On behalf of The Law Offices of Anthony N. Palumbo posted in Drunk Driving on Thursday, June 12, 2014.
When a person is accused of being in an accident while driving under the influence in New Jersey, the stakes may go up in the criminal case. Notably, New Jersey's DUI statutes are not necessarily confined to allegations of alcohol consumption. A driver on prescription medications may face charges for DUI.
Authorities in Warren County initially charged a Bergen County woman with assault and DUI after she was allegedly involved in a series of mishaps on Route 46 last October. Police claim that the woman rear-ended a car that was caught in traffic shortly after 11:00 in the morning. The car that was struck was pushed forward into another vehicle.
Police say that the Oradell, New Jersey, woman continued on her way, sideswiping two more cars, which caused one of those vehicles to strike another car. In all, six vehicles were involved in the string of alleged accidents. Law enforcement says that at least five people, including the Oradell woman, sought treatment after the series of crashes.
The government recently presented evidence before a grand jury, which returned an indictment against the woman accusing her of being under the influence of drugs at the time of the accidents.
The grand jury found sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that at least one person suffered personal injury, according to The Express-Times. The woman now faces a charge of assault by automobile in the fourth degree.
Police believe that the woman had taken medications that are prescribed to treat nausea, insomnia and pain.
In general, many people manage medical conditions through the use of prescription medication. Some New Jersey residents may be surprised to find out that drugged driving charges may involve allegations that a driver had taken a prescription drug. Similarly, car accidents occur frequently in New Jersey, and not all crashes involve drugs or alcohol.
The consequences of a drugged driving conviction can be harsh. But, criminal defense lawyers know that the state bears the burden of proof, and a person accused of an offense has the right to challenge the state's case.

Rotala rotundifolia
Common name: Pink Baby Tears, Roundleaf Toothcup, Pink Rotala, Dwarf Rotala
Synonymous: Ammannia rotundifolia
Distribution and habitat: Rotala rotundifolia is an emergent perennial aquatic plant and has its origins in southeast Asia. In the wild, this species is often found in a semi-emersed state at the edges of rice paddies and in moist locations. The current distribution of Rotala rotundifolia has expanded beyond its native range. It was introduced in United stated where it has the potential to become invasive.
Its Latin species name rotundifolia means "round-leaved", however, the round leaves that gave the plant its name are only found in its creeping swamp form. The leaves of Rotala rotundifolia have an elongated oval or even linear shape.
Description: Rotala rotundifolia is a creeping aquatic perennial with soft stems that branch often to form low, creeping clumps. This species has both submersed (underwater) and emergent (out-of-water) forms, which differ in a number of characteristics. The small leaves – less than 2.5cm (1 inch) long – are arranged in groups of two or three around plants' pink stems. However, emergent Rotala rotundifolia has fleshy, bright-green and rounded leaves; submersed Rotala rotundifolia has darker green or reddish leaves that are thin and lanceolate – sword-shaped. Growth habit differs between the forms as well. Low-growing populations of emergent Rotala rotundifolia creep along shorelines and banks, with plant height rarely exceeding 15cm (six inch). Submersed plants form tight, mounded colonies in water as deep as 1.8m (6 feet), but they eventually grow to reach the surface of the water, where they form dense mats that block light penetration and impede water flow. Rotala rotundifolia produces spikes of small, bright pink to fuchsia flowers, but flowering only occurs on plant tips that are aerial or emergent. Flowers occur in spikes at the tip of stems. Plants flower prolifically in spring and early summer.
Rotala rotundifolia can spread by floating stem fragments, which root adventitiously at lower nodes. The plant also produces viable seeds. Fruits are dry capsules that split open to disperse seeds.
Rotala rotundifolia is a favorite of the aquarium and water garden industries, being appreciated for both its leaves and flowers.
Aquarium care: Rotala rotundifolia are ideal aquarium plants for beginners. The species is a typical example of a rapidly growing stem plant and responds favorably to frequent and even heavy pruning. This plant can be used as regulator in a newly cycled tank. Pruning must be done on a frequent basis as the side shots will grow considerably under good condition, keeping the leaves at the base of the plant away from the light. Without pruning, the plant will take a bushy appearance which could be suitable for fry or breeding tanks. Although they are difficult to grow beyond the water surface; established plants will flower small, purple flowers above the water line.
This plant looks best when planted in large groups. Once it is flourishing, it propagates easily through new shoots or cuttings. Rotala rotundifolia is best placed in the middle or in the background of a tank.
Rotala rotundifolia is considered to be a fragile plant that should be excluded from environments with very active or large fish that may damage their fragile stems.
Water: Adaptable, decorative and fast growing, Rotala rotundifolia will tolerate large fluctuations of both pH and General Hardness (GH). Ideally, the pH should be between 5.5 and 7.5, with dH below 15.
Substrate: Rotala rotundifolia can be plated directly on the bottom substrate of the aquarium. The substrate could be plain sand or small granulated gravel. Soil fertiliser is not required to grow this plant successfully.
Rotala rotundifolia is beautiful in clumps, though have to have enough space between stems when planting. Cut plant stem above lead strip with sharp scissors and strip the bottom 4-5cm of leaves from the stem. Individually insert plant into substrate. Take should be taken not to damage the stem. It is recommended to use tweezers to plant Rotala rotundifolia.
Light: Rotala rotundifolia has a green leaf which will turn reddish pink under bright light. Low or medium light will produce a somewhat lanky, yellow-green specimen. This species requires a moderate to high level of light at 3.5 to 5 watts per gallon provided by full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs.
Temperature: Rotala rotundifolia is suitable for tropical aquariums with water temperature below 30°C (86°F), but not lower than 21°C (70°F).
Feeding: Rotala rotundifolia plant displays the most beautiful colours at a low nitrate level (5 mg/l) and high phosphate and iron/micronutrient levels. Varying fertiliser doses bring colour hues from pink to yellow. Maintaining nitrates below 5 ppm and phosphates above 1 ppm will further enhance this appearance.
Pond care: Rotala rotundifolia is a tropical species and is not considered cold-tolerant. However, emergent populations cultivated outdoors die back after multiple hard freezes during winter and then quickly regrow when spring arrives. So it can withstand relatively cool temperatures. In temperate zones it may even survive mild winters in a pond. Outside of its hardiness zone, Rotala rotundifolia can be cultivated outdoors during the warm months and treated as annual.
It can be grown emerse in shallow water where it will flower. Masses of dainty pink flower spikes are produced Spring through Autumn. It is also capable of producing a heterophyllous growth form – different in form and coulour for aerial leaves compared with the submersed ones.
This plant grows to 15cm (6 inch) in height and usually is placed in water to 20-30cm (8-12 inch) deep.
Light: Rotala rotundifolia will grow in part shade to full sun. It will grow fast in high light conditions – up to one 2.5cm (1 inch) per week.
Rotala rotundifolia enjoys receiving direct light. It will grow adequately in low light compositions, where most of the leaves will remain a bright green. To truly showcase this plant's properties, intense light will bring out the rich red and pink tones that can make an aquascape stand out. The more light provided the smaller and more densely packed the leaves will be.
Pond water: Water requirements are not really an issue. Rotala Rotundifolia supports a wide range of water conditions. It thrives in shallow water to 30cm (12 inch) and grows to 15cm (6 inch) in height.
Pond planting: Rotala rotundifolia can be planted directly into pockets of gravel of the pond. For easy maintenance and containing, use a sallow tray or a 25cm (10 inch) pan size to create mass effect. These species can became invasive, so these plants may need to be severely trimmed to keep them tidy. Make sure to take precautions with this plant disposal.
Pond fertiliser: Soil fertiliser is not required for Rotala rotundifolia health. However, iron and NO3 should be present to avoid stunting the plant. Lean NO3 (nitrate) levels, high PO4 (phosphate) levels, with heavy, regular dosing of iron and trace elements in addition to CO2 injection, will produce intense coloration and vigorous growth.
When there is inadequate light, the lower parts Rotala rotundifolia may lose their leaves.
Treatment: Improve light exposure.
Companion plants: Rotala rotundifolia looks excellent when mixed in with other low growing bog or marginal plants such as Myosotis scorpioides (Forget-me-not), Mentha spicata (Mentha) or Bacopa monnieri (Bacopa).
Propagation: The propagation of Rotala rotundifolia is easy: simply cut the top half of a strong stem and gently replant it in the substrate after removing any leaves from the last node of the stem. The parent stem will quickly develop new shoots and the newly planted cutting will quickly develop a root system. Over time, this topping process will develop lush, bushy plants.
Note: The tremendous capacity for vegetative regeneration of Rotala rotundifolia is considered as a serious indicator of potential invasive aquatic plant species. Precautions in disposal this plant always should be taken.
This plant has frequently been confused with Rotala indica and is still commonly advertised as such by many retailers. Differences in the inflorescence provide the key to proper identification.
Uses and display: Rotala rotundifolia popularity is increased over time because its ease of cultivation and beautiful growth pattern. Both Dutch and Nature-style aquascapes often feature this versatile plant. Because of its rapid growth and size, this plant is usually placed in background position, but is also wonderful when is used as ascent plant forming a good clump under reasonable conditions.
Under intense light with good micronutrient levels it will acquire a nice pink coloration which will make a nice contrast with other green aquatic plants. It said that Rotala rotundifolia look its best as mass planting.
As pond plant, Rotala rotundifolia can be used for its beautiful flower heads in shallow water or grown as aquatic plant up to 30cm (12 inch) deep.

37c Cape Lookout, North Carolina single
American Packaging Corporation
The Postal Service issued five 37-cent Southeastern Lighthouses commemorative stamps in a pressure-sensitive adhesive pane of twenty stamps in five designs on June 13, 2003, in Tybee Island, Georgia. The stamps were designed by Howard E. Paine, Delaplane, Virginia, and illustrated by Howard Koslow, Toms River, New Jersey.
The Southeastern Lighthouses stamps commemorate five lighthouses spanning the coast from Virginia to southern Florida. These five structures -- at Old Cape Henry, Cape Lookout, Morris Island, Tybee Island, and Hillsboro Inlet -- typify the beauty and colorful history of the nation's lighthouses.
o Old Cape Henry Lighthouse, on the grounds of Fort Story in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was the first lighthouse constructed by the US government and began protecting the southern mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in 1792.
o Cape Lookout Lighthouse is located on Core Banks along Cape Lookout National Seashore near Beaufort, North Carolina, and was activated in 1859.
o Morris Island Lighthouse, located at the entrance to the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina, began operation in 1876 on the site of an earlier lighthouse, established in 1767 but destroyed during the Civil War.
o Tybee Island Lighthouse was built in 1773 on Tybee Island east of Savannah, Georgia. Marking the mouth of the Savannah River, this lighthouse continues to guide ships safely into Savannah harbor.
o Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse was built under federal government contract in Detroit, Michigan, then erected and inspected before being shipped to its present location near Pompano Beach, Florida, where it was reassembled and activated in 1907. Today, the Hillsboro Inlet light is visible from a distance of more than twenty miles.
Sennett Security Products, located at the American Packaging Corporation in Columbus, Wisconsin, printed 125 million stamps in the gravure process with Scrambled Indicia.

We know God as Creator, Ruler, Judge, Provider, Guide, Protector, and to this list we now add Warrior. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob do not go to war to fulfill their covenants. Instead they make peace with their neighbors. But in Exodus God goes to war to bring justice.
With Moses, God fights when Moses recognizes that he can't do it himself. Whenever Moses tries to fight in his own strength, God holds back and lets him try. When Moses raises his staff, God goes to work (Exodus 14:16,17:9). In the battle with the Amalekites, it is the Israelites who fight, but it is clearly God who has the power.
In Deut. 7:17-24 God outlines the process by which Israel will free the land of Canaanite influence. Interestingly, He says that they will not be able to do it all at once – that it will be a process. The power belongs to God. He leaves some Canaanites for later generations as a test (Judges 3:1-4). When King David takes a census (2 Samuel 24), God punishes the nation, because a census (which delivers a count of the fighting men) is a declaration of the king's power.
When in later years Israel decides to have a king, God places limits on the king's power, so that the king must acknowledge God as the real power. Of course the king is tempted to rely on his own power anyway – so God installs a prophet to speak for Him, even against the king. Samuel is the first of these, and God uses Samuel to reject Saul as king because Saul does not submit to God's authority.
There is a strange line quoted at the death of Elijah and again at the death of Elisha, the prophets of God. "My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!" (2 Kings 2:12, 13:14) Chariots and horsemen represent a kingdom's power, but Elisha and King Jehoash knew that Elijah and Elisha, respectively, represented the real power.
"In the economy of God's kingdom, one must be weak to be strong (2 Cor. 4:7-12)." Israel's failure to finally understand this principle is what caused them to fail to recognize the Messiah.


Today was a day of change. Change of plans, change of rooms, and change of schedule. We started off the day with the impression that we needed to be up at 6:30am. The day that was planned consisted of a hike, a trip to the Dead Sea, and ATV'ing in the desert. Instead, we found out that we didn't need to be up until 8:00am because the hike closed due to unforeseen rainfall. After breakfast, Rabbi Klatzko gave a talk about having a conversation with an apple. On the surface, I can understand how that sounds strange, but ask your lovely children to explain what it means.
After that we had planned to go bowling instead of the hike, but suddenly we were allowed to go on the hike! So, we boarded the bus and headed out. After seeing some beautiful desert scenery, we boarded the bus to go ATV'ING. Wooooo!! It was a total blast and we all had a fantastic time. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go to the Dead Sea which is often a highlight of many Israel trips, but Gam Zu L'Tova (everything happens for a reason). Love from the holy land!!

An April Shower's Wildflowers . . .
The transition from winter to spring really does resemble the way a rainbow emerges from a storm. First, there is the monochromatic gray sky, opening up with wind and water until it begins to thin out. A hint of pale blue emerges, followed by the electrum sun and the full spectrum of visible light manifested by the prism of that same rainfall, now receding.
April 2011 followed this manner of blooming, at least in New York City. A season opening fly fishing trip to Prospect Park Lake in Brooklyn was accompanied by the somber colors of early spring. The lake itself was charcoal grey and surrounded by the tan stalks of last year's cattails and the brown mesh of tree branches just beginning to bud. A week of cold rain followed. The spring season appeared to be as late as the Passover and Easter holidays.
When Easter Sunday did arrive, it turned into the first balmy warm day of the year. The humidity appeared in an instant, bumblebees filled the air, robins and purple finches trilled in the trees, which like the grounds all around town had gone a bright pastel green. The wildflowers, too, had arrived, including . . .
The first act of Manhattan's spring blooming is complete. The stage is now set for May's flowers.

Chocolate is Belgium's great pride and joy. There are dozens of chocolate shops throughout the city. The praline, created by Jean Neuhaus in 1912, is a piece of chocolate filled with various mixtures of nuts, fruits, or chocolate cream.
The quality of chocolate comes from the materials and preparation of the cocoa beans taken from Old World recipes. The Musée du Cacao et du Chocolat (Rue de la Tête d'Or, 9/11) offers an explanation of the history and manufacturing of chocolate. But better still, stop in (as many as possible) chocolateries and try for yourself what makes Belgian pralines famous around the world!
Belgium boasts around 125 breweries, ranging in size from tiny ones to international giants. Together they produce around 800 standard beers, but adding the special one-off beers, small Belgium produces amazing 8700 different beers!
Among the unique beer flavors one can find chocolate, raspberry, and cherry beer. There are plenty opportunities for beer tasting in Brussels, from local pubs to brewery tours throughout the city.

Brussels - History
Brussels was first mentioned in the 7th century. Its name is derived from a Flemish word for marshland. Officially Brussels was founded in 979 when a small castle was built near the Senne River. The settlement grew into an important village and in the 9th century it developed into a town. A new castle and a wall were built in the middle of the 11th century. In the 12th century it already had 5,000 inhabitants and in the 13th century the city had already outgrown its walls. Due to its geographic position at the crossroads of Europe, it became a prosperous trade and transportation center. A new wall was built, which stood until the 19th century when it was replaced by a ring road.
In 1302 the rebellion of craftsmen against the bourgeoisie led to a short-lived victory but eventually they were defeated by the army of Jean II at the battle of Vilvoorde. A restless period followed and the wars threatened trade with Britain. Economic depression ensued. Things turned brighter when Duchess Joan came into power. She initiated a charter for workers' rights which allowed them some power in the running of the city.
At the end of the 14th century the town was attacked by the Count of Flanders and fortifications around the city were strengthened. The city came under Burgundian rule with the marriage of Phillip the Bold and the heiress of Duchess Jeanne. Brussels became the capital of Burgundy in 1430 and rose to unprecedented importance.
The city passed to Habsburg rule in 1477 with the marriage of Mary of Burgundy to Maximilian of Austria. People were not happy with the change of power and started rebelling after Mary's death. Power was retained but Maximilian's daughter had to move the capital elsewhere.
In 1515 the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V became the ruler of Burgundy and restored Brussels as the capital. The city drew many immigrants and became known as an intellectual center and a tolerant city.
During the Reformation Protestants were persecuted - over 8,000 were killed.
In 1695 the city was attacked by the French King, Louis XIV resulting in 4,000 destroyed buildings.
The 18th century was marked by Austrian rule after the Utrecht peace treaty. The city was rebuilt and its economy restored.
The War of Austrian Succession ensued, and an era of poverty followed.
The 18th century Enlightenment, however, brought new hope. The Brussels court invited numerous intellectuals and artists to the city.
After the French revolution the Belgian working class started to rebel as well. In 1830 the War of Independence saw an independent Kingdom of Belgium with Brussels as its capital.
Brussels began to grow; old walls had to be torn down as new city districts emerged.
The city was a haven of libertarian thinking, and became home to such people as Baudelaire, Marx and Hugo.
The beginning of the 20th century saw the Art Nouveau movement flourish. But this proliferation came to a sudden end when Belgium was occupied by Germans during WW I. In the 1919 Peace treaty Belgium gained the German speaking area in the southeast.
In 1940 the country was again occupied by the Germans.
In the post-war years Brussels started growing and modernizing. It hosted the 1958 World Fair and in the same year became headquarters of the European Economic Community (now the European Union). In 1967 it also became the seat of NATO.
In the same period many multinationals established their offices in Brussels. In 1992 a new Europe without borders was formed.
Today Brussels has a multinational population. The city still continues to grow in terms of international relations, industry and trade. The city is a successful mix of old tradition and multicultural, multiethnic coexistence.

Tipping:
Tipping is not common in Belgium.
Service charge is already included in the restaurant, taxi and hairdresser bills. Service staff in Belgium are well-paid, in comparison with the USA, and do not rely on tips to make up their income. But if you are very pleased with the service, it is customary to round up the bill or leave a few euros.

Brussels - Safety
Brussels is a relatively safe city. However, you should be aware of the usual street crimes and take the usual precautions. Look out for pick pockets and muggers, especially on public transport, on major train stations and on remote metro stations at night.
There are some areas that are better avoided at night, the Gare du Nord and the industrial district around the Canal de Charleroi, but tourists rarely wander there.

Brussels - When To Go
The best weather is between May and September but this period is also the peak of the tourist season. The best time to visit is either late spring or early autumn when the weather is still nice and crowds are much smaller.
During the summer many Belgians go on holiday. The hotel prices are somewhat lower but also many restaurants are closed.
Between November and March the weather is usually nasty: low temperatures, and plenty of rain. The number of visitors drops dramatically so, if your prime goal is museums and galleries, this is the best time to visit. Just remember to pack an umbrella and plenty of warm clothes.
Showers late. Partly cloudy. Mild.
Light showers. More clouds than sun. Mild.

Former Nebraska lawmaker, Chuck Hagel, is reportedly in line to be nominated for U.S. secretary of defense. NBC's Peter Alexander reports.
Senators on Sunday indicated a tough confirmation fight for former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, President Barack Obama's reported pick to be the next Secretary of Defense.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that Republicans in the upper chamber would treat Hagel "fairly" but that his past statements on Israel and Iran will be subject to tough scrutiny.
"I think he'll be subjected to the same kind of oversight hearings that any nominee for such an important position would expect," McConnell said. "And his views with regard to Israel, for example, and Iran and all the other positions that he's taken over the years will be very much a matter of discussion in the confirmation process."
Sen. Angus King, who sits on the Armed Services Committee, previews the upcoming nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel to become secretary of state.
"I think there will be a lot of tough questions for Sen. Hagel, but he will be treated fairly by Republicans in the Senate," he added.
That statement fell short of McConnell's past praise for his fellow Republican, a Vietnam War veteran and Purple Heart recipient who served in the Senate for three terms. When Hagel left the Senate, McConnell called him "a clear voice on foreign policy and national security."
During a pre-taped appearance on ABC's "This Week," McConnell appeared to back off that view, saying only that Hagel has been "outspoken" on foreign policy issues. "The question we will be answering if he's the nominee is 'do his views make sense for that particular job?'" he said.
Hagel has earned foes on both sides of the aisle for past statements about Israel -- notably his comment about how the "Jewish lobby" tries to influence lawmakers in D.C. -- as well as for his calls for direct negotiations with Palestinian group Hamas. He has also voted against some Iran sanctions and was heavily critical of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell discusses the goals his party is aiming toward in the upcoming Congress.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called the reported pick an "in your face nomination" by the president, while new Sen. Ted Cruz blasted Obama for ignoring bipartisan criticism of his reported pick for the Pentagon job.
"This is a president who has drunk the tea," Cruz said on Fox News Sunday "He's high on re-election right now."
Cruz said that he is "concerned" about Hagel's past statements.
Newly-elected independent Sen. Angus King of Maine said on "Meet the Press" that he would "reserve judgement" until the confirmation process begins, saying he believes generally that the president should be given considerable leeway to fill his cabinet as he sees fit.
"But I'm going to want to ask some serious questions and hear from Senator Hagel about the issues," he added. "He's a guy with a distinguished record and I'm going to listen to the answers."
Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a freshman Democrat from North Dakota, said that the looming fight over the expected nomination merely highlights the Washington gridlock disliked by the American public.
"Chuck Hagel is a tremendous patriot and statesman," she said on ABC. "He hasn't had a chance to speak for himself, so why all the prejudging? I don't know."


Everyone has to carry out regular health checks of some sort or another. We need to attend dental appointments. We need to check in with an optician. We need to head to the doctor if we are feeling unwell. But there are various health checks that tend to be more specific to women. It's important that you carry these out! Here are a few to work into your routine.
Women aged 25 to 44 will be invited back for another once every three years.
Women aged 45 to 60 will be invited back once every five years (as long as they have had two "no abnormality detected" results in a row).
The process isn't painful. While it may be a little uncomfortable, it is fast and will generally be over within a matter of minutes.
Bloating – while bloating is common in general day to day life, consistent bloating that doesn't go away should raise concern.
Fullness – feel full quickly or constantly should also raise alarm bells. If you consistently feel as though you have just eaten a large meal.
Constipation – constipation can be linked to stress, anxiety, lack of fibre, and a whole host of other issues. But it could also be a possible ovarian cancer symptom.
If you feel concerned that you may be displaying signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, you should contact your doctor and request TVUS and CA-125 tests. A TVUS is a transvaginal ultrasound, which uses sound waves to create an image of your internal parts. A CA-125 test measures the amount of CA-125 protein in your blood. This tends to be elevated if there are problems present.
You should conduct regular checks on your own breasts. This will take hardly any time, but can also provide you with the opportunity to identify any changes or abnormalities over time. You can find a complete guide on how to do this properly here. If you do notice any changes, lumps, or bumps, make sure to contact your doctor as soon as possible.
These are just a few different checks that you should be engaging with as a woman. Make sure to keep up with them and to seek the appropriate support and professional help that you may require if you do have to take further steps in regards to treatment and healthcare!

What a difference a week makes. Mere days after one of the most bizarre, random Raws in recent memory, WWE came back to the table with a cohesive, dramatic and story-driven show that could very well have WrestleMania implications.
Mick Foley obviously doesn't have the "OMG!" factor of The Rock or even Steve Austin, but I had a very good feeling about this show when things kicked off with the Hardcore Legend. Foley has been a WWE Champion, he's even headlined WrestleMania, but he has never won the Royal Rumble and made it known he wants to fix that this year. Honestly, I'm not opposed to that, CM Punk vs. Mick Foley at WrestleMania? Why the hell not? Cena vs. Rock is selling the show, have some fun with the WWE Title match.
Although those WrestleMania implications I mentioned earlier would lead me to believe Mick Foley vs. Dolph Ziggler is much more likely to happen in Miami and I don't think I'd mind that either. Hell of a promo from Ziggler too, berating Foley with the wit of Barney Stinson while dressed as Sonny Crockett, could there possibly be a better character in wrestling right now? CM Punk, perhaps? Punk hasn't had much to work with in recent weeks, but holy hell he brought his game last night. I thought his tirade against Ziggler was one of his best in awhile, but it seemed like small potatoes compared to the second time he grabbed the pipe bomb... more on that in a bit.
In case you haven't heard, Evan Bourne was suspended once again today, putting him on the shelf for 60 days. I wonder if the suspension came down before the Tag Title switch at the house show or if it's just a coincidence? Either way, AirBoom is probably done, which is a shame because I always wanted to see Evan and Kofi team up, but I don't know if there's any coming back from this. I don't know if they'll outright release Bourne and I do think it's kinda bullshit that these guys can't smoke a little weed now and then and instead go for dangerous synthetic substitutes, but that's another debate for another day. Bottom line, I don't want to see Bourne lose his gig, so hopefully he'll do what he needs to do to keep that from happening.
The match with Primo & Epico was fun and fast-paced, but obviously too short. I wish I could say I was eager to see what the future holds for the tag division, but I'm pretty sure this quick switch was just to get the belts off AirBoom, not to actually do anything with them.
One of the best sight-gags from WWE in quite awhile came from Chris Jericho meeting up with Johnny Ace backstage. He turned off all the lights in the office and without saying a word, turned his Christmas Tree jacket on. Hilarious.
In a make-good for last week's controversial finish against CM Punk, Jack Swagger got a United States Title match against a clearly injured Zack Ryder. Swagger captured the title in a move that surely sent the IWC into a fit of rage, but this was good storytelling. It's a bummer to see Ryder drop the belt, but it's supposed to bum you out, it wasn't fair. It took three - three - Gutwrench Powerbombs to put Ryder down, despite lingering injuries he suffered at the hands of Kane last week. I don't know if that says more about Ryder's toughness or how ineffective Jack Swagger has been for three years, but regardless, Ryder came out of that looking like a fighter.
For as much as I love Ryder, his character is extremely limited right now and he was on the path to becoming Santino 2.0 once the cheers died off. And of course they were going to die off, the whole point in the "WE WANT RYDER!" chants was that we were not, in fact, getting Ryder. Now that we're getting him, there's not as much of a need to cheer and being "the Woo Woo Woo guy" was only going to go so far. There's nothing wrong with being a comedy character, Kurt Angle's early WWE run is a classic example of it working out perfectly, but there's gotta be some depth there. Right now, Ryder's a catchphrase machine and the addition of some hard times and conflict will hopefully be exactly what he needs.
Perez Hilton is just the worst and his segment was stupid. Clearly they were trying to promote whatever he's got going on with his fitness blog with the Divas, which is fine, but talk about shoehorning someone into a segment.
R-Truth however, is just the best. His slideshow photos from Disneyland are my new favorite everything and Wade Barrett just letting him go on and on was perfect. Oh and Truth's "I don't even know if that's PG!" at Pinocchio's nose growing was the first time the "That's not PG" joke has ever been funny.
I'm sad that The Miz is still stuck being a punching bag (well, kicking bag) for Sheamus, but the four-man mini Rumble was fun and it was cool to see Truth win. I wasn't sure if Truth's shtick would work as a good guy, but after a bit like this, I think it might turn out for the best. Speaking of comedy characters, Truth is a great example of how to do it right. Can we get this guy a WWE Title run already?!
One thing I enjoy about Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, Interim General Manager of Raw and Part-time Shoe-Shiner, John Laurinaitis is how he's willing to admit fault in his own prickish way, then make the situation even worse. He admitted there was a mistake in the Swagger/Punk match last week, so he tried to make it right by giving Swags a US Title shot, which wasn't right to do to Ryder since he wasn't medically cleared, so he tried to make John Cena happy by giving him a match against Swagger, which almost got Swagger killed. Whew.
Yeah, John Cena embraced the hate by embracing felonious assault and damn near killing poor Jackie Swaggs. I don't really see how it was Swagger's fault that he got put in a match with an injured Ryder, but again, that's the point. Kane is clearly getting to John Cena and the "will he or won't he" talk about a turn gets to heat up a bit more. BTW, he won't.
"The Funkasaurus" Brodus Clay is one of those things that makes me wish I could just sit in a room and watch the WWE creative process unfold. How did Planet Funk make its way to Earth? I could easily imagine the WWE writers sitting in a room thinking, "we need to come up with something different for Brodus, generic monster is out right now." But I could also see it being something Brodus himself came up with, I know nothing about the guy, he's not on Twitter (except as a retweet machine) and we've never seen an out-of-character glimpse of him. But maybe he's a bit of a goofball and it caught on backstage?
But my personal favorite is Vince McMahon himself coming up with the idea and pitching it to Brodus much like he pitched "Puke" to Droz in the 1999 documentary Behind the Mat. Instead of "HE'S GONNA... HE'S GONNA... HE'S GONNA PUKE! HE'S GONNA PUUUUUUKE!" he sat Brodus down, took the cap off his Aquafina and said "You're not just Brodus Clay, Brodus is gonna bore-us... you're THE FUNKASAURUS! HE'S BIG! HE'S FUNKY! HE'S THE FUNKASAURUS! BAAAAAAAAAAACK BODY DROP!"
However it came to be, the character continued to be fun in his match with JTG, but he REALLY needs a new finisher. Okay, I don't want to see the Stinkface or anything, but he needs something like that. Something funny and slightly dehumanizing to his opponents that the crowd can cheer along with. Brodus... are you able to do the Worm?
Daniel Bryan blaming Big Show for AJ's injury was pretty spectacular. Anyone who ever said Bryan didn't have the charisma or "mic skills" to be in WWE had no idea what they were talking about. Fun fact: it's not an RPG (no matter how much I want it to be), just because someone has a high magic stat, it doesn't mean they need a low charisma stat for balance.
The main event turned out to be the real highlight of the show. A six-man tag featuring CM Punk, Daniel Bryan & Chris Jericho taking on Dolph Ziggler, Mark Henry & David Otunga. You know how WWE six-man tags work at this point, but the ultra-hot crowd sent this way way up the list and that hot tag to Jericho was nothing short of spectacular. In case you missed it, Punk was getting his ass kicked, the crowd was pleading for Jericho to come in, exploded when he got the hot tag, he got them all fired up and just when you thought he was going to attack... he left the ring. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Bryan and Henry were also took themselves out the match, brawling all over the arena in preparation of their match this Friday for the World Two-First-Names Championship, which left the door open for Mick Foley to save the day! Foley performed his greatest hits: punches in the corner, running knee to the face, double-arm DDT, Pink Houses and Mr. Socko to get the win and send us home happy. Yay!
But EVPOTRAIGMOMNR John Laurinaitis wasn't having any of that. He didn't sign off on Foley as a participant in this match or the Rumble and overturned the decision. CM Punk responded by tearing Johnny a new asshole in one of the greatest verbal takedowns he's ever done. Muhammad Ali turned 70 today and all he wanted was to watch that promo again... true story! YouTube it if you missed it, hell YouTube it if you saw it, because it was Punk's best work since the night he started the whole pipe bomb thing.
Punk walked off, leaving Johnny Ace and Cactus Jack behind and Laurinaitis confirmed he will screw Punk at the Rumble and blasted Foley in the head with the microphone. Truly terrific work from Laurinaitis here and he has really evolved into a great villain, I was totally wrong about making him an on-air character. It's obviously not Austin/McMahon, nothing ever will be, but if Johnny keeps showing the fire he showed last night, this feud could become something really special. I'm really digging it.
And I really dug last night's Raw. My good buddy Bill Baconhill called in the best in a year and while I'm not sure if I'd go that far, it was a lot of fun. As I mentioned, the stories are really coming together, the main event was fun and the Anaheim crowd was definitely the best in the last year, if not the last several. More like this, please!
Programming note: time slipped away from me today, so I'll do a double Royal Rumble Top 30 post tomorrow with matches #13 and #14. Thanks!

Oympian John Carlos made history during the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Mexico, when he took to the international stage during the medal ceremony and made a speechless statement, heard and seen worldwide. Winning the 200 meter, Carlos accepted the Bronze medal at the Olympic podium wearing black socks and no shoes to represent impoverished people who had no shoes of their own, and raised a black-gloved fist crowning a bowed head to humbly reflect the strength of the human spirit. Carlos was joined in his statement by teammate and gold medalist Tommie Smith, and both were supported by silver medalist, Australian, Peter Norman who wore an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge.
International Olympic Committee president Avery Brundage immediately ordered Smith and Carlos suspended from the U.S. team and banned them from the Olympic Village. No penalties or repercussions were enforced on the Australian, Peter Norman by the IOC. Following the controversial 1968 Olympic medal ceremony, all three athletes suffered lingering effects of their gesture, the most serious of which were death threats against Carlos, Smith, and their families. Contrary to reports, Carlos and Smith were not stripped of their medals.
Today John Carlos is actively involved with global and community movements, taking to the international stage as a torch-bearer for the Human Rights Torch, which ran in parallel to the 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay. That same year Carlos accepted the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage for his salute at the 2008 Espy Awards.

The three day Wild West Coast tour immerses guests in the rugged beauty of the Wild West featuring dramatic mountains, lush rainforest and sleepy country towns.
Cradle Mountain, Sheffield, Honey & Salmon Tasting: Cradle Mountain is spectacular - we give you plenty of time to enjoy it. Take it in with a quiet stroll or choose a more challenging hike – the choice is yours. Sheffield, the town of murals, is our lunch stop. Later on we taste honey and sample delicious hot smoked salmon. At the end of the day we visit Launceston`s beautiful Cataract Gorge.
A drop-off at Launceston Airport is available on request (additional cost $20 (approximately) per person, paid locally).


The best place to make use of this resource is where the waste organics material is created - your home and by extension, your neighbourhood. Instead of throwing out your meal scrapings, fruit, vegetables and old food, you can convert it into an amazing fertiliser and soil conditioner in the form of compost or worm castings.
Keeping organics out of the rubbish bin also reduces green house gas emissions and saves on transport and handling costs. This in turn reduces your council's waste disposal bill.
Use the resources below to learn more about how easy it is to employ some simple techniques to reduce your use of fertiliser, save money, lower your water needs and prevent pollution of our waterways.
If you want an overview of organics click here.
New technology has been developed for an Organic Composting Bin. The City of Rockingham is interested in the prospect of introducing these to every household in the city with the aim of further reducing the amount of waste going into landfill and working toward reaching zero waste. A small sample trial of 10 bins proved to be very successful and encouraging. However, the cost of a full scale introduction of the bins would be $2.6m therefore a more extensive trial would be needed before that kind of undertaking could be justified.
A trial with 200 bins (costing approximately $13,000) and two independent audits of the results (costing $15,000 each) would be necessary.
Composting at home is simple and effective and helps save water, energy, fuel, emissions and improves your garden.

All about cool things
Why Gangnam style became more popular than other typical Kpop idol songs
Can you believe that a Kpop song reached no.1 on iTunes in 31 countries?, even though this Kpop song is not an English song, but a Korean song that is called "Gangnam style" by PSY. Actually, nobody expected that this song could become a great hit wordwide, but this song has been spread all over the world very quickly due to Youtube. In this article, I am going to talk about why "Gangnam style" became more popular than other typical Kpop idol songs.
Recently, Kpop has been popular in Asia and has had some fan groups in the western countries, but Kpop itself refers to songs for the younger generation, which have been performed by girl and boy groups so far. However, Psy's "Gangnam style" showed a different side of Kpop songs because he didn't imitate the pop idols and created his own style that nobody had performed before.
Psy is so unique, even in Korea. He has kept his own character since he debuted in 2001, which is a cheap and comic image. This means that he enjoys performing in his own style.
During the time from his debut until now, he has released 5 albums and has 6 number 1 hit songs in Korea. His music is always cheerful and makes us excited because he has produced his songs by himself in order to pursue his own style. The interesting thing is that his style has gained in popularity because his songs give comfort to people who are suffering from a long recession.
Why did "Gangnam style" became popular? The contract with Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun played an important role, but without Youtube, all things might have never happened. Currently, Psy's Gangnam style has racked up over 400 million views on YouTube and becoming the most-liked video in the site's history. Actually, he didn't make any effort to make people know about his song except by making the comic music video. I think Youtube changed the way of promoting music, which means that there are no barriers to find music. A few years ago, one Indian song was popular in Korea because of its comic style. Psy's song is the same case.
Psy's success is not by chance, because he has been developing his own music style for 10 years. "Gangnam style" is just the first of his songs to show his character and music to the world. I'm sure again that creating one's own style is always better than imitating others in many areas. Furthermore, anyone can be a star through Youtube if they have any special talents which other stars haven't shown.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is one of the most jacked celebrities on the planet. That's essentially a huge reason why he is playing the son of Zeus in the upcoming blockbuster "Hercules", set to be released in theaters on July 25. Regardless of what movie he is in, The Rock knows how to properly prepare for a role and look the part better than anyone.
To look the part of Hercules, the 6'5, 260 pound movie star and former WWE superstar increased his training, using a six-days-on, one-day-off schedule for six months to help him bulk up and build even more lean muscle mass. He starts his training around 4 AM, training upwards of an hour and 45 minutes. When he is filming, he does his cardio and weight training before going to set. Each morning, The Rock does a 50 minute cardio session before working on a specific muscle group depending on the day. His legs are the only muscle group that receives more than one workout per week.
A six-day-on, one-day-off schedule is one of the more popular workout routines for more experienced lifters. This type of routine allows you to maximize your gains while providing a set rest day to properly recover from your workouts. Exercise, especially the type of intense training that The Rock does, can put a lot of physiological stress on the body. It can lead to overuse injuries, such as stress fractures, muscle strains, and joint pain. That's why it is essential to rest the body, which is something The Rock does at least once a week.
"I love training when the sun is coming up because it allows me to put on my headphones and step off the crazy treadmill that is everyone's life. I have my headphones on and I'm listening to my music, and I'm 100 percent focused. There's no wasted time or effort when it comes to me and the weights," he says.
One day I'll get the therapy I need. Until then… #HeavyIronFightsThePain #CheaperThanAShrink #NoFannyPacks My only drawback is f*cked up calloused hands.
The Rock also follows an incredibly strict diet plan, especially as he prepped for Hercules. He did a full 22 week diet, eating six to seven times a day. He called his diet plan for Hercules as the 12 Labors Diet, a reference to the 12 difficult feats the mythical son of Zeus had to undertake. His dieting goal is to get enough protein to aid lean muscle growth. All his meals are very precisely measured depending on what he trains for the day. He focuses mainly on lots of protein, good carbs, and vegetables. Some of his preferred foods in his diet are egg whites, filet mignon, chicken, fish, oatmeal, broccoli, asparagus, a baked potato, cream of rice and salad, along with more complex carbs. He measures and weighs everything he eats. Some of his preferred supplements are multivitamins for general health, glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health, glutamine to aid in recovery, branched-chain amino acids to stimulate protein synthesis, and one protein shake a day for muscle growth and recovery, which he drinks after training. The Rock has a ton of protein and carbohydrates in his diet, which is both needed for proper nutrients and energy. However, many proteins are high in saturated fats that may cause cardiovascular disease, while unhealthy carbs could contribute to diabetes and metabolic syndrome, along with weight gain. The Rock mainly sticks with lean proteins and good carbs to help ensure that he gets sufficient nutrition without the downside. He takes an effective and safe combination of supplements with minimal side effects.
The Rock is also known for his epic cheat days. He would go on long periods of clean eating followed by an occasional cheat day, in which he would eat everything in sight. He once had 12 pancakes, 4 double dough pizzas, and 21 brownies during one of his cheat days. He is preparing for another epic cheat day after he finishes wrapping up filming for Hercules. An occasional cheat day can have its benefits. Not only is a cheat meal psychologically satisfying and can keep you disciplined with your diet, it also causes many changes in the body that are beneficial to your metabolism. Dieting can create an energy deficit, in which your body often adapts to the shortfall of calories by burning fewer of them. Having an influx of calories with a cheat meal can interrupt this slowdown. In addition, dieting can decrease levels of thyroid hormones and leptin (which directly affect fat-burning) and IGF (insulinlike growth factor, which supports muscle growth). Having an occasional cheat meal can bring them back to normal.


The St. John's Kula Festival will be on Sept. 23rd this year from 9am to 4pm. Lots of ono food, produce, kids games, crafters, auction and live entertainment all day long. Proceeds shared with 2 local non profits. Visit the website http://stjohnsmaui.org/event/st-johns-kula-festival-3/ or call 878-1485.

Island West Properties did an excellent job. Their client needed a property, but missed out in getting one in his preferred neighborhood. We happened to have 2 such lots, but they were not on the market. Jim contacted us, worked with us and we agreed to sell one. Really helped us out! He was professional, cordial, serious when necessary and very patient to push the process through. The sale took place last week and he made special effort to get the check to me overnight.
James's confidence never wavered even after we had the house on the market for a few months with 20+ showings. He negotiated a great deal for us and made the process straightforward and seamless. It was a great experience.
Jim follows through on all commitments has in-depth knowledge of all aspects of property marketing, rental, and management. I highly recommend Island West Properties to provide any of these services. They know the process in PR and will get the job done. Jim's team sold the property and he represented me in the transaction.

Praising China's Forced Abortion Policy is: Former Planned Parenthood director !
Posted in Planned Parenthood and Eugenics, Planned Parenthood China's One Child Policy with tags China One Child Policy, forced abortion, Norman Fleishman, Planed Parenthhood New York, Planned Parenthood Houston, Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, Tides Center on August 10, 2011 by saynsumthn
An ex- Planned Parenthood director who worked in several Planned Parenthood centers and the Tides Center, praises China's One Child Policy in an editorial piblished today.
Norman Fleishman, who once co-authored an article that wrote, "Our mission really began in 1966 when then AHA Executive Director Toby McCarroll (who we had worked with as assistant director in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1964) directed us to the national office of Planned Parenthood. We worked in the New York City office, then took a position directing the PP of Houston, Texas, and subsequently ran the PP chapter in Los Angeles, California. In this latter assignment we were fortunate to break bread with Lear–who was then producing the television series All in the Family–and suggest to him that he give "Meathead" (Archie's son-in-law) a vasectomy. Lear said, "Let's talk about it," so we set up an evening at his home. We invited international family planning consultant Donald A. Collins and renowned birth-control authority Leonard Laufe to join us. During dinner, Lear's questions were answered and it was clear he loved the idea… At Lear's suggestion and with his assistance, we formed Microsecond–a nonprofit organization under the auspices of the Tides Center in San Francisco, California.
Praising China's Forced Abortion Policies in this Op-Ed below from the Napa Valley Register-
World's increasing population presents today's real threat Tuesday, August 9, 2011 12:00 am
The Obama administration's mandate that all health plans must provide to women, with no charge, all government-approved contraceptives, has already reignited debate on the federal role in health care.
Ah, how I remember "Every child a wanted child," our motto at Planned Parenthood. And I do welcome this legislation.
Half the pregnancies in America are "accidental." Increasingly younger, unmarried women (or, as we might say, "girls") find themselves mothers for life — long before they have an inkling of parenthood's titanic, endless consequences.
When I began this work 50 years ago, television barely touched the subject. Today it is drenched with it. Daily shows on major networks hone in on this subject, howling with comments like: "Rodney, you ARE the father!" (How would you get along, born to a 13-year-old mother and no father?)
Global population numbers having just passed the 7 billion mark (twice what it was when I opened a vasectomy clinic in Texas), it is overwhelming to contemplate the world struggling with this flood and its inevitable threats (including starvation, drought, pollution — and what leading scientists predicted long ago would be the main danger to civilization: war).
Unless we act (this legislation, along with China's "one child" policy, is a start), the world is doomed to strangle among coils of pitiless exponential growth.
Norman Fleishman
