Yes, that is the same one.

Cool video, no?

Beautiful area. Am interested in the answer to the question.: “Are we ceding to river to Mexico now?”

Thank you for sharing Jemian...you bring so much to our Train. Story telling is certainly your art. Sadly, its dying unless you and others pass it on. You're an important part of the circle...Rusty did you father share stories. Unfortunately my mom and grandmother would talk in whispers. Someone once said to me, too many people are selfish by not sharing themselves. I don't think I quite understood his real meaning until perhaps now. Books are failing so its back to people passing on the stories. Take care.

Officer David Kellywood was only 26 years old.

Someone said at a family party ...did China release the virus in order to control their people? This was said out of the blue. She looked at me and said...they're not able to riot now can they.

Hello, NIKK. Neat food hacks. Some I use. You have a great day, too.

[lysie]

Thanks.

I'm glad your here for me to ask. I have to make trays for a wedding reception. I want to serve sliced apples but afraid they will turn brown..they have to be natural because several of us are very allergic to so much....if when I cut them..can I have them fall into a bag and then seal the bag as soon as its full each time? Do I need to do as the video and place a straw inside and take the air out? Will this actually help keep these fruits fresh?

[Lakeside Granny]

And something else, this Coronavirus has the possibility, if it continues, to really hurt the economy badly.

Will people take the time to analyze why or just blame Trump?

My 90 year old aunt just sent me this in an email. It may be old, but 1st time I have seen it.

This is new and exciting news….

A major research laboratory has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named, Pelosium.

Pelosium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Pelosium's mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Pelosium molecule, leading to the formation of isodopes.

This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.

When catalyzed with money, Pelosium activates CNNadnauseum, an element that radiates orders of magnitude more energetic, albeit as incoherent noise, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons as Pelosium.

A good one, funny!

I am off to tutor in a few minutes, not my usual time but asked to come in later as there was an assembly this morning.

Then I’m off to Slaveway.....

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tuesday, February 18, 2020

Massachusetts State Representative Charged with Embezzling Campaign Funds, Bank Fraud and Tax Fraud BOSTON – Massachusetts State Representative David M. Nangle was arrested today and charged in federal court in Boston with illegally using campaign funds to pay for his personal expenses, defrauding a bank to secure loans to repay debts, and collecting income that he failed to report to the IRS.

Nangle, 59, of Lowell, was indicted on 10 counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, nine counts of making false statements to a bank and five counts of filing false tax returns. Nangle was arrested this morning and will appear in federal court in Boston this afternoon.

Nangle has been the elected member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives for the 17th Middlesex District since 1999. It is alleged that Nangle, a former House Ethics Committee Chairman, used his campaign committee’s debit card to make personal purchases, including thousands of dollars in gift cards for his personal use, among other things.

It is further alleged that Nangle, who was heavily in debt, gambled extensively at area casinos and online, and then used thousands of dollars in campaign funds to pay for various personal expenses such as dues at a local golf club, rental cars to travel to casinos, flowers for his girlfriend, gas, hotels, and restaurants. According to court documents, Nangle knew that using campaign funds for personal use was prohibited and subject to oversight by an independent state agency, and concealed his theft by filing false reports that disguised the personal nature of the spending.

From at least 2014, Nangle devised a scheme to obtain loans from a bank in order to fund his gambling activities and to repay his personal debts. Nangle allegedly did so by making false statements on loan applications, misstating his income and understating his debt.

According to the indictment, Nangle filed false tax returns for tax years 2014 to 2018 by reporting fictitious business deductions for purported “consulting” work that he did for a Billerica company. Nangle allegedly double dipped on deductible expenses arising from his work as a state legislator, fraudulently claiming thousands of dollars in false deductions for alleged charitable donations, and misleading his tax preparer.

Nangle also allegedly concealed the income he received through goods and services from business owners and other sources. This included $7,000 in kitchen and bathroom work done in Nangle’s home and $7,000 in check payments from a contractor; gambling income from a Connecticut casino; and thousands of dollars that he stole from his campaign account.

The charge of wire fraud provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000. The charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a bank each provide for a sentence of up to 30 years in prison, five years of supervised release and a fine of $1 million. The charge of filing false tax returns provides for a sentence of up to three years in prison, one year of supervised release and a fine of $100,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling; Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division; and Kristina O’Connell, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigations in Boston made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dustin Chao and Kunal Pasricha of Lelling’s Criminal Division are prosecuting the case.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. ******************

NIKK...Sorry for the length but some here have a problem with twitter.

What I remember most about Obama era jobs numbers is that they talked about “jobs created or SAVED” whatever that means.

[STARLIT]

Good one Jessi..LOL

[JudyinCanada]

Another police officer, and so young. So sad. It reminds me of that young officer Singh - awful.

[Vipper]

I want to serve sliced apples but afraid they will turn brown..they have to be natural because several of us are very allergic to so much...

Not Lysie, but for allgery issues this is the best method, though I just mix into a citrus acid and water mix.

Mix 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt into 1 cup of cool water until dissolved. Add your sliced apples and soak for about 10 minutes. Drain the apples and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

[Freee-dame]

The recently arrested State Representative David Nangle, is a member of the Democratic Party. If that fact is in the quite extensive article, it is well hidden. When an alleged perp is a Republican, the party is written over and over. If he is a Dem, then the preferred word is Representative or its easily misinterpreted abbreviation “Rep”. The dishonest media.

[jennychase]

The pardons are starting today.

Former 49ers owner DeBartolo already announced. More to come.

[STARLIT]

Thank you so much Vipper! That really helps me.

[lysie]

Yes. I would put them in a sealed plastic bag with the air out. Make sure the bag is sealed right after the straw is out.

If not doing the plastic bag , some say to keep the apples submerged in water before serving.
