Oct. 11, 2012
YES ON FLORIDA SUPREME COURT JUSTICES-- Tampa Bay Times, editorial, http://www.tampabay.com, Oct. 11, 2012. [Also: RETAIN FOUR COURT OF APPEAL JUDGES-- Tampa Bay Times, editorial, http://www.tampabay.com, Oct. 11, 2012].
The first editorial states: "The merit retention questions on Florida Supreme Court justices are generally routine and attract little attention, because the court is well respected and has operated without scandal for decades. This year is different. This year, three justices are under an unprecedented political assault . . . Floridians should reject this attempt to intimidate and politicize the state's highest court, and they should retain Justices R. Fred Lewis, Barbara J. Pariente and Peggy A. Quince." The second editorial states: "Four 2nd District Court of Appeal judges also are on the Nov. 6 ballot for merit retention: Judges Anthony K. Black, Darryl C. Casanueva, Charles A. Davis Jr. and Edward C. LaRose. Two pieces of information are instructive. . . . . A check of [ Judicial Qualifications Commission] records found that none of the jurists up for merit retention have had formal charges brought against them while in their current positions. Second, the Florida Bar poll of more than 7,800 lawyers asked those with at least limited knowledge of the judges whether they should be retained. On the 2nd DCA, each of the four judges won at least 92 percent support for merit retention. On all four merit retention questions for the 2nd District Court of Appeal, the Tampa Bay Times recommends a yes vote."
GOP VS. MERIT RETENTION-- The Ledger, editorial, http://www.theledger.com, Oct. 11, 2012.
The editorial states: ". . .The state [Republican] party announced Sept. 21 that its executive board had voted to oppose the three Florida Supreme Court justices on the ballot for merit retention in the Nov. 6 general election. Tuesday, [Gov. Rick] Scott supported the state party in the matter, reported The Miami Herald. . . .Merit retention is a yes-or-no vote on whether a judge should continue on the bench. The change in the Florida Constitution was an important part of the solution for corruption that had grown out of judicial elections in Florida. . . . Scott knows better than to back away from the principle of judicial neutrality. He is a lawyer. Thankfully, three other prominent Republican lawyers in Florida are pushing back against the state party. Former U.S. attorneys Roberto Martinez and Marcos Jimenez — and Allison DeFoor, a former judge and former candidate for lieutenant governor — wrote a letter Oct. 1 calling on the state party's executive board to reverse its decision, reported The Herald."
AMENDMENT 5 WILL RESTORE BALANCE TO STATE GOVERNMENT-- The Gainesville Sun, column, http://www.gainesville.com, Oct. 11, 2012.
The guest column by outgoing Speaker of the House Dean Cannon states: "The genius of the American system comes from the recognition that the power of government should be structured and constrained. This November, Floridians, by voting for Amendment 5, will have the opportunity to adopt an appropriate system of checks and balances for our state's judicial and legislative branches."
NEW TV SPOT DEFENDS JUSTICES-- The Palm Beach Post, http://www.palmbeachpost.com, Oct. 9, 2012. [Also: JUDICIAL DEFENSE GROUP GOES ON AIR-- Orlando Sentinel, http://www.orlandosentinel.com, Oct. 9, 2012; FLORIDA SUPREME COURT JUSTICES' RETENTION FIGHT TAKES TO AIRWAVES-- Daily Business Review, http://www.dailybusinessreview.com, Oct. 11, 2012 {Subscription required}.]
From The Palm Beach Post: An organization supporting three Florida Supreme Court justices facing merit retention this fall began running a TV spot Tuesday criticizing "politicians in Tallahassee" looking to overhaul the court. The ad, by Defend Justice from Politics, is airing a spot in West Palm Beach, Miami and Tampa markets that condemn the push to defeat the last three justices appointed by a Democratic governor. The spot calls it a "political power grab." Justices Barbara Pariente, Fred Lewis and Peggy Quince are facing what is shaping up as the most vigorous merit retention fight in Florida history.
COURTS SEEK PAY RAISES, BUDGET HIKE-- The Florida Current, http://www.thefloridacurrent.com, Oct. 11, 2012.
The state courts system is looking for a $35.7 million budget increase in next year's legislative session, including a 3.5 percent pay raise for employees of Florida's judicial branch. In a brief public hearing Wednesday [Oct. 10], chief budget officer Dorothy Wilson of the Office of State Courts Administrator also outlined a lengthy wish list of long-overdue building repairs for the state facilities that include the Supreme Court and four District Courts of Appeal, along with program needs in the trial and appellate courts. The 8.2 percent requested increase, already approved by the Supreme Court as head of the judicial branch, will be submitted to the Legislature next week. State employees have not had a general pay raise in nearly six years. Wilson said average salaries in the court system are nearly 10 percent below those for other employees.
--Civil Justice Issues--
VOTING ADVICE-- Tallahassee Democrat, editorial, http://www.tallahassee.com, Oct. 11, 2012.
The editorial states: "It wouldn't be a Florida election without a little excitement involved in the counting of ballots. . . . Down in Palm Beach County . . . there are problems again. Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher is blaming a printing company in Arizona for a mistake on 60,000 absentee ballots that could confuse voters on an important question — whether to retain three Supreme Court justices. . . . Any confusion on the retention vote could be important, with Justices Barbara Pariente, Peggy Quince and R. Fred Lewis being targeted by the Republican Party of Florida. . . . The problem is that, with a large number of national, state and local races, as well as constitutional ballots and local referendums, this ballot is a monster. . . .So here's some advice. Study the ballot carefully before you vote. . . . Consider early voting, to avoid possible lines on Election Day. . . . And put 65 cents worth of postage on your absentee ballot."
PLEASE DON'T STOP AT THE TOP-- Florida Voices, column, http://www.floridavoices.com, Oct. 11, 2012. [Also: ABOUT ALL THOSE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS-- Osceola News Gazette, column, http://www.aroundosceola.com, Oct. 11, 2012; WADING THROUGH THE AMENDMENTS-- West Volusia Beacon, http://www.beacononlinenews.com, Oct. 11, 2012].
The Florida Voices guest column by former State Sen. Dan Gelber states: "When you review your ballot either in the mail or at the polls, you might think it unusually long and confusing. . . .While you may be most passionate about the race for president, it's critical that you not stop making your choices there. Down the ballot, you'll also see some important 'yes' or 'no' questions, some related to proposed constitutional amendments, others to the retention of three Florida Supreme Court justices. The constitutional amendments mostly deserve 'no' votes. But the judicial justices deserve a resounding 'Yes.'"
The Osceola News Gazette guest column by Sen. Paula Dockery, R-Lakeland, states: "The Nov. 6 general election ballot is very lengthy. The culprit – 11 proposed constitutional amendments added by the Florida Legislature. . . . Two are most troubling. Amendment 3, referred to as TABOR, was tried in Colorado with dismal consequences. . . . Then there's Amendment 5, which would further blur the line between two separate but equal branches of government -- the legislature and the courts. It would give the Florida Senate the power to confirm Florida Supreme Court justices, the people who will rule on the constitutionality of laws that senators pass. This change could have a chilling effect on the independence of the court and lead to its politicization."
The West Volusia Beacon article details supporting and opposing views of all 11 amendments. From the article: No. 5. State Courts. This would require that Supreme Court justices appointed by the governor must also be confirmed by the Florida Senate before taking office. The amendment would also allow the Legislature to repeal a court rule by a simple majority vote instead of the two-thirds majority now required. This proposed amendment has sparked a firestorm of controversy. Critics say it would put the courts under the Legislature's control, eliminating separation of powers, and that it would subject the nonpartisan courts to partisan political pressures.
SAM GIBBONS, CONGRESSMAN AND 'TRUE AMERICAN HERO,' DIES AT AGE 92-- Tampa Bay Times, http://www.tampabay.com, Oct. 11, 2012. [Also: SAM GIBBONS, TAMPA'S HERO-- The Tampa Tribune, editorial, http://www.tbo.com, Oct. 11, 2012; FORMER FLORIDA REP. SAM GIBBONS, WHO SPEARHEADED USF, DIES AT 92-- The Bradenton Herald, http://www.bradenton.com, Oct. 11, 2012].
From the Tampa Bay Times: Sam Melville Gibbons, a World War II hero who in 44 years as a legislator left a lasting imprint on social programs, world trade, health care and a raft of improvements for the Tampa Bay area, died early Wednesday, his family said. He was 92. Gibbons was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1952, the Florida Senate in 1958 and to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1962. Before his retirement from Congress, he served as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Through five decades, Gibbons never lost an election. His sweeping resume includes expanding Tampa's physical boundaries; sponsoring the bill that started the University of South Florida; helping to start the Southwest Florida Water Management District; and lining up votes for the country's first Head Start program. Gibbons went to the University of Florida in 1938 but left before his senior year to join the Army. He was a 24-year-old captain in the 101st Airborne Division on June 6, 1944, the first day of the Allied invasion of France. He left the service after five years, having earned a Bronze Star and four battle stars. He returned to the University of Florida and graduated with a law degree. He was admitted to The Florida Bar in 1947.

A statement prepared based on the second CEE Leadership and Policy Summit at Lake Forest College, IL, June 2007
Professors of English Education work at colleges or universities to prepare, mentor, supervise, and offer professional development for preservice and inservice language arts teachers while engaging in research into curriculum and instruction of English. This research often connects studies in English, reading, literature, composition, and theory, with language arts teaching in the public schools and colleges. Stephen North claims that there are 3,500 institutions in the United States hiring English professors and only 140 that produce doctoral graduates (p.61). Similar numbers can be put forward regarding departments and colleges of Education. There are more universities with need for English education faculty than there are doctoral graduates being produced.
Our strand pursued a range of questions to consider relating to doctoral education in English education. Those questions could be identified in two broad areas:
English Education professors have historically played a major role in the formation of English education as a discipline and in the activities and governance of the National Council of the Teacher of English, (NCTE), the International Reading Association (IRA), and the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and their affiliates. Because they are closely related fields, composition specialists often have responsibility for English education programs, and English Education has a component group in the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC).
As English educators conduct research and write articles and books for scholarly journals and professional teachers, they shape the teaching of English, often emerging as key figures in local, state, and national debates and policy decisions. Typically these faculty have public school teaching experience, graduate and doctoral level degrees in English education, and extensive knowledge about the teaching of literature, language, and composition. In many institutions, methods courses taught by English education professors are required by state and national accrediting institutions, such as the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
These professors may become involved in the leadership of NCTE and IRA and active members in the Conference on English Education (CEE), their professional home. Indeed the CEE was founded, in part, to address the development of doctoral programs in English education (Webb, manuscript, chapter 10). Although professors do come to these responsibilities from various backgrounds, we believe that English education professors, whether located in English or in education departments, are best prepared in doctoral programs in English or literacy education because such preparation in the humanities (and, more specifically, English language and literature) provides English educators with the background to strengthen preservice teachers' mastery of content-area knowledge in the English language arts.
(How do Eng Ed doctoral programs function? Where are they located and what are there epistemological foundations?)
The rich and evolving question of what doctoral programs in English education should consist of has seen only scant investigation in the literature since Dwight Burton's article in the second CEE newsletter in 1968. No published books address this topic. (It does not come up in either Andrea Lunsford's The Future of Doctoral Studies in English (1989) or in Stephen North's Refiguring the Ph.D. in English Studies: Writing, Doctoral Education, and the Fusion-Based Curriculum (2000).) Although there was a discussion about doctoral education in English Education at the time of the founding of the CEE in the 1970s, the topic has hardly been addressed in the last thirty years. An article written in English Education by Martha Young in 2000 drawing on the work of a CEE commission discusses in broad terms the qualifications for English teacher educators. Another piece on mentoring of doctoral students by Stephen Koziol and his graduate students appeared in the same journal in 2003.
Yet, how doctoral programs in English education are constructed shapes the entire discipline of English education. Our interdisciplinary field draws on both social science and humanities paradigms, on qualitative, quantitative, and classroom-based research. Doctoral programs in English education and related fields are found in both colleges of education and English departments, and sometimes in joint or collaborative forms. These programs are configured in a variety of ways, stressing different approaches to research, different types of dissertations, and a variety of doctoral student experiences from school-based research, to teaching methods courses, to participation in community grant projects. Given the limitations of our time together at the CEE Summit in Lake Forest, we were not able to explore this important dimension of our charge. Our strand believes that continued conversation about the content, structure, and focus of doctoral degrees in English education and related programs needs to take place and become a regular feature of CEE meetings and publications.
(There is a shortage—why and how did this happen? What does it mean?)
There is clearly a long-term need and developing crisis in the production of English education professors. Tenure track positions for professors of English education have for many years been short on applicants. As Baird Shuman wrote in 1972, "At the present time, it is a fairly well acknowledged fact that the Ph.D. in English is a glut on the market. However, the job market for the person with a doctorate in English Education is not quite so bad." Or James Papp thirty years later (in 2001), "…Begs the question of why doctoral programs are not producing more people with comp, tech writing and English ed qualifications and why they continue to produce several hundred candidates with qualifications narrowly confined to, say, Victorian Literature (my own doctoral field) for every matching job." Webb's research (2005) into the job market for English education professors in English departments indicated that half of the positions went unfilled due to lack of candidates in 2001–2. Extensive and continuing anecdotal evidence from both universities seeking applicants and new PhD's on the job market indicates that this shortage continues to exist.
As noted above, North claims that there are 3,500 institutions in the United States hiring English professors and only 140 that produce doctoral graduates (p.61). Similar numbers can be put forward regarding departments and colleges of Education. Whereas English professors in many specialties may enter a highly competitive job market, in the specific case of English education there are clearly far more universities with potential need for English education faculty than there are institutions producing doctoral graduates in this specialized area. If this market place is promising for new English education PhDs seeking positions either in English or education departments, it is, at the same time, troubling. As long as there is not a sufficient pool of PhD candidates, faculty positions in the field will erode, and the standards for the preparation of new English teachers will be jeopardized.
The shortage of faculty is leading universities to eliminate tenure lines in English education, replace regular faculty in English education with part time or adjunct faculty, and reduce hiring requirements in the field. Given the important work that English education faculty perform, the loss and downgrading of these positions has serious and disturbing consequences for our field. A shortage of English education PhDs undermines the vital link between universities preparing teachers and the public schools themselves. It diminishes the pool of highly qualified people to guide practicing teachers toward quality reading and research in English education and provide relevant inservice education. Many dissertations written by teachers in doctoral programs in English education in modified form have become published professional books powerfully influencing the profession. The shortage threatens teacher professional organizations such as NCTE that has relied heavily on people with PhDs in English education for direction and leadership.
Because of the diverse opportunities for those who earn doctoral degrees in English education, in public schools, in universities, in curriculum and administrative positions, in departmental leadership, etc., a "glut on the market" for the degree is unlikely. As Ben Nelms, an elder statesman in the profession, put it, a PhD in English education "virtually assures good employment opportunities for doctoral graduates who happen to finish at a time when college/university hiring is down . . . or who, for whatever reason (marriage, family, personal preference) are unwilling to move to the part of the country where positions may be available in any given year." We believe that the shortage of new PhDs in English education has serious consequences for our academic field, and the CEE needs to undertake a sustained effort to recruit and support doctoral students in English education.
(Now that we know there is a shortage, what might we do?—transition into rest of the belief statement supporting the life cycle approach of pre-, during-, and post-doctoral studies)
Participants in the Doctoral Strand at the CEE summit at Lake Forest, believe that doctoral education in English education can best be supported by close examination of three phases of doctoral education, recruitment and application, during the program, and exiting the program. This is consistent with the life-cycle approach outlined in "Becoming Centered: CEE Membership and Program Development" statement from the special issue of English Education, Reconstructing English Education for the 21st Century: A Report on the CEE Summit, especially pages 390–392.
Taken in sum, our changing understanding of the English Education doctoral degree as well as the immediate and long-term outlook for the job market in our field leads us to recommend three immediate actions that CEE should pursue and which will be elaborated throughout the rest of this document:
To recruit and support doctoral students in English education the CEE needs to develop materials to help prospective students understand why and how to choose doctoral studies in English education, identify and mentor candidates, and help them identify and select appropriate doctoral programs. We recommend that a website, or section of the CEE website be created for these specific purposes. Additional recommendations are specifically spelled out below:
Develop Materials to Help Prospective Students Understand Why and How to Choose Doctoral Studies in English Education
Identifying and Mentoring Candidates
Choosing a Specific Program
To support doctoral students during their studies the CEE needs to attend to their entrance into the discourse and professional structures of the field, their engagement with the broad range of doctoral student course work and activities, the writing of the dissertation, and preparation to enter into the job market. Recommendations are specifically spelled out below:
Entrance into the discourse and professional structures of the field:
In the Process of a Doctoral Program:
Dissertation Writing
Throughout a Doctoral Program:
Exiting a Doctoral Program:
To support doctoral students as they exit their programs and begin the profession the CEE needs to attend to helping doctoral students prepare for the job search, begin their new jobs and adopt new professional personas, and develop their research and publication agendas. Recommendations are specifically spelled out below:
Job Search
Beginning a New Job/Adopting a Professional Persona
Researching and Publishing
To begin addressing these concerns the Doctoral Stand working in close collaboration with the CEE Graduate Student Organization has prioritized needs and developed an Immediate Action Plan (see below). We believe the specific proposals of the Immediate Action Plan be brought to the CEE Executive Committee and adopted by them at their next meeting in fall of 2007 in New York City. We also believe that the unpublished manuscript edited by Allen Webb and including 16 chapters by 35 different contributors does include many chapters addressing the content of English education doctoral programs and could also serve as an important resource to recruit new doctoral students and support them through their programs. Publication and marketing of this book should be supported by the CEE. Given the lack of attention to doctoral education, this book provides a needed service to the English education community. Making comprehensive information about doctoral degrees in the field available to a broad audience is a critical step in addressing both the quantity and quality of English teachers, leaders, and faculty.
As representatives of CEE, we believe that facilitating the recruitment and development of doctoral students is imperative to the sustainability of our organization and discipline. This point is most evident by the startling statistics involving the national shortage of English Educators, unfilled job searches, and lost tenure-track job lines. Therefore, we propose the following ways that the CEE can assist the recruitment and development of doctoral education in English Education:
The strand wishes to thank the organizers of the CEE Summit II for creating a context for extensive and important work and reflection on the present and future of our discipline, in particular for attention paid to the crucial role of doctoral studies in English education.

Skiing, the trail took this big loop, but there was what looked like a great shortcut! I just had to go down one hill and back up the next to rejoin the trail. To make it back up without climbing, I clearly had to retain as much speed as possible. So zoom I go down, and then when I expected to transition at top speed from going down to heading back up, it was just like a cartoon: skis stuck right into the bank of the up-bound slope, and DOINNG! skis stop dead, I keep going, projected out of the bindings and through the air. Busted an arm. | |

The décor and colors tones used both in furniture selection and furnishings texture tend to be colorful but in soft way. Begin from small simple terrace balcony, the interior living room open to outdoor with series of glass walls and sliding doors. Bright colors of blue lines pattern rugs contrast with soft palette sofa furniture and walls. This living area connects in open plan with dining room, kitchen, and TV area which connect to built-in work desk. A wooden partition wall between terrace living space and TV area really interesting functioned as partition, storage display of vase collection, and TV rack at other side. Dark tiles as basic flooring make the furnishings items color arise, cheerful sensation achieved. Dark brown wooden ceiling become space mark for dining and whiteness kitchen with other areas. Strong orange and dark blue tones applied in children living and play area, also in the children bedroom. Stylish compact wooden bunk bed with built in storage very interesting.

#1 Another DNA "checkpoint" (Reading)

12-18-2013, 04:06 AMThese are blatantly Unconstitutional. A private company contracted by the Feds stops motorists who have done nothing wrong and takes DNA swabs. One man refuses and it takes 5 minutes before these people let him go. There are a number of these that have gone over over the past year.
Motorist checkpoint in Reading draws questions
By Don Spatz
A private firm with a federal contract - and backed up by city police - forced motorists off Laurel Street and into a private parking lot Friday to question them about their driving habits and ask for a swab of their mouth.
"I feel this incident is a gross abuse of power on many levels," Reading resident Ricardo Nieves, one of those stopped, told City Council Monday.
He said federal and local tax dollars were being used to stop innocent people without probable cause, and allow a private company to hire uniformed police to force citizens to listen to their questions.
He said he wasn't told what the swab was for, but added, "Clearly it was for DNA."
The checkpoint was among several being carried out in Pennsylvania by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, hired by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
City Police Chief William M. Heim said the two federal agencies are trying to see what can be done about crashes and injuries, and the swabs were not to get DNA samples but to test for the presence of prescription drugs.
The checkpoint was supposed to be voluntary, but Nieves said he had to refuse several times over a five-minute period before the woman taking the survey let him go.
What irked Nieves was the presence of city police. He said they were there - including a police car with flashing lights - to intimidate motorists, and gave the checkpoint an air of authority it would not otherwise have had.
"A federal survey with local police help violates my rights," Nieves said.
Heim said city police were hired for site security only, since the survey takers were paying money for answers and for the swabs.
But he said city police did not pull motorists over, nor ask any questions, and in fact were asked to stay away from the cars.
Asked about Nieves' statement that the private firm wanted police there for intimidation, Heim responded: "People are not pressured by police presence to do something they don't want to.
"In the grand scheme of things, I think it's a pretty innocuous and minor issue."
Heim said checkpoints are fairly common - for seat belt use, drunken driving, truck safety regulations - and all result in minor inconvenience.
However, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania said those checkpoints are legal only to protect public safety.
"A car driver or passenger cannot be required or pressured into providing a DNA sample and, in fact, can't be stopped at all except on suspicion of a crime or for a properly conducted sobriety checkpoint," Mary Catherine Roper, senior staff attorney for the ACLU of Pennsylvania, told the Reading Eagle Monday.
The checkpoint was part of a $7.9 million, three-year survey by the agencies, which has been conducted several times since the 1970s.
The surveys have gained more scrutiny this year because the Obama administration has been heavily criticized over revelations that U.S. spy agencies are tracking phone and Internet traffic, CNN reported in June.
Susan Watson, executive director of the Alabama chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, told CNN that Alabama's use of deputies to conduct the survey was an abuse of power.
Mayor Vaughn D. Spencer said neither he nor Managing Director Carole B. Snyder were aware of it, and he needs to understand what role police played before making any comment on it.
Council members also were upset, and said if local police are there, it appears they are operating the checkpoint.
Councilman Dennis M. Sterner was livid that government can't pick up local drug dealers without a two-year investigation, but can stop motorists at random.
"Our rights are being violated more and more every day," he said. "It's another way of government intrusion into our lives."

12-18-2013, 02:40 PMI'd like to see a national law making checkpoints illegal for anything other than immigration. So none of this BS where they pull you over for immigration check, and then hold you while they run a dog around the car or press you for information that is none of their business. If all they did was ask "What country are you a citizen of?" then I would comply. But they don't. They want to know where you have been today and where you are going. That is none of their business. The fact that you don't have to answer them is of little help when you are faced with a police presence and officers who sincerely believe that their superiors have the right to make policy.

I'm loving the new metallic skirts; I just need to find the right one! Any advice for a thirty-something career girl?
Metal Skirting, Sai Ying Pun
The Dictator rules: First off, stop calling yourself a girl. By now, you've earned the title of Woman. Second, these skirts should be worn only by those with toned legs and bums (or Spanx). Third, I suggest you play down/off the shine and glitz with an understated, well-made classic, such as a perfectly tailored white shirt. Joseph has an incredible stretch-leather pencil skirt in gunmetal grey (HK$7,500; Lee Gardens Two, Causeway Bay, tel: 2808 1040); L'Agence has an amazing coppery-gold-leather version (HK$4,990; Harvey Nichols, The Landmark, Central, tel: 3695 3388); and Shopbop. com is offering free international express delivery on a number of great options, including the mirrored python skirt by Milly (HK$3,988) and a silver neoprene mini by Sass & Bide (HK$1,390). The latest collection by Gat Rimon (Rue Madame, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2234 7880) has several metallic pieces, including a silver skirt (HK$1,250) and a black neoprene mini finished with a wide band of silver at the hem (HK$1,890). Also, check out the fab pleated silver skirt from Korean label Push Button (HK$3,490; Harvey Nichols). Then there's metallic brocade, which seems abundant this spring, including at Marni (HK$6,900 and up; The Landmark, tel: 2845 7632) and Maje (HK$1,990; IFC Mall, tel: 2234 7396). For something more demure, why not try a sparkle tweed mixed with metallic threads for a Coco-Chanel-on-her-way-to-a-disco look?
I've heard wonderful things about a new skin-cream brand called Dr Jart and really did my due diligence by visiting the major department stores, but I can't find it! Is there anywhere I can go to test the products so I don't have to buy blind on the web?
Dr in The House? The Peak
The Dictator: What were you thinking? It's not that department stores can only stock so many "doctor" brands, or that I hadn't even heard of this one. It's that your search should always start online, regardless of preferred purchasing method. Duh. According to www.google.com and www.dr-jart.com.hk, Dr.Jart+ was founded by a group of dermatologists in Korea. You'll find all the usual buzz words associated with these cosmeceuticals, such as "cutting-edge technology", "extensive research and development" and the promise of "visible results", along with the interesting note: "The products in Hong Kong sold by Dr.Jart+ are specially selected to suit the weather in Hong Kong." Reassuringly, the reputable sephora.com describes it as one of Asia's top skincare lines. Sasa (various locations; www.sasa.com.hk is one store of many that sells the brand. Star products include beauty balms such as the Black Label Detox BB Beauty Balm, Premium Beauty Balm and Water Fuse Smart Gel Beauty Balm (HK$265 to HK$400) targeting specific problems such as blemishes, ageing and congestion.

text: The Terrifying 'Slenderman' Goes from Meme to Free Horror GameKirk Hamilton7/05/12 2:00pmFiled to: slenderSlendermanHorrorIndietweetFb85EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Let us never underestimate the internet's ability to come up with freaky crap. The vast reach of the web creates mysteries as often as it dispels them, and sometimes those mysteries are truly scary.AdvertisementThe "Slenderman" is a longstanding horror meme based on the mythological archetype of a tall, faceless man who appears in the dark and… does scary things. Steals you away, grabs children. That kind of thing. He's haunted lots of places, from message boards to Minecraft, and feels a bit reminiscent of that freakshow in Pan's Labyrinth or even Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas. YouTuber AgentParsec has crafted Slender, a simple Unity-based horror game that stars the Slenderman. It's very simple, and free to download (links are below). In it, you'll play as a nameless woman (going by the sounds of your breath when you run) who must go around a closed in park at night and collect eight notes. You've got a flashlight, and that's about it.AdvertisementAnd yet the game is super freaky. It's amazing just how simple horror can be—put me in the woods at night with a flashlight and no means of defending myself, set a scary monster after me and… well, I'm gonna be scared. Bonus scary points for putting vague fun-facts about the monster on the notes.There seems to be a bunch of great indie horror games out at the moment, huh? Fine by me.You can download a free beta of Slender for Windows or for Mac. Happy note-hunting.Sponsored(Via MCV)Reply85 repliesLeave a reply

- Miniature Horses
- - Just a simple question.
Just a simple question. I wanted to get a mini and maybe goats. i know the goats can deal with this land but can the minis? I live on a flat part in the woods, but besides where my house and driveway is its kind of a hill. not steep, you can walk down it, but there is brush, trees and a stream in there. Can a mini be kept in this kind of land? We will build a stable and everything to keep it in, when weather gets bad, but i didnt know if hills were bad for it. thank you for your help! |
2 Attachment(s) Hi Marisa! :wave: I also live up in the mountains, and we do not have much in the way of flat ground ourselves. I have riding horses, Llamas, a goat, as well as miniature horses, and they all do just fine. So I would not let that keep you from having them. :wink: I don't have any good pics to show the lay of the land, but you might get some idea from this one, this is the minis in their paddock area..... Attachment 75400 And this is their barn, again not the best angle, but you get the idea. Attachment 75403 |
Thank you! :) and wow you have an amazing piece of property. It looks beautiful there and peaceful! Posted via Mobile Device |
Welcome. :D Please let us know if you do end up getting a mini, and/or goats! Love to hear about them and see pics. |
Can i just say Spirited if you ever need a house keeper or barn keeper I will gladly live in a stall to live on your property! It is gorgeous there not to mention I love snow! |
:lol: Thanks, LOL! :lol: Come on out, I can always use a hand mucking out stalls and paddocks! |
Consider me on the next flight from PA! Haha Posted via Mobile Device |

I'm preparing an audio/video installation which needs to be presented on a plasma screen. I need to send real-time images to the screen very, very quickly. like subliminal messages.
I have two questions:
– i'm using fpic. is it better to use a jitter object (in case, which one for still images? totally inexperienced of jitter) – how can i interface it with an external screen? – do you think i will have some sort of delay for those very quick images?
thanks a lot!

Hahah, that's a funny comparison, and first I've heard of it. Let's see...
Obsession with aliens, espers and time travelers, i.e. superpowers and the occult? check. Goes around blurting out stuff about said things? Well if I heard that introduction on the first day of school, I'd certainly think that girl was ill, so check. Hmm it's all starting to make sense why they'd choose to animate something they labeled as a "runner" up two years later now. So that's why Kyoani was interested in animating this... My thoughts after watching the first eps: I've been fading Kyoani ever since Clannad finished and they've acted like they were too "busy" to associate with Key anymore. I thought this homegrown adapation of one of their "runner ups" for their Kyoani award was going to be pretty iffy, I mean they didn't have any confidence in it in the first place to give it a grand prize, they basically slapped everyone who entered in the face in their first contest by saying no entries were good enough to be worth giving the grand prize to I.E. all the entries sucked. Also all the talk from the English-speaking side about superpowers and how cool it was, had me laughing at all the gaijin chuunis who had no idea what they were actually getting into! "What the hell is this moe crap??? Why are they making fun of me" Despite my expectations and my desire to troll this show, Ishihara-sama showed why he's so awesome. He manages to turn something with a rather run-of-the-mill premise into something interesting and fresh. That seizure inducing OP pretty much told me this show was going to be worth watching. The main heroine was a lot cuter than I expected, so much more so than she was in the "unaired character introduction". I never thought chuunibyou could be so moe. For the chuunis I hope you have some self deprecating humor within you, you guys are going to need it if you're going to persist with this one, especially with how anti-chuuni the main character seems to be. Looks like we're in for a moe-fest, buckle your seatbelts, we're in for a ride! Last edited by Ceral; 2012-10-03 at 22:43. |

My comments on the recently watched Ep 1:
* IMO Great OP (Schpro...whatever it was called.) * Great BGM * Oh God, I can relate to chu2byo for some reason. * I love these scenes... like Nichijou, they keep on exaggerating the simple mundane scenarios... * I'm already sold at the first episode... just like K-ON! ... is this... a sign?! * Ah... so many .gif-able goodies... I shall make one for another forum, I guess. XD * Also, Another senses tinging....and Lucky Star.... gah... * The use of galakta as junk reminds me of cosMo-P's series, where galakta sounds cool because it sounds "galactic". * I already said that ZAQ would sell as a band right? IMO great ED. (like Milky Holmes.)

evil dead
saw this yesterday, and if thats what hollywood calls horror these days then the horror genre is doomed, it seemed more like a comical slasher flick, even the chick i took there who usually gets creeped out by horror flicks wasnt moved by it
dont waste your time going to see if u expecting to walk out creeped out..wackness |
Damn really!? I had high hopes for this. I might end up seeing it this week.
i dont know why they even bothered in the first place. evil dead wasn't broke, don't fix it. typical hollywood faggots can't come up with an original idea to save their life.
that should be the movie, have a bunch of writers and directors come up with something actually horrific or they die in real life. watch em' all croak instantly. whatever though, i probably wasn't even going to redbox this one anyways. but since they're all about biting classics, they should just make movies about the shit you see on the news nowadays. find the most fucked up shit, and re-create it to exact, but build around it. BASED ON A TRUE STORY type shit. THIS COULD REALLY HAPPEN TO YOUR BITCH ASS type shit. SOMETHING. fuck it though, 99% of everything sucks these days. music, movies, television, sports, video games, wu-corp posts. |
Nah its a good flick...it aint fuckin with the original but i dug it.
porno version, i just came across. pun intended |
Hahahahaha...evil head. Why am I not surprised, There always seems to be a porn version of every Hollywood flick.

About Me Avid Cook
I use my stovetop everyday. I cook simple meals during the week and more complicated dishes on the weekend. From simple oatmeal to wine reduction sauces, this is the best stovetop I have ever owned. It heats to a boil super fast and simmers evenly. The only negative is the black top shows every spill, but it cleans up with a damp sponge.

Though "Bridesmaids'" success last year made it clear dudes aren't the only ones who enjoy a good raunchy comedy, it's unlikely folks of any gender are going to get many laughs from charmless femme-driven "That's What She Said."
Though "Bridesmaids'" success last year made it clear dudes aren't the only ones who enjoy a good raunchy comedy, it's unlikely folks of any gender are going to get many laughs from charmless femme-driven "That's What She Said." This crude, shrill day in the life of three ill-matched Manhattan women will prove as irksome to most viewers as it is to the protags, but Anne Heche's name should help secure some home-format sales.
Overweight, insecure Bebe (Marcia DeBonis) is inexplicably BFFs with jaded, brusque Dee Dee (Heche), whom she frantically calls for help in preparing for her first date in eons. Before she even meets the guy, overly empathetic Bebe has picked up a stray in the form of Clementine (Alia Shawkat), a younger woman nonsensically wailing over what seems to be minor boyfriend trouble. The three women careen around the city, broad humor leaning toward myriad inappropriate things said very loudly in public, Bebe itching her yeast infection, Clementine barfing on Dee Dee's lap, etc. The low-budget production looks it, with thesp Carrie Preston ("True Blood") gaining scant finesse since her prior directorial feature, "29th & Gay."That's What She Said

As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information
2008 – In March 2008, sales increased nine times over the month before – 200,000 to 1,855,000.
In April 2008, the United States Mint had to start an allocation program, effectively rationing Silver Eagle bullion coins to authorized dealers on a weekly basis due to "unprecedented demand."
On June 6, 2008, the Mint announced that all incoming silver planchets were being used to produce only bullion issues of the Silver Eagle and not proof or un-circulated collectible issues.
The 2008 Proof Silver Eagle became unavailable for purchase from the United States Mint in August 2008. The US Mint suspended sales of the silver bullion coins to its network of authorized purchasers twice during the year.
20,583,000 Bullion American Silver Eagles were sold in 2008. Silver averaged $14.99 an ounce and almost 80 percent more American Silver Eagles were sold then in any previous year.
"During 2008 there was a record inflow of over 93.1 million ounces (Moz) into the three main silver ETFs.Coins and medals fabrication jumped by an astonishing 63% to a record of 64.9 Moz. The main reason for this was a surge in investment-related purchases of bullion coins, both in the United States and Europe. Notably, fabrication of the U.S. Silver Eagle bullion coin achieved a record 19.6 Moz, approximately double the 2007 figure, and would have been higher if the U.S. Mint had sufficient blanks to produce coins to meet demand."silverinstitute.org
On March 5, 2009, the United States Mint announced that the proof and un-circulated versions of the Silver Eagle coin for that year were temporarily suspended due to continuing high demand for the bullion version.
On October 6, 2009, the Mint announced that the collectible versions of the Silver Eagle coin would not be produced for 2009.
The sale of 2009 Silver Eagle bullion coins was suspended from November 24 to December 6 and the allocation program was re-instituted on December 7.
Total ETF holdings rose by 132.5 Moz and ended the year at 397.8 Moz. Coins and medals fabrication rose 21 percent to post a new record of 78.7Moz.
Silver Eagle bullion coins sold out on January 12, 2010.
The average cost of an ounce of silver in 2009 was $14.67
2010 – No proof Silver Eagles were released through the first ten months of the year, and there was a complete cancellation of the un-circulated Silver Eagles.
Production of the 2010 Silver Eagle bullion coins began in January instead of December as usual. The coins were distributed to authorized dealers under an allocation program until September 3.
Silver posted an average price of $20.19 in 2010. World investment rose by an 40 percent in 2010 to 279.3 million troy ounces (Moz).
"Exchange traded funds (ETFs) registered another sterling performance in 2010, with global ETF holdings reaching an impressive 582.6 Moz, representing an increase of 114.9 Moz over the total in 2009. A significant boost in retail silver investment demand paved the way for higher investment in both physical bullion bars and in coins and medals in 2010. Physical bullion bars accounted for 55.6 Moz of the world investment in 2010. Coins and medals fabrication rose by 28% to post a new record of 101.3 Moz. In the United States, over 34.6 million U.S. Silver Eagle coins were minted, smashing the previous record set in 2009 at almost 29 million." silverinstitute.org
2011 – Silver posted an annual average price of $35.12 in 2011, more than double the $14.67 average price for 2009.
Global investment in silver bars and coins & medals produced yet another historic high of 282.2 million ounces – the equivalent of $10 billion, itself a record high.
Physical silver bar investment grew by 67 percent in 2011 to 95.7 million ounces, global coins & medals fabrication rose by roughly 19 percent to an all-time high of 118.2 million ounces.
The US imported 6,600,000 oz of silver for consumption in 2011 – up from 2007's imports of 4,830,000 oz.
In 2011 the US Mint sold 40,020,000 Bullion American Silver Eagle Coins.
2012 – United States Mint Authorized Purchasers (AP's) ordered 3,197,000 Bullion American Silver Eagle Coins on January 3rd, the first day they went on sale. That opening day total catapulted January Bullion Eagle sales higher than half of the monthly totals in 2011.
From February to September monthly sales were weaker then the corresponding months in 2011.
In October demand started to pick up. In November, bullion sales took off with sales of American Silver Eagles more than doubling the figures from November and December 2011.
On December 17th the Mint said all remaining inventories of 2012 dated Silver Eagle bullion coins had sold out – no additional coins would be struck.
Since the 2013 dated coins would not be available to order until January 7, 2013 that left a three week void where no one was buying Silver Eagles – yet Decembers sales were the third highest on record!
In 2012, the US Mint's silver coin sales surpassed the amount of physical silver produced via US domestic mine production.
According to David Baker over at the Sprott Group:
The US Mint's silver coin sales reached an all-time high of 13.2 million ounces in the first three months of 2013. If annualized, the Mint would sell 52.8 million ounces of silver in 2013 – a new record.
The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) has dumped 141 tonnes of gold year-to-date (March 22nd) while at the same time Silver ETF's added more than 20 million ounces of silver.
Finally from David comes the fact investors are buying 56 times more silver ounces than gold ounces – ask yourself if silver is 56 times more available then gold?
The twin policies of zero interest rates and the continual creation of money and credit being enacted today, by all governments and central banks, means that the purchase of precious metals is the only way to protect the value of your assets.
"The major monetary metal in history is silver, not gold." Milton Friedman, Nobel Laureate
Investors are currently risk adverse and mining stocks are not well understood by the general investing public, but at least one thing is going to become very apparent to most – the best way to hedge yourself against inflation could be owning silver and the shares of a silver and gold producer.
Junior resource companies offer the greatest leverage to increasing demand and rising prices for silver. Junior resource companies are soon going to have their turn under the investment spotlight and should be on every investors radar screen.
If this is Silver's Second Age we need to get ourselves some silver, both bullion and the leverage of shares.
Here's a way to buy both bullion from, and the shares of, a primary silver producer…..
Great Panther Silver (TSX-GPL) is a profitable primary (66%Ag, 28%Au, 6% Pb-Zn) silver producing (silver and gold production un-hedged, no royalties) company operating two mines in Mexico, the Guanajuato and the Topia Mine:
2010 – metal production was 2.26M ounces Ag. Eq.
2011 – production was 2.2M ounces
2012 – metal production was 2.38M ounces
2013 – the company forecasts a metal production target of 2.4M – 2.5M ounces
GPR also controls a number of exploration properties inMexico, including a project which is likely to become Great Panther's next mine, the very promising 100 percent owned San Ignacio project:
Current resource covers only 650m strike length out of a 4km potential on the La Luz vein system just five kilometers west of the principal Veta Madre structure that hosts Great Panther Silver's Guanajuato Mine Complex
Step-out drilling continues to show excellent silver-gold mineralization
Mineralization starts 50-100m below surface for easy ramp access, no need for a shaft
Orewill be trucked 20km to the Cata processing plant at Guanajuato plant
Ability to monetize project immediately to help pay for its development
The 100 percent owned El Horcon silver – gold project (7,908 hectares in 17 contiguous mining concessions) is a past producing underground mine with multiple veins in old workings – El Horcon hosts nine known veins, with the Diamantillo vein traceable on surface for more than four kilometres. Mapping and sampling is currently underway and an initial mineral resource is targeted for 2013. El Horcon lies within trucking distance, just 60km, from GPR's Cata processing plant in Guanajuato – preliminary metallurgical testing at the Company's facilities in Guanajuato shows the El Horcon mineralization to be compatible with the existing mill feed.
Both San Ignacio and El Horcon show excellent potential to be satellite mines for GPR's Guanajuato Operations.
Great Panther has spent a considerable amount of money improving operations & exploration/development at both mines over the last two years:
Increased plant capacity to process ore from San Ignacio
Completed an access drift for the underground transportation of ore from Guanajuatito.Orefrom Guanajuatito can now be transported underground to the Cata shaft, thereby eliminating the need for truck hauling to surface and then on surface to the Cata mill. Underground haulage is faster, cheaper and reduces truck traffic through populated parts of the City ofGuanajuato.
Increased exploration at Guanajuato contributed to the discovery of new high grade mineralization. The drilling at Valenciana included an intercept of 2,900g/t silver and 26.00g/t gold over 1.30 meters, while the two new discoveries at Guanajuatito are highlighted by intersections of 1,010g/t silver and 6.67g/t gold over 1.10 meters and 1,460g/t silver and 4.79/t gold over 1.15 meters.
All of this investment should provide future benefits such as decreased costs and increased production.
Significantly higher production was reported for Q4 2012 compared to the fourth quarter 2011:
Processed ore for Q4 was 67,659 tonnes, an increase of 30%
Metal production for Q4 2012 was 672,690 Ag eq oz, a quarterly record and an increase of 23% over Q4 2011
Silver production for Q4 was 453,934 ounces, an increase of 28%
Gold production for Q4 was 2,826 ounces, an increase of 24%
"We are pleased to report a strong fourth quarter with several quarterly and annual production records. We have made and continue to make improvements and changes at both mines that will have a positive impact going forward." CEO Robert Archer
Great Panther completed a $24 million bought deal financing in 2011 for an acquisition that later fell through. They still have this money and are continuing to look for the right 'fit.' Geographically they continue to focus on Mexico and Peru, the two largest silver-producing countries in the world.
Great Panther hit a rough patch in 2012, as net income for the year totaled $5.5 million, compared to $11.5 million for 2011. The decrease is attributable to a $7.7 million decrease in gross profit, a $1.5 million increase in general and administrative (G&A) expenses, a $1.5 million increase in exploration and evaluation expenses, and an increase in tax expense of $2.2 million.
"Gross profit was significantly impacted by lower silver prices and an increase in depreciation charges due to the substantial investments made in our mines, plant and equipment over the last year." Great Panther CEO Robert Archer
Great Panther would seem to have a lot going for it as we move forward into 2013:
A very strong cash position and no long term debt
Impressive high grade silver and gold discoveries at Guanajuato
The substantial investments made in mines, plant and equipment
The excellent potential of San Ignacio and El Horcon to be satellite mines for GPR's Guanajuato Operations
Cost control measures have been implemented and the one-time costs occurred in 2012 will not occur again
A potential acquisition
Producing 66 percent silver with a 28 percent gold kicker GPR, with its strong profit margins of between 30 and 53% seems to be an excellent play on firstly silver and secondly combined precious metals.

text: An offbeat blend of World War II drama and "Arabian Nights" escapism, Destination Gobi is all the more odd in that it is allegedly based on fact. Richard Widmark heads a group of US Navy men, sent to Mongolia for weather observation. Widmark must lead his men across the treacherous Gobi desert to the freedom of the seacoast. Rescued from the Japanese by a Mongolian chief (Murvyn Vye), the men are compelled to repay their rescuer by securing enough saddles for his sixty horses. A flummoxed Pentagon okays the requisition, and the chieftain leads Widmark's band to Okinawa. Destination Gobi makes good use of the Arizona desert, which "stands in" for Gobi. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

What's the best way to figure out what making my messaging app crash? It has happened lately and I am presuming it is something I have installed but I have no idea what.
Try to wipe data+cache of the messaging app itself
Dropped my Nexus S again, it's automagically unbroken now.
April's fools.
Now I'm confused as fuck. Which one was the aprils fools? Nexus being broken or unbroken?
Also, what TippZ said.
I finally got my tablet back, it runs better now
The last one had a broken sleep button but I suspect that it wasn't the only problem. ICS is cool too.
How doi get flash to work? IE youtube videos on fp
Is there a way to upload screenshots?
download flash player fron play store
as for screenshots, there may be some quicker way, but I just take the screenshot, transfer it into my computer, then upload it to an image-hosting site
Once you install the imgur app its added to the share options in the gallery app. Much easier than transfering it to your computer.
Get Flash player.
For uploading screenshots, there's about a million ways how to do it. One of them is imgur for Android (not sure if it works on tablets, but it should I suppose).
aaand yeah, ninja'd by two people and almost 10 minutes in total. dammit.
Do i need to do it after I update? I got a prompt when i was still on 3.2 and installed it before I got ICS
My Nexus isn't broken.
If it'd be, you would've already heard about it on the news.

wouldnt be samsungs fault :(
poor sam sung
So I'm the only one with a broken screened phone again.
Which ICS ROM should I flash on my Samsung Galaxy S2?
yes, only when taking photo.
not one person has ever been able to explain that to me..
from what I know, it pretty much means 'stolen code', as in, aokp is just aosp with some changes to it
now what does aosp stand for now again
Android Open Source Project.
wait, how does one steal an open source project?
stealing someone elses work on that code?
Hey guys, how do you even update the phone? Going to settings and then Software Updates gives nothing. (galaxy s2)
That's how I did it.
Try to update it with Kies maybe?
As Muntu mentioned, just connect the phone with the computer and run Kies, it'll automatically look for updates once it has recognized the device that's plugged in.
BTW what's the name of the new Ipad
"The new iPad"
What a fucking terrible name
At least still better than Motorola Amaze Epic One G1 3D
Sony Ericsson Defy Touch One G2 V
it's not 'stealing', but they just take the aosp code, add some stuff to it then release it under their own name I guess
I think that's the joke. Devs were just screwing around, but the whole kang thing didn't really took off..
"Kang" is similar to a branch. It's like a mod of someone else's ROM.
Only in America do they ever get offers like this... So unfair!
If it's not an OTA update, then you update your device on pc
So why am I not allowed to set my Thumbs Up list on Google Music to be available offline?

Chuck Palahniuk, author of the dangerously brilliant Fight Club, pulls no punches in his latest novel, Choke. Once again, Palahniuk invites us to experience the underground, church-basement-dwelling world of the 12-step program. Only this time we're not in for testicular, bone, or skin cancer; this time we're dealing with sexual addiction. Not that former med student Victor Mancini has a problem, 'cause he doesn't. But when it comes to getting a little action, where better to go?
In Choke, as in all of Palahniuk's work, we hear the echoes of writers as diverse as Jonathan Swift, Don DeLillo, George Saunders, Kurt Vonnegut, and Bret Easton Ellis. But Palahniuk's voice is so unique, and his perspective so specific and fresh, one can hardly call his fiction derivative. Brazenly addressing our sexual excesses, our obsession with death, and our yearning for love, Palahniuk paints a horrific but ultimately fascinating portrait of the 21st-century psyche whose effect is much like bearing witness to an accident: Gruesome as it is, it is impossible not to look. (Cary Goldstein)

Father, son killed in murder-suicide plunge from NYC high rise
NEW YORK - A father and his 3-year-old son died after the man threw the boy from the roof of a luxury Manhattan high-rise and then leapt off the building on Sunday following "domestic turmoil" with the boy's mother, New York police said on Monday.
The father was Dmitriy Kanarikov, a 35-year-old Brooklyn resident, and his son was Kirill.
"Tragically, he took the son to the roof and all indications are that he threw him off and... jumped himself," New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters. "The mother, obviously, is very distraught."
Kanarikov and the boy's mother, who has not been identified, were married in 2009 but had split up in August. The mother obtained a restraining order against Kanarikov, and he was allowed only supervised visits with the child, Kelly said.
Kanarikov had demanded that she sign over their Brooklyn home and other property to him and had threatened to "take" their child if she did not, Kelly said, though he declined to say when that threat was made.
Kelly said Kanarikov had never threatened to harm his son.
On Sunday, Kanarikov picked his son up at 10 a.m. and together they went to the South Park Tower, on Manhattan's West Side, where an acquaintance lived. That acquaintance was not believed to have been involved in the incident and is not being investigated as an accomplice, Kelly said.
