Francisco Hernandez
Other Murder Exonerations with Perjury or False Accusation
On August 28, 2001, 37-year-old Roy Flores left his home in Salinas, California to get some quarters for the laundry. He was walking through a parking area of an apartment building when he was confronted by a man and began to run. The man drew a pistol, according to a witness, and gave chase. A few seconds later, three shots were fired and Flores was killed.
A few days later, Mirna Cruz, who lived in an apartment near the parking area, went to police to complain about a problem she was having with her apartment manager. A friend who went with her to act as an interpreter told police that Cruz saw the shooting.
Cruz then told police that she saw a man she called "Pancho"—whom she knew casually from the neighborhood—confronts Flores, chase him and fire one shot in his direction. She said she heard two more shots, but a parked car blocked her view and she saw nothing more. She said the gunman was wearing blue pants and a white shirt and had short hair.
Because Flores had been a former member of the Norteno street gang, police asked her to view photographs of known gang members. She selected the photograph of 26-year-old Francisco Hernandez, a member of the Vagos street gang that she knew from the neighborhood, as the gunman.
On September 4, 2001, police went to the address where Hernandez lived. When they approached, he saw them and fled through a gangway, but was arrested climbing over a fence. An officer recovered a loaded handgun from near where Hernandez had fled. A bag of bullets was found in the apartment.
Police also detained four other Vagos street gang members at the building. Among them were Gustavo Orozco, who lived in the apartment with Hernandez and was stopped as he attempted to jump out of a window of Hernandez's apartment, and Jorge Serrano.
Hernandez, who sported a gang tattoo on the back of his shaved head, was charged with murder and possession of a weapon, along with gang affiliation. None of the other four men arrested that day were charged in the crime.
Hernandez went on trial in Monterey County Superior Court in December 2002.
Cruz identified him as the man she saw chasing Flores and firing the first shot. She said she did not see Flores get shot, but heard two more shots fired.
She said she had seen Hernandez earlier in the day with Orozco and that he had a shiny revolver. She said she knew Orozco, but only slightly. She said he had been to her apartment a couple of times, once to borrow an iron to press some clothing. She denied he was a friend.
A crime lab analyst testified that when he examined the gun recovered after Hernandez was arrested, he discovered that bullets obstructed the barrel. When he attempted to remove the bullets, the barrel was damaged to such a degree that any attempt to compare bullets fired from it was useless.
The defense called several witnesses and attempted to show that the gunman may have been Serrano, whose wallet was found at the scene of the shooting, or Orozco.
After his wallet was found, Serrano had told police he happened upon the shooting right after it happened and when a car on the street sped up toward him, he fled, dropping his wallet. He had denied any involvement in the crime.
But a defense witness testified that the gunman was wearing a black beanie, white T-shirt and baggy navy long pants—a different clothing description than was given by Cruz—and that the gunman resembled Jorge Serrano—whom she saw in the courthouse during the trial.
Another defense witness said the gunman was 18 or 19 years old, wearing pants and a navy blue T-shirt with a number on it—also different from Cruz's description.
On December 17, 2002, after five days of deliberation, the jury convicted Hernandez on all counts.
After the conviction, but before sentencing, Cruz contacted the Monterey County District Attorney's Office and spoke to the investigator on the case. She wanted help in locating Orozco because he was the father of her child and she wanted to obtain child support.
The information was passed to Hernandez's defense attorney, who, on April 11, 2003, filed a motion for a new trial alleging that Cruz had lied at trial when she said Orozco was not a friend. The information about their relationship could have been used to impeach her testimony, the defense contended.
The motion for new trial was denied and Hernandez was sentenced to 48 years to life in prison on July 16, 2003.
On May 14, 2004, the California Court of Appeals reversed the conviction and ordered a new trial. The court found that the discovery that Orozco was the father of one of her children gave her a motive to lie and would have been valuable impeachment in a case that hinged almost solely on Cruz's testimony.
As the case moved toward a retrial, the defense found a witness who said she saw two men running from the shooting and that neither was Hernandez. Moreover, the defense found two more witnesses who were with Cruz at the time of the shooting and both identified Orozco as being at the scene of the crime.
On December 2, 2005, the murder charge was dismissed by the prosecution. Hernandez pleaded guilty to possession of the gun—which was never linked to the crime—and received six years in prison.

Over time, coil springs loose their structural integrity. This loss can result in a drop in the height of the vehicle, reduced maneuverability and an increased wear of important structural suspension components. Replacing the worn coil springs with new springs will restore the vehicle's proper ride height and result in a significant improvement in handling. Properly removing the old coil springs necessitates the use of a coil spring compressor.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Challenging

Show More
- 1
Identify the four components of the coil spring compressor. First is the threaded rod which runs the length of the compressor. Second, identify the tightening nut located at the end of the threaded rod. The remaining two parts are the jaws of the compressor. The jaws are threaded onto the threaded rod and face each other.
- 2
Raise the front of the vehicle with a suitable jack.
- 3
Support the vehicle with jack stands capable of supporting the weight of the vehicle.
- 4
Fold both jaws of the coil spring compressor so that they fit against the threaded rod.
- 5
Lower the coil spring compressor through the centre of the coil spring. The end of the coil spring compressor that does not have the tightening nut goes into the coil spring first.
- 6
Retract each coil spring compressor jaw so that they grasp onto the coils of the spring.
- 7
Turn the tightening nut located on top of the coil spring compressor in a clockwise direction with a wrench to compress the coil spring.
- 8
Once the coil spring is compressed, remove the spring with the compressor still attached from the bottom of the vehicle.
- 9
Carefully turn the tightening nut of the compressor in a counterclockwise direction to release the coil spring from the coil spring compressor.
Tips and warnings
- Only use a jack capable of lifting the weight of the vehicle and jack stands capable of supporting the weight of the vehicle.

I have an explanation for why people click the spam button on so-called "legitimate" email: the "Forgot I Signed Up for Email" (FISUE) Syndrome.
This often happens when people sign up for Webinars, free trials or buy something online. They either forgot they signed up or didn't realize that being added to your regular email program came with their transaction.
You must make a clear case to your subscribers that your email is in their inboxes at their invitation. If not, FISUE Syndrome will claim another victim.
Was That Email Spam? Or Just Spam-Like? Earlier this year, I received an email from a presentation company that I was sure I had never heard of nor done business with.
I was about to send the company a nasty email but decided to sort my emails on its sender name. Presto!
Turns out I had actually received five previous emails from this company, but several had different "From" names and branding. I also never received a welcome email. (I may have signed up for a company-sponsored Webinar several months earlier and provided my email address during registration.) In short, I didn't know who this company was or whether I knowingly opted in for email, and I still don't.
Mistakes that Cause FISUE Syndrome This company committed some of the common mistakes that lead to FISUE Syndrome:
How to Minimize FISUE Follow some basic rules that apply when emailing to a new address:
Remind subscribers exactly what they'll be receiving and when. More information on welcome emails can be found here:
Investing the extra effort to make your emails unforgettable is your best defense against the FISUE Syndrome.

Michigan House Republicans argue that their plan to reform the school retirement system offers superior savings over a Senate-passed bill that would close the system to new employees. But much of the supposed savings come from accounting gimmicks. A better idea is to close the plan to new members, where the state will not be able to play these games.
Much of the reported savings from the House bill come from a scheme to "prefund" optional retiree health care benefits. Unlike regular pensions, where the state attempts to set aside enough each year to cover the future cost as the future benefits are earned by current employees, the retiree health benefit cost comes out of current revenues on a "pay as you go" basis.
Stay Engaged
This means that the 192,435 Michigan school retirees are in effect still drawing pay (or at least payments) from taxpayers, even though they may not have provided any service for 20 years or more.
The cost of this insurance coverage will not decrease if the state begins prefunding them. Prefunding only allows the state to make accounting assumptions that cause the future costs to appear smaller.
This is done by assuming that state money managers can invest the prefunding dollars and earn an average annual return of 8 percent — gains that can cover part of the future costs. But this assumption is too optimistic. Over the past 15 years the state has actually earned far less on its pension funds.
The larger problem is that the state's liabilities for retiree health care are ultimately unknown, since it relies on estimating the costs of an uncertain future. No one can predict what their cost will actually be in 10 years. The state assumes that the annual increases will decrease regularly over the next decade, but a change in direction and magnitude can have a huge impact on financial obligations.
A third issue is that unlike money in regular pension funds, nothing prohibits a future Legislature from "raiding" the prefunding account to pay for other government spending. The "savings" assumed by the House depend on this not happening — another prediction not supported by past experience.
In contrast to savings based on optimistic investment return assumptions, unknowable future health care cost estimates and a change in future politicians' behavior, the Senate-passed version of school pension reform does something very real: it closes the pension system to new school retirees. Closing the plan phases out the state's ability to underfund retirement benefits.

WooHoo! I feel better now. Not only physically, but here's a UFO that I drew out on graph paper when my son was 6 months old. He's now 6.
It feels good to: (1) get these 35 Jacob's Ladder blocks done and (2) get them put together. Now to figure out borders.
sorry for the poor pic, 60x84 |
It is so eye opening to see the difference between the blocks I made a few months ago and the ones that I made a few years ago. Between using different machines, honing my cutting skills, and discovering that my original quarter inch foot was actually a 3/8 inch foot when sewn to the guide on the ride side, some of the blocks were off by 1/4 inch.
Initially, I constructed the HSTs with Thangles. For the latest blocks I used the Easy Angle ruler. I think this also contributed to the size discrepancy. I prefer the Easy Angle because it seems faster for me to stitch the two triangles together and press and voila!, a HST.
I put the top together in sections, not row by row. Doing this helped tremendously in dealing with the block size discrepancy, allowing me to ease in blocks a bit at a time. Now, that doesn't mean that some of my seam allowances aren't a bit small in places!
Lots of quilt patterns tell us to put tops together row by row. In my beginning quilting class, our LQS owner/instructor showed us how to put blocks together in pairs, then into 4 patches, then 8 patches, etc. This prevents us from sewing long seams over and over again. I use this method with complex blocks, too. For example, rather than sewing a 16 patch block together row by row, I create four 4 patches and sew those components and my blocks come out more precise.
To the numbers! I don't count yardage piecemeal. Usually I wait until the binding is done before I count the yardage. However, since I plan to do some "quilting by checkbook," I will count the top and backing once the quilting is complete. I can count the binding later, when it's being added. So, nothing "used" this week.
Have a great week!

England A's selectors have been attacked for an alleged bias against the North in the choice of players to meet Western Samoa at Gateshead on 12 December.
The North have won both their games in the CIS Insurance Divisional Championship to date, but have seen just two of their players - Tim Stimpson, the West Hartlepool full-back, and Orrell's Jim Naylor on the wing - picked for the England A team.
Stan Bagshaw, the North's team secretary, said yesterday: "Some of our players have put in tremendous displays and we completely outplayed the South-West, yet we have two men involved, while they have six.
"I'm very disappointed for the players. They felt that after the South Africa game, Divisional form might count for something.
"But looking at the England A team, they may think otherwise now.
"To take one obvious example, Neil Ashurst was absolutely outstanding against the South- West and still very good against London. His performance at Bridgwater brought back memories of Peter Winterbottom, and that is no disrespect to Richard Hill.
"Hill is a fine player and very highly regarded by all the North lads, which is why Ashurst's display was so impressive. He was head and shoulders above everybody on the field, so how they can pick Hill I can't understand.
"In that opening game, Jim Mallinder, who has kept Jon Sleightholme out of the North team, was the pick of the wing men against the South-West, yet he doesn't figure and Jon's in the team.
"The fact is that the two Divisions who have won both their games have four players in the team. The players are bound to be disappointed, and I can sympathise with them."
The North could be running into another dispute with the England A management team about their final CIS Championship match of the season, against last year's champions, the Midlands, at Nottingham on 9 December - just three days before the Western Samoan game.
"We want all our players to be available for that match, which is so important to the North," Bagshaw said.
"Whatever people may say about the championship, it is very important to the North as a whole.
"We haven't won it for a while and have put a lot into developing our players and trying to pull them together as a successful team. We want to try to win it.
"The Midlands will also be fancying their chances and we want the strongest team we can bring together.
"We're hoping that the England A people will appreciate what a Divisional win would mean to the North."

Four years ago, I started a little blog with a recipe and a very average-looking photo of some very average-looking cupcakes. I thought it might be fun to combine my hobby of baking with my passion for images. I was right, I do enjoy it – and I enjoy having people read it. Over time, I started posting not just about baking, but also about my other creative pastimes – mainly crocheting and sewing. There aren't enough hours in the day to do all the crafting I would like to do!
This is still a little blog but I hope to continue it for as long as I still enjoy posting. I appreciate everyone who takes time to comment or ask questions. Thanks for reading!

Pierre Ferragu, an analyst at Sanford Bernstein describes Blackberry / Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) (TSE:BB)'s results as a "complete disaster" in an e-mail to CNET, as the company disappointed on virtually every single financial metric. Wall Street agreed with his assessment. BlackBerry lost more than a quarter of its market value, falling 25.5 percent to $10.69 in early trading this morning
On Friday, the company posted a loss in its fiscal first quarter, whereas analysts had projected a profit. Compounding the negativity was the eventual disclosure that it only sold 2.7 million BlackBerry 10 devices in the quarter and saw its subscriber base fall by 4 million to 72 million.
Sentiment Far Different From a Month Ago
The sentiment is far different from just a month ago, when Blackberry / Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) (TSE:BB) CEO Thorsten Heins declared during the annual developer conference that the company had gotten back some of its groove.
"It hasn't been that easy, and there's still a lot of work to do, but man, have we reached solid ground with this company," Heins said during his keynote address at BlackBerry Live in May. At the time, he was met with thunderous applause from the BlackBerry faithful.
Today, Heins endured a string of painful questions ranging from his thoughts on the disappointing BlackBerry 10 sales to how much time the board had given him before he had to ditch his current plans.
Bleak Future For Research In Motion Ltd (BBRY)
It was a bad day for BlackBerry all around. The surprising and disappointing numbers underscore the continued challenges the company faces as it continues its slow efforts for a recovery. But with losses expected to continue piling up, some are wondering if a comeback is even possible. With a market dominated by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930), Blackberry / Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) (TSE:BB) may be badly outgunned.
What's worse is that the situation doesn't look like it will be improving for a while. Blackberry / Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) (TSE:BB) warned it will post another loss in the current quarter and said it will continue to invest in products and services over the next three quarters, suggesting that the company will remain in the red for another year. Throughout it all, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins asked for more time and a longer-term view from analysts and industry observers who seemed short on patience.
CEO Sought Patience from the Investment Community
In his response, Heins sought patience from the investment community, saying that the company wasn't done launching products and noted that they each required significant marketing investment to stand out in a competitive market. He said fiscal 2014 (its current fiscal year) marks a period of investment, which will set the company up for growth next year.
"It's a new experience, so this takes a bit of time, it takes some investment," he said.

Nailed It: What Your Fingernails Can Tell You
Your fingernails may say a lot more about you than you think. In fact, "nails often reflect our general state of 'health' and some changes can be linked to various health issues," according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). So, how do we know if our nails are trying to tell us something?
One major thing to look out for is "changes in shape, texture, and color of nails," says Skincare.com expert and board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Dendy Engelman. "[These changes] can prove to be important clues to underlying health issues, including digestive compromises, food intolerances, and a variety of nutritional imbalances."
The AAD says that "nail problems make up 10 percent of all dermatologic conditions." So, just like you would check your body for moles and markings that might be discolored or appear to be changing in shape and size, it is important to check your fingernails for brown streaks or other forms of discoloration, roughness, and changes in thickness. Whether you are a fake nail type of gal, or like to keep it au natural, using your nails as a tool to indicate any changes in your overall health can be equally as important as taking good care of them.
Changes in shape, texture, and color of nails can prove to be important clues to underlying health issues, including digestive compromises, food intolerances, and a variety of nutritional imbalances.
The AAD suggests keeping your nails clean and dry "to prevent bacteria from collecting under the nail." You may also want to break up with your nail biting habit, as it "can transfer infectious organisms between your fingers and mouth" and may even damage the skin around your fingers. They also say that if you wear nail polish regularly, you may notice that your nails can appear yellow upon removal. You should not worry too much about this, as it can be a normal occurrence—especially with bright red or orange polishes. If you remove the polish, your nails "should return to their normal color over several weeks, if the same polish is not reapplied." In addition to these precautions, stay away from using your nails as a tool and try to keep your nails cut "straight across and rounded slightly in the center," to keep them strong and healthy-looking.

I found this article on the web. I would like to try it but am afraid that I will lose my unlimited plan if I'm found out. HAs anyone tried to do this? Any negative results. What I want to do is set my phone to forward all of my phone calls to my work cell, then install the iPhone 5 sim in my iPad mini to get unlimited data on that device.
I wouldn't risk it. Unlimited plan is more valuable than gold. Violation of the contract will give them an excuse to terminate your plan which AT&T would love to do.
It works. I use to use my iphone sim in my mini.. Now I added a dumb phone line with data ($10 + $10 unlimited data and get full browsing / on the go FaceTime on my Verizon ipad
I swap my AT&T unlimited data with my Verizon ipad mini and it worked fine except I couldn't get lte service. It was only 3G.
This is a situation where even if someone tells you it is OK to do it and there will be no problems i still would not believe 100% it is OK unless you get it from the horses mouth. Some people have good luck and well you know the other side to that so it is of course 50/50 whether they catch on to what you are doing. Since they state you cannot do it i guess that is there way of telling you not to or rather you can but do not let us catch you which of course can possibly happen. If your unlimited plan means the world to you then i would say do not do it period as others have said AT&T is just looking for excuses to kick people off the unlimited plans already.
You didn't mention carrier info, but since your sig touts ATT I'm assuming.. Swapping sims with Verizon devices works like a champ. Not so with ATT. I've tried putting my unlimited iPhone sim into my ATT rMini and the card is not recognized. I can't get it work. I've tried several times in the past year
Yes they are. I have investigated heavily with the intention of buying one but the cost is absolutely out of sight. Fact is, I just don't need it. I honestly do not watch very many movies or am not on YouTube often. My kids are grown so I don't need to entertain them in the backseat either. So 2 grand for something I won't really use to its capacity is absurd. If I go over my 6 gigs one month, I'll just pay for it.
2 grand? That is a lot. We sell them for half of that. But yeah if you don't wanna worry about data the plan is perfect. 29.99 a month.
U are right. There is one plan I saw for 999, one for 1300, another for 1900 and still another for 2900. One of those plans had an iPad Air already set up that was part of the deal. Sorry, 2 grand was a generalization I shouldn't have made, but one grand is still too rich for me because I flat don't need it. Just want it lol. When I started looking, I had cookie jared 600 dollars saving for an unlocked iPhone coming in Sept and I was willing to go that high, but I was disappointed to see that the plans going for that amount were the iPhone plans that wouldn't allow tethering and were shut down to a crawl at 5 gigs. I didn't know the difference at first and had to get it all straight in my head. You helped me figure it all out and I do appreciate your help. If I had one of those plans and wanted to sell it, I would ask what the market would bear also. This plan is a blessing at any price for someone that doesn't have a way to connect in their living areas. This plan could be used to run your household computers, tv's and what have you. In that scenario it would pay for itself in a few months.
Yeah I'd say if u didn't want the att iPad plan but wanted unlimited you could try Verizon. From my knowledge a phone sim can be put into a iPad and get lte. The 3G is throttled though
I believe you can't create hotspots using ATT unlimited data, you have to switch to one of their mobile share or other data plans with hotspot to use the feature.
Yeah this has the potential to lose the unlimited. I dont think you are "supposed" to do the sim swapping. But so many people do. I like my unlimited so I will not be swapping it to another device anytime soon

Every year around this time I get inundated with a simple question: what camera should I buy? It's a tough question, and even I struggle sometimes finding the perfect fit. But whether you're buying for yourself or someone else, there are some spectacular deals right now that will get you a high-end camera for some of the lowest prices we've seen in years.
Here are the best deals out there right now and the ones I'm recommending most to my family and friends.
Canon Rebel T6 With 2 Lenses for $329, SAVE $420
Over the past few weeks Canon has had blowout sales on its refurbished DSLRs, and they're by far the best deal going right now if you want an entry-level DSLR. While most of the models are sold out already, you can get the Canon T6 with the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens as well as the Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III zoom lens for just $329.99 direct from Canon.com. That will cover most people's needs and for far less than the camera typically costs by itself.
We're big fans of buying refurbished, especially in this case; Canon's customer service is as good as it gets and these all come with the same 1-year warranty as when you're buying new. This deal would be one of our favorites if it cost $429, so at this price we recommend you snap it up immediately because it will not last.
Nikon D3400 + 2 Lenses + Free Accessories for $596, SAVE $400
While mirrorless cameras are exciting, a classic DSLR is still what most people prefer. This combo gives you Nikon's newest entry-level DSLR, the D3400, as well as two zoom lenses that will cover most of your needs all for under $600 at B&H, with a free camera bag and memory card to boot. That's everything you'll need for $400 less than normal.
The D3400 may ostensibly be Nikon's entry-level DSLR, but it's capable of spectacular shots in the right condition and will blow your smartphone out of the water. It's fast, autofocuses quickly, and has Nikon's helpful Guide mode that makes the camera as easy to operate as any point-and-shoot. Whether you're a beginner just learning the ropes or a more advanced shooter who wants a deal, this is a good one.
Panasonic FZ300 + Free Accessories for $497, SAVE $100
Some people just love having a camera with tons of optical zoom. For that a point-and-shoot is still the way to go. The FZ300 is one of our favorite superzoom cameras because it's got a 24x zoom lens that's better than almost every other superzoom on the market, and it can take 4K video. It's $100 off everywhere, but this deal at Adorama also tosses in a bag, memory card, and cleaning kit for free. And with any Panasonic camera purchase you can mail in a rebate to triple your manufacturer warranty from one year to three.
Olympus E-PL7 + 2 Lenses for $499, SAVE $100
The Olympus E-PL7 is stylish and compact, and is great for anyone who wants DSLR-level image quality but without the DSLR-level bulk. This deal gets you the mid-range E-PL7 with its standard 14-42mm kit lens and the 40-150mm f/4-5.6 zoom lens all for just $499 at Adorama. That's a fantastic deal, given that the camera and the 14-42mm kit lens by themselves cost $699 when the camera launched. If you want to save a bit more you can skip the 40-150mm lens and save another $100, but we recommend picking it up.
Sony A6000 + Kit Lens + Free Accessories for $549, SAVE $200
Sony's A6000 is an excellent all-around camera that can pretty much do it all. It's fast, it has speedy autofocus, it's great in low light, and it's easy to use. We're particularly fond of the excellent electronic viewfinder and the compact size. This deal gets you the camera, a 16GB memory card, Sony's 16-50mm power zoom lens, a camera bag, and some basic accessories like a cleaning kit for just $548 at Adorama. You can also add in another 55-210mm zoom lens for $150 more, or swap out the free bag and memory card for a $50 gift card and pick your own.
Panasonic GX85 + 2 Lenses + $100 Gift Card for $697, SAVE $450
We recently named the Panasonic GX85 the best camera for the money, and this deal underscores that beautifully. For under $700 you get the camera, the basic 14-42mm kit lens, Panasonic's 40-150mm zoom lens, and a $100 gift card for just $697 at Adorama. That's a phenomenal deal. We love almost everything about the GX85, but we're particular fond of its ability to shoot crisp 4K video. It's the perfect do-it-all camera for new parents who want both stills and video.
Sony A5000 + Kit Lens + Free Accessories for $348, SAVE $200
The Sony A5000 is about as entry-level as it gets, but it's also at a rock-bottom price right now. For $348 you get a compact, speedy interchangeable lens camera that takes great photos in low light and is super easy to use. For a brand-new camera that's incredible, and this bundle also gets you a camera bag, 16GB memory card, and a hatful of accessories for less than $350.

This past weekend, I hoofed it to Old Navy to get my girls' spring/summer wardrobe up to date. While I'm devastated to learn that once you hit size 6, the dresses get a little…racier than I'd like (seriously, a six year-old does not need ruching at the chest to make anything look bigger) I'm happy to see that the little girl collection is still terrific. So we went a little sundress happy.
I thought I'd share the 3 cute dresses we found, all under $17. Whoo!
1. The floral tiered sundress (above) is sweet and just a little swingy in a nice comfy cotton. I like the cross-straps in the back, which keep the straps from slipping off little shoulders.
2. The ruffled print sundress
is not something I would have thought to grab, but my daughter insisted
and I let her try it on. I'm glad she did; the teal fabric adorable and the
ruffles are way more subtle than they look on the website. It's the
first thing she wanted to wear on Sunday, and I have the Mother's Day
photos to prove it.
3. My younger daughter scor
in lovely sky blue and white floral print. I only see an orange butterfly print on the
website, but either way, it's a nice easy a-line tunic cut–the kind of thing that
looks good over leggings or jeans when the kids start to outgrow the
dress. Best of all? This one's just $9.50.
Happy shopping mamas. Enjoy those cute little girl knees. –Liz

Historic District Downtown Apartment

St. Augustine, Florida
Hello, I have owned and managed properties for over 15 years. Previously I was a Banker for 15 years. I also owned a very successful St. Augustine home d�����������cor store!
Location, Location, Location!
Open the gates to your private courtyard past the patio onto the sun deck and enter this charming Victorian apartment Casa de San Marcos that will accommodate up to 6.
We were looking for a unique place to stay with our family for an extended "history field trip." This darling little apartment was perfect for our family. We have four school-age children who fit just fine up in the cute loft and the master bedroom was a perfect retreat for us (mom & dad). The kitchen and bathroom were totally modern but the historic charm (windows, wood floors, balcony) remained. There were plenty of towels and kitchen necessities. The washer and dryer (though down the flight of stairs) were so helpful to have on site.
We walked EVERYWHERE from this location; it was so close to all the historic sites, shopping and restaurants. The bakery below was delightful and the cupcakes were delicious.
The rental agency was a pleasure to deal with and we highly recommend this property!!
We have never been to St. Augustine and wanted to stay in the city. Very happy with the location - we walked everywhere and never had a concern about where we would park. The apartment is nicely sized and comfortable - we sat on the veranda a lot enjoying the city life. Check in was simple and easy and communications from the property manager were clear.
My reason for not giving the property 5 stars is because it really needs a good hands and knees cleaning.
We spent three nights and would absolutely book again for a future visit to town.
Easy walk to the historic district and a number of restaurants. We really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony but didn't expect San Marco Ave to be so busy/noisy. As an older couple we probably would not return, because of the steep stairs going up to the apartment and also the very difficult spiral staircase leading up to the loft.
I loved staying here! The location was perfect and I really enjoyed walking the neighborhood and easily getting downtown. I especially liked Carrera Wine Cellar, located three blocks south of the apartment and offering wine classes and great wine. I liked the Rain Tree Restaurant, just two blocks north and Luli's Cupcake Shop is also wonderful! The apartment is full of character and very comfortable, and having the parking places is great. Marty and Cindy at First Choice Rental were extremely helpful and so informative about the area. I am already looking forward to my next visit!
Within walking distance of everything for five different tastes of fun!! Accommodations were fabulous, balcony "people watching" with Christmas lights in background provided entertainment during down time, which there wasn't much of. Would surely stay at Casa San Marco every time I can get away!

Expect the Unexpected:
Don't let pneumococcal pneumonia strike
Pneumonia can affect anyone. Could you do more to protect yourself against pneumonia?
What is pneumonia?
Up to 1 in every 100 UK adults develops each year. Pneumonia refers to an infection of the lungs, however there are different types. Pneumonia can be caused by an infection from bacteria, viruses of fungi, which irritate the lungs. This irritation causes the tiny air sacs in your lungs to become inflamed and swell up with fluid.
The most common cause of pneumonia is a pneumococcal infection, due to bacteria called Streptococcus pneumonia.
Treatment of pneumonia
Pneumonia needs to be taken seriously, even if you are young, healthy or active.
Mild pneumonia can usually be treated at home with rest, antibiotics and by drinking plenty of fluids and most people will recover fully after treatment.
More severe pneumonia can lead to complications and may need hospital treatment. It's estimated pneumonia was responsible for an estimated 221,000 adult hospital admissions in England, approximately 1 in 5 were adults under 65 years of age.

Romance... I've never been very good at writing it, I fear. My internal monitor has a low tolerance for it, though perhaps this simply means that I am a sap and heart and trying to fight it, who knows. Stories with 'story book romances' tend to annoy me. I do like unusual love stories, though, especially when they are only a single part of a greater tale and yet manage to hold their own. I also love the ever-so-rare and elusive platonic loves, but that has little to do with the following. This is a romance, or a piece of one at any rate. Most romances center around two people meeting and falling in love. This is a bit different. There is also a lot of background that has been left out intentionally. This makes the tale very experimental, and yet I hope it works. Critiques and suggestions are very welcome.Yes, Em, I wrote this for you. Yes, it is about the Sparrow you know.
*Poem* The rather sad tale of a man who fell in love with a female fae for one night, only to awaken to her vanished from his side. Could be sung as a song, for that is how it originally was written. I wrote this very late one night scribbled on the back of an article about human psychology from adolescence. Strange when inspiration strikes and even stranger is the result. Critique if you so wish.
This is a story of heroes, reluctant and voluntary. This is a story of love, lucky and unlucky. This is a story of fate and being all that you can be, whether it be easy or not, whether it seems right or not. We are who we are and will always be, in life, in death and beyond. http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/libr/r/i/rivana/atirien00.html.html
Innocence is not justice, and the price of assumption can sometimes cost more than you know.
Follows after the fashion of Empyreal Light and Fanged Kiss. It's shorter though.
This poem was written as a sort of exchange between two of my lover characters. I suppose it could work interchangably; it could be from either the male or the female viewpoint. It's probably the only rhyming poem you'll ever see from me. I'm not much of a rhyme person; I've never been able to get them to my satisfaction, so I tend to ignore them.
Yes, I admit it. I am infatuated with rain!! It's the perfect element, don't you think? Another story in the rain, this is about having that angel to protect you always. Whoever said guardians angels are never seen must not have read my story.
Poem about a Mystery Man in the narrator's life. Please leave comments or suggestions!!!
A recently completed poem in iambic quadrameter. Critiques would be greatly appreciated. I am currently debating the addition of a few stanzas as well as overall expansion. (A 2004 piece)
Cleo and Shado drabble of how much they hate that they love and hate each other. Lots of fun. Copyright to me, thanks.
Just as always, this stroy is better read then summarized. by now you should have an idea of the story, so just go read it. Leave a comment too please.
One technology men dream of ( and I do mean men) is the idea of the the idea of sex free of any consequences. This theme was broached in star treks holodecks but never really got into ( and with reason) this poem is not really fan fiction but a mournful monologue of a artifice having to deal with been the ultimate in the pornographic "arts" It is meant to be preformed,( if I ever create a play for it) but like any part of a play, can be read. I don't think of the poem itself as erotic but some people might take it so. Feel free to use it in an audition, it will certainly be original
Same as before, promise to be my usual and getting more into the romance.
He is a unicorn, perfect, stunning, wonderful. I am his beautiful virgin maiden, with hair of gold and skin of pale porcelain. I loathe him will every piece of my shattered soul.
This story was written with the intention of creating a rushing sensation as well as for venting purposes and dishing out ideas. Enjoy.
this story is dedicated to my friend Jace (whose comments are scattered throughout my writings here). he was the sole inspiration for this piece, and it is his birthday present from me. he's an awesome writer, and i'm trying to get him to post his stuff! (hint hint). anyway, enjoy the story...

She sent six people to Earth. Five othere were sacrificed by her hand. A young man was condemned to centuries of loneliness for lack of faith. They all took an oath that is unbreakable, to save a world from eternal darkness. Now they must return home as the Heart of Atirien beckons. http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/libr/r/i/rivana/atirien00.html.html

LED Conversions are simple. We will replace all of your old technology halogen based lighting bulbs with modern day technology LED Bulbs. Our LED Bulbs are rated for as much as 60,000 hours of life. While our professional team members are performing the LED Conversion they will also repair any other damages so that when we leave your lighting system is like brand new.
LED Conversions range from $45 a bulb up to $125 per bulb
Converting your old outdoor or landscape lighting system into new LED Technology has never been easier, or smarter to do. Usually halogen bulbs use about $1 per month per bulb. So, if you had 10 landscape lights you would spend $10 a month, and $120 a year to power those lights. IF you switched to LED Technology, you would spend around $1 per bulb per year to run. So, on average you would spend $10 a year, saving you over $100 a year, and $1,000 over ten years. Outdoor Comforts is a professional outdoor and landscape lighting service company that offers full coverage services. We have been installing outdoor lighting systems for over 7 years and only rely on the strongest products available to us.
LED technology allows us to tweak and customize the light emitting modules inside the bulb housing. We can manipulate the color omitted; 2,800K - 5,000K. We can manipulate the range of spread of the light; from 45% angle - 120% angle.
These differences allows us to perfectly match what the classic halogen light bulbs emits. Meaning you will not be able to tell the difference between the LED and the old Halogen bulbs. Actually, most of our clients like the LED bulbs better when we use unique bulbs to accomplish a lighting design that was never possible before LED Technology.
Interested in an Annual Service Plan?
Our all inclusive* Annual Service Plan covers most damages, and repairs necessary in keeping up your landscape lighting system hassle and worry free. Our trained team will make scheduled visits to your property and do complete check ups on every part of your system. They will then leave a report for you explaining repairs and notes.

Denver Broncos vs. Indianapolis
For the Denver Broncos they're heading into the postseason after a 10-6 season despite a 31-3 loss to Green Bay over the weekend after head coach Mike Shanahan held out Jake Plummer, Clinton Portis and other stars knowing that the outcome wouldn't change their #6 seed.
The move was wise as they looked to protect their stars heading into the playoffs, but unfortunately the one thing the Broncos did do was give Indianapolis a reason to hand the ball off frequently to Edgerrin James. Packers runningback Ahman Green rushed for a team record 218-yards and two touchdowns and did a number against a Denver defense that will be in big trouble if they don't play better this weekend against the Colts.
However if you ask Denver defensive endTrevor Pryce, he'll tell you his team isn't worried.
"Nope," Pryce told the Daily Camera when asked if Denver's defensive struggles meant anything. "Absolutely not, because they were not the Colts, they were the Packers. That's done and gone, it's over with."
Denver tight end Shannon Sharpe is also pretty confident heading into the postseason.
"With the weapons that we have on offense and knowing that our defense can go out there and shut anybody down," Sharpe told the paper. "We're going to be difficult to beat. We'll be ready."
Meanwhile in Indianapolis Tony Dungy's team is looking to avoid another early exit from the postseason. Heading into their showdown against the Broncos they're likely remembering their 31-17 defeat at the RCA Dome back on December 21st, their worst loss of the season.
Denver held the Colts to 183-yards, the fewest by an Indy team since 1998 and Peyton Manning and company couldn't handle Denver's blitzes and defensive schemes.
They'll now be looking to get even.
"What could be more incentive than that?" Colts tight end Marcus Pollard told the Rocky Mountain News on Sunday.
Unfortunately part of what the Colts will be battling is themselves when they take the field this weekend. They have lost all three playoff games since Manning took over at quarterback in 1998.
"A lot of people are probably saying, 'They don't want to play Denver,' because they pretty much handed it to us the first time," Colts quarterback Peyton Manning told the newspaper. "We have to play better. We have to have a good week of practice, change some things and play better."
The team will also look to do something they have never done, and that's win on the road, in the same city, twice in the same season.
Denver has had three other chances. In 1983, it lost twice at Seattle, the second time in a wild-card rematch.
In 1993, it lost in back-to-back weeks vs. the Raiders, the second time in a wild-card showdown.
And in 1997, Denver split games at Kansas City, losing during the regular season but winning the division playoff.
"We're on the road the whole playoffs, and we need three wins on the road,' said Portis, who reports he is fully recovered from the high-ankle sprain he suffered Dec. 14 during Denver's overtime victory over Cleveland. "So we've got to go get it.'
Oddsmakers have established the Colts as three-point favorites for what will be the teams' first postseason meeting, at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the RCA Dome.
Tennessee vs. Baltimore
The Titans have a big question mark heading into the postseason, and that's whether or not quarterback Steve McNair can get them back to the big game.
McNair sat out last weekend's game against Tampa Bay and watched teammate Neil O'Donnel play well during the Titans' 33-13 victory over the Buccaneers. McNair threw for 232-yards and two touchdowns in McNair's absence, and will likely retire after Tennessee concludes the postseason.
Now he's hoping to be there to watch McNair take a knee to finish off a Superbowl win.
''I've got two AFC Championship rings, I don't have a Super Bowl ring,'' O'Donnell told the Tennessean. "He deserves it all. He does. He's the one that put us in position to go all the way. Steve should take the knee. I'll carry Steve off.''
McNair did not practice last week due to a cracked bone spur in his left ankle and a strained right calf, injuries which also kept him out of the Dec. 14 game vs. Buffalo.
''We elected to go with Neil over Steve to rest Steve,'' Titans Coach Jeff Fisher told the newspaper. ''Steve was better today than he was last week … but we felt that our best chance to have success in the postseason was to give Steve an extra opportunity to rest.''
Meanwhile Brian Billick's club is looking forward to another shot at the postseason after a loss by the Cincinnati Bengals assured his team of clincing the AFC North title.
"I tried not to watch it," Billick said when asked if he watched the Cincinnati game. "I was in my hotel room. My wife and daughters were in the other room and I tried to ignore it, but they kept screaming and yelling and shouting."
