October 31, 2017 - My sister's first husband was a
barber, operating the Sanitary Barber Shop in San Augustine, Texas in the early
1950s. Robert Crosby was a good barber, with a good clientele, but he had an
He was bitten by the "law enforcement" bug. My sister,
Evelyn, was not all too happy with Robert's decision to sell his barber shop
and enter state trooper school in Austin, Texas. However, soon after his
application for the school was accepted, he was on his way to camp Mabry in
Austin for several months of intense training.
Upon graduation Robert was assigned to Humble, Texas on
November 29, 1953. His Captain was Glen Rose whose headquarters was in Houston,
Texas. Effective December 1, 1953, Robert's salary was $296 per month.
His assignment letter was signed by W. J. Elliott, Chief,
Texas Highway Patrol. Robert's partner was Doyce Doolin, and they were assigned
to patrol from Humble, Texas north to Cleveland, Texas.
It seemed that Robert's dream had finally come true. He
and Evelyn rented a small house in Humble and moved to his new assignment. It
was during the move to Humble that Robert met his new partner quite by
accident. Robert was driving an old flat bed truck with their meager belongings
tied on, and he stopped in Cleveland, Texas to eat breakfast.
Not wanting to leave his revolver in an unlocked truck,
he stuck it in his belt and entered the café. All eyes went straight to the gun
as he entered and sat down at a booth. Within a few minutes, two state troopers
entered, walked straight to Robert, and each grabbed an arm. It appeared that
he was in deep trouble, however after showing the officers his badge and new
identification, they all walked outside and got acquainted. Robert was to spend
the next year with his new partner.
I was a 19 year old college student during this time.
Occasionally I would drive the 150 mile trip to Humble and spend the weekend
with Robert and Evelyn. In 1954 there were no formal regulations concerning
citizens riding along with the state troopers, so I usually spent a couple of
nights riding in the back seat of the patrol car watching the lawmen in action.
I, too, was smitten by the "law enforcement" bug by this time.
In November of 1954, I had made plans to spend the
weekend with Robert and Evelyn on Saturday night, November 27th and the 28th, a
Sunday. My plans were to ride with the troopers Saturday night once again. As
it turned out, I overslept on that Saturday morning. I decided it was too late
to drive to Humble, so changed my plans to another weekend. I could not have
realized at the time that the decision probably saved my life.
My parents got the call after midnight Saturday, a
telephone call from my great uncle who lived in Houston reporting the news that
Robert had been shot, and his partner wounded. Robert was in Jeff Davis
hospital in bad condition. We immediately threw a few things together and sped
off to Humble.
My sister had baked Robert his favorite pie, apple, and carefully
placed it on the kitchen table. He would want a slice of pie when he came home
that night from work. She was unaware of the drama unfolding several miles away
on McCarty drive in Houston. Her neighbor owned a wrecker service and
constantly monitored the police channels. She was listening to the chatter
about the state troopers being shot, and that one had been rushed to a
hospital. Eventually a name was mentioned on the air of the trooper who had
died as a result. Shocked that it was Robert, she pondered what she should do.
She called Evelyn just to chat, but really to find out if she was aware of
anything going on. She was not.
About that time, she saw a state vehicle pull up to
Evelyn's modest house, and two men exit. They broke the news to my sister, and
offered to drive her to Jeff Davis hospital. Robert had already died from
severe shotgun wounds by the time she arrived.
Details of the shooting were sketchy. We learned that two
brothers, Merle and Archie Ellisor, had borrowed a car from a relative, and had
gone on a crime spree that evening. After an armed robbery of a motel on
highway 90, during their getaway, they encountered a Harris County deputy
sheriff, Jimmy Scarborough, riding to work on his motorcycle.
After some erratic driving, the deputy pulled over the
vehicle only to be shot in the upper right arm by the driver of the vehicle,
Scarborough responded by emptying his .45 pistol at the
rear of the car which sped away. One bullet shattered the rear glass of the
Chevrolet, but it kept going.
One of his
bullets had found a human target… the driver had been hit in the upper back,
but it was not a serious wound.
Communications were not very good during the 1950s,
especially between different departments. The city of Houston had different
radio channels than the Sheriff Department. The State Patrol had their own
radio frequency as well. Any communication between these three departments was
snail slow at best. This deficiency played an important role in the events of
that night.
Unaware of the motel robbery, and the shooting of the
Deputy Sheriff, Robert and his partner met this vehicle on McCarty drive. It
was driving recklessly in an attempt to flee the scene. The troopers turned
around on the vehicle and gave chase. It was a short chase as the driver
attempted to make a right turn into a dirt road, but hit an embankment instead.
The car came to an abrupt halt with the patrol car directly behind.
Suddenly the night was shattered by gun fire. The
occupants of the 1946 Chevrolet shot a rifle and shotgun into the windshield of
the patrol car. Buckshot hit Robert in the face and he fell over the steering
wheel unconscious. Trooper Doolin was grazed on his left cheek, but suffered no
other injuries. The three men exchanged gunfire for a few seconds until the two
suspects managed to escape into the darkness. Doolin turned to check on his
partner even as a passing physician stopped to render first aid to Robert. This
was in the days prior to Paramedics and EMTs, and ambulance operators usually
used the "scoop and run" method on seriously injured patients. The doctor rode
in the ambulance with Robert, doing what he could to stem the bleeding.
By the time my sister arrived at Jeff Davis hospital,
Robert had already died. She was not allowed to see him, and was given a
sedative and placed in the same room in which her husband had died minutes
before. In the mean time, a search for the shooters had begun, led by Texas
Ranger Johnny Klevenhagen and Harris County Sheriff Buster Kern. The next Wednesday,
Merle Ellisor was captured near the ship channel after reports of several tug
boats being burglarized of food and clothing. The younger brother, Archie
Ellisor was captured Tuesday while holed up in a room in Keller's Tourist Court
in Liberty, Texas. The search was over, the brothers in custody, and the search
for answers had begun.
Merle Ellisor readily admitted shooting the three
officers, absolving his younger brother, Archie, of any involvement. Merle said
that he first shot deputy Scarborough because, "I had a car load of stolen
I was out on parole, you know, and I could not let him
get near the car and see those guns. I guess I was just drunked up and crazy."
Although Merle stated that Archie never fired a gun, that story was unlikely as
the patrol car had been hit by buckshot as well as rifle bullets. It would have
been quite a feat for Merle to shoot both weapons at the same time. However, no
charges were ever filed against Archie for this crime.
In January of 1955, Merle Ellisor went on trial for the
murder of Highway Patrolman Robert Crosby in District Judge Ed Duggan's court
in Houston. A jury deliberated only twenty minutes before returning the death
penalty verdict. Merle, who had said he wanted to go to the electric chair for
the crime, got his wish. However, Merle's mother vowed, "The fight has just
begun. We're not going to give up hope." Thus began a series of harassing
letters, phone calls, and attempted personal meetings with my sister from his
family. Apparently they felt that if the victim's wife would ask the death
penalty be changed, then an appeals judge might change his penalty to life
imprisonment. However, this activity proved fruitless. Troopers stationed in
Nacogdoches, Lufkin, and Center, Texas vowed to Evelyn that she should call
them if she felt threatened in any way by Merle's family. They vowed to "…see
who could get to San Augustine the fastest". She never had to call them as the
harassment finally ceased.
Merle Wayne Ellisor was put to death in the electric
chair in Huntsville, Texas, as a result of his crime. My sister's only public
comment was that she was "…glad that the system worked, and justice was
As Paul Harvey says, there is always "the rest of the
story" that is seldom known. So, this is the rest of the story. Robert was
buried in the Liberty Hill cemetery in San Augustine after one of the largest
funeral services ever seen in this small town. Col. Homer Garrison headed a
group of 57 State Troopers, Houston Police Officers, and Sheriffs from all over
the region as they formed an honor guard along the route from the funeral home
to the cemetery. It was estimated that almost 100 police cars and motorcycles
headed the procession, a sight seldom seen before nor since in San Augustine.
Evelyn moved back to San Augustine, and added a room to
her parents home with some of the life insurance monies from the state.
She lived there for several years until her second
marriage in 1959.
Then she relocated to Lufkin, Texas with her new husband.
One child, a daughter was born to them in 1960. This daughter died of breast
cancer at the age of 37 in 1997. Evelyn died suddenly of a massive heart attack
on December 7, 2002. She was buried in the Liberty Hill Cemetery beside her
first husband, Robert, the trooper. Her second husband, Ray, died of congestive
heart failure in 2005, thus ending the saga of her life which began with the
tragic shooting death of her first husband on November 27, 1954. Only one
granddaughter, Callie, remains of her family. Her dad is a border patrol agent
in Laredo, Texas at this time.

Kerala Youth Congress'leadership refuses to learn its lessons
3 Kerala Youth Congress Workers Suspended Over Slaughtering An Ox In Public
Three Kerala Youth Congress workers suspended for slaughtering
Three Kerala Youth Congress workers suspended for slaughtering
The enthusiastic members of the Kerala Youth Congress probably thought it would be a striking idea to register protest against the recent Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) order to ban sale and purchase of cattle for slaughter from live animal markets.
Clad in crisp white lungi and white shirt, they held the Congress flag in their hands and loaded themselves and a calf in a small truck, to slaughter the animal in broad daylight, in full public view. It was probably their version of a civil disobedience movement or some kind of beef party as organised by Engineer Rashid in Kashmir, the difference being the Congress workers in Kerala did not cook it, but distributed the raw meat free.
Youth Congress leaders didn't fully realise the implications of their act. Congress' strongest leader, Rahul Gandhi's grandmother Indira Gandhi, had chosen cow and calf symbol after the party split into Congress (O) and Congress (R) in the months following her elevation to the leadership position. The party's original symbol 'pair of bullocks carrying a yoke' went to Congress (O), Congress (R), headed by Indira, chose 'cow and calf' (Gai-bachra) as its symbol in 1969. Indira with the symbol and the 'garibi hatao' (remove poverty) slogan swept the 1971 polls.
During Emergency in 1975 and post-Emergency in 1977, Congress' cow and calf symbol was ridiculed with Indira being projected as the cow and Sanjay Gandhi as calf. The Congress split again in 1977 with senior leaders like Jagjivan Ram leaving the party, forcing Indira to rename the party as Congress (I) and opt for a new 'hand' symbol.
Though it has been close to 40 years since the time Congress abandoned the cow-calf symbol, now the same taunt is being hurled at Sonia and Rahul.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Rahul or his office promptly took to twitter condemning the incident in the strongest possible terms: "What happened in Kerala yesterday is thoughtless, barbaric& completely unacceptable to me &the Congress Party. I strongly condemn the incident."

The Heroine of Havisham Hall - Part 17
When Pamela Quinn was finished in the bathroom, Jack thought this ordeal might be over, but no, it began all over again with Melissa Franklin. If anything this was even worse for Jack, for Melissa decided to provide added amusement by conducting a constant teasing dialogue. While she lay relaxing in the bath, she asked him the most embarrassing questions she could think of.
"So, Betsy" Miss Franklin would ask, "what's it like for a boy like you to become a sweet little maid? Was this the job you were hoping for, when I first met you in the street with your auntie? Are you enjoying the work? You are very good at it, and very pretty, don't you think?"
On and on she went, and Jack was obliged to respond "Yes My Lady, of course My Lady" to every question and to keep curtseying all the time. He then had to help Miss Franklin out of the bath, dab her dry with another warm fluffy towel, hand her bath robe to her, and curtsey once more as she solemnly announced that she was now going to rest on her bed for a while so that she would have the energy to dress for dinner.
At this point, to Jack's great relief, Miss Quinn - now seated at the dressing-table where she was admiring herself in the mirror - glanced over her shoulder and casually dismissed Jack: "Maid, either Miss Franklin or I will send for you when we require you next. I think we'll need some help with our new gowns in a little while, won't we Mel?" And Melissa Franklin yawned and replied "Yes, I certainly will, I'm beginning to think it will take me all evening to get into this Dior creation...."
But Jack didn't wait to hear any more. Seizing upon Miss Quinn's invitation to escape, he had already curtseyed and, with a prompt but courteous "Very well, My Lady" was straight out the door.
As he made his way back to Annabelle's room to complete the packing of his belongings, ready for his move later that evening, Jack wondered to himself how soon those two arrogant girls would ring for him again. He had visions of them fetching him straight back, and then having him run backwards and forwards between his room and theirs until they were ready to present themselves for dinner. But a pleasant surprise awaited him when he reached Annabelle's room, for on his bed he found a scribbled note:
"Dear Betsy. Madam asked me to take all your things to your new room for you, so I've done that. She also asked me to tell you to stop attending upon guests in their rooms now, as she has some jobs she needs you for. She said they're old enough to dress themselves!! You lucky thing Betsy, your new bedroom looks a lovely room, and it sounds to me like you'll just be working for Madam from now on! Good luck! Must go now, Karen needs me to help lay up the table in the dining-room and it's going to take us ages. See you later, Love A x"
Jack literally jumped for joy! He hurriedly wrote a short thank-you to Annabelle, closed the door and skipped along the corridor and up the stairs to his new room.
* * * *
To enter his new bedroom, Jack was required to knock first on Miss Havisham's own bedroom door, wait for Madam to answer it, enter the room, drop the obligatory curtsey and await her invitation to pass through her bedroom into his own. This, he immediately realized, was going to be a regular ritual from now on. But he consoled himself with the thought that he would be under Miss Havisham's protection - and hopefully would now enjoy a closer and more intimate relationship with Madam. The rigmarole required to gain entry to his bedroom was a small price to pay for the safe, secure feeling which this arrangement would give him. Besides, he was now so relieved to be free, not only from the fierce discipline of Miss Craftey, but also, at least for the time being, from the cruel psychological bullying he was suffering at the hands of Miss Quinn and Miss Franklin.
Jack felt quite suddenly that he had arrived in a sort of haven, some kind of paradise even, compared with where he had been these past few weeks. As Madam opened her door to let him come through her room, he completely forgot the curtseying and instead fell into her arms, crying as he tried to thank her for what she was now offering him.
"Oh thank you Madam" Jack sobbed. "I'm so pleased to be of service to you. I hope I'll be allowed to serve you for ever Madam. Please tell me what you want, Madam, I'll do everything I can for you."
* * * *
For her part Gloria Havisham was thrilled to have finally made the decision to engage "Elizabeth" as her ladies' maid. She had known all along that this was what she wanted, ever since she first met Jack at Emily Quinn's little tea party, but what particularly thrilled her now was the look of sheer delight apparent behind the tears of pleasure on Jack's face. Now here he was, this most perfect of little girly boys, throwing his arms around her neck as she welcomed him into her own embrace.
There was a moment or two of further quiet sobbing while they caressed one another, then Miss Havisham spoke gently to her new personal ladies' maid: "Now now, my little love... It's your birthday today and I told you there would be a special present for you didn't I? Well this is it, my beautiful, and I know how much you will enjoy working for me...." Madam paused again for a moment then went on, slightly hesitantly "You will work for me, for always, I mean? Not for anyone else, please.... I know you'll be very good indeed as my maid...." And then, after another brief pause, "Now come along, there's lots to do - and I haven't even dressed for dinner yet. You're going to have to help me Elizabeth. Now tell me please, which of these three dresses do you think would be best for tonight...?"
* * * *
Sixty minutes later, thanks to Jack's natural flair as a ladies' maid - not only in helping Madam to select the right dress, but also in constantly reassuring her how wonderful she was looking - Gloria Havisham was in sparkling form downstairs receiving all her guests. She was so pleased that Elizabeth had encouraged her to go for the gold lame mermaid-style dress, which she felt helped her to stand out as the hostess amongst the stunning array of top designer outfits worn by her guests. And how sensible to opt for the plain gold necklace and the simple gold and pearl ear-rings, as Elizabeth had suggested. As she led the party through to the dining-room to take their places for dinner she winked at Jack, who by now was positioned against the wall and responded, as he and Annabelle had both been instructed by Agnes, with a neat little curtsey to Madam and a soft "Good evening, My Lady" to each of the guests.
As the dinner guests passed before him, Jack noticed a variety of expressions on their faces. Lady Lavinia and Dame Olivia both seemed to be quite impressed and smiled benevolently at him as they passed by. Several of the other guests, including both Mrs Quinn and her sister Mrs Davies, and also Mrs Franklin, simply ignored him. Jack had been warned, long ago, that as a humble maid he should not expect to be treated any differently from a piece of furniture. Nevertheless it was pleasing to have been acknowledged by the more distinguished guests, he thought to himself. Then in came Miss Quinn and Miss Franklin, the former scowling at him, the latter giggling - they had no doubt been annoyed to find they were no longer receiving room service. And then, worst of all, came Rose. Was he really going to have to call her mother's former maid "My Lady" all this weekend? Rose simply gave him a quick look up and down, as though to tell him he passed inspection for now, but would have a word with him later. What, Jack wondered, would Rose - er sorry, Miss Wilson - be wanting to say to him....?
(to be continued)

West Ham United defender James Collins says the playing group is not about to relax despite winning their past three matches to ease the relegation pressure.
The Hammers are unbeaten in four and now sitting in 11th spot, four points from the drop zone, but still 12 away from the 40 that usually ensures safety which Collins says they are striving for.
"The pressure is never off until you've got the sacred 40 points," he told the club's official website.
"We knew that, on Tuesday (2-0 win over Norwich City), that we'd gone into it with three good results and it would have been quite easy to think we'd done the job.
"But it was a massive game, we realised that, and to get the three points made it a big night for us."

All in all, you know what you get when you read Wodehouse. If
you expect deep thinking characters who will change the world, go
somewhere else. If you want fun and laughter, read Wodehouse.
Three Men and a Maid is a laugh-out-loud early Wodehouse novel.
As usual, young moneyed, clueless people wander through life
without having any touch with reality. (One presumes Wodehouses
young men will suddenly have some sort of epiphany and instantly
become the stiff upper lip backbone of British society and the
bubble headed young women will pull their heads out of the clouds
and put on a cardigan sweater, some extra pounds, good sturdy
shoes, and set about enforcing the rules of society which have so
long frustrated our silly young men.) In Three Men and a Maid,
young people fly into and out of love and engagements without a
second thought. In fact, the Maid in this novel, Billie Bennet, was
engaged to Eustace, Samuel, Bream, then to Samuel again in less
than a couple of weeks.
Wodehouse spins a good yarn, twisting the plot and the
characters dilemmas like a circus contortionist. This plot is
somewhat familiar: a young man falls in love at first sight, makes
convoluted plans to win her heart, plans backfire, burglars in the
country house; yet, everything turns out right in the end.
This is typical Wodehouse, which guarantees that the reader is
in for a lot of fun

Wow, it's almost Fall-I love this time of year. Soups, stews and crusty breads. Hearty muffins and winter squashes and fruits. And brown bettys or cobblers. All the comfort foods of the season.
I love the aroma of baking apples and cinnamon. Roasted butternut squash sprinkled with pepper and ginger, then pureed with some honey. My son loves my spicy pumpkin bread and my husband can hardly wait for the first crockpot of split pea soup served with rosemary and olive oil bread.
Lunches are still primarily salads, but when I've got some leftovers of root vegetables done in various fashions, I love to add a vinegarette and chill them for my noontime meal in place of the usual spinach and dried cranberries.
I've heard a rumor that in many parts of the US that the autumn "nip" has already begun. Can't really tell her on our part of the west coast-we had temps in the upper 80's and high humidity all week, but I am just thrilled with the prospect of taking out the crockpot and putting up a nice all-in-one meal in the very near future.
Is there anything more wonderful than walking in the door from work and smelling a roast and veggies simmering? I love that I can set the table, either defrost or bake some whole corn muffins and have a hearty meal (and next days lunches) ready to serve without thinking.
Wednesday, let's talk about a couple of easy and tasty crockpot meals.

This is the nightmare project. I started it a year ago when we lived in Lagos, Nigeria. The plan was to have something nice and warm for when I returned to cold Norway. It went well, until I startet with the sleeves.
No matter how I made them, it just would nor fit! It looked bulky, it looked wrong. I tried and retried, but there were no nice fix.
So my solution was, yesterday, to give up the sleeves and make it sleeveless.
So this is my sleeveless version of Drops design number 107-1, made with Bris yarn from Gjesdal.
As you can see, I used a lot of purple shaded yarn, and added on some blue-green-ish shaded to brighten it up a bit. I was happy with that result. Now I need 6 big buttons tha matches the purple colours. And knitting Mosaic knitting does not leave a lot of loose ends to fasten afterwards.

Withering Soul are a band from Chicago, Illinois that plays a very symphonic form of black metal mixed with melodic black/death and this is a review of their 211 album "No Closure" which was released by Mortal Music.
Drums range from slow, midpaced to fast drumming with alot of brutal blast beats, while the keyboards are very atmospheric and atmospheric sounding,as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they sound very powerful.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, midpaced to fast black metal riffing that is also very melodic and utilizes influences from both death metal and traditional metal, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding metal guitar solos.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with some deep death metal growls and some clean singing mixed in with a short use female vocals, while the lyrics cover Ghosts, the Paranormal, and Horror, as for the production it has a very professional and heavy sound to it.
In my opinion Withering Soul are a very good melodic, gothic, symphonic black metal band, and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECEMMONDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Phantasmal Chaos" "Sadistic Redress" and "Lifeless They Lie". RECEMMONDED BUY.

A Biker Conquers the 'Last Frontier' of the Alaska Ridgeline
2 years ago
"The Last Frontier." That's what this exposed chunk of the Alaskan ridgeline is called. (Incidentally, ridgeline is the "line formed along the highest points of a mountain ridge.") Eric Porter's decision to take on this territory with his bicycle is very bold by him—one slip and he plummets a long way—but extremely beautiful for us watching.
See Porter take on the Last Frontier in the video below.

Provides the historical background to the various theories of the mind, from the ancient Greeks to Freudian and Jungian theories up till the most recent findings in modern psychology, including neuropsychoanalysis
Presents and details the distinct components of the mind; the conscious and the unconscious parts with its distinct logic systems, its separate absorptions of perceptions, and the mechanism that incorporates and governs these thought systems into a holistic mind
Reviews how a big data approach of public media can be used to test and formulate the rules and dynamic constants that defines the interaction between the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind
Summarizes in a digested manner the meta model for a virtual mind which gives the reader a computer architecture blueprint to develop machine generated human thinking
The Virtual Mind: Designing the Logic to Approximate Human Thinking, through an in-depth and multidisciplinary review, outlines and defines the underpinnings for modelling human thinking through
approximating the mind. Whilst there are plenty of efforts underway trying to mimic the brain, its complexities have so far proven insurmountable. But replicating the abstract notion of the mind provides a viable and quicker route. Broadly, the mind consists of a conscious and an unconscious part with separate logic schemes and these absorbs reality in diverging chunks, with the former truncated through narratives and norms and the latter able to amass broader perceptions of reality. These are held together and controlled through a governing mechanism. With the replication and establishment of the mind's mechanistic rules and dynamic constants, tested through a big data approach from public media, it allows for standardization and machine generated human thinking, a Virtual Mind.
A virtual mind is able to cover a wide array of applications, in particular forecasting of human behavior and decision-making. In essence, the whole socioeconomic spectra can be captured, including politics, financial markets and consumer patterns. Another area of potential application would be to augment various game software and of course, it would be applicable for the man-machine connect.
The book guides the reader on how to develop and produce a machine generated virtual mind in a step-by-step manner. It is a must for anyone with an interest in artificial intelligence, the design and construction of the next generation of computer logic and it provides an enhanced understanding of mankind's greatest mystery, the workings of the mind.
Niklas Hageback has extensive experience of risk modelling and financial analytics working at tier-one financial institutions and consulting firms, such as Deutsche Bank, KPMG, and Goldman Sachs, where he held regional executive risk management and oversight roles in both Europe and Asia.

Summer is here Mr. Mahone!May 26, 2010
It's always a joy to see Mr. Mahone on his daily walks in Moweaqua, when he stops by the studio to ask who the pretty pictures in the studio windows belong to. This past Sunday I saw him walking without his coat on and thought "Summer really is here!"
Then he waved as usual with his free hand, a nibbled Butterfinger candybar in the other… These are the things that I look forward to on Main Street, the things that just make sense anymore…

The One and Only: Show detailsMay 20, 2010
You might think that I've forgotten how to blog these past two months, but I assure you I'm just playing catch-up after a really busy final semester and preparing a show of 29 images from Moweaqua. Before I move on from ISU (and bring the show down to Moweaqua), I thought I'd share the set-up from Gallery 2 at ISU. Yes, I even managed to include my favorite Moweaqua ashtray into the gallery….

- In Bon Appetit's Gifts for Foodies on the Today Show
- Two hand-blown recycled glass porrón pitchers
- Charming decorative pieces
- Use for wine, olive oil or vinegar cruets
- Size - Approx. 3.75 inches tall - Capacity: about 2 oz
These little versions of the famous porrón wine pitcher bring the joy of a Spanish fiesta to our every day. Whether they are used on the dining room table or to decorate the windowsill or Christmas tree, they always bring back fond memories.
A porrón wine pitcher brings fun and laughter to any gathering! Wine is poured in a thin stream from the spout directly into your mouth. As you can imagine, this takes some skill, and learning how to master the porrón is half the enjoyment.
Our larger hand-blown recycled glass porrón has long been a customer favorite, so we were thrilled when our supplier created this smaller version. Each one comes with a tiny cork and holds about 2 ounces of liquid. We fill them with extra virgin olive oil and sherry vinegar, a handy and fun addition to the dining room table. They are also a delightful holder for small cut flowers on the kitchen windowsill.
During the holidays, they can be a whimsical decoration for the Christmas tree or fireplace mantle. Simply tie a ribbon around the neck of these cute little pitchers and add a touch of Spain to your holiday decorations.
These porrones come two to a box, each with its own cork. Wash before first use. Hand-blown from recycled glass.

GALVESTON, Texas (KTRK) --Leaking pipes caused by the deep freeze in the Galveston area has prompted the city to enact its drought contingency plan.
As part of the plan, the city is urging residents and businesses to conserve water since reserves fell by about 60 percent.
Under the emergency measure, different parts of the city will be allowed to water lawns only two days out of the week on alternating days. For example, customers in the side of Galveston east of 103rd Street are allowed to irrigate landscaping on Mondays and Thursday.
In addition, car washing on private property will also be prohibited.
The stipulations of the conservation order are enforced by law, according to the city.
Galveston also informed residents who have a leak to contact the city through its website or email.
The plan will go on until the majority of all freeze-related leaks are resolved, the city said.
"The City has experienced unprecedented water loss due to leaks happening across the Island," said Galveston city manager Brian Maxwell. "This is quickly becoming a water emergency and we hope that residents will heed the message and help us to conserve the water we do have in reserves. We are hoping to quickly resolve these issues and rescind the mandatory water rationing as soon as possible."

A weekend of great pitching duels concluded Sunday afternoon with the division-leading Chicago Cubs taking the game 4-2 and the series 2-1. Only a couple baserunners represented the offense until the sixth inning when the Cubs registered four straight 2-out hits, including RBIs by Wilson Contreras and Addison Russell against Brewers pitcher Zach Davies. The Brewers would get those two runs right back off of Cubs pitcher John Lackey with a two run homer by Domingo Santana. Solo home runs in consecutive innings by Victor Caratini and Kris Bryant put the Cubs ahead before closer Wade Davis closed the door in the 9th.
The Brewers will have a day off Monday while waiting to see what moves will be done before the trade deadline, which occurs at 3 p.m. Miller Park will be rocking again on Tuesday when the Brewers face the St. Louis Cardinals starting at 6:40 p.m.

Barbecued Raspberry-Hoisin Chicken
Combine hoisin sauce with pureed tart raspberries to make a wonderful Chinese-inspired marinade and dipping sauce for grilled chicken. Plan ahead: The chicken thighs benefit from marinating for at least 2 hours before grilling.
TOTAL TIME: 3 hr 15 min
- 1 cup(s) raspberries fresh or frozen
- 3/4 cup(s) hoisin sauce
- 5 tablespoon vinegar, rice divided
- 1 clove(s) garlic
- 1 slice(s) orange peel (zest), grated (2-by-1/2-inch)
- 1 tablespoon ginger, fresh chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper, black ground
- 1 pinch pepper, red, crushed
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken, thighs, boneless, skinless trimmed, each cut into 3 crosswise strips
- 2 1/2 cup(s) water
- 1 cup(s) rice, brown long- or medium-grain
- 1/3 cup(s) scallion(s) (green onions) thinly sliced, divided
1. Combine raspberries, hoisin sauce, 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, garlic, orange zest, ginger, pepper and crushed red pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend or process until smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside 1/4 cup for a dipping sauce.
2. Transfer the remaining marinade to a medium bowl and add chicken; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
3. Combine water and rice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, until ready to serve.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler to high.
5. Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the marinade, scrape off excess (discard marinade), and thread onto 4 skewers, distributing equally.
6. Grill the chicken until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. If using the broiler, place the chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray and broil 4 inches from the heat source until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
7. Just before serving, sprinkle the rice with the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1/4 cup scallions; fluff with a fork. Sprinkle the chicken and rice with the remaining scallions. Serve with the reserved dipping sauce.

The 2015 iKusasa Cross Mentorship Program in KZN is the first expansion of the Bokamoso program.Within the KZN province we are focusing on the eThekwini Municipal Area (Durban). Last year, the average matric pass rate for this entire area was 76.55%, but there is a large range between the different schools. This speaks to both the challenges and opportunities of supporting these learners.
We are privileged to have the involvement of just over 100 enthusiastic, engaged and incredible learners from 5 different schools around Durban. We are excited to be on this journey with them.
Hunt Road Secondary School (Berea)
Hunt Road Secondary School's motto is 'Excellence through Education'. It is based within Central Durban and has over 500 learners. Many of the learners come from surrounding former township areas such as Chesterville as well as further afield from KwaMashu and Umlazi. They are a wonderful and dynamic group of learners.
Umkhumbane Secondary School (Cato Manor/ Chesterville)
uMkhumbane Secondary School is based in the historic former township area of Cato Manor. The learners have an enthusiasm for learning and a strong desire for change. They are one of five schools in the area who are part of the Umkhumbane Schools Project established in 2012 which provides a range of programmes aimed at improving maths and science learning and performance.
Senzokwethu High School (Ntuzuma)
The buildings of Senzokwethu High School were initially used as a technical college but were transformed more recently into a primary and secondary school filled with youthful energy. Senzokwethu has passionate and committed learners, 30 of whom are part of the iKusasa program. This high school is based in the Ntuzuma area north of Durban, and has maintained an average reported Matric pass rate of 90% over the last 3 years.
Siyajabula High School (KwaNyuswa)
This school is based in the peri-urban area of KwaNyuswa within the Valley of 1000 Hills. Siyajabula has had some remarkable achievements in the recent years such as the almost 20% increase in their reported Matric pass rate from 2012 until last year. The learners are a keen group ready to tackle any challenges and take advantage of opportunities.
Bechet High School (Sydenham)
Bechet High School was established in 1955. Its school motto of 'Success through Hard Work' has been a foundation embedded in the hearts and minds of the many successful students that have come through the schooling system. The outstanding teachers and leadership have positively shaped the characters of many; equipping these learners with lifelong skills whilst providing a high standard of education. We are fortunate to have this group of insightful and open learners participating in the programme.

Yannis Ritsos
A peaceful sea with scarcely a flaw: faked light
coloring low clouds. If you don't remember,
you won't forget. The present—he says—but what present? There came,
at night, mute messengers who sat on the stone steps,
who took out cloth napkins and spread them on their knees,
and who, a little later, folded them back up and left. One
had a scar running from his temple to his chin. He stood
and pointed toward the sea, then cinched up his belt.
We lowered our lamps to the ground and watched our shadows
scramble up the white wall—enormous, hairy, without bones.

Wow. Some real gems in this one. I'm following up by exploring the personal and political context, but my current superficial understanding of Yannis Ritsos life limits how deeply I can enter his poetry. Nonetheless, his poems transport me to his visions or moments of experience that inspired the lines.

How do you Explain CPM? #realNews
Bring-A-Friend is officially coming… #gymbuddies
The BIG question I love to ask others around the gym is, "How do you explain CPM to your friends?" or, "What do you tell your friends about our services?"
*Great Workouts
*Awesome, Knowledgable and Friendly Coaches that really care about you.
*Fun and Motivating environment.
Beyond the obvious points;-) Here is a look in more depth to what we are involved with here at CPMFITness.
Our Mission:
- Create an organization that allows anyone to accomplish their Health and Fitness goals
- Inspire change and seek to make a positive difference in our local communities
- Seek continued growth to affect as many people as possible through sustainable and responsible actions
Our Vision:
- To become the premier Health and Fitness organization in Sioux Falls.
- This includes the highest quality coaching of Functional FITness, Olympic Lifting, Gymnastics and Running, as well as Nutritional, Mobility, Accountability and Motivation.
What Does CPM stand for?
C = Courage; It takes courage to succeed in any endeavor in life. Especially when you taking charge of your health and physicality. We will always have fears and failures in our life. It's not about being fearless, it's about acting with Courage.
P = Potential; Our human potential inspires me everyday. We all have more in the tank. It's all about chasing our potential rather than perfection. For more read HERE
M = Motivation; Motivation is like a muscle. It needs to be exercised regularly. It will be fatigued. Building motivation comes from your internal (thoughts) and external (action and environment).
We are visionaries and go-getter's! When we can stand behind something we believe in with everything we've got, we will make things happen!
We love people first. CPM members are the best of the best kind of people. We treat them like GOLD and appreciate them everyday. When someone emails, we email them right back! When someone posts something on Facebook, we post right back! When someone has specific questions, we answer them! We remember everything about everyone.
Our goal is to make each member feel like they are the only client.
Our Coach 4 Life program provides the ultimate accountability, support and personalized guidance to creating and keeping the body you want and deserve!
The group classes we teach is a no holds bar kinda class with the people 1st. The warm up is fun, inviting and welcoming. It is a time to connect or continue to create those powerful relationships. Our instruction is clear and concise. Everything we do has a personal touch; we remember peoples strengths and weaknesses, their weights, their nicknames, etc… Safety, organization and efficiency is #1 and in place before the workout begins. When the class begins we light it on FIRE! The music is pumping, the energy is an extreme HIGH, every time someone completes a class they will get results every time.
We see ourselves in Sioux Falls as the "Go-To" Health and FITness Facility to the residents, businesses and everyone in the surrounding area. We have built THREE successful 200 member FITness boutique gyms; (CrossFit Sioux Falls (2008-2011), CrossFIT 818 in California (2011-2013) and CPMFITness in the Western Mall (2013 to present).
Currently we have (2) locations Western Mall, Downtown. One big corporate location, DocuTAP. We work heavily in the corporate sector with companies like; Vance Thompson, Lloyd, Hegg, Silverstone, City of Sioux Falls and OTA.
The future is bright my friends. Thank you to everyone involved in making this movement happen and continue to grow!
The O-Board Says…
A: Every 90-seconds for 6-rounds
Sprint 100m
B: AMRAP 15min
10 Wallballs
10 Toes to Bar
10 Box Jumps

Hello fellow females (and males if you're reading, I don't discriminate). This post will either be completely relatable, or make you think I'm a slobby, lazy non-woman, who needs to stripped of her womanlyness immediately. I'm sure (hoping) that if you're a girl (or even if you're not. Again, I ain't hatin'), you'll come across these sort of things in life, and think "my god I'm so bad at being a girl". This happens to me on the regular, and even though there are lots of girly tasks that I relish in, there are others that make me scream with frustration. Whichever way you take this post, I hope you enjoy reading it/laughing at my sad life.
Without further ramblings, here are 10 'girl' things that I'm bad at:
1) Doing my nails
It's something that I get excited to do in my head, but when it comes to actually doing, I get so frustrated I nearly end up tearing the buggers off my finger. I am a serial smudger, I can't have my nails too long due to wearing contact lenses, I chew my cuticles (yes I know that's gross, it's a nervous habit), and I always forget to put on a top coat because I'm lazy, and this leads to chipping. I am absolutely USELESS when it comes to my nails
2) Cleaning my make up brushes
Now what's the rule here? a quick clean whenever you use it, and then a deep clean once a month? All I have to say to that is: HAHAHAHAH okay then. I actually physically went out and bought some make up cleanser, which is the easiest thing to use! Simply spray onto a cotton pad and wipe away the excess dirt, it could not be simpler, and I'm STILL bad at doing this. I sometimes do this every now and then (when I remember/am arsed to). I also only give them a deep clean maybe once every 6 months (hides).
3) Moisturising my body
I am really bad for this. Unless I've got that amazing Nivea in-shower moisturiser, then this job just ain't getting done. The furthest I'll go is moisturising my legs after I've shaved them, but that's the only time I actually think about moisturising my body. I know it's important, it's just when you've got that post-shower/bath laziness, it takes a lot to get your whole BODY moisturised, and then waft yourself about until you've dried off. Am I right?
4) Having regular haircuts
This is again, pure laziness and forgetfulness. I will leave my hair a good six months without going to the hairdresser to have my mop chopped. I am really really trying to get better at this! I'm trying to get my hair to a point where I'm really happy with it, just at the minute I'm not loving it. I tolerate it, and I am happyish with it most of the time. Hopefully this is something I can work on. I'm considering going for a 'lob' next time I go!
5) Leaving spots/blemishes alone
Right, if I see a spot, it's getting squeezed. I know you're meant to leave them to do their thing, but there's nothing I enjoy more, than a nice big juicy whitehead. My boyfriend and I are actual spot freaks. We send each other snapchats when we wake up with a good zit, we go mad over those viral videos with the freakishly big and bad ones, and I don't think we can make it through an evening without one of us saying 'Ooh let me have a go on your back'. Yes I realise this might be an overshare, but I don't think I'm alone on this! Please let me know if you're also a closet spot obsessive.
6) Painting my toenails
I know this kind of fits into the first point, but I'm even more useless at doing my toenails than I am my fingernails. I think it comes down to laziness again, but I think unless they're on show, then what's the point? I'll only ever plan to do them if I'm going out in shoes where you can see them (sometimes that will even affect my shoe choice - yeah I know).
7) Doing 'the messy bun'
This is not for lack of trying I tell you. The messy bun is one that I've tried to master on numerous occasions, but 9 times out of 10 it just looks messy messy rather than chic messy. There always comes that point too where you've been fiddling around with it for that long trying to make it look good, that your arms start to ache and feel like they're going to fall off. Someone please show me an easy way to pull this look off without looking like a tramp.
8) Fake tanning
I've got to the point with fake tan, where I just don't bother. I used to do it, and I'd look freaking ridiculous. It's something that I've never been able to master doing well. Also I'm the palest person on the planet, so I think that makes it look even worse on me. If there are any tanning products out there that work with borderline albino girls, then please let me know!
9) Wearing Heels
I just can't. I'd rather go out in flats, than have to endure that god awful pain any more. The only heels I can stand are those thick ones that can actually stabilise me for an evening. I wish I could be one of those flawless Carrie Bradshaw types that make heels look so effortless, but that just isn't me. I'd rather go out and be comfortable in my shoes, than want to cut my feet off/look like bambi on ice/be moaning all night!
10) False Eyelashes
This is more of a fear rather than something I'm bad at. As I mentioned, I wear contact lenses, so the thought of messing up around my eye area scares me. I always think 'what if the glue gets in my eye!' which yes, would be an unbelievably stupid thing to accomplish, but have you met me? Again, this is something that I'm going to try and get over, because I do love the look of them when they're done properly.
So there you have it! I'm officially a terrible female. I might do a series on trying to master each of these things for your entertainment, if that's something I can actually get myself to doing! Let me know if you're useless like me, We can start a support group!
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this post

You wouldn't like Ed when he's angry.
No, seriously. It's not a joke. Ed Norton is going to take over for Eric Bana as Bruce banner. I'm...surprised. Surprised? Bewildered, maybe. I mean, the first one wasn't all that great, the sequel is supposed to be an all-action 're-imagining' so it's not a 'Part 2' and it's being directed by Louis Leterrier (The Transporter 1 & 2). Early talks were mentioning Dominic Purcell or Matthew Modine. You know, B-listers who are unafraid of schlock. Which fits the director's style. But...Ed? Ed who bad mouthed The Italian Job so bad? Ed "Down In The Valley" Norton?
Don't get me wrong, he's a damn fine actor, I'm just really, really confused. Brain smashed!

The founder and executive chair of Dental Sleep Masters situated in New Jersey, Dr. Avi Weisfogel has exceptional experience of developing innovative solutions for addressing sleep-related disorders. After acquiring his DDS, he opened his dental office known as Old Bridge Dental Care in 1999. He acted as the senior dentist at his practice for close to two decades, bagging awards from the dentistry community. He won the Best Dentist Designation for a couple of years.
Infiltrating the sleep medicine scene
Dr. Avi Weisfogel developed a keen interest in the sleep arena while he was still managing his private practice. He researched intensively on the ways physicians and dentists could be of assistance to people with sleep-related diseases. In 2010, he opened up Healthy Heart Sleep, a firm that partnered with medical professionals around the world and equipped them with skills of instituting and overseeing sleep labs.
Diving deeper into the sleep world
In 2012, Dr. Weisfogel demonstrated that he was a driving force in the sleep world by founding Owner Unlimited Sleep Patient. This company became an authority in the arena of sleep barely a year after its establishment. Through this firm, Dr. Weisfogel and his team lectured dentists on reliable tactics for offering better services to sleep patients and increasing their numbers. In 2014, he achieved yet another milestone in the sleep arena by establishing Dental Sleep Masters (DSM). DSM concentrated on assisting dentists to establish successful sleep labs and use oral appliances to manage sleep complications. As the founder and manager of DSM, Dr. Weisfogel advances sleep apnea research and obtains in-depth knowledge about the illness. He delivers this information to dentists and physicians to help them identify individuals who have high risks of getting this obstructive disease.
Dr. Weisfogel's views concerning sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is an awkward disease since it can affect almost anyone of any age. However, hosts of studies have revealed that risk factors increase extensively with the increase in weight and age. Close to 50 percent of patients undergoing sleep apnea treatment are overweight, indicating that fat deposits block their airways. Dr. Weisfogel confirms that sleep apnea is not restricted to overweight persons.

You should really check out the game! might be a qualifier for a spooky halloween play tomorrow night!! it is both thrilling and an intense heart stopper. Not necessarily a horror game but one that will make you for surely rage quit. I am marking this as a challenge. I am not providing media because I want you to delve into it yourself. Enjoy and I hope you take it into consideration :) Edit: This game is rather longer than the other suggestions that are being posted so maybe not so much of a good idea unless you are willing to dig in.

Stamford Drug Possession Lawyer
Possession is considered anything that is either on an individual's person or in their belongings and within their control. Typically, this will occur when the police are either perhaps pulling someone over and have probable cause to think that they have drugs. If the police witness a drug transaction or see someone use drugs, they may arrest them for drug possession.
If you have been accused of holding illegal substances, contact a Stamford drug possession lawyer as soon as possible. A skilled Stamford drug attorney has the local knowledge that may be beneficial when preparing for your day in court. They can help you negotiate a deal with the prosecution or plan a strong defense should you decide to proceed with trial.
Classifying Types of Illegal Drugs
There are different classifications for illegal drugs in Stamford such as recreational drugs like cocaine, crack, heroin, methadone, Molly. There are hallucinogens like mushrooms, acid or LSD. Non-prescribed controlled substances are considered OxyContin, Vicodin or Adderall. Possession of marijuana is determined as illegal depending on the amount.
Law Enforcement Treatment of Possession Cases
Local law enforcement and the state attorney's office in Stamford Superior Court have made it a priority to try to get illegal substances off the street. Possession is near the top of their list with an emphasis on drug dealers and the people that are distributing the drugs. However, while looking for the dealers they often come across others in possession of illegal drugs.
What Drugs are Treated Harshly?
Stamford drug possession lawyers have seen that drugs like heroin, fentanyl, and other opioids are treated very harshly. There is an ongoing opioid crisis, especially in the State of Connecticut. Heroin and fentanyl are handled more severely than a half ounce of marijuana, for instance. They are all punishable by the law but some are punished more severely.
Mistakes to Avoid in Drug Possession Cases
Some of the biggest mistakes that people make is thinking that they do not need a lawyer. A Stamford drug possession lawyer can help someone avoid saying anything that will eventually hurt their case or even incriminate them further. The number one mistake would be going into the courtroom or even speaking to the police before an arrest is made without the assistance of counsel.
Benefit of Hiring an Attorney
A Stamford drug possession lawyer can explain the legalities of the individual's case and speak on their behalf when necessary. Often times, there are mistakes made when charging people with possession of drug crimes, and an experienced lawyer can look carefully at all the alleged evidence and look carefully at the charges to see if the charges are even warranted by what the police is saying they have.

It's so tiring to be out with the two girls for house visits! My arms are literally aching from the carrying.
Today is much better as we headed off to 5th aunt's place for gathering. Popo seems to be very glad to see all of us there.
Kerri has been ok except perhaps she is rather tired from all the entertaining.
Eventually when we left the place, she knocked out within few minutes after we placed her in car seat.
Keira was behaving clingy and whiny throughout. Oh man.
It's back to work tomorrow and I am really dreading it.

Conditional Offer: STEWART REALTY BOOK 5
RELEASE DATE: August 25, 2012 from Tri Destiny Publishing. The best selling Stewart Realty saga continues!
Craig Robinson and Suzanne Baxter had no reason to meet, no real excuse to be friends. But when heart calls to heart…blood to blood…should two people who seem destined to be together heed the spin of Fate's wheel?
Craig spent years floating through life on cruise control, using directionless jobs, his rock band, swimming, and a string of older women in his bed to smother feelings of loneliness and loss. He finally thought he had found his true love in one Sara Thornton — A sexy, beautiful, fellow real estate agent and mentor. But his self-doubt and innate sense of failure is only reinforced when he realizes her heart belongs to another man.
When Sara introduces him to Suzanne, a woman fighting her own demons from an abusive marriage and subsequent feelings of inadequacy and deep unhappiness, that chance moment snaps Craig's hazy existence into crystal clear focus. A bond born of instant physical attraction is nurtured by time and shared experience, and plenty of erotic energy.
As Suzanne's past continues to haunt her, making her push Craig away just as he thinks he's getting closer, each of them must come to terms with their true selves and face their ultimate realities.
An exclusive, currently-in-editing, excerpt (shhh….do not tell the publisher):
"Hey," he answered his sister's call by rote, wondering how many of them were on the other line this time. "Sort of busy," he wasn't at that moment but was not in the mood for their crap.
"Craig!" Grace shrieked in his ear. "When did you start modeling?"
"What?" he half ignored his oldest sister, one of three who'd taken one look at him as an infant and been instantly infatuated. They had coddled him, fussed over him, and he had to barely lift a finger to do anything the majority of his growing up years. He never exerted energy with laundry, cleaning or preparing food—nothing but taking care of himself his entire life until he moved to college. And even then they'd been at him reminding him to brush, floss, wash, wear condoms, well, not that that last bit. He groaned, determined not to blame the phalanx of women on the other end of the phone for his own failures.
"Craig," another one grabbed the phone. Frannie, the high school principal spoke low in his ear. "We saw a…a … book cover. And, you, your…"
"What the fuck are you…" he rolled his eyes when Lillian took the phone.
"Sweetie, we didn't know you were modeling."
"I'm not." He growled, worry setting up a distinct home base in his chest.
"Well, you're on a book cover. I hope you're getting paid."
"Holy shit. How do you, I mean…" he clapped his hand over his eyes, remembering that night, with the camera, and the guitar.
"Are you gay?" his bold youngest sister blurted into his ear.
"No. I'm definitely not gay." He opened his laptop, and pulled up google.
"Well, you are on the cover of a best selling man love novel. 'His Guitar Cowboy' is climbing the charts. And my brother's near naked bod is on the cover."
He tried not to yell. "Okay. Well, how do you…I mean.."
"Your face, you dumb ass. Your pretty boy mug is there, along with your chest, arms, hands, guitar, and legs. You know, we can imagine the rest given your bare hip, sticking out from the side of the instrument."
"Holy fucking shit." He groaned and sank into his chair.
oh heavens…Craig what HAVE you gotten yourself into now????

The brother of former NBA star Jayson Williams told a police dispatcher that a limousine driver shot himself, according to a newspaper's account of the 911 tape released Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, a state appeals court ordered the release of the 911 tape, made after the Feb. 14, 2002 shooting at Williams' home.
Williams, 35, is charged with first-degree manslaughter and other offenses in the death of driver Costas Christofi. Williams, who is accused of shooting Christofi and then trying to make it look like a suicide, could face nearly 55 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
On the 911 tape, Williams' brother, Victor, implored the dispatcher to send an ambulance.
"This man has just got shot, he picked up a gun that was loaded and it shot him," he said, according to the Bridgewater (N.J.) Courier News. Authorities have said Victor Williams was not present at the time of the shooting.
