Giants quarterback Eli Manning hopes to see wide receiver Victor Cruz at the team's offseason workouts soon, a hope that was either fueled or held in check depending on what media outlet Manning uses for his daily updates.
If he read the New York Post, Manning would learn that contract talks were on the "two-yard line" and that "both sides just need to give a little bit" to get things into the end zone. Over at ESPNNewYork.com, though, the talks are described as "status quo." The New York Daily News also hears that nothing is imminent between the two sides, but "that could change at any moment" because Cruz has lowered his contract demands from a reported $10-11 million annual salary.
Hearing from Cruz himself doesn't do all that much to clear up the discrepancies.
"In a perfect world, I want to finish my career here," Cruz said, via the Post. "I'm from here, born and raised in New Jersey. I wouldn't want to play anywhere else. But I understand it's a business and all of that. In a perfect world, this is where I'd like to be. I'd rather not answer any type of questions now, but it's moving."
PFT reported last week that the next 7-10 days were seen as important for getting a long-term deal done with Cruz, although there was no word on exactly why that was the case since there was no meaningful deadline until the Giants could slash Cruz's offer on June 17. We're nearing the end of that apparently vital stretch and, as you can tell, everyone's taking a guess as to whether or not a deal will get done before the period is up.

Dr. Pelletiere was amazing. I have never had any prior plastic surgery and a friend referred me to his office. His staff and he were great and made me feel very comfortable. I gained over 100 lbs while pregnant with my daughter 12 years ago and although I was successful in losing the weight, I had a lot of excess skin left over. Dr. Pelletiere had a lot to work with and did an amazing job. For the first time in 12 years I felt comfortable in my own skin and confident. I had a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Pelletiere was just as responsive post surgery as we was pre. He sincerely cares for his patients and listens carefully as to what they are looking for. I am grateful for what he has done for me!
EW80 - April 15th, 2017
I decided to go to Christopher V. Pelletiere, who specializes in plastic & reconstructive surgery. Initially I was extremely nervous. I knew I wanted a breast augmentation for years , however, I was also well informed on horror stories you read/see on television shows like "botched". After doing extensive research (and I do mean EXTENSIVE) I came across Chris. After reading multiple reviews and personally talking to one of his patients (I was lucky enough to know someone who he had also worked on) my mind was made up and I proceeded to call and schedule a consultation. From the moment he walked in the room it was evident he had a sense of calmness and assurance to him that put me at ease. It was also very clear he knew what he was doing and very well prepared and educated himself. NOW to get to the nitty gritty. I decided to go with 400cc L and 425cc R, dual-p, moderate plus. I was so nervous they would come out too large or too small... Or in my case with having my right breast slightly smaller vs. the left it would magnify the issue of having different side breast (something almost all women suffer from) I was SO WRONG!!! I am a perfectionist and have always been my worst critic my breasts turned out immaculate. I could not say enough good things about this doctor from his bedside manor to his professionalism throughout this entire process. My breast look amazing I have never felt so much confidence. If you are even considering getting this procedure performed Christopher V. Pelletiere is the "Go to".
Lorig098 May 4th, 2017
Dr. Pelletiere did my breast augmentation, and I couldn't be happier with the experience or the results. I interviewed four surgeons before choosing Dr. Pelletiere. I appreciated his professionalism, guidance and patience with my many questions. By the day of the surgery, I felt comfortable that I was in very capable hands. He understood what look I was going for and helped me choose a size and shape that was right for my petite, athletic frame. I love my new look and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. If you're considering Dr. Pelletiere for your surgery, I highly recommend him. You won't be disappointed.

Love and Theft Find a New Home at RCA, 'Excited' for the Future
Between losing their record deal and one of their band members, it's been a tumultuous couple of years for Love and Theft. But all's well that ends well, and with their brand new deal at RCA Records, the duo is back on track and feeling better than ever about their future.
"This is the most excited I've been in a long time," Love and Theft member Stephen Barker Liles told Taste of Country during a recent interview. "The fact that we're over it all now and things are moving forward is a really good feeling."
Speaking on behalf of his bandmate Eric Gunderson, Liles said, "Eric and I are super stoked about the future. God has blessed us a lot. He has given us faith and kept us encouraged because a lot of people would have given up. We are so grateful to have so many people who believe in us. We're going to make Sony and RCA proud … I believe that. We're going to work our tails off for them."
With Love and Theft's move from a trio to a duo comes a shift in direction. As Liles put it, "We sound a little different now. With our new producer, we're able to sound more like what we sound like live. That's a really important thing. As much as we loved our old record, 'World Wide Open,' it didn't sound like what we sound like live. That's hard to do sometimes.
"That [album] was fun and everything," he continued, "but this new stuff is really way more up our alley. It was produced and recorded the way our influences recorded — Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley and all those guys. We sang with the band live in the studio. We never got to do that before. The fact that we got to do that was like really fun. We're hoping everybody receives the new sound pretty well. It's really a lot more like the Eagles, like we were hoping."
There's no word yet on when Love and Theft will be ready to release their RCA debut, but fans can tide themselves over with Liles' Taylor Swift-inspired solo track 'Try to Make It Anyway,' currently available on iTunes.

Her mousy blond hair swayed as she walked. He looked at her and thought to himself, 'How Lucky am I?' She turned around to him and said "Are you coming or what?". He didn't need to be told twice, as he chased after her. It was Phoebe and Ricks third date, they'd decided to go to the movies, to one of the late night sessions at the local Palace Cinema, where they played all the really scary movies at midnight. They were both huge horror buffs, so this was a pretty exciting night. They theater was playing a classic horror film, Godzilla Vs Cahoona. Rick couldn't believe how lucky he was, there was this beautiful girl who loved horror movies and liked HIM! He was going to do anything not to screw this up.
She turned again and started walking backwards, eyes locked with his. She looked at him longingly. She thought she might love him. He was tall and dark and handsome. He had a cute little scar on his chin and gorgeous blue eyes that made her sigh. She couldn't believe she had to come see some dumb horror movie, but she didn't care, because he was happy. Happy to say anything to keep him happy. As she turned back around to walk towards the ticket office she tripped on a step and fell awkwardly backwards and just before she hit the step and hand caught her. A strong hand. There was a man standing over her, He'd caught her just before she had hit the ground. Her first thought was to thank the man. But she then noticed that he'd caught her chest and was feeling her breast through her top and bra. She looked up to him "Thank-you!" Rick said as he rushed over to her. "Thank you very much!" said rick. "That's fine mate, just fine." said this stocky man. Rick and Phoebe both heard his Australian accent. "Yes" Said Phoebe "Thank you very much". "Not a problem lovely. I guess we were both lucky I was here" He gave her a wink and walked over to his three mates. "You enjoy your movie! Okay?" Said the stocky Australian. "We sure will! Thanks to you!" Rick replied, brushing down Phoebe clothes, making sure she was okay. "Yes…." phoebe muttered. "Thank you. Very much." Phoebe adjusted her top and took Ricks hand as they walked the last little way up to the box office. Phoebe's hands felt soft and smooth, but Rick could feel she was shaking. "Are you alright?" Rick asked. "Yes. I'm fine." she said "Just shaken. I almost lost my head there." Rick kissed her head. "As long as you're okay. Do you still want to go to the movies?" He asked. "Of course I do! I'm not going to miss this!" She lied.
She bounced up the next few steps and ordered two student tickets to the midnight viewing of Godzilla Vs. Cahoona. Rick looked at her tiny figure. She was a sweet, beautiful girl. 5′ 5, with tight thighs and buttox and seemly perfect round breasts. Perfectly in proportion with her body.
Rick turned around to look out over the cinema foyer, they 4 men were laughing together. They seemed to be the only ones in the theater. He could hear their laughter and he heard them talking quietly amongst themselves. The short stocky one telling some Australian yarn of sorts. He looked at the stocky man just as he caught his eye, Rick wanted to look away, but the Australian just stared right back. The Australian pursed his lips and kissed at Rick then winked at him, just as Phoebe grabbed his arm. "Are you ready?" She asked. "Yep! Yes, of course. Lets go" Rick replied. They walked with their arms around each other. Rick turned his head to see they 4 Australians laughing again.
Rick and Phoebe got a 2 large cokes, popcorn and an ice-cream each. This was another thing about her he loved. This girl could eat! She would eat and still keep her amazing figure. He didn't understand it!
The usher ripped their tickets and in they went to the movie.
They sat there alone in the theater, watching the annoying slides of restaurants in the area and the candy bar song. She held his hand and kissed it, he turned in and kissed her cheek, then her chin, her nose and then her lips. She responded by kissing him back, softly and gently. Her hands rubbed his face and his hands went to her waist.
She put her hand down on the arm rest in between them and lifted it up. So that they could be next to each other without that obstruction in the way. They continued kissing and she ran her hands all over his back and chest. She shuffled in towards him further as he tongue entered his mouth. Her soft pink tongue ran all over his, flicking and licking. Rick couldn't believe it, this was a huge jump from anything they'd done before. She took his hand from her waist a placed it over her breast. Rick opened his eyes to look at her to see if this was some crazy girl test, to see if he would actually do it! But she just stared back at him, longlingly, she wanked at him and smiled while they kissed, he smiled to as their teeth connected gently. They laughed a small kiss laugh and he kept his warm firm hand on her soft breast. She began moaning softly to herself as he played with her chest. She brought her hand down to his stomach and brought it inside his shirt. As the movie titles started rolling she started rubbing his cock through his pants.
He pulled back from the kiss "What are you doing?!" All she did was lock lips with him again and say "Shhh" under her breath as she began to kiss him with a little more force her tongue exploring his mouth as his did the same. Rick relaxed and let her do what she wanted, he knew that he didn't have to be the good respectful guy anymore. His dick hardened in his pants and it bulged up through his jeans, she noticed that it made quite a crease in his pants. She rubbed his penis through the fabric, rubbing her hand up and down the full length of the shaft. Squeezing and fingering the head. His soft moans and sighs made her wet. She loved making guys moan and she loved making Rick sigh. Sh started unbuttoning his jeans and loosening his belt. Rick looked about himself to see if the ushers or any other patrons had arrived. Also, to have a look at the movie that was playing. Phoebe opened his jeans up and saw his silky boxers and his hard tool inside. She put her hand in side his boxers and felt what was a very large and very hard cock. She had to let out a little sigh when she felt it. But she massaged its length and rub his hard cock from base to head. She then set his little friend free and took it out of his boxers. So there he was, cock out in the middle of a movie theater, watching Godzilla Vs Cahoona.
She smiled at him and she kissed her way down his neck, over his chest and onto his stomach where she kissed the head of his dick. There was a tiny amount of pre-cum on the head of his dick , she wiped it way, she'd never been a fan of semen, but she just wiped it away and kissed his head gently. Phoebe began to lick the round head and soon took his beautiful cock into her small mouth. She used her tongue and her lips to play his cock like a instrument. To Ricks amazement she started taking all of his impressive erection into her mouth. She slid further and further down his cock till her lips touched his balls and stomach. Then all she did was move her head up and down on his cock. He could feel the back of her throat on the shaft of his dick and the very back of her tongue ,massaged the head of his dick as she bobbed up and down slowly on his rigid pole. She started slow, but increased her efforts moving faster and faster. Licking ad sucking his dick. She sucked his dick slowly letting his cock slide between her lips. While still keeping his dick in her mouth she sidled her way over his legs and positioned herself on her knees in front of him. She took his hands and placed them on her head and let him move her head up and down in his own rhythm. She used her now free hands to massage his balls and work his shaft.
"I can't believe this!" Rick moaned ans she., with his full cock in her mouth began to lick his balls. "I think I'm going to cum" he said gently. Phoebe slowly, very slowly took her mouth up his shaft licking his shaft all the way up.
Not yet" she said
, with a gentle smile. His dick
stayed up at attention as she kissed his thighs, her hands rubbed his stomach as she licked his balls, she would take one into her mouth, roll it around her tongue and then move onto the next one. It had the desired affect, his cock slowed down, bit his pleasure remained. Rick looked down at Phoebe who had just started rubbing her pussy through her panties. She looked up into his eyes and he as watching her. "I've got a treat for you" Phoebe said coyly. "Another treat?" he asked shocked. Phoebe took a lick of the ice cream in Ricks armrest took, that ice cold dessert into her mouth, then grabbed his hard pecker and sucked on it feverishly. The cold rocked through him as her hands and mouth worked his shaft.
She could sense he was going to come as she attacked his hard cock. So she slowed and took her mouth off it. She took his cock in her hand and massaged it as she sat down next to him, she had once again averted his cumming, but she rubbed his happy friend and she cleared the drinks and pop corn out of the way. She lifted up the armrests to her right, she let go of his member and lay down on the seats. She kicked off her shoes and slid her dripping wet panties down her legs and like her shoes, kicked them away. Rick look down and saw this beautiful girls snatch for the first time, it was pink, soft and moist. She had a small amount of hair on her pussy that was shaped in an R, "You like?" she asked. "I love" he said. As he crawled towards her.
He kissed his way up her calves, knees and thighs stopping and he warm, wet opening. He took and breath and said "I'm not very… good it this..I haven't… done it before" she shushed him and held his head in her hands as she slowly lowered his mouth to her opening. She smelt wonderful and she began to lick and suck at her pussy. She responded by pushing his face into her vagina. Running his face up and through her walls. "Rick" she said she she moaned and sighed. "Fuck me please." she commanded. Rick gave her one last lick and moved up her body. He kissed her stomach and her belly button and kissed over her shirt and bra. She unbuttoned as he went letting her shirt fall over her now exposed skin, sending electricity up her body.
He poised himself over her tiny figure, she opened her legs a little wider and held his throbbing member, she pushed her head up and kissed him as she guided his thick shaft into her opening. She signed as he stretched her out. She opener her eyes a took in a deep breath as his 8 ½ inches entered her fully. She grabbed his bum and started pushing it into her. "I told you to fuck me Rick, you feel so good, just please, fuck me" she whispered. He took this opportunity and he started thrusting harder and harder into her, to stop from falling Phoebe grabbed the opposite chairs, she then used this hand hold to brace herself for the passionate fucking taking place. She was biting her lips and quivering as Rick slammed deeper and deeper into her Phoebe pulled away from Rick, and turned around, she got onto her hands and knees and invited him aboard.
Rick came towards her and slid the head of his dick into her opening from behind. She let out a little shriek as without warning he pushed into her completely. They both closed their eyes and he pushed into her and she responded by pushing back into him, Phoebe felt her climax build and build and just as she came all over his cock, she opened her eyes to see 2 Australians standing at the edge of the aisle watching them. "Rick!" she said as she turned around to cover herself up, to hide her embarrassment. Just as she heard the theater door close and lock. She turned to see if an usher had come in, but it was just the other 2 Australian men watching and smiling. "What the fuck?!" Rick said as he saw the 4 men.
"That was quite a show!" said the stocky man. "I agree" said his tall friend. "Don't out account" a third man chimed in. "We're sorry guys.. we won;t do it again" rick apologized as he buttons up his pants. "Not again?" Not again!" the stocky many mocks. "I was hoping you'd do it again right now.", The 4 Australians laugh and start walking into the aisle. "Rick…I'm scared" Phoebe says as she holds him arm. "I know, I know…" rick replies. The 4 men advance on the couple. "We;re just going to go, if that's alright with you guys "rick suggests. "Oh no," says the stocky Australian, "No, that's not alright with us! Boys!" At this moment the 3 other Australian men grab Rick and Phoebe, they struggle against them. "What the hell are you doing! We said we're sorry!" rick yells. "I don't care if you're sorry, I don't care at all, I don't care that you like fucking each other in a public place. I just want my turn, that's all."said the Australian. "Your turn?!" Phoebe says, sobbing. "Yep" says the stocky man. "I want mine, my brother Bill wants his turn, and my mates Phil and Mick want to have a shot as well, so if you don't mind!"
Rick's vision burrs instantly as he is hit over the head and collapses. He wakes up some time later and sees he's tied to the front row of the seating bank in the theater, he looks around to see Phoebe, and she's there right infront of him, he hadn't been asleep long because she's still struggling with the. One of the men hits her hard across the face. "Stop it!" he says to her. Stop it of we'll hurt you again. She stops struggling. "Don't hurt her!" Rick pleads. "Oh" says Bill, "looks like our friends away brother" the stocky Australian walks over rick and slaps him in the face, hard. "Shut up! I'm working my magic over here" Rick quietens. Down and sits there, tears running down his face. The stocky man turns to Phoebe and says, "Now honey, you're going to do what we ask, and you're going to enjoy it, or your boyfriend here will get the same treatment as you and we'll both have the same boyfriend. If you get my meaning." Phoebe nods.
"I want to see a smile!" Phoebe smiles at them as they laugh. "The first thing we want you to do it dance for us!" phoebe, without a seconds thought stands up and dances for them, she starts by undoing her shirt and letting it fall to the ground and then, while shaking fumbles with her bra and lets it slide down her body. The 4 men stand gawking at her as rick stares at her from behind, helpless. The 4 Australian men take their clothes off and stand staring at this young tiny thing.
Her breasts are perfect and they don't sag at all, her tiny pink nipples stand to attention in the cold theater. Their dicks grow hard watching her, Phoebe stares in amazement at the array of cocks before her. Each mans dick is bigger than the next. All of them are bigger than Ricks, she swallows hard as she sees what is awaiting her. As she dances, the 4 men rub their cocks, if they were big before now they're massive. "Get on your knees" one of them commands. She obliges.
He walks forward, rubbing his dick with his hands, his 10 inches growing harder and harder. "Open your mouth. Now." she does what she's told. The dirty, big, great cock comes towards her. He wastes no time with her as he shoves his full length into her mouth straight in, all the way down her throat. She gags on the cock and coughs over it. The man laughs, grabs her head and starts fucking it, hard. She gags a little at first, but she soons gets used to the brutality and opens her throat up. To her surprise her pussy is responding to this brutal attack and she has the overwhelming desire to start rubbing her clit. She can't believe, it, but she also can;t control it and this man grabs her chin and the back of her head and rams into her open the mouth she rubs her dripping vagina. Moaning into the heft of cock in her throat. He pulls his dick out to give her some air, she chokes in some air. And she says to his friends "Hey boys, come on she's a live one,have a crack!" as he pushes his cock back into her mouth and humps in wildly . He rips her mouth off his dick and pushes her to the ground as one of his mates comes over.
He pushes her onto her hands, lifts her up by her butt and pushes his wet dick into her open hole. She screams as he enters
her but it's muffled by a
new cock. The cock fills her mouth, it's much bigger than the last and he struggles to get it past her throat, she breaths deeply through her nose as this huge man pushed his dick further and further into her mouth. Her pussy is being ripped open from behind by this massive shlong. As the biggest dick she's ever had comes at her tonsils. Soon the two men are balls deep inside this young girl. And they are pushing in deeper. "Hey Bill!" one of the men says. "Come fuck her ass" . When phoebe hears this she starts squirming away. "No, no no baby, don't move" Bill the tall Australian walks over to Phoebe she looks at his tool briefly while the other two hammer into her. She pushed the man away from her mouth. "Don' t do my ass please!" Phoebe pleads. "We told you to behave darling" the stocky Australian says. "Your boy is mine". Phoebe goes to scream but the tall man pushed his dick into her mouth, it's not as big as the man who was just inside her was, but its long and it goes very deep, very quick. "Suck my dick good lady" says the tall man, "you want to be as lubbed as possible." Phoebe wets his dick as much as she can, licking and sucking and frothing over his cock. "Enough" he says as he pulls out of her mouth They man behind phoebe is started rubbing her clit while he fucks her causing her to have an explosive orgasm. "I think she just came!" He cries loudly and proudly! The tall man walks behind and stand over her back. "can you help me out mate?"
The tall man asks his friend. They boys change position, the man fucking her pussy goes to get another expert head job as the man that was inside her mouth lies underneath phoebe and thrusts his huge cock into her pussy. Just as she gets used to this new cock in her pussy the tall man pushes the head of his dick into her as. Phoebe screams out loud as the 3rd man puts his dick into her mouth again. "This girls a anal virgin boys! She tight as!" the tall man yells as they they whoop and cheer. "You're tight as love" the tall man says to her as he pushed his 9 inches into her virgin arse. As phoebe is filled up, the stock man walks over to Rick who is sitting pantless, cock hard as a rock watching his new girlfriend being taken by these men. "You like it?" the stocky man says. He grabs Rick and pushed him onto the ground next to Phoebe.
"Look at this boys!!" The stocky man says as he opens up ricks mouth. The stocky man puts all 11 inches of his dick into ricks mouth straight away.
He goes all the way in as Rick couch and moans and gags on the huge cock. Phebe watches in terror as her boyfriend is face fucked by another man. She snapps out of it as the tall man says "I'm going to come! Let me in her mouth!" the two men swap positions and the tall man puts the dick that was just in her ass right in her mouth. She takes her blood and her ass and he moves his cock in and out of her mouth. She struggles to move away from the explosion but he just grabs her ears, he holds her hair and jerks off the last few times before he pulls his cock out and sprays cum on her face and then finishes his load in her mouth. He keeps his dick in there as she rolls his cock around in her mouth. It's at this point the man puts his dick in her arse. A much bigger dick than before and she cries and he fills her. He rams her arse a very different way to the other, he puts it in a little way, then takes it out, opens up her arse cheeks and then pushed it all the way in again. Hoe does this faster and faster and he meets the rhythm of this huge friend fucking her pussy.
The stocky Australian still screwing the mouth of the gagging boyfriend says "I've got an idea, bring this lady over here! I want her to suck his cock while we take turns ramming her and filling her up" The men change their positions and move her over. The men takes turns putting it in her pussy and her arse. The stocky man goes first and pumps her harder than she's ever been pumped before. Phoebe starts pushing back into him, heightening her pleasure and his. "I;m going to come" says the stocky man, "So am I" says rick. Phoebe goes to take her mouth away but rick holds it in place as he cums hard down her throat. She pulls away and looks at him disgusted. Cum dripping from her lips. "We have two live ones boys!" says the tall man. None of the boys stop for a moment they all take positions inside phoebe and fuck her senseless. They rocket together filling her holes as she moans and screams, cuming once and then twice and then 4 and 5 times screaming for her captors to fuck her harder.
"FFUUUUCK ME!! HARD!!! PLEASE! GOD FUCK ME!" RICK DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TRULY! FUCK A GIRL!" This sends the men over the wall and the man screwing her arse cumms hard and deep in side as as she shudders and cums again. Rick then takes his position behind her and fucks her loose arse. The 2 other men one under her and oner face fucking her go for broke with rick working in rhythm plunging one hole then the other then the other. "I'm going to come" the two men say as they assault this young girl. But rick keeps going hard. The 4 men finish off my jerking off over the two kids screwing each other. They pack up get their clothes on and leave the theater and the couple behind.
Rick and Phoebe fuck each other all the way through the movie, until the credits roll where she straddles him and bounces up and down on his dick, her sweet tits bouncing too. They look into each other eyes and cum together. She falls on him and they kiss tasting the cum. They get changed and walk out of the theater. Back home, where new adventures await.
Till next time.

Roberta Williams Caught In Terrifying Confrontation
The widow of gangland killer Carl Williams has allegedly been caught on video lashing out at a man and woman at a petrol station while dressed in her pyjamas.
Witnesses claim Roberta Williams grabbed an object from the boot of her BMW and used it to allegedly threaten a man.
It's unclear what provoked William's alleged meltdown, but it's believed the violent confrontation took place after the car she and her daughter and granddaughter were travelling in broke down.
Witnesses say the 47-year-old parked her BMW in the driveway of the Melbourne petrol station at around 4:30pm on Friday and a four-wheel-drive stopped behind.
"I saw Roberta Williams open her boot and grab (an object) and try to swing it at some guy. She started swearing her head off and screaming and yelling. There were a lot of witnesses ... she was in her pyjamas, too," the witness told The Herald Sun.
Source: The Herald Sun
According to another witness the drama didn't end there, it's alleged she also threatened to a harm a woman.
The video shows what appears to be Williams' daughter attempting to hold back her irate mother, while nursing her baby. It's unclear whether charges have been laid.

Middle Prong Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Middle Prong Wilderness (map) in 1984 and it now has a total of 7,482 acres. All of this wilderness is located in North Carolina and is managed by the Forest Service. The Middle Prong Wilderness is bordered by the Shining Rock Wilderness to the northeast.
DescriptionPioneers grabbed up this area, once part of the Cherokee Nation, starting in 1796. After settlement, most of the land was purchased, first by a paper company in the early 1900s, then by a lumber company. A town shaped up at the junction of the Right Prong, Middle Prong, and Left Prong of the West Fork of the Pigeon River. The town was later relocated, but the lumber company continued its quest for timber, removing vast stands of red spruce, Fraser fir, hemlocks, and hardwoods from 1906 to 1926 and building an extensive system of logging railroads. Four of these old railroad beds are now used as hiking trails in today's Middle Prong Wilderness. The Wilderness rests on high ridges southeast of Richland Balsam, a steep and rugged terrain forested with second-growth spruce and fir, and opened by grass-heath "balds" on the ridges. Mixed hardwoods cover the lower slopes. Elevations range from 3,200 feet on the West Fork of the Pigeon River to 6,400 feet near Richland Balsam. Numerous streams work their way down to the river. Only a road separates this Wilderness from Shining Rock Wilderness to the north. Middle Prong is a small Wilderness with a limited and primitive trail system. The hiking rates as difficult, but ample opportunities exist for solitude. The most used trail is a four-mile portion (approximate distance) of the Mountains-to-Sea route to the extreme south. The Green Mountain Trail (approximately six miles) crosses the area from north to south. No campfires are permitted, and group size is limited to 10. The Blue Ridge Parkway parallels the southern Wilderness boundary.

The last concert of the school year at Hope College will offer a variety of firsts, including the world premiere of a work composed by two members of the faculty.
The concert, which will be held on Tuesday, April 26, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel, will feature the premiere of "Babel," co-written by faculty members Dr. Brian Coyle and Dr. Brad Richmond. Coyle is director of jazz studies and Richmond is director of choral activities at the college, and the event will also feature the first pairing of the college's Jazz Arts Collective with Hope's choirs.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
"The presentation of the piece will fulfill a Nyenhuis grant that was awarded to Brian and me a couple of summers ago," said Richmond, who is a professor of music. "Our piece is a comment on the folly of war in general, and the huge volume of opinion and spin that has been generated on the subject over the past century."
In other works on the program, the concert will mark the debut of baritone Dr. JungWoo Kim, who joined Hope's music faculty in the fall as an assistant professor of voice. Kim will be singing the solos in the "Five Mystical Songs" for choir and baritone by Ralph Vaughan Williams. The piece will also feature faculty member Jennifer Wolfe as pianist and freshman organist Kristin Baron of Holland.
Choir and organ will also be featured performing "O Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem," by Herbert Howells; "Jubilate Deo," by Benjamin Britten; and the "Magnificat in B-flat," by C.V. Stanford.
In addition, the Jazz Arts Collective will be presenting three pieces on its own.
Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street.

OAKLAND — A woman who had been celebrating her youngest child's fifth birthday and a man who had just left a party were shot to death within four hours Friday night in East Oakland, and police said Saturday they were investigating a third homicide near Jack London Square and three other shootings.
The woman killed Friday was identified as Jokay Ellis, 32.
Her boyfriend, Christopher Carter, 31, the father of the child, was later arrested on suspicion of murder after he called police and admitted shooting her, authorities said.
Ellis was shot about 7:47 p.m. Friday in a bedroom of her home in the 10300 block of Longfellow Avenue. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Besides her 5-year-old daughter, she also has a 15-year-old daughter, police said. The children were in the house when the shooting happened but did not witness it, police said.
Investigators said Ellis and Carter, who told police he also lives at the house, had been celebrating their daughter's birthday when they got into an argument and Ellis was shot.
It was not clear what the argument was about. Police said the couple has a history of domestic violence.
Officer Steven Bang said Carter fled the house but called police moments later, admitting what he did and where he was.
He was arrested in the 1800 block of 109th Avenue and told police where he had discarded the gun, which was recovered.
The children were being cared for by relatives.
Authorities said the killing was the 10th this year linked to domestic violence.
The other shooting that claimed the life of a 39-year-old man and left a 53-year-old man wounded happened about 11:44 p.m. Friday in the 5400 block of East 16th Street at Seminary Avenue.
The name of the dead man was not released because relatives have not been located.
Officer Leo Sanchez said the two men had just left a party in the area and entered the older man's car when a gunman approached and opened fire. The 39-year-old man died at the scene and the other man was taken to a hospital in critical but stable condition.
Sanchez said police do not have a motive yet for the attack and no arrests have been made.
Sanchez did say there have been several nonfatal shootings in the same area in recent months and police are trying to determine if there is a connection between those and Friday night's.
Police investigated a third homicide Saturday afternoon in the 400 block of 3rd Street around 2:45 p.m. Officers found Michael Taylor, 24, with gunshot wounds.
There are no motives and no suspects in Taylor's shooting.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $10,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the suspect in Taylor's death.
In addition to the homicide, three other shootings occurred in Oakland on Saturday afternoon, though none of the male victims had life-threatening injuries.
There is $15,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the suspect in the East 16th Street case.
Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3821 or a tip line at 510-773-2805 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572. Tips can also be sent anonymously via text message. Text to 888-777 and include the words TipOaklandPD.

Weather Channel's Jim Cantore Knees A Guy in the Groin on Live TV
If you watch the Weather Channel, you know Jim Cantore can handle all types of weather. One thing he can't handle? Someone trying to get in on his live shot.
Cantore was in South Carolina last night (Tuesday) covering the winter storm that blanketed the southeastern United States (up to three inches of snow fell across the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louiisiana, paralyzing the region since they don't have plows or sand trucks and people simply don't know how to drive on snow...sort of like Sioux Falls on a snow day when you think about it with the bad drivers...)
Anyway, a guy decided he wanted to be live on the Weather Channel with Cantore last night so came running at him, yelling, while Cantore was live on the air.
Cantore handled the guy with the same grace he handles standing in a blinding snowstorm or hurricane force winds. With a simple knee to the groin!
Jim Cantore is my new hero today.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Penn State University Park Allocation Committee (UPAC) and the Student Activity Fee Board offered a look at how the fee is utilized with a summary report of 2012-13 from the committee chairman.
"It is my hope that this information provides you with greater insight on how your $85 per semester activity fee was used to enhance the experiences of you and your peers," said UPAC outgoing Chairman Jesse Scott.
Scott is one of eight students serving on the University's 13-member SAF board and analyzed allocations in three spending categories: standing, fixed and student organizations. The most recent data for fee allocations comes from 2012-13.
The fixed funding represents approximately 33 percent of the fee and is used for historical financial obligations approved by the SAF board. The fee originated in 1995 to serve as a funding source for renovation, completed in 1998, of the HUB-Robeson Center while also providing supplemental funds for student-centered programming. Current fixed allocations include supporting the construction of the Student Health Services Building (completed in 2008), providing undergraduate and graduate student governments with operating budgets, and maintaining a budget for Student Legal Services.
Standing (40 percent of the fee) and student organization (27 percent) funds are allocated by UPAC. Standing funds support student programming with allocations to the Bryce Jordan Center (BJC), Center for Performing Arts (CPA),Center for Women Students (CWS), Child Care Subsidy, LGBTA Student Resource Center (LGBTA SRC), Office of Student Activities (OSA), Paul Robeson Cultural Center (PRCC), Recreational Sports, Student Programming Association (SPA), Homecoming and Movin' On.
"Most students are familiar with reduced student ticket prices for BJC concerts that happen throughout the year," Scott said. "However, you may not be aware that SAF funds are also used by CPA to make cultural events and performing arts as affordable as possible for all students. The largest portion of standing allocations goes to SPA, which provides dozens of events each semester, including comedians, bands, the Noontime Concert Series, Distinguished Speaker Series and LateNight activities."
In providing funds for student organizations, UPAC fielded 643 requests in 2012-13, supporting the likes of TEDxPSU, Touch of Africa, The Lion 90.7 FM, the Michigan State vs. Penn State blood drives, No Refund Theater, Pollock Pallooza, Quadzilla, Valley Magazine and The Phollegian.
For questions about UPAC, and information on requesting funds and serving as a member, email email@example.com.

The page is a terrific example of what Bob Mayer calls the Discoverability Wars. To quote Bob:
"In the past the competition was for an agent, a book deal, distribution, placement, etc. Now it's all for Discoverability. And there's only so much of it to go around."
I agree that Discoverability (I love that term) is the newest challenge for authors. I disagree a bit with Bob in that there is only so much to go around. As we enter a global market place (someday I'll have readers in China who haven't even been born yet) I think there will be more than enough of the pie available for all authors to share, especially since publishing isn't a zero sum game.
Authors will still require Discoverability, but that is only limited by our imaginations. Summer imagined a spot on the web where fans of Fifty Shades could recommend similar books to each other. A smart idea. But is is a successful one?
Here's Summer to talk about it...
WTRAFSOG (What to Read After Fifty Shades of Grey) reader recommendation / author promotion page.
It is fitting that Joe will post this here, because my journey as an author begins with this blog. The countless hours I spent reading through old blog posts and thousands of comments was absolutely riveting for someone that was eager to learn about the new publishing world. The blog was the impetus for me to stop procrastinating and actually start writing. Joe is very modest about accepting praise, but in this case (unless he heavily edits my blog post) he will have to accept my thanks.
My journey as an author really parallels my real life journey so it is hard to discuss one without the other. Quick background: Almost 20 years of marriage dissolves suddenly, and I was lonely. Come to think of it - I was pretty lonely for much of my marriage as well. That's about it for the background. I never intended to write erotica, I had all these other stories in my head (and I still do), but the intriguing nature of what was going on in my personal life led me to create my Summer's Journey series. I call it "True Romance / Erotica" because it is based very closely on my real life, I only changed enough details to protect the guilty. I figured exposing my personal life in public might be a bit rough on my family and my career.
So I wrote about what was going on in my life, finished Summer's Journey: Volume One - Losing Control (FREE now on Kindle) which is the first of my series, and after about forty-seven rounds of editing, decided to publish it. I was one of those new authors who knew just enough to know that they knew nothing. I cannot speak warmly enough about the indie author community and how it embraced me as a new fledgling author. Many authors, bloggers and readers took valuable time to share insights, show me how to do certain things, offer advice, etc.
Of course I eschewed some of that advice from the very beginning and published the first volume of a new erotic series without any SEX in it. Volume One is all character development and back story about how I met Mark and his unusual method of courtship. Authors of erotica that I spoke to were united in their advice that this was not a good idea. Surprisingly however, it worked. The series found readers right away that were eager to see what was going to happen next, after that little black dress hit the hotel room floor in Volume One. That was back in August of 2011 and it has been a very interesting ride since then.
I wish I could speak of having encountered the same level of success as many of the authors who have been guests here, but my sales have been fairly slow, despite some really great reviews. It was not until quite recently that I really started to take to heart Joe's advice about the best marketing you can do for your current book - is to write your next one. For a long time I was having entirely too much fun utilizing social media to introduce myself and my story to readers, authors, bloggers, etc. What I was not doing was writing the next book. For a series that lends itself to short volumes, I was taking much too long to produce the next one.
It is about this time that I came across this particular nugget of wisdom on Joe's blog:
"One hand should always be reaching up for your next goal. The other should be reaching down to help others get where you're at. We're all in the same boat. Start passing out oars."
Given how I was embraced as a new author, this one really resonated with me. I began to be more active in the community, taking what I had learned through others or by my own trial and error, and passing it along. I helped by being a beta reader, doing reviews of books I had read and enjoyed, sharing others promotional efforts to get the word out about new releases, etc.
Then at the end of April this year, I had an idea. I think Melinda DuChamp recently said in her first guest post here that she was "not above riding on coattails." The same can be said of myself, although I had another ulterior motive as well. My intent in setting up the What To Read After Fifty Shades of Grey page was to take advantage of the influx of new readers to the erotica genre and point them towards other talented authors (including myself). Call it a matter of inspiration (or should that be sin-spiration?), good timing, good luck, etc. - whatever it was - the page has taken off.
I set up the page 4 months ago. 132 days to be exact. As of this morning, the page has resulted in over 16,250 book sales from the links and averaged over 200 books sold a day during August. The number of fans of the page just topped 10,800 yesterday and continues to grow at the rate of 100 or so a day. The number of authors who have messaged me about the uptick in their sales across all platforms after being mentioned on the page is truly unbelievable. As an author who knows just how hard it can be (pun intended) to market erotica, this warms my heart to be able to give back in some small way to the very community that has supported me from the beginning.
I welcome all authors to post their works on the page. I will throw out the caveat that the vast majority of books being sold as a result of the WTRAFSOG page are indeed erotic in nature, but if you write a good blurb and grab the reader's attention, you never know.
As a side note, I find it interesting that so many authors speak poorly of the Fifty Shades of Grey series and bemoan her success. I know that E.L. James herself has admitted that the books are not very well-written, but for the sheer fact that they have gotten so immensely popular, other erotica authors should be grateful. In a lot of ways, Fifty Shades has peeled back the curtain and exposed erotica to more mainstream attention. The number of erotica (or erotic romance) authors now making a very good living and being offered traditional publishing deals is increasing daily. Awhile back on my blog I compared this effect to Tiger Woods. At the height of his popularity, Tiger brought so many new fans to the game of golf that no matter what you think of him as a competitor, a person or a husband - you cannot deny the positive influence he has had on the sport. The same is true of Fifty Shades of Grey. I cannot begin to tell you how many new fans of the Facebook page have introduced themselves starting out with the words, "I am a new reader." Many authors I have spoken to lately have started to realize that anything that gets people reading again is truly a wonderful thing, because once these readers are done with the Fifty Shades trilogy, they are looking for something else to read. And they are voracious readers.
As for my Summer's Journey series, I just released Summer's Journey: Volume Four - Corporal Coupling two weeks ago. After a six month hiatus between volumes, I have my work cut out for me in terms of reestablishing some of the momentum from earlier books. Balancing time between my full time job, the Facebook promotion page and my own writing has been difficult, but as with all the other tasks involved in self-publishing, I welcome the challenge.
Joe sez: When Summer posted in my comments section a few weeks ago, I was intrigued. Not only by her Facebook page (which I discovered via Ruth Cardello) but by the premise of her series. So I went to Amazon, read Volume One, and then immediately purchased her Summer's Journey: Collection One which compiles volumes 1 -3.
Erotica isn't my thing, but I found the books to be well written, fun, and sexy. As did Mrs. Konrath. I also think the main idea behind them is smart--two divorced people embark on a kinky sexual journey together that is new for both of them--and that releasing them as chapbooks is a clever way to go about it. As Summer hoped, after reading the first 3 parts, I also bought part 4 to see what happens next. That it may actually be true adds to the fun.
Right now, Summer's Journey Volume One: Losing Control is free in the US and UK, and I recommend people pick it up and help to spread the word. If you can stop reading after the first installment, you have more self-control than I do.
I have some unsolicited advice for Summer, which is par for the course whenever I have a guest.
1. While her chapbooks are fun and make me want to find out what happens next, I'd like them to have a bit more conflict. Summer assured me that future volumes will indeed address this, and told me about some terrific ideas she had.
Conflict is something that a lot of authors tend to downplay, when it should be ratcheted up.
2. I'm not sure Summer is pricing these correctly. I'd recommend Volume One be perma-free (a neat term to describe the act of making it free on Smashwords and waiting for Amazon to price match. That's what Barry Eisler and I have done with Be the Monkey.) Then, because the volumes are short (around 20 pages), I'd charge 99 cents for each. As more and more volumes are added, and the page length goes up, they can be combined and Summer can charge more.
Maybe Summer has already experimented with price and has proven me wrong, but I do think she'd sell more ebooks, and widen her fanbase, with lower prices.
3. I haven't seen any authors use the chapbook format successfully. Summer is doing what Sue Grafton did (not dissing indies, she's titling her books by following the alphabet) so there will be at least 26 volumes to this series, which should result in a 500 page book when finished. But more than that, it will result in 26 volumes for 99 cents each, and many compilations for $2.99 or more.
I'm intrigued by this idea, to the point where I'm considering doing something similar. Readers may dislike having to wait for installments, but the more Summer writes, the less this becomes a concern. Which leads to...
4. Summer needs to write faster. She should be putting out a new volume every two weeks, at least. I understand that real life intrudes, and that she's doing a lot with her Facebook page, but I think her series has potential, and she should prioritize her writing.
5. If Summer's blog is doing so well, why not turn it into an ebook? There is a perma-free ebook on Amazon called Ten Shades of Sexy which features sex scenes from ten different novels. It has been on the Top 100 Free List for many weeks, and I can't help but assume that readers who read it and like one of the excerpts go on to buy that author's ebook. Not that I advocate Summer take time away from her writing to to make an ebook compendium of books she has featured on her blog, but this is thinking outside the Discoverability box, and could lead to sales. I'm sure many authors would happily donate a sex scene to a compilation called What to Read After Fifty Shades of Grey: Kinky Excerpts from Fifty Top Erotica Authors.
Summer could put one of her own scenes in there (first chapter, naturally) and then ask authors who have appeared on her Facebook page if they'd like to participate, gratis.
I believe erotica is perfectly suited to this type of collection, since the sex scenes are the main reason people read these books.
6. I like the woman on Summer's covers with the lace blindfold, but I'm not keen on the font or the layout.
I realize professional covers are often costly (though right now my cover artist Carl Graves is having another $200 sale on some premade covers that are fabulous) but I think, with minor tweaks, Summer's covers could look more professional and less indie.
7. While my advice is for Summer, it applies to everyone. So does her advice. Summer encouraged user-aggregated content to create a billboard. Where there was once nothing, there is now something, and people are visiting and helping her make it larger while also spreading the word. She's using Facebook much more effectively than a simple author or fan page, and she's gotten good results.
That's all I've got. I wish Summer success, and look forward to Volume Five, which is letter D. I hope it has to do with domination and discipline, and not dirty diapers. :)

The following rules defining what type of behavior is not acceptable on your blog.
Should you post anything that contravenes these rules your blog post will be removed without notice.
On your NewGalNudes Blog - unacceptable behavior is defined as:
Picture / Video Posting Content Restrictions
Your pictures / videos are not welcome, and will be removed if they:
Please be sure not to upload pics that contain any of the
above - they will be removed, and in the case of minors or other illegal activity - your IP address
WILL be reported to the police.
There is no notification when photos are removed, if you feel your photos were wrongly removed contact support.
1) Post an NGN stamped pic that is obviously you and is representative of your other pics. The NGN must not be added to the photo afterwards.
2) The pics must also contain your NGN username and, again, it must not
be added afterwards. This is to help stop your pics from being reused
by others for verification.
3) We require at least 2 shots of the same NGN and username (as it appears on your account - no abbreviations) from different angles.
Note: There has been some confusion in the past about this requirement. To put it in other words, we need to see two photos, from different angles, of the SAME username sign. The actual same sign. EG. if you write "SexyUser NGN" on your belly, we need to see that photographed from say the left and then the right. It does not mean make two signs with the same text content.
4) Make sure you upload it into the category called "verification submissions". This
category is used to find the pics requiring verification.
5) If you post pics in your gallery of your partner(s) you must also include them in your verification submission pics. IN OTHER WORDS - if you have ANYONE ELSE in your gallery of pics - such as a sexual partner or your partner - THEY ALSO need to be in the verification pics!!
6) It is preferable to see the NGN handwritten and not printed on a piece of paper. Otherwise it becomes difficult for us to tell whether the NGN is real.
7) Members must have at least 5 pics in their gallery (in addition to the verification request pics) in order to qualify for verification.
8) After the main poster(s) is/are verified they may include the OCCASSIONAL photo that includes the verified poster(s) plus another person - so long as the other person is not identifiable. If verified poster is not in the photo, you will be subject to having verification removed.
If there is any doubt as to the authenticity of the NGN stamp and whether it is the same person as the other pics we will not verify.
We feel that a high standard should be maintained in this area so if you see a verified poster who is posting pics that aren't their own we would like to hear about it via the site support system and we will remove gold shields as we have done in the past!

Children Struck By Car In Lakewood [VIDEO]
Two children in Lakewood remain in critical but stable condition after being hit by a car as they crossed a street.
The 2 and 8 year old kids were crossing Cushman Street at Route 9 with their mother yesterday afternoon when a 20-year-old was turning right, striking the two. The mother wasn't injured. The 2-year-old was in a stroller.
Police are also looking for a man who was using a jack to lift the 2012 Honda Accord off the children which helped first responders get them out from under the car according to the Asbury Park Press.
The driver, who is five months pregnant, was not injured but taken to Kimball Medical Center as a precaution according to the Asbury Park Press. She was charged with reckless driving.

There is nothing to take a holiday from, nowhere to go on vacation. There is nothing to run from, nowhere to hide, no one that needs to escape from anything. The fullness of now is always here; the wholeness of here is this endless moment, ever present. Whatever you're doing, that is what is meant to be done; the key is: you're not doing it.
If it seems that you need to disentangle your ego, strip back your conditioning, dismantle some of the more obvious lies that the ego tells itself about itself and everything it apprehends, well then, that is what it seems. By all means, pursue this. Why not? An urge is an urge, and it isn't your urge, however much it feels that it is.
If the lines of reality blur, and wakefulness seems dreamlike, and the illusory nature of what the senses deliver seems, at last, to be evident - question it. Question what it is you thought that this was supposed to be like. Ponder on expectations fulfilled. Whatever question is asked, whatever musings arise, isn't your question; they aren't your musings.
Decide what the parameters of Absolute Truth are, and be suspicious of them. Meditate in stillness, experience a "glimpse" of blissful nothingness, and suspect your definition of bliss. Whatever concepts are settled upon, whatever definitions resonate - they aren't your concepts; they do not resonate with you. The more solid, the more sure the reality, the more elusive it is. The fuller the revelation, the more cumbersome its demise.
So if the sureness of reality is strictly defined, be cautious of its promise. There is no promise, for promise entails time; and there is no time. This is all there is, all we have, and there is no we to have it. What is, is.
Recently I saw Toy Story 3D with my kids, and this is the last scene; it's quite powerful, especially if you've been with Woody and the gang from the beginning. There were several adults openly weeping in the small audience we were in, and I won't say the children and I were immune! What a treat, to have such a story, resonating with all our other stories of belonging and rejection, vigorous life and untimely death, the power of imagination, the quality of life itself and what comprises it. If you haven't seen it yet, I'd wait to view this clip. And grab a tissue.

I've been put in the situation where like it or not I have to get up at about four or five in the morning to chase away foxes from our chook pen. I've had to choose whether to protect our flock of dear little hens and the two roosters or to stay in bed and get the sleep that I need. You see I'm a night owl. Very rarely do I go to bed before 1am, so I need those precious minutes in the morning more than most.
I've been a night owl all my life. Those hours just before and after midnight are spent doing my things: writing, relaxing, reading, craftwork.
They are things that I do quietly by myself when I know little people wanting to 'help' won't interrupt me. I usually drag myself out of bed about seven in the morning.
So I come to my dilemma. My very precious flock of chickens has been dwindling in number due to the fact that there are a number of nasty foxes in our area at the moment. Some have figured out how to get into the pen even though we have made it as safe as possible. Many of these hens and in particular the two roosters have been hand raised and are part of the family. As soon as the dog starts to bark I know that there is a fox lurking nearby. This is usually about four or five in the morning. I scramble for my boots and run out the door trying to pull on something warm and fiddle to get the torch on at the same time.
More often than not I catch the glint of the foxes eyes in the beam of the torch and manage to scare him away, wishing all the time that I had a gun so I could shoot it or at least frighten it enough to leave my little corner of the world alone. As I slowly walk back towards the house, hens safe for another night I look up and notice the stars, winking in the early morning light. Then I take in a few deep breaths, I let the pure beauty envelope me and I stand gazing at our amazing world.
Then I think to my self how lucky am I to have this sheer pleasure here at my door. I thank God that I was born in a country that I can walk outside in the middle of the night and have nothing to fear, where the skies are free of danger. Surrounded by family and friends I am able to live a relatively simple life. I might not like getting up at this hour but the rewards are more special than you can imagine.

Chooks are worth any sacrifice. Get a donkey they are protecting sheep and cattle from dogs.
a very heart warming nature story---i love the picture too.
A beautiful story about the trials and delights of nature. I'm shocking in the morning too, but I'm always awe struck if I am dragged out of bed for some reason and get to experience the rarer air of early morning - low hanging mists, the delicate colours of the sky, and best of all the sounds.
What lucky chooks to have such a caring owner.
Thanks for sharing your story, Andy. Your sacrifice of sleep is rewarded by the beauty around you and the safekeeping of your chooks. Best of luck with keeping the foxes at bay.

For those of you not familiar with the Board of Elections, it serves a vital function in the city when it comes to running elections, such as registering candidates and setting up polling stations. Or so we're told.
It's also a notorious throwback to old-school New York City backroom politics, where loyalists are granted patronage posts to do the dirty work of the party leaders. You see, in addition to running elections, the ten commissioners – five Republicans and five Democrats, all appointees – also vote on who gets to stay on the ballot when questions arise about the legitimacy of a campaign, such as if enough valid signatures were collected to initially get on the ballot.
As you can imagine, this system is ripe for abuse, especially when rogue candidates challenge the party favorite – whether they be Democrat or Republican. Party officials immediately challenge petition signatures, and it's pretty obvious how the commissioners – who are appointed by the party – are going to cast their vote if there is even the slightest whiff of impropriety.
In Queens, two factions of the Republican Party, one led by current party chairman Phil Ragusa, the other led by – or at least he has become the face and voice for the rival faction – Councilman Eric Ulrich.
Ulrich became aware of an oft-overlooked provision in state election law that requires the party leaders in all five boroughs send a letter to the City Council at least thirty days before January 1 re-nominating its commissioner, which in this case was Ragusa's hand-picked appointee Judith Stupp.
So at Ulrich's urging, Stupp was replaced by Michael Michel, a former aide to ex-Councilman Thomas Ognibene. Ulrich and Staten Island Republicans - councilmen Jimmy Oddo and Vincent Ignazio - voted to in favor of Michel, while Queens Councilman Dan Halloran was the only one to vote against him.
Halloran, a northeastern Queens Republican, has shown a lukewarm loyalty to the current party chairman, if only because he might realize he represents a district with a number of Democratic candidates looking to take his seat this year, and can't afford to make too many political enemies.
Even though he voted against Michel, he was quoted in Crain's as saying that replacing Stupp might not be a bad thing in the long run.
The move to replace Stupp will undoubtedly face a legal challenge, but it's quite the shot across the bow when it comes to the ongoing war within the Queens GOP.
Funny thing, though, as it turns out none of the Republican Party chairs in any borough filed a re-nominating letter, opening the door to replace all of the GOP commissioners at the Board of Elections.
And once Brooklyn State Senator Marty Golden got wind of what went down in Queens, he immediately pushed to have the commissioner from Brooklyn, Nancy Mottola-Schacher, replaced by Simon Shamoun, the vice chairman of the Brooklyn Republican Party.
Oddo said there are no plans to replace the Staten Island commissioner, but the City Council's Republican delegation will meet soon to discuss whether or not to replace the commissioners from the Bronx and Manhattan.
While the replacement of the Queens commissioner initially may have been about a small power grab, the move to oust the other commissioners has a more altruistic motive. According to published reports that quote Oddo, who is the City Council's Minority Leader, the push to replace commissioners is less about showing who is boss, and more about putting forward-thinking and vocal commissioners with a lot of energy at the head of the Board of Elections.
The board has gotten a bad rap over the years, and deservedly so, for being a place where do-nothing party hacks go to pick up an easy paycheck and do their master's bidding.
One example of this dysfunction is that the Board of Elections has been without an executive director since George Gonzalez resigned in a cloud of controversy in 2010. A new executive director requires 6 votes of the 10-member board, which means one commissioner would have to cross party lines for a new executive director to be approved.
That isn't happening with this group of commissioners.
So it looks like Ulrich's discovery of this little technicality that he presumably used to needle the current leadership of the Queens GOP could actually lead to a more transparent and functioning Board of Elections.
Hey, maybe something good will come out of all of this infighting after all!

Washington voters approve 2015 plan
The final article of the 26 articles approved revised the town's bylaws governing wind turbine projects by prohibiting large-scale wind electric generation defined as any facility with a maximum generation capacity of greater than 60 kilowatts.
Credit: By Dick Lindsay, Berkshire Eagle Staff | 05/12/2014 | www.berkshireeagle.com ~~
WASHINGTON – Local taxpayers have adopted a nearly level-funded budget for the new fiscal year starting July 1.
Annual Town Meeting on Saturday night approved a fiscal 2015 spending plan of $1,508,000, roughly a $4,000 increase over the current budget, according to town officials.
The biggest budget item is the town's share of public education. The voters supported a $586,000 assessment to the Central Berkshire Regional School District, an increase of $12,000 compared to fiscal 2014, which ends June 30.
Town Meeting also backed borrowing $100,000 toward the purchase of a highway truck with a plow costing just over $200,000, the balance to be paid from the town's share of Chapter 90 state highway funds.
Town meeting voters also agreed to use $50,000 in surplus funds to lessen the tax impact of the fiscal 2015 budget. Municipal financial officials expect the current tax rate to increase 6 cents per $1,000 assessed value, from $13.43 to $13.49.
The final article of the 26 artcilesapproved revised the town's bylaws governing wind turbine projects by prohibiting large- scale wind electric generation defined as any facility with a maximum generation capacity of greater than 60 kilowatts.
Meanwhile, all incumbents listed on next Saturday's annual town election ballot are running unopposed, including Selectman Michael Case. Two races listed are in need of write-in candidates as none are listed for the two-year unexpired terms for the town auditor and a seat on the Finance Committee.
Polls will be open from noon to 4 p.m. May 16 at Town Hall.

Q: What is the Senate's role in Presidential cabinet nominations?
A: Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution provides that the President's power to appoint individuals to high government office can only be exercised with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate. While I generally defer to the President's prerogative to chose individuals for his cabinet whose views and personalities he prefers, it is my duty as a Senator to make sure the cabinet nominee is qualified and able to fulfill all duties of the job. Senate confirmation hearings should be the toughest job interviews in the nation because of the large amount of responsibility and power held by these unelected public officials. I take my responsibility in the confirmation process of cabinet members seriously. As Supreme Court Justice Brandeis said almost a century ago, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Making sure that the confirmation process for cabinet members is transparent is fundamental to accountability and confidence in our system of government. I will continue to ask relevant questions during nomination hearings on behalf of good government. As always, I encourage Iowans to share their opinions with me about cabinet nominees or any other issue by calling my offices in Washington and Iowa or visiting http://grassley.senate.gov.
Q: How many Iowans have served in Presidential cabinets?
A: Sixteen Iowans have served in Presidential cabinets, including Iowa's only President: Herbert Hoover. Hoover was Secretary of Commerce for Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. Former Iowa Governor and new Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack is the latest Iowan to be included in the cabinet of the President of the United States.
Q: What is the process the Senate uses to confirm cabinet nominees?
A: The Senate has 18 legislative committees that have jurisdiction over certain areas of government. Cabinet nominations are considered by the committee or committees that are responsible for the issues handled by the government department that each nominee has been selected to lead. I'm Ranking Member of the Finance Committee and also a member of the Agriculture, Budget, and Judiciary committees, so I'm involved in the Senate committee confirmation process for the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Treasury, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Attorney General, and the U.S. Trade Representative. Committee hearings allow committee members to ask questions of individual cabinet nominees and voice concerns for the public record. The information that comes out during committee consideration of nominees helps inform the votes of committee members and, then of all 100 senators once the committee reports the nomination to the full Senate for its consideration of the nomination.
