. Tell me how many legs you were missing and what year you got back from 'Nam. I have to go masturbate now.

R. Martin's series Game of Thrones (both the books and the show). I have recently purchased a replica of the Iron Throne as seen in the television show, and need a partner to play out an elaborate fanatsy.
 In my fantasy, I am Daenerys Stormborn Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, and Rightful Heir to the Iron Throne and the Seven Kingdoms. After crossing the Narrow Sea and defeating the forces of Westeros, it is within my power and right to slay all of those who betrayed my family and denied me my rightful place for so many years. The most vile enemies of house Targaryen, House Stark and House Baratheon must pay the highest price. All of those who fought against the Mother of Dragons are slain - all except one. When I come to Robb Stark, out eyes lock and something moves inside of me. I realize I need to have him, want him, and I can tell he is thinking the same. I order my guards to throw him in the dungeon and later that night, I have him brought to me, in the throne room. There, on the Iron Throne I've so recently won, I make wild and passionate love with him, repeatedly.
 Please only respond to this post if you look like Robb Stark! I would appreciate pictures, but please, no names. In order to stay as true to the fantasy as possible, I ONLY want you to refer to yourself as Robb Stark. You will need to provide your own clothing. Please keep in mind that you will have recently participated in a battle and been thrown in a dungeon, so you will not be wearing your nicest furs.
 I'm looking for a Stark in the streets but a wildling in the sheets.

Perfect for the aspiring culture creator. I have recently become a Successful Entrepreneur and I no longer have the need for such trifling possessions. I drive a gigantic cargo van that literally pisses gas onto the road to mark its territory.

 Do you want to be noticed? Do you want to stand out from the crowd? Sleeve tattoo didn't do the trick? Dubstep bounce remix didn't go viral? Look no further than this bike. Don't even look past it in the pictures posted below. Import it into Photoshop and delete the background. I know you know how to do it, because you're a graphic designer.

 Orange body. Green accents. Pink handlebar wrap. Some silver. Black. Dirt. Are there even any more colors? There are awesome reflective stickers on the bike, too, which makes darting out in front of automobiles on dark evenings and asserting one's absolute and total right of way even more self-righteously awesome. Dear motorist: Did you not see the stickers. Do you think I have time to just put stickers on things. I'm trying to save the world from people like you.

 Just think of all the great places you could see and be seen on this bike:

 1. An Obama rally
 2. A Ron Paul rally
 3. Rally's
 4. Miscellaneous

 The possibilities are endless.

 This bike will get you laid. If you ride this bike around Audobon Park at 1 in the morning without pants on, dudes will literally knock you off of your bike to try to blow you.

 This bike is a freewheel fixed gear, because you're a fucking monster and you have one speed, and that speed is +/- 15mph.

 A seat comes with the bike, but is not pictured. If you want, you can ride the bike without the seat to simulate the stick you have up your ass about which Pavement album is best, which political cause that matters to you most intermittently, or about whatever it is that you "do."

 SAFETY FEATURES

 This bike is Japanese and comes with four distinct safety features:

 Safety Feature #1: front brakes only. Because you're not about to conform to anyone's preconceived notions of how a bike should stop.

 Safety Feature #2: Quick release back wheel. I took this bike to Mike the Bike Guy on Magazine to get a tune up once, and he refused to work on it because of this Safety Feature. He said it was a "Frankenstein bike." I asked him if he didn't agree that Frankenstein was a literary masterpiece. I thought that after losing that argument he might be a gentleman and agree to tune up the bike for free, but he remained all pissy and still refused to work on it, even for money.

 The next time I went in to Mike the Bike Guy on Magazine was to get air. I was all, hey MTBG, can I get some air? He was all yes. It was clear that we both believed that air is a free resource that should not be commodified. Common ground. He pointed me toward his air machine. Everything seemed cool. When I realized that the nozzle didn't fit my bike's tires, I was all, hey MTBG, how does this nozzle go on? He looked at me, turned around, took two steps toward the back of the room, and let out a loud SIGH. I couldn't blame him. I work with people too, and sometimes they ask me questions because they don't know things and I am the paid expert on the exact things they don't know and I am standing right next to them, and I have to humiliate them in front of others before I answer them, too. It's all just part of the job.

 Safety Feature #3: Helmet. That's my helmet. You can ride in a painter's cap and pretend to be smart at the same time, but you're not fooling anyone.

 Safety Feature #4: Welding fix at seat joint. When this joint came loose, the bike was deemed horribly unsafe. When I welded it back together, it became safe again, therefore: safety feature. It's supersturdy now; I welded it to fuck and back. I painted the welding joint green because I was feeling creative and I don't have to explain my art to anyone.

 Safety Feature #5: Apparently this bike has really nice rims. I am listing this under Safety Features because I feel that less-nice rims would probably make the bike marginally less safe.

 Safety Feature $6: Earthquake proof.

 $180 or best offer. Cash is fine. Your parents can PayPal me directly. Or see below:

 I'm totally into creative trades (this part is actually serious). Musical instruments (serious - esp synths and pedals); original art (serious); US Currency (for srsly); leisure suits (I'm 6'1'', 180, with long arms and broad shoulders. Let's stick with dark colors - I'm kind of pale and I don't like to look washed out); real estate/underwater mortgages (4realz dogg); antique firearms (I promise I won't trade you the bike and then shoot you with what was previously your firearm in order to steal my bike back and sell it again, although wouldn't that be ironic, or would it, I don't know, we use the word incorrectly so often that I'm not sure it matters); casual sex. Show me what you got.

As implied, I enjoy the perks of jogging at Audubon, and one of those is a bit of ogling on the sly. It helps me forget that it's been too long since I was jogging regularly, and I usually wear sunglasses to keep my baser proclivities to myself. You are stacked, I like redheads, my sunglasses were missing...you see where this is going. Anyway, I must congratulate you on getting your young companion to to run completely concealed behind you, only to emerge at what was, for me, the worst possible time. Do you practice that? It must be the best ogle-stopper in the business. I swear, when she popped out from behind you, my libido panicked and imploded in about a nanosecond, and it took effort not to loose a cry of "Dirty pool!" Well played, MILF.

 Anyway, I am sorry if the young lady was hit with creep-shrapnel. That really isn't my thing. I apologize if my perusing of your goods was offensive, too. See you around?

 I'm looking for someone who will allow me to "act out" in public and can react appropriately. I'm tired of dating boring, tepid, insipid politically correct women. I want a liberal woman in the most true sense; not your messenger bag carrying, bike riding, garden variety gender-defender. Can you call someone a cunt in a public place without changing your tone and use the word to refer to your vagina in the same sentence? Do you agree with the opinion that women are terrible drivers, bad actors, and even worse musicians? Would you enjoy getting fucked by a man in a diaper? If so,

 On our first date, you will walk me on one of those child-leashes while I wear a helmet and do my best to stumble into every bypasser at the mall. I will at some point throw myself to the ground and slam my head repeatedly into the hard surface while screaming "NO TOUCH ME DERE, SISTER!" over and over. You will smile nervously at the mall patrons and assure them that "It will be over soon; he tires easily."

 After that, we will go and get ice cream. When asked which flavor I want, I will demand the ice cream attendant give me "all the ice creams". You will discipline me and tell me I can have only one flavor. At this time I will throw another violent tantrum until you bargain with me and I get two, three, or maybe four (this is up to you, since you'll be paying and rewarding me based on my performance).

 When we have our ice cream, I will eat it sloppily and smear it into your hair while giggling (ice cream is every retards favorite thing, you know). You will get up to grab napkins and I will quickly take the remainder of your ice cream and throw it across the food court or while you clean me up, I will shove it down your blouse.

 We will go to the video game store where you will "turn me loose" and pretend to talk on your phone absent mindedly outside of the store. I will harass the employees and ask them "OH! Can I have disth game?!" around a hundred times, once for each different game I see behind the counter. "Dat one" I will say as they try in vain to determine which product I am pointing out while staring at the ceiling or floor.

 Ten minutes or so should be enough time for me. You will then come collect me, awkwardly apologize, and we will leave the store for the womens restroom where you will proceed to change my diaper in front of the changing station. I will get hard and you tell me "Bad boy, bad boy" while slapping my penis. If anyone says anything, you will tell them you "have to slap it because it's the only way to make it go away" or "this is the only way I can teach him a lesson."

 When we leave the mall, we can go back to my place and continue roleplaying. You can teach me where babies come from and then we will practice making them in front of my video camera; the recording of which you will not get a copy. Condoms make my penis burn, so please be STD free.

 Criteria:

 1. Stay in character at all times. I will not leave character at any point and if you do, I will react aggressively. I'm a pretty big guy. Don't piss me off.
 2. You must wear a very sexy outfit. A short skirt and a low-cut top. I want to see your ass cheeks and titties hanging out. Tease your hair and wear some perfume. Also, do not wear underwear. A video game character costume is a plus.
 3. If I happen to improvise a passing out spell during a tantrum, when you're leaning over me pretending to revive me or whatever, I will be aiming to pop a boner. Once you feel it prodding, you will do your best to hide it nonchalantly while pretending not to notice. This is very important and I will expect your best performance to come of this because I will suddenly spring up, grab you, and begin to hump you. You will react as if this was a normal thing and tell onlookers "Just give him a minute, he finishes fast."

 You are free to improvise your own dialog, but if it's stupid or it becomes obvious that you are pretending, I will loudcap you with retard yelps to distract from your ineptness. If all goes well, maybe we could meet up for a 2nd date. Maybe more.

They have been properly maintained in air conditioned and lighting controlled conditions. They should be ok for use but to be on the safe side I would not use them for sexual purposes.

Whoever commits the crime of simple burglary shall be fined not more than two thousand dollars, imprisoned with or without hard labor for not more than twelve years, or both."

 Let's see:

 Unauthorized entry: Check. (My car having windows--as opposed to being made of one solid chunk of titanium-- does not constitute my permission to break one of them when I am out of town, reach in, unlock the door, and enter.)

 Of any dwelling, vehicle or watercraft: Check. (Last I checked, Hondas are considered vehicles.)

 With specific intent to commit a felony or any theft therein: Check (I can't read your mind seeing as I do not know you, but I can surmise from the missing radio and first generation iPod mini that you intended to steal them when you entered. Of course, maybe you just wanted to come in to look through the stack of magazines in the backseat and when you didn't like the articles you decided to take the radio and iPod...who knows.)

 So with all these elements met, I think it's safe to assume that you, whoever you are, did in fact commit a simple burglary when you entered my car and stole my radio and first generation iPod mini. The punishment: up to 12 years in jail--potentially at hard labor!--and/or a 2,000 dollar fine.

 So really my question to you, my dear felon, is WHAT could possibly have compelled you to risk such a severe punishment for a radio and iPod that collectively aren't worth more than 60 bucks at a pawn shop or on Ebay? Seriously, what was the overarching NEED that spurred you to take such a risk? Do you have children at home who are starving? In that case--although I wish you would just get a job-- I am not that upset with you. I can get a new radio. And theoretically, you could get new kids if the first ones croak--but no one wants that. So if my radio and iPod went towards gummy bears or DiGiorno pizza or other foodstuffs for your kids, I sort of understand. But somehow, although I don't know you, I doubt it.

 So what else? Hmm...did you possibly steal my stuff because you needed to score some drugs? Not to stereotype you, of course, but you see--normal people don't go running around committing simple burglaries so I figure maybe the clutches of addiction were so strong that you HAD to break in and steal my radio and iPod. In that case, I pity you. And I hope you can get the help you need. Because all too often people who turn to crime to pay for a drug habit end up clogging up the American prison systems, hurting their families, and adding to the culture of fear and violence in urban areas. I also realize, if you were stealing to score drugs, that your life is probably really hard and that you would never have turned to drugs in the first place if things had gone your way. But all that being said....it kind of pisses me off to know that while I am driving around listening to silence and smelling the swampy smell of rain that came through the broken window in my car while I was out of town, that you are running around in a blissful state of meth induced psychosis. And truthfully, while I know that the monetary value of the items you took is not very much, I really liked my radio and iPod. It made me smile when during my commute a really good song would come on. And to think that the 10 years of pleasure the radio has given me and 5 years of pleasure the iPod has given me are all gone just for, what, 5 scores of street drugs (sorry, I don't know what crack or meth go for these days) really ticks me off. So, my dear felon, just for the record, if you stole my stuff for drugs, I am kind of pissed at you. But I understand that your life probably sucks so I feel bad for you too.

 What else could it be? Perhaps you're just some kid who was trying to show off for your friends. In that case, I am extremely angry with you. You have no excuse for your behavior. I can understand being compelled by extreme need or extreme addiction, but stealing to show off just makes you a coward and a loser. Might I suggest putting your energies into preparing for college? Statistically, you'll be less likely to need to steal car radios and iPods with the increased earning potential you'll have with a college degree. If you go to www.fafsa.gov you can learn all about how to apply for student loans and pay them back. I am sure that if you spent half the time studying that you do burglarizing that you'll be quite adept at the materials on the college entrance exams. May I also suggest extra-curricular activities? Then maybe you can meet some new friends who don't think its funny or cool to commit felonies.

 That's all I've got really. I can't think of anything other than necessity, addiction, or just being a plain old dickwad that would cause someone to risk 12 years of jail for 60 bucks worth of old electronics. I don't have an awesome conclusion to this or anything. I just wanted to get it off my chest. And also, if anyone reading this has been considering or has already committed acts of burglary, maybe now that they know how high the consequences are they will think twice. That would make this city a lot better for all of us.

Pics are helpful, and also, dude, this is used furniture... http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nor/991047696.html First, pics are important. How can I possibly imagine your lovely, dated, farted upon furniture in my home without a pic. Please don't think that the "Pics are available" sentence in your ad is adequate. It is not. Far from it. If you do not know how to post pics in your ad, ask someone to help you.

 Second, it is used furniture, being sold in a recession. Sellers, take the time to assess the price of a new couch/loveseat/recliner/table/etc. from Rooms to Go. Is the new furniture selling for a price similar to what you are asking? If so, most customers will choose new, trendy, fashionable furniture over your old, used, drooled upon, spilled on, soiled 1990's aztec/floral/geometric/wood-grain like furniture.

 I can hear a lot of you screaming, "But my furniture is from Ashley...so therefore it is worth more than crappy, new rooms to go furniture."

 Ha! Do you know the cost of re-upholstery. It is prohibitively expensive unless we are dealing with antiques. 80's and 90's furniture does not count. 70's doesn't either, because we all know that "retro" really just means "old".

 Also, people that are in the market for used furniture from craigslist are typically looking for cost-effective alternatives to sitting on the floor or eating on the kitchen counter, or sleeping on a therma-rest. We don't care what YOU paid for it 15 years ago, nor do we care what you think 15 year old ashley furniture ought to be worth. We care about what we can afford. And if we wanted to spend $800 on a couch, we would go to rooms to go, and have their delivery people bring it to our house. This is an important point, since none of you are able to deliver.

 Please take the time to evaluate the reasons that your used furniture is not selling. Why do you have to re-post the ad soooo many times? Do you have pics? Is your old, gross, furniture appropriately priced for the market? Is your recently bought, can't afford the debt furniture reasonably priced?

 Seriously, gimme a break!

Pics are helpful, and also, dude, this is used furniture... text "Scary" Gutter Punk on Bourbon Street Circa 8 PM Last Night - m4m http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nor/962777737.html So I was wandering around the French Quarter last night and I found myself on Bourbon Street in search of hot cock. (Just kidding…or am I?! I am!) Knowing I would have to momentarily make a sharp right to reach my destination, I crossed the street. Further up the block, I noted a gutter punk across the street walking with a bicycle. He was talking to himself. Actually, he was talking at me (note I said "at" and not "to"). He was saying something like, "Go ahead and cross the street," implying that I had crossed the street to avoid him. I think he may have called me a pussy. This is not the first time something like this has happened to me in the French Quarter; I dimly recall a gutter punk yelling "boo" at me when I refused to meet his gaze one night (I'm sorry, I tend not to make eye contact with dirtbags who want me to give them the money that my parents worked so hard to make!). Granted, I may look, dress and act like a square, but I'd like to make it perfectly clear that your shitty tattoos, filthy Misfits "Fiend Club" t-shirt and white guy dreads don't threaten me in any way. (I personally think the Misfits suck and I will confess now to preferring Danzig's first two solo records to anything he did with his NJ cohorts…blasphemy, I know!) I realize you think you're exceptionally bad-ass for raging against the machine by choosing not to bathe regularly and panhandling strangers despite being a middle class cracker-ass-cracker, but I assure you that no one is impressed with or shocked by your behavior. Also, it's annoying when you play your raggedy acoustic guitar or accordion on the sidewalk—please stop doing that. Do the world a favor and take a hot shot at your earliest convenience.

 I'm sure some of you cynics out there are thinking gutter punks don't have access to the Internet and thus the guy in question probably won't read this post…au contraire! (That's French!) Those idiots may pretend to be impoverished outsiders, but I bet you my milk money that they all have laptops and a burning desire to surf CL.

 You have gotten on my last nerve. Seriously, cut the fucking apron strings already. Stop "dropping by' 5-7 fucking times a week. Call first. If your 'baby' doesn't answer, don't come by, just to see if we're home and not answering. I mean, who fucking does that? And if he doesn't answer, don't call my phone looking for him, then my son's cell phone, then leave some fucking smart ass message on the answering machine that you have called every number we have and NO ONE is answering!!! And then you start all over with calling him, then me,etc...within 3 minutes of leaving that fucking message!! And quit just walking into my house when you get there. Ever heard of knocking? I swear, one of these days, we're not going to see you walking up the driveway and have enough time to scramble and get our clothes back on and you are going to catch your son's big dick in my mouth. How am I supposed to look at you across the table on holidays knowing you saw me doing that? Oh and i KNOW his old loser girlfriends before me didn't mind your incessant calling, dropping by and butting in--you've told me enough times-- but his wife DOES!! We have jobs and kids and lives that don't revolve around you and you trying to stick your nose into every aspect of our lives -from what movie you think is 'appropriate" for your 14 year old grandkid to watch, to where we go out at on the weekends. Nothing and I mean NOTHING we do is any of your fucking business. If I hear you say one more fucking time "OH! I don't think that's right!!", regarding some decision we've made when discipling our kids, I swear i will take my frying pan and crack it over your fucking ignorant head. Did I ask for your opinion?? Nope, sure didn't and I never will. Oh and p.s....Do you see MY mother 'stopping by' at my house every fucking day of the week? No? That's right, we weren't raised that way. We were taught to CALL first, to see if the person is even interested in having company. I would never dream of stopping at someone's house at 10:00 at night to 'visit' for an hour, when I know my precious son and his wife both get up at 4am for work, 5 days a week. Totally unacceptable behavior. You have really gotten on my last fucking nerve and I really can't stand you. When I hear my husband mention your name I fucking cringe. We could have had a decent relationship, but you have messed all that up with your continuous fucking PRESENCE!! Not to mention the fact that all you do is bitch and complain about how we live our lives and raise our kids. Nobody fucking asked you. And NO I am NOT cooking something for Sunday dinner, so quit dropping by at dinner time to see for yourself if I really didn't cook something for your precious baby. I DIDN'T. I HAVE A FUCKING LIFE. I have a 4 year old and a 14 year old and a job in another city that I commute to more than 40 hours a week. I'm not cooking every night and every fucking Sunday for your precious baby. Cook it your damn self and invite us over for a change. And also, quit TAKING A SHIT at my house every single time you stop by. That grosses me out completely. You know damn well you live exactly three minutes down the road (which is a big part of the problem), so go shit at your own house, nasty! I've just had enough.

 Love,

 ...I am SO over you!!!....

Me: short long haired vixen mom seeking "international celebrity best friend". I saw you in the French Quarter. We made eye contact. Coffee?

 Angelina. I want to be your best friend. I know we can make it work. You would love me. I am really funny. I can totally pretend that I don't care that you are famous. We can laugh together, get pedicures, talk about our kids sleep issues, brush each others hair, have pillow fights. All of the things that friends do! Almost all of my friends have kids now, so you have a built in play group. One time one of the kids accidentally ate a pot brownie, but other than that we have a pretty good track record.

 Brad would really like my husband and I am sure the kids would get along. And just for the record, Brad is not on my "celebrities I can sleep with even though I'm married" list. So, you totally don't have to worry. If he were Andy Garcia, we might have a problem.

 Let me know when you are free. Tuesdays are best for me.

The last SYACF was shipped off to her aunt's home in Deleware at approximately 8:30 AM EST yesterday.

 Speaking to the press from beneath a paper mountain of offers for "relocation help" from middle-aged, middle class, overweight, balding, sexually disenfranchised men from all across North America, Governer's Office staff member Dale Michael LeBeaux offered the following statement:

 "They're all gone, guys, I'm sorry. There are no more devestated and starving near-naked young vixens with large breasts left to be rescued. Every last SYACF has headed to the home of relatives or is enjoying a stay on a plush Yankee college campus while our city gets it's pants back up, and none of them have expressed interest in providing sexual favors to pot-bellied internet strangers in exchange for 'relocation and a fresh start' in Secaucus, NJ or Backofbeyond, Montana."

 "We tried," said LeBeaux. "We printed out all the offers and taped them on the walls of the Superdome various temporary shelters across three states so the gals without internet access could see them. It worked out for everyone. The young ladies got plenty of stress-relieving laughs out of it, and thanks to the generous donation of the print-outs from a Texas Kinko's Copy Center, we were darn glad to have them around when the toilet paper ran out."

 When asked if a fresh supply of nubile blond co-eds teetering on the brink of death might become available, the answer didn't offer much promise. "Half the city is water-free again," stated LeBeaux, "and some of the girls have already come back."

 Also no longer in supply are attractive MILFs with one attractive young child, displaced cheerleaders, or breast-enhanced strippers seeking a simbiotic relationship and a housecleaning job in suburban Boise.

What, exactly, were they supposed to do? They weren't even allowed to get out of those Concentration Camp lines to defecate and were forced to shit where they stood. WHAT WERE THEY SUPPOSED TO DO?!?

 I am so sick of "Nigger this" and "Wlfare mother that". For every crackhead that was in the 'Dome robbing people there were 50 good families who were just trying to get by. One little girl was raped and murdered and the perpetrator was beaten to death. That sounds like justice to me, more than she would have gotton if it were left up to courts.

 New Orleans fucked up evacuating the prisoners and a slew of rapists and murderers escaped, many to The Superdome. The people trapped there did the best they could, circling the wagons at night and attempting to protect themselves and others.

 For every chicken head that threw trash there were 20 people trying to clean up until they got so weak and dehydrated that all they could do was sit and wait. And pray. I didn't hear complaining. I heard begging. And you would beg,too if you were forsaken by your community and government and left to die.

 For every looter there were 5 BLACK people going in and out of houses and rescuing people. Maybe if the fucking store opened up and gave them some god damn water they wouldn't have had to break into stores. Why were 'looters' being shot at for stealing socks to put on thier raw, water logged feet?

 Maybe if FEMA had done something besides wave thier guns at children & allowed The Red Cross and even Wal-Mart in with some fucking water they wouldn't have been forced to loot.

 For every person who exploited and preyed on the weak there were 10 people protecting them and none of those protectors were the civil servants thier tax money (and mine) paid for. NEWSFLASH, motherfuckers. Not every poor person is on Welfare ,or have you never noticed who it is that's waiting on you at McDonald's or cleaning your toilet? Living below the poverly line does not equal unemployed. Who's washing your dishes? You think they're not living in the ghetto, too poor to get out when disaster strikes?

 In the past few weeks, I have seen crimes against humanity that I never imagined existed, especially in the United States of America, and now I hear racism, blaming the victim and such disregard for human life it's just...horrifying. There's a picture of a black man holding a baby girl outside of the Superdome. He's shooing photographers who are trying to take a picture of a a poor dead man's body away. He is placing his own blanket over the dead man and giving him a little privacy and dignity in his demise. This is an animal who you say is entitled and standing around in his own shit?

 In case you haven't noticed,there was no help for a lot of the people TO get out, and many didn't leave because they couldn't. Could not. Could not leave thier parents, thier hospitalized loved ones, thier pets. That sounds like people who were brave, very brave indeed and I will not stand idly by and listen to you take away any more of thier dignity than what has already been raped of them.

 A journalist has made an extremely profound statement while working Hurricane Katrina coverage from the Houston Astrodome.

 In relating an encounter with a bereft hurricane evacuee, the journalist said, "All I could do was just put my arm around her and let her cry. I mean, what could you possibly say at a moment like that? 'Don't worry, it will all be OK'? That would be stupid."

 "That would be stupid."

 Is it any coincidence, Mr. President, that your latest 'Mission Accomplished!' spin phrase since this tragedy began to unfold has been, "Don't worry everyone ... it will all be OK."? You have repeated it many, many times this past week.

 Yet things couldn't be further from OK. You would have to be stupid not to see that.

 You ask that people not politicize this crisis. And yet it is your politics that have put us in this crisis in the first place.

 Your glorious brainchild, the Department of Homeland Security, has effectively proven what the majority of Americans have outright known, if not sensed, to be true for the past four years -- that the United States of America is no more prepared today than we were on September 10, 2001.

 3,000+ lives lost on 9/11. 1,881 troops lost in Iraq to "Operation-Whatever-We're-Calling-It-This-Week". Countless billions of dollars and four years spent on "making Americans safe from terra". And all of it in vain. The entire world has witnessed our Federal Government in the pathetic throes of their inability to effectively aid and protect it's own citizens on even the most basic of levels, despite grandiose boasts and promises.

 And yet you built the political platform for your second term upon it ...a Wonka-esque vision of a world safe for freedom and democracy, with you at the helm, the torch of liberty hung high, lighting a path for us through dark and uncertain times ahead. Any of your opponents who dared attack or question this glorious vision would be ceremoniously mud-slung into the fiery pit of an un-Patriotic hell. Your spin doctors were quite ruthless about it.

 As for the voting public, some of us bought it and some of us didn't. Those who bought it got tax breaks. Those who didn't got out their passports and contemplated Canada.

 The major issue before us today, Mr. President, is leadership. Plain and simple. Your credibility as a leader has been undermined by not only your inability to accomplish anything of merit, but also by your oddly detached, coldly aloof attitude toward the needs and feelings of your fellow human beings. Currently, more than one-half of this nation sees you as an election-stealing, war mongering, oil baronesque liar. You can now add "Nero-esque" to that list.

 Why? Because it seems that any opportunity presented you to prove your mettle as a true leader usually concludes with a highly debatable outcome. An outcome typically shrouded in controversial half-truths, curious deceptions, meaningless spin phrases, dubious achievements, moronic excuses and an unnerving amount of dead people.

 This hurricane, however devastating, could very well be the defining moment of your Presidency. Did you show the American people and the world your legacy -- a post 9/11 America that could rise to any challenge and come through the adversity as a stronger, ever-united nation with you as our leader?

 No. You showed the American people and the world that while we braced for what was sure to be one of the worst natural disasters in our history, you could continue to languish in the dog-days of a five week vacation, aptly avoiding a single woman with a single burning question. Briefly, you did go on television one time to appear serious and in charge, restate the obvious, and tell everyone not to worry ... that everything would be OK.

 A true leader would have returned to Washington prior to the hurricane's arrival. In a time of crisis, the people look to see that their leader is "on top of the situation". There is no greater symbolic soundstage in which to be "on top of the situation" than the Oval Office. True leaders recognize the merit in that. People don't feel protected and reassured with their leader dealing with crisis from a ranch. We get hay and manure from ranches. Not leadership.

 Two days after the storm struck, as American citizens were drowning in their own attics, you were still out on the road, stopping to share some laughs and birthday cake with a man whose character your spin-machine at one time had utterly assassinated. The following day, as even the most basic of relief was now already days late to hundreds of thousands of desperate American citizens, you were still out on the road, kicking it up at some sort of a fundraiser, strumming a guitar as if you had not a care in the world.

 And it seemed to the world that the Federal Government's response to this catastrophe could not begin until two days into the disaster, when you flew over it in your fully-stocked, fully air-conditioned 747 (paid for by the taxes of the people who were now drowning down below), shake your head, appear appropriately appalled and acknowledge that yes, we'd had a really bad hurricane.

 Once you were finally back in Washington, now several days into the catastrophe, you took a quick moment to appear serious and in charge again, restate the obvious, and tell everyone not to worry... that everything would be OK. You also made some kind of mention of our impending oil crisis -- "Don't buy gas if you don't need it," to use your Yale-educated, Commander-In-Chiefy words. We were also made aware that Bill and your daddy were going to raise some money to help the hurricane victims. Exit stage left. Your message of compassion to the people of a stricken nation.

 For nearly six whole days, as American citizens lay dead or dying amidst their own vomit, urine and feces in the streets like common animals, you left one of the worst crises this nation has ever endured to a Secretary of Homeland Security who referred to thousands of American citizens dying of neglect in the New Orleans Convention Center as "an unfounded rumor", and to a Director of FEMA who essentially stated that those now suffering in the misery got what they deserved for not heeding the warnings in the first place. How nice.

 People cried for help, and none came. The elderly and the infirm began to die, and still no help came. Local officials begged and pleaded for military assistance to quell the violence and looting, and still none came. Doctors pleaded to get sick infants evacuated from hospitals, and still none came. Dead American citizens lay on highway overpasses in broad view in a major American city, and still no help came.

 To the world it seemed that there was no great rush or effort to inject any type of a Federal presence into the chaos, other than to spout false, conflicting or incomplete information, and make empty promises that took nearly a week to keep.

 Can you not see, Mr. President, how days and days into this crisis your own citizens looked on in horror as they slowly realized, "My God, there is absolutely no one in control!"?

 Can you not see, Mr. President, how all along bureaucrats kept thanking each other in canned speeches typically reserved for Academy Award recipients over an immediate response that had not yet come, even as the death toll was mounting and the unanswered pleas for help continued?

 And after days of being continuously pressed again and again as to where the help was, the so-called leaders of this, the greatest nation on earth, finally announced to the civilized world that they were unable to immediately do anything to alleviate this horror, because .... well, because there had been a major hurricane followed by a major flood. Oh, and they hadn't expected it would be that bad.

 And that, Mr. President, is your vision of an "acceptable response". And that, Mr. President, is a "special kind of stupid".

 The media, thankfully, have recorded it from the beginning. Every empty word. Every misstep that needlessly cost us perhaps thousands of lives. Every image of the removed indifference of an ineffective President and his ineffective Administration stumbling blindly through a catastrophe that is to be their ultimate test ... a test they have so far ultimately failed. A pattern which will undoubtably continue.

 You will not be able to lie and slink your way out of this one. Your deer-in-the-headlights incompetence has been broadcast into far too many living rooms.

 Spare us your photo ops now, Mr. President. There is no need for you to tour the damaged areas. Those that have actually been doing something amid that horror are so far behind in their work (thanks to you) that they don't have time to pose for cameras. They don't have time for your feigned, meaningless sympathy for the survivors. Those survivors needed you almost a week ago. We are fully aware that there has been a catastrophe ... we don't need you to continually restate the obvious. We're not stupid. We are in need of leadership ... leadership that you are not able to provide us.

 Mr. President, you have once again dropped the proverbial ball like a shoebox full of yellowcake uranium from Niger. And as our so-called Commander In Chief, this time you need to be the one held accountable.

 This was the leadership the nation and the world witnessed: a fumbling, intermittent, kneejerk reaction response from an Administration supposedly prepared, and you repeating over and over that everything would be OK, that we will rebuild.

 Perhaps a generation or two from now, it will all be OK. The majority of us are not stupid. Right now, however, some people are simply more pre-occupied with retrieving their dead, searching desperately for their children or surviving another night with no food, water, medicine or humane facilities of any kind.

 They're not quite with you on the "rebuilding a glorious Gulf Coast" bandwagon just yet. They're going to need a little more time. You're better off saving it for the folks at Halliburton.

 Given this Administration's appallingly slow, bungled and insensitive response to this catastrophe, Mr. President, any death from this point moving forward should be considered an act of genocide.

 Yes, genocide. Things have gotten that ugly, and this time you will not wriggle free with deception and lies. Your "throw something against the wall and see what sticks" strategy can no longer be tolerated. Not after American citizens watched American infants dying needlessly in the flooded streets of a major American city. No way.

 The blood of those innocents is on your hands. Your ineffectiveness has been proven time and again. It is time for you and your uncaring Administration to step aside, and let someone else handle this job. There are very hard tasks and very dark days ahead, and it is once again painfully obvious that you are not the person to lead us through them. Our great nation cannot survive another moment under your incompetence.

 Rather than the legacy of a great leader bringing a great nation into a new millennium, your legacy instead will be remembered in the history books as the President who strummed while the Nation wept.

When you work at a start-up, you dream of one thing: world domination. And, while R29 is taking on the challenge, sometimes it takes travelling to a totally new place to realize the scope of the dream. Such was the case with my recent trip to Rio de Janeiro to direct a shoot for the Brazilian Footwear Association, where I found a whole new network of R29'ers.
Though I didn't know how to say "can I take your street style photo for my website" (or anything else) in Portuguese, I jumped at the opportunity to make my first ever trip to South America — and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. I was challenged in my role as director, amazed by the breathtaking landscapes, humbled by the supportive production of the shoot, and, ultimately, sad to leave. The result? After several long days of shooting (don't feel too bad, they were filled with coffee, beaches, cachaca, and Brazilian models galore), we've got a killer set of images to show off the innovative shoes coming out of Brazil (footwear is one of their leading exports!) and a fun behind-the-scenes travel diary to give you a sneak peek without the overnight flight.

The Pennsylvania Farm Bureau will be hard at work this year as the consortium will be eyeing several key issues coming before the Legislature.
The Ridgway Area School District Board of Directors discussed several potential expenses to be drawn from the Long Term Maintenance Fund during a workshop held Tuesday night in the library of the Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School.
Speaking at a press conference at the Pennsylvania Game Commission's Harrisburg headquarters on Monday afternoon regarding the discovery of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in samples collected from three hunter-harvested deer from Blair and Bedford counties, PGC officials indicated there is not believed to be any danger to individuals who consume meat from other deer harvested in those areas, even if the animal had not been tested for CWD.
Surveillance efforts to monitor for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) cost the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) hundreds of thousands of dollars last year, and expenses will likely continue to increase now that the disease has been detected in a small portion of the state's free-ranging deer herd.
ST. MARYS – The popular Relay for Life of Elk County Comedy Night is around the corner, taking place on Saturday evening at The Edgewood in St. Marys. The SGL Warriors team's ninth show, the event typically sells out.
John F. Weidert, 73, of Burgettstown, died Monday, March 4, 2013, 10:50 p.m. in Weirton Medical Center.
He was born on March 1, 1940 in Ridgway, son of the late Francis Ottomar and Clara Cecilia Buhler Weidert.
Mr. Weidert was a 1958 graduate of Ridgway High School and a 1962 graduate of Pennsylvania State University, earning a degree in Forestry.
He was a veteran of the United States Army, serving during the Vietnam War Era.
Since 1983, the Good Samaritan Food Bank of Ridgway has been dedicated to providing food to local individuals and families in need.
A St. Marys woman was sentenced in Elk County Court Monday on charges that she stole $20,000 from the Walmart Supercenter Store #1792 in Fox Township while employed there over a two-year period.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) announced additional information regarding the three hunter-killed deer that tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Blair and Bedford counties during a press conference held at the PGC's Harrisburg headquarters on Monday afternoon. According to Cal DuBrock, Bureau Director of Wildlife Management for the PGC, the three deer were tested through the commission's aging field checks during the general firearm season.
Nedra Marie Rooney, 95, of Erie, passed away on Friday, March 1, 2013 at Forestview Health Care Center at Springhill.
She was born Oct. 23, 1917 in Kane to the late Edward J. and Alice Retzer Powell. Nedra graduated from Wilcox High School in 1935 where she was salutatorian and received a BS in Education from Villa Maria College in 1960. Previously she had attended Lockhaven Teacher's College (University) and the University of Alabama.

Hang tight!
Recipe by CC
"This is the staple of Korean fine dining, but too expensive in the restaurants. It is also simple to make at home, and will leave your guests asking for more. Total time includes marinating time. Traditionally, should be served sliced, rolled in romaine lettuce leaves, along with white rice, lightly browned garlic slices, and gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3/4 cup
soy sauce
3/4 cup
brown sugar
3/4 cup
garlic clove, minced
green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon
Asian (toasted) sesame oil
2 pounds
Korean-style short ribs (beef chuck flanken, cut 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick across bones)
Fantastic recipe! Followed it exactly but I baked mine in the oven at 375 for 20 mins and then turned on the broiler for about 5 mins. The meat came out very juicy w/ a little char on the edges just like if it was made on the grill! Next time I might either half or completely omit the water.
Nice. Too much salt for me, (I used reduced sodium soy sauce the 2nd time) and too much sugar. (I tried it with 1/8 cup sugar the second time.)
And if you do that, reduce the salt and sugar, you can pretty much omit the water too. The recipe does benefit from a couple of days in the fridge marinating in a ziplock bag.

These were awesome. Followed the recipe exactly. Used boneless ribs. The extra thing I did was after I marinaded the ribs for 36 hours, I poured it all in a saucepan - boiled it and then cooked it slow for an hour to reduce it to a thick sauce. Used that to glaze the ribs while they were on the grill. DELICIOUS!
This is a great recipe. I make this dish quite often and usually marinate the meat with rice wine(if you don't have it you can use red wine or beer) and a cup of grated apple or kiwi or pineapple or pear first for a couple of hours before marinating it with other ingredients. This really makes a lot of difference. It makes the meat so tender and juicy. Koreans usually use fruit to marinate meat and this way you don't have to put too much sugar. I also season it with salt and pepper ( a pinch of salt and about a teaspoon of pepper)
Great recipe! I read the previous reviews and followed two of the suggestions. 1. I cooked the ribs at 375 for 20 min then broiled them for 5 min. 2. After marinading the meat I boiled the left over marinade, then reduced it to a simmer until the marinade reduced to a glaze, which we added to the ribs after cooking. Fantastic!
Wow. If this is Korean BBQ then American BBQ needs to learn a few things from this.
Delish! I mostly can only rate the marinade because I used a different cut of meat. Beef chuck flanken style ribs. Marinaded it for a good 6 hours. Actually thickened the marinade that was left and cooked it with some asian style veggies. Daughter and boyfriend rate it 5 stars! Me too! This is my kitchen approved!
this recipe is very tasty. i used boneless shortribs and marinated in a ziplock bag for 2 days in the fridge and did not add water. i did not have any green onions on hand and subbed minced yellow onion. i also put these under the broiler and cooked to medium. They were delicious! i sliced the meat thin and as suggested, rolled them in romaine lettuce leaves and chili paste and ate with white rice. Yum!

HEAD Player Ramy Ashour of Egypt claimed the largest squash prize ever offered for a professional squash tournament anywhere in the world at the Sheikha Al Saad Kuwait Open. Ashour, who plays with the HEAD Metallix 130, defeated World No.1 Amr Shabana 11-5, 11-2, 12-10 in a match that lasted only 34 minutes.
"I'm really excited about what happened here today," Ashour said, "but I'm sure it will be much tougher the next time I play against him," Ashour continued who will turn 20 in 5 months.
Meanwhile, fellow HEAD player and World No. 3 David Palmer of Australia battled his way to the semi-finals of the Sheikha Al Saad Kuwait Open with his HEAD Metallix 160, but lost to Shabana.

Major League Baseball Tickets
MLB Baseball Schedule - Baseball Tickets
National League Tickets
American League Tickets
Houston Astros Tickets are a hot item this year, get your while they last.
Major League Baseball is the big show and the National League and American League work to produce a World Series after the regular season. Each team plays 162 games so there is plenty of opportunity to get out to the ballpark and cheer your favorite team along. Many consider baseball America's pastime.
One notable difference between the two leagues is the Designated Hitter in the American League. When the two leagues meet, they play by the home team's rules.
As of 2000 the two leagues are considered one under the umbrella of the of the MLB.
The original MLB agreement goes back to the 1876 NL Constitution and has revisions as recent as 2005. With the Commissioner's direction the MLB hires the umpires and negotiates TV contracts as well as labor and marketing. The MLB also controls the minor leagues which is one of their sources for talented players. This unique control is a result of the 1922 Supreme Court ruling which held that baseball is not subject to antitrust law.
While baseball has considered international expansion the 30 teams are split as above.
With 8 teams in each league, the regular season consisted of 154 games (7 opponents x 22 games each) 1904 to the 60s . While they expanded to 10 teams in the 60s the schedule was changed to 162 games (9 opponents x 18 games each). The schedule is currently 162 games but the layout was changed so that teams play more games in their division.
Some seasons were shortened in times of war (1918) and due to player strikes & lockouts (1972, 1981, 1994, 1995). The flu cut the 1919 season to 140 games. Prior to 1904 the season varied annually.

OMG! HMF is Officially Open at Breakers Palm Beach
Where: 1 South County Road [map], Palm Beach, Florida, United States
Snowstorms in New York, cold front in LA. Who doesn't want to be in Palm Beach, Florida, where the palms are forever swaying to ocean breezes? We're heading there STAT with a cocktail in mind and talk about good timing now that HMF is officially open at The Breakers Palm Beach.
HMF (which stands for Henry Morrison Flagler, who founded The Breakers) is bringing back West Palm Beach's cocktail scene in a major way. Slated as a modern social drinking and eating destination, the bar is uber-nostalgic for that timeless American glamor allure. It's fancy-pants, but in that island style we heart.
