Knowing exactly how your refrigerator will be made use of is a large secret as to what design as well as dimension refrigerator you must buy for your brand-new cooking area. Do you have little kids that open up as well as shut the door simply for the enjoyable of it? Or do you have young adults that will stand with the door broad open while daydreaming of the child in the front row or the big game tomorrow evening? Are they searching for a glass of milk or something for a sandwich? There are refrigerators that have doors within doors to enable one to get at the milk or juice saved in the extra deep rack on the inside of the door.
Ice dispensing systems developed right into the freezer door aids keep the temperature in the fridge freezer area near the close to absolutely no temperature level that it is developed to keep. This exact same mechanism can pay out cold filtered alcohol consumption water. It can be a thirst-saver during the hot months. If you do purchase a refrigerator that has a built-in filtering system, make certain to keep the recommended routine for altering the filter. It does no great to have a water filter, if you do not do your part as well as really change the filter when indicated.
Make certain that the placement of the refrigerator and also fridge freezer allows the doors to be totally opened. You will certainly need this capacity to be able to get rid of the shelving from the devices for a thorough cleansing. You will want the placement of the refrigerator to be part of the 'gold triangle' STOVE-REFRIGERATOR-SINK of cooking area interior layout. Preferably, you desire those 3 pieces of your kitchen area to be in straight connection with each other. The concept is that you take things out of the refrigerator to the sink and then to the cooktop. Make sure that you have sufficient counter space (by your definition) alongside each of the large 3 to make sure that the area is practical for your needs. When you are doing away with groceries from the store, you will wish to have offered counter room to separate and separate up which food goes where.
Do you require a refrigerator that has truly wide racks rather compared to the standard side by side? You could obtain refrigerators with glass doors so you can see just what is within. We had one that was initially made to be made use of as a wine cooler, but we utilized it as a specialized refrigerator for fruits and also veggies.
As you can see, as soon as you determine exactly how the refrigerator is to be made use of, it ends up being simpler to pick which refrigerator to purchase and also make use of.
Recognizing how your refrigerator will certainly be utilized is a large key as to what style and dimension refrigerator you should acquire for your brand-new kitchen area. There are refrigerators that have doors within doors to allow one to get at the milk or juice saved in the added deep rack on the inside of the door.
Make certain that the positioning of the refrigerator as well as fridge freezer allows the doors to be entirely opened. You can obtain refrigerators with glass doors so you can see just what is within.

Sunday Megan and I drove to Lexington to see some women's college basketball. Auburn played at Kentucky at Memorial Coliseum. Kentucky has been ranked #4, but Auburn had a good game against #9 Tennessee last week so I thought it would be a decent game. After reading the program, I should have known better. On the program is Kentucky's "slogan" for the year, "40 Minutes of Dread."
Auburn stayed with them for about six minutes. After that, it was a painful game to watch. Down by 30 at halftime. Lost by 44. Kentucky pressed full court the entire game. We left with about three minutes on the clock and headed to a local mall. I heard later that the Auburn coach was unhappy with Kentucky's coach for pressing the entire game and they had words during the postgame handshake. I also read an article that the Kentucky coach said they play 40 minutes and are not going to let up for anyone. I understand playing hard for 40 minutes, but there is no reason to press when you're up 40+ points. Kentucky may be a highly-ranked team in the polls but they are not a highly-regarded team on my list.
Despite the outcome of the game, I'm glad we went and Megan and I always have fun. I was proud to be there in person to support the women's team. War Eagle!
The most fun part of the game? Halftime - they had a mascot basketball game!

As many will know, our little aspie – Daniel – has been in hospital this week for an op on his knees. The operation went well, and recovery is well underway. Slow recovery. Like most ASD children, sitting (or lying) around waiting isn't something they are capable of managing and the strain has been telling on Daniel. His view of the op was that he's be on his feet the following day and would be walking out of the hospital. The reality has been very different, and he's found it hard to cope with. There's a lot of work with the physios involved, and he's been resistant to their input because however necessary it is, it hurts. Its difficult for him to accept that he needs to go through that to get home, and he's desperate to get home having watched other children be admitted then discharged before him.
When I took Matthew to see Daniel last night, it was evident however that he was starting to make good progress. He'd been on his feet for 30 seconds (it doesn't seem long, but for Daniel it was a triumph) and had been able to go through to the play area on the ward. It really lifted his spirits to think that he was moving forward at last. When we saw him, he was looking much happier than he had the day before. Despite the work with the physio, I think he sees discharge coming a little bit closer, and that is motivating him at last. Its a big psychological barrier to get over, and now he's done it, I think he's progress much more quickly. The positive sign last night was that he and Matthew had a little "debate" over which DVD they'd watch during the visit. Matthew had been fantastic with Daniel this week, and has been so worried and caring, but to see them resume some of their normal day-to-day interaction is a move forward, and is a clear sign that Daniel is getting better.
But its been a long week for him. Inevitably there's been a lot of waiting for him. Waiting to see the doctor, waiting to have details taken, waiting to go down to theatre, waiting for medication, waiting for food. Its been difficult for him to cope with all that but I think its now starting to work as a motivator for him. If he can prove to clinical staff that he's capable of moving around, then he'll get home and the waiting will be over for him.
We've still got no idea of how he'll cope around the house and getting to school in the immediate term, but that is a worry for another day. Right now, Daniel just wants to come home, and that's something we all agree on.

Exodus Mandate was launched by E. Ray Moore in 1997. Rev. Moore is a retired Army Reserve Chaplain and veteran of Gulf War I, where he received a Bronze Star for meritorious duty. He and his wife, Gail, began homeschooling in 1977, among the first to pioneer the modern home schooling movement. As a result of Exodus Mandate and the efforts of similar organizations, an estimated 2.5 million children will be home schooling this year – and millions more will be attending Christian and private schools.
Ray Moore states, "For over 20 years, I have traveled across the country promoting the mission of the Exodus Mandate, encouraging and assisting Christian families and churches to leave the state-sponsored public school system for the promised land of K-12 Christian schools or home schooling. My hope and prayer is that a fresh obedience by churches and families in the education of their children according to biblical commands will prove to be a key for the revival and reformation of our families, churches and culture. Neither the state nor government has any God-ordained role in the education and discipleship of children, which belongs to the family and the Church."For more information, please, contact: Frontline Ministries, Inc., P.O.

a belated happy-birthday-to-me.
sadly, i am not drunk-blogging, even though it is 12.35 am, the night after my big two-three. rather, i am just starting a paper, after having been to a seminar, a workshop, and a yoga class, and after finally finishing my reading at midnight, because i spent the whole day in a state of birthday glee. i have received lots of good wishes and a mix CD, and all that makes me (a) very happy and (b) very lacking-in-concentration. so is life.
anyway, not too much left to do now (it's a SHORT paper. a SUMMARY paper.) and nothing to do until 3.30 tomorrow, so...all is well. except for the part where i wasn't around in the evening to receive birthday wishes by phone. sorry, fire boss.
maybe soon i will post something substantive. you never know. or at least, i don't.

Dear Readers
June sees the official start of the Summer season with the Solstice bringing the longest day of the year when the sun won't set until 9.24pm. For some this might not be a relevant thing but just more light for fun and socialising; but, for many others, you might well be observing the Ramadan fast. With such long hours to go without food or water, this year will be a true test of your physical endurance and spiritual strength.

SPOTSWOOD, NJ - A fever of pitch of anticipation is in the air and it isn't just for the fast approaching holiday season. On December 18, the highly anticipated seventh installment of the Star Wars franchise will hit movie theaters. "Revenge of the Sith" was the last Star Wars movie released and that premiered in 2005. So, fans of the series have been waiting for quite some time for a new movie.
"Episode VII: The Force Awakens" is also drumming up a lot of excitement since it includes original cast members from Lucas' mega hit "Star Wars" that debuted in 1977. The first episode in the series was later renamed, "Episode IV: A New Hope."
For Star Wars fans that want to experience some pre-movie fun inspired by the upcoming movie, there are some cool area activities to choose from.
On December 10, the Spotswood High School Band will be performing a compilation of John Williams' Star Wars music at their annual Winter Concert. The performance will include a video montage from all six movies that will accompany the score. Sarah Carino-Koza, the band director for the Spotswood High School, orchestrated the large undertaking that includes students, alumni and guest muscians.
Andrew Zaborney, an instructor at Spotswood High School, put together the video component of the concert while SHS senior Tali Zacks created the movie poster to promote the free event that will take place at the Summerhill Road high school at 7 p.m. on December 10. The concert is open to the public.
Another great Star Wars-inspired activity is the exhibit currently on display at Discovery Times Square in NYC. Fans can see costumes from all six movies as well as a sample of costumes from the upcoming film. The exhibit will be at the Manhattan museum through September of 2016.
If fans have ever wanted to pull out a light saber and duel, then check out New York Jedi. They hold weekly light saber classes in the city for people 16 years of age and older. Currently, they don't have classes for the younger set, but some may be in the works for the future.
Ripley's Believe it or Not in Times Square is another cool place to visit for Star Wars fans. They have a life-sized female Boba Fett that is made entirely out of recycled computer parts. There's also a mosaic portrait of Darth Vadar that is constructed from staples.
"Episode VII: The Force Awakens" premieres December 18. May the force be with you.

First of all, for your full-round-trip case (no production of message n+1 until triggered by result returned for message n), you need to know the network latency. So do traceroute or equivalent both ways. US->AUS and AUS->US. This gives you a hard limit on how many round-trips you can do per unit time - i.e. your maximum possible performance for that case. I suggest that it will be *way below* 100 roundtrips/sec. You could also turn on full logging: For each of your brokers, edit the log4j.properties file for debugging (as indicated in the file itself), and push the button in e.g. jconsole to reread the log4j.properties file. Mbeans tab -> org.apache.activemq -> broker_instance_name -> Broker -> Operations -> *reloadLog4jProperties * Finally, you could remove one broker at each site to help understand this. For sure, they're not helping your performance. ----- Michael Hayes B.Sc. (NUI), M.Sc.

The entry list for the Killarney Historic rally which takes place this weekend reads like a who is who of the rally world.
The 150-car field boasts several former Irish and British Champions, multiple international rally winners and a host of regional title holders.
Top seed is Northern Ireland driver Ryan Barrett, and his co-driver Diarmuid Lynch in their Ford Escort Mk2.
Barrett has never won in Kerry but is a British Historic Rally Championship front-runner and former winner of the classic section of Rally Isle of Man.
Armed with Lynch's local knowledge the pair will start as firm favourites to win the seven-stage rally.
They will not have it easy though, as behind is former Irish National Rally Champion Melvyn Evans.
The Welshman has finished third overall for the last two years and is keen to add the Killarney title his portfolio of Irish wins.
Third seed, Seamus O'Connell is no stranger to event wins at this level; he counts the Donegal Historic Rally amongst his greatest victories and has employed local man Brian Duggan to guide him around the Kerry roads.
Also amongst the leading entries in the Historic section is Steve Perez, British Rally Champion in 2010, and also British Historic Rally Champion in 2014. Perez will be driving his extremely popular Lancia Stratos rally car.
Rally legend Jimmy McRae returns to Killarney, the five-time British Rally Champion and seven-time winner of The Circuit of Ireland is looking forward to the event driving his Vauxhall Firenza Can-Am.
Irish Historic Rally Champions of 2014 and 2015, James O'Mahoney and Ernie Graham have both, entered in their Ford Escort RS1800s. Gareth Lloyd finished second to Graham in this year's Irish title race and he is another driving chasing victory.
Current Irish National and Tarmac champion Donagh Kelly is another in the impressive line-up driving his Ford Escort Mk1 and former Irish Forestry champion Owen Murphy is at the wheel of a Talbot Sunbeam Lotus.
The rally gets into gear on Friday night with a ceremonial start at 7.30pm in Killarney and the real action starts on Saturday.

Snapshot: Winter Chills
Winter Chills
The Oscar nominees were announced this week, but Hollywood has already moved into the next phase of its annual movie release calendar—the one that comes between the highbrow movies of December and the first summer blockbusters in May. Many studios are turning to tales of the dark, the creepy and the paranormal. Films like this can get a quick jolt at the box office: The low-budget exorcism film "The Devil Inside" hit the No. 1 slot on its recent opening weekend, bumping the previous top film, "Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol."

As a matter of fact, Kidney Disease is hard to treat because its pathogenesis is complicated. Therefore, professional hospital and doctors are essential. Here is a Chronic Glomerular Nephritis patient from Oman with ten-year proteinuria came to our hospital for Chinese treatments.
We gave her systemic Toxin-Removing Therapy, including series of Chinese treatments, such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath Therapy, Foot Bath Therapy, Enema Therapy, etc. After about 10 days' treatment, her illness condition had obvious improvement.
She said, "It is hard to go! When I arrived, Emmy told me that your patients do not like to leave and it was hard to believe it. Now I know! You changed my life! You improved my movement (a lot!), the function of kidneys goes unbelievably well, but the most important, I think: you opened my mind!!! I will talk to everybody about the Chinese Culture, the Chinese Medicine, your hospital, you personally: my doctors, my nurses, my translators, my FRIENDS……"
At the last, she thanked for making her happy, thanked for making her healthy, and thanked for teaching her.
Frankly speaking, as medical person, we are willing to help the patients who suffer from Kidney Diseases. It is our duty to help them.

Starting this month and continuing through the fall, the mall events will showcase-via actual cars and Plymouth Place computer kiosks-four Plymouth vehicles: Neon, Breeze, Voyager and the new Prowler.
The promotional events, hosted by Vogue, Allure, Mademoiselle, GQ, Details, Glamour, Self and Vanity Fair, will in some cases invite pre-qualified subscribers of the magazines to attend, said Catherine Viscardi Johnston, senior VP-group sales and marketing, Conde Nast.
In return, Chrysler will run about 40% more ad pages in Conde Nast publications this year than it did in 1996.
"We carried 82 pages from Plymouth last year, and this year we'll carry 115," said Ms. Johnston.
Plymouth Place, a promotional program using computer kiosks, now has 108 malls in 57 markets nationwide. Consumers can pick from a list of models, colors and optional features and then print out those specifications, an estimated price and the location of the nearest dealership.
The Conde Nast events will showcase '97 and, this fall, '98 models of the Neon, Breeze and Voyager. The Prowler, going on sale early this summer, will begin appearing at events when models are available, said Susan Thomson, Chrysler Plymouth national advertising executive.
Plymouth credits the kiosks with encouraging more young women, a key customer target for Breeze and Neon, to visit its dealerships.
"Women particularly like it because they have a lot of preconceived notions about walking into a dealership, and this lets them look at the car without having to deal with any of that," Ms. Thomson said.
The partnership with Conde Nast "just made sense when you looked at the demographics," she added.
The program doesn't only target women, though, which is why Conde Nast's men's titles, GQ and Details, are also participating.
Cities where the mall events are being held include Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Philadelphia, Houston, Denver and Cincinnati.

Windows renovation
If you want your windows to work properly and look nicely for long years, you should check their condition regularly. Proper care and maintenance of wooden windows and window frames would result in outstanding appearance of our house.
Next couple of easy tips will help to keep them in good condition and make them last a lifetime.
Before you start windows renovation, you should clean them up thoroughly and remove old paint. Windows frames painting can be easier when you take out handle. Another step should be to stick masking tape close to window frame. Masking tape will be a protection from dirt and any other damages. After this, you should remove old paint from window frame using a flat edged scrapper.
When the window frame is pre-cleaned, use chemical solvent for the rest of the old paint removal. After a short period of time, softened coating can be removed very easy. Next step is surface smoothing, in this case use a stearated sandpaper.
The last step is painting. First, when the wood is clean and dry, use primer. Wait until primer will dry and again smooth out the surface (use a sandpaper). Properly clean frame from the dust and paint it with proper wood paint.

Baseball lost a titan and true pioneer of the game this week with the death of Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra. No I'm not talking about the lovable bear. The legendary Yankee won a whopping 10 World Series for the prestigious New York Yankees and really made the franchise the stable powerhouse that it is alongside Joe DiMaggio. I have no doubt that the city of New York will immortalize the man who brought so much to the plate, field, and life.

The Forgotten Face of Evil: Gary Glitter, The Stadium Icon
The feeling of watching a live game in a stadium is unlike any other feeling, the screaming fans, the cold beer, and of course, that good ol' fashion stadium music. A great Rock and Roll anthem can really get your blood pumping, this is why songs like "Eye of the Tiger" and "We will Rock You" are instant classics in the hearts of many football fans across America. However one could easily argue that the biggest song in the history of stadium music is "Rock and Roll part 2" a song written by Gary Glitter, an infamous rock star who topped the charts in the 1970's.
Chances are if you ever purchased tickets to a live event, or even watched enough games on television then you have probably heard that song before. Those legendary guitar strings and powerful drum kicks can flood any stadium with pandemonium. Unfortunately the man behind this song is probably the most evil man you never heard of.
Over the course of his career Gary Glitter has been connected to numerous pedophile charges against under aged boys and girls in several different countries.

The Hunt For October
With only roughly 12 games left for all teams in Major League Baseball the games become more and more crucial. Certain teams have already punched their tickets into the postseason but some teams are still jockeying for those wild card spots and the coveted division title (pennant) which always insures a franchise a chance to get to the Fall Classic. A power shift is occurring as the fabled Yankees, and last year's champs, The Boston Red Sox are out of playoff contention. The Yankees are only 5 games behind the Kansas City Royals but with 12 games they will have to go on quite a tear and pray for some help. Rest assured that drastic changes will be forthcoming for both teams. Continue reading The Hunt For October

When Tour de France champion Alberto Contador received a one-year ban, I said that the ban was unjust as it seem more like a mistake than cheating. Contador tested positive for the banned drug clenbuterol at an amount that is 400 times below what is needed for him to get an advantage from it.
Most experts agree that he would not have gained any advantage but even then, he was ban from cycling for 1 year. Now the Spanish cycling federation has reverse the ban. Some would call this national pride as Contador is a Spaniard, but that doesn't change the fact it was the right decision.
Now I can't say for sure Contador didn't take drugs (this is cycling after all) but if you are going to ban someone, you should have strong evidence that the man was cheating. This was not the case with Contador. So in the end, common sense prevailed.

The Values We Hold at naus Waste Intelligence
The naus Waste Intelligence platform is the result of over 12 years' experience working alongside and in collaboration with many different waste industry leaders in different markets, sharing the same challenges. While we are a software company, we have seen firsthand the need to solve the word's waste problem and are passionate about finding the right solution to assist, enable and empower waste experts.
All our partners have brought their unique perspectives to global waste management. But one thing unites us: a passionate belief that we need to solve one of the most important issues facing the human race in the 21st century.
This passion is highly contagious. The more experienced in waste management you become, the more you realise that at a fundamental level it's everybody's problem.
And that's when you become passionate, too.
Technology has let the waste industry down, but not for any longer.
The global waste industry has been poorly served by technology to date. Too often, software for waste has focused on performing a function instead of finding a solution. Orthodox waste management systems, developed last century, have failed to address waste's growth as an existential threat to the world we live in.
Technology is an enabler of progress and an amplifier of efficiency. We believe that any industry – as a living organism – must evolve to ensure its long-term sustainability and relevance.
If you change nothing, nothing will change. We are committed to building innovative solutions that result in the transformation of the waste industry.
Change is what's required, and we put ourselves in the middle of the change we seek.
We believe great products are driven by purpose, not just profit…
James Rouse said, "Profit is not the legitimate purpose of business. The legitimate purpose of business is to provide a product or service that people need and do it so well that it's profitable."
At naus our product design is guided by what provides the greatest capacity for creating efficiencies. We believe that an intuitive, easy to use customer interface is just as important as the function a product performs.
Waste management is a complicated business. The solution doesn't need to be.
To create new product features that add real value, we partner with the best collaborators … you.
We are focused on providing the best user experience possible. In the design of every feature, our priority is that it will work for YOU and let you work smarter without making things harder.
We actively seek customer insights with our Early Adopter Program, Beta Program and User Groups. naus users collaborate with us on creating helpful new features or improving existing ones.
We bring together a global network of professionals who are absolutely committed towards best practice in waste management and waste strategy and we are unapologetic about leaving dated practices behind.
We embrace collaboration with experts in their field
At naus we collaborate extensively and partner with leading organisations to better understand industry challenges. We recognise that users of our technology have industry expertise in their own right. Our role is not to build expertise – it is to enable experts to excel; to build leading technology that enables our customers to achieve their objectives.
We work hard to implement best practice solutions that are unbiased and independent of any agenda. We are building solutions that serve the continuing needs of the global waste industry, which supersede short-term fads and local biases, because our primary goal is to enable you to augment your expertise and expand the reach of your services.
We are committed to authenticity and integrity
Authenticity is being real for all your stakeholders, not just your customers. It's the natural result of reliability combined with integrity.
We seek to be authentic, both in the way we interact with you and how we provide our services – in terms of what we ask and what we give in return. We want to be uncomplicated in the way we work with you.
That's why authenticity is important to us. We strive to do what we say, and say what we do. Our platform operates in the same way as our people – openly and transparently.

Holloway retrial set for July
A former Hoyt resident whose November trial in Jackson County District Court on child sex charges ended in a hung jury is facing a new trial on the same charges — with other charges possibly to be included — to be held in district court this summer.
District Court Judge Norbert Marek set a five-day retrial in the case of Leon Holloway, 52, currently a resident of Onaga, on charges of rape, indecent liberties with a child and two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy for the week of July 16. The charges stemmed from alleged incidents that reportedly happened between April of 2012 and March of 2015.
Marek delayed action on a motion filed by Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller to consolidate the case, which was filed in May of 2015, with another case filed in October of 2017 involving child pornography possession charges against Holloway, on the grounds that Topeka-based defense attorney Matt Williams could file a motion for "severance" of the two cases.

In today's day and age dating has become a relentless game of cat and mouse, heartache and pointless flings. People try to evaluate the person too quickly instead of actually getting to know them as a whole. It has really become like the actual dating game, you pick from a few people get to know one or too things about them and bam! You're in the relationship and just as fast as it started it ends and you're prowling the streets for the next "contestant".
Why does dating have to be so usless and yet so complicated now a days?
Recently I have been seeing a lot of my takes about, "the rules of dating" or "guidelines for a first date" but why are there rules in the first place? Isn't dating supose to be fun? Why can't people get to know eachother on their own terms and not what other people think it should be.
For example the typical first date is Dinner and/or a movie, which ends with the guy paying for some reason and a possible second date if you're lucky.
I see two things wrong with this, one why do people automatically assume the guy should pay? and why do guys assume us women want them to pay, i know i certanly do not and would not let the guy pay for me. and two why does the first date have to follow specific guidlines, why not just hang out, go to the park, somthing free yet enjoyable. The point of a first date is to get to know the person, and that's pretty hard to do during a movie in my opinon.
Another point I've seen people make is about how it is so hard to find someone now a days.
I'd have to agree with this, and it's not because there are not good people out there but more because people are lazy like i stated before. No one wants to take time anymore you either sleep with the person or find "the one" within a few dates and if not they're on to the next person. I understand sometimes you just don't have the connection with someone, or you're not looking for anything long term and there's nothing wrong with that. But when you find someone who you have a good connection with, don't rush anything. Don't try to get married on the second date or sleep with them on the first some of this takes lots of time, in the end it's worth it.
I just don't understand some peoples mind sets anymore some people hop from person to person, others do it to look desierable or cool. But really you're just waisting the amazing free time you have when you're single! Don't just jump into dating someone because they want to or any other selfish reason do it because you're generally interested in taking the time to get to know that specific person. Also don't go around thinking you're to good for anyone.
Just enjoy dating, without all the rules and without leading people on. a date is a date nothimg more relax and just be yourself.

Bolivar Man Sentenced To A Total Of 513 Months In Prison For Production And Possession Of Child Pornography And Gun Charges
Jackson, TN – John McKinney, 71, of Bolivar, TN was sentenced yesterday to a total of 480 months in federal prison, following his September conviction on four counts of producing child pornography, and one count of possession of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Edward L. Stanton III.
Chief U.S. District Judge J. Daniel Breen sentenced McKinney to 360 months in prison for each production charge, with the sentences set to run concurrently. Judge Breen further sentenced McKinney to 120 months in prison for the possession charge, with the sentence set to run consecutive to the other sentences. There is no parole in the federal prison system.
"Today's sentence of 480 months reflects this community's intolerance for the predatory acts committed by John McKinney," said U.S. Attorney Stanton. "We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to relentlessly pursue anyone who commits such heinous crimes and ensure that they face the full consequences of the law.
According to facts revealed during the trial, McKinney took sexually explicit pictures of girls as young as nine years old while the girls were visiting at his home. According to the sworn testimony of the mother of one victim, her younger daughter saw sexually explicit photos on McKinney's computer. Investigators confiscated more than 87 CDs from a building on McKinney's farm that contained pictures that he had taken depicting child pornography.
On June 25, 2013, McKinney was convicted by a federal jury of four counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm or ammunition. The guns and ammunition were discovered during the search of his home that revealed the pornographic photos. On September 27, 2013, Judge Breen sentenced McKinney to 33 months in prison on those charges. That sentence will run consecutive to his other sentences.
This case was investigated by the Hardeman County Sheriff's Office, the Jackson Police Department and the FBI in Jackson. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Deb Ireland and James Powell represented the government.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a nationwide initiative of the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, PSC marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

For my 30th birthday Andrew organised an amazing getaway down south complete with amazing restaurants, winery visits, and a stay a the King's Cottage at the Cape Howe Cottages. He also managed to squeeze in climbing a mountain, which I was a little bit nervous about because I'm generally scared of the outdoors and nature.
1st December, Cape Lodge
I'm so glad I took the morning off of work because I really felt like I was on holiday straight away. I went for a run, stopped into Bunnings to pick up windscreen washer, and put up the Christmas tree. Andrew is flat out at work so had to go in, but we still managed to leave Perth at around 3pm.
After a long drive down (well, long by my standards, Andrew thinks is a short stroll) we arrived at the picturesque Cape Lodge. We stayed in a lovely little cottage with beautiful views of the garden and lake. After arriving and having our welcome truffles (which I actually liked!) and filtered rain water, we got ready to walk over to the restaurant.
The restaurant was a beautiful room overlooking the lake, and we even managed to catch the multi coloured sunset. The meal was one of the best I've ever had, with the only two others we could think of that even came close being Wildflower, and Aria (in Sydney). I normally don't take photos of food but couldn't resist this time; it was all so beautifully presented. I can't wait to show my parents to see what they think, I even ate roe!
The pick for me was the risotto, Andrew's favourite was the quail. Andrew chose a Cullen wine that was also the best wine I've ever had. He only later told me later that it was also the most expensive bottle I've ever had!
2nd December: Leaving Cape Lodge, Woody Nook, Vasse Felix, Sunflowers Animal Farm
Still full from dinner, we managed to fit in a delicious breakfast at the Cape Lodge restaurant while watching a couple of parent ducks teach two little ducklings to duck dive, it was so cute! The parent duck would go under, then the little ducks would panic and when the parent duck finally popped up they'd zoom over to parent for safety, probably feeling lucky to be alive. They got the hang of it by the end and were going down and popping up way later a long way away from where they dove.
We walked off breakfast with a walk around the grounds, and saw their garden where they grow a lot of the things used in the dishes at the restaurant, including artichoke which I'd never seen growing before (it's an impressive alien looking plant that reminded me of that thing that grew in my parent's yard a few years back).
Our next two stops were a couple of wineries, Woody Nook then lunch at Vasse Felix. Both beautiful grounds in their own way and we had perfect weather to enjoy them. We've stocked our wine shelf with a few great bottles from each place. After lunch (and buying a few bottles from Vasse Felix) we walked through the art gallery below the restaurant. Most of the paintings were just a bunch of lines, but they were very pretty lines I guess.
The Sunflowers Animal Farm was our next bitter sweet stop. Emma recommended this place to us mostly because it had what she described as a bunny dome, which sounded like a magical place much to my own heart. Unfortunately the farm had been hit by the khaleesi virus a few weeks back and they had lost every single bunny except for one that had been handed in by an owner who couldn't look after her anymore. I hugged that bunny for a good 20minutes and she hugged me right back, it was quite emotional.
I also got to feed Wendy the joey! It was amazing, she held my hand and looked into my eyes while drinking gingerly. All the other animals seemed to go nuts for food, but you really have to convince a joey to drink it's milk which is kind of endearing.
Much to Andrew's horror we witnessed another one of those special animal moments that make us lose faith a little bit. After the children bottle fed the calves, the calves decided they hadn't had enough and proceeded to try and drink each other's "milk", but they were all male cows. What resulted was an awful calf threesome that has earned it's place in the list of animal horrors we've witnessed (right up there with the giraffe flemen incident, and the monkey butt fingering incident).
We also met a very strange cockatoo that hated men and loved women. He would say "wanna cuddle?" or "I've been a good boy" as his war cry as he ran to attack Andrew.
We also met a very strange cockatoo that hated men and loved women. He would say "wanna cuddle?" or "I've been a good boy" as his war cry as he ran to attack Andrew.
Then came the long drive to Cape Howe which honestly was terrifying. We passed by so many kangaroos on the side of the road and almost hit a joey. I was so relieved when we finally got to the Kings Den! I'm so scared of night time country driving.
3rd December: Cape Howe, Greens Pool, The Lake House
The Kings Den is as amazing as we remembered it, just so peaceful and romantic. Look at the beautiful breakfast pack the owners put together for us.
Greens Pool was absolutely stunning, I even waded in the water a little bit. The rocks were so easy to walk on; I usually get a bit scared at intrepid walks (Andrew probably wishes he never taught me that word) but these rocks were so easy and grippy to walk on that it was a pleasure to explore and see the gorgeous views, lizards, and even a manta ray.
The Lake House for lunch was really cosy, especially since it started raining.
After picking up some gluten free bread from the Denmark Bakery we headed back to make the most of the Kings Den.
4th December: Denmark and the Kings Den
This was our most lazy day. We slept in, had an amazing cooked breakfast, went to Howard Park and Madfish Winery, The Black Pig Cydery, stopped in Denmark for lunch, then enjoyed the rest of the day relaxing at the Kings Den.
We may have gotten carried away.
5th December: Bluff Knoll
I climbed Bluff Knoll. I can't believe I did it, and it wasn't that bad! Well, it was very challenging (and intrepid) but there were way less bugs and snakes (although way more goannas) than I thought there would be, although thank god for the Bushman's Spray which I think kept most of the flies away.
There were very different and distinct sections of the path, and although it was genuinely a path the whole way, some parts were very rocky and slippery and quite hard to navigate. My favourite parts were the bits with the actual steps even though these were the steepest. The worst bits were the parts with flat rocks (about 1/3 up near the waterfall, and towards the top).
The view from the top was like nothing I've ever seen before, and it was completely still with no wind so it was just lovely. We sat and ate an apple and a muesli bar before heading back down.
It took us about 1h 20min to climb to the top, and about the same to come down. I have to say that the way down was probably harder than the way up because you really had to choose your path more carefully.
What a perfect little trip to end the year with, thank you Andrew for a great 30th b'day present!

Hi Lars,
Nice landscape with an impressive mountains, good contrast between green grass in the Fg and the tones of the slope, tfs.
jmdias (83483) 2018-02-06 23:22
that big cloud and its texture are so evident and created a perfect background to the big mountain. nice view of these slopes of granite, the forest and the meadow in FG. beautiful corner of the park and excellent photo.
take care

Hi Lars

Clouds add flavor to this composition.
Very impressive picture!
Nice day.
holmertz (75137) 2018-02-07 2:16
Hello Lars,
It's a great view of the fields, the forest and the differently coloured mountains. Perhaps most of all I like the clouds. The fine exposure makes every part of the composition look perfect.
Kind regards,

Dag Lars
Voorlopig heb je weer het rijk alleen met onze Canada-USA trip van 2017 want ik heb net de terugvlucht vanaf Salt Lake City in beeld gebracht. Je kan nog wel even voort met al dit natuurschoon en dan komt Las Vegas er ook nog bij.
Groet Rob

Hi Lars,magnificent view another time from Yosemite,the big rock is very impressive and the mountain too is imposing,the second most high as i can read. Absolutely a perfect capture from this wild and natural place,i like it! Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano
snunney (126048) 2018-02-07 3:59
Hello Lars,
Excellent capture of this majestic landscape. I like very much the contrast between the green flat meadows and the soaring granite peaks. The depth is quite amazing. The whole is very well exposed with agreeable natural colours and very good sharpness.
abmdsudi (74724) 2018-02-07 4:14
Hi Lars
Beautiful landscape as the mountains drag the eye all the way fitting the frame nicely and loads of detail
throughout. The white clouds and green fg break through the contrast off setting the scene nicely. Well done capture.
Best wishes
lucasgalodoido (25830) 2018-02-07 5:01
Hi Lars,
beautiful landscape here, with magical colors and perfect subjects, like a paint. Great job, my friend.
pierrefonds (85595) 2018-02-07 5:23
Hi Lars,
The wideness of the meadows is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the mountains and of the meadows. The light is giving good colors output. Have a nice day.
Silvio1953 (179017) 2018-02-07 5:24
Ciao Lars, fascinating mountain landscape, wonderful natural colors, excellent clarity and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Bonjour Lars,
Quel beau paysage. Il est profond et on peut assister à plusieurs lignes horizontales bien étalées qui font le charme de l'ensemble. Beau contrôle du contre jour.
gervaso (24133) 2018-02-07 6:41
Hello, Lars!
I like the soft tones of the mountains in the background, which gives good depth to the image. And without the clouds they wouldn't stand out so beautifully like that! The colors of the foreground are wonderful, and the sharpness is perfect! Very nice job!
rychem (60295) 2018-02-07 8:06
All landscapes which you show us are simply beautiful with great details and perfect depth, I like these clouds over the tops, they look like cotton wool:)
regards Ryszard
ChrisJ (143017) 2018-02-07 8:59
Hi Lars,
A superb landscape shot from Yosemite with the overlapping mountains adding depth and layering to the composition. Good sharpness and the snow capped peak and bare granite fg hill provide focal points. The conifers add a band of dark green. Tfs!

mcmtanyel (46166) 2018-02-07 16:06
Hello Lars,
What a contrast between the green meadows and that grey, bare granite rock. I like those two mountains lined up with the clouds coming up from behind the higher one.
PiotrF (35812) 2018-02-07 16:30
Hello Lars,
A very nice landscape with beautiful mountains.
A good point of view, excellent perspective and depth.
Fine presentation
Royaldevon (57356) 2018-02-08 1:49
Hello Lars,
If you had been able to dictate the clouds for yourself, you couldn't have asked for anything better! They add the crowning glory to a very beautiful landscape.
Your composition, angling the mountains behind one another makes for a lovely, natural movement across the frame.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Lars,
spectacular this part of the sub-alpine meadow area with the granite rock formation to be the eye catching of the image.The excellent weather conditions make the image even more attractive.

Hi Lars
Un paysage grandiose, impressionnantes montagnes, l'espace vert de la vallée, le ciel est superbe, il s'ajoute a la beauté du paysage
Bonne journée
adramad (58830) 2018-02-08 7:09
Hi, Lars.
Beautiful meadow with these shades of green, magnificent perspective that shows us the forest of firs and the different tonalities of the mountains, beautiful effect of those cottony clouds that look out over the peaks.
Magnificent color, which gives great strength to the image.
Very good brightness and perfect sharpness.
Well done. I like very much.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
worldcitizen (11584) 2018-02-08 11:30
Hello Lars,
This is such a simple yet strong image. The natural beauty is amazing. I like the different layers: grass, trees, mountains, clouds. The clouds are especially interesting; they look like giant cotton balls looming over the mountains. It's interesting that some trees can actually grow on top of the stony mountains, too.
emka (129641) 2018-02-08 23:31
Hello Lars, Magnificent view of Tuolumne Meadows. Impressive rocks. Wonderful cloud over the mountains. I do not remember if you went as far as the Tioga Pass?

Hi Lars,
beautiful scene from Tuolumne Meadows. I had the pleasure to spend a night in a campground in this area.
I look at this reportage with a great sentiment.
One great photographer said once that "everything worth photographing is in California! so much true and your pictures well illustrate it.
Excellent work,
tyro (27676) 2018-02-10 4:51
Hello Lars,
An interesting and informative note and a splendid photograph to accompany it!
This is a very fine and pleasing composition with all elements nicely arranged within the frame to enhance the amazing scale of this landscape and the distant mountains. Lovely soft light, very natural colours and exquisite details and clarity.
Kind Regards,

Thursday, May 10, 2012
That time I almost cried at Joseph A Bank
All that being said, we ordered the suits from Joseph A Bank on Tuesday, and seeing as how we've been working with them for four months on picking out the suits, I thought this would be an easy task. Wrong I was. Part of our problem with the suits has been that we both had a very clear vision of what we wanted - a stone colored light-weight summer suit. When we first began looking, the summer suits weren't out yet, so we were checking in every few weeks to see what they had in stock. As our groomsmen got measured (some at this particular store), we would call in and give the store their measurements for our file so they would be on hand when we came in to order. We ended up finding the suit we wanted in stock at another store, and took pictures of the tag to take into the store we had been working with.
On Tuesday, the boy and I met on our lunch breaks to order the groomsmen suits which, given how much we had researched them and talked to the store managers, should have been a 15 minute ordeal. Once the order was going in, the salesman got to the second suit and told us that the suit we were looking at didn't come in a 36 short, but the smallest size they had was a 38 short. The boy and I exchanged looks, but quickly decided that we had no choice but to just get the size they had for our Best Man. Then, the salesman really put the icing on the cake and said, "Oh and by the way, these suits don't come in separates."
This is kind of where I started to lose it...
"What does that mean?" I asked him. "Oh, just that you don't get to pick your pant size...you just get the pants in 6 sizes lower, so if you order a 40 jacket, you get a 34 pant..." he responds. "The executive and signature suits come in separates, but the summer suits don't."
And this is where I actually did lose it...
"Are you kidding me?? We have been working with you all for months, only looking at the summer blends in suits. You have 5 different suit options written in our file, and all of them are summer suits. Why is this the first time we are hearing about this??!!"
"Ummm...I'm sorry....uhhh..."
"No, this is ridiculous! We have been back and forth with our groomsmen, shuffling them in stores to get their sizes, collecting money from them, which we have clearly misled them about since they will all have to get extra alterations on their suits now." All the while the boy is standing silent looking at the both of us with a look of helpless bewilderment. "Well I guess just order the suits however they come! I mean, we HAVE to have suits!"
Then I looked at K and just said "I am so pissed!" The salesman kept mumbling about how he was sorry and he should have told us, and then said he would see what he could do about the cost. At that moment I could feel my eyes wanting to well up and steam coming out of my ears and nose. Before I opened my mouth again and singed him with fire, I decided I needed to go look at ties and kept repeating to myself, Don't cry at the suit store, don't cry at the suit store....
By the time I got back to the register, the salesman was totalling everything up and turned his screen around so we could see the final order. Then he told us that they would all ship out from different locations and pointed out the estimated ship date for each suit...JUNE 15th!!!! Despite being told that suits typically come in within 7-10 business days, we were looking at over a month! I just looked at the guy and said, "June 15??" That's 3 weeks before the wedding, and they still have to get altered??? That is unacceptable. Am I right? After pretty much reading him the riot act again, the salesman got on the phone with God knows who to find out if they could ship out any sooner. The salesman assured me that they suits would be done in time for the wedding, and ended up giving us $20 of each suit (which we are giving back to the groomsmen since they have to have additional alterations).
While I am glad that they did something about the suit price, I am still frustrated that we have to jump through additional hoops to get the suits where we need them...just not something I needed at this point in the planning process. Next week we will likely be ordering our wedding bands, so please pray that it goes smoother than the suit ordeal...God knows it will be more expensive.
All that said, my dear friend Miranda did make me feel loads better later that same day when she dropped in on me at work to drop of my bridesmaid dress for her wedding (which is on Saturday!) fresh from alterations. I recounted the suit buying experience to her, and she responded with, "Oh that's nothing! I cussed out the lady at Kinko's last night because I couldn't pull up my yahoo mail on their computers to print out the seating charts." Ahhh....perspective....
So with all that said, I am gearing up for full-on bridesmaid/bff duty this weekend and lots of fun memories too. I promise to take pictures and give a full recounting of her wedding, which I know will be stunning!
Last but not least, I leave you with this lovely picture of my future husband from his bachelor weekend at the Ky Derby....this is him in the infield wearing a purple and lavender sombrero, with a bottle of whisky and a ball in chain with my name on it around his wrist. Good times.

Ooh gosh it all sounds so overwhelming. My go to for any problem is to cry it out and then deal I probably would have had to walk out for 10 mins and come back before I could have dealt with that salesperson! I hope it all works out just right ;)

First I laughed out loud at the ball and chain! Ha!
I am so sorry about the suits. Hopefully everything will work out with them. Isn't it strange how planning a wedding can make you lose all control over your emotions? I definitely cried at the jewelry store when Corey and I went to pick out his wedding band. And let's not even get started on the breakdown I had when I learned my newly engaged sorority sister planned her wedding for the same day! It'll all work out, I'm sure. I can't believe its so soon - I remember reading when you just got engaged. It'll be here before you know it and all the stress will be over!
