Accused in Ledyard home invasion charged in Montville case
A man already charged with carrying out a home invasion burglary on Marla Drive in Ledyard in October 2011 was charged Thursday with a home invasion in Montville around the same time.
Vincent A. Sebastian III, 21, was charged with home invasion/robbery and threatening Thursday during a court appearance stemming from the Ledyard crime. Sebastian's alleged accomplices, Louis Seignious, 23, and Dawayne Sebastian, 20, have also been charged in both home invasions.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the three men knocked on the apartment door at 52 Sunny Hill Drive in Montville on Oct. 3, 2011 at about 9 a.m. Kyle Dubicki, 18, who had slept on the couch after a night of video games and drinking, answered the door. One of the robbers held a knife to Dubicki's throat and demanded that he rouse a man sleeping in the bedroom, according to the affidavit. While the one man held Dubicki in a chokehold with the knife close to his neck, the other two men robbed the occupant, 24-year-old Joseph McCormick, according to the affidavit. The three men left the apartment saying they would return with a gun if police were called.
McCormick said the men forced him to open a safe and hand over $900 in cash. McCormick's 25-year-old housemate, Christopher Floyd, told police that he was asleep in his own bedroom during the incident.
Seignious, who eventually spoke with police about multiple crimes that had occurred in the region during the month of October 2011, said he and the Sebastians had taken 7½ ounces of marijuana and no cash during the Sunny Hill Drive robbery.
McCormick did not report the crime until the next day, according to the affidavit. He said that as he and Dubicki were leaving to report the crime, they saw one of the men from the robbery, later identified as Seignious, sitting in a green Pontiac in the parking lot of the apartment complex. Seignious lived at nearby 65 Sunny Hill Drive.
Seignious and the Sebastians are all being held in prison in connection with the Oct. 14, 2011, home invasion at 13 Marla Drive in Ledyard. State police said they entered the residence armed with handguns and robbed the victims of cash and jewelry.
Seignious, whose bonds total $753,000, cash or surety in the Marla Drive case, was arraigned on the new charges of home invasion and second-degree threatening when he appeared last month in New London Superior Court.
Judge Susan B. Handy set an additional bond of $25,000 and continued the case to Jan. 7.
Dawayne Sebastian, who was charged in October in the Sunny Hill Drive case, is being held in lieu of bonds totaling $500,000. Vincent Sebastian, whose bond is $825,000 for the Marla Drive incident and another robbery case, was held on an additional $150,000 bond in the Sunny Hill Drive case.

Saint Edmund Campion, (born Jan. 25, 1540, London—died Dec. 1, 1581, London; canonized Oct. 25, 1970; feast day October 25), English Jesuit martyred by the government of Queen Elizabeth I.
The son of a London bookseller, Campion was teaching at Oxford University at the time of his ordination (1568) as a deacon in the Anglican church. But in a crisis of conscience he discovered that his sympathies lay with Roman Catholicism. He was received into the Catholic Church at Douai in northern France and in 1573 went to Rome to become a member of the Society of Jesus.
In 1580 Campion joined the first mission that was sent by the Jesuits to minister to the Catholics of England, who were strictly forbidden to practice their religion. Unlike Robert Parsons, he carefully avoided any political involvement on behalf of his religion. After preaching at secret Catholic meetings in Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Lancashire, Campion created a sensation by having 400 copies of his Decem rationes ("Ten Reasons"), a pamphlet denouncing Anglicanism, distributed before a service in St. Mary's, Oxford (June 27, 1581).
He was arrested by a spy at Lyford, Berkshire, on July 17, 1581, and taken to the Tower of London. When he refused under severe torture to recant his religious convictions, his captors invented charges that he had conspired to overthrow the queen. He was convicted of treason and executed. Throughout his ordeal Campion exhibited religious zeal and great courage. Campion Hall at Oxford was named for him. He was canonized in 1970 by Pope Paul VI as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.

Supporters of same-sex marriage gathered for a vigil in downtown Bend Tuesday, on the eve of oral arguments in two federal lawsuits that challenge Oregon's ban on gay marriage.
Sheryle Robin, 59, and Levanah Skye, 61, were among the more than 60 people who gathered Tuesday evening at the corner of Northwest Wall Street and Newport Avenue. Robin and Skye, who recently moved to Bend, have been together since 1978, when they met at work in San Francisco.
"Our 35th anniversary will be July 3, 2015, and we would really like to get married for our 35th anniversary," Robin said. "It's about our rights to stay connected as a family."
Four couples filed two separate lawsuits seeking to overturn Oregon's ban gay marriage last year, and U.S. District Judge Michael McShane consolidated the two cases. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum announced in March that the Oregon Department of Justice would not defend the state's ban on gay marriage, which voters approved in 2004. The state had already announced last year it would recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
But on Monday, the National Organization for Marriage filed a motion to intervene in the case so that it could argue to keep the state constitutional amendment limiting marriage to one man and one woman. The group asked McShane to delay the oral arguments scheduled for today. McShane said Tuesday that he would allow arguments in the case to continue, and hold a hearing May 14 on the National Organization for Marriage's motion to intervene.
The National Organization for Marriage wrote in a court document that its members include more than one county clerk in Oregon, although the group did not identify the clerks by name or the counties where they serve. The Oregon law firm representing the National Organization for Marriage referred inquiries to the group's public relations staff, who did not return a call for comment on Tuesday.
The group Oregon United for Marriage announced earlier this year it has 160,000 signatures, enough to qualify for the November ballot a measure that, if approved, would remove the same-sex marriage ban. However, the group decided to await the outcome of the court case, after Rosenblum announced the state would not defend the ban.
Peter Zuckerman, a spokesman for Oregon United for Marriage, said the group is waiting to see if McShane will rule by May 23.
"We're going to win the freedom to marry this year, whether it's through the courts or through the ballot box," said Zuckerman said. "We had said that if we get a ruling by May 23, we would withdraw our effort to put it on the ballot."
The state legislature passed a law to allow domestic partnerships in 2007, but one of the federal lawsuits describes these unions as a "separate and unequal institution."
Katie Wendel, 57, of Bend, said in an interview Tuesday the case will impact her family, because she has a gay son and a gay nephew.
"I want them to be treated the same as everyone else and have the same rights as everyone else," Wendel said. Wendel said her son "would be a wonderful family man and parent, and everyone should have the right to come home to someone they love, and every parent wants that for his or her child. I've been married for over 30 years, and I'm sure glad that I have that. I'm hoping everyone can have that."
At the vigil Tuesday night, Becky Groves, 52, of Prineville, said her son and his partner currently live in Louisiana, but they are planning to return to Oregon and are engaged to be married.
"It's very exciting," Groves said of the federal court cases. "I'm really confident (the judge is) going to overturn the ban."
Pat Ackley, 74, of Bend, said the movement to legalize same-sex marriage is the same as other campaigns for equal rights. "I fought for women's rights and civil rights years ago," Ackley said. "This is absolutely a right we have to fight for. I believe when we discriminate against one group, we diminish the rest of us."
The Rev. Jenny Warner, who is from the First Presbyterian Church of Bend but was not representing the church at the vigil, said marriage is challenging, and people willing to make that commitment deserve support.
"I've realized this is all about love and commitment," Warner said. "I'm for anyone who wants to make that commitment."
Zuckerman, with Oregon United for Marriage, said a poll completed for the group earlier this year showed 55 percent of likely voters support legalizing same-sex marriage.
"Oregon is ready for this, for us to win," Zuckerman said.

GELID Silent Spirit Review
When deciding to upgrade a heat sink to keep a processor running good, a few key questions arise: how effectively does it cool, how loud does it operate, is it easy to install, and how well does it fit in with the computer. Some aftermarket heat sinks are designed for optimal silence, and others for cooling with more still falling between the two extremes. Featuring four heatpipes and a top mounted fan, this heatsink reminds me of the TT Big Typhoon in the looks department.
Gelid is a relatively new company, founded in 2008 and located in Hong Kong, China. According to the company, the name comes from "The English word "gelid" [which] is derived from the Latin word "gelidus" (extremely cold, icy)." They currently produce two lines of fans, heat sinks, and other products for gamers and for silence including thermal paste. The company's vision is to "Combine quality and ingenuity to set the standard in creating best- in- class products for global computer enthusiasts ". The product reviewed today is their Silent Spirit, which is geared towards silent operation.
Closer Look:
The packaging for the Silent Spirit feels high quality, and is covered with information and designs. The front gives a sneak peek to the cooler, along with logo, brand, and website address, also detailed is the four centered heat pipes. The side lists the key features of the heat sink, including silent operation, long life, rubber fan mounts, high airflow, an intelligent PWM curve, optimized fan blade design, unique heat sink angle, fin architecture, and heat pipes. Also shown is a chart comparing generic regular PWM curves against those in the Gelid fan.
The rear panel lists the features in much more depth, reiterating with a broader explanation of what the side panel said, and giving specifications such as the maximum air flow of 45.8 cfm, thermal conductivity of 0.17 c/w, noise variance of 10-25.8 dBA, life time MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) of 50,000 hrs at 40c ambient, and 5 year warranty. The other remaining side lists all compatible processors, ranging from socket 754 to AM2+ Phenom 9850BE on the AMD side, and All Pentium and Core 2 processors from Intel. For socket 1366 mounting clips must be purchased separately. An image indicated the direction of airflow, and possible mounting orientation.
The top is decorated with a silky silhouette, continued across the entire package. The top is perforated in two places, the side for opening the flap that helps keep the box shut, and the middle for a punch-out that may be inserted for hanging the box in a retail setting. The bottom lists RoHS compliance, barcode, and being "Made in China".
Once open, the flaps reveal the punch-out, and the manual neatly sitting on top of the heat sink. The heat sink itself is held in place and protected by a two-piece plastic mold. Underneath it all is the AM2 mounting brackets, and Gelid case badge.
For mounting to the latest Intel socket 1366, brackets must be ordered separately. The front of the box echoes the design of the heat sink, lists the function – mounting clip for CPU cooler, with a basic drawing of the brackets. The side lists the same information, and that it is compatible with the Gelid Silent Spirit.
The rear explains how to install the new brackets in five languages, the dimensions of the mounting clips, weight, and 1366 application. The box itself only contains the clips, inside a baggie.
Now that we are familiarized with the packaging, and equipped with the tools to mount it, let's take a look at the Silent Spirit.

The coast of Maine is such a wonderful place to live. I feel fortunate to have landed in the Camden area and established a successful real estate career over the past eight years. I enjoy people and understand that it takes patience, perseverance and hard work to succeed in this business. I especially like the challenge and competition of finding that "perfect" Maine oceanfront cottage or village Victorian because buying a property is such an important and potentially life-changing event. I also enjoy working with sellers and representing their properties for sale in the most professional, accurate, and creative ways in order to bring about the visibility necessary for a successful sale. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., I graduated from Emory University in Atlanta and have worked as an outdoor educator, EMT/Ski Patroller, and grade-school teacher. I know how to listen, scout for properties and move quickly and thoughtfully to serve my clients. I share this beautiful and special place with my wife and four children. My appreciation for our community has led me to be active in the fire department, rescue squad, Camden Snow Bowl and various town committees and groups.

A Tuscaloosa engineer running for a seat in the Alabama House of Representatives said the state's politicians need to focus on stabilizing the economy and limiting government.
A Tuscaloosa engineer running for a seat in the Alabama House of Representatives said the state's politicians need to focus on stabilizing the economy and limiting government.
Jamey Clements is seeking the Republican nomination for the House District 62 seat, which Rep. John Merrill, R-Tuscaloosa, is leaving to run for secretary of state. The primary will be held in June 2014 and the general election will be that November.
"I believe in small, limited government and will keep that mind-set and advocate that position if elected," Clements said. "I will continue to build on the conservative policies the Republican Party has brought to Montgomery since taking majorities in both houses in 2010."
Rich Wingo, a former University of Alabama football player, announced in June that he is seeking the Republican nomination for the House seat.
District 62 includes portions of southern and eastern Tuscaloosa County. No Democratic candidates have announced.
Clements is a lifelong Tuscaloosa County resident who grew up in the New Lexington area and graduated from Northside High School. He attended Shelton State Community College and the University of Alabama and has worked as an engineer for different Tuscaloosa firms during his career. He now serves as vice-president of engineering at PELA GeoEnvironmental, an environmental consulting and engineering firm.
Clements, 48, said he would focus his efforts on the rural communities of Brookwood, Vance, Coaling, Lake View and Abernant that are in the district.
"These towns need a representative to help them grow, prosper and become strong, stable cities," he said.
Clements said he would assist towns and cities in the district with traffic issues and infrastructure needs, including water line expansions, upgrades and improvements and sewer systems.
He said manufacturing jobs are needed to form a stable basis for the area's economy. He said he would support business-friendly policies while working to bring companies that could offer long-term, stable jobs to Tuscaloosa County.
Clements also said he would support education policies that would make the state more autonomous in its policy-making. Local school boards should have more authority to adapt and adjust to the specific needs of their area, he said.
"Most powers should reside within the local school boards. The State Department of Education should be small and limited in scope," he said. "There should not be a federal Department of Education. We don't need big brother dictating our every move, we can figure it out."
Clements described himself as a Frederick Douglass Republican, and said he is in favor of personal responsibility, limited government, respect for the Constitution, life and family.
He is an adjunct professor at the University of Alabama's College of Engineering and is the faculty adviser for the university's College Republicans. He is vice-chairman of the Tuscaloosa County Republican Executive Committee and a member of the state Republican Executive Committee. He was a delegate who supported Rick Santorum at the 2012 Republican National Convention. Clements ran for Tuscaloosa County Commission's District 3 seat in 2012, but was defeated by longtime incumbent Bobby Miller.
Clements serves as a deacon at Calvary Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa. He lives in Tuscaloosa with his wife Lorrie Averette Clements and their children, Jacob and Lindsey.
His website is www.jameyclements.com. His Facebook page is "Elect Jamey Clements."

Some elbow grease and Kiwanis funds are helping the Island of Hawaii YMCA reach even more children this year.
Contacted by the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation because of its community involvement, the Kiwanis Club of East Hawaii was informed that the foundation can award nonprofit organizations a US$10,000 check if they execute a project for another nonprofit organization supporting children in the community. The Weinberg Foundation aims to assist financially disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals and families through grants to service organizations. The Kiwanis club chose to give this benefit to the Island of Hawaii YMCA, which works to meet the health and human service needs of families and children. Its services range from preschool and after school care to health and wellness activities.
But the club's gift to the center wasn't only financial. Utilizing the help of its sponsored Circle K club at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, the club began renovating the walls of the facility by cleaning and repainting them and refurbishing the bathrooms.
The significance of their dirty work wasn't lost on those who helped.
"The painting and construction project for the Waiakea YMCA was much needed given the difficulty that many non-profit organizations face in obtaining program funds," explains Kiwanian Delmar Kleckner. "The project brought the Kiwanis and Circle K members together for an opportunity to work and get to know each other better. The pre-school program serves many families in the Hilo community and having a clean, safe and well maintained facility goes a long way in providing this much needed service."
Another member, Hunter Bishop, agrees. "It's always a pleasure to join in these types of Kiwanis projects," he reflects. "You really begin to understand the true spirit of aloha (compassion) when so many people come together to do something so worthwhile in our community. Imua (continue with purpose), Kiwanis!"
The YMCA is more than grateful for their labor of love.
"We annually serve approximately 2,500 children, ages 3-18 years old, says Fred Yamashiro, the CEO/CFO of the Island of Hawaii YMCA. "Approximately 80 percent of the children are from lower income families and require scholarships so they can participate in our programs. The Kiwanis/Weinberg grant will be used to enhance our scholarship fund. We deeply believe in the principle that no child will be turned away from participating, so your gift truly helps us to fulfill this principle." –Courtney Meyer
Kiwanis celebrates 50 years in Europe.

A favorite breakfast around here is yogurt topped with granola. This granola is super easy and really tasty —very crunchy!
1 1/2 cups brown sugar OR (1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar)
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt (I use Kosher salt)
8 cups rolled oats (not quick or instant)
2 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans, walnuts and slivered almonds)
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
Combine brown sugar and water. Place in microwave (use a large microwave safe bowl –mixture will bubble) on high for 5 minutes or cook on stove top until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from stove or microwave, add vanilla and salt.
Combine oats, nuts, and brown sugar syrup mixture. Stir until mixed. Spread the granola onto cookie sheets or a very large jelly roll pan (12 x 18) and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden and crunchy. You may add in dried fruit as it comes out of the oven. Store cooled granola in an airtight container.
Recipe adapted from Kathleen Daelemans "Crunchy Granola"

CHICAGO — Patrick Kane and the Chicago Blackhawks have that look again, and another Stanley Cup is within reach.
Kane scored two goals, goaltender Corey Crawford shook off Wednesday's erratic performance by stopping 24 shots and the Blackhawks beat the Boston Bruins 3-1 on Saturday night to take a 3-2 lead in the finals.
Kane had a terrific postseason when Chicago won it all in 2010, including the winning score in a 4-3 overtime victory in Philadelphia that secured the title. Now he's picking up steam as the Blackhawks move closer to another championship, collecting seven goals in the last seven games.
Dave Bolland added an empty-net score in the closingt seconds and Jonathan Toews had two assists before leaving with an injury. The captain took a big hit in the second period and did not play in the third.
The Bruins also lost one of their key players when Patrice Bergeron was injured in the second. It was unclear what happened to the star center, but the team said he was taken to a hospital for observation.
Game 6 is Monday night in Boston.
With the Blackhawks up 2-0, defenseman Zdeno Chara scored in the third period for Boston, which lost consecutive games for the first time since the first round against Toronto. Tuukka Rask made 29 saves, keeping the Bruins close while they scrambled to generate quality chances.
Chara got a nice pass from David Krejci from behind the net and beat Crawford on the glove side to make it 2-1 at 3:40 in the third period. The whistling slap shot by the big blueliner came after he was on the ice for five of Chicago's goals in the Blackhawks' 6-5 overtime victory in Game 4.
The location of Chara's third postseason goal brought to mind the glove-side difficulties for Crawford in Game 4. But he held up just fine the rest of the way.
He gloved Daniel Paille's slap shot early in the third, and the Blackhawks helped their embattled goaltender by turning up the pressure on Rask after the Bruins cut it to one. Kane forced Rask to make a couple of nice stops, and Michael Frolik also made a run to the net.
The Blackhawks survived one last push by the Bruins after they pulled Rask, and the crowd of 22,274 roared when the overhead videoboard showed the No. 1 and the Stanley Cup on the screen, signifying the team is one victory away from its fifth title.
Boston and Chicago returned to the ice three days after they played the highest-scoring game in this year's NHL playoffs. There were five goals in the second period alone, matching the total from the previous two games combined, and Brent Seabrook's overtime score lifted the Blackhawks to the series-tying victory.
It was a marked departure from the first three games of the finals, and raised questions about what the play would be like in the last part of the series. The answer, at least in Game 5, was a return to the strong team defense and disciplined play. It meant little room to maneuver in both offensive zones, especially for the series' biggest stars.
Only Kane was sure able to find enough space.
With 2 minutes left in the first, Johnny Oduya's long slap shot broke the stick of Boston defenseman Dennis Seidenberg and trickled to the left side of the net where Kane poked it in for eighth playoff goal.
The line of Kane, Toews and Bryan Bickell, which Coach Joel Quenneville put back together before Game 4, struck again in the second. Bickell was stopped by Rask on a rush along the left side, but skated behind the net and threw it back in front.
The puck went off the right side of the goal as Rask got his blocker to the post. Kane then deftly backhanded the bouncing puck into the top of the net to make it 2-0 at 5:13.
That proved to be enough for Crawford, who has allowed fewer than two goals in nine games this postseason. But this one had to be particularly satisfying after facing a barrage of questions about his glove over the past few days.
Since the NHL went to a best-of-seven format for the Stanley Cup in 1939, the winner of Game 5 in a deadlocked series has gone on to win the title 15 times in 22 occasions.
Those numbers likely don't scare Boston very much. The Bruins faced the same situation against Vancouver in 2011 and came back to win the championship.
NOTES: Former Blackhawks G Ed Belfour received a loud ovation and chants of "Ed-die! Ed-die!" when he was shown on the videoboard in the second period. Belfour backstopped the Blackhawks to the 1992 finals, where they lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins. He also played for San Jose, Dallas, Toronto and Florida … Actress Michelle Pfeiffer and her husband David Kelley, a TV writer and producer, attended the game … This series marks the first time Boston and Chicago have met in the playoffs since the Bruins won a semifinal round in 1978.

Emma Stone: The Cool Girl
Hello Sexy! Dress, Viktor & Rolf; Bracelets, Flutter by Jill Golden; Shoes, Alexander Wang
You know her from
Easy A* (she was a redhead then!)
Look for her next in
*Crazy, Stupid, Love.
The Help
The Amazing Spider-Man*GLAMOUR: You're one of Glamour's new faces of Hollywood. Do you feel like one?
EMMA STONE: [Puts on a mock glamour face and breathes in a sexy voice.] Hell, yeah. [Laughs.] That's really flattering. I just like to keep working and being able to pay my bills.
GLAMOUR: You got a Golden Globe nomination for Easy A. What were you thinking when that happened?
EMMA STONE: I didn't expect it at all. And I got to sit next to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie [at the ceremony], so…
GLAMOUR: You did?
EMMA STONE: My mom was with me; she was my date. She was saying things [to them] like, "Do you have kids? Let me tell you something." I was like, "Mom, you know they have kids. It's Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. You are aware they have kids." It was so awesome.
GLAMOUR: Moms can get away with that stuff! What's the best advice she has given you?
EMMA STONE: Oh, my Lord. She is the greatest person on earth. She always helps me deal with things as they happen instead of planning them all out ahead of time. But that's one of 600 billion pieces of advice she's given me. [Laughs.]
GLAMOUR: As the story goes, you wanted to leave high school and move to L.A., and begged your parents with a PowerPoint presentation. You were obviously very driven. Were you also terrified?
EMMA STONE: I had massive anxiety as a child. I was in therapy. From 8 to 10, I was borderline agora-phobic. I could not leave my mom's side. I don't really have panic attacks anymore, but I had really bad anxiety. There was a lot of fear, but it was also very exciting.
GLAMOUR: Of all the careers you could have picked, this was the craziest, no?
EMMA STONE: But it got me out of that. It made me feel great. I started doing improv the year after my tough two years. It helped.
GLAMOUR: Did you finish high school?
EMMA STONE: I have my GED—my "good-enough degree."
GLAMOUR: [Laughs.] Do you think you'll go to college?
EMMA STONE: There's so much I'm interested in that I didn't discover in high school. For The Amazing Spider-Man, because Gwen is a scientist, we went to a lab in San Diego, and we were learning about biology. And I'm fascinated! Because I never went to biology class in high school. [Laughs.]
GLAMOUR: You once said that if you weren't an actress, you'd want to be a journalist.
EMMA STONE: I really like grammar. And spelling. I was a spelling-bee kid. I'm hard-core about grammar.
GLAMOUR: What if a guy you're dating is a bad speller in an e-mail? Does that bug you?
EMMA STONE: It's tough. Really tough. The wrong "you're"? The wrong "they're"? Doesn't that bug you? Because…ugh…I hate it.
GLAMOUR: What do you look for in a guy?
EMMA STONE: Honestly, I cannot put a finger on it. One guy could do something that I would find deplorable, and [with] another guy I'd find it charming…. It depends on the person. The one thing that needs to be there is that indefinable spark of sorts. But I'm 22 years old….I have no idea what I'm talking about. [Laughs.]
GLAMOUR: You're playing Ryan Gosling's love interest in Crazy, Stupid, Love.
EMMA STONE: Yeah, ugchh. [Makes a sarcastic grossed-out face and laughs.]
GLAMOUR: [Laughs.] You also have The Amazing Spider-Man coming up next.
EMMA STONE: It's different than anything else I've done. There's a lot of blue screen. The other day I was reacting to a thing that wasn't there. It's like being a kid in a refrigerator box.
GLAMOUR: Is there anyone you'd be a wreck meeting?
EMMA STONE: Diane Keaton. [Meeting her] is like going underground at Disneyland: "You're so magical, and now I know you!" Steve Martin, too. The Jerk is my favorite movie.
GLAMOUR: You really have an old comedy soul.
EMMA STONE: I'm just a product of my parents. They watched SNL and all those movies.
GLAMOUR: You seem really fit. Do you feel pressure to measure up to the skinny Hollywood standard?
EMMA STONE: Aw, boy…I'd be crazy to sit here and tell you that I've never thought about it. [But] I never can beat myself up about it. I definitely am not restrictive. [Laughs.] You're a human being, you live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damn red velvet cupcake.
GLAMOUR: Amen.

Search of the California First District Court of Appeals indicates that the appeal was filed on October 30, 2013, and is assigned appeal number A140132. There are currently no upcoming public hearings listed, and the clerks associated with the appeals process indicate that it could be 6 months to a year before there is any real resolution on the matter. We will update as we hear more.
The press has obviously washed their hands of this case. They have spent too long taking DA Wagstaffe's press briefs as all the digging they need to do... If Wags doesn't want it to be news, then it isn't news.
To the best of my knowledge, victims have not been notified that appeal was filed, even though Wagstaffe told KCBS (pdf) that he was going to be proactive with such information:
According to Wagstaffe, so few victims invoke their rights under Marsy's Law that he wants the attorneys in his office to act as if those rights are automatic, if not outright mandatory."
Other news: As a commenter has noted, ayres has just recently been relocated to the brand-new, state-of-the-art California Health Care Facility, Stockton. (Prison, but with hospital beds -- and razor wire and machine guns....) This is mixed news, as it is likely less overcrowded than his last location, and probably smells less like cow dung in the heat of the summer. And while dipshit daughter Barbara Ayres of Sacramento likely has a somewhat shorter drive to visit the child molester in prison, ayres' wife Solveig Ayres will have a significantly longer commute to see her child molester husband.
We don't know why specifically ayres was moved to this location; hopefully he's contracted the Valley Fever that has been rampant at Deuel.
william hamilton ayres was arrested on April 5, 2007 on charges relating to his molestation of many young boys while he was alleging to provide psychiatric care to private patients as well as referrals for evaluation from the juvenile court system in San Mateo County. After years of playing demented for the courts, ayres plead "No Contest" and was found guilty of all charges against him on May 16, 2013. ayres was sentenced to 8 years in prison on August 26, 2013. ayres is currently inmate number AR2048 and is incarcerated in the California Health Care Facility, Stockton.
ayres has had significant interaction over the years with local politicians on boards like the "Children and Families First Commission," including the DA who was serving when prosecution began, Jim Fox ; and Assemblyman Rich Gordon. In fact, Gordon nominated ayres for a lifetime achievement award for his "Tireless effort to improve the lives of children." ayres has also been vocally supported during his criminal trial by local head-shrinkers like Bart Blinder, Etta Bryant, Mel Blaustein, Harry Coren, Tom Ciesla, Robert Kimmich, Larry Lurie, Maria Lymberis, Richard Shadoan, Captane Thomson, and Harold Wallach.

Every Christmas, electronic tablets and e-readers are at the top of popular gift lists, which causes book lovers to turn away from their once-favorite print editions.
Every Christmas, electronic tablets and e-readers are at the top of popular gift lists, which causes book lovers to turn away from their once-favorite print editions.
In December 2012, Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps forecasted that tablets will reach 112.5 million U.S. consumers — one-third of the U.S. adult population — by 2016. The market was practically nonexistent as recently as early 2010.
But locally, even those who own an iPad or Amazon Kindle say they prefer a real book.
"The feel of paper in your hands, the smell of old paper or the smell of a brand new book," Laura Dufrene said. "There just is no comparison to the hard plastic of electronics."
Angel Ledet, 29, of Houma, agrees, but said she reads electronically when necessary.
"For my kids, I prefer they read actual books," she said. "While reading online is just as good, it just looks so good to see books always in their hands. They love reading."
Katie Conner, 32, of Houma, enjoys the experience of reading an actual book.
"(I enjoy) the crisp, new pages and the satisfaction you feel because you can see your progress as you move through the book," Conner said. "Reading e-books just doesn't compare."
Other locals, like Jamie Luke, of Houma, agreed, adding that reading too much electronically hurts her eyes.
"Books are better for me," she said. "There's nothing like curling up with a good book and feeling the pages in your hands."
Still, local library officials say the amount of electronic book check-outs has rapidly increased in the past one to two years they've been offered.
Overdrive is the e-reading software the Lafourche Parish Public Library System acquired in October 2011. The Library System saw about 8,500 checkouts for e-books from October 2011 to the end of 2012.
"And in January 2013, there's been a 52 percent increase in total circulation over 2012," Lafourche Parish Public Library System Assistant Director Claire Cheramie said. "This has been our best month in the little over a year we've had Overdrive. E-books increased it."
She said she's seeing people of all ages come in asking for help with their tablets.
"People in their 80s even call and ask us about it," Cheramie said.
Though the numbers for borrowed e-books are high, print books still reign highest at more than 94,200.
Cheramie said she's in the print book lovers' category.
"I love holding a book in my hand," she said. "Even though I'm always carrying a giant book in my purse, I like feeling of having it in my hands."
The Terrebonne Parish Library System has seen similar results.
Ross Mays, a reference librarian with the Terrebonne Parish Library System, said he has seen more use of e-books.
"In the three years they've been available here, we've seen more and more people using e-readers of various kinds," he said. "Two years ago Kindle became compatible with library e-books, which means they're now easier to download, so that boosted things a little. Then the iPad became compatible, so even more people started reading them."
Mays said the library staff gets questions three to four times a day from locals with their new e-readers who want to learn how to use them.
"Circulation has gone up in both formats," Mays said. "But e-books are showing the most growth."
E-book borrowing has doubled since 2011 when the amount was a little more than 10,200. In 2012, locals checked out about 21,200 e-books.
Print borrowing has stayed constant at about 120,000 books.
"Personally, for me I have a Kindle and read books on it quite a bit," Mays said. "The most popular books tend to be e-books, so e-readers work well for people who like popular authors like Patricia Cornwell."
Some avid Terrebonne and Lafourche readers don't have a preference, citing their love for print editions, prices and the convenience of e-readers as reasons they take advantage of both.
April Dardar, 30, of Galliano, said she loves having a book in her hand, but she cited the convenience of e-readers because of the amount of space actual books occupy.
They "are a pain when I move from one place to another," she said.
Brandi Bourg of Dulac said she doesn't have a preference.
There's "nothing like being snuggled in bed with an old-fashioned book," she said. "But when the hubby is trying to sleep my lamp keeps him up, so, therefore, my Kindle comes in handy."
However, some locals said they actually prefer e-readers, though there was initially some hesitation in the decision to switch.
"I held off from purchasing an e-book for about six months after buying my tablet," said 29-year-old Schriever resident Harmonie Eschete. "I was afraid to lose the 'real book' connection, but I got over that really quickly. I love the convenience of deciding I like a book and it appearing in less than five minutes."
Kristy Chouest, 33, of Cut-Off, has an Amazon Kindle and said she prefers it to books, "hands down," as well.
"I am one that likes to lie in bed at night and chill out," she said. "Having a light or lamp on disturbs my husband, and I would keep reading all night. With my Kindle I put my background to black so I have minimum light and can read till I fall asleep without disturbing anyone."
Molly Bolden, co-owner of Bent Pages bookstore in Houma, said she thinks people "must not be too in love with the machines," as the store still services customers for print books who own e-readers.
"Folks have relationships with their books. While you're reading, you can look back on the front cover or back cover to remind yourself of something," Bolden said. "Using machines for the convenience makes perfect sense. And for older people, a positive is that you can enlarge the print.
Bolden went on to share her concerns.
"My biggest concern is that it's getting to a place where we are teaching people to pay more attention to a machine instead of something real," she said. "I don't want to replace my books with anything artificial."
Bolden said her books are keepsakes that she sometimes picks up just to hold, gaze at or rub the cover, reminiscing about the story it told.
"I'm not saying I don't think e-readers have a place," she said. "I'm just saying don't let them take the place of the real thing."

Workshop Proceeding
Tracking Radiation Exposure from Medical Diagnostic Procedures: Workshop Report (2012)Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board
The growing use of medical diagnostic procedures such as diagnostic computed tomography, fluoroscopy, and nuclear medicine imaging exams brings tremendous benefits in the care of most patients. Yet there are growing concerns about the potential health risks resulting from the associated radiation exposure and increase in utilization. A number of initiatives in radiation safety in medicine have taken place in the United States and internationally, each serving different purposes. Their ultimate goals are to provide higher quality clinical management of the patient and to ensure that reasonable steps are taken to keep the exposures as low as possible without compromising diagnostic efficacy. The Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board held a workshop that brought together public health regulators, physicians, manufacturers, researchers, and patients to explore "why," "what," and "how" to track exposure from medical diagnostic procedures and possible next steps. It is hoped that this workshop report will be a valuable testimony to the questions other groups will have to face, and the consensus they will have to achieve, if radiation exposure tracking is to become a reality institutionally or nationally in the future.

Jockey Quotes
JOE TALAMO, FLIGHTOFALIFETIME, Winner: "My flight was 45 minutes delayed in Louisville and by the time I got to my connection in Charlotte the plane was long gone, so I had to wait for another flight. That was a flight of a lifetime. I'm glad we got this one…it definitely made up for it. This horse is so quick, I just had to sit on him. He dragged me right to the lead and got it done."
Owners Quotes
BOB IKE (CO-FOUNDING PARTNER, SUMMIT RACING LLC), FLIGHTOFALIFETIME, Winner: "Bob Baffert and (assistant trainer) Mike Marlow talked it over and thought it would be a good idea to run here. We knew he was short last time (April 21 at Santa Anita) and and the only worry was coming back in two weeks. Marlow had the horse over here (Betfair Hollywood Park) most of the time and he loved his blowout (three furlongs in a bullet 35 1/5 May 1). It all worked out. It's great to take down a purse like that."

Where to Find Royalty Free Images & Footage by Jennifer Hudson Taylor
However, since many of us aren't professional photographers, and we can't be everywhere catching every possible image, we often have to rely on photos that others have taken. Therefore, we need to make sure we aren't violating any copyright laws by posting our images. If you take a photo, of objects and places then you have ownership of those photos, but if you take photos of people, you will need to get them to sign a permission release form giving you permission to use and publish their photo. If you choose to use stock photos and video, you'll want to make sure it is royalty-free or in the public domain.
Royalty-Free photos are NOT necessarily FREE!
Royalty-Free refers to the right to use copyrighted material or intellectual property without the need to pay royalties for each use or per volume sold, each time it is posted or used, or for a specified time period of use or sales.
Public Domain includes works or intellectual property in which the rights have expired, been forfeited, or are inapplicable.
When I need to use stock photos and videos, here are a few places I go:
Wikipedia - They have lots of photos that have been released into the public domain. I often use them for images of other places I cannot personally visit or things I cannot personally obtain.
Stock.xchng - This is my favorite site for still photos! They often have some great images that you won't find anywhere else. Most of them are free, but once in a while, the author will want permission and you have to email them and ask, or they would like you to give them credit in a byline or link back of some sort.
Flickr - This site has some copyrighted material, but you can do an Advanced Search in the Commons section for public domain images and add to them if you want.
Dreamstime - Free photos that are royalty-free.
iStock Photo - If you have to pay for royalty-free images and video, I like this site the best. You can purchase credits as needed and download the files when you need them. I like this site because of the wide variety of selections they provide in both still photos, illustrations, and video clips.
Free Stock Footage - Royalty-free video footage. You may need to install a plugin to view the video feeds.
ShutterStock - Royalty-free video footage as well as motion animations and still photos.
Animation Factory - Provides some great motion animations that are royalty-free, as well as PowerPoint backgrounts.
Pond5 - Royalty-free video, photos and illustrations. Some of the videos are a little pricey, but the still images are $1-$2 ea.
Do you use any sites for images and videos that you would like to share that I haven't listed?

Jennifer, what a helpful post! I've wondered about this myself. I didn't realize Wikipedia images were okay to use? I've tried to use my own photos, when possible, but you're so right--sometimes I just don't have photos of what I'm looking for.

Heather, Most of Wikipedia's photos are in the public domain. If not, they list the type of license it is under if you click on the actual image.
Thanks, Andy.

Great post, Jennifer. I've used the Flickr/Commons many times. Lately, I've noticed comments on some of the pictures that claim people are stealing the work when they use them. I thought, since they have the share key right on the photos, that they posted for that purpose?
Either way, thanks so much for the other options! I love to use pictures on my blog!

I always look forward to your posts...they are little mini-lessons.
Just pinned this on my writing board so I can come back to it again.

They may have not paid attention and posted it in the wrong place, but then that is their fault b/c others wouldn't know their mistake. The other thing that could be happening is people could be getting hold of someone's work and posting it there. If that is the case, they would have to trace it to those posters.
This week someone alerted me that my books were on a pirate site, so I sent the info to my publisher and they forwarded it to their legal dept. It's sad that so many people are dishonest in this world.

Great I found some sites I didn't know about.
My latest favorite is: http://photopin.com/ because they are free with attribution and there are a lot of cool pictures there.
I also: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page but stopped when weird advertisements showed up on my blog in some browsers. Not sure what that's about and I didn't take time to research it.
and another creative commons site:
- August 4, 2012 at 10:48 AM
- Peter Shanks said...
I prefer to use flickrcc.net to search for Creative Commons licensed images on flickr. It's got a better interface and it allows you to edit those images that are licensed for editing.

|Design and Status of the Super Separator Spectrometer for the GANIL SPIRAL2 Project
Funding: This work is partially supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357.
The Super Separator Spectrometer (S3) is a device designed for experiments with the very high intensity stable heavy ion beams of the superconducting linear accelerator of the SPIRAL2 Project at GANIL. S3 is designed to combine high acceptance, a high degree of primary beam rejection, and high mass resolving power to enable new opportunities in several physics domains, e.g. super-heavy and very-heavy nuclei, spectroscopy at and beyond the drip-line, isomers and ground state properties, multi-nucleon transfer and deep-inelastic reactions. The spectrometer comprises 8 large aperture multipole triplets (7 superconducting and 1 open-sided room temperature), 3 magnetic dipoles, and 1 electrostatic dipole arranged as a momentum achromat followed by a mass separator. A summary of the beam-optical simulations and the status of the main spectrometer components will be presented with special emphasis on the design of the superconducting multipole triplets.
