Parents of slain pregnant woman fight to change law
- Published in State
When the father of a slain Olney woman found out the man accused of killing his pregnant daughter would only be charged with one count of murder, instead of two, he said he was shocked.
"It wasn't going to count," Mark Wallen said of his daughter Laura's unborn child's death. "Justice was not going to be done for my grandson. The law now says the life of my grandson doesn't even exist."
Under current state law, charges of murder or manslaughter for an unborn child can only be brought against a person if a fetus is considered "viable" outside of the mother's womb.
Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy charged Laura Wallen's on-again, off-again boyfriend, Tyler Tessier, 33, of Damascus, with one count of murder last October. Wallen was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of her death, according to the state's chief medical examiner who conducted an autopsy. She was having a boy, whom she planned to name "Reid."

Ghost caught on camera?
Thursday, 5 October 2017
A SHELL-shocked local family believe they may have unearthed terrifying evidence of paranormal activity in their home.
A 23-year-old local woman, who has asked not to be named, took a photograph of her sister and little brother in the kitchen of their house on the outskirts of Randalstown.
But it was only when she looked at the snap closely that she realised that there were three faces looking back at her.
For there, on the right of the frame, is another frightening figure glowering down the lens over the four-year-old's shoulder.
A family friend said the local woman was left 'badly shaken'.
"When she took the photo there was no-one there, but there's clearly something in the picture. She was knocked for six - it really freaked her out," he said.
"Even now when I look at it the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
"Some people might say it's a fake, but I can assure them it's not. I saw how shaken up she was by the whole experience. If she was putting it on she deserves an Oscar."

Scherer - Hailey, ID
I needed help right away after hearing 'water running' under my kitchen floor. Amy said she would send out a text to all plumbers asking if they would be available after their job to answer my service call. Keith came mid-afternoon. Of course he had to go into the crawl space a long way to diagnose the problem. He had to replace a pipe! Then he was able to help me with a few other lingering plumbing problems. Obviously, I was so appreciative of the wonderful service. Thank you!

A number of retailers and manufacturers have a gift for holiday shoppers: product packaging that will not result in lacerations and stab wounds.
The companies, including Amazon.com, Sony, Microsoft and Best Buy, have begun to create alternatives to the infuriating plastic "clamshell" packages and cruelly complex twist ties that make products such as electronics and toys almost impossible for mere mortals to open without power tools.
Impregnable packaging has incited such frustration among consumers that an industry term has been coined for it – "wrap rage." It has sent about 6,000 Americans each year to emergency rooms with injuries caused by trying to pry, stab and cut open their purchases, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
"I shouldn't have to start each Christmas morning with a needle-nose pliers and wire cutters," said Jeff Bezos, the father of four young children and Amazon.com founder. "But that is what I do: I arm myself, and it still takes me 10 minutes to open each package."
This month, Bezos pledged to lead the charge into a new era of nonhostile containers. In Amazon's "frustration-free packaging" initiative involving Mattel, its subsidiary Fisher-Price and Microsoft, the companies will ship some of their best-selling products directly to Amazon in cardboard boxes that don't fight back.
Such a campaign is relatively easy for Amazon, of course, because it does not need to worry about how products appear on store shelves.
But even offline companies are joining the movement. Microsoft recently unveiled an unusual container for the Explorer computer mouse it sells at Best Buy. The mouse looks typically imprisoned in its package at first glance. But the container actually has a plastic zipper on each side with arrows that guide buyers into easily unlocking their purchase.
For consumers like Lisa Martin, a mother of two from Chicago, clamshell packaging means exhausting birthday mornings as her young children wonder impatiently why a cluster of adults are stabbing at their new presents with knives and scissors.
"I understand anti-theft. But when you get home and it takes two days to get your purchase open, it kind of defeats the purpose," said Martin.

Money is the devil in politics
- Published in Editor's Notebook
Programming my own music on YouTube is one the last pleasures a diehard rock n'roll fan has left to look forward to in this topsy-turvy world.
Miguel is fine, but I like my guitar solos, back beats and a signature rock lyric.
Yes, I know I'm dating myself, but Led Zeppelin, The Stones, The Who, The Beatles, David Bowie, Lou Reed and a few others really still get my blood flowing.
And let's face it, us old farts need to keep our blood flowing.
Everyone grows older if they're lucky, but there are some things from childhood I absolutely refuse to part with until they pull the shroud over my eyes that one last time.
Imagine my consternation then when the Jim Carroll Band's "Those are people who died" is interrupted by a David Blair ad.

2014 was HarborWare's strongest year yet, with well-over a 100% sales increase during it's peak season of March, April, May and June and an overall 60% sales increase for the entire year (from 2013 to 2014). Dock floats in the boat docks category still ranks as the highest selling product for HarborWare.
In 2015 HarborWare is expecting more steady growth that will be attributed to a growing economy and job market. There are no plans to add new products in 2015, though R&D will continue to refine existing offerings to improve product performance.
In other news, HarborWare's own Brent Cannon (CEO) and Joey Cannon (President) have been investing and working on building a new church in the city of Gravette, AR. Clarion Call Church will meet in an old renovated skating rink on Main Street that will seat more than 500 people. For more information regarding the church, please email email@example.com

Sharing fiction writing is like walking along the shoreline and jumping into the crashing waves jubilantly and carefree, feeling the power of the water push you back as the sand rushes beneath your feet. It's liberating and refreshing and fun. And as the mighty water pulls back it's ebbing wave, you close your eyes, breath deep, and smile in sweet satisfaction...only to look down and realize moments later that the dress you're wearing is totally not waterproof and it's a long walk back in front of everyone to the safe haven of your car.
Sharing fiction writing is like cracking open your heart and letting your innermost thoughts and wonderings and dreams ooze out into a cold, unforgiving world where it will be battered and beaten and whipped into a meringue of judgment - lemon meringue judgment.
Its exposure, friends. Pure exposure. And that's why people like me have absolutely no problems whipping out blog posts left and right and publishing them for friends and strangers alike to read at will. But ask me if you can leaf through any of the old notebooks of stories stashed away under the bed and I'll laugh at you. Right achya. Right in your face.
My junior year of college. You can't see it, but I'm at my computer...writing. :)
Do you realize how many notebooks have been filled in my lifetime? Do you know how many stories and songs and movie scripts and television shows and plays and novels and poems have been crafted in the wee hours of the morning since I was in the third grade…well, of course you don't. I don't even know. It's a lot! A lot, a lot. And how many people have read any of those things? One single solitary person, and that would be me.
Non-fiction writing has always come easily to me. I was never intimated by college coursework…twenty page papers on Shakespeare? Pssh. Hour long written presentation on the etymology of the world "nice?" Child's play. I was an English major for crying out loud…I laughed when I heard people complaining about their four papers in one class for a semester. What?? Try four papers in one week for one class…easily a dozen total. Ask any of my college roommates, and they'll tell ya. I was always on the darn computer typing away. But it was not a problem, I could handle it. Done and done.
College roomies!
But fiction…my love, my passion, my hobby…that just makes me nervous. Here's a little non-fiction tale about some fiction for ya:
My senior year of college I had finally graduated from the obligatory "Age of Shakespeare" and "British Literature" and I could finally take the courses that I had been longing for. Classes with titles like, "Feature and Magazine Writing" and " Writing Fiction and Poetry." Yesss…I could not WAIT to get graded for something that I already loved to do. This was what college was supposed to be all about.
More college fun. Good times...good times...
I quickly fell in love with my Fiction and Poetry class. Dr. Shaw, I loved your class, dude. I mean, sir. I never knew what crazy thing we were going to be set to do next. One day, as soon as we had all assembled into our second-story classroom in Marston Hall, Dr. Shaw told us to pack up our things and walk to the local cemetery. "Sit in front of a gravestone and write," he said. And that's exactly what we did. And from that assignment came a really intricately woven tale about an old couple I had found buried side by side, which left me walking from that hollowed ground hiding tears on my shirtsleeve.
Or there was the day that we were forced to spy on people. "Find someplace on campus and eavesdrop on someone's conversation. Use their words as dialogue and inspiration for your next story." Cool. But it was the day that we were assigned the "song story" that leaves me chilled to the bone. I'll never forget it. *Shiver.*
We had a writing prompt that went a little something like this, "The first time (insert character's name here) heard the song (insert song title here) they…." Well, hmm. That's a little vague. So I sat in my drafty college house dorm room pondering and pondering what in the world I was going to do for this one. And finally I decided to break the one rule I had set myself for this class, and I started typing a love story. And oh boy, was it something. Something straight from a Taylor Swift bubble gum boy-girl saccharinely sweet love story. The writing wasn't bad, but I was slightly embarrassed by the content.
College 2005. Exposed. AKA: How I felt about my "Song Story."
So I printed out my tale, carried it off to class, took my seat, and Dr. Shaw said the words that he often said to us, "Trade stories with someone and let's read." Fine. I didn't want to, but I did it. The totally nerdy guy sitting next to me (sorry, guy, but you knew you were nerdy) took my sacred papers and began to read. This wouldn't be so bad…he wouldn't tell anyone. Who would he tell? But then after only a minute had passed, my dear professor told us all to stop.
"You've all gotten to read the very beginning of someone's story," he said. "Who in here is reading something so good, so riveting, that they really want to keep reading more?" I knew where this was going. I had sat in this classroom for weeks by now. And surely nerdy guy was not going to raise his hand.
Nerdy guy raised his hand. Nerdy guy was the only person raising his hand…because the rest of us knew what was coming next and we did not want to subject a fellow classmate to it. Nerdy guy did not get the memo. "Whose paper do you have there?" asked Dr. Shaw. "Hers," said nerdy guy, pointing at me. I could tell this dude really thought he was giving me a compliment here. He was so proud of himself; meanwhile, I'm slinking lower and lower in my seat.
"Ah, Adrien!" says Dr. Shaw. "Why don't you come up here and read your story for the class!"
Wonderful. I took the paper back from my geek partner and slowly made the walk of shame to the front of the room. I stood in front of my peers with what I knew was total crap content in my hands. Lovey dovey mushy gushy crap. And these were not just any peers, mind you. This room was filled with guys from the most well known campus bands, artsy girls that were known for their writing and performing, all upper classmen, all staring at ME.
And I read. I could have used a spoonful of sugar to help the utter mortification go down, but I made it through without looking up once. I finished my story just as class was ending, walked back to my seat head down, and had to listen as Dr. Shaw spent our last few minutes dissecting my story and asking for feedback.
I cannot even tell you how many times I was stopped that afternoon and winked at. Holy moly. My worst fear was realized on that day. Writing fiction? It's dangerous stuff, I tell you, dangerous stuff.
College 2007. On our way to a concert, I'm sure. :)
But I miss it. I miss it terribly. Blogging is super fun, but it doesn't challenge me in the same ways. I want to dive back into fiction. Only this time, I want to write something that I know someone will actually read. And for the first time in my life, I think I might be ready to do that.
So in the coming days, if I feel up to it or find the time, you might be seeing a little fiction around here for a change. Just because I feel like it. I'm not making any promises, but I'm just warning you that the bug is back. I'm being nagged by the writing mosquito, and it's leaving bites that won't let me forget.

The Union acknowledges that the Company has the right to determine affected positions for layoff.
Prior to providing layoff notice, the Company shall meet with TEAM and seriously discuss further ways to minimize or avert layoffs by reviewing issues such as redeployment opportunities, lateral transfer opportunities, vacancies, etc. The discussions shall be kept confidential and the Company shall have the sole discretion whether or not to act upon any suggestions. The Company shall provide the number, position title, name and salary classification of the affected employees.
In the event of layoff, the Company agrees to meet with the Union to discuss said layoffs and to provide notice, fourteen (14) calendar days in advance of affected employees being so notified. Such notice shall include the date of layoff, number, position title, name and salary classification of the affected employees. The Union agrees not to disclose the layoff or any details pertaining to the notice provided until affected employees have received individual notice from the Company.
Affected employees shall receive a minimum of two (2) weeks written notice of layoff or two (2) weeks' pay in lieu thereof, or an equivalent combination of notice and pay in lieu of notice equalling two (2) weeks.
For the purpose of determining employees affected by a layoff, an employee identified for layoff in a single incumbent position will be assessed with employees in a multiple incumbent position(s) which in the Company's opinion, compares closest to the single incumbent position on the basis of duties and responsibilities. In assessing employees for the purpose of layoff within the combined multiple incumbent position(s), where incumbents are deemed by the Company to be relatively equal on the basis of skill, ability, performance and qualifications, the junior incumbent, according to Net Credited Service (NCS) date, shall be laid off first. In the case of multiple incumbent positions, where incumbents are deemed by the Company to be relatively equal on the basis of skill, ability, performance and qualifications, the junior incumbent, according to Net Credited Service (NCS) date, shall be laid off first. The Company maintains the right to determine the location of the layoff.
Affected employees shall not have the right to bump or otherwise move, into any other position under the provisions of this Article, except as expressly set out below.
Where an employee in TEAM's jurisdiction has been identified for layoff, and where such employee has the necessary skills and ability to satisfactorily perform an equally or lower rated position being filled by a Unifor and/or IBEW member on an acting basis, the affected employee shall have the right to displace the Unifor or IBEW member prior to being laid off where there is over two (2) months remaining in the acting position.
The above shall not apply to Temporary vacancies pursuant to Article 9 and shall only apply to existing TEAM positions. The Company will provide a list of TEAM positions being filled by a Unifor and/or IBEW member on an acting basis to the affected employees in TEAM's jurisdiction designated for layoff.
Affected employees must, within two (2) weeks of receiving notice of layoff, identify in writing, along with a current resume, which equally or lower rated positions they believe they have the necessary skills and abilities to satisfactorily perform.
The Company shall review the duties and required skill, ability, qualification and experience of all current contractors as per the Letter of Understanding Contracting-In within the VP Group(s) of the employee(s) targeted for layoff. Where it is expected a contractor's assignment will continue for a minimum of six months from the date of layoff and where an employee identified for layoff in the same VP Group has the necessary skill, ability and required qualifications to satisfactorily perform the role of a contractor with four (4) weeks training, the employee shall have the right to displace the contractor prior to being laid off.
Any required moves or associated travel/transportation expenses associated with the above shall be borne solely by the employee. Affected employees must commence the equally or lower rated position within seven (7) calendar days of being selected for the position.
Laid off employees shall have the right to be recalled for up to one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days, in order of NCS, to the position and salary classification from which they were laid off, providing Regular Full-Time work becomes available during this time.
The right of recall for laid off employees shall expire at the end of one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days from the date of layoff, at which time the laid off employee shall be deemed to be permanently laid off, and therefore terminated.
During recall, an employee may make application in accordance with Article 8 to any vacant position covered by the Collective Agreement.
Recall may be done by telephone, or if not contacted by telephone, by registered letter to the employee's last recorded address, at any time within one hundred and eighty (180)calendar days from the date of layoff.
It is the responsibility of laid off employees to keep the Company informed, in writing, of their current address and telephone number.
The employee shall advise the Company within five (5) calendar days of the date of recall as to their decision.
Once recall has been accepted, the employee shall report for duty within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of recall, unless otherwise agreed to.

(a) the employee has rejected a recall, or,
(b) the employee has failed to notify the Company of his/her decision within five (5) calendar days of being recalled, or
(c) the employee has accepted but did not report for duty within fourteen (14) calendar days of recall or as otherwise agreed above, or,
(d) pursuant to Article 27.07.3, the employee elects to take severance pay prior to the expiration of the one hundred and eighty (180) calendar day recall period, or,
(e) the employee is not recalled within one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days from the date of layoff.
A permanently laid off and therefore terminated employee shall receive severance pay as follows:
Age 55 or greater, plus years of service is equal to or greater than 80.
26 week lump sum payment
Age 55 or greater, plus 10+ years of service with age plus service less than 80.

26 week lump sum payment;
If age is less than 53, at the employee's option, 65 week lump sum payment
All other regular full-time or regular part-time employees.
Two (2) weeks per year completed net credited years of service up to a maximum of 65 weeks.
Note: Severance will be prorated for Regular Part-time employees as follows:

What a freaking day. If I would have known I'd have to fight hordes of undead with a hangover, I never would have drank so much the night before… Yeah right, who am I kidding. After daming up the endless river of undead and watching the pretty boy make a deal with a devil, we traveled further into the Catacombs of Helm. We didn't get very far before Milo finally decided to catch up with us. It seems he had a hangover as well in the form of a weird little gnome with a ridiculous name. Hampoodle Biggity Blah, or whatever his name is, was a crass, goofy little trickster with an odd smell. This along with the fact that I'd have another hand at making fun of Vash and Erythll made me like him instantly. Oh yeah, his skills as a druid are kind of handy as well.
Once we got acquainted with our newest midget, we continued deeper downward encountering room after room of undead. At first we tried to clear all the rooms, but we almost underestimated one potential encounter after Hammy failed to see some shadows or wraiths that Milo's tweaked-out flying music-box fortunately did. After that we had to square-off against a group of ghouls and mummies that almost got Milo. This was followed up by a surprise attack by some twisted ghosts of former clerics who we dispatched with ease. These corpses seemed to be corrupted with holy symbols of Shar! Holy crap-in-box this may be EVEN BIGGER than we imagined. After that, we took a brief rest and a huge meal before continuing. Between saving Milo from mummy rot and the feast, Erythll hot little gothic piece is pretty useful. As much as I wouldn't mind, I don't think I could bring myself to tap that though. I mean damn, Ertyhll is looking pretty rough these days. I think it's his first and all, but I shouldn't have to tell something 100 years older than me that some tail isn't worth chasing. Only some though. Oh crap, I'm getting side tracked…
After our rest we found a room with several zombies with vestments of Shar standing in a circle. Several members of our party heard shadowy whispers and chants when sticking our head into the room. Pretty sure the zombies should have noticed our presence and attacked, but didn't. Even when Erthyll and Alex jumped the gun and started attacking them, they still didn't budge. About the time I strolled in to bail them out we realized there were shadows and wraiths in the room. One of the whispers went deep and convinced me to put try and snuff our light. While Erthyll and Alex were busy wasting time killing shit that wasn't attacking us, the rest of the party wasn't as inept. Sasanna lit up one of the wraiths and Milo did a shorty bum rush of light and illuminated the room to where the others couldn't hide either. Awesome as his diminutive battlecry was, he almost got himself touched and hugged in a way that's worse than his creepy uncle did back on the Shire. Luckily Feyboob the Black saved his ass again by putting a pillar of flaming vengance up his creepy ass.
After the whisper left my head and Erthyll and Alex stopped dillying around, we made short work of remaining shades. No matter what we did the undead did not attack. We slayed them for good measure and burned the vastments of Shar. In this room we also found a giant magic holy symbol of that vile witch set into the floor. It had to have been here for a while, but how did the Priests of Helm miss this?
More coming…..

Ikea vending machine offers kitchen tools
Ikea has installed a vending machine at a Stockholm subway station to sell small kitchen items such as a garlic press, an egg slicer and other tools, according to Ehandel.com, a retail site. The machine is located near a new Ikea kitchen products store.
The temporary store is about 4,300 square feet and includes a showroom with seven display kitchens, according to a press release from Ikea Sweden.
The vending machine, which will be up for a few weeks, encourages consumers to "get a kitchen to go with their garlic press."
The machine accepts payment cards.
Miki Tabakovic, deputy country sales director for Ikea Sweden, said the company wants to show Ikea is widely available, not just in its department stores.

Things that go weird at night
Now I lay me down to dream
9-Apr-05. Maybe it was something I ate. Maybe it was the onset of a head cold. Or maybe it was the working out of deep-seated, unresolved, Freudian conflicts. All I know is, things got really weird in my dreams last night.
To set the stage: I woke up Friday with a bit of congestion and that unsettling feeling you get from liquids sloshing around in your sinus cavities every time you move your head. I went to my physical therapy appointment anyway. Later that morning I became almost irresistibly sleepy, but I went to have lunch with a friend anyway. By evening, I was completely exhausted by the pitched battles going on between the invading viruses and my body. Finding myself unable to stay awake even to watch my taped Daily Show, I simply went to bed, where I fell instantly asleep.
About 11:30 I was awakened by the roaring of gale-force winds and slight shaking of the very house. My first thought, of course, was that it was "the big one" and that we were about to be swallowed up by the San Andreas fault. I looked outdoors where the scene was simply surreal: the lawn sprinklers were going full blast. The winds were forcing the palm trees to bend and thrash about violently. The patio fans were spinning wildly although it should go without saying they weren't turned on. It was like those TV broadcasts during hurricanes; I half expected to see CNN setting up their cameras.
I reassessed the situation. It was not "the big one" after all. It must be the ghost of Tahquitz trying to drive all the white settlers off his reservation. "Sorry, Tahquitz, I have a 99-year lease," said I, and went back to sleep to be reawakened by the winds off and on for the next three hours.
But that's not the weird part! For the remainder of the night, I had the most vivid and strange dreams. In the first one I was in charge of a large facility that staged turkey races. It was in the middle of a large wooded park where people also camped. But the strange part — as if it isn't already strange — was that whenever I opened the starting gate to let the turkeys out to race, they would all be wrapped in plastic, unable to trot. They were alive, but they had no feathers, and they looked like so many Butterball turkeys lined up in a row. When the plastic was removed, they ran their race as usual. Even so, the unorthodox start was deeply disappointing to the fans.
The second day of racing, I provided a supply of various camping amenities to compensate for the disastrous start of the previous day's race. These consisted of small containers of gourmet foodstuffs, like herbed sea salt and infused vinegars, but ragamuffin urchins ran off with armfuls, foiling my attempt to be nice. And again when the starting gate was opened, the turkeys were wrapped in plastic.
In another dream, I had obtained a job (I have no idea what I was supposed to do) at what seemed to be a large college or university campus. When I went wandering about the hallways of the building, I discovered odd rooms of young children. Some of the rooms were like theme store windows where the children held their pose while wearing period costumes. Other rooms were simply narrow compartments where two rows of children stood facing each other, uniformly spaced by virtue of standing on footprints imprinted into the floor. These children wore vaguely pioneer-style clothing, like so many characters out of Little House on the Prairie or from some hippy commune of the 60s. Yet other rooms were court rooms where children seemed to be on trial for unspecified crimes. In another room, the children sat at many tables with books and papers spread out about them, a sort of super studyhall.
Now, what was odd about this dream was that the children were completely silent and motionless. Further, the existence of these rooms was unknown to the other employees of the building. By chance, two co-workers were people I knew from elsewhere. When I tried to show them what I had discovered, the rooms were all empty, except for one old woman dressed in a Victorian gown sitting in one of the theme rooms. She started to explain the history of the place, but her story was drowned out by another fierce blast of wind.
This morning, the light of day revealed the havoc that had been wrought: Pete and Barbara's rain gutters were ripped off the eaves and their patio furniture upended; Mike's new planters atop his patio wall are now on the ground; one of my cacti was blown over onto the ground; and the valance of my patio curtains, already showing the effects of age, is pretty well shredded. And below the skylight in the guest bathroom, the floor has a dusting of dirt and plant parts that can only have been blown in through the skylight.

Real estate investment in California, as a matter of course, involves buying and selling real property. An investor may decide to sell a piece of real property as part of an investment plan, such as after purchasing a distressed residential property and rehabilitating it. A sale may also be a result of conditions that require an investor to get out of a bad investment.
Regardless of the reason for putting a property on the market, California law requires numerous disclosures about the property. Many of these disclosures required by law are ultimately the responsibility of the seller, whether or not they are assisted by a real estate broker. Real estate investors in California should be aware of these disclosures and their legal obligations.
