THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, APPELLEE,v.CURTIS MICHAEL BRADFORD, APPELLANT.
Appeal from the Appellate Court for the Fifth District; heard
in that court on appeal from the Circuit Court of Jefferson
County, the Hon. Lehman Krause, Judge, presiding.
Curtis Michael Bradford was convicted by a jury in the circuit court of Jefferson County of two counts of indecent liberties with a child (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 11-4) and sentenced to two concurrent terms of six years. The appellate court, in a Rule 23 order (87 Ill.2d R. 23), affirmed the convictions (121 Ill. App.3d 1163), and we allowed the defendant's petition for leave to appeal under our Rule 315 (87 Ill.2d R. 315).
Bradford, age 30, was convicted of separate acts of lewd fondling and sexual intercourse, both occurring on the night of December 6, 1981, with his girlfriend's sister Joan, who was then 13 years old. The defendant was acquitted of a third charge of lewd fondling, alleged to have occurred on December 19, with the same victim.
On occasion, Joan would stay with Faye, her sister, who was the defendant's girlfriend, and the defendant in his home. As a prosecution witness, Faye testified that on December 6 she was in bed with Bradford when Joan appeared at the bedroom door. Bradford invited Joan into bed and asked her to remove her shorts and shirt. Faye testified that Bradford began kissing and fondling her sister. Faye became angry and left to sleep the rest of the night on a downstairs couch. She returned to the bedroom the next morning and pulled Joan, who was unclothed, from the defendant's bed.
Marcia, another sister who occasionally stayed at the defendant's house, testified that she saw the defendant and Joan lying close together in bed that morning. The witness was unable to say what either was wearing as they had blankets over them.
Called as a court's witness, Joan testified that she and Faye were sleeping in the defendant's bed while he was at work because it was a cold night and the defendant's room was the only upstairs room with a radiator. She was awake around 2 a.m. when Bradford returned from work and got into bed, but she stated that Faye slept between her and the defendant. She denied that there were any sexual relations between her and the defendant. The next morning, she was wearing shorts and a shirt when Faye pulled her from bed. She testified that she was in love with the accused and planned to marry him.
Joan said that, on December 23, she gave a statement to two agents of the Illinois Department of Criminal Investigations in which she said that she engaged in sexual intercourse with the defendant on December 6. She later initialed corrections in the typed statement and signed it. She identified the statement in court, but claimed that the agents coerced her into making it.
Gary Willaredt, one of the agents who interviewed Joan and who later typed the statement for her signature, testified that no pressure had been applied on Joan. There was corroborating testimony by the agent who accompanied Willaredt when the statement was taken and also by a third agent who was present with Willaredt when the statement was signed. Willaredt testified over objection that Joan told him that, on that night, Bradford first engaged in sexual intercourse with Faye and then with her. The statement was then admitted into evidence, over the defendant's objection, for the purpose of impeaching the inconsistent testimony of Joan.
Dr. Robert Parks, who examined Joan 17 days after the alleged incident at the request of her mother, testified that he was unable to state conclusively from a pelvic examination whether Joan had ever engaged in sexual intercourse. He did recall, after examining a hospital record he prepared while taking Joan's history, that Joan told him she had engaged in sexual intercourse on December 6. Dr. Parks also read from a second hospital record, compiled by a nurse present during the examination, which indicated that Joan told the nurse that the sexual intercourse on December 6 was with a 30-year-old man. While testifying as a court's witness, Joan was never asked if she made these statements to the doctor and nurse. Dr. Parks could not recall who was present during the examination and remembered that the nurse was there only through her signature on the record. The defendant objected to the doctor's testimony on the ground that there was no foundation for it, but the testimony was allowed for impeachment purposes.
Joan also testified as a witness for the defense. She acknowledged her conversations with the doctor and nurse, but said she never had told them the identity of the person with whom she had engaged in sexual intercourse and claimed that she had lied when she told the nurse that the man was 30 years old. On cross-examination, she admitted that, though she was lying at the time, she had been referring to the defendant in her conversation with the nurse.
The defendant took the stand and denied any sexual involvement with Joan. On the night in question, he returned from work at around 2 a.m. and found Faye and her sister in his bed. He got into bed with Faye next to him, and did not awaken until the next morning when Faye pulled Joan from the bed. He said that he was in love with Joan and intended to marry her despite her age. Sometime around December 19, Bradford said that he asked Joan's mother for permission to marry Joan.
On cross-examination, Bradford described an essay he wrote while awaiting trial that he had titled "The Crime of Love." In it he asserts his disagreement with laws which prohibit sexual activity with a child under 16 years because they are based on "arbitrary, discriminatory standards established by law denying the very possibility of a pure love developed between individuals of [different] chronological ages." On his motion, the essay was admitted into evidence.
During rebuttal testimony, Faye stated that the defendant on that night "kept on playing with her (Joan) and then ...

Thursday, Jan 2- Letter
To My Paternal Granny
I saw your pics at my cousin's wedding recently and I realised how time has gone by- you have changed, you are now much older than I recall and yet, there is a certain inner peace about you- it is good, it is nice to see you happy. Many of my memories of you are just surviving while you moved from one son to another but since you moved on your own, you are happy and I hope everyone finds such peace and happiness in their lives, despite all the obstacles. In your own way, you taught me independence, the need to enjoy the odd sugar parantha with cream, the acceptance of a changed world and the need to constantly keep adapting. I see you rarely, I speak to you less than I should but in no way does this mean I love or respect any less. Thank you for being the influence that you are.
Friday, Jan 3- The Week Gone By
– Cooked a 6 course dinner with Red for our friends

Our 3 largest trading partners are learning to love Donald Trump. China, which for centuries, was used to bribing venal politicians, has learned. along with Canada and Mexico, how easy it is to get along with President Trump despite his insufferable egotism. All China had to do, to tame the paper tiger, was to pat Donald on the head, saying "good boy" and give Ivanka a few trinkets, namely some patents, which cost the Chinese treasury nothing and can be revoked at will. Canada and Mexico can just say a kind word to the Donald to accomplish the same thing, relying on Republican advisors to remind Donald that a trade war with them would throw the U.S. economy into an immediate recession, from which even ladders, that could be used to scale high walls, could not get us out.

Dymon Asia Capital (Singapore)'s currency hedge fund gained an estimated 22% in the first 25 days of November as bets on weaker Asian currencies paid off, with some investors making triple that gain by putting money into a highly leveraged version.
Bloomberg News reports that the profits extended returns made by the $714m Dymon Asia Currency Value Fund this year to nearly 46%, said Gerald Chan, the firm's Singapore-based head of distribution, citing estimates. The money manager's $3.4bn flagship Dymon Asia Macro Fund made an estimated 7.8% during the same period in November, taking this year's return to 12%, he said.
Dymon joins macro hedge-fund peers such as Brevan Howard Asset Management and Rubicon Fund Management in turning a political shock into profit. Brevan Howard's $12.7bn main hedge fund gained 5.6% in the first 18 days of November, erasing earlier losses this year, and Rubicon surged almost 20% in the same period to return to profit.
The November returns for Dymon came primarily thanks to bearish bets on various Asian currencies, including the Japanese yen, against the greenback, said Chan. The dollar has surged for its biggest monthly gain versus the yen since 1995, on the prospect of President-elect Donald Trump's proposed fiscal stimulus fuelling inflation. The dollar gained 9.1% against the Japanese currency last month.

| Mo'nica chapter 1 . 2/1/2003
This is SAD!
But it's a really good "sad" story. Why is it that carter is always dying? i dunno but it was good. Can't wait for you to write some more "dana and carter" fics!
| lil smiles chapter 1 . 10/20/2002
I really thought I reviewed this story but I guess I didn't... Wow I gotta say this is probably the best story I've ever read and I totally mean it. Not only do you capture the audience's attention you captured Dana's raw emotions and it was beautifully done. If you don't mind can you review my story "Unbroken Promises" I'd really appreciate it, thanks for such an impressive work of art.

This story is beautiful, but sad. I love this pairing.
| fan chapter 1 . 2/25/2002
Oh my god that was so sad and sweet at the same time. Carter is my favorite Lightspeed Ranger. Why did you make him die? I also love this pairing. This fic was good, if only it had a happy ending. Keep writing!
| The Fink chapter 1 . 2/25/2002
That was utterly beautiful.

Have you tried to lose weight? Perhaps you have a specific medical condition that makes you leery of trying certain weight loss products. If so, you may be interested in a product that is referred to as Plexus Slim. You may have heard others call this the "pink weight loss formula". It has received great reviews from people due to its effectiveness. One thing that makes this product stand out from others is that users get a jump-start on cravings by taking the accelerator early in the morning. Some people report that taking the accelerator helps to curb their hunger in the morning.
If you have read literature about weight loss, you likely know that your metabolism plays a key role in keeping extra weight off. It also is integral in maintaining a healthy weight. Metabolism is controlled by a part of the body referred to as the hypothalamus. Sometimes, people have great metabolism during their younger years, but as they age, changes can occur. These changes may result in them gaining weight. Plexus Slim has improved and regulated the metabolism of a number of people who have taken the product.
Lower cholesterol and glucose levels are important for people who have a history of diabetes and high cholesterol in their families. This product has been shown to improve these levels. This means that people who opt to use this product can expect to live healthier lives. They may also feel better as a result of using Plexus Slim. Keep in mind, this is not the only weight loss option in the product lineup for this company.
You may be thinking, "This sounds like a wonderful product, but I don't know where to buy plexus slim." You may have gone to a few local retailers or even tried to find the product online. You will need to buy this product from an independent ambassador. You may even decide to become an ambassador too after seeing your own results. Your success story can help others be inspired. This is something many ambassadors find rewarding, and you can be compensated for doing so.

Finding God - Salim Morgan
Finding God - Salim Morgan. This lecture beautifully explains the meaning of Shahadah and teaches the Daee the correct approach in Dawah. Many of the Daees (callers) concentrate on petty issues and forget the focus on Tawheed (The Unique Oneness of God), Akhirah (Concept of Hereafter) and Risaalat (Concept of Prophethood). This lecture makes a Muslim understand that the focus in Dawah should be on Islam's creed, the Shahadah and also teaches us how to appeal to a Non-Muslim to consider what we are saying.

Heavy rain was off at the impact of typhoon No. 26 also Kozu Island is just south of Izu Oshima, of approximately 60 km.
In Kozushima village, 20 minutes 0:00 am on the 16th this month the typhoon approached, the rain intensified, and issued a call for an evacuation in three districts in the village, but at 5:30 pm the day before the previous about 7 hours After you have installed the shelter, and told residents using the disaster prevention radio.
Furthermore, again, " rainfall from the beginning of more than 110 mm off the risk of landslides is increasing " as in radio, and of evacuation to residents of three districts which may be in the bottom of the cliff to 8:25 pm I was called for the preparation.
Within this, it was also conveyed that it will people take time to evacuation and the elderly as well as asking you to start the evacuation immediately, announcing the evacuation When you reach the 140 mm rainfall has been defined in the disaster prevention plan of the village.
Among them, listen to the radio at the receiver for home use that was distributed door to door, wife multi Yamada, who live in the above River District ( 63 years) is, on a voluntary basis with his mother of 89 -year-old to 9:30 pm were evacuated.

Pato set for Chelsea switch
Brazil striker Alexandre Pato was last night flying to London to seal a loan move to Chelsea. Subject to a successful medical, the Corinthians forward will join for an initial six months, with the option of a permanent deal in the summer.
It is understood that Corinthians wanted to sell the 26-year-old former Milan player outright for £8m, but Chelsea negotiated the loan.
Elsewhere, Crystal Palace have confirmed signing of striker Emmanuel Adebayor until the end of the season.
The 31-year-old former Togo frontman was released from his contract at Tottenham in September, and joins the Eagles until the end of the season.
Adebayor first moved to England when he joined Arsenal from Monaco, and left for Manchester City in a £25m deal during the summer of 2009 before loan spells at Real Madrid and Spurs ahead of his permanent switch to White Hart Lane in August 2012.

What can I say? We eat well at our coastal retreats! I like to tell the story of the VERY first yoga retreat Rick and I hosted at Little Renaissance in Ocean Shores. The retreat went really well and on the Tuesday following the weekend retreat, two retreat participants who also happen to be our dear friends, Tom and Ursula, showed up for their morning class with me at Seattle Athletic Club. Everyone in class was excited to hear about the retreat. I heard someone ask Tom, "So, how was the yoga retreat, Tom?" Tom's eyes lit up and he said loudly and enthusiastically, "The FOOD was GREAT!!" And he went on and on about the meals, in great detail. I kept thinking to myself, "Please, please, Tom, say something about the YOGA!" Eventually he did have some great things to say about the yoga, too. Seriously, in addition to eating well, we do a lot of yoga!
The retreat participants wanted some recipes from last week's retreat. Here is a recipe for the curry I served on Saturday evening. Carol Brown sent this to me a long time ago. I have altered it a bit as follows:
Killer Curry (serve with rice)
In a large saute pan over medium heat, heat 3-4 tablespoons oil. Add the garlic and onions, and saute for 1 minute:
4 tablespoon ghee (I used olive oil instead))
7 garlic cloves, minced
3 medium onions
Add the following and saute for 4-6 minutes or until the onions are golden brown:
3 carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch squares
Add the following and saute for 1 minute:
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup golden raisins
Add the following, stir well and saute for 1 minute:
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 Tablespoon turmeric
1 Tablespoon paprika
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. ground ginger (I used fresh finely chopped ginger)
Add the spinach and water. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes:
2 (10 oz) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed (I used fresh spinach, cooked down)
1 cup water
Add the following and stir:
1 yellow bell pepper (cored and cut into 1/2 inch squares)
2/3-1 cup coconut milk
Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 30 minutes.
Serve over a bed of rice.
One of the women, Carol Brown!!, who was going to come to the retreat, but could not attend, sent us a gift of brownies:
I also made sweet delights:
Lemon Bars
Preheat oven to 325 F. Mix the following three ingredients and pat into an
ungreased 13″x9″x2 " pan and bake for 18-20 minutes:
2 sticks butter
2 cups flour
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
Using an electric mixer, beat the following. Begin with the eggs and when
the eggs are well beaten, then add the remainder:
4 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
4 Tablespoons flour
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tablespoon lemon peel
Add the egg mixture to the crust and bake for another 20 minutes.
After you are finished baking, loosen around the edges and sift
confectioner's sugar over top while still warm. Let bars cool COMPLETELY
before cutting into squares. Cutting is not so easy. I put the cooled pan
in the fridge for a half an hour before I cut the bars.
And I made a sour cream coffee cake that came out surprisingly better than ever. You'll probably flip when you see how much butter, sugar, and sour cream are in this one! No wonder it's so sinfully tasty!
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted melted butter (cooled)
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

I feel comfortable blogging about this because my blog is only visited by friends and family, but for those who don't know....I have major stomach issue's- always have, unfortunately always will.
If you want me to stop at that: stop reading this post~ if I offend or if any of you say afterwards why would she share this gross story, you shouldn't have read it...fair warning!
Last night Gabe and I went into the city to have dinner with my cousin Chuckie who was here with a group of kids and chaperone's from the school where he teaches. When Gabe and I got off of the train it was pouring...When we got to the restaurant we were soaked- I was actually squeezing water out of my pants. We had a nice Italian meal, and then went to get some dessert and coffee. My stomach started feeling funny but I am on some amazing meds for my spastic colon and haven't had major issue's in a long time (my gastro doctor is one of my best friends, bc in a weird way he has allowed me to go places without worrying about the stomach aches that I have grown accustomed too)
Chuckie and another chaperone had to be back in China town so they only walked half of the Brooklyn bridge with us....
See picture of happy us below:
Then we split ways...we headed towards home, but my stomach was really acting up!
For the rest of our journey across the bridge I was in pain. A LOT of PAIN. I was praying and swearing (sorry folks) praying and swearing....I kept saying keep it in, keep it in, please god take it back to my belly and away from my butt. I was very close to going in my pants (this is where the readers who think I am crazy or gross should stop reading).
What do you do when you are walking across the bridge and are having muscle spasms that you can't control and are about to make you go right there? Pray and swear, pray and swear....I made Gabe talk to me to keep my mind off of it but he said he was just praying the whole time (and I am sure swearing too:) He was so good to me, but there was nothing he could do at this point. I was also saying- squeeze the cheeks please don't come out, please don't come out...
After we walked a mile across we had to walk about another to find a spot to go (the park looked very nice but I think I was to scared to actually stop there. So as we passed a building that I saw people in (security guards). We just went in and begged for a bathroom- I was almost in tears, sweating bullets- they escorted us to the 2nd floor bathrooms. Come to find out we were in a Morgan Stanley office building....such nice nice guys that let us in. Gabe got to know the guard well as they spoke for a good 30 minutes.
After that we went to find a train to get home quickly...but the R train wasn't running and by this time it started up again so I ran into the Marriott...30 minutes later we were running to a train, 15 minutes later I was home...and still feeling so very sick!
We are just super thankful that I made it home...what a stressful experience. Calling Doc Adler in the morning!

Colts Neck Inn#6 Rt 537W Colts Neck, NJ
We offer 3 beautifully appointed banquet rooms. We can accommodate from 25 to 250 people. The Colts Neck INN was once owned by Joshua Huddy, a patriot, hanged by the British in retaliation for the death of Philip White, as they claimed. Huddy was captured by Refugees, more officially known as members of the board of Associated Loyalists, after a vain defense of his home with the help of his wife and servant girl. Lots were drawn to decide who should be hanged in retaliation for Huddy and Charles Asgill was saved from the fate only by Washington. The Colts Neck Inn is now a popular stopover in summer for many who are bound for the beaches or the racetrack, as well as a welcome watering hole and eatery for the locals. Come enjoy our Outdoor Dining, on our Garden Patio.

Take a Break Driver 8
Chapter II where we find our hero and his girlfriend travelling to Strasbourg, France.
Being close to France we decided to take a day trip to Strasbourg. Now if you haven't been to Europe, trains are a great and efficient way to travel. Especially in Germany, the Deutsche Bahn does a great job. Now I've never ridden Amtrak but aside from the east coast, I believe that train travel in this country is a joke. After several experiences with the trains in Germany, I can say I enjoy train travel (must more over air) and wish we had a better system here.
Well we did run into a slight problem with the DB. Apparently the drivers/employees were on strike that week, well sort of. Instead of being on complete strike, they just refused to start working until 9am. Now I am no labor expert but I thought the point of a strike is to refuse to do your work until your demands are met. If you are providing a service (driving trucks, teaching kids, trains) and go on strike it disrupts yhe business and puts the employer in a corner to keep business going. Ergo, you are more likely to have your needs met. To me this seemed like a half-assed strike and only caused minor problems.
Because of this strike we were delayed for a good hour and a half and spent some quality time in Offenberg. Eventually we did make it to France. Unfortunately because of the EU, I did not get my passport stamped in France, oh well, c'est la vie. Strasbourg is a nice little city although it was a little chilly and we were faced with off & on rain throughout the day. We did see the cathedral. It is unique in that it should have two steeples, but they never finished the one side. So it looks a little funny and you can see where the 2nd steeple should go. Now all these cathedrals in Europe are great. They are huge and several hundreds years old and have a lot history to them. After seeing a few of them I can say that if you've seen one Gothic cathedral, you've seen them all. We were going to go to one of the art museums there but apparently it was closed on tuesdays. I should have known this as I took 3 years of French 12-14 years ago.
Instead of the museum we took a boat trip around the city. We got to see a lot of the historical sections and they took us past the European Parliament which is located in Strasbourg. As the weather was pretty crappy we did take the opportunity to go to the city museum. It had just reopened in the past week and featured a lot of interactive stuff. I enjoyed the museum as I have a soft side for all this historical stuff...never mind that I couldn't read anything. In the museum there was a little video session we saw, although since it was in French neither of us understood it and we wondered why we sat there for 10 min to watch the video.
Then we went to dinner. Since we were in France I had to try escargot. The snails were served with a very-garlic butter sauce. I wasn't too impressed and they were rather chewy. I would say they are similar to mussels, but not as good. Though the OFOMOL has had them before and said that the ones we had were not very good. I also had a beer from a brewery that was founded in the 11th century. The 11th century!!! We have no idea what the natives were doing here in the 11th century but in Europe they were brewing beer.
It was a nice experience. Yeah the weather could have been better but I can say that I have visited France. As a side note, the OFOMOL is travelling to Mexico tomorrow for a semester in Monterrey. Please wish her safe travels.

An intriguing MSNBC-Reuters article describes how Consumer Reports conducted a survey of 1,500 readers, only to find out that 80% of patients were prescribed antidepressants, and that SSRIs (such as Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft) were preferred over SNRIs such as Effexor [and its newer brother, Pristiq] and Cymbalta because of side effects.
NOTE: DBSA's position can be compared to a three-legged stool - we recommend that any person with a mood disorder should consult a psychiatrist for a diagnosis and prescriptions, use a therapist for discussing personal problems and working out coping strategies, and frequent support groups to be around people who understand your situation and can speak from personal experience.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Effects [BG]' started by retitled, Nov 2, 2004.
what distortion method was used in the intro to queens of the stone age's mexicola bass intro?
Bass through guitar amp...or big muff
Cranked Ampeg SVT, I guess?
It's much more fuzz than any SVT could provide. I honestly have no idea what was actually used but I've come close with a Marshall Guv'nor.
My bet would be that it's a guitar amp through a bass cab.

Water is unique. It is the resource we cannot do without. Highly validated projections show Claremont will be hotter in coming years, while rainfall will decrease. We cannot tolerate Golden State Water Company, its parent American States Water Company, or an international cartel that might take over, controlling our future.
With this in mind, in 2006 the League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area adopted a position on water that advocates "Support for public acquisition of the local water system, converting the privately-owned company to a city-owned water company by the use of public financing, believing that public control is worth the cost, even if high, and has long-range advantages to rate-payers and to the community." Now we have the opportunity to make that a reality. We must not lose it.
Under the present high water rates in Claremont, there are options under which the city could purchase and manage the water system without increasing rates or taxes, even if the costs were near the upper range of credible estimates. Cooperating with a neighboring city is one of these.

I know you haven't heard from me in a while—let's just say that I have been a little consumed with work and some personal endeavors. However, it's all in hopes that I can eventually spend a little bit more time with all of you. I know everyone is probably thinking about fresh fruit and deliciously light and satisfying meals in celebration of spring, but I'm not quite there yet. I think the Midwest is the only part of the country that has yet to have a nice refreshing spring day. We are still dealing with cold weather, clouds and a lot of rain. Biscuits and gravy isn't going to be your traditional spring breakfast spread, but if you are going to have rain and dreary weather like me this weekend, and you need a little bit of comfort food after coming off of a draining week, this will be perfect!
A couple months ago I purchased the Food Porn Daily cookbook. If you haven't checked out this blog, you have to. It is so delicious, mouthwatering and inspirational. I made this very rewarding breakfast about a month ago and forgot to share it with everyone. I'm sorry I can't link to the actual recipe, but maybe try this one or this one, or just buy the book!

You come to me, standing tall
The look in your eyes sets my skin aflame,
Straightfaced, silent, stoic
Saying more with the set of your jaw and
Those eyes than a thousand words could express.
Your presence is electric,
Every tiny hair on my body standing on end
Every inch of me alert and awake and awaiting
The brush of those lips, your fingertips, your tongue
Against the quivering sheets of sensation pouring over me
The delicious anticipation of flesh on flesh vibrating through us both.
Even as my eyes are on the floor
I can feel yours on me, lapping me up like honey
Absorbing every detail, caressing me
As I lay spread before you
And before those arms ever leave your side.
You're so composed. Disciplined. Strong,
And I feel small and shamefully lustful in your wake
For not wanting to wait anymore,
For wanting you moving over and through me
To envelop you in my moist sensuality
And hold you there as long as I can take it-
The thought sends jolts from deep in my womb
To consume my consciousness like smouldering coals.
How sweetly it hurts when you pierce me,
How profound, how we become one entity of momentum
When the barrier is finally broken and we fold into each other
Like origami, as though meticulously sculpted to fit and complement each other.
Now as we move to the pulsing beat of the blood in your veins,
And the air becomes heavy with condensation and lust,
We share one breath, one goal, that one primal need
To crest each wave, synchronized, until
You're crashing into me like the sea on the shore,
And I am filled to spilling with you.

Forbidden Fruit
Eden Bradley
Delta (Dell), Oct 28 2008, $13.00
San Francisco State University Professor Mia Rose Curry teaches a class on alternative sexuality that allows her to fantasize without doing as she trusts no one. Her class is extremely popular as students enjoy learning about fetishes, bondage, and voyeurism, oh my. Although several students have come on to her, Mia knows better than to mix with a pupil; instead she conceals her desires from everyone behind an academic façade.
However, this term she has a problem when hunk Jagger James enters her classroom. From the moment she sees the Golden One she wants him, but tries to pretend indifference. Jagger knows she is his food fetish and plans to dine on his teacher just like he demands she feast on his banquet.
This is an entertaining erotic romance starring a professor and the student who makes her deepest hottest fantasies come to life. Though their pairing seems on the surface wrong (even Mia Rose knows that) due to the nature of their academic relationship, Eden Bradley makes it seem right. Sub-genre fans will relish dining on this FORBIDDEN FRUIT as Jagger teaches Mia Rose "ain't nothing like the real thing" (Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell) when love is involved.

Several campaigns need to be executed automatically on a defined schedule with as little manual intervention required as possible in CRM Dynamics 4.0. The automated execution should build on the normal workflow and data structures so that reports and integration code continue to work without special adjustments.
A new entity called "Scheduled campaign" will be created. It serves as a blueprint for creating "Campaign" and "Campaign activities" instances during the execution following the specified scheduled. It is thus a hybrid between the "Campaign" and the "Campaign activity" entities combining the required fields from these entity types and additional fields for the schedule information.
A scheduled campaign can have an arbitrary (at least one) number of selection filters. These filters represent queries that can be compined intersecting or coalescing dependiing on the "Type" (just like you can use Advanced find to Add or remove members from a Marketing List record in Microsoft Dynamics CRM).
A "Scheduled campaign selection filter" can either be inclusive or exclusive. During the execution, the including filters are evaluated first and the results are combined in one list. From this list, the contacts found for all exclusive filters will be removed. This is basically the same as using Advanced Find to add members to a marketing list using the standard CRM user interface and then using Advanced Find to remove members again.
The queries will be displayed in a plain text (like in the "Excel Export" functionality) and as FetchXml (the underlying query language used internally by the CRM). Read more...

The article ends with two obvious conclusions, concerning how the US can dig out of its 26th place among the world's education systems:
1. Students need to work harder.
2. Schools need to hire the very best teachers.
What's amazing to me is that this needs to be said... but it does!

kaThopaniShad Series Part – 26
Part 26
In the next mantra too brahman that is being discussed is taught:
Mantra 2.1.12:
अङ्गुष्ठमात्रः पुरुषो मध्य आत्मनि तिष्ठति ।
ईशानो भूतभव्यस्य न ततो विजुगुप्सते । एतद्वै तत् ॥ १२ ॥
अङ्गुष्ठमात्रः of the size of a thumb पुरुषः is the puruSha मध्ये आत्मनि in the centre of the body तिष्ठति dwells. ईशानः He is the Lord भूतभव्यस्य of the past and the future न ततः upon knowing Him विजुगुप्सते one does not protect oneself एतत् this alone वै indeed तत् is That.
The puruSha, of the size of a thumb, dwells in the body. He is the Lord of the past and the future. After knowing Him, one does not conceal oneself any more. This, verily, is That.
By saying 'of the size of the thumb' this is meant: The physical heart has a space inside that is of the size of one's thumb. This is the location where the mind adjunct is said to be. The puruSha who resides here in the space that is akin to the space within a bamboo, with the mind as adjunct, is the one who fills the entire creation. And this location is in the middle of the body and hence the puruSha of the thumb-size is said to be located there. He is the Lord of the entire creation and realizing Him as non-different from oneself constitutes liberation from the finitude of saMsAra. Such liberation is expressed in terms of 'not craving to protect oneself from the trammels of saMsAra.'
Further it is taught:
Mantra 2.1.13:
अङ्गुष्ठमात्रः पुरुषो ज्योतिरिवाधूमकः ।
ईशानो भूतभव्यस्य स एवाद्य स उ श्वः ॥ एतद्वै तत् ॥ १३ ॥
अङ्गुष्ठमात्रः of the size of a thumb पुरुषः is the puruSha ज्योतिः इव like a flame अधूमकः without smoke. ईशानः the Lord भूतभव्यस्य of the past and the future स He एव is the same अद्य today स He उ also श्वः tomorrow. एतत् this वै indeed तत् is That
The puruSha, of the size of a thumb, is like a flame without smoke. The Lord of the past and the future, He is the same today and tomorrow. This, verily, is That.
Here some other facets of the puruSha, brahman, are being brought out. brahman is pure Consciousness. This objectless Consciousness is often compared to light, fire, etc. Just as a bright fire is not enveloped by smoke, letting the brightness be experienced without hindrance, this brahman-consciousness that is ever present in one's being is experienced by adepts in the methods of perceiving It within their heart. This Consciousness is the immutable brahman which is the Lord of the entire creation, of the past and the future. He is Eternal, immutable and is available in all sentient beings today, now. Since He is the Eternal Consciousness, it goes without saying that He will continue to be in every sentient being tomorrow too. By saying so the mantra conveys that there is none that is equal to Him that will be born in the future to dwell in the sentient beings.
In other words, the unbroken eternality taught in the bRRhadAraNyaka upaniShad (4.3.30) in the passage न हि विज्ञातुर्विज्ञातेः विपरिलोपो विद्यते, अविनाशित्वात् [there is never the lapse of the Knowledge of the knower since It is Imperishable] is taught here too. Whether there is the manifest creation consisting of the knower, knowing and the knowable objects, or not, the Consciousness that is only incidental behind the knowing activity, however, is ever present. That is why It is, in Its absolute nature, never tied down to any objective knowledge. The object-free Knowledge, verily Consciousness, is the Eternal brahman that is the very nature of the knower-aspirant who appears as a bound entity while in the throes of ignorance. It is to bring him back to his true senses, that is, his true Eternal Consciousness-nature, that the upaniShad strives tirelessly.
Reverting to the mantra under discussion, it is to be noted that by saying 'That is the One that is available today and will be there tomorrow as well' the upaniShad is refuting the possibility 'Some say that He does not exist (after death)' that was raised in the mantra (1.1.20) herein by Nachiketa. Even though such a possibility does not stand on logic, the upaniShad refutes it by its own words. Also, by extension, the theory of momentariness of consciousness too stands annulled.
The upaniShad never tires to denounce difference, of any kind, in the absolute realm. Here the refutation of the erroneous idea of difference with respect to brahman is being done in a very appealing manner:
Mantra 2.1.14:
यथोदकं दुर्गे वृष्टं पर्वतेषु विधावति ।
एवं धर्मान्पृथक्पश्यंस्तानेवानुविधावति ॥ १४ ॥
यथा just as उदकं water दुर्गे on a mountain peak वृष्टं rained पर्वतेषु on the rocks विधावति runs down एवं so too धर्मान् entities different from the Self पृथक् पश्यन् seeing as different तानेव them alone अनुविधावति runs in pursuit.
As rainwater falling on a mountain peak runs down to the abyss in all directions, even so he who sees the attributes as different from brahman verily runs after them in all directions.
The upaniShad spells out the dire consequence of taking as real the multiplicity seen in the state of ignorance. A suitable analogy is employed here to convey the message: When it rains on a mountain peak, the water, finding its natural levels, flows down to the spots that lie at the lower ranges. There is no effort involved in accomplishing this. So too when a person entertains as real the idea of difference, multiplicity, in the world, actually strengthens the erroneously deeply ingrained idea of difference, bheda, thereby ending up perpetuating the saMsAra born of bheda-buddhi, the notion of difference. Primarily, by 'difference' is meant the idea of finitude. This is the fundamental error since the upaniShadic fact is that there is absolutely no room for difference in the Impartite brahman. The upaniShad teaches brahman as an Infinite mass of consciousness, giving no room for any object, subtle or gross, as different from brahman. This fact is not known to the ignorance-enveloped person and he goes about imagining a variety of objects, sentient and insentient in a world, also imagined by him. If only the truth of one's own infinitude be grasped and firmly internalized, there is no occasion for any difference whatsoever. Such an eternal state is liberation, mokSha. One realizes that there is no danger to one's Being from any quarter, for there is nothing that is not this Being, Sat.
In the sequel the upaniShad, with the help of an analogy, teaches the attainment, nay, realization, of the Oneness of Being:
Mantra 2.1.15:
यथोदकं शुद्धे शुद्धमासिक्तं तादृगेव भवति ।
एवं मुनेर्विजानत आत्मा भवति गौतम ॥ १५ ॥
यथा just as उदकं शुद्धे into pure water शुद्धम् आसिक्तं pure water is poured तादृक् just as it एव alone भवति becomes एवं so also मुनेः विजानतः of the knower-sage आत्मा the Self भवति becomes गौतम O, Gautama.
As pure water poured into pure water becomes one with it, so also, O Gautama, does the Self of the sage who knows.
Just as when pure water is poured into pure water becomes one with the host-water indistinguishable, so too the self of the sage who realizes the Supreme Self becomes no different from It. In other words, the One Only Supreme Atman is realized to be none other than the aspirant's self, for if it is not so, there cannot be infinitude of the Self. If anything apart from the Infinite, ananta, Atman is admitted, then such an object will limit the Atman and no longer can there be infinitude, anantatvam. Therefore, the erroneous notion of perceiving duality as real that is held by the uninformed logicians and the view of the non-believers, nAstika-s, should never be entertained. On the other hand, he who frees himself from these wrong views and aligns himself with the way of the committed followers of the vedAnta, should seek by all efforts the attainment/realization of the One Atman, the secondless Being. Such a one is assured of the Grace of the veda who is greater than a thousand fathers and mothers, always intent on the aspirant's supreme welfare. Indeed it is not easy to come to the path of the veda. It takes great courage for one, even if he is born into a family of vedic followers, to really know the true worth of the ultimate teaching of the veda which is advaitam. For, the fear of losing one's pseudo self takes over an aspirant and prevents him from making progress in the supremely beneficial path.
Here ends the first section of the second part of the kaThopaniShat.

Prony Bay Chimneys Have Surprising First Inhabitants
At the bottom of Prony Bay by New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean, lies a field of tall, rocky edifices called chimneys, which form from streams of warm, alkaline fluids that emerge from the seafloor. These chimneys, and the hydrothermal vent fluids that pour out of them, offer a window into the conditions that exist in recesses in the rocks deep beneath the ocean floor, and into the microbes that survive there, in circumstances that could be close to the habitat that supported the first cells on Earth.
DCO's Céline Pisapia, Emmanuelle Gérard, and Bénédicte Ménez (all from the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, France) and colleagues, examined chimneys in Prony Bay that are still in the process of forming, to identify the first organisms that colonize them. In a new paper in Frontiers in Microbiology, they report the detection of filamentous bacteria, which serve as scaffolding for the chimneys, and likely live on organic compounds present in the vent fluids.
"We were particularly interested in the very young chimneys, the ones that are newly formed," said senior author Ménez. "There we expected to find microbes that could represent the ones that live at depth within the rocks."
Prony Bay is a shallow lagoon, which allowed divers to access the chimneys easily and collect rocks from actively venting chimneys of different ages. Researchers used scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy with probes for specific DNA sequences to see the bacteria within the chimney samples. They observed filamentous bacteria that form long chains, with minerals attaching to them. The filaments appeared to act like iron rebar in concrete, to support the chimney's growth.
The researchers isolated individual bacterial filaments through laser microdissection. They analyzed the minerals growing on the filaments using X-ray diffraction and found brucite and some hydrotalcite had formed on filaments within the youngest chimney.
Analysis of microbial DNA extracted from the dissected rock samples suggests that the filamentous bacteria belong to the Firmicutes phylum, and are descended from organisms that inhabited an early branch on the tree of life. They also identified sequences from two other bacterial groups known to live in hydrothermal and sub-seafloor environments.
Researchers were surprised to find that these colonizing microbes came from groups that may consume organic carbon compounds for energy, rather than synthesizing their own food from inorganic sources – a process called autotrophy. The fluids that discharge from the hydrothermal vents come from serpentinization reactions that occur between seawater and minerals in the surrounding mantle rocks and are rich in H2. In the presence of CO2, these compounds are the perfect energy and carbon sources for methanogens. But the serpentinization reaction can also produce abiotic organic compounds, whose diversity scientists have not fully explored.
"We expected to find autotrophic microbes that can use inorganic carbon, such as CO2," said Pisapia. "But in Prony Bay, methanogens, which have this capability, were not the first colonizers. They were only detected once the chimneys matured."
With their IPGP colleague Emmanuelle Gérard, researchers are now sequencing the genome of single bacterial cells dissected from the chimneys. They hope that the genome will illuminate the metabolic processes that the microbes use to thrive in the Prony Bay chimneys and within pores in rock beneath the bay.
"Maybe autotrophy is not the main or the only way to survive in mantle-derived rocks, because there could be a lot of organic compounds that derive from purely chemical reactions and are available for life," said Ménez. "We still have to describe the diversity of those compounds and the way they form and that will be one of the goals of our DCO project in the upcoming year."

Another old drawing
I thought of this about 20 or more years ago, but it took me about ten to get around to drawing it. The original plan was to come up with a bunch of famous quotations and then illustrate them inappropriately, but I got this far and ran out of ideas. Maybe it's time to find some more quotes and give it another shot. Did this Erasmus guy say anything else funny?

Covering Proposition 65 News and Events Since 1987
Author: Jack Schatz/Tuesday, March 21, 2017/Categories: Science, California Law and Regulation, CalEPA, OEHHA, Prop65, Litigation, Regulatory Proposals, US EPA
Fresno Superior Court Judge Kristi Kapetan has finalized her tentative ruling against Monsanto, which allows California's Office of Environmental Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to proceed with its proposed listing glyphosate, the active ingredient in the company's Roundup brand of herbicides, as a chemical "known to the state of California to cause cancer" under Proposition 65.
On January 21, 2016, Monsanto filed a Declaratory Relief lawsuit against CAL/EPA's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to block the agency's notice of intent to list glyphosate as a Prop 65 carcinogen.
OEHHA issued the notice after the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) issued a report on glyphosate that classified the chemical as a "probable human carcinogen." The publication of the IARC monograph triggered OEHHA's duty to list glyphosate as a Prop 65 carcinogen and require the company to warn consumers about the possible danger associated with glyphosate exposure starting one year after the listing takes effect.
Judge Kapetan ruled that none of Monsanto's objections to her tentative ruling were viable because California law allows the state to designate an outside entity for fact-finding tasks and because inclusion on the Proposition 65 list doesn't require Monsanto to provide a warning label. Judge Kapetan observed that "OEHHA can exempt businesses from providing a warning if the chemical poses no significant risk of cancer."
In response to the ruling, Monsanto issued a statement that reiterated that OEHHA's determination was "flawed and baseless" in a statement nearly identical to the one issued after Judge Kapetan's tentative ruling on January 27.
The company vowed to overturn the listing on the basis of science and the law, but it faces far more serious problems in the very near future. Stay tuned!

I had a very quiet Thanksgiving. I stayed home and cross-stitched, while DD went with her dad to his family's get-together. My family did not get together this year - too much tragedy in the last year. In addition to my son's death, my father passed away 10 months after my son. So I watched The Closer marathon all day. I stitched on an ornament and finished it. I keep in touch with my teacher-friends from the middle school that I taught at 23 years. We get together once a month and have a big party every Christmas. I make each of them an ornament each year. I have to make 15 ornaments. I have finished 4 of them so far. I really need to get them done. Our party will be in about 2 weeks.
Today my son's best friend came to visit and ate lunch with us. He has really had a hard time since my son's death. He is like my own son and has always called me Mom. When he was little (he and my son had been friends since they were 4-years-old and in daycare together), he would not eat hardly anything! It was so awful trying to fix something he would eat. My own children were not picky eaters at all. They would always eat anything I fixed. Finally, I made sloppy joes (my recipe) and he loved them! Since then he always wants me to fix sloppy joes everytime he comes. We had a very good time today and shed a few tears together.
DD left to go to work. She is a waitress in a local restaurant. I haven't eaten there yet. She's only been working there 2 weeks. Her dad and I are going to eat dinner there tonight and sit in her section. She doesn't know; we are surprising her! Well I THOUGHT we were surprising her - her dad just told me that he told her we were going to eat there! He can't ever keep a secret!
I will post pictures of my c-stitch work real soon. DD has promised to help me; she has a site on my space. Got to go and start another ornament.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Police have arrested three men in connection with a shooting at an Overbrook convenience store that left the owner critically injured on Tuesday morning.
Eric Floyd, 25, of Overbrook, Devron Lewis, 24, of Darby and Devin Miller, 22, of Darby have been arrested for the shooting.
According to police, two men walked into 65th Street Deli Food Market located at 6500 Lebanon Avenue at approximately 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, ordered a hoagie, and then announced a robbery.
The men shot the store owner in the head and left the store, apparently without taking any cash or goods, Lt. John Walker of the Southwest Detective Division said.
Tips from neighbors led police to Floyd, whose car matched the description of the getaway vehicle and was found parked at a Pathmark store on Marshall Road in Upper Darby. Floyd works at the grocery store and was arrested there Wednesday, Walker said.
Lewis surrendered to police on Thursday morning and Miller turned himself in Thursday evening. Miller and Lewis were both inside the store at the time of the shooting, but it was unclear which one fired at the clerk, Walker said.
The victim was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was listed in critical condition as of late Thursday night.
All three are being charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, violation of the uniform firearms act (VUFA), criminal conspiracy, robbery and related offenses.
Miller has an additional charge of attempted murder. Floyd and Lewis have an additional charge of attempted criminal homicide.
The three are in police custody and awaiting a preliminary court appearance.

Advanced Probability for Poker Players
By Tony Guerrera
The first article in this two-part series featured on Poker Helper gave you the basics that will help you make informed decisions at the tables. This article will go into more advanced material that you'll be able to use when doing analysis away from the table. Doing analysis away from the table is just as important as putting in playing time because when you're away from the table, you can think long and carefully about situations that you might not have been able to think clearly about in the heat of battle. Having done quality analysis away from the table, you can then return to the tables as a more knowledgeable and profitable player.
Mutual Exclusivity and Complements
Suppose that we hold a set of unpaired hole cards: AK for example. What's the probability of flopping at least one ace or king? One way of expressing this probability is as follows:
Note that a "GC" refers to a Good Card, meaning an ace or a king. The reason we can add the probabilities P(1 GC), P(2 GCs), and P(3 GCs) is that the events "1 Good Card," "2 Good Cards," and "3 Good Cards" are mutually exclusive, meaning that there's no overlap between them. It's impossible to have a flop that satisfies more than one condition at once.
Even though we know how to find P(1 GC), P(2 GCs), and P(3 GCs), mutual exclusivity gives us a big shortcut. The entire set of outcomes for flops, with respect to the number of Good Cards, is {0, 1, 2, 3}. This means that (in general, the probabilities of the entire set of outcomes must add up to 1). This means that . Flopping no Good Cards is said to be the complement of flopping at least one Good Card. To find the probability of flopping at least one good card, we can do the following:
- Find the probability of the complement (flopping no Good Cards).
- Subtract the probability of the complement from 1 to get the probability of flopping at least one Good Card
Given that you hold AK, there are combinations of flops without an ace or a kind. There are total combinations of flops given that you hold AK. Therefore, the probability of flopping no aces or kings is , and the probability of flopping at least one ace or king is about .
Joint Probabilities and Conditional Probabilities
A joint probability is the probability of an event that's composed of multiple outcomes. For example, getting dealt AK is a joint event because it involves being dealt an ace and being dealt a king–being dealt an ace and being dealt a king are considered to be individual outcomes that must happen for one to hold AK. Joint probabilities can be found using permutations or combinations, but another useful method exists.
To find joint probabilities, you can take the probability of the first event and multiply it by the probability of the second event. If there's a third event, you'd multiply by that probability as well, and you'd keep on multiplying until you've multiplied every probability of every individual outcome comprising the joint event. Sometimes it's easier to use permutations or combinations, but other times, this method will get you your answer much faster.
Let's consider the probability of being dealt pocket aces. The probability that the first card is an ace is . If one card is drawn, and it's an ace, then there are 51 cards left in the deck for the second draw–3 which are aces. The probability that the second card is also an ace is . The probability of being dealt pocket aces is therefore
Note that the probability of the first card being an ace is not the same as the probability of the second card being an ace because the deck is not identical on both draws. The second probability, , is called a conditional probability because it's the probability of the second card being an ace, given that the first card drawn was an ace.
If we refer to the outcome of the first card being an ace as A and the outcome of the second card being an ace as B, the probability of B given that A occurred is written symbolically as ; the symbol "|" means "given." The probabilities of A and B are said to be dependent because the probability of B changes depending on whether A happened. In general, the joint probability of an event comprising dependent outcomes is , and if P(B|A) is simply equal to P(B), that means that B is independent of A.
Probabilities are Based Off Of How Much We Know
Ultimately, probabilities are a function of our knowledge. Any probability calculation we do is dependent on what we know about a situation. Let's find the probability of seeing a flop containing three aces. The way this situation is worded, we must assume that the flop is being drawn from a deck of 52 cards. The number of combinations of flops containing three aces is . The total number of combinations of flops is . Therefore, the probability of seeing a flop containing three aces is .
Now, let's find the probability of seeing a flop containing three aces given that we hold AK. The information we have changes the numbers that go into the calculation. First, there are only three aces left in the deck, meaning that there's only one combination of flops that contains three aces. Second, holding AK reduces the number of cards in the deck to 50, meaning that there are combinations of flops. Therefore, given that we hold AK, the probability of seeing a flop containing three aces is instead of .
When calculating probabilities, it's very important to keep track of whether events are independent of each other. You also need to be aware of your state of knowledge concerning the situation you're calculating probabilities for. Whenever you write down a probability, check to see if it makes sense according to what's physically happening. For example, if you draw an ace from a deck of cards, there's no possible way that the probability of the second card being an ace is also because after drawing the first ace, there are only 3 aces remaining in a 51-card deck. By constantly checking yourself along the way, you should minimize the likelihood of you making a mistake when calculating probabilities, and maximize the validity of the information you take with you to the tables!

National Review Online has this information about Howard Dean's vote in 1983 to weaken the anti-incest laws in Vermont.
The bill was introduced by a Republican legislator (remember, we're talking about Vermont so it's not like she was a real Republican) to benefit her neighbors: "'They're a super-neat couple who don't have any money, and they just have each other, and I think they should be able to get married if they want to,' [Elizabeth] Edwards told United Press International for a February 23, 1983, story." Dean voted with the Vermont House majority to pass the bill; the Vermont Senate killed it in committee.
Naturally, this begs the question -- if they only have each other, and they're 65 and 86, why does the couple (a woman and her blood-uncle) need to enter a sexual relationship sanctioned by marriage?
Yuck. So much for all those Arkansas jokes I can rattle off the top of my head. Time to change the state being ridiculed . . .
