Sarpy County authorities were shocked when they followed up on a tip that showed a 44 year old man smoking pot with his two sons. Sheriff’s Lt. Steve Grabowski (gra-BOW-skee) says they followed up on the tip and found more than 90 videos showing 44 year old David Johnson of Gretna and his 17 and 20 year old sons smoking pot. Lt. Grabowski says it appears that smoking pot with the boys was a family activity.
“The father really didn’t see any harm in doing what he was doing. I suppose like a father and a son would be playing baseball or playing catch or football or something like that. It was just something he participated in with his children.”
Lt. Grabowski says they were also shocked at what they found in the basement.
“We ended up with about 50 different bongs or smoking pipes or water pipes out of the basement too so they were pretty heavily into it.”
Lt. Grabowski says the internet is becoming more of a tool for law enforcement investigations.
“That is public domain so it can be traced back at times so they have to be kind of careful especially if they are committing a crime and posting that crime on YouTube.”
Lt. Grabowski says when they received the tip about the pot smoking videos, it caused a raised eyebrow.
“Quite frankly when people told us we kind of went into it with a jaundice eye but then we saw what we saw and yes it was there and yes it was true.”
David Johnson and his 20 year old son were arrested. The 17 year old was placed in state services.

The soft cushions make Siesta Classic the typical easy chair, but the light frame gives the chair a beautiful sense of lightness. Together, the cushions and the slightly flexible frame ensure a very high level of seating comfort. The result? Siesta Classic is the perfect seat for relaxation, the perfect spot for a classic siesta.
Designed by an icon
In 1965 Ingmar Relling designed his greatest creation: the Siesta chair. The chair played an important part of the Norwegian furniture industry’s growth and international success in the mid 1900s. Today Siesta stands out as an internationally recognized classic and a Norwegian icon.

The Warner Bros. label kicked off San Diego Comic-Con with its second annual Scare Diego, a panel so frightening a live cockroach skittered across the stage, terrifying both convention-goers and a horror mainstay, director James Wan.
New Line brought footage from three future films including “The Nun,” “The Curse of La Llorona,” and the film most fans were waiting with baited breath for, “It: Chapter Two.” Sadly, no one from the “It” sequel was in attendance at Comic-Con. However, a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the film’s current production was screened.
Returning director Andy Muschietti appeared on screen and dedicated a short reel of footage to the Scare Diego fanatics, promising that this film will be even more horrific than the last. “It’s gonna be scarier,” said Muschietti. “It’s gonna be a more intense experience, so bring your adult diapers to the theater.”
While the actual “It 2” goodies were kept under wraps, fans went nuts when a clip showing Bill Hader playing adult Richie Tozier, giving his best “Stranger Things’” Finn Wolfhard. Mimicking the younger actor’s lip chewing pretty perfectly, Hader entered the scene with a, “Sup losers! Sooooo… what do you guys want to talk about?”
Next up was “The Curse of La Llorona” a ’70s-set feature centered on the famous Mexican folklore of the weeping woman. For the uninitiated, director Michael Chaves briefly described the famous ghost. “If you’re Hispanic you probably heard [this story] from your abuela. And she told it, usually with a warning of, ‘you’d better be good, you’d better behave or La Llorona is gonna get you.’ It’s been passed down through generations. It’s been scaring kids for years.”
Legend has it, a woman with two children and a seemingly perfect life was so distraught after she caught her husband cheating that she drowned her two kids. When she realized what she’d done, she threw herself in a river. After that, she was cursed to walk the earth forever looking for replacement children.
Representing the story of La Llorona correctly was clearly important to the cast, many of whom professed they 100% believed in the spirit. “This has been done with so much respect, you will be so proud,” said cast member Patricia Velasquez.
The timeliness of the story about a spirit separating kids from their parents was not lost on actor Raymond Cruz. “It’s a very timely film. It takes place in the ’70s, but La Llorona predates Trump by 200 years of separating Mexican children from their parents,” said Cruz.
“The Curse of La Llorona” will hit theaters on April 19, 2019.
Following “La Llorona” was the cast and crew of “The Nun” freaking the hell out of the audience by filling the auditorium with actors in costume as nuns. The horror movie, which debuts on Sept. 7, 2018, fills in the backstory for the nun character created in Wan’s “The Conjuring” series.
Director Corin Hardy presented some truly terrifying footage filmed on location in Romania, where he had his own supernatural experience. Hardy swears that while filming “The Nun” in an ancient European castle, he ran into not one, but two ghosts on the set.
The night closed with the news of yet another “Annabelle” film in production, thus marking the third movie in the “Annabelle” series. Gary Dauberman will direct the new film, set inside the Warren’s infamous artifact room. Wan joked that this flick was basically “A Night in the Museum” but with Annabelle. The next addition to New Line will open next summer.

“Soft acoustics, catchy melodies and deeply addicting vocals” – The Music Files
Unique and poignant vocals announce the arrival of Jack Rasmussen’s soulful indie rock sound, This continues to shine through with his latest track City Road.
Having previously supported the likes of The Bluetones and Sean Ryder, Jack is continuing a meteoric start to his solo career. Following the release of his debut single Broken Youth earlier this year, the artist has gained support from BBC Introducing and has already amassed close to 20,000 streams on Spotify alone.
The road to Melbourne
Exploring the emotions of leaving home comforts and delving into a new life, City Road follows Jack’s journey to Melbourne, Australia where he first picked up an instrument and started singing.
He describes “that decision to move to Melbourne has shaped everything I do now, and this musical journey I’m on.” This release is held close to his heart, it showcases the reasons behind his musical ambition, something he’s never been able to express in the past. He has now learned to write more open and honest lyrics.
Jack continues about how his time in Melbourne shaped him: “It’s times like these that taught me to never say never.”
There is a beauty and honesty about this track. Well worth a listen.
City Road was recorded with John Martindale at Blast Studios, Newcastle (The Pale White, Maximo Park etc).
Liam Cooke (guitars) and Josh West (bass / drums), both also ex-Velvet, feature on the record.

Our return to Glasgow almost two weeks later, Wednesday 10 July. Joined by Tanya (to crew on Phyllis) who had travelled from North Wales to meet up at Warrington Bank Quay before we picked up Tom at Preston railway station. We arrived early afternoon at Dumbarton and were met by Douglas, our host at the marina. Both Phyllis and Spray had been well looked after at Sandpoint Marina. Especially considering what the river can do to the boats if they are not looked after.
For those who aren't aware Sandpoint was the place where the Cutty Sark was built. By the time we got ourselves and the boats sorted we joined Douglas for a beer and something to eat in the town.
The following day saw our breakfast at Denny's, the Denny Ship Model Experiment Tank (the last building remaining from the shipbuilding days) which forms part of the Scottish Maritime Museum. After breakfast, a must-visit as this was the first commercial ship model testing tank built in the world and it retains many original features today: a water tank as long as a football pitch, clay moulding beds for casting wax model ship hulls and the original Victorian machinery used for shaping models.
Then off to the supermarket for victualling the boats with the afternoon on Douglas's RIB upriver to see the upper Clyde and Big Bertha (huge crane), the paddle steamer Waverley and the new navy ship builds by BAE.
A visit too, for Tanya and Tom to the recently opened Glasgow Distillery - No Whiskey there yet! While Douglas and Kevin visited the wonderful River Side museum and went aboard the tall ship 'Glenlee'. That evening we all enjoyed a wonderful meal at the 'Sugarboat', down the line in Helensburgh. Highly recommended.
Friday 12 July and we said our goodbyes to Douglas and headed down the Clyde. In harmony with the music played by Tanya on her Penny Whistle, as she did on every departure whilst on the Clyde. A great sail towards the Isle of Bute with berthing at Port Bannatyne. A short bus ride to Rothesay for a visit to the famous and not to missed, Victorian toilets. And then an evening meal in a local hostelry prior to catching a taxi back to the marina.
The following day we departed, to Tanya's music, to sail through the Kyles of Bute. What a marvellous passage along the fjord passing through the Burnt Islands before sailing south past Tighnabruaich and Kames in the West Kyle. It's here that a sudden wind shift saw Phyllis's jib part from the end of the bowsprit. A swift dropping of the halyard and pulling in of the sail sorted it all out in double-quick fashion.
Then around Ardlamont Point and in a northwesterly direction on Loch Fyne brought us to one of the most astonishing marinas on the Clyde, Portavadie. The complex was originally built for the purpose of constructing concrete oil rigs. After an immediate move to steel platforms, the facility became redundant and after a little time, it was developed to a marina complex, opened in 2010. Five-star luxury apartments, private sauna facilities, a restaurant and conference centre.
Never the less the rock blasting at Portavadie and the resulting very deep water intended for building oil platforms has left an excellent and well-sheltered marina. Well worth a visit, a refuel, an evening meal and breakfast.
Sunday 14 July and we started our homeward bound sail. Exceptionally becalmed conditions saw us motor-sail southwards to Troon. Another well-protected marina and a wonderful seafood meal in a very busy Scott's Restaurant on the marina complex.
Monday and we ventured along the South Ayrshire coastline passing Ayr, Turnberry Golf Course with Alsa Craig always within sight in the far distance. Girvan was our next port of call en route to Port Patrick and then onto Peel (IOM). Well, that was the plan! A meal on board before a restful night and an early start.
Time to depart, engines started and into gear. Phyllis would not budge! Forward and reverse gears were selected, still, no way would she would go! The gearbox was suspected. The harbour master contacted as well as the local ship repairers and marine engineers. Alas, it was the Scottish wake weeks and no one was available to help. Reluctantly Phyllis was left in Girvan and everyone, Tanya, Kevin & Tom started on our way home on Spray.
The plan was now to return to Deganwy as quickly as possible so the next leg saw us landfall in Peel (IOM) in the wee hours and then after some rest and recovery an evening departure directly to Deganwy. Arriving late afternoon on Thursday 18 July. Two and half days after leaving Phyllis in Girvan.
It's another story but Phyllis was eventually repaired after a couple of trips back to Girvan before moving her to Troon for approx six weeks prior to winter berthing Phyllis in the inner Clyde at Largs Marina, where she is now currently berthed until the spring of 2020.

Ports of Auckland and four employees have agreed a confidential settlement over privacy complaints.
Information leaks about port workers were made during the bitter industrial dispute between the Auckland Council-controlled port company and the Maritime Union.
The dispute featured to a series of lockouts and strikes and is still unresolved.
The highest profile leak, published on Cameron Slater’s Whale Oil blog, involved striking port worker Cecil Walker and the time-off granted in 2007 and 2008 when his late wife was terminally ill.

This issue is carried on the strength of “Lost Men”, “…Where There is No Sanctuary”, and “A Suit of Haidrah Skin”. Respectively, these represent a fantastic version of a grown up Peter Pan and two wonderful fantasy/sci-fi mashups that harken back to the best of the pulp adventures. “The Vault of Phalos” presents a wonderfully wrought investigation into a death cult that worships an a filth god with an unfortunately bland name, and “The Bubbcat” gives a straight near-future sci-fi tale that hums with an energy and joie-de-vivre that makes it a joy to read. These six tales alone make this issue of Cirsova well worth the price.
When you add in “The Lady of the Amorous City”, with its Arthurian/Lovecraftian mix, and a few stories that skirt the edge of excellence without quite crossing the line, you can forgive the inclusion of a few stinkers. Both “The Sands of Rubal-Khali” and “The Dust of Truth” are let down by odd choices in characterizations, but may appeal to those for whom the identity of the protagonists carries more weight that the overall quality of the story and writing.
No review of this issue of Cirsova Magazine would be complete without mentioning that it includes the third installment of James Hutchings’ jaw-dropping poetic retelling of “A Princess of Mars”. Like most Americans, my potential love of good poetry was strangled in the cradle by a bizarre affection among the ivory-tower types for opaque word craft, literary gimmickry, and a desire for to lip-biting and back of the hand to the forehead style “search for meaning”. Hutchings doesn’t let any of that get in the way of a great tale spun with adroit mastery of the form. His talent for poetry as a craft is damn near Kipling-esque. Sure, this work lacks Kipling’s insight into the human condition, but that’s not the point of the exercise, is it? The point is John Carter on Mars fighting for the Daughter of A Thousand Jedaks, man! The editor of this magazine knew what he was doing when he spread this story out over several issues, because this alone will keep me returning to Cirsova regardless of the quality of the rest of the stories.
Do yourself a favor and get the whole Cirsova collection for some amazing story telling in a nearly lost style.

The Caucasus mountains on the north and northeast divides it from Circassia; on the southeast it is bounded by Mingrelia; and on the southwest by the Black Sea. Though the country is generally mountainous, with dense forests of oak and walnut, there are some deep, well-watered valleys, and the climate is mild. The soil is fertile, producing wheat, maize, grapes, figs, pomegranates and wine. Cattle and horses are bred. Honey is produced; and excellent arms are made. This country was subdued (c. 550) by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I, who introduced Christianity. Largely associated with Western Georgia, it was ruled by Georgian dynasties from 735 to the 15th century, when the region was conquered by the Ottoman Turks and became partially Muslim. The Russians acquired possession of it piecemeal between 1829 and 1842, but their power was not firmly established until after 1864. Large numbers emigrated to the Turkish empire in 1864 and 1878 as a result of Russian oppression.
Originally a Western Georgian region inhabited primarily by indigenous Georgians (48% of its 500,000 population ) and Abkhazians (17%), Abkhazia declared independence from Georgia on July 23, 1992, though this was not internationally recognized. Civil strife followed in 1992-1993, in which Abkhazian guerilla forces helped by Russian regular forces and Chechen paramilitaries drove out newly estabilished Georgian National Guard units. This led to a campaign of ethnic cleansing directed against the Georgian population, resulting in some 10 thousand casualties and 250 thousand more people fleeing their homes.
A new constitution adopted on 4 November 1994 declared Abkhaz sovereignty. Elections were held on 23 November 1996 but these were not recognised by the Georgian government or the international community. The CIS imposed economic sanctions in January 1996.

Organize Your Personal Library with Google Drive: Shopping at Book Fairs
Book fair season is fast approaching, and it’s time to start clearing out some space for all the finds we’ll be bringing home. Several years ago, before I got organized, I would stand at the tables full of novels, biographies, paperbacks and travel books and try to remember if I already had a book in my collection. Sometimes I’d get home and shake my head that I’d bought a third copy of Eat, Pray, Love or a C.S. Lewis book. It was time to stop the madness.
If you’re a book lover, you probably struggle with book purchases because you’ve got limited shelf space. Maybe, like me, you’re looking for specific books to add to your collection. You’ve probably got a few books that you’d be thrilled to find for $1 at a book fair.
Print Meets Digital
Let’s get your personal library organized and accessible! Open a new Google Sheet in your Drive and create columns for title, author, publication year, genre and any other pertinent information. You might want to mention the format (paperback/hardback) if you’ve got one copy but are looking for another. It might take you some time to input every volume in your collection, but the payoff will be huge. Plus, what else are you going to do while marathon watching episodes of House for hours? Make your Netflix time really useful!
Once you’ve added your collection, it’s easy to search and alphabetize the titles or sort by author. You can sort by publication year and see some areas where your collection might be lacking. When you sort by genre, you might get a harsh reminder of all those self-help books you bought last year. Regardless, you’ll have your whole collection at your fingertips!

The final step that really makes this project worth all the time is to download the free Google Drive app from the iTunes store.

I've got some stuff lined up to talk about later in the week, so hopefully I can get all of that cranked out before Thanksgiving. My NaNoWriMo bid is falling a bit behind, so that's a thing I'm going to have to rectify shortly. My NaGaDeMon efforts (read: finishing the game I've been working on for significantly longer than a month) are also falling a bit behind, but we've come up with some interesting developments there as well. I'll have to mark that down as an additional topic of discussion, either here or on the Grand Heresy blog. On the plus side, at least NaBloPoMo is working out just fine, so overall National Masochist Project Month is going well.
Once this settles out, I'll probably turn down the article frequency to one or two pieces a week, with additional posts coming out whenever I feel inspired. Interestingly, it is not for want of topics. I have another dozen or so partially finished posts sitting in my drafts folder. The rub is that each of those takes some hours to sit down, research, and give the effort they are due. Hours that I presently don't have, for all of my other masochistic projects and deadlines.
Amusingly, a video showed up in my "recommended" section on youtube, so I thought I would share it here. Luke Crane is a really interesting guy, even outside of his work on Burning Wheel. Given my current situation, the topic seemed extremely relevant. I'll leave you with this, it's worth the watch if you have the time to do so.

Concerns have been raised over health services in Moray after the recent announcement of the temporary closure of Aberlour’s Fleming Hospital.
It was revealed earlier this month that a shortage of staff had led to the decision being made to temporarily close the Speyside hospital, due to happen on November 18.
Now, Highlands and Islands MSP Jamie Halcro Johnston has expressed his fear that Moray residents are being stripped of essential health care.
He cited Fleming Hospital and NHS Grampian’s admission that restoration of maternity services to Dr Gray’s hospital is a “growing challenge”.
Mr Johnstone said: “there is real concern that all we have seen in Moray is a systematic running-down of the local services and facilities people rely on.”
The imminent temporary closure of Fleming Hospital was reported to be due to staff levels being so low that the employees were exhausted from working through breaks and overtime to cover the gaps between shifts.
On November 23, a meeting will be held to discuss the future of Aberlour’s hospital and the impact it’s closure will have on the community.
After this, a public meeting will be scheduled.
NHS Grampian previously stressed the closure of Fleming Hospital was temporary.
A Scottish Government spokeswoman said recently that health secretary Jeane Freeman “remains committed to the reinstatement of paediatric and obstetric maternity services at Dr Gray’s”.

Inconel vs Stainless Steel Wire Mesh: Understanding the Differences
But when it comes to how your wire mesh will perform over time in a specific application, the alloy you use means everything. While stainless steel stands as one of the most widely used materials when weaving wire mesh, it's not always the right choice.
For this reason, you must explore specialty wire mesh alloys, such as Inconel.
W.S. Tyler believes you deserve peace of mind about your woven wire products. This is why we strive to share the experiences we've had over the past 150 years and educate customers like you on what they need to achieve accurate results.
With that, we wrote the following article to help you better understand the differences between Inconel and stainless steel so you can design the best possible solution. You will learn:
- How the wire mesh industry defines Inconel
- The benefits associated with Inconel wire mesh
- How the wire mesh industry defines stainless steel
- The benefits associated with stainless steel
- Which alloy makes sense for you
What Is Inconel?
Inconel is a wire mesh alloy that is considered an austenitic-nickel-chromium super alloy and is a trademark of the special metals corporation. At its core, Inconel is made up of nickel (76%), chromium (15.8%), and iron (7.2%).
Why Use Inconel Wire Mesh?
Inconel is categorized as a heat-resistant alloy; thus, it is typically reserved for applications that subject wire mesh to temperatures reaching 1800°F. This is particularly beneficial as more widely used alloys, such as various steels, tend to lose their corrosion-resistant and durable characteristics when applied to high temperatures.
To that end, Inconel also features adequate corrosion resistance. The inclusion of chromium allows Inconel to combat corrosion from chloride.
What Is Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel is a wire mesh steel alloy that consists of a specific amount of carbon. It also contains traces of chromium which must be added when the steel is in a molten state, as it does not naturally exist in steel.
Created in the early 1900s, the properties of stainless steel have been scientifically calculated. On top of its many versatile qualities, this is why it is one of the most widely used alloys in the wire mesh industry.
That said, wire mesh is typically woven from a 300- or 400-series stainless steel.
300 Series Stainless Steel:
400 Series Stainless Steel:
Why Use Stainless Steel Wire Mesh?
Much like Inconel, the inclusion of chromium allows stainless steel to provide desirable corrosion-resistant qualities. This is particularly beneficial when your wire mesh will come into contact with industrial alkaline and acidic substances.
Stainless steel also provides the heat resistance needed to withstand applications up to 1600°F. It does so while maintaining peak performance and combating oxidation.
Wire mesh woven from 300 series or 400 series stainless steel also affords a versatile level of durability. Whether screening abrasive sediments or applying high-impact brute force, stainless steel wire mesh will perform in most applications.
What Alloy Should I Use?
First and foremost, you must consider the cost when weighing the pros and cons to determine what materials can fit your budgetary restrictions. Having said that, Inconel has a substantially higher price tag than stainless steel.
Now, in terms of performance, Inconel carries superior corrosion resistance and overall strength. But its strength is only better than stainless steel when the mesh is subjected to extreme heat.
At more tolerable temperatures, stainless steel wire mesh will provide more desirable strength.
So if you are applying your wire mesh to a high-heat environment, such as a jet engine, Inconel will be the ideal option. But if you are seeking a wire mesh solution that provides desirable durability at moderate temperatures, stainless steel is the better option in terms of performance and cost-effectiveness.
Deliver Accurate and Optimal Flowrate With the Right Weave
Inconel is a specialty wire mesh alloy that provides corrosion and heat resistance to withstand industrial applications that reach temperatures of 1800°F. Stainless steel, on the other hand, provides slightly less heat resistant qualities but is more feasible for more moderate temperatures no higher than 1600°F.
Once you determine an alloy that is right for you, your next step would be to determine what weave pattern you will implement. This will play a critical role in how well your mesh screens/filters unwanted matter and an even more significant role in the flow rate throughout your process.
W.S. Tyler has been a proud leader of the wire mesh industry for over 150 years and wants to help you gain confidence in the wire mesh you use so you can pass on its value to the products you supply your customers.

The Kaduna State Police Command has rubbished information circulating on the social media that an Igbo boy was burnt alive in Kaduna by a mob.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Ali Janga, in a statement released by spokesperson for the command, DSP Yakubu Sabo, on Wednesday, said news of the incident making the rounds on the social media were fake.
The statement read, “The writer consciously avoided giving details of the location and name of people involved to paint his fictitious story.
“The command wishes to state that there was no report of such incident and the story is entirely a fabrication, maliciously intended to incite crisis and create fear in the minds of unsuspecting citizens.”
Janga said the command will punish anyone or group in habit of causing chaos in the state.

Seat belt arguments to go before court
Sun | Local
OLYMPIA (AP) -- A challenge to a $101 seat-belt ticket could wind up costing Washington state and local government millions of dollars, overturning hundreds of criminal cases and voiding a law that safety advocates credit for saving more than 100 lives a year.
Today, the Washington state Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether Skagit County Superior Court Judge Susan Cook was right when she ruled last year that the state's seat-belt law is unconstitutional.
"We don't want to pick people off the highway with severe injuries because they weren't wearing a seat belt," Pam Loginsky, a staff attorney for the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, told The News-Tribune of Tacoma.
If Trevor Eckblad loses his challenge to the law, he'll likely stand trial for unlawful possession of a firearm, an unhappy prospect for a man with two previous felony convictions.
Eckblad was riding in a pickup truck pulled over by the Washington State Patrol on Highway 20 in Skagit County on Feb. 5, 2003.
The trooper had noticed that the other passenger in the truck wasn't wearing a seat belt. At the time, stopping a vehicle for a seat belt violation alone had only been allowed under state law for a few months.
The stop led to a search, turning up a handgun, a loaded magazine and a box of ammunition in a pillowcase under the seat, according to court records. The weapon was Eckblad's, a violation of state law for a convicted felon.
Susan Goolsbee, a Skagit County public defender, challenged the arrest, arguing that the seat belt law is unconstitutional because it is too vague.
Judge Cook agreed. Without the firearm, the charge was dropped. Judges in Snohomish County, Pacific County and the city of Fircrest have made similar rulings.
Erik Pederson, Skagit County's senior deputy prosecutor, appealed Cook's ruling. He's joined by the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys and the Washington Association of Sheriffs & Police Chiefs, organizations worried that they'd lose a new law-enforcement tool and dozens -- perhaps hundreds -- of criminal cases stemming from seat-belt stops.
On the other side are the Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and Bellingham attorney Eric Weight, who is representing Eckblad's side of the appeal.
Weight argues the Legislature fouled up when it wrote the seat belt law.
The law requires drivers and passengers to wear seat belts, but goes on to say that the requirement applies only to vehicles described in densely written federal standards. Those standards essentially require that all cars sold in the United States since the early 1970s must have seat belts.
The defense argues the average person could not easily find out whether a vehicle meets the standards.
Prosecutors scoff at that argument, noting that virtually all vehicles now have seat belts, and that the requirement to wear them is spelled out in the Washington Driver Guide and on freeway signs.
Although the challenge before the court is to a long-established part of the law, the real controversy is over the Legislature's 2002 move to make driving beltless a primary offense, meaning officers can pull motorists over for it. Before that, it was a secondary offense, meaning a ticket could only be issued after a stop for something else.
Thanks to the new law and an aggressive enforcement campaign, seat belt tickets increased from 59,637 in 2001 to 111,649 in 2002, according to the state Traffic Safety Commission.
It also helped drive seat belt usage up to 95 percent, the highest rate in the country, and has saved 140 lives in the past two years, said Jonna VanDyk, a commission spokeswoman.
But also it stirred up resentment among the thousands of people tagged with the $101 fine. That resentment derailed an attempt in the Legislature this year to solve the problem currently before the court.
If the law is overturned, the state would lose as much as $3 million a year in federal incentive money linked to the usage rate. The U.S. Department of Transportation would also require Washington to shift $4.5 million from construction projects to a public education campaign on seat belt use.
"I hope the court ruling doesn't go against us," said Sen. Bob Oke, R-Port Orchard said. "We would have no seat belt law -- period. And then people would start slacking off. And if we completely lose it, we would be hard-pressed to pass a seat belt law in the future.

How do you use balsamic vinegar?
Traditional balsamic vinegar can be used in tiny amounts as a condiment with cooked or cured meats, grilled fish, drizzled over fresh fruits and berries and even ice cream or other custard desserts—or even just sipped from tiny shot glasses at the end of a meal.
Can you use balsamic vinegar instead of vinegar?
Both sweet and luxurious, balsamic vinegar adds a rich, low-acid flavor to dressings, glazes, and sauces. Since it’s aged like wine, it tends to be more expensive than other kinds of vinegar. For 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, substitute 1 tablespoon of either brown rice vinegar or Chinese black vinegar.
How much balsamic vinegar should I drink?
Common dosages range from 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 mL) to 1–2 tablespoon (15–30 mL) per day mixed in a large glass of water. It’s best to start with small doses and avoid taking large amounts. Too much vinegar can cause harmful side effects, including tooth enamel erosion and potential drug interactions.
How do I substitute balsamic vinegar?
Consider these options:
- Combine five parts vinegar and one part sugar in a pan; then, cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Replace the balsamic vinegar called for with an equal amount of balsamic vinaigrette.
- Mix together equal parts lemon juice, molasses and soy sauce.
What is the difference between balsamic vinegar and regular vinegar?
Traditional Balsamic vs. It is pretty easy to determine the basic differences between balsamic and wine vinegar: Balsamic is darker, sweeter, and thicker than red wine vinegar.
Is it OK to eat balsamic vinegar every day?
Share on Pinterest Consuming too much balsamic vinegar may cause an upset stomach. There are few risks to using balsamic vinegar, as it is generally safe to consume unless a person has an allergy. Possible risks include: upset stomach from consuming too much.
What can I use if I don’t have vinegar?
If you need a vinegar substitute for cooking, use lemon juice. In this case, use double the amount of vinegar required. If the recipe calls for a tablespoon of vinegar, replace it with two tablespoons of lemon juice. If you want a replacement for vinegar, for making sauces, fortified wine (or regular wine) can be used.
Is balsamic vinegar same as apple cider vinegar?
Both types of vinegar provide minor sources of minerals, including healthful amounts of potassium. Balsamic provides 18mg of potassium per tablespoon, while apple cider only has 11mg. Both vinegars have studies that show their acidity is a benefit to weight loss and blood sugar control.
Can I use Worcestershire sauce instead of balsamic vinegar?
If you don’t have balsamic vinegar on hand, you can also use Worcestershire sauce or even soy sauce. soy sauce would be another option, light or dark..
Does balsamic vinegar need to be refrigerated?
If you’re using balsamic vinegars primarily for salads and like them chilled, they can be refrigerated. If you’re using them for sauces, marinades, and reductions, store them in a cupboard. The shelf life of balsamic vinegar should be between 3-5 years.
Can you get drunk on balsamic vinegar?
Modena is known for the famous balsamic vinegar, Ferrari and Maserati. Q: Is there any alcohol in balsamic vinegar? A: No, usually not. The alcohol value would have to be declared on the bottle if it contained alcohol.
Is balsamic vinegar bad for liver?
Even by adding balsamic vinegar to your meats during cooking has a direct effect on the stomach and liver and it is also used to treat food poisoning, jaundice, infections, parasites, hepatitis and poor digestion.
What if I don’t have balsamic vinegar?
Here are three quick fixes you can count on when you need a substitute for balsamic vinegar:
- Grape jelly, red wine vinegar and soy sauce. Per the pros at Food Network, a dig around your pantry can give you an excellent balsamic substitute.
- Red wine vinegar and maple syrup.
- Balsamic vinaigrette.
Can I use white wine vinegar instead of balsamic vinegar?
Apart from Chinese black vinegar and brown rice vinegar, sherry or fruit vinegar and red wine vinegar can be used to replace balsamic vinegar in a recipe. You can also use white wine vinegar with a pinch of sugar added to it, to replace balsamic vinegar in a dish.
What is the difference between balsamic vinegar and balsamic glaze?
Likewise also the consistency is really different: Balsamic vinegar is obtained only from the slow and progressive acetification of cooked must, whereas glazes are the result of simmering the Balsamic Vinegar and, by adding to this, flour, sugar and glucose, which serves to give shine to the cream.

‘No Evidence’ Found By Louisiana State Police Concerning Wiretapping Allegations Against New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis
Louisiana State Police say they can't find any evidence against New Orleans Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis and the Saints concerning wiretapping allegations.
The allegations contained "sources familiar with Saints game-day operations" that accuded Loomis of using an electronic device in his suite at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to spy on opposing coaches between the 2002 to 2004 seasons.
The investigation began in April after ESPN put out the anonymously sourced report against Loomis. State Police Superintendent Colonel Mike Edmonson says:
This has been an intensive investigation, and after numerous interviews we have determined that there is no evidence that state laws have been violated. I would caution that we are not in a position to affirm or comment on the status or existence of any federal investigation. Today’s release pertains only to the State Police inquiry.
The State Police findings were disclosed today after Colonel Edmonson met with Saints owner Tom Benson.

JEL classification: Q 14
Introduction. The article deals with the economic essence of the costs of agricultural enterprises production. Costs are the important aspect of the economic sustainability, competitiveness and efficiency of the agricultural enterprise. Is a necessity for the maintenance of an optimal level of costs, which is a prerequisite for the survival and development of an agricultural enterprise. Cost management is a very important tool for achieving a high economic performance by the enterprise, as it’s evidenced by the numerous scientifically based conceptual structures, methods and models of the management system.
The purpose of the article is a synthesis of theoretical and methodological provisions, the development of practical recommendations for the formation of rational production costs.
The result. The strategic management allows food companies to quickly adapt to changing market conditions and respond promptly to changes in the internal and external environment. This task becomes more and more important, as in today’s conditions, and in connection with Ukraine’s membership in the WTO, many Ukrainian industrial enterprises experience difficulties in the competitive struggle, which negatively affects the efficiency of their production and economic activity and the economic situation in general.
Conclusions. The estimation of the technical and economic condition of the enterprise «Promin» was conducted. The costs of the agricultural enterprise for the production are analyzed. The economic-mathematical model for optimization of production costs is proposed, the purpose of which is to maximize revenues for the investigated enterprise, provided the maximum use of by-products, the replacement of mineral fertilizers with organic, without reducing production volumes and with the maximum utilization of arable land and livestock facilities.
Key words: cost estimation, cost management, cost of production, agricultural enterprise.

(yes, I realize mine isn’t as pretty as the original, but it was my first attempt, and it still tasted amazing!)
I recently came to learn that I have access to the Cooking Channel on my television and in realizing this have been dying to watch Laura Calder’s French Food at Home. With soft, subtle French melodies playing in the background, she demonstrates with her confident, yet calm and inviting demeanor that anyone really can make our own French food. And while the episodes I have been taping thus far are reruns from a handful of years ago, they were new to me and I was thrilled to be able to watch them. The first dessert I watched her bake was her Fresh Blueberry Tart and I knew I had to give it a go.
With a few changes, I made four tartlets and what an easy recipe it is to follow. The one thing that she does call for in her filling is crème fraiche, and since I realize that many people don’t have access to this ingredient, I simply used cream cheese instead (as you will see below in the recipe) and it still tastes absolutely delicious.
So if you’re planning on visiting your local farmer’s market this weekend or next week and you see some fresh blueberries, why not impress your guests, or just treat yourself to something that summer treats tickles our sweet tooth with?
Fresh Blueberry Tart (or Tartlets)
(adapted from Laura Calder’s recipe – French Food at Home)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick – chilled)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 egg yolks (reserve 1 egg white for later)
1 cup flour
6 tablespoons cream cheese
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups fresh blueberries
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar (more if needed)
2 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
lentils or coffee beans (for forming the dough)
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. For the pastry: cream together the butter and the sugar. Beat in the egg yolks. Add the flour and mix only until incorporated. Chill for 30 minutes to one hour.
3. Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll out into either a 9 inch tart shell or 4 mini tart shells.
4. Using a tart pan (with a removable bottom), place the dough in the pan(s).
Line the shell with foil, then pour in the beans right to the rim. Bake 20 minutes for 1 large tart and 12-15 minutes for tartlets. Remove the beans and foil, reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until lightly golden brown – about 10 minutes for a large tart and 5-7 minutes for the tartlets.
5. After removing the tart shell(s) from the oven, paint the base with a little whisked egg white to seal the base. Allow to cool completely.
6. While you are waiting for the tart shell(s) to cool, make the cream cheese filling by mixing together by hand cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla. Set aside.
7. With more time to spare while the tart shell(s) cool, take a 1 cup of blueberries and place in a sauce pan with water, 1/4 sugar and dissolved cornstarch. Bring to a boil and immediate return to simmer until juicy and thick and the color is entirely that of a blueberry. Remove from the heat and toss to coat with the other 3 cups of blueberries.
8. Spread the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of the tart shell(s). Spread the blueberry mixture on top and let set. Serve and enjoy!

In what appears to be a first, the city of Yuma, Arizona, has announced that it will host a free seminar on TV and over the internet regarding autonomous vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles 101: Education for Yuma and Surrounding Communities. The seminar is being sponsored by the city, Yuma County, Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation, and the Yuma Metropolitan Planning Organization. National, state, and local experts will discuss key aspects of the autonomous vehicles economy, as well as policy and infrastructure preparations that communities can make today to prepare for the arrival of self-driving technologies.
Topics for discussion will include:
- The Changing Nature of Transportation — Shared, Electric, Connected and Autonomous
- The AV Situation in Arizona: The View From ADOT and the Governor’s Office
- The Implications of the AV Economy for Yuma City and Towns in Yuma County
- How the Siemens-anyCOMM project (the City of Yuma has dual agreements with Siemens and anyCOMM to provide infrastructure for autonomous vehicle to this region) can underpin an Autonomous Vehicle-Supportive Infrastructure
With autonomous vehicles reality on the rise, this type of educational event is not only beneficial, but absolutely mandatory for autonomous vehicles to become part of the “real world.” One of the main barriers for autonomous vehicles, beyond things such as the lack of federal regulation, is the lack of trust and acceptance of these vehicles by the public. Currently there are countless misconceptions about autonomous technology by the public, which has led to distrust and lack of willingness to use or even try the technology. By providing educational events for the public relating accurate information will go a long way to breakdown the barrier of public mistrust of autonomous vehicles, helping to smooth the path to autonomous vehicles on our roadways.
More information on this seminar and other valuable autonomous vehicle events can be found on the AI Blog Calendar. Subscribe to the calendar for updates as more events are added.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Class Of 2013 Seed Projects
Investigation of Creative Insight and Improvisational Expression by Noninvasive Brain Stimulation
The Exci-tDCS project seeks to expand scientific horizons on the neural basis of creative thought. The ExCITe seed grant has allowed the Creativity Research Laboratory to expand our studies on creativity and insight to one the most real-world expressions of human creativity: musical improvisation.
We are interested in how creative improvisation can be affected - and even enhanced - by a new form of brain stimulation, called transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). In tDCS, a safe and mild amount of electric current is applied to the scalp and travels into the cortex, changing the way neurons fire in that region. Instead of measuring brain activity while people do different tasks, tDCS lets us directly encourage or inhibit activity in different regions of the brain - and study how people's behavior changes as a result. This is an especially useful technique for studying very complex behavior where each performance is unique, like musical improvisation.
In this study, jazz pianists improvise while being exposed to tDCS targeting frontal brain areas which support self-monitoring and the “inner critic” of self-awareness. These brain areas are associated with creativity, creative problem solving and insight across domains. By modulating these areas, we are attempting to influence the choices an improviser makes - for instance, whether musicians choose to "play it safe" and use habitual responses or spontaneously create novel solos, a more “risk taking” behavior. Experts with years of jazz teaching experience will rate the improvisations on a number of factors, providing expert evaluation of the performances and the influence of brain stimulation.
Meanwhile, the improvisers will undergo a battery of psychological tests to give insight into the effects of individual personality and temperament on improvisation and tDCS - after all, music is personal! The Exci-tDCS project also tests the musicians on a range of cognitive tasks to assess the effects of tDCS on verbal creativity and strength of "cognitive inhibition", or ability to inhibit an automatic response. We will also examine the relationship between the effects of tDCS on musical and verbal tasks.
Brain stimulation has an excellent safety record and is increasingly popular as a treatment for aphasia, depression, and other clinical conditions. In the future, the present research may help to advance a science that can enhance normal cognition. Nothing substitutes for practicing - but tDCS could, eventually, be able to assist in areas like reinforcing creative strategies during training and improving the speed and effectiveness of practice.
The Exci-tDCS project begins testing improvisers this month and will continue throughout the spring term. Our setup includes an 88-key semi-weighted MIDI controller, flat response headphones and the MAGSTIM tDCS DC-stimulator. Testing is ongoing at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Pennsylvania, in collaboration with Roy Hamilton MD. MS., director of the Laboratory for Cognitive and Neural Stimulation. The Exci-tDCS project is run by David Rosen and Brian Erickson, Ph.D. candidates in the Applied Brain and Cognitive Sciences program at Drexel University, and is advised by ACBS program director, John Kounios, Ph.D
Working with an interdisciplinary team, the composer and director Gene Coleman will develop “Systole,” an audio-visual composition based on the architecture of Toyo Ito’s Sendai Mediatheque. Utilizing the Excite Center's Magnetic Resonator Piano, this work brings together music composition, architecture, computer animation, cinema, and fractal geometry.
Biologically-inspired Sensing Platform for Proprioception in Flexible Robotic Membranes
The objective of this work is to develop a textile-based stretch sensor with applications to wearable electronics, bio-inspired robotics, and haptics.
A prototype of a robotic fish fin and early attempts at adding fabric sensors to sense stretch in the fabric. Collaboration with Professor Genevieve Dion in the Shima Seiki Laboratory and funding through the ExCITe Seed Grant enabled prototyping efforts in precise placement of sensors and repeatable wiring of conduits to advance sensing in flexible materials. Designs of stretch sensors were created with computer models and prototyped in the Shima Seiki lab. Early testing and sensor characterization showed success of the proof of concept.
Project Team: Work was conducted by Professor Genevieve Dion of the Shima Seiki Haute Technology Laboratory, Jeff Kahn and Professor James Tangorra of the Laboratory of Biological Systems Analysis, and Professor Yon Visell of the RE Touch Laboratory.

CARe, the universal IGV system for the sanitization of lifts
IGV Group introducing the kit for air sanitization and car sterilization, designed for the safety of any installed lift
Washing hands and wearing masks, plus that clear feeling of anxiety.
Now more than ever, we feel vulnerable to infection.
Actions and behaviours, once taken for granted, seem to hide risks and invisible dangers that threaten our health, especially in small environments crowded with many people.
The lift is undoubtedly one of the most used common spaces and its surfaces act as an ideal vehicle for spreading viruses and infections.
How can we protect ourselves and reclaim this means of transport, using it again with the utmost safety?
IGV Group Research & Development Department has designed CARe, a professional technological system made in Italy with certified products, conceived to sanitize any lift car.
The kit consists of a fast-acting and effective absolute HEPA filter combined with an activated charcoal membrane for air sanitization and a UVGI LED light having hospital grade antimicrobial properties for the sterilization of all surfaces.
Noiseless and invisible in the car, CARe is suitable for all types of systems.
A small device, but a giant innovation for everyone’s health.

There were no positive drug tests among the 1,406 administered under the NHL's new anti-doping program, The Canadian Press has learned. Sources confirmed no violations were found after doping tests began in January under a program jointly run by the league and the NHL Players' Association. It's the first season the NHL has had an anti-doping program. A first-time offender under the league's policy faces a 20-game suspension. The ban is increased to 60 games for a second offence while a third offence means a permanent suspension.continued
