Tampa Escorts In The News!

Ever since the plight of families living in motels ran in the St. Petersburg Times on Sunday, the motel has been overwhelmed with offers of support for families there.
A doctor’s office offered to provide a gift for each child and serve families food on Christmas. An anonymous donor asked the Mosley to choose a family once a week and he’d pay for their stay. An older woman drove over from Tampa and said she wanted to bake the children cookies. She admitted that she was homeless once too. A church brought over jars of peanut butter, Hamburger Helper and canned beans and left them at the front desk.
“It has been overwhelming,” Burgess said. “It’s showing that (the Mosley) is not just about drugs and prostitution. It’s about families trying to make it.”

Maybe Monday’s tough games will help me in the Man Vs Machine challenge.  The computer has taken a slight edge in the competition after a convincing win in Sunday’s four games.  It appears my November hot streak is ending, but humanity desperately needs another streak to start or machines could triumph.  We’re halfway through the competition.
Tampa Bay Lightning at Minnesota Wild (-115)
The Lightning have won two in a row, but both games were against the Florida Panthers.  Before that, the Lightning got dominated by the New Jersey Devils and the Toronto Maple Leafs.  Before that, they beat the Penguins.  Immediately before the Penguins win they lost to the lowly Jets and the St. Louis Blues.   They won three in a row including games against the Flyers and Blackhawks in the games immediately before those disappointing losses.  My point?  You just can’t trust the Lightning this season, no matter how sexy their offense is.  It’s like believing that you’re the first person tonight that stripper offered a $50 handjob to.  I’m not saying don’t do it, but move forward with caution.

Norm Roche’s anonymous online snark strains city, county relations
By David DeCamp, Times Staff Writer In Print: Friday, November 18, 2011
Fellow politicians blasted Pinellas County Commissioner Norm Roche on Thursday for using a secret alter ego to zing them, straining city-county relations and the commission’s own dynamics at a crucial time.
Roche’s derogatory comments about St. Petersburg baffled Mayor Bill Foster.
“He comes from a darker place than I can even imagine,” Foster said. “And that’s kind of a window into the psyche of a county commissioner.”
The St. Petersburg Times reported Wednesday that Roche acknowledged writing comments on the Times’ website, tampabay.com, as “Reality.”
Among other things, Reality wrote that St. Petersburg was defined by “thug shootings” and “prostitutes beatings” and “social service recipients.” Other comments questioned the ethics of fellow commissioners.

The board of directors at Winch’s conglomerate — led by reliable and unflappable executive Ann Ferguson (Kristin Scott Thomas) — acts quickly to establish a successor to Nerio Winch.
But the clever Winch, knowing this day would eventually come, has a secret: an adoptive son named Largo who inherits the controlling interest of the company.
In flashbacks, we see how Nerio Winch picked a baby out of a Bosnian orphanage, named him Largo (after 007’s villain in “Thunderball”?) and educated him in finance and the arts before the lad rebelled and took off to become an international man of mystery.
Largo (played with catlike physicality by Tomer Sisley) also inexplicably picks up the skills of Jackie Chan and Jean-Claude Van Damme as he takes on thugs, cops and soldiers who get in his way.
A hot call girl named Lea (Melanie Thierry) also gets in his way, and we can never be sure where her loyalties lie.

Norm Roche continues to demonstrate why he is unfit to hold public office. The Pinellas County commissioner’s online attacks of his colleagues, blacks, gays and the city of St. Petersburg while hiding behind a pseudonym fails to meet the ethical standards expected of elected officials. Roche is exercising his free speech rights, but public officials should stand behind their statements and be held accountable by the voters.
Roche acknowledged to St. Petersburg Times reporter David DeCamp that he posts online as Reality after DeCamp noticed similarities between the postings and Roche’s public statements. Writing as Reality on tampabay.com, the Times’ website, Roche has suggested commissioners Ken Welch and Karen Seel used their offices to benefit relatives or friends. Then there is this offensive attack by Reality on the city of St. Petersburg in a posting about the city’s threat to pull out of the countywide EMS system:
“So because you have more thug shootings, drug od’s, and prostitutes beatings in your city, you should be paid more … now there’s a community goal for ya.”

… So because you have more thug shootings, drug od’s, and prostitutes beatings in your city, you should be paid more … now there’s a community goal for ya,” Reality wrote on tampa­bay.com, the website of the St. Petersburg Times.
Six months earlier, Reality commented on achievement levels in Pinellas schools. “When a white kid and a black kid sit in the same classroom and are given the same information, tasks, and assignments — and the black kid fails — it has nothing whatsoever to do with the teacher, the system, the unions, the funding, or the school. Start with a 70% out of wedlock birth rate.”
…
“I don’t believe they reflect the conduct we expect from county commissioners, especially when you start talking about painting an entire city with words like thugs and prostitutes and blanket terms. I think if you’re going to make those kind of statements, you need to put your name behind them,” said Welch, a Democrat.

The prospective award comes as the state’s various business incentive programs are criticized for their failure to create jobs. A recent analysis found the deals generally lack transparency to the public that is paying for them, and that many companies pledged state money fail to deliver on the jobs they promised.
Wednesday’s incentive deal was unusual in that it identified the company before commissioners actually approved a deal. If Hillsborough is chosen, the company is expected to begin benefiting from its property tax break in 2014.
In other action:
•Commissioners approved an ordinance that would give law enforcement the ability to arrest people for what are considered precursor acts to prostitution, like flagging down cars while strolling the streets. Exposing private areas or asking prospective johns to do the same to prove they are not law enforcement could also result in arrest.
