Do the community a favor, plead guilty and go to prison. This will prevent tax dollars being wasted on trying you, or providing you a defense.

You would not need a lawyer if you had not been selling drugs.

See site drug lawyer.

Spend a pile of taxpayers’ dollars to keep the guy in jail. Meanwhile his loser friends simply buy their pot from someone else. Nothing gained. Unless we are talking serious quantities, distribution on school grounds or gang related, put the guy in an orange jump suit and make him pick up trash by the roadside or scrub gang tags off walls every weekend for a month, then kick him out of the system.

Unless you were selling something bigger than pot, you probably cannot afford the best lawyer in the area. Find a crim defense lawyer that recently left the Loudoun Commonwealth Attorney’s office.

A commercial fabricator is probably not familiar with certain aspects of residential construction. In particular, homes tend to be a little more “loose” in their tolerances, so be careful — we had to get several areas re-framed because the stainless was very square and straight and the framing was not.

Get price quotes for different gauges of steel, as this will vary the price dramatically. I went with a thinner 14ga on the low-traffic surfaces and 12ga on the heavy-use areas.

Be sure to specify what kind of lip you want on the underside, or you’ll probably just get it cut straight. Also, be sure to specify cosmetic details like where welds will be done and how they’re finished, how corners will be finished, etc.

Get the plumber involved, particularly if the stainless fabricator is building the sink into the counter. We had a problem where the fabricator didn’t make the drain opening large enough to fit a standard sink basket, and cutting a larger hole is very difficult.

Good luck — they look awesome, and they’re great if you cook a lot!

In addition, she has won the ACM’s Top Female Vocalist award for the last two years in a row and is the American Music Award’s reigning Favorite Country Female. She’s in contention again this year for the AMA. The awards will be held on November 16.

Martina was nominated alongside Dolly Parton, Patty Loveless, Terri Clark and Alison Krauss for the CMA’s prize. “I am so honored to be in this category,” said McBride. “I don’t know why it is me up here, but I am very grateful and proud.” Close friend Faith Hill presented McBride with the award after McBride performed her latest single, “In My Daughter’s Eyes,” from her eighth RCA Records album Martina.

Adding to her monumental week, it was also announced earlier today that Martina has been certified GOLD in just over a month by the Recording Industry Association of America. Martina was released on September 30 and debuted at the #1 spot on the country charts selling more than 122,000 copies its first week in stores. This was Martina’s highest scanning debut of her career – more than doubling the sales of her last studio effort, Emotion which came out in 1999. Martina’s White Christmas CD was also certified PLATINUM this week.

With no time to rest on her laurels, Martina is currently busy rehearsing for her heralded Gillette Passion Venus Presents Martina McBride’s The Joy of Christmas tour which kicks off on November 28. The grand scale multi-media holiday concert will play through December 22 in cities across the nation. Plans are also underway for a major tour in 2004 which will be announced this week.
MARTINA MCBRIDE JOINS TAMMY WYNETTE, LORETTA LYNN AND REBA MCENTIRE AS THE ONLY WOMEN TO HOLD THREE CMA FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR AWARDS Nashville, TN (November 11, 2003) – As Martina McBride walked onstage to pick up her third CMA Female Vocalist of the Year award Wednesday night, she also stepped into an elite group alongside Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn and Reba McEntire as the only women to ever receive three CMA Female Vocalist of the Year trophies. This is Martina’s second consecutive CMA Female Vocalist win. She also won in 1999. In addition, she has won the ACM’s Top Female Vocalist award for the last two years in a row and is the American Music Award’s reigning Favorite Country Female.

“A Reality Tour” finds BOWIE delivering some of the best performances of his career, merging material from his current critically hailed ISO/Columbia Records album REALITY (“New Killer Star,“ She’ll Drive The Big Car” and “Reality” among them) with songs from his illustrious body of work. Rotating set lists include songs such as: “Suffragette City,” “Cactus,” “Battle For Britain,” “Under Pressure,” “Sister Midnight,” “I’m Afraid Of Americans,” “The Man Who Sold The World,” “Fantastic Voyage,” “Rebel Rebel,” “Hang On To Yourself” and “Heathen.”

The new tour dates arrive as BOWIE earns some of the highest critical praise in his celebrated career. In fact, the tour was cited as the second “Best Tour” of the year after Radiohead in the

“Critics’ Picks” section in the Rolling Stone “Music Awards 2003” poll (2/5/04). The magazine also praised his sold out December 15 show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden (1/22/04 issue): “Bowie keeps finding new ways to seduce a crowd and make fans come back for more…Toward the end, he began busting out the surefire anthems, including a ferocious ‘Heroes,’ the timely ‘I’m Afraid of Americans’ and the climactic one-two punch of ‘Suffragette City’ and ‘Ziggy Stardust’.”

With more than 120+ million records sold, over 80 Number One singles and countless awards under their hats (or Hawaiian shirt), the superstars will share equal billing to showcase some of their biggest hits and fan favorites – alone and together. This historical concert extravaganza kicks off with Jackson, followed by Strait, Buffett and close with an extraordinary finale of all three. Tickets range from $39.50 to $125 and go on sale to the general public Saturday, April 3rd at 10:00 a.m. Tickets may be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets by calling 214-373-8000 and online at www.ticketmaster.com.

“The three of us have talked about doing this for some time,” admits Strait. “We’ve had the pleasure of working with each other before and not only do we enjoy each other’s music but we have a lot in common. Sharing the same stage will be a great time for us as well as the fans. The only draw back will be choosing which songs to do and which ones we have to leave off.”

Texas treasure, George Strait holds the career record for CMA nominations with seventy-one and the record for the most number one singles by a single artist in any genre. Strait has released 31 albums, all of which have hit gold or platinum status, selling over 62 million copies total. His latest release, Honkytonkville, is nominated for ACM’s Album of the Year. Strait and Jackson won the 2000 CMA Award for Vocal Event of the Year for “Murder on Music Row” and toured – together during the 2001 George Strait Country Music Festival.

Reigning CMA Entertainer and Male Vocalist, Alan Jackson is currently nominated for eight ACM Awards including Single, Song, Video and Vocal Collaboration of the Year for the eight-week #1 hit, “It’s Five O’clock Somewhere” with Jimmy Buffett. Propelled by the success of “It’s Five O’clock Somewhere” and the chart-topping, “Remember When” (Jackson’s 31 #1 single), his Greatest Hits Volume II CD was recently certified triple platinum. Jackson’s 2004 tour is one of country’s hottest tickets on the road with capacity crowd concerts across the country.

In 2003, singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett released Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection – a two-CD retrospective certified double platinum, a mini DVD “MiniMatinee #1”, and four live double CDs from select shows on his 2003 summer tour. His newest CD, License to Chill, is scheduled for release later this year and includes cuts with both Strait and Jackson. Buffett is nominated for four ACM Awards including Single, Song, Vocal Event and Video of the Year for “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.” Buffett and Jackson won Vocal Event of the Year at the 2003 Country Music Association Awards for their duet and were nominated for a 2004 Grammy Award.

USING HIS MOTIVATION TO SUCCEED, Brandon contacted some of his favorite bands about booking shows with them. Some of these many bands were: Knockout (Fearless Records), Starstruck (Chicago Pop Punk). The Dog & Everything (Chicago Rock), Park (Lobster Records), & Split Habit (on an Asian Man Compilation). Also, Brandon was able to book an 8-day long tour with Short Arm Trick (Chicago Pop Punk), with Dumbstruck (California Pop Punk) playing 3 of the shows. Due to his ability to help other bands, bigger bands are now contacting Brandon about booking shows with/for them.

ON JANUARY 10, 2003, only 3 months after forming, Nothing Counts played their first show ever. They played this show without a bass player. After the show they got many compliments, but also positive criticism from local bands and friends ’2nd Best’ and ‘Led By Last’. The popular idea was that Nothing Counts had a great sound, but definately needed a bass guitarist. The guys contacted a friend of theirs, Dan Wakefield (bass guitar), about playing bass. He gladly accepted the vacant position. Dan learned most of the songs in one week, and was ready for the bands’ second show on January 18.

NOW, AS A COMPLETE BAND, Nothing Counts has been on a roll. They have recieved compliments from many other bands and fans, and have been personally asked by venue owners to come back in the near future. With their motivation and determination toward their music, and their ability to have a great time on and off the stage, they seem to be well on their way to fulfilling their goal: to get to the point where they can play music full time, and not have to work another job on the side just to get by.

As the band was getting started, they practiced day in, day out, and started writing new songs. The chemistry started off so well that it almost seemed easy. They all had different styles, which brings an original sound to them. When people started finding out about the new band, many wanted to come to Pete’s basement, just to watch a practice. This was huge for the new band, to see that people actually cared enough to want to come watch a practice. Finally, they had a chance to play their first show. It was at the American Legion in Cedar Rapids, with a crowd of approximately 80 people. Last Place was the only punk band there, the rest were death metal. There was one punk fan in the entire crowd. This of course would make it hard on the band, yet somehow when they got on stage, it got all people into it, even the metal fans. Over the course of time, they’ve played several shows, including playing with local band 2nd Best, which helped get Last Place off to a good start. The members of Last Place would like to thank 2nd Best for all the help they’ve offered. Last Place is already headlining their own shows, in front of crowds in the hundreds. The success of the band is due to hard work, motivation and love for punk music in general.

Founded by Sean Dowdy, Adam Strunk, and Luke Dowdy in August of 1999, cLoNe began as a group of idealistic teenagers wanting to immortalize a sound that was just itching to come out. After the torturing process of going through drummer after drummer, the three musketeers asked their good friend and fellow musician J.R. Baird to hop on a trap set and kick out the jams with them. Already an experienced guitar player, it took J.R. no time to give the band a unique and solid rhythm on the skins. Although cLoNe has been through trials and changes in its lineup, these four fukkers make up the present cLoNe….kickin’ ass and takin’ names but gettin’ sick of takin’ names.

After releasing a rough early demo “Plush Safe He Think” and a subsequent live album “Live at Barnfest”, cLoNe recorded an up-to-date demo in the summer of 2002 at Harrison Studios in Springfield, IL. “cLoNe demo #637″ was released on the band’s own independent label “Polyester Records” and is growing in popularity and success, receiving radio play from 92.7 WQLZ in Springfield, IL, 88.3 WQNA in Springfield, IL, and 90.7 WVKC in Galesburg, IL. Two tracks off the demo “pushing me (praGue)” and “even-steven” have been extremely successful on the local band top ten countdown on WQLZ’s Bandemoniun. Both tracks have consistently been on the top ten with “pushing me (praGue)” peaking at #5 and “even-steven” peaking at #2…the latter remaining on the countdown to the present day.

cLoNe is currently seeking management and playing shows all around the mid-west bringing their interesting, abstract, and diverse sound to all of its current and future fans. These four young superheroes are rawking the Central Illinois music scence…with plans to tear up shitt nationwide. Watch out for these guys folks…they’ve got hair on their ballz and they’re takin’ on all of the Biffs!
