Sara Kruzman was an 11-year-old honor student, essentially raising herself due to her drug addicted mother being unavailable and having only met her father three times. When George Gilbert Howard showed up in her life, offering her ice cream and trips to the roller rink, it is no surprise he became the only adult that seemed to care about her. By the time she was 13, she had been regularly sexually assaulted by Howard for two years and was working for him as a prostitute on the streets of Riverside, California.
By March 1994, at age 16, she was arrested for his murder. The following year, she was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
Kruzman is one of more than 2,500 prisoners in the United States who have been sentenced as juveniles to life without parole (LWOP). Before the age of 18, children are told they are not mature enough to drive, to see certain movies, or even consent to sex. Yet, when it comes to crimes, our justice system believes that children are to be held responsible for their actions and should be punished for them for the rest of their lives.
In 2010, the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life without parole for non-violent crimes. Last year, they ruled that mandatory sentencing of life without parole for juveniles was cruel and unusual punishment, regardless of the offense. However, they still left it up to the judge's discretion as to whether or not such a severe sentence was appropriate. In short, they left open the possibility that some children will grow up and die in prison, in spite of abolishing the death penalty for juveniles in 2005.
It should be noted that the United States is the only country that sentences youth to life without parole, in violation of international convention.
California is one of 19 states that allow the sentencing of juveniles to LWOP. They have the second highest number of "lifers" in the nation, preceded only by Pennsylvania by the number of prisoners sentenced for crimes committed as juveniles. The inmates in California, which represent 12.5 percent of the juvenile lifer population nationwide, were involved in homicide cases as youths. However, Human Rights Watch reports that nearly half of them did not commit the actual murder.
The accomplices are often in prison longer than the actual killer.
Irrational fears ushered in an era of "tough on crime" laws during the 1980s and 1990s where things like mandatory minimum sentencing became the favorite of politicians and the voting public. These laws were meant to deter those who would consider committing a crime as well as punish more harshly those who did (newsflash – they didn't work). This included youths. Whether it's an 11-year-old shooting his father's girlfriend or teens shooting up their schools, the message is clear: our children are killers and need to be punished.
There is little discussion, however, as to how they got that way.
According to the Human Rights Watch Report, "When I Die They'll Send Me Home," there are some very troubling statistics when looking at youth sentenced to life without parole:
-Nearly 60 percent were first time offenders
-Many committed the crimes under the influence of an adult
-In California, nearly 85 percent of youth sentenced were people of color
-Youth are poorly represented and do not understand the basics of their legal proceedings, including their Miranda rights
In all three of their decisions concerning the sentencing of youth offenders, SCOTUS maintained two key points: 1) teens and children are different than adults and 2) these differences must be considered during sentencing. In 2010, the court noted that, "As compared to adults, juveniles have a lack of maturity and an underdeveloped sense of responsibility. They are more vulnerable or susceptible to negative influences and outside pressures, including peer pressure and their characters are not as well formed."
This isn't about arguing that youth offenders should not be punished for their crimes. It is about asking what is the appropriate punishment and how long is long enough to pay when the crime is committed by a child or teen who, for reasons that can be explained biologically and sociologically, is susceptible to irrational impulses and outside influence?
Scientists, youth experts and now the Supreme Court all agree that every consideration has to be given to a child's circumstances when considering punishment. While it may seem that a 14-year-old gang member knew what he was doing, his brain development and social environment makes him incapable of being held to the same standards as other offenders. In their 2005 opinion about the juvenile death penalty in Roper v. Simmons, the court said, "From a moral standpoint, it would be misguided to equate the failings of a minor with those of an adult, for a greater possibility exists that a minor's character deficiencies will be reformed."
In other words, this same susceptibility also increases the possibility of changing for the better.
In January of this year, a new California law went into effect which allows for new parole hearings for prisoners who were sentenced to life without parole as juveniles. In September, Governor Jerry Brown signed another law which required parole boards to give special consideration to juveniles who have served at least 15 years of their long-term sentences. It is estimated that nearly 1,000 inmates are already eligible for parole hearings based on the new laws.
Sara Kruzman, now 32, was granted parole this month, which was achieved through several years of lobbying on behalf of supporters, including the commuting of her sentence to 25 years-to-life by former Governor Arnold Schwarznegger. Nevertheless, her case highlights the need to consider each case of juvenile crime – even violent ones – on an individual basis, as well as the need to give all youth offenders a chance at a future.
As the Supreme Court concluded, "Age is a reality that courts cannot ignore."

a child's brain has not matured enough for a child to be held responsible for serious crimes. if they are truly incorrigible, they need treatment and to learn self-discipline. G-d doesn't make junk. Junk comes from undiagnosed and untreated mental/behavioral illnesses and being treated like junk. No living thing is entirely bad.
depends on the case/age/circumstances.
Trolling again LOL Sorry Santa the Virginia you're looking for is definitely not here. Some people like hitting hornet's nests and running away. Some people like roiling up people because when they get a reaction it makes them feel powerful.
Me a society should be judged on how they treat children, elderly and disabled and animals. How will we be judged with this going on?
My comments probably are not going to make me very popular, however they are mine and I take them very seriously, It is a relief that children are no longer given the death penalty. However LWOP is not the answer in all cases. When you take a young child who has made child decisions they should not be given adult reprocussions for their actions. I am not saying they should be let off the hook or given light sentences. Just make them reasonable. Make them appropriate for the charge. Give them a chance to make adult decisions in an adult world, not made uo of adult inmates.
We had an 8yr old in my state that was given the death penalty, later changed to LWOP. Was he guilty, yes there was no question about that, but by keeping him in prison the rest of his life is not going to teach him anything. It certainly won't bring the deceased back. I would hope that LWO will be eliminated at least for perhaps 99% of these children. Please think about it when you vote for your officials and go to the polls.
Thank you for listening to my point of view.
The last part of my comment was "Her mother should have been jailed for allowing this to happen to her daughter."
Virginia, you seem to have a pretty hard heart with totally NO UNDERSTANDING for this girls situation. This was a sweet innocent girl and this bastard pimp took her and totally corrupted her. This young girl was an HONOR STUDENT growing up on her own and doing the best she could with a drug addicted mother. THAT ALONE HAS GREAT MERITS!!!!! How many 11 year old kids in THIS situation do YOU know of who can be on the HONOR ROLL?!!! This poor girl was vulnerable and impressionable and had NO ONE to turn to, and this reprobate lowlife shows up and entices her with things that she has never had or known about. The bastard RAPED HER over and over again FOR YEARS!!!!, AND ABUSED HER, you KNOW he had to beat her, AND THEN PUT HER OUT ON THE STREETS AT 13 YEARS OLD TO WORK FOR HIM!!!! What about this are YOU NOT UNDERSTAND??? She killed the degenerate to get away from him, what else could she do???? What would YOU have done???!!! He DESERVED to die and that was too good for him!!! He TOTALLY DESTROYED HER LIFE. And you have the nerve to say that the VICTIM cannot become whole again?! SHE WAS THE VICTIM, NOT HIM!!! And YES!, she will never be right again. Although I pray that she WILL be able to overcome what she has gone through. She is going to need a lot of counseling and prayers to be able to forget the horrible time he put her through and then the jail time she did and should not have done a day of. Her mother should have been jailed for allowing this to happen to her dau
I agree with others. Each case is different and we can't generalise.
Thanks for sharing. I hope this young lady is able to get some help to rebuild her life.
To Virgina G, wow what a sick attitude you have. No empathy for the abuse this young girl was put through by this man, just lock her up and throw the key away. Years of abuse got her to that point and the man had it coming or he would of kept pimping out young children. As far as I'm concerned he got what he had coming! She was just finally brave enough to defend herself. She never should of been locked up in the first place! I just thank God being from Ca. they didn't execute her! And her parents should take responsability for her also. She sure didn't start out that way but she didn't have any parental help. Thats exactly who the predators go after, neglected kids. They gain their trust, make them feel cared for for the 1st. time in their life, then abuse them worse then their parents did. You can't be a mother or not one who has any love to say what you did. There are no kids that are just born bad, life makes them bad!
One should not generalize, especially not when it concerns children and crimes. Sara needed help, support, people she could trust, not being thrown in jail for killing a monster. I can only hope that she gets the support she deserves, it is late, but hopefully not TOO late.

Mars lakes around for long enough to support life
A crater on Mars had water in it that stayed there for up to 10,000 years — long enough that it could have supported life.
Welcome to the new Independent website. We hope you enjoy it and we value your feedback. Please contact us here.
A crater on Mars had water in it that stayed there for up to 10,000 years — long enough that it could have supported life.
The full details and implications of the findings to be set out in a press conference
The actual event will get underway at 4.30pm UK time, though details of the announcement are set to be revealed before that
Speculation has been rife ahead of Monday's announcement
Nasa has said it has solved a "Mars mystery"
Conjecture over US space agency's planned announcement focuses on possibility of water on the Red Planet
Despite Nigel Farage's prediction that the UK Independence party will cause an "earthquake" in British politics at the European Parliament elections, Britons give Ukip as much chance of winning as finding life on Mars.
Tombs: this weird restaurant in Ahmedabad, India is famous for its milk tea and the tombs between the tables. The owner, who claims to have opened the restaurant 40 years ago, says he does not know who is buried there.
International Olympic Committee and Fifa are about to embark on a prolonged period of instability, with their flagship events lined up in a frightening domino effect of uncertainty
Whittled down from 200,000 applicants, meet three of the intrepid Brits hoping to take that giant leap for mankind
The project hopes to establish human life on Mars by 2025, with the 'rigorous' selection process set to begin this year, but many hurdles remain in place
As China eyes a manned mission to the Moon, Nasa's Curiosity has found proof that there was once water – and thus potentially simple life – on the Red Planet
Newly analysed data showed the temperature plunged to -93.2C (-135.8F) in August 2010
Red Planet had at least one large freshwater lake with right sort of chemical make-up to support kind of mineral-eating microbes seen on Earth
Since the US shelved its space programme in the aftermath of the 2008 crash, China has forged ahead, says Steve Connor
New research shows distinctive rock is more than twice as old as previously thought – and could expose signs of ancient Martian life

|Reviews for A Solo For The Living
| Silverfern500 chapter 34 . 6/5
How could you leave us here?! In the middle of war, not knowing if they are alive or dead, with Erik's one pride gone with the city and Christine unaware of the whole battle? I understand, as a writer, leaving stories for decades without being able to continue them. Though this is cruel... Thank you for writing this much, thank you for giving your insight into the characters. Breathing life into cities and streets from ages past. Thank you for eliciting such emotion from your readers. If you do choose to continue at some point, I would love to pick this piece up again. Until then, Auf Wiedersehen and good luck in all your endeavors. -Silverfern500
| futurejelly chapter 34 . 4/12
I went to hit the next button... And it wasn't there. A punch right in the gut. This story is so good and I know it's a long shot but I hope you update it.
| What an ache chapter 24 . 10/4/2014
Just reading this again, after what, seven years?! I sort of wish it ended here. That they kiss and decide to be together and then that's it. I know it's not what you had planned.
Perhaps, next year, on the anniversary of the year you started, you'll leave a note telling us how it all worked out? Think about it. I'm not going to nag you to continue, it's been too long, but please consider telling us what happened. I hope you are well and happy.
| HellaPhantom chapter 30 . 7/17/2014
| Meri chapter 34 . 3/22/2014
Oh! I forgot to mention my two favorite lines in the story. I love when Madame Giry tells Erik that the bread will only make him die fat, and I love it when Erik is coming to the dinner Madame Giry invited him to, and Christine is about to leave Meg alone in the room before he knocks on the door, and Meg tells Christine "I'm not opening that door!"
| Meri chapter 34 . 3/22/2014
Oh...I had a feeling this would happen. I would become completely immersed in a great fanfiction that is written better than some books I had to read during high school, read it for hours, only to realize it hasn't been updated in years :( . Oh well. It's plenty long enough, and it seems all that there would be left to do with it after all the fighting would be for Christine to accept Raoul's death (I'm assuming he's dead) and move on with her life as she grows up. If Erik lives, then it doesn't seem likely that he and Christine will end up together since their relationship is so toxic. So he would just have to move on without anyone. I loved all thirty-four chapters, and if some day a new chapter happens to spring up I would be happier than ever to read it. Next time I know to check and make sure it's complete or has at least been recently updated. Kudos to being a great writer!
| Neko chapter 34 . 12/30/2013
Darn it all. I knew I was going to hit the end eventually, but this is a terrible stopping point! I want to know what happens. I hope you continue some day, there are still people just discovering your story!
| Neko chapter 28 . 12/30/2013
So, Erik's grand plan for getting himself together with Christine this time is...
a.) sex happens
b.) freak out over sex happening and send Christine away
c.) leave town for months
d.) show back up ready to romance Christine again
e.) ?
f.) happy ever after!
Ironically for an architect, his plans for life are not very sound.
| Neko chapter 18 . 12/30/2013
Well, Madam Giry succeeded, that definitely punctured the bad-boy allure of "the Phantom" or even "Erik, the Phantom," had for Christine. Interesting how...humbly Erik conducted himself. After the last chapter, I was sure he was going to take the dinner as an opportunity to perform. But he didn't try and build up any glamor, and he was quite quick to prevent Christine from doing to do it for him.
| Neko chapter 16 . 12/30/2013
I enjoy Erik's way with children. Not quite as good as physically tossing that boy away from him, but he gets extra points for style. I can see how children would be particularly unnerving to him...they are much more likely to comment on his face/bandages/mask than older people who have had manners (or fear) drilled into them.
I also enjoyed Erik getting annoyed by Egrot daring to be so obnoxiously friendly! Until he realizes he's not being horribly nice, he actually is doing it to benefit himself, and THEN Erik's fine with it.
| Neko chapter 15 . 12/30/2013
I'm glad Madame Giry knows things aren't as dire as she feared, but I'm a little bummed we have missed out on reading the righteous smackdown she was prepared to deliver him.
I'm trying to imagine how Erik might defend himself at this dinner. "Well, considering I was on the balcony with the intent of killing you..."
| Neko chapter 14 . 12/30/2013
Poor, devoted Raoul. Wonderfully written.
| Neko chapter 8 . 12/29/2013
I actually liked Raoul's father, even after that hardly flattering introduction.
| Neko chapter 7 . 12/29/2013
"But he was not a ghost. His name was Erik. Only a man named Erik, who did something to her soul that made it bleed."
Excellent line.
| Neko chapter 6 . 12/29/2013
You have a very adept touch with humor. Erik's last thought there morphed slowly as the sentence continued into something hilarious, as he thinks about where he is and ends up reflecting on the fact he's been lurking on the balcony most of the night.
I was thinking that it must be rather hard to remove murder from your repertoire of strategies to deal with people that annoy you. And after he wins that struggle and the conquers his next moral battle by not peeking at Christine undressing, she catches him on the balcony! I don't think he's going to explain that he really deserves some kudos for making progress in his quest to become less of a creeper.

Fresh from red rolling dunes parted by twin wheel ruts vanishing into the boundless fat blue skies of the Australian outback, John Mee tucked a gleaming new Simon Anderson 6'5" Indo gun underarm to board Garuda flight GA16 one-way for adventure!
He stared into the thundering boneyards of a boiling Sunset Beach reef from atop twenty-foot swells. He criss-crossed—in a poo-brown two-litre fuel-injected 1979 kombi—the slate-grey concrete ribbons of the American heartland. In a marble-walled mall beside the open raw sewers of Surabaya-Indonesia, he defeated all-challengers to his domineerance over their local global arcade phenomenum: Street Fighter II. He slashed fresh first tracks across the white morning sheets of every glorious snowbound Monashee dawn. He met the millions, and broke bread with them.
But today? The silent bluegrey of an Apple Eyemack stares back indifferently into the vanishing points of his red delta far-away eyes whilst they stumble amid the aftermath of yet another 10–15 hour assault upon it's codebases. Yesterdays and tomorrows Blend. Blister, Blur. Adventure of a different kind. Patient and slumbering travel sleeps. Patient. Brooding. Dreaming.
Of the next big chance: a tyke Jap motorbike beckons—nay, haunts—a venture through the melodious sounds and scents of jungles toiling with Laotian tribesmen; the fierce whistling solaces of white-tipped sentinals speckled carelessly with Himalayan porters and their jangling Yak trains; the rioting color aswirl in the bazaars of staccato Arabian merchants; to languish awhile in the teeming town squares and moldy stone ruins of rolling pommy peasants and handlebar-mustachioed burgomeisters; precocious princesses of Paris tap on their cafe tables.

News & Events
In two speeches on May 21, UNC Pembroke's Chancellor-elect Dr. Robin G. Cummings said the university that most influenced his life was The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Dr. Cummings grew up in the shadow of Old Main, and for him, it represents the opportunities that only education can provide.
(Chapel Hill, NC – May 19, 2015) A committee of the UNC Board of Governors will host four regional forums to invite public input in the search for the next president of the 17-campus University of North Carolina system. UNC President Thomas W. Ross will step down in January 2016, and the board hopes to have his successor identified by this fall.
On Friday evening and Saturday morning, The University of North Carolina at Pembroke awarded 738 degrees.
The Givens Performing Arts Center was near capacity on Friday as 160 graduate degrees were awarded. As tropical storm Anna generated some blustery weather, undergraduate degrees were awarded to 578 students in an outdoor ceremony in the university's historic Quad. An estimated 5,000 attended.
UNC Pembroke and Chancellor Kyle R. Carter honored 46 graduating veterans and active duty service men and women in a ceremony on the campus quad on May 6.
The graduates received red-white-and-blue honor cords and challenge coins. Their commencement ceremony was May 9.
The event was established to honor veterans and active duty service men and women for their service to their country and to UNCP. Chancellor Carter has been a cheerleader for them. The chancellor took a full minute

Dillinger Four
St. Paul's Turf Club hosts all manner of artist showcases, but rare is the occasion when the club hosts a punk show—let alone a punk show of this caliber—for only $6. Friday night's show serves as both a homecoming for Pretty Boy Thorson and the F'n A's (the band returns from a string of shows out west), and as the kickoff for an 11-date mini-tour for Dillinger Four. Eventually set to land in Austin for SXSW, the Twin Cities patriarchs continue to play in support of the hard-nosed C I V I L W A R, the band's second release via Fat Wreck Chords and first since 2002's Situationist Comedy. Joining the two bands for the show are Killer Dreamer (ex-FYP, Lipstick Pick Ups) and Sinks. 21+.

Baldwin Golf Association looking at possibility of new clubhouse
March 28, 2012
Steve Wilson had a fondness for Baldwin Golf Course long before becoming Baldwin Golf Association president.
"This is where I first started playing golf," he said. "It's a great place for parents to brings kids to get them started in the game."
Wilson knows the nine-hole golf course has limitations. It has sand greens, and its fairways and tee boxes are not irrigated.
What some might perceive as a shortcoming make the course a community asset in other ways, Wilson said. As proof, he points to a photograph taken during a high school cross country meet snapped from the top of the Baldwin grain elevator he manages. It shows parking for the buses and other vehicles spilling over from the parking lot onto the course.
"You couldn't do that on a grass green course," he said. "Someday, someone with deep pockets might want to come in here and add grass greens and irrigation, but that's not what we're about."
The course also is home to a handful of charitable 5-kilometer runs during the year, and a Baker University home cross country meet, Wilson said. Moreover, Baker has some golf classes at the course, Baldwin High School uses it for its golf team's practices and Baker students are allowed free use of the course because of the university's $2,500-a-year contribution to the association.
"There's more that goes on out here than a bunch of guys coming out here on Wednesday evening and playing golf," he said.
The Baldwin Golf Association has managed the golf course since it was established in 1951. For years, it did so with a year-to-year lease with the city. But two years ago, Wilson and the association asked that the lease term be extended to five years so there would be more confidence in its future.
The longer lease, now starting its third year, has worked as planned, Wilson said. The activity schedule is fuller, about 10 more $125-a-year memberships have been sold and the association's finances are on more solid ground.
With that, the association is starting to look at replacing the converted horse barn that has served at the course's clubhouse since 1960s.
Its appearance, especially when open to the pubic during big cross country meets, does not leave a favorable impression of the city, Wilson said. The kitchen area and bathrooms stink with mildew from the building's failing roof, he said.
Wilson said he hoped a plan can be in place so that work could start in the late fall or early next spring to tear down the old barn and start on the new clubhouse.
He envisions a clubhouse with sink and bathrooms with a footprint slightly larger than the horse barn, Wilson said. Although nothing fancy, it could be rented for gatherings, especially those golf related.
"It's in the early stages," he said. "We want to see if we can come up with a plan. We want to see what it costs. Then, we'll see how much money can be donates, how much materials and labor can be donated."

TripAdvisor Reviews Super 8 Chattanooga Hamilton Place
Travel Blogs from Chattanooga
Touring in Chattanooga, Tennessee
... walk to the Chattanooga Distillery. This distillery originally was the first legal distillery in Tennessee. Established 100 years ago, it was closed down upon the introduction of Prohibition in 1920. When prohibition finally ended, they did start distilling again, but it had to be from Indiana. Their local Hamilton County did not allow the production of liquor despite the rescinded prohibition laws. The industry kept lobbying ...
Chattanooga Stop for the Night
We arrived in Chattanooga crossed over to Georgia and gave up on the 127 yard sale. It was fun while it lasted but we are hot any tired and ready for a shower. On the way to our hotel we saw a Muffler Man at Sir Gooneys Golf. He makes three for this trip. We have one left to see in Oklahoma on the way home. Tomorrow we head to Nashville to visit the The American Pickers ...
The exit from Florida
... dressing on top of lettuce, tomato, onion and a bread roll. Very nice too. Steve had a minced lamb burger and fries. Have decided to stay a second night here and do some touring tomorrow. There is a railway link to a look out on top of a nearby hill, plus the distillery tour, so will start with those. No photos for the past couple of days, as it was pouring rain in Florida, but more to come with the next ...
What was all the worrying about!
... I was sandwiched between 2 people who were smoking! Steve sat next to me so at least I only had one woman blowing smoke over me! The woman was talking to a guy who I assumed she was with, but soon realised wasn't, when he made a quick get away! Now I should have realised that in Oz time it was Sunday and that means market, and market means dysfunctionals! And boy was she was one! I did feel sorry for her but I did not need to hear her ...
Last Stop
... actually had the key for the bike lock with us so we rode our bikes on the less traveled roads of the Chickamauga Battlefield in the relatively cool morning hours. Had a covered dish and meeting with 10K members and then went into Chattanooga for a concert in the park on the river.
We have visited Chattanooga before so we had already seen the Aquarium, Chattanooga Choo Choo, and Incline Railroad.

Talk about a medical emergency. The Boston Fire Department rushed to the VA hospital in West Roxbury on Friday after a car reportedly smashed into the building.
The fire department tweeted that the car was taken away from the scene and that the facility seemed to have escaped structural damage.
But the city building inspector still has to sign off on the scene, the tweet stated.
Boston.com reported one of the tweets, about 1 p.m.: "JUST IN: Car crashed in the VA Hospital in West Roxbury."
The driver's condition and what caused the vehicle to veer off course was not immediately known.

Extreme telephoto macro photography ( 600mm X 1.4 teleconverter X 1.6 APS-C sensor with 36mm extension tube ) - cropped slightly .
Hello Krisztina - I am a hummingbird afficionado and spend countless hours trying to photograph the tiny birds in my back yard . The sight and sound of the hummingbird soothes the soul - even better if you can get a picture !
CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR PRIZE on July 2012 contest !!! - With friendly regards from Athens, Christos
A well deserved prize winner. Way to go!
Yours sincerely. Corrado
Congrats Waldo. How wonderfully cool that you can do this in your own backyard!

greetings Corrado and Cieja0 and thank you !
Howdy Derek and Kenfowkes - gotta wonder what transpires from here !
Took the images in my own backyard cause that's where the beer cooler was !
Hello Krisztina - entered this image and others similar to it in 3 photo contests - won 3 times - not because I am a great photographer , but because people love hummingbirds !!!
Well, likely both I think. I get a lot of hummingbirds in my backyard, and one thing I notice is they do not stay still for long. I suspect that getting a shot like this requires persistence and talent, and then some good luck too. Is that a cestrum?
Good catch and shot, my like
Thank you kindly Xeon !
The flowers are " Ipomopsis Rubra " ( Standing Cypress ) kenfowkes - a Zone 3 bi-annual flower that hummingbirds like - our hummingbirds migrate thru in the fall ( they nest and spend the summer in the mountain meadows where wildflowers are abundant ) ! Al Servo focus mode , extreme telephoto , full sun on the flower with the sun at your back are key ingredients for hummingbird photography .
CONGRATULATIONS for YOUR PRIZE.....
Perfect photo! - I love it :)
Congratulation for your prize

Brittany is one of the most beautiful regions in France, with a long attractive coastline made up of beautiful sandy beaches, dramatic headlands and peaceful coves. Along the coast, you can find a series of seaside towns and villages, each with their own charms. Just south of the ferry port of St Malo is Dinan, one of Brittany's best preserved medieval towns with a wealth of timber framed merchant's houses and a network of cobbled streets.
Inland is equally attractive, with peaceful countryside where you can find traditional Breton villages,chapels and market towns.
The house is just outside Corseul a Breton village with an interesting past - once the site of a large Roman town , you can now visit the remains which are laid out in the centre of the village. There are a couple of bakeries here , as well as a shop and café/ bar.
A few minutes drive brings you to Dinan, one of France's best preserved medieval towns.The historic centre has a great selection of restaurants and cafés and many small independent shops and artists workshops. Often you'll hear music or see stalls selling traditional leather and other goods. The cobbled streets wind through half timbered houses - leading to a fine stone castle and impressive town ramparts.
The pretty Port area has more riverside cafes and restaurants, , here you can also take a boat trip to the old citadel port of St. Malo or hire a self drive boat and explore the delightful river Rance.
Languenan - 2.4 km, Corseul - 5 km. Dinan - 7km, St. Malo - 20 km. Rennes - 60 km. Mont St. Michel and Cancale are only 45 minutes away.

While he excels in both digital and film photography, he has a soft side and a big heart for analogue. He is also described as a 'Seeker of abandoned spaces,' and 'reenactor of the war of 1812,' We were fortunately able to get in touch with this film aficionado, who agreed to grant an interview.7 Share Tweet

HARTFORD, Conn. - David B. Fein, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Bruce M. Foucart, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) for New England, announced that James Leonard Key, 38, of Atwoodville Road, Mansfield, Conn., was arrested by ICE HSI agents on a federal criminal complaint charging Key with possession of child pornography. The arrest is the result of an investigation by ICE HSI.
The complaint alleges that, in August 2009, an Internet Protocol (IP) address, which was subsequently identified as belonging to Key, accessed a web site in the Netherlands and downloaded at least one image of child pornography. On Oct. 19, 2010, ICE HSI agents seized two laptop computers and an external hard drive from Key's residence. Preliminary forensic examination of the computers and hard drive has revealed in excess of 100 images and videos of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Following his arrest this morning at his residence, Key appeared before United States Magistrate Judge Donna F. Martinez in Hartford. Key was released on a bond in the amount of $100,000, which is co-signed by family members. He will be subject to electronic monitoring by the U.S. probation office while this matter is pending.
If convicted of the charge of possession of child pornography, Key faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000.
This case is being investigated by ICE HSI in Hartford with the assistance of the European Law Enforcement Agency (EUROPOL) and the Dutch National Police. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah R. Slater.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers.
ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

The church choir is one of the most important facets of the church, as services without music would simply not be the same.

'We have been involved in getting the word out since the contest began in 2008" says Lori Pepenella, Destination Marketing Director for the Southern Ocean Chamber. 'We have been successful spreading the word to members, through social media, at our visitor center, at travel and trade shows to the public to maximize the chances to keep LBI on top of mind. In 2009 we joined the lobbying to have Long Beach Island voted on as one entity. We have done extremely well placing as high ranking top ten beach. Last year, in top beach photo LBI pictures placed first and fourth. This year the organizers of the contest decided it was time for each town to promote what makes them stand out. They can claim they are the best of the best, this is their chance to shine." Instead of Long Beach Island as a whole, 2014 contest online voters will need to choose Barnegat Light, Harvey Cedars, Surf City, Ship Bottom, Beach Haven, LB Township's Loveladies or Holgate as their choice for best family vacation, day trip or eco tourism favorite. Voters will be asked to consider beach fees, parking, restrooms, changing amenities and other factors.
The NJ Top Ten Beaches is sponsored by the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium and Richard Stockton College's Costal Resource Center. Ballots can be cast online at www.njtoptenbeaches.org. Voting runs through April 30. Winners will be announced on May 22. In the most recent voting, in 2012, Long Beach Island, came in strong as a region, this year each town will need to join the grass root effort to help get their beach on the top ten list. For information on the many towns that comprise Southern Ocean County, home of the LBI Region contact Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce at 609 494 7211 www.visitLBIregion.com.

What are the pros? Good producer
What are the cons? Massive plant
This was an impressive plant. It was the first to produce tomatoes and there was an extreme abundance of them. Plant became huge and it crowded out tomatoes near it. It was a sweeter tomato, but great for snacking.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?
What are the pros? Easy to grow
What are the cons? Not a lot of taste
I was excited to grow these tomatoes and they are beautiful. Clusters full of bright yellow tomatoes. However the taste did not convince me to grow them again. Black Cherry and Sungold are much more flavorful.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?
What are the pros? Tasty, Great yield,
What are the cons? None so far
Delicious and my market customers LOVE these, that is IF my kids and I do not eat them first. :) I will be growing these again next year!
2 out of 2 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Tasty, prolific
What are the cons? none
This was the first ripe tomato that I had this season, and it was delicious. These larger cherries pack a big tomato taste. I didn't find them exceptionally sweet or acidic. They are rich and tasty. I will continue to have these as part of my garden.
What are the pros? Explosive Productivity
What are the cons? None
I have tried all of the most popular cherry tomatoes in Baker's catalog and none come close to the vigor and explosive growth these plants have. It is amazing. One of these plants will produce a ton of good sized yellow cherry tomatoes. They are very tasty and a perfect compliment to a salad with red cherry tomatoes as well. Be warned, these plants get HUGE.

Gol Brazilian RestaurantRead MoreGol Brazilian Restaurant's cooks prepare top sirloin, bacon-wrapped pork, chicken hearts, and other meats in the traditional gaucho style—by skewering them onto metal rods and slow-roasting them over charcoal. Besides the succulent churrasco selections, a buffet of fresh, flavorful salads and hot dishes such as spaghetti carbonara and croquettes round out the menu. Patrons can sip fresh fruit juices, beer, or wine and finish meals with creamy flan and other desserts while observing the footwork of Brazilian soccer teams on the flat-screen TV.10436 Magnolia AveRiverside, CA US
Agora ChurrascariaRead MoreAgora Churrascaria: A User's Guide Brazilian Steak House | Award-Winning Churrasco | Hot-Food Buffet | Caipirinha Cocktails | Fixed-Price Menu Sample Menu Entree: bacon-wrapped fillet Side: feijoada, a black-bean stew Dessert: passion-fruit mousse Cocktail: strawberry-basil caipirinha How it Works: During this all-you-can-eat fine-dining experience, customers are first seated at tables bedecked with white linens. Then, a server parades out a selection of 16 churrascaria meats, carving off a portion of skewered beef, lamb, pork, or chicken. A two-sided, colored coaster—green for "keep it coming," red for "I'm stuffed"—lets the staff know if you'd like seconds or thirds. Diners can also help themselves to the buffet of salad fixings and side dishes. Inside Tip: Vegetarians can skip out on the meat and pay a reduced price for the salad and sides buffets. The extensive salad bar is filled with traditional choices as well as tabbouleh and pickled shiitake, and the hot side dishes include a "mashed potato so smooth it could pass for crème fraîche," according to OC Weekly. Vocab Lesson Churrascaria: Brazilian-style barbecuing where the meat is skewered and cooked over an open flame or on a grill; the meat itself is called churrasco Rodízio: an all-you-can-eat style of service common in Brazilian restaurants Caipirinha: a Brazilian cocktail made with the sugarcane-based spirit cachaça and lime juice If You Can't Make It, Try This: Amazon Churrascaria BBQ Buffet (1445 S.
