I thought I'd take this STLS to share a personal story of God's work in my life. I think of it as a miracle because it's something that I worked and worked at...put all I had into it...only to fail miserably. I made zero ground in reaching my goal. It wasn't until I gave it to God and asked for his help that I saw any change. And it wasn't just ANY change...it was a night and day, life-changing, permanent change.
I'm not proud to say it out loud, but there was a time in my life when I felt hate for another human being. Not just strong dislike. Not a preference for not spending time with her. I hated her. (No, I'm not naming names - doesn't really matter anyway). I absolutely felt my blood boil when I was with her. There were times when I even considered uprooting our entire lives to move and get away from this individual.
Again, I'm not at all proud of my feelings at that time. But I feel that I have to share them with you to be able to really describe what God did for me.
I knew that my feelings were wrong. There wasn't even a particular event or conversation that "justified" my feelings. I simply felt hate for her. And do you know what I hated even more than her? The fact that I felt the way I did. I'm on the verge of tears just telling you about it!
I tried to change my heart, I really did. I forced myself to think about the good in her. I tried to remind myself that hate is a sin, and that I needed to stop. After a while, I decided to just act the part....act like I liked or loved her. I went out of my way to say nice things...to do nice things...to smile and be nice. I figured, "hey, I can't change how I feel, but I can choose how to behave." I hoped that my feelings would change with my behavior. It didn't work either.
It got to a point where I was on the verge of being consumed by it. I laid awake at night thinking of her. I dreaded seeing her. I had imaginary conversations with her in my mind. Seriously...it was eating me alive, and I was miserable.
But you know how sin can be? How it can be miserable in some ways and sickeningly sweet in other ways? That's how this was. I felt somehow justified or self-righteous in my anger toward her. I admit...there was a part of me way down deep inside that didn't want to change. It was a vicious battle going on in my own soul. Finally...I couldn't take it anymore.
I don't know why it took me so long to ask for help. I'm a stubborn one, I admit. But I finally asked God for help - I cried out to him in desperation when I didn't know where else to turn.
"Lord, I need a miracle! I don't know what to do to change my own heart. I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing works! I can change how I look...how I act...but I have no idea how to change how I feel. Please, Lord. Please change how I feel toward this person. Help me to stop feeling hate. Better yet, if you will, please help me to love her."
Oh boy, did he deliver!
I've seen miracles of provision. I've seen miracles of faith and healing. But this miracle? It seems the most amazing of all to me. I don't know if it will be as amazing to you because I don't think I have the proper words to fully describe my thoroughly ugly heart before and my thoroughly loving heart after God's work.
I can say with joy and thanksgiving that God changed my very heart. He changed how I felt. Does it seem that your feelings are beyond change or control? I'm here to testify that they are not.
I'm here to testify that a person I once hated, I now love. Truly and completely. I care about her. I feel like hugging her and crying with joy every time I see her. It's as if God took a small piece of his love for her, and simply put it in my heart. That love? It fixes a lot of ugliness. But it doesn't simply cover - it heals. That ugly wound of hatred in my heart was healed.
I've since had the privilege of apologizing to that woman. I had the joy of sharing with her what God had done in my heart (it was a joyful privilege, but I was trembling and crying the whole time I confessed to her and asked her forgiveness). I hope that she can feel my love for her...no, God's love through me...for her.
The reason for my sharing this with you is to encourage you. Do you have something in your life that you know shouldn't be there? Do you want to get rid of it, but don't know how? Maybe you know it's wrong, but there's a small part of you that doesn't really want to change? Or do you feel that there's no hope for that 'something' in your life...that it's just the way you are, the way you were born, the way you're meant to be?
I shared my story to let you know that there is always hope of healing in our wonderful Jesus. He can change what seems to be unchangeable. He can heal deep wounds that have been there for what seems forever, and with seemingly no hope of getting better. And if we don't really 100% want to change? He can still work on your heart. Even our willingness to be transformed can be something he gives us.
But we have to surrender those hurts, those sins, those heart and lifestyle conditions to him. I pray that you'll read this today and be encouraged and inspired to trust the One who made you and who loves you like no other. If you do, you'll never be disappointed by the results. He is trustworthy.
Has God touched your heart in a healing way? Please share!
What a wonderful testemony of what God can do in ones life when we are willing to let Him. I have been blessed by your sharing.
I think part of what helped that change occur is that you were willing to talk to that person and ask forgiveness. I wonder if the same change would have occured if you hadn't, because I can think of things I've prayed desperately for, but haven't taken much action on them, and I guess that's maybe why they're still a struggle.
Thanks for the post and reminders.
Weelassie- I definitely think that an *act* of faith on our part can be very powerful in allowing God to work in our lives.
But in this case? I did not talk to her to confess or ask forgiveness until well after the change in my heart had taken place. I mean WELL after...like years after. And frankly, it wasn't something I really wanted to do, but was something I felt I had strong instruction to do. I'm glad I obeyed because (as it always is with God) I think it was a blessing for everyone involved.
Love the photos . . . . and KINKERBELL is so cute.


Move over iPhone. Hello (not moto but) Softbank 921 SH.
I've always had an immense interest with Japanese phones. I was devastated (and I mean REALLY devastated) that my 2 year old imported 903SH got into a coma and finally died despite numerous attempts of resurrection by kind Mervyn last year. After that, nothing has satisfied my hunger for another comparable phone in the sucky local market.
I'm staying in Tokyo and perhaps I'd be able to meet up with Danny sometime when he's free to bring me around and do fun stuff together.
Gonna hit the books so as to be able to keep up with my class, signing out for now. Cheers!

15 Common Types of Stones for Rings
Are you looking for different types of stones for your ring? Be it diamond or stones other than diamonds, we've got you covered.
There are various types of stones available, each of which comes with their unique set of aesthetics and characters.
From their hardness indicated by Moh's value, clarity, price, and color to the meanings of the stones, we'll discuss 15 types of gemstones you can choose from based on your personality and your preferences and give a beautiful and personal touch to your ring.
1. Diamond
With Moh's scale value of 10, diamond is the hardest stone available. Diamond rings are classic and timeless. Considering its durability, one cannot argue with the fact that diamond is believed to symbolize everlasting love.
However, if you are looking for a more expensive and unique option than a traditional diamond ring, you can go for colored diamonds. Among the many colors available, pink ones are the most expensive.
Although diamond is an extremely popular option, especially in engagement rings, not everyone can afford it as it costs in thousands.
Lying under the corundum family of gemstones, red-colored gemstone ruby, is also one of the most valuable and desired stones, especially among brides. Red symbolizes love and affection, so does the ruby.
With a hardness value of 9, this stone is also highly resistant to scratches and is impressively durable. Burmese Ruby, a deep red colored stone with a faint blue hue, is the brightest and most valuable shade of the ruby.
Ruby, among all colored gemstones, besides colored diamonds, demands the highest price ranging from $100 to $15,000/carat. Ruby is also considered as April birthstone.
3. Sapphire
This is another gemstone that belongs to the family corundum. Many types of fancy pink, yellow, orange, peach, or violet colored sapphires are also available. However, the most celebrated sapphire is bluestone.
With the same Moh's value as of Ruby's, sapphire is the third hardest gemstone. Sapphires represent honesty, trust, and loyalty which makes this stone one of the most popular stones for a promise ring or engagement ring.
Although sapphires are less sparkly, you'll save yourself a huge deal of money if you go with this option. Depending upon the quality, a renowned blue sapphire can cost from $450 to around $1600/carat. Sapphire is also the birthstone for September making it famous in Virgos and Libras.
4. Emerald
Emerald is a gorgeous green stone and ideal for nature enthusiasts with a Moh's value of 7.5-8. Emerald comes in various spectrum of greens ranging from light to deep bluish-green.
Emerald is associated with noble characteristics such as memory, intelligence as well as healing power and growth.
Emeralds, composed primarily of beryl, contain trace amounts of chromium or vanadium which contribute to the green color, whereas iron is responsible for yellowish/bluish tints.
Since emerald has a lower density than that of a diamond, the 1-carat emerald will be larger comparatively. High-quality emerald may range from $525 to $1125 or more. Emerald is the birthstone for babies born in May.
5. Pearl
Also known as 'Queen of gems', it is the only gem formed within a living creature. Although a range of colored pearls are formed, white and cream-colored pearls are very common and high in demand.
Pearls are often associated with purity and innocence. However, the downside of this gem is that these are made of calcium carbonate which is very soft and can scratch or tarnish easily at 2.5 – 4.5 on the Mohs scale value.
Pearls would be an excellent choice of a gem in those rings you're planning to wear occasionally. You can also cover a small piece of pearl and surround it by other gemstones with higher Moh's value.
The average price of a string of pearls can range from $35 to $1000s, depending on type, size, quality, luster, color, and form. Pearl is the birthstone of June babies.
6. Aquamarine
Aquamarines also belong to the family of beryl crystals with an impressive 7.5 to 8 hardness. Aquamarines, however, have greater endurance than their emerald brothers. It is believed that Aquamarine offers bravery, mental insight, and good health.
Aquamarines come in hues of blue and can cost from $10 to $1,000/carat mainly depending on its color, depth, and carat. Aquamarine is the birthstone of March babies.
7. Morganite
Morganite, which lies at Moh's scale on 7.5-8, is a rosy-pinkish feminine stone and an excellent choice for an engagement ring. Morganite crystal is associated with healing, compassion, inner strength, joy, and unconditional love.
Morganite is a type of Beryl crystal and its faint pink color is caused by manganese traces. One big downfall of morganites is that it gets as well as looks dirty sooner.
With color being the most important criteria, the price of morganites can range from about $80 to $450.
8. Alexandrite
Alexandrite, also known as 'emerald by day, ruby by night', is an excellent choice if you want a color-changing stone for your ring. It appears greenish-blue under daylight/fluorescent light and reddish under incandescent light.
Alexandrite can be a very suitable option for your ring since it is extraordinarily durable with a Moh's value of 8.5.
Alexandrite is considered to bring good luck and fortune and is a birthstone of June babies, besides pearls. Top-quality alexandrite costs up to $15,000/carat. However, the price can hike up to $50,000 to $70,000/carat if the stone is over one carat.
9. Peridot
Peridot has its aesthetic uniqueness with its color ranging from shimmering olive to brown-green. Also known as the 'stone of compassion', peridot is also believed to bring good health and peace to relationships by balancing emotions and mind.
With an impressive hardness of 6.5-7, peridot can be a unique choice for your ring, especially if you're born in august or getting married in August, as this stone is the birthstone of the month.
Peridot is extremely affordable and costs about $50-$80/carat. However, for well-cut pieces of around 1-2 carats, prices can hike up to around $450.
10. Topaz
Topaz is an eye-clean stone that comes in several hues and saturations namely pink, red, orange, yellow, green, violet, and, most typically, blue.
One who wears a topaz is considered to receive love and emotional support, thus making topaz a popular stone choice for an engagement ring these days.
The topaz price range can vary from $25/carat for a typical blue sapphire to $3,500/carat for red/pink sapphires, mostly depending on the color, preciousness, and carat.
11. Opal
Just as Alexandrite, opal also exhibits a rare gem optical phenomenon called 'Play of color' which causes multi-colored flashes to move around the gem surface. Every opal stone differs from the other in the pattern, color, or tones making every stone unique.
Opals have a low 5.5 to 6.5 Moh's value making them extremely vulnerable to scratching. They also have great resilience to abrupt temperature changes. Opals are infamous of cracking when moved from room temperature or higher to cold.
As the birthstone of October, the opal symbolizes purity and hope. Rare, high-quality opals can cost up to $1,000/carat, whereas less precious opals reach around $600/carat.
12. Sunstone
Although rare and uncommon, sunstone is a very beautiful stone that comes in warm shades; commonly gold, orange, and brown. As in its name, this stone shimmers and sparkles like the sun. Sunstone is believed to provide energy and radiance to the wearer's life.
With a hardness of 6-6.5, sunstones are not very resistant to scratching and should be properly taken care of. Depending upon color, type, clarity, rareness, and carat, sunstones can cost as low as $25/carat to thousands of dollars per carat.
13. Onyx
Not everyone has a bright taste in gems. Onyx has a hardness of 6.5-7 and comes in its natural and unique black color. Onyx is supposed to help the wearer to fight their fears and with healing.
Black onyx ranges from $1 to $500/carat.
14. Lapis Lazuli
It is one of the oldest and most captivating semi-precious stones with a matt blue color that matches a gold band perfectly. These are very inexpensive and can be replaced easily since with a hardness of 5-5.5, this stone can be easily scratched.
You can buy this stone at less than $1 to $150/carat or more depending upon the color and quality.
15. Labradorite
With a dark base color and metallic-looking color plays of brighter colors, Labradorite exhibits labradorescence which makes them very captivating. It has a hardness of 6-6.5, thus, requiring additional care.
Labradorite is associated with releasing physical, mental, and spiritual tensions. It is extremely affordable and price can range from $1 to $50/carat.
There's a common saying 'The ring always believes that the finger lives for it', which signifies the fact that ring is one such jewelry item that we wear almost every day. As you now know various types of stones that are used in rings, select one, or mix two or more stones that goes with your personality as well as your belief and create a unique piece for yourself.

Distilling a lifetime of learning and travel, Ryszard Kapuściński takes a fresh look at the Western idea of the Other: the non-European or non-American. Considering the concept through the lens of his own encounters in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and considering its formative significance for his own work, Kapuściński outlines the development of the West's understanding of the Other from classical times through the Age of Enlightenment and the colonial era to the postmodern global village. He observes how we continue to treat the non-European as an alien and a threat, an object of study not yet sharing responsibility for the fate of the world. In our globalized but increasingly polarized age, Kapuscinski shows how the Other remains one of the most compelling ideas of our time.

JOHN WILLIAMS has many duties as club chairman of Rainford on match days.
But the 54-year-old got an unexpected call to fulfil another role - that of first team player - in the First Division match against Orrell Red Triangle.
He explained: "One of the first team, Tony Filson, got a call saying his son had been taken to hospital, so I took his place.
"It's five years since I last played first team cricket."
Williams was asked to bat at number 11, and faced only one ball - but what an important one!
The bowler was on a hat-trick and our skipper, Dave Tully, thought it only fair for me to go in and face it. I did, blocked it, and we promptly declared."
A case of short and sweet.

Callilepis is a genus of ground spiders first described by Niklas Westring in 1874. Some are found from Mexico to Canada, others from Europe to India. They are most commonly found in dry areas, sandy roads and beaches.

Description
Individuals of this genus is easily distinguished from other Gnaphosidae by the single translucent lamina on the cheliceral retromargin, the short, angular endites and the flattened, transverse posterior median eyes. These eyes are probably not functional due to a series of ridges. Species range in size from 2.5 to 7 mm. The lateral eyes are larger than the medians. The abdomen is dark gray, longer than wide, with a dark, shiny anterior scutum in males, sometimes with white spots.

Systematics
The species belong to two groups. The nocturna group consists of C. nocturna, C. pluto, C. imbecilla, C. chisos and C. concolor; the schuszteri group of C. schuszteri, C. mumai, C. eremella, C. gertschi and C. gosoga. Although both groups occur on both sides of the Atlantic, no species is holarctic in distribution.

Species
 it contains eighteen species:
Callilepis chakanensis Tikader, 1982 — India
Callilepis chisos Platnick, 1975 — USA
Callilepis concolor Simon, 1914 — Southern Europe
Callilepis cretica (Roewer, 1928) — Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, Azerbaijan
Callilepis eremella Chamberlin, 1928 — North America
Callilepis gertschi Platnick, 1975 — USA, Mexico
Callilepis gosoga Chamberlin & Gertsch, 1940 — USA
Callilepis imbecilla (Keyserling, 1887) — USA, Canada
Callilepis ketani Gajbe, 1984 — India
Callilepis lambai Tikader & Gajbe, 1977 — India

Q: drag and drop not working, dont allow drop on a div Im trying to create an  aplication using drag and drop. When Im trying to drop the element on a div called 'serviciosARealizar', it doesnt allow. Please help
HTML

JAVASCRIPT

A: You might be looking for this;
function dragStart(ev) {
    draggSrcID = ev.target.id;
    dragSrcEl = ev.target;
    ev.dataTransfer.effectAllowed = 'move';
    ev.dataTransfer.setData('text/html', ev.target.outerHTML);
}

function allowDrop(ev) {
    ev.preventDefault();
}

function drop(ev) {
    ev.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(draggSrcID));
    ev.preventDefault();
}

even though the functions aren't the same name, it should still work fine. Just make sure on the images(this only works for images) you add draggable="true" onstartdrag="drop(ev)". Also make sure the images had ids, ANY ids.

A: Your problem is that your images don't have an id only your divs. When you drag you don't drag the divs you drag the images. Take the ids from the divs and put them in the imgs and it works perfectly. I tried it by using the following tags. (also I assume you CSS file has a dimension on the servicosARealizar div otherwise you need to specify a size)

Is it a cultural thing?
source: http://www.keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk/p/keep-calm-and-steal-everything-4/
Since arriving in the UK, my abnormally insensitive mind has begun to pick up on things about the place that most people probably already knew. The most striking of these things is that theft is an important part of British culture, and the more grandiose the better. Prior to coming here I was well aware of the history of the British Empire and how the place I'm from was mercilessly used for British self interest, wrested from the hands of its original inhabitants. I was aware this was also true of many, many countries, all over the world. I was calmly well educated as to how this was based on an immoral culture of theft on the part of the British.
But I thought top hats and tea (apparently also stolen from afar) were far too quaint to belong to a bad culture, so I brushed my education aside. "All this evidence and logic doesn't really mean anything." I convinced myself. "Britain is still a medieval fantasy land where everyone will love me and all my dreams will come true."
But then I watched the news on one of the first nights I spent in the UK. There was a story on a dramatic bank heist. This heist involved happy-go-lucky crims abseiling down elevator shafts and drilling giant holes into secure vaults, evading sleepy security guards and making their getaway with untaxed millions. The crims took the shady contents of secret cabinets, in this bigger-crim swindling escapade. The news crews were all over this. They couldn't get enough.
I thought that was it. The heist gang would surely be hightailing it through the Italian Alps by now, singing their successes on a bus. However they made a critical mistake; the complication in the media's action film, if you will. They missed CCTV cameras in the elevators which they used to cart the gold out of the bank in, disguised as bin men. What the media then did with this footage was the point at which I started to suspect that this was all a bit odd. The news gave the crims nicknames.
They didn't name them to suggest who they were or give identifiers for the purposes of clear exposition. No. Instead the clearly super-excited BBC newsreader gave them names seemingly inspired by the Italian Job. For example there was "The Gent," so named, and in gleeful tones, because the news crews believed him to have shiny shoes, evidenced by the grainy-as-a-beach CCTV footage. I realised they were jumping at every excuse to masturbate over this, admittedly pretty boss, crime.
Maybe this over-excitement runs deeper though. Maybe its why there's pennies here; more opportunities to short-change people. Little thefts, British simple pleasures. Maybe it's why they hate being in the EU; "what is this 'Sharing' you speak of?" they might wonder. You only have to look at a brief synopsis of the Falkland Islands conflict to realise that Britain likes to make a big deal over, even re-theft of, stolen goods. However, by "runs deeper" I meant sex, maybe, yeah why not.
Has all that British reserve, sexual oppression and keeping-face to convince everyone that civility breeds superiority made simple crimes like theft as exciting as a threesome on a private jet? I would wager yes, because I'm writing this article and you can't stop me. There are, I'm sure, many that would argue "yeah, love of crime is just human nature and it's in all of us and we're all unique and beautiful all over the world but we're all actually the same." But it's clearly Britain that has a culture which uses human nature to affect its culture in order to disguise its basic human nature so as to trample other cultures in order to satisfy its collective basic human nature. Or, said with greater complexity, "They act all full of themselves, but they just want your stuff."
Now that I've pleased all the anti-empire commie readers I'm going to have a cup of tea.

The worst paper ever published has competition. I was going to mock this, but it has all rather slipped beyond the Plains of Derision and sunk in a parallel universe. Researcher Jose Duarte is flummoxed, he simply can't explain why a paper so weak was written, but moreso why it was ever published, and why everyone associated with it is not running for cover. It's not so much about the predictable flaws, biased questions, and mindless results, it's now about why UWA, The Uni of Bristol, PLOS, and the Royal Society are willing to wear any of the reputational damage that goes with it.
What's the point of language — especially in science? If you are naive, you might think it's to communicate a fixed concept so everyone understands and can voice an opinion on the same thing. You would be wrong. The real purpose of scientific terms is to motivate the punters to behave differently (especially if that means "give us more money"). That's why the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication has assigned 5 PhD's and a guy called Feinberg to spend days, weeks and months analyzing surveys to find out which propaganda term is more "effective". The simple answer is "global warming" ekes out more fear and pain among democrats than "climate change"; therefore expect to see its use rocket.
The survey sample of 1,657 people, compiled over a two-week period late last year, found a large swathe of Americans turned off by the words "climate change".
The ABC will declare that "most Australians don't think the ABC is biased" but while half the nation thinks it's balanced, 30% don't know, and of the 20% who are sure there is bias, there are three times as many who think it's pro-Labor as those who think it's pro-Coalition. Bear in mind ABC1 only has about 10% of the Australian audience, so 90% of the nation prefers to watch something else. Did the survey ask respondents if they watch the ABC? We might find that of the 20% of the population who are familiar with ABC coverage, most think it's biased to the left. With some probing questions, we might also find that people of different political persuasions define bias very differently. Could it be that those more likely to vote for the Coalition tend to value free speech even if they don't agree with the views?
There is much introspection going on among environmental journalists. Last week, in a remarkably candid piece, Margot O'Neill of the ABC revealed for the first time what the flummoxed and frustrated would-be journalists are discussing behind the scenes.
The admissions are extraordinary. Despite the fact that hardly any of the journalists wrote about Climategate, for many the emails from East Anglia were not just important, but a defining moment (though not, apparently, because it dented their faith in the global warming dogma). Instead, it was the effect Climategate had on editors and others in the office: people who had previously thought climate science was scientific, and environmental journalists were journalists. Suddenly, others realized they had been cheated of the real news, sideswiped by a development none of the supposedly "investigative" reporters saw coming.
Now for the first time, we find out that the formerly respected writers got looks of betrayal.
What the heck are science journalists for?
Last week a science journalist at The Guardian wrote the best summary I have ever seen of the state of the profession known as "science communication". Only, he thought it was a spoof. Well, it is — and it's satirically funny at the same time as being an unwittingly cutting commentary. (We laugh at the formulaic approach because we know it's so true, and then we bang our heads on the wall…).
Science journalists who churn out mindless ritual productions are effectively being PR and marketing writers. Dangerously, though, they are dressed as "investigative" journalists. The public assumes they are checking that their stories don't break laws of logic and reason, that they are supported by evidence, and that they are providing the whole story. Their PR is the most powerful advertising there is, it's not just free, it's a third party endorsement.
Shock: Phil Jones says the obvious. BBC asks real questions.
Here's the short version of that BBC interview. (Wow? Was it really the BBC?) This major re-framing of the story and admission of facts are part of the ClimateGate Virus epidemic. Journalists are starting to ask better questions, and researchers are starting to give better answers. OK, it's not exactly a grilling, but neither is Roger Harrabin allowing the UN to promote its scare campaign without a few seriously-pointed questions. This represents almost as big a turnaround for Harrabin as for Jones (which I'll expand on below). Only two years ago, he claimed skeptics were funded to spread uncertainty, and likened them to tobacco industry lobbyists. How must he feel to suddenly discover they actually had a case worth considering?
UPDATE Mon 23rd: The Australian put this story on Page 1, and added an image file of "quotes" for which they deserve kudos. This blog comments on the online version. The in-print version is better (see at the bottom).
Caroline Overington writes up the story of the hackers breaking in to the East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU), but misses the meat of the story. The Australian can tick the box "Covered", but not tick the box "Incisive".
She includes a few of the emails, but misses the bombshells while wasting column space discussing irrelevancies. As the Australian Senators sit down to assess the meaningfulness of an Emissions Trading Scheme this week, we can only hope they have better sources of information.

Thomas Perry Reed Averette – 1915 – 1986
February 8, 2013 February Photo collage Festival, Reeds#Thomas Perry Reed AveretteKristin
Thomas Perry Averette in the Belmont High School 1933 year book photo – "A smiling, quiet man"
This is the 8th post in the February Photo Collage Festival and the Family History Writing Challenge. Today I am going to write about the youngest child of Hugh and Blanche Celeste, Thomas Perry Averette.
Thomas Perry was born in 1915 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Sometime before 1928 he moved with the rest of his family to a new name and a new life in Los Angeles, California. He graduated from Belmont High School in 1933 and then completed two years of college.
By 1936 he was 21 years old, had registered to vote but declined to give a party affiliation. He was working as an auto mechanic. A field he continued in through the years, although in 1940 his occupation was listed as an Air Hammer Operator for a Deep Well Pump Manufacturer.
Sometime after 1940, Thomas married Geneva Lucile Adams. Their son Thomas Hugh was born in 1943. Pierre Antone was born in 1946. In 1947 he applied for a patent on a Trailer Dolly and Steering Arm. I was surprised today when I googled Thomas Perry Averette to find that he had applied for several patents. From 1947 to 1971 he took out at least five. To see other drawings or download more information on these inventions, click on the links.
Sheepfoot roller used for compacting in road construction.
In 1951 he filed for the first of three patents on the Sheep Foot Tamper. He filed on two more in 1963 and 1967. I thought this was strange because as far as I knew, he never had any dealings with sheep. A little more investigation showed that there was no connection to farming. My husband told me he was familiar with that technology and had seen it applied with the sheepfoot roller used in road construction when he worked for the Michigan Department of Transportation.
15400 Lemac Street, Los Angeles. The house Thomas lived in while doing some of his inventing. Thanks to Google Maps.
In 1971 Thomas filed for a patent for Lifts for Peddles of Musical Instruments which would attach to a piano peddle and raise it to the height comfortable for a child to use. I was able to verify that the inventor Thomas Perry Averette was the same as my Thomas by comparing addresses in the directories to the one on the patent.
Over the years Thomas consistently registered to vote. At first he declined to state his party preference but in 1948 and 1950 both he and his wife, Geneva, registered as Democrats. In 1952, perhaps because of Eisenhower, he switched to Republican. In 1958, when he was back to registering as a Democrat.
Thomas Perry Averette died in 1986 in San Bernadino County, California. His son Pierre died in 1990, his wife Geneva in 1993 and his oldest son Thomas, died in 1996.

First held in 1965 the European Cup (also known as the Europa Cup or Bruno Zauli Cup) was originally contested on a knock-out basis with preliminary rounds, semi-finals and a final. However since 1983 the event has been contested on a divisional basis with promotion and relegation between the various divisions. The A, B and C Finals were retitled Super, First and Second Leagues in 1993, with Super League dropped from the title in 2005. Each nation enters one athlete per event with points scored dependent on position (i.e. 8 points for 1st down to 1 point for 8th). Where teams tie on points position is decided by the number of 1st places, followed by number of 2nd places etc.. Team placings and leading individuals in the Women's A Final/Super League, B Final/First League, C Final/Second League, Semi-Finals and Preliminary Round are listed on separate pages.

Spree – Movie Review (4/5)
Posted by Karina "ScreamQueen" Adelgaard | Aug 11, 2020 | Read Time 4 min.
SPREE is a new serial killer movie starring Joe Kerry from Stranger Things. Both the concept and execution of this plot make it worth checking out. We're in the horror, thriller, comedy genres. Read our full Spree movie review here!
SPREE is a new movie in the horror, thriller, and comedy genres. It's a serial killer story and the killer gets through quite a lot of murders on his killing spree (hence the title). Also, there's an extra edge to it all since he kills people to finally get noticed.
Joe Kerry from Stranger Things stars as the serial killer and he does an awesome job! He is both a total sweetheart geek and a ruthless killer. And he switches between these two "settings" within seconds.
Continue reading our full Spree movie review below.
An Insta-worthy serial killer
Both the concept and execution of this plot are actually pretty brilliant. A geeky kid just wants to go viral but his social media efforts never seem to get much attention. Or any at all. We're almost talking a Napoleon Dynamite kind of character.
Yes, Joe Kerry can be pretty damn geeky, but (unlike Napoleon Dynamite) he is also very kind and a total sweetheart. Well, up until he begins murdering people, obviously.
At first, though, he definitely chooses very carefully and you can understand why he feels the world will be better off without them. However, he is not doing this to help make the world a better place. No, he simply wants to go viral and finally make a name for himself.
It really is a grotesque story in many ways, which is definitely the point. This is highlighted by the fact that one version of the movie poster has the word "Spree" written in the Glee font across the forehead of a blood-splattered Joe Kerry.
Joe Kerry is perfect as Kurt Kunkle
I wasn't sure if Joe Kerry could carry a movie, but with Spree, he proves that he definitely can. Of course, he is actually sort of a geeky sweetheart in Stranger Things as well. But the character of Kurt Kunkle in Spree is nothing like that of the lovable Steve Harrington in Stranger Things.
Actually, I'm really happy that I got to see him in this because now I'm eagerly awaiting whatever comes next. Well, aside from season 4 of Stranger Things, obviously. Joe Kerry was also in the horror movie The Charnel House but that was only a small role.

Also in Spree, you get David Arquette as Kurt's dad, Kris Kunkle. I don't want to give away much about his character, but you get an idea of why Kurt has turned out this way. A great role for David Arquette. Mischa Barton (The OC, The Sixth Sense) also has a small supporting role and takes part in a very memorable scene!
Finally, the biggest character in Spree (other than Kurt himself, of course) is stand-up comedian Jessie Adams. She is portrayed with perfect timing and attitude by Sasheer Zamata ("Saturday Night Live"). She's part of the plot in some way for most of the movie.
For both Joe Kerry and Sasheer Zamata, Spree should show viewers that they are capable of carrying feature films.
Watch Spree wherever you can!
Seriously, if you get the chance to watch Spree in a movie theater, then you should jump at that opportunity. However, if you can "only" watch it at home, then that's definitely great too!
Here in the age of Corona, Spree is the perfect reminder that a pandemic is far from the only disease on the planet. The need for love and adoration of strangers via social media is definitely another. And honestly, the events in this movie do not seem exaggerated at all. Which is creepy as hell!
Director/co-writer Eugene Kotlyarenko has created something very unique with Spree and you don't want to miss it. The other screenplay writer is Gene McHugh and this is his first writing credit. One hell of a way to begin.
The one real downfall of this movie is the fact that it's a bit too long. It's not much but just a ten-minute lull that drags some of the energy out of the movie. This is exactly where Shudder's Host excelled. If you have a story that works perfectly for a one-hour runtime, then go with that and have a very happy audience.
SPREE is out In Theaters, On Digital and On Demand August 14, 2020.
Director: Eugene Kotlyarenko
Writers: Eugene Kotlyarenko, Gene McHugh
Stars: Joe Keery, Sasheer Zamata, David Arquette, Kyle Mooney, Mischa Barton
Meet Kurt, from @KurtsWorld96 (Joe Keery). He dreams of sitting atop a social media empire, but for now he drives for the rideshare company Spree. Fortunately, Kurt has come up with the perfect way to go viral: #TheLesson. He's decked out his car with cameras for a nonstop livestream full of killer entertainment – murdering his passengers. In the middle of all this madness, a stand-up comedian (Sasheer Zamata) with her own viral agenda crosses Kurt's path and becomes the only hope to put an end to his misguided carnage.

I write reviews and recaps on Heaven of Horror. And yes, it does happen that I find myself screaming, when watching a good horror movie. I love psychological horror, survival horror and kick-ass women. Also, I have a huge soft spot for a good horror-comedy. Oh yeah, and I absolutely HATE when animals are harmed in movies, so I will immediately think less of any movie, where animals are harmed for entertainment (even if the animals are just really good actors). Fortunately, horror doesn't use this nearly as much as comedy. And people assume horror lovers are the messed up ones. Go figure!

MERI calls civil unions "unacceptable"; cites disappointment in Fox
tags: general assembly, same-sex marriage
Marriage Equality Rhode Island, the leading advocacy group for same-sex marriage, has issued the following statement in response to House Speaker Gordon Fox's backing of civil union legislation:
The Marriage Equality Rhode Island (MERI) board of directors issued a statement expressing staunch opposition to civil unions now being supported by Speaker Gordon Fox and restated their support for full marriage equality for same-sex couples in Rhode Island.
"Civil unions are unacceptable because they marginalize gay and lesbian couples in very significant ways. The General Assembly will essentially be legalizing a two-class system that subjects thousands of Rhode Island same-sex couples to discrimination. We cannot support legislation that establishes a second class of citizens in Rhode Island," said Martha Holt, chair of MERI's board of directors.
There are 1,138 federal laws and programs in which marriage is a factor. People in civil unions will not be eligible for these benefits or protections even if the federal Defense of Marriage Act ceases to exist.
The word marriage is itself a protection. People with civil unions need to explain themselves to emergency room personnel, relatives, school officials, and bureaucracies. People who are married do not.
"Civil unions are a compromise for no one. Advocates both for and against marriage equality have clearly expressed their opposition to the half measure of civil unions," said Holt. "We are extremely disappointed in the lack of leadership at the State House and we would urge Speaker Fox to rethink sponsoring legislation that would create a second class of citizens."
"Marriage Equality Rhode Island is fully entrenched and will remain in this fight until all of Rhode Island's couples are treated equally under the law. Half measures and second-class rights will not appease us," added Holt.
Marriage Equality Rhode Island volunteers are actively engaged throughout Rhode Island and have been for months. Volunteers are mobilized in every legislative district in Rhode Island, including those of House Speaker Fox and Senate President Paiva-Weed.

Phil Ker receives honorary doctorate
Although every Otago Polytechnic graduation ceremony holds a special place for those involved, today's event at the Dunedin Town Hall was particularly notable.
Presiding over his final ceremony after 16 years as Otago Polytechnic Chief Executive, Phil Ker was conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Professional Practice on Friday 13 March.
OP Council Chair Kathy Grant conferred the Doctorate, noting it recognises a distinguished professional career in academic leadership encompassing more than 45 years.
"The award of an Honorary Doctorate of Professional Practice is appropriate recognition of the extraordinary contribution that Phil has made as a leader, educator and global citizen to Otago Polytechnic, to this community, and to the tertiary education sector over a period of more than four decades.
"As chair of the Council of Otago Polytechnic I am delighted to confer on Phillip Ross Ker the honorary degree Doctorate of Professional Practice.
"Phil's contribution and achievements during his tenure at Otago Polytechnic have impacted our communities, our stakeholders, our region and our people. Phil has certainly lived our vision: He ao ka taea, ka autaia - Our people make a better world."
Phil, who steps down as Chief Executive of Otago Polytechnic in June, took up his appointment in 2004.
Under his leadership, Otago Polytechnic has transformed its performance, reputation and reach, witnessing financial uplift, a continued and sustained upward trend in educational outcomes for its learners and the acknowledgment of the Polytechnic as a high-performing institution with a reputation for innovation.
In 2018, Otago Polytechnic gained the Baldrige-affiliated Performance Excellence Study Award (PESA), a prestigious organisational excellence award of world-class standard - and the first to be awarded to an institution in New Zealand.
Born in Auckland, Phil completed undergraduate studies in Commerce at the University of Auckland, graduating with Honours in 1982. He subsequently completed a Masters of Educational Administration at Massey University, graduating with First Class Honours. He also holds a Trained Teachers Diploma from the Auckland College of Education. He was accepted for and completed study at the Institute for Education Management and Leadership at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education in 2001.
Phil's professional and academic career has been dedicated to tertiary education, initially at what was then the Auckland Institute of Technology. By the time the Institute became the Auckland University of Technology in 2000, he held the position of Executive Director of Corporate Services, having also completed a three-year term as president of the New Zealand Polytechnic Teachers Union.
Phil has championed key innovations in our sector. From EduBits (Otago Polytechnic's micro-credentialling service) though Capable NZ, supporting work-based learning, to the creation of flagship facilities such as the Otago Brew School at our Central Otago Campus, a campus in Auckland for international students in partnership with Future Skills, and most recently our heavy automotive facility here in Dunedin. All of these initiatives are helping to meet the growing demand for just-in-time and work-based learning while addressing the changing skills needs of future employees.
But Philr's contribution to the sector has not been limited to the institutions at which he has worked. As a Director of Ako Aotearoa he has worked to support capability-building for learner success across the national sector. Chairing Ako Aotearoa's Tertiary Excellence Awards Committee, he has helped to shape the way in which we honour and recognise our outstanding practitioners.
As a Director of the Malcam Charitable Trust, and a Board member of ITP Quality and Te Tapuae o Rehua, he has worked to provide effective development opportunities to empower people to realise their potential and achieve stronger communities. He has played a pivotal role in the Tertiary Accord of New Zealand (TANZ), an accord between seven of New Zealand's ITPs which promotes best-practice in applied education and models leadership for a better vocational education system in New Zealand.
Most recently, Phil's leadership in education has been called upon by the Establishment Board of the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology – he is chairing two of the seven work streams tasked with co-designing elements of the new Institute.
"Phil's enduring vision and application of his professional ethos in every day practice have had a powerful effect on individuals' autonomy, professional identity and personal wellbeing," Kathy Grant said when conferring the award.
"Phil has tirelessly advocated for, and modelled, a servant leadership ethos. He has consistently encouraged a values-driven approach to facilitating the best outcomes for all learners, here and further afield.
"Always with an eye on the future, he has conceptualised, driven and delivered innovation in tertiary educational practice which will serve this country well as it transitions into a new era of vocational education."
Congratulations, Phil!

Not Paying Withholding taxes to the IRS is Tax Evasion – Kim Jenkins Brandveen plead guilty – faces Prison sentence
RICHMOND, Va. – Kim Jenkins Brandveen, 50, of Petersburg, Va., pleaded guilty today to tax evasion as part of a multi-year scheme involving various durable medical supply companies she owned.
Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and Jeannine Hammett, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation's Washington, D.C., Field Office, made the announcement after the plea was accepted by United States District Judge Henry E. Hudson.
Brandveen was indicted on June 7, 2011 and today pled guilty to one count of tax evasion. Brandveen faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison when she is sentenced on November 18, 2011.
In a statement of facts filed with her plea agreement, Brandveen admitted being the owner of Healthcare Solutions Medical Supply, LLC, which sold durable medical equipment and provided home health services. Brandveen directed the withholding of federal employment taxes from the paychecks of that business's employees, but regularly and systematically failed to pay those taxes over to the IRS, instead using those funds for other business ventures and personal expenses.
When the IRS undertook collection efforts, Brandveen ceased operation of that business and abandoned its bank accounts. She then created a new business, Healthcare Solutions Service Corporation, a virtually identical business performing largely the same functions from the same location with the same employees. That business also failed to pay over employees' withheld employment taxes to the IRS, again using them for Brandveen's other business ventures and personal expenses. When the IRS undertook to hold Brandveen personally responsible for the failure to pay the employment taxes, she misled the IRS by falsely asserting that a relative was actually the party responsible for paying those taxes.

Don't mess with the IRS – Tuscon restaurant owner Mary Martino guilty of tax issues…
Operating a restaurant…and diverting monies to personal use…and not filing returns – that's a recipe for disaster.
Mary Brooke Martino, 61, of Tucson, pleaded guilty on Thursday in federal district court to willfully subscribing and filing a false 2004 Individual Income Tax Return. Martino was charged with willful subscription and filing of a false tax return prior to her plea.
Mary Brooke Martino is married to Anthony Martino, 63, also of Tucson. They are the owners and operators of Anthony's in the Catalinas, a restaurant which is a C corporation and incorporated under the name A.M. Restaurant Corporation. Mary Martino was primarily responsible for office operations of the restaurant. Anthony Martino was primarily responsible for restaurant and catering operations. From 2002 through 2006, the Martinos diverted at least $100,000 from the financial accounts maintained by the restaurant for their personal use during each year. On the books and records of the corporation, the diverted monies were classified as either business expenses or loans to shareholders. The couple had federal corporate income tax returns, Forms 1120, prepared for 2002 through 2005, but did not file the 2003 return. The other returns were filed late. The defendant and her spouse did not timely file federal individual income tax returns for 2002 through 2006 until after being contacted by Special Agents of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, on February 22, 2008. On March 3, 2008, the defendant and her spouse then filed hand-written Forms 1040EZ which only reported gambling winnings, and no other income for either the defendant or her spouse for any of the five tax years, whether from the operation of Anthony's in the Catalina's or other sources. The government contends that the tax loss is more than $200,000 but not more than $400,000. The defendant contended that the applicable tax loss is more than $80,000 but not more than $200,000.
A conviction for willful subscription and filing of a false tax return carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both. Sentencing is set before Judge David C. Bury on October 19. 2011.

You can't hide from the IRS! Eliseo Roquiz, an anesthesiologist, pleads guilty to filing a false document with IRS… Perhaps he'll meet Wesley Snipes in prison…?
Don't mess with the IRS…it really isn't worth it. Wesley Snipes tried and look where it got him – 3 years in federal prison. How's that for putting a career on hold.
Eliseo Roquiz of Erie, Penn., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Sean J. McLaughlin of the Western District of Pennsylvania to charges of filing a false document with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Justice Department and IRS announced.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Dr. Roquiz, an anesthesiologist, used multiple tax fraud promoters to prevent the IRS from assessing and collecting his income taxes. In 1998, Dr. Roquiz established two sham trusts with the assistance of a California-based organization called National Trust Service and paid an affiliate of National Trust Service to prepare false individual and trust tax returns for him for the years 1998, 1999 and 2000. As part of the fraud, Dr. Roquiz had medical providers pay fees for his services to the sham trusts and then claimed false deductions on the trust returns to reduce the taxes on the income to zero. Dr. Roquiz also opened bank accounts in the name of the sham trusts and transferred title to his personal residence to one of the trusts.
According to court documents and statements made in court, in 2003, after the IRS began to audit his tax returns, Dr. Roquiz hired American Rights Litigators/Guiding Light of God Ministries (ARL/GLGM), an organization located in Florida that sold abusive tax schemes, to send obstructive and frivolous correspondence to the IRS in response to notices that the IRS sent to Dr. Roquiz. After ARL/GLGM was permanently enjoined in February 2004, Dr. Roquiz hired a third fraud promoter, Joseph Saladino, to file frivolous amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Returns (IRS Forms 1040X) for the years 2000 and 2001
According to public documents and statements, Dr. Roquiz's efforts to disrupt IRS collection activities culminated with the submission of three false Collection Information Statements for Wage Earners and Self-Employed Individuals (IRS Forms 433-A) between January and June 2005. All three Forms 433-A, which Dr. Roquiz signed under penalties of perjury, were materially false in that Dr. Roquiz failed to disclose that he had transferred his personal residence to his sham trust and that he was a party to a lawsuit. The second and third Forms 433-A, which Dr. Roquiz submitted in May and June of 2005, were also materially false in that Dr. Roquiz failed to disclose the existence of a bank account that he opened in the name on an LLC he had established in New Mexico.
As part of the plea agreement, the parties agreed that the tax loss associated with Dr. Roquiz's conduct was $342,361.11 plus interest.
The charge against Dr. Roquiz carries a maximum sentence of up to three years in prison. Sentencing is set for Nov. 15, 2011.
Perhaps Dr. Roquiz will meet Wesley…

Self-taught Tax Return Preparer – Tomeka Winberly – Convicted of Preparation of Fraudulent Tax Returns
A federal jury in Miami returned guilty verdicts against Tomeka Wimberly on twenty-four counts of aiding and assisting in the preparation of fraudulent income tax returns.
The evidence at trial revealed that Wimberly was a "self-taught" tax preparer who prepared thousands of false tax returns between 2004 and 2005 which resulted in her clients receiving thousands of dollars in bogus refunds. The false returns reported fictitious and/or inflated deductions for un-reimbursed employee business expenses, charitable contributions, mortgage interest, and investment deductions, as well as false education, child care, and child and dependent expenses. During her first year in business, Wimberly prepared over 700 tax returns and obtained more than $2 million in refunds. By 2006, Wimberly prepared more than 1000 tax returns and obtained more than $4 million in refunds.
Wimberly faces a maximum sentence of up to 72 years' imprisonment and a maximum fine of up to $2.4 million dollars. Sentencing is scheduled for September 20, 2011, before United States District Court Judge Paul C. Huck.

Snipes worried about Prison – looking for Supreme Court Relief! What will prison be like for Wesley?
Appearing on Larry King Live – Wesley Snipes took his argument to stay out of prison to the public stating that he was hopeful that the system of justice will smile in his direction if (and that's a big if) the Supreme Court hear his appeal. Will they? DOUBTFUL.
"We still have prayers out there. We still believe in miracles. So don't send me up the river yet," Snipes said in an interview on Larry King Live last night. Tomorrow he will report to Federal Prison in PA and begin what will be a life changing event for him – over 30 months of confinement in federal prison.
Snipes' avoided felony charges in his tax trial, but was convicted of misdemeanors for not filing tax returns in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
"I think any man would be nervous if his liberty is at stake," Snipes said. "I'm disappointed that the system seems not to be working for me in this situation."
According to Prosecutors, Snipes earned $40 million since 1999 but had filed no returns and had been involved in a tax resisters group. The head of the tax resisters group was found guilty of felony tax evasion and is actively serving a prison sentence now. Of course, instead of accepting responsibility, Snipes disputed such involvement and said that the failure to file was his advisers' fault.
"This is another thing that has been misreported: It has been framed that I was a conspirator and that I was an architect in a scheme by an organization that has been characterized as tax protesters," Snipes said. "The press hasn't reported that I was a client of people who I trusted [who] had knowledge and expertise in the areas of tax law that would protect my interests."
Personally, I think that Wesley is guilty of attempting to find innocence instead of stepping up or manning up and telling the truth. Wesley isn't stupid, he's quite capable. Yes, he was knee deep in the throws of believing that this tax protester group had something and that something was an argument that he'd avoid having to pay taxes on a substantial sum of money.
BIG WIN FOR THE IRS
Having face a few losses in this area – one especially from an attorney in Louisiana – the IRS could not afford to let Snipes go free. He was far to public a figure and if Snipes won, many followers of the tax avoidance scheme would become followers and have a dramatic impact on undermining the system of tax compliance in this country.
According to a CNN article:
But prosecutors, in their sentencing recommendation, said the jurors' decision "has been portrayed in the mainstream media as a 'victory' for Snipes. The troubling implication of such coverage for the millions of average citizens who are aware of this case is that the rich and famous Wesley Snipes has 'gotten away with it.' In the end the criminal conduct of Snipes must not be seen in such a light."
Snipes suggested he was unfairly singled out by prosecutors.
"It does seem to be rather unusual and rather bizarre when you had a prosecutor come into the sentencing and say that this is the biggest tax trial in the history of the IRS," Snipes said. "I think there is a certain amount of selectivity going on here."
Honestly, the prosecutors were right. If Snipes went free…all heck would break loose when it comes to tax compliance.
"There have been some egregious and very malicious efforts to report the facts of this case," Snipes said. "I was never charged with tax evasion. I've never been a tax protester."
Wesley come on…man up here big guy. Accept the fact that you weren't just relying on a reputable firm when you made the choices you did. You were on the fringe – no where close to main stream when it came to your responsibilities as a US citizen. And, you know above all, if the government could have convicted you on tax evasion they would have. You got lucky. Your only bad luck was being sentenced to prison for failure to file. I admit – that is unusual – but I also understand. If you'd filed and paid as you should have you'd be home with your family this Christmas…not in prison.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN PRISON
Those first steps in are tough. You know as you walk through the door that life is about to change dramatically!
More than likely you'd be placed in a holding cell once you arrive. You'll be given a set of rules to read and while you sit there – potentially for hours, you'll have time to think about what you're facing. You'll think about what you've done that got you here and soon…you'll come to grips with whether you still want to believe that you're a victim or whether you'll accept that your choices got you there.
When the keys jingle and the door opens to let you out…you'll be seen (more than likely) by a physician's assistant who will give you a TB test and soon thereafter you'll be taken to the laundry where you'll receive your prison uniform and bedding. Once received you'll walk holding your new clothing across the prison compound for all to see – a fresh new inmate – "Blade" behind bars – potentially a target. As you step into your cell you'll meet your cell mate and at that moment you become "one of them" – life will change.

Wesley Snipes to report to PRISON! Still he seems to be fighting the already lost battle…
Appearing to be somewhat obstinate to the end, Wesley Snipes convicted for tax crimes is headed to prison – much like I predicted over two years ago. Snipes is scheduled to report to Federal Correctional Institution McKean at Lewis Run, Pennsylvania on December 9.
The crime Wesley was convicted of was failing to file his tax returns – although he was honestly involved in a movement that believes that taxing income is unconstitutional and illegal.
Here's the post that discusses Wesley's conviction – https://chuckgallagher.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/wesley-snipes-sentenced-36-months-in-prison-for-failure-to-file-tax-returns/
A 36 month sentence means that Wesley will serve 30+ months in Federal Prison.
Snipes appealed his conviction, but lost. After his defeat it was clear that prison was the practical outcome. Now, having been there personally, I have the deepest empathy for Wesley. Prison time moves slowly. The one that that is true is that it will give Snipes a new perspective and opportunity for self-reflection.
Likewise, on a practical note, I guarantee he will file and pay his taxes moving forward. I know many men who were imprisoned for tax crimes including not filing and paying their taxes. All, when released, had given up the hope that somehow they could avoid the IRS or Federal Government. Personally, I don't care about the argument related to taxes – rather I care about my freedom.
About the Prison – FCI McKean, PA
McKean is a medium security facility housing male inmates. An adjacent satellite prison camp houses minimum security male offenders.
FCI McKean is located in northwest Pennsylvania between Bradford and Kane, Pennsylvania. It is situated 90 miles south of Buffalo, New York, off Route 59; and approximately 1/4 mile east of the intersection of State Route 59 and U.S. Route 219.

Paul Pogue Prison sentencing set for August 27th… Outcome: Probation or Prison?
I know what it feels like on a day like today. Much like Paul Pogue has done or is doing, I, too, walked up the steps into a federal courthouse, faced a judge and heard a verdict that was life changing. I, too, like Paul Pogue had plead guilty to tax evasion. Our circumstances were quite different, but the crime, in the eyes of the law, was the same.
Today – Paul Pogue – steps before a judge and finds out his sentence.
For more details my past post is here: https://chuckgallagher.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/paul-pogue-texan-guilty-of-tax-evasion-it-is-that-time-of-year/
In my case the judge said – "18 months active and 3 years probation" – and with that the gavel fell and my life changed.
By the time this is posted, Paul has likely heard his sentence. And, while I have no crystal ball, I would suspect from the reported crime and amount of tax evaded, Paul will receive a sentence much like mine. I'd guess 12 to 18 months active with probation following as well as order to pay back taxes, interest and penalties. Probation is possible, but based on the sentence in another Dallas tax evasion case where a 40 month sentence was issued, it will be interesting to see if the court is lenient on Mr. Pogue.
UPDATE: JUDGMENT – PROBATION 3 YEARS
When the sentence is reported…I will update this blog for those who follow. Meanwhile, the following should be noted:
Good people can make bad choices and every choice has a consequence which can include Prison!
We must face the consequences of our choices and we will either – from future choices become victims or victors!
Paul and his family will need your support and kindness during this process which I bet is unfamiliar territory!

Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem.
Biotic factors refer to the living organisms, both macro- and micro-organisms, including the various ways in which they affect plant growth and development. These organisms are the living components of the environment which influence the manifestation of the genetic factor on phenotypic expression.
Macro-organisms refer to the animals such as humans and other mammals, birds, insects, arachnids, molluscs, and plants while microorganisms include fungi, bacteria, virus and nematodes.
The effects of these living factors on plant expression may be advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on how they interact with the plant.
