Girl Scout Sells Record 18,107 Boxes, Says She Can Move Samoa
Dough-she-does, for sure.
When it comes to selling Thin Mints, Do-si-dos, Tagalongs and other Girl Scout cookies, all sixth-grader Katie Francis of Oklahoma City can seem to say is let me sell Samoa. (Rimshot!)
KOCO-TV in Oklahoma City shares the story of her sweet success:
"Katie ... a sixth-grader at Hefner Middle School, set a new cookie selling record Sunday night by selling 18,107 boxes [since sales began on Feb. 7].
" 'I was just really, really happy,' said Katie. 'I started dancing around. I was excited that I had made it.' "
What's her secret recipe?
As 12-year-old Katie told The Oklahoman last month, "there's three ingredients to selling cookies: There's lot of time, lots of commitment, and I have to ask everybody that I see (to buy)."
KOCO adds that "along with her mother, Katie pushes her wagon of cookies all over the Oklahoma City metro. ... The family's SUV is stuffed with boxes of cookies, so Katie can make a sell anywhere from school to dance class."
The previous record, according to ABC News, was 18,000 boxes over the approximately 7 weeks that sales last.
Katie, by the way, thinks she can sell 20,000 boxes next year.
According to The Associated Press, Katie's troop plans to donate part of the money it earns to breast cancer research groups.
She's not the only enterprising Girl Scout we've posted about during this cookie season. You may recall this post:

Capital One Corp. is still best known as a credit-card lender that spends a lot of money trying to convince consumers to borrow more. But the Virginia-based loan giant, which waged a costly effort to diversify in the 2000s, has also become one of the biggest lenders to Philadelphia construction projects.
The bank's growth here dates to the financial-collapse year of 2008, when it hired a team to build up its East Coast commercial real estate projects headed by veteran business banker Rick Lyon, who trained at the old Philadelphia National Bank and served its successors for 28 years.
Banks come and go, but lenders who specialize in developer loans soldier on. Deals by Lyon and his Philadelphia-area team headed by Glenn Gallagher include:

|Daughtry singles chronology
"September" is the third and final single from Daughtry's second album Leave This Town. This song was co-written by Chris Daughtry and Josh Steely. The mid-tempo ballad is inspired by Chris's childhood memories growing up with his brother in a small town in North Carolina.
This song was performed on American Idol on May 12, 2010. On June 11, 2010 September debuted at 30 in the Billboard Adult Pop songs.[1]
Daughtry wrote the riff for "September" while he was on tour with Bon Jovi.[2] His bandmate Josh Steely sent Daughtry some lyrical ideas and Chris sent back a lyric based on Steely's outline, which Steely said was "exactly what he was going for, remembering the summer and going back to school". According to Daughtry, "every time I hear that song it takes me back to my summers in Lasker. I loved growing up there, but I knew I'd have leave to make something of my life." The song's lines, "Yeah, we knew we had to leave this town / But we never knew when and we never knew how / We would end up here the way we are" inspired the album's title.[3] Daughtry wanted "September" as a single, and that it should be released "at the time of the year when it will have meaning".[2]
In media[edit]
On August 19, 20, 24, September 20 and October 19, 2010, "September" was played on Hollyoaks.
Music video[edit]
The music video was shot July 1, 2010[4] at the Stevens Center of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina [5] and premiered on Vevo on July 16, 2010. The band is shown performing on stage with photos and home videos of them projected behind them.
Chart performance[edit]
On the issue dated August 21, 2010, "September" became Daughtry's ninth single to reach the Billboard Hot 100. The single has sold 355,000 digital downloads as of November 24, 2010.[6] On the November 6, 2010 issue, the song reached its peak at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming their eighth top-40 single.[7]

My Windows XP was recently corrupted and my hard disk was password protected. In an effort to retrieve my old info I slaved my hard disk to a friends PC.
I changed the permissions on my old, slaved drive and all was well. I then installed a secondary 250 GB slave so I could backup the data on his 'D:' (primary slave) drive, which he promised to me after I was done.
Then, when I uninstalled my old drive, his primary slave was no longer present in 'My Computer'. I removed the new 250 GB drive, but his primary slave was still not visible.
I did a little research and found that I could reassign the drive letter to make it visible via the disk manager and reassigned the 'D:' designation. The drive is now visible, but it says that the disk is unformatted, which is obviously not true.
How can I rectify this without formatting the drive?

The latest movie theater news and updates

Orange County Register Profiles (Some Of) LA's Top Theaters
LOS ANGELES, CA — "Most of the great movie houses have disappeared. Even in Los Angeles, capital of the American movie industry, scores of grand theaters have been carved up, bulldozed away or converted into churches or 99-cent stores. A few are shuttered in the hope that someday they will be saved. The few lucky ones like the Pantages and the Wiltern have gone back to the future as live theaters or music venues.
But scattered around Southern California are a few remaining single-screen cathedrals of cinema where for $10 or so you're transported to another world even before the opening credits roll by…"

Yeadon Theater Repairs to Start Soon
YEADON, PA — Repairs should begin soon on the Yeadon Theatre, according to a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Demolition was halted last fall when preservationists discovered the theater was a possible landmark. A formal application to the state asking to have the theater nominated for the historic-places register is in the process of being completed.
HCPG Looks to Save Bells Opera House
HILLSBORO, OH — I have started a nonprofit preservation group, HCPG, whose purpose is to own, restore, and operate the 1895 Bells Opera House. We currently are seeking ownership, funding, and nonprofit status, working with our local congressman, and state representative in Ohio. It's been a nine month track for me of dreaming, learning, and working on a business concept.
Sometime between the 1920s and 1940s, the Opera turned into a theater… but we want to take it back to its origins. Any links or advice we could use? Any Angel money out there for our group? What a great website… it's nice knowing others are going through the same process.
Re-Opened Town Theater Thrives
FLORA, IL — The Town Theater opened last spring and is thriving by playing first run movies. Showtime Cinemas purchased the theater and has renovated it into two screens instead of one — to bring viewing pleasure to all.
The theater is currently opened Friday-Monday. Come check us out. And as always, we hope to see you at the movies…

Milwaukee's Oriental to Host Silent Film Weekend
MILWAUKEE , WI — The venerable Oriental Theatre will have another of its monthly 'Silents Please' series of not-so-silent movies this Saturday the 10th, titled: "The Last Laugh" (1924) starring Emil Jannings and it is an odd opus as this description from Maltin's Movie Guide makes clear:
"Silent film classic told entirely by camera, without title cards. Jannings plays proud doorman at posh hotel who is suddenly demoted; film details his utter and grievous humiliation. Brilliantly filmed …with a towering performance by Jannings."

Win Or Lose: Your Election Night Theme Song
It's been a long presidential election season, but it's almost over, and even if we don't know who's going to win, the end is in sight.
Let's pretend it's Tuesday night and you're on the couch following the returns, maybe clutching a drink or a loved one with your fingers crossed.
The big announcement comes.
There are two scenarios:
1. Your candidate for president wins! What song are you going to crank up?
2. Your candidate for president loses. What song will get you through it?
If my guy wins, I'll crank up "Celebration Day" by Led Zeppelin:
My, my, my, I'm so happy,
I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna sing and dance in celebration,
We are in the promised land.
If my guy loses, I'll reach for "All Things Must Pass" by George Harrison:
Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
Its not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Of course, there's a third scenario: The election's too close to call and drags on for weeks, in which case I'll have to reach for for more than just a shot of the funniest guy ever to make music, Spike Jones. "Clang, clang, who cares a dang?"
What's the difference when you're on a spree?
Over the teeth, behind the gums,
Look out stomach here she comes
Hi! Have another drink on me
How about you?

St Paul's Cathedral, the centrepiece of London, stages Margaret Thatcher's funeral on Wednesday, adding to a historic line of landmark national events held within its walls.
Rising 366 feet (112 metres) above the capital, Christopher Wren's masterpiece has been at the heart of national life in England for centuries.
Some of Britain's greatest heroes are entombed inside, while royal weddings, state funerals, memorials and celebrations have all taken place underneath its giant dome.
"St Paul's is London's cathedral and embodies the spiritual life and heritage of the British people," the Anglican Church says.
Its last great funeral was that of wartime prime minister Winston Churchill in 1965, the last of the few British subjects afforded a state funeral.
Previous war heroes Horatio Nelson, killed in the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar, and Battle of Waterloo victor the Duke of Wellington also had state funerals at St Paul's.
A million people watched Wellington's funeral procession in 1852.
Thatcher did not want a state funeral, so hers is a ceremonial funeral with full military honours -- though the differences are technical.
St Paul's famously staged the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Diana, chosen because it has more space than Westminster Abbey and offers a longer processional route through London.
More recently it staged the official celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II's golden and diamond jubilees in 2002 and 2012.
Wren's cathedral was built in the Renaissance style from Portland stone, the grey-white limestone used for many of London's major buildings, such as Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, the Bank of England and the National Gallery.
Sitting atop Ludgate Hill, the highest point within the historic city walls, certain sightlines of the cathedral are protected so that it can be seen across London.
The 555-feet (169-metre) long icon is on the site of previous St Paul's cathedrals.
The first, built in 604, caught fire and was rebuilt in stone in 902, which happened again under the Normans in 1087.
Four of Guido Fawkes' fellow Gunpowder Plotters were executed in the churchyard in 1607.
The Norman cathedral was destroyed in the 1666 Great Fire of London, after which Wren was commissioned to design its replacement.
His plans were approved in 1675, and construction was completed 35 years later in 1710.
Wren's own tomb lies in the crypt. It reads in Latin: "Reader, if you seek his monument, look around you."
Nelson and Wellington's tombs are also in the crypt.
St Paul's miraculously escaped major bomb damage during the Blitz in 1940, despite being hit 28 times. A picture of it unscathed amid the smoke proved inspirational.
US civil rights campaigner Martin Luther King preached there in 1964.
Services were held to remember victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States and the July 2005 London bombings.
A 15-year, £40 million programme of internal and external restoration was completed in 2011, cleaning up its blackened exterior.
St Paul's was back in the news in October that year when anti-capitalist protesters pitched tents outside and refused to leave for four months.
Thatcher, the churchgoing daughter of a Methodist preacher, was no stranger to the giant cathedral.
She attended the service remembering September 11 victims, and one in November 2004 for the inauguration of the cathedral's Churchill memorial gates.
Thatcher also attended a low-key service in April 2007 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Falklands War, one of the defining moments of her premiership.

US President Barack Obama arrived in the West Bank on Thursday to a more prickly welcome from Palestinian leaders than the warm embrace he won in Israel the day before.
Obama flew by helicopter over the barbed wire fences and walls of the Israeli separation barrier, before meeting Palestinian leaders dismayed by his failure to live up to expectations that he could help deliver them a state.
As Marine One touched down under a blazing sun, it kicked up a dust storm in the Muqataa presidential compound where a long line of dignitaries flanked by US and Palestinian flags lined the red carpet.
Obama was warmly greeted by Abbas, with the two inspecting an honour guard before disappearing into the compound for 90 minutes of talks.
The US president, on his first visit to the Holy Land since taking the White House in 2009, was expected to restate his vision of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, despite years of delays and disappointments.
Obama, who will later meet prime minister Salam Fayyad, is spending just under five hours in the occupied West Bank on the second day of a visit primarily aimed at easing tensions with Israel.
Despite the tight cordon of security around the Muqataa, around 150 Palestinian protesters could be seen trying to get near, shouting "Obama, you're not welcome here!" and "Obama, get out of Ramallah!"
Hours before leaving for Ramallah, the complications which would test any new US peace effort were underlined when two rockets fired by militants in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip slammed into southern Israel.
In only the second such attack since November, the rockets hit in Sderot, a border town which Obama visited on a previous trip to Israel as a presidential candidate in 2008.
The attack was condemned by Abbas, in a statement issued by his political adviser, Nimr Hammad.
"We condemn violence against civilians, whatever its source, including the firing of rockets," he said.
There was no immediate comment from the White House, and a senior Israeli official said the government would be watching closely to see if it would impact on Abbas's plans for political reconciliation with Gaza's Hamas rulers.
Earlier on Thursday, Obama went to the Israel Museum to view the Dead Sea Scrolls dating back more than two millennia and which include some of the earliest text from the Bible, in a move seen as a nod to the ancient roots of the Jewish state.
The visit was seen as a way of making up for Obama's comment in a 2009 speech to the Muslim world in which he said the Jewish homeland was rooted in the "tragic history" of the Holocaust.
Obama says he has come "to listen" to both sides about how to resume peace talks frozen for two-and-a-half years.
He decided against coming with a comprehensive peace plan that might not gel with current political conditions.
"Ultimately, this is a really hard problem," Obama said during a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday.
"It's been lingering for over six decades. And the parties involved have, you know, some profound interests that you can't spin, you can't smooth over. And it is a hard slog to work through all of these issues."
Obama's new approach was a stark contrast to early in his first term, when he declared Israeli settlement building to be illegitimate and promised to dedicate himself to peace.
In an op-ed published on Wednesday, Palestinian peace negotiator Nabil Shaath urged Obama to prove his commitment to a two-state solution by turning pledges into deeds.
"We could have saved lives and political capital if President Obama had shown the determination to create the right environment for meaningful decisions leading to a two-state solution," he wrote.
"Now, rather than calling for the resumption of a meaningless 'peace process,' we Palestinians expect real action on the ground."
Shaath said Obama had disappointed Palestinians who once warmed to his calls for an end to settlement building.
"President Obama appeared to give up on his goal," he said.
Netanyahu, however, on Wednesday re-committed to the notion of a two-state solution for the first time since he was re-elected in January, albeit in a weaker political position.
"Let me be clear: Israel remains fully committed to peace and to the solution of two states for two peoples," he said.
The Palestinians are hoping Obama will help broker the release of more than 1,000 prisoners held by Israel and also free up $700 million in blocked US aid.

NPR - A New QoS-Based Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
Ad-hoc on-demand networks have received a significant interest in the literature. Many routing schemes for such networks focus on finding an optimal path. In this paper, however, the authors consider the routing problem from the viewpoint of sustaining QoS (quality of service) requirement. Some algorithms such as MPDSR already have considered this problem in terms of the end-to-end reliability requirement. While the Multi-Path Dynamic Source Routing (MPDSR) algorithm is capable of resolving the issue to a certain extent, it only considers disjoint paths between a pair of source and destination nodes. In reality due to mobility of nodes there may not exist such disjoint paths.

News "Kerry Was Right"
posted by March 31 at 17:07 PMon
So says Matthew Dowd, George W. Bush's top campaign strategist in 2004.
In a wide-ranging interview here, Mr. Dowd called for a withdrawal from Iraq and expressed his disappointment in Mr. Bushs leadership.
He criticized the president as failing to call the nation to a shared sense of sacrifice at a time of war, failing to reach across the political divide to build consensus and ignoring the will of the people on Iraq. He said he believed the president had not moved aggressively enough to hold anyone accountable for the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, and that Mr. Bush still approached governing with a my way or the highway mentality reinforced by a shrinking circle of trusted aides.
I really like him, which is probably why Im so disappointed in things, he said. He added, I think hes become more, in my view, secluded and bubbled in.
In speaking out, Mr. Dowd became the first member of Mr. Bushs inner circle to break so publicly with him….
Mr. Dowd, a crucial part of a team that cast Senator John Kerry as a flip-flopper who could not be trusted with national security during wartime, said he had even written but never submitted an op-ed article titled Kerry Was Right, arguing that Mr. Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat and 2004 presidential candidate, was correct in calling last year for a withdrawal from Iraq.

Medicare Improper Payments:
Challenges for Measuring Potential Fraud and Abuse Remain Despite Planned Enhancements
T-AIMD/OSI-00-251: Published: Jul 12, 2000. Publicly Released: Jul 12, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Health Care Financing Administration's (HCFA) efforts to improve the measurement of improper payments in the Medicare fee-for-service program.
GAO noted that: (1) because it was not intended to include procedures designed specifically to identify all types of potential fraudulent and abusive activity, the current methodology does not provide an estimate of the full extent of improper Medicare fee-for-service payments; (2) HCFA has initiated three projects designed to further its measurement efforts which offer some promise for determining the extent of improper payments attributable to potential fraud and abuse; (3) based on careful evaluation of their effectiveness, performing additional potential fraud identification techniques as part of its efforts to measure improper payments could assist HCFA in arriving at a more comprehensive measurement and, ultimately, develop cost-effective internal controls to combat improper payments; and (4) however, no set of techniques, no matter how extensive, can be expected to measure all potential fraud and abuse.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Since GAO reported, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), formally know as HCFA, has experimented with various techniques for detecting potential fraud and abuse, including those identified by GAO as considered effective by health and fraud investigative experts. Specifically, CMS implemented the Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) pilot, a 2-year project ending in March 2002, that employed experts in statistical analysis to create a database of all claims for beneficiaries residing in three states and experiment with applying data mining, data sharing, and other innovative techniques to identify suspicious claims. According to CMS, the SAC pilot identified about $38 million in suspicious claims and demonstrated the benefit of applying statistical analysis to assess whether or not a potential pattern of abuse exists. As a result of the SAC pilot, CMS has gained experience with additional techniques that it can incorporate into its measurement methodologies to improve its analysis of underlying causes of improper payments and enhance future fraud and abuse detection.
Recommendation: To improve the usefulness of measuring Medicare fee-for-service improper payments, including those attributable to potential fraud and abuse, the Administrator, HCFA, should experiment with incorporating additional techniques for detecting potential fraud and abuse into methodologies used to identify and measure improper payments and then evaluate their effectiveness. In determining the nature and extent of additional specific procedures to perform, the overall measurement approach should: (1) recognize the types of fraud and abuse perpetrated against the Medicare program; (2) consider the relative risks of potential fraud or abuse that stem from the various types of claims; (3) identify the advantages and limitations of common fraud detection techniques and use an effective combination of these techniques to detect improper payments; and (4) consider, in consultation with advocacy groups, concerns of those potentially affected by their use, including beneficiaries and health care providers.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Health Care Financing Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: See related report (AIMD/OSI-00-281) for same recommendation. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) had planned to implement a Model Fraud Rate Project, designed to test the viability of identifying and measuring Medicare claims attributable to fraud and abuse. However, due to budget constraints, CMS has not implemented this project. CMS has however, created databases of sampled claims from its Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) program. CERT was established to produce an error rate for carriers, Durable Medical Equipment contractors (DMERCS), and fiscal intermediaries claims. The sampled claims can be used to evaluate underlying causes of improper payments including those claims that were paid incorrectly because of fraud and abuse. For example, CMS estimated that improper payments for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS), were over $900 million in fiscal year 2004. CMS pays contractors to investigate suppliers and help determine the extent to which improper payments are due to fraud and abuse. Contractors have developed some cases that have been referred for law enforcement and prosecution. These actions have helped CMS in understanding the causes of payment errors including those attributable to fraud.
Recommendation: To improve the usefulness of measuring Medicare fee-for-service improper payments, including those attributable to potential fraud and abuse, the Administrator, HCFA, should include in the methodologies' design, sufficient scope and evaluation to more effectively identify underlying causes of improper payments to develop appropriate corrective actions.

My Dad purchased and owned everything in his name including the house. The house was originally titled in his name alone. Then he took a reverse mortgage and the house was titled to a trust of which he is 1st and she is 2nd trustee. Yes he had alot of items which were his way before they even met and then the other items which were purchased when they were together he purchased with his money. I had an attorney and he wanted more money to continue and I didn't see where his services were accurate. It's funny that everyone thinks I haven't been represented by an attorney but you know there are good and bad attorney's just like good and bad car mechanics. I asked him all these questions, he never gave me a straight forward answer on it. He made me believe in the state of Georgia all of the Assets are entitled to the Estate since my Dad purchased all of them in his name. The House and all is in a phony trust that is not good. It say's irrevocable trust on the trust documents and not grantor, you cannot be the beneficiary of an irrevocable trust as a trustee. There is alot to dispute and as heirs we have the right to dispute it all in court. Also in the state of Georgia if there is a will it needs to be filed with the clerk or it's a misdemeaner offense. It also needs to be determined it'a a legal will because what we say it doesn't meet the criteria of a legal will in the state of Georgia.
Actually, you CAN be both a beneficiary and a trustee of an irrevocable trust, and unless someone trying to answer your question on this site has seen the trust we have no reason to think it isn't good. If a trust is actually the owner of the assets then neither the Temporary Administrator nor the probate court has any jurisdiction or power over the trust-owned assets. It does sound like you didn't get good advice. That's not a reason not to get a better lawyer. If you want to try to challenge the trust and the transfers made into it, you go to Superior Court, not probate court. It's not as easy as challenging the Will. Temporary Administrator has power only over assets which became part of your father's probate estate at his death, not assets which he had transferred to a trust before his death. You've got a big mess on your hands. Try to find a much better attorney and get some better advice, and best of luck to you.
Yes your on track, we would challenge the trust only because we know the trust creator was indicted by the department of Justice for creating scham trust and he fled the country never to be found. As Temporary Administrator the trust was created by my father and this man who was indicted (not like my Dad knew it was a scham at the time), and I should be able to get that as part of the Estate and find out. My Current issue is getting Access to the property or assets that Are part of the Estate. We won't make an all out effort for all the assets now until the judge assigns us a Permanent Administrator.
We have a mess now because we are trying to see if the Orders carry any bite meaning that the State of Georgia Probate Judge in Columbia County has issued orders to Collect and Preserve those asset which are in the possession of the heir who is not cooperating, how do we get the law to act on this to enforce the order. More law procedures in court, a hearing, a Baliff, a Sheriff ? What all you lawyer genious out there can tell me on this ?
This is a mulitple choice answer for all you law students. Please consider an answer based on Actual law and not opinion ?))
No Administrator, temporary or permanent, will be able to collect assets which are owned by a trust. This isn't an opinion. It is the law. If the house was transferred to a trust, very likely so were other assets, including your father's personal property. In that case, if his wife was listed as a trustee, she is under no legal obligation whatsoever to turn over trust assets to any Administrator of your father's estate. That's what you are facing here, based on the information you've put in your answers. You can't enforce your probate court order unless you can address the issue of whether assets are held by a trust.
Let's talk about the Trust since seem to have an Iron Curtain on trusts. A grantor Trust is a trust created by the asset owner and is controlled by Settler / Creator / Grantor, anyway this trust was not a grantor trust. The trust was created by Royce McCarley,
please feel free to look at the link here cut and paste it in your browser , or look up that name on the Internet, what you'll find is he was the Settlor / Creator / Grantor for a Trust Irrevocable. Royce McCarley was indicted by the DOJ for Creating Scham Trusts. This Trust was created by him. Next point. You cannot as a Trustee, transfer your own assets into an Irrevocable trust which you yourself are not the the Settlor / Creator / Grantor. In this case he was and as a trustee you must maintain the beneficiary's. In this case he made the Beneficiary another Trust and passed K1 Distributions to the other trust to an offshore trust and out of the Jurisdiction of the IRS. So this was not a Trust for My father to put his assets into, hahaha) in fact according to the IRS's definition of an Irrevocable trust that's illegal to do but he was told it was ok and he did it. All that needs to happen here is to go to court and explain it to the judge. That being said. The Trustee cannot control their own property or it's considered a Grantor Trust, this trust was defined as Trust Irrevocable. It's being operated incorrectly and used incorrectly and started by someone who is a known felon for creating Scham trusts. You can look at this case as well:
U.S. v. MCCARLEY, No. Criminal No. 3:03-CR-064-D (N.D.Tex. 07/11/2003) 5 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF, VS. ROYCE COLEMAN MCCARLEY, DEFENDANT. He lost the case because he defended himself and he walked out of court and left forever. They never found him either. Anyway the trust I'm speaking of was created by him and is illegal. Let's say it was illegal and the judge agreed. The assets would become part of the estate and then the right of survivorship in Georgia would allow what ? Here is a quote from you 2 years back : Therefore, the general rules in Georgia would mean that a joint bank account transfers automatically at one owner's death unless specifically stated otherwise, but jointly owned real estate does not transfer automatically unless the deed states specifically that it does. ? Any new changes ?

In the Gospel according to Luke, someone asks Jesus that question and he replies with the story of a man who was beaten and robbed and left on the side of the road.
One man who was busy passed by, saw the man, but hurried on. Another man passed by but didn't want to help him either. The third man who came along stopped to help. He bound up the man's wounds, put him on his own donkey and took him to an inn where he paid the innkeeper to care for him.
So who was the neighbor? The one who came alongside, the one who cared for someone else, he was the neighbor.
The proverbial apron strings started growing between my kids and me the moment they were born. I found I was their lifeline to love, safety, food and every other need they had. Those apron strings held tight all through their childhood and teen years. They grew stronger as I cooked, did laundry, drove back and forth to school, helped with homework and baked endless batches of cookies and loaves of banana bread. When they traveled off to Panama, Mexico, China and Russia on summer mission trips, I found that the apron strings were more like elastic.
I watched as she descended the stairs that curved around the small pond in the park. Her arm was tucked into the crook of her dad's arm and they were walking slowly. I could see them talking and sharing the moment, their smiles telling me that all was well. The sun peaked through the leaves for a brief moment and reflected off the beautiful beaded embellishments on her white dress. As they drew closer, I could see her freshly painted toes as her dress swayed back and forth. I realized that somewhere on the stairs, not surprisingly, she had abandoned her shoes.

wild heart goldendoodles and labradoodlesKSUnited Statesph: 785-217-7369alt: email@example.com
Our purpose is to raise healthy, loving, and socially well adapted puppies for companion pets. Occasionally we have puppies for sale as breeders at an additional fee. All our puppies are registered, either through American Canine Hybrid Club, Continental Kennel Club, or American Kennel Club. All our breeds are known for their low-to-no shed coat, high intelligence, health qualities, calm personalities, and their desire to please. They are great for people with allergies.
We have been raising miniature schnauzers since 2003 and began raising labradoodles after researching the hypoallergenic qualities of the breed. We try to update our website biweekly, so please check back frequently to see our new arrivals!
Each puppy has had its dewclaws removed, been dewormed, had age appropriate shots, and has been vet checked. Schnauzer puppies ears are left natural and tails are docked. Each puppy comes with a bill of sale, 4 day general health guarantee, 2 year genetic health guarantee, and registration available after neutering or spaying. We do sell to breeders occasionally for an additonal fee.
F1, F2, F3 Labradoodles or Goldendoodles
An F1 or F2 doodle is a cross between a labrador retriever or golden retriever and a poodle, making the pups 50% retriever and 50% poodle. There is a 50% chance they will not shed. These doodles can have wool(tightly curled), fleece(wavy to loose curls), or hair(straight) coats. All doodles are very social and loyal dogs.
F1b Labradoodles or Goldendoodle
An F1b doodle is a cross between an F1 doodle and a poodle. F1b's have a greater tendency to be nonshedding and hypoallergenic than an F1 or F2 doodle because they are 75% poodle. They tend to inherit the temperament of the retriever. Most F1b doodles have a fleece coat. We do have puppies with a hair coat occasionally.
Multi-generational Labradoodle or Goldendoodle
A multi-generational doodle is a third generation doodle or higher. They are bred to try to obtain a greater degree of the desirable traits-nonshedding and hypoallergenic-of the breed. They are of pleasant temperament, very social, and loyal companions. We have worked for many years to get high quality, nonshedding multigenerationals that are 88% poodle, yet have the desirable fleece coat doodles are known for and wonderful personality of a retriever.
Miniature Schnauzers
All of our miniature schnauzers are registered with the American Kennel Club and meet their breed standard. Occassionally we have a smaller puppy. Miniature schnauzers are a nonshedding, hypoallergenic breed.
Pictured below are F1b labradoodle puppies from our past litters.

The Paoli Wildcat Basketball League is a non-profit community-based program for boys (grades 4-7) and girls (grades 4-8) residing in the Tredyffrin/Easttown and Great Valley School Districts, located in the northern/western suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Adult volunteers committed to providing instruction and recreation for young players of all skill levels have operated the league since the mid 1960's.

Important Information about ICBA "B" teams:
The Wildcat Board had a long discussion this fall about our ICBA B teams. From our charter in 1963 the primary focus of the Wildcat program is the regular program which started as 8 senior teams and 8 junior teams and no separate girls program. That was 160 players. We now have 14 senior teams and 16 junior teams in the regular programs. That is an increase of 6 boys teams or 25% just in the last three years. There are also 10 junior girls teams and 10 senior girls teams. Those 50 teams serve 500 players between 9 and 12 in the TE school district. At the same time the use of gyms by school programs, such as volleyball, and by outside individual teams continues to reduce our flexibility in scheduling all the games and practices for our junior and senior programs for both genders.
All ICBA teams play a twelve game outside league schedule during the regular Wildcat season schedule. Every year, once the ICBA schedule comes out we have to take the ICBA away games (six per team), figure out what players are involved and try to adjust our schedule to avoid conflicts. That is a total rescheduling project that becomes more difficult with each new team and each lost gym option. It is not just the game times for away games we have to consider but in most instances an hour or more on each side of the away game to account for travel. Since we insist that players play in the regular program where there is a conflict, it is a matter of trying to keep players available for ICBA games, especially on Saturdays. And we cannot expand the ICBA rosters since the ICBA limits a team roster to 12 players.
Looking at just the boys, with 30 senior/junior boys teams there are 15 regular Wildcat games to schedule every Saturday. Many Saturdays we do not get TE Middle School until almost noon and we have to share Valley Forge Middle School with the Valley Forge League and its program for 13-15 yr old boys. If we had continued with A and B ICBA teams for the 10, 11 and 12 year old levels, the 72 players on those six
teams would have been spread across the 30 boys Wildcat teams and we could not have successfully scheduled without a multitude of conflicts causing us to choose each time which players miss which ICBA games. We should not be making such choices. So the natural solution was to limit the conflicts and only field A teams in the ICBA. The Board unanimously adopted that policy. It is in keeping with our mission.
That does not mean that we are unconcerned about trying to provide higher level experience for a broader spectrum of our players. It just means that the ICBA is not the right venue. Prior to the ICBA we only had a 13 yr old travel team that played in a league during our regular season. But since there was no 13 year old Wildcat program, there were no conflicts. The 10s, 11s and 12s would select tournament teams, both A and B, in late January and those teams would play in tournaments in late February and March both locally and in Hershey. We are discussing going back to that pre-ICBA template for the 10Bs, 11Bs, and 12Bs and hope to institute that program this year. We will put more out on that as it comes into focus.
So it is clear that the Board will not revisit the one ICBA team per age level as long as we have a growing and strong intramural program. The conflicts are unresolvable as long as the ICBA dictates the ICBA schedule and leaves us to adapt and adjust despite our inflexible gym situation. But we are working on continuing additional outside play opportunities for more teams and believe we will be able to make something work, hopefully this year.

Was you evox shadhboard named xboxdash.xbe? If so xbox live was just doing what it was meant to do. You need to make sure you evox is named evoxdash.xbe. You can use any evox to boot up just make a disc and your set.

Levi Johnston Is the 'Most Unpopular Person' Alaskan Polling Agency Has Ever Encountered
Johnston for Wasilla Mayor 2011!
Until this week, former senator John Edwards — who cheated on his terminally cancer-stricken wife and lied about having conceived a child out of wedlock while running for president — was the most unpopular politician that Public Policy Polling had ever asked about among survey responders in Alaska. The crown now goes to Wasilla mayoral candidate Levi Johnston, who is viewed unfavorably by 72 percent of Alaskans and favorably only by 6 percent. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the persistent thorn in GOP superstar Sarah Palin's side is twice as popular among Democrats. [NYDN]

"This is not my car" Top 5 Page for this destination Vannes by alza
Vannes Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 83 photos
One year, I went to the Netherlands with my boyfriend and we drove all over the place. Wonderful. I didn't sleep much cuz he's hypocondriac and couldn't sleep so kept screaming out in the night "If I can't sleep, I may as well die. I'll never make it through tomorrow!"
Then he went back home to work and I went back to Bordeaux for a month's holiday.
My friend there said "where do you want to go?" I said "Brittany!" and off we went. But she's French and wasn't interested in the old things I liked... or in sitting at a caf� to watch people go by. Every time I sat down for a beer and a jambon sandwich, she'd fret that I would spoil my appetite for lunch.
There are hundreds of fascinating cemetaries all over Brittany, full of strange stone monuments. I caught a glimpse of every one of them as she sped through... then she said "Oh, did you want to stop here?!" So not many pics... haha. Stick to travelling on your own... I hate being rushed. :-)
The public place to wash clothes is my fondest memory of Vannes. A real old covered building, where you are transported back into the Middle Ages.
St-Pierre Cathedral is in the background. I miss France...

- Put the ham hock in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Slowly bring to a boil over high heat, skimming the surface as necessary. Reduce the heat to low, add the bouquet garni, half the onions and the hot pepper. Re-cover the pan again and simmer for 21/2 hours, or until the meat is very tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
- Place a colander over a large heatproof bowl and strain the cooking liquid. Reserve the liquid and set the ham hock aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a medium heat. Add the remaining onions and cook for 5 minutes until softened but not browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rice.
- Stir in 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid, the beans and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove the meat from the ham hock and cut into large chunks; discard skin and bones.
- Remove the casserole from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes, covered. Use a fork to stir in the ham. Pile the mixture onto a large serving platter and serve with hot pepper sauce on the side.
- prep 12 mins; cook 3-31/2 hrs
Spicy Hoppin' John: Tomatoes make a good addition to the basic recipe and will make the dish go further. Simply add one 14.5oz (400g) can of chopped tomatoes, drained, in step 4. For extra spice, you can also add a good pinch of Cajun or Creole seasoning.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Quite a few fans hadn't even found their seats yet when North Carolina defensive end Richard Quinn rudely introduced himself to Boston College quarterback Dave Shinskie, combining with Marvin Austin to pop the ball loose and drive the Eagles back 11 yards.
Six minutes later, following a lengthy North Carolina drive, Austin and defensive end E.J. Wilson collapsed the pocket around the Eagles'
freshman quarterback, forcing another fumble that defensive tackle Cam Thomas returned for a touchdown.
"Every time I would try to go around or step up or something, there was another guy there," Shinskie said.
But the Tar Heels sacked Shinskie only once more after that in their 31-13 win over the Eagles. BC's offensive linemen generally handled the four defensive linemen that came after them, allowing just one second-half sack to a defense that's put as much pressure on opposing quarterbacks as any in the ACC. When Austin dropped Shinskie for a 10-yard loss late in the fourth quarter, it was the Tar Heels' first sack since the opening minutes of the first quarter.
Still, though, the BC quarterback never found a way to step up in the pocket and throw with the kind of confidence he showed earlier this season.
In the Eagles' first six home games, all victories, Shinskie threw 10 touchdown passes and just two interceptions. On Saturday, he threw two interceptions before halftime.
"I was getting good protection, it seemed like," Shinskie said. "I don't know if I was wary of those guys because they were coming in hard all day. I didn't get enough on it. I didn't get enough zip on the ball. I was kind of floating the ball over the middle, and you can't do that. You can't throw the ball over the middle late. That's what happens: You get interceptions."
All four of his interceptions, in fact, seemed to play out in similar fashion:
• Kendric Burney jumped in front of a pass intended for wide receiver Colin Larmond midway through the first quarter -- a pass that hung up just long enough for Burney to get himself in position.
• Deunta Williams snatched a high throw that sailed through the hands of tight end Chris Pantale over the middle of the field midway through the second quarter.
• Cornerback Charles Brown went up and deflected a pass intended for wide receiver Rich Gunnell late in the third quarter -- and Williams, trailing the play, snatched it out of the air.
• Aiming for Gunnell over the field once more late in the fourth quarter, Shinskie put too much air under the ball and dropped it right into the hands of Williams, who came a yard short of returning it for a touchdown.
It wasn't just an issue of interceptions, either. Shinskie had a chance to hit a wide-open Gunnell down the right sideline early in the third quarter, a pass that could have turned into a big play or even a game-tying touchdown. But the quarterback lofted the ball too far ahead of his wide receiver, and the Eagles had to punt.
Shinskie refused to blame a thumb injury or any other health issue for the lack of zip on his passes. Something, though, wasn't right.
"I don't know if it was my thumb or if I was throwing off my back foot," he said. "I'll have to look at the film and see."
BC coach Frank Spaziani kept giving his quarterback a chance to win the game. Running back Montel Harris had 17 carries for 88 yards in the first half -- an average of 4.9 yards per carry -- but carried the ball just six times in the second half. The Eagles actually threw the ball more times (11) than they ran it (nine) in the third and fourth quarters.
"We thought we could move the ball, to throw it," Spaziani said.
"There was some stuff there. We thought that was the best way to get it done."
The result, though, was as bad an offensive game as the Eagles have had all year. They finished with 143 total yards, including just 93 passing yards from Shinskie, and they went 0-for-13 on third-down opportunities. "It wasn't pretty," Spaziani said.
As the Tar Heels returned Shinskie's second interception, Austin took the opportunity to drive the Eagles'
quarterback to the turf. The 305-pound defensive tackle then fell on Shinskie and even seemed, if inadvertently, to kick him in the helmet as he was getting up.
It was that kind of day for Shinskie, who will have a week to figure out how to bounce back from one of the ugliest games of his college career thus far.
"He'll bounce back the way he bounced back the last time he had a disaster," Spaziani said. "We'll coach him. We'll take the positive away from it. We'll try to correct what we did wrong. There was some pressure on him and some other things that caused it, and, obviously, Dave didn't play the way he needed to play."

Creating Controller Objects and Controller Extensions
If a driver uses a controller object, it must call IoCreateController after it has created device objects and its device is ready for I/O, typically after receiving a PnP IRP_MN_START_DEVICE request. The following figure illustrates the call.
Every controller object has an associated controller extension. As the previous figure shows, the caller of IoCreateController determines the Size of the controller extension. Its structure and contents are driver-defined.
In addition to whatever device-specific state information the driver maintains about the physical controller (or device with channels), the previous figure shows a representative set of driver-defined data for a controller extension.
The PtrToControllerObject pointer, returned by IoCreateController, must be passed in the driver's calls to IoAllocateController and IoFreeController, described in Allocating Controller Objects for I/O Operations. The driver must store the returned controller object pointer in the device extensions of its driver-created device objects or in another driver-accessible resident storage area (nonpaged pool, allocated by the driver). If the driver is unloaded, it also must pass the controller object pointer to IoDeleteController.
Most drivers that set up controller objects find it convenient to store a pointer to the current target device object or device extension in the controller extension. Usually, such a driver stores the controller object pointer in every one of its device extensions so that it can use the ControllerObject->ControllerExtension pointer to access driver-maintained, controller-specific state about I/O operations for every target device object.
If the physical controller represented by a controller object generates interrupts, a driver also can use the controller extension as storage for PtrToInterruptObject pointers returned by IoConnectInterrupt. For more information, see Interrupt Service Routines.
IoCreateController allocates resident storage for the controller object and extension, which it initializes with zeros. If it cannot allocate the memory, IoCreateController returns a NULL pointer. If this occurs, the driver must fail device startup and should return STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES.
