Becrux may try Poly in Pacific Classic
DEL MAR, Calif. - Becrux's victory in Friday's $90,385 Wickerr Handicap at Del Mar could lead to a start in the richest race of the meeting, the $1 million Pacific Classic on Aug. 19. The Wickerr was run at a mile on turf.
Barry Irwin, the president of Team Valor International, which co-owns Becrux, said the 5-year-old gelding will work on Del Mar's Polytrack synthetic surface in August. An assessment will be made before the Pacific Classic whether to try that 1 1/4-mile race or the $400,000 Del Mar Mile on turf the same day.
"We'll breeze him twice on the Polytrack," Irwin said. "If he likes it, we'll try for the Pacific Classic. If not, we'll go for the mile race."
Trained by Neil Drysdale, Becrux has won 9 of 24 starts and $928,899, but has never run on a synthetic track. He had made four starts on dirt, including a victory in an allowance race in Dubai and a third in the Bien Bien Stakes at Hollywood Park in November 2005.
Co-owner Gary Barber said that Becrux worked well on Polytrack last summer before winning the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile on turf in September. "I think we'll explore some big things" for his next start, Barber said as he left the winner's circle.
Becrux won the restricted Wickerr Handicap for the second consecutive year; the race was his first victory in four 2007 starts. Earlier this year, Becrux was fifth in the Grade 2 San Francisco Mile and fourth in the Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile and the American Handicap.
Becrux was stuck in traffic in the stretch of his two fourth-place finishes. "He's been so unlucky in his last two runs," Barber said.
In the Wickerr, Becrux stalked the pace to the final turn, reached contention in early stretch, and outfinished Zann to win by a neck in 1:33.04. "He showed a lot of courage," Drysdale said.
Lang Field, who set a torrid pace of 22.31 and 45.89 seconds, held third, beaten only three-quarters of a length.
Zann will be considered for the $250,000 Del Mar Handicap at 1 3/8 miles on turf on Aug. 26, trainer Mike Machowsky said.
Team Valor buys half of Tasha's Miracle
Team Valor has bought a 50 percent interest in the 2-year-old filly Tasha's Miracle, according to Irwin and trainer John Sadler. Syd Belzberg's Budget Stable has retained 50 percent, according to Sadler, who will continue to train the filly.
Tasha's Miracle won a maiden race at 5 1/2 furlongs at Hollywood Park on July 1 and is being pointed for the $150,000 Sorrento Stakes at 6 1/2 furlongs on Aug. 8, Sadler said.
The deal with Team Valor was completed last week.
"I like the way she won that maiden race," Irwin said. "She's got a great way of going. She not only showed speed, but did it effortlessly. Hopefully, she'll be a Breeders' Cup type horse."
Class droppers and risers create tough puzzle
Monday's sixth race at Del Mar, a $50,000 claimer at six furlongs, is a challenge for handicappers looking to back a winner, and for owners and trainers searching for a potential claim.
Trying to read which of the 12 entrants will run well is something like an equine poker game. Several horses are taking significant drops in class, while a few are moving up.
Jet West, who finished third in the $2 million Golden Shaheen Sprint in Dubai in March 2006, makes his first start for a claiming price since the fall of 2005. He was claimed at this meeting in 2005 by Bruce Hochman and Ted H. West for $62,500.
Jet West has made one start this year, finishing sixth in the Sam Whiting Stakes at the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton on July 7. The race was his first start since finishing second in the Governor's Cup Stakes at Fairplex Park last September. Last fall, Jet West suffered a severe bout of colic.
"He didn't have anything wrong other than bad colic," West said of the layoff. "It was pretty bad."
Asked if he feared he might lose Jet West via a claim on Monday, West said it could happen - and then he may claim something in turn.
"We might trade him in," West said. "Who knows?
"It's an interesting race," West said. "I've got a lot of guys wanting to claim. There'll probably be five claims in the race."
West said that Del Mar is not an easy place to win a claiming race, even with a horse taking a drop in class.
"If you run a $25,000 claimer, you might lose it, and you still might not win because some guy is dropping a [$40,000 claimer]," West said. "It's so tough to win here."
Trainer Doug O'Neill is starting Yes He's a Pistol, who is winless in 12 starts since the Santana Mile at Santa Anita in March 2006. O'Neill said Yes He's a Pistol has limited confidence. "It's something we've battled with this horse," he said.
Of the horses taking a jump in class, one of the more intriguing is Watch Over Me. The 6-year-old gelding was claimed away from West for $32,000 by Jeff Mullins at Hollywood Park on July 8. Mullins has a sharp record with horses making their first starts for his stable.
If Watch Over Me wins, or is claimed, it would be a profitable day for owner Adam Lewis. "Either way, we make money," Mullins said.

Resident Evil: Degeneration might be plagued with minor annoyances, but the most prominent one is the fact that Capcom has managed to make one of their games into a movie.
Despite the negative reviews, the live-action series of Resident Evil films has become the most successful movie franchise to be based on video games. As a way of extending that success, in 2008 Capcom decided to focus on a new series of CGI movies tied to the original Resident Evil games. The result was Degeneration, Capcom's first full-length feature film which takes place between the events of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 and follows the stories of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield.
Despite being set between some of the newest titles, the film's plot is intrinsically tied to events from some of the classic games, mainly Resident Evil 2. Degeneration takes place a few years after the military dropped a nuclear missile in Raccoon City to stop the spread of the highly contagious T-virus. Thankfully for fans of the series, Degeneration features a new setting.
The introductory scene shows Claire Redfield as she arrives to the local airport in Hardvardville, India. One of the first things she notices is a protest being staged in the area. Apparently, a new pharmaceutical company called WilPharma Corporation (and the award for best originally named evil corporation goes to…) is working on some secret experiments and the protesters believe that these may lead to a disaster similar to the one in Raccoon City. Ten minutes after that, Claire Redfield finds herself in the middle of a zombie outbreak. A passenger aircraft teeming with undead creatures crashes into the airport, spreading the T-virus and wreaking havoc in the terminal. In fact, the infection spreads so quickly that the whole area is put under quarantine, leaving Claire, a little child under her supervision, a young stewardess and a senator, trapped in the terminal.
In order to avoid an even bigger disaster, the authorities summon someone who's a specialist in this sort of situation, a man called Leon Scott Kennedy. Leon and two SRT (Special Response Team) agents make their way into the airport, hoping to find the survivors and exterminate as many zombies as they can.
Soon enough, the story takes a weird course, becoming overly convoluted. Apparently, the zombie outbreak has been part of a planned terrorist attack and its members demand the truth about Raccoon City's incident. Then we realize that Angela Miller's brother (Angela is one of the SRT members and Leon's love interest) is behind the attacks because he has lost his family in Raccoon City. References to the T-virus, G-virus and the potential development of a vaccine are mentioned countless times and all of this leads to the realization that WilPharma megacorporation is in fact evil.
But the fact that the film's plot is excessively complex isn't really surprising. The fact that the film was directed as if it was a video game is. During the movie's first moments, it quickly becomes pretty obvious that the people involved wanted to recreate Resident Evil 2's formula to repeat the success of that game. Of course, this sort of blatant use of fan fiction is nothing new, but its shameless execution is taken to an extreme. The story, pace, character development (or the lack thereof) and the presence of a boss fight almost at the end of the movie are all very reminiscent of the games. The myriad nods and winks to events from previous games are extremely alienating to those unfamiliar with the source material.
Sadly, that isn't the only problem with Degeneration. Most of the characters are extremely annoying and are based on various stereotypes. We have the egotistical senator who only cares about himself, the weak child who's constantly putting the heroine in danger, the dim-witted special agent who's bitten by a zombie for being excessively arrogant and so on and so forth. Additionally, the secondary characters aren't memorable at all, the ridiculously over-the-top action scenes quickly become repetitive, the plot is intensely uninspired and the dialogues are obtuse.
Resident Evil: Degeneration is plagued with minor annoyances. Undoubtedly, the most prominent one is the fact that Capcom has managed to make one of their games into a movie. As a result, this creates an almost unbearably suffocating atmosphere that puts a barrier on your enjoyment. In the end, those looking for a compelling CGI film based on Resident Evil should look elsewhere.

Was that Fuentes out there?
The bullpen comes through (for a change)!!! No bed-shitting by Fuentes this afternoon as the Rox snap their 4-game bullpen induced slide. Perhaps, the biggest story to come out of today's game is my main man Cookie's performance. The dude's looking pretty sharp.
We still left a lot of runners on base, and a Cub error had a lot to do with the vicotry. But nonetheless, happy to come out with a vicotry, and as the great philosopher Jeff Huson said after the game, "a W is a W is a W".
TD/ST any good ballpark stories? Perhaps some that involve some jackass Cub fans?

God, that was necessary!!
I will elaborate on the fat ass dude in a Soriano jersey later....god he was a jackass.
SO happy we won this game. Cubs Nation can taste Fuentes' tea bag.

The fat dude in the Soriano jersey, not so on.

I see the play that Soriano said "that's getting through" under his breath before Tulo and Barmes turn a sweet DP was a Web Gem.
My response to Soriano, "Actually, I think that's a double play...."

Hey ARTfans,
So... no posts for the last 2 days. That's not good.
Well, it seems an ugly little stomach bug decided to pay a visit to our house. My daughter work up Tuesday night not feeling good. My wife was sick Wednesday and Thursday (still not feeling great today). I left work early on Thursday to go home and help with the kids... and wouldn't ya' know... guess who's not feeling good today. Yay me!
I did a couple of loose 'sketches' on Wednesday night, but unfortunately, nothing worth even scanning. And last night I fell asleep on the couch, and staggered to bed around 11. We'll see how tonight goes, but right now, I'm not going to make any promises.
The one thing I will promise though... is that I will finish my 30 Day ART challenge... even if it takes me into February (which it definitely will now).
So... that all being said... and since I really don't have any good ART to post today... I thought I would put up a post about my tools and methods.
I'd like to introduce you all to my pencils...
Starting from the left:
That's "Betty" - a Pentel 5mm (PS535) Mechanical Pencil (As you can see from the label on top, I have this loaded with 6H lead (almost the hardest that they make). This is what I use for sketching. The 6H lead leaves a very light line – Ideal (for me anyway) of 'roughing' out my sketches.
"Veronica" – That's my finishing pencil. Another Pentel 5mm (PS535) Mechanical pencil, this one loaded with 4H lead. A little softer, this produces a darker line, I use this to go in and 'finish up' my drawings…
Next, "Ginger" - a PaperMate Tuff Stuff Eraser Stick. Basically just an eraser, but with a smaller tip than most of the other erasers I've seen around. Ideal for erasing in those tight, hard to reach spaces.
And, "Mary Ann" – Just another Clic Eraser, standard size, good for general erasing.
And finally, "Big Bertha" – When you absolutely, positively need to erase every single line on a page… accept no substitutes.
Once I'm finished with a sketch, I scan it in at 300dpi, and move over to my laptop.
A Lenovo X61 Tablet PC. I upgraded this as soon as I got it to Windows 7. And this has been my go-to machine for digital inking and coloring for about a year now.
As you can probably see from any of my 'inking videos', I just put the scanned pencils into Adobe Illustrator, and create a new layer on top. I created a brush that I use for Inking, nothing fancy, just a basic brush that takes advantage of the pressure sensitivity of my tablet. Once I finish with the inking, I save my file, and export it as a PSD (Photoshop file).
Then… on to coloring…
But more on that next time. (I need to post some coloring videos soon – I think I'll do that next time I color an image.)
Again… Sorry for no ART this time. I'm gonna try and kick this bug as quick as possible, and get back to it.
Hope you all have a good weekend!

History 1950-Present
In the early 1950's the company was involved in the design of a machine to recover surplus chippings following road dressing. The chippings could then be 'recycled' and used elsewhere.This development led to a commitment to produce a sweeper unit which operated on the principle of high velocity air conveyance suction.
At the end of the 1950's Johnston developed a new prototype sweeper design.
By mounting the complete suction sweeping equipment on the back of a lorry (where a tipper body would normally be) the first truck mounted sweeper was created.
The brain child of RFC Gray, rubbish no longer passed through the fan, therefore giving higher suction due to its increased horsepower.
This provided a single mobile unit with all the maneuverability of the then widely used mechanical sweepers.
Only five of these prototypes were built but with the experience gained, a production based machine, the Mk1 was produced.The first commercial Johnston truck mounted sweeper had been created.
The Mk1 was launched at the 1960 Public Works Exhibition in London and proved a success from the start.
This was the first ever suction type lorry mounted road sweeper to be marketed successfully in the U.K. It created enormous interest and was a major milestone in road sweeper development.
The company was soon involved in demonstration programs all over the country and deliveries of completed sweepers began in 1961 from the Vincent Lane factory.
The first Mk1 exported – a dual sweep machine was shipped to Denmark in June 1961 and invoiced at £3950.00.
The expanding Johnston Group became a publicly quoted company in 1964.
Technical development continued at pace and by August 1965 Johnston had delivered its 500th sweeper and supplied 80% of the UK market.
January 1968 saw the introduction of the Johnston 200 Series which represented a major step forward in sweeper design.
Earlier single engine Johnston models required the installation of a purpose designed gearbox. This arrangement split the engine power between road wheels, suction fan and sweeping brushes.
The 200 was the first two engine or 'dual' machine. A separate engine to drive the fans and brushes gave constant suction and brush action.
During its 11 year production run a total of 3,956 machines were built.
By the mid 1970's, production had out grown the Vincent Lane site and main production moved to a larger site in Cutis Road, Dorking.
Sustained export success in1975 resulted in Johnston Engineering achieving the Queens Award for Export.This award coincided with annual production exceeding 500 machines for the first time.
Launched in November 1978, the 400 Series introduced the new concept of 'skid-unit' manufacture.
The skid unit contains all the sweeper components above the vehicle chassis frame.Mounted on its own sub-frame, with lifting points built-in, the unit can be stored ready for mounting on any chassis without dismantling. Skid units can also be shipped overseas for local assembly.
Other improvements on the 400 Series included an in-cab control system of all sweeping operations and a significant reduction in noise levels.
A popular variation of the 400 was the 450 Series Airport Sweeper. Outrigger brushes and broom-assisted nozzles very quickly swept large areas.A large magnet for retrieving ferrous objects, such as nuts and bolts, was also produced as an option.
In 1983 the Spares and Service Department relocated to a new building in Curtis Road opposite the main production site entrance. The building comprised a warehouse for over 10,000 spare parts, together with a training area, trade counter and administration offices. Four additional UK Regional Service Centers were set up at Sudbury, Avonmouth, Warwick and Livingston in Scotland.
1986 saw the company widen its product range into the small compact sweeper range, with the acquisition of Babcock Sweepers Limited at Sheerness in Kent, and production of the 2000 Series Compact sweeper began at the Sheerness plant in 1989.
The company's development of the 600 Series, with its significant product innovations were recognized by achieving a British Design Award in1988. This high capacity machine, with its wide range of options, became the standard Johnston production vehicle.
In 1992 the Vincent Lane site in Dorking finally closed after 60 years of Johnston activity, and all remaining production and staff relocated to Curtis Road.
New offices were built, together with development of the site to include a skid shop and testing facilities.
Another milestone was reached in the summer of 1995, with the production of the 15,000th Johnston sweeper – a 2000 Series Compact.
In 1996 Johnston purchased the Danish company Beam, which produces bespoke specialist runway sweepers and airport stand cleaners.
In 1997 a new office and production facility for the Compact and 5000 Series, was opened at Sittingbourne, replacing the Babcock factory in Sheerness.
Production of the new 5000 Series Compact Sweeper began in 1998.
In 2000 Johnston acquired the Canadian based company MadVac.
Established in 1986 MadVac specializes in the design, construction and distribution of litter collection systems and pedestrian operated sweepers.
In recognition of its core business, in 2003 the company changed its name to Johnston Sweepers Limited. 2003 also saw the introduction of the new brand identity. This included a redesigned logo, Johnston 'swirl' and vehicle liveries.
The new V Range was launched in September 2003 – a replacement for the best selling 600 Series, but with more features and improvements.
In 2005 Johnston Sweepers was sold to the Swiss company – Bucher Industries, along with Johnston's European and Australian engineering interests.
Following on from this change in 2005, Johnston's product range expanded with the addition of the VT550 Truck Mounted Sweeper (7.5t chassis).
The launch soon after followed of the new generation of Compact Sweepers – the fuel efficient C200 replacing the Compact 40 & 50 and the larger C400 which took over from the 5000 Series.
In 2011 Johnston Sweepers opened Johnston North America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnston Sweepers Ltd., as our North American hub based in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Johnston's global reach provides Johnston North America with unique insight, knowledge, and experience gained in a range of international environments that we can use to provide even better sweeping solutions for our customers.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi says he'll talk to Mariano Rivera in the offseason about whether the New York Yankees closer definitely wants to retire.
Girardi told ESPNNewYork.com on Tuesday that he thought Rivera could still be a very effective closer next year. Girardi said he'll advise baseball's career saves leader to take a month or two this winter to make sure he wants to walk away from the game even though he's stayed healthy all year.
The 43-year-old Rivera announced his plans to retire during spring training and has been on something of a farewell tour around the majors all season. He said he's made his decision and isn't sure why everyone is talking about it again.

Exploring New Technologies for LAPD
Posted by Mitchell Englander on July 03, 2015 at 12:00 PM
This week, I submitted a motion requesting the Los Angeles Police Department report on the feasibility of using a mobile app to expedite and automate police reporting, similar to the one being utilized by the Palm Springs Police Department.
When police officers respond to a scene of the crime, they are responsible for completing paper forms that document what occurred at the scene. Police officers may have to complete 50 to 60 forms depending on the type of incident. In addition to being time consuming, paper forms are costly for police departments. However, technology may be able to reduce the need for paper forms, and in turn, create efficiencies in police reporting.
The Palm Springs Police Department recently piloted the use of a new mobile app called SceneDoc. This app securely digitizes paperwork and slashes reporting time for incidents. The mobile app takes the paper forms and populates them into a mobile dashboard. The officers can open the app on their mobile devices and access and complete the necessary forms. Police officers are also able to take pictures and record audio at the scene and add it to the case file. The date/time and GPS location of the photos and videos are automatically placed in the app's photo log.
The mobile app has transformed the Palm Springs Police Department's reporting system from a multi-step system to a single step. The Orange County District Attorney's Office, which also uses the app, stated that the County saved $80,000 in paper costs alone and $800,000 in salary costs.
The use of a mobile app would not only create efficiencies in police reporting, but would also allow police departments to keep more officers out in the field by reducing the time needed to complete the required paper forms. This is crucial for departments who may be facing issues with their staffing and who struggle to maintain a consistent level of deployment coverage.

J.D. Moore wasn't always the linebacker-seeking, muscle-bound junior fullback you see today.
Moved from tight end a couple of years ago, Moore needed seasoning as a fullback before developing into LSU's starter last year. Specifically, he needed to learn how to combat and prevent a defender from shedding his block.
Former LSU linebacker Lamar Louis was there to help.
"He's just a hammer," Moore said of Louis. "He was so big, and I was just learning the position, and I remember numerous times running in there and thinking I was about to lay my best block, and he'd shed."
Moore is now better equipped to handle block-shedding defenders, but LSU's linebackers are still shoving aside offensive players on Saturdays, avoiding would-be blockers to make plays that have Dave Aranda's unit one of the nation's best.
The shedding of a block is an overshadowed art in football, a key component to LSU's success defensively and something on which middle linebacker Kendell Beckwith, at the center of the unit, thrives. Beckwith showed his expertise on the subject during a career-high 15-tackle win against Southern Miss last week, shedding eight blocks in the first half alone.
He's got another shot to flash those skills when No. 25 LSU (4-2, 2-1 Southeastern) hosts Ole Miss (3-3, 1-2) at 8 p.m. Saturday. It's a clash between two teams with opposing strengths. For the Rebels, it's offense. They're 20th in scoring. For the Tigers, it's defense. They're fourth in scoring defense.
One of the reasons: shedding blocks.
How a player goes about shedding a block is different on each level of defense — line, linebackers, secondary — but the goal is the same: avoid the block at all cost. On the defensive line, that's normally done with a "shrug" move, said Greg Gilmore, LSU's starting nose tackle. This involves grabbing or pressing your hand or hands on an offensive player and pushing them aside.
"Two ways to shed blocks: two-handed release and a one-handed release," Gilmore said. "It's all about leverage. They're pushing on you. You create counter-momentum."
It sounds easy, sure, but Gilmore, at 305 pounds, is trying to shed blocks from guys like 330-pound guard Josh Boutte. On the perimeter, a guy like cornerback Donte Jackson, 5-11, 170 pounds, is attempting to shed blocks from receivers who are 5 inches taller and 25 pounds heavier. Linebackers are dodging or shedding blocks from 250-pound fullbacks or 310-pound offensive guards.
Jackson uses a different tactic than Gilmore, just like Beckwith uses a different method than Jackson.
"I'm not a huge guy, so I'm going to be smaller than most guys that block me, but I'm as aggressive as most guys that try to block me," Jackson said. "Most of the time, I use my quickness and aggressiveness. It's never failed me."
Beckwith was not available for interviews this week, but his block-shedding tactics speak for themselves. In fact, he uses a combination of methods depending on the given play.
Against Southern Miss on one play, he used his strength and power, pressing his hands against an offensive lineman's chest and shoving him aside to stuff a running back. On the very next play, Beckwith relied on his quick feet to slide past an offensive lineman, avoiding contact all together to disrupt a screen pass.
Moore calls block shedding a "controlled explosion." It's the ultimate victory in football for a defender, winning a man-vs.-man, one-on-one battle in the open field. The secret to prevent your block from being shed: hand and helmet placement, Moore said.
"It's whoever has better pad level and better hands," he said. "If he's lower with inside hands, he's won. Sometimes, I'll get one hand, he'll get one hand and it's sort of a stalemate. That's the sort of battle with football — hands and hat placement."
Blocking offensively and shedding defensively are aspects players focus on during spring practice and preseason camp, the most grueling and physical practices of the year. They refine them during the season, Moore said.
"In-season, I'll do it some when we go one-on-ones, but I'm not trying to knock out our linebackers," he said.
Moore has made his fair share of touchdown-springing blocks and so has Boutte, the Tigers starting right guard. They've been on the other end, too, with their blocks avoided or shed. Boutte describes that feeling as "horrible," but there's nothing like finishing off a defender.
"You just drive him until he loses his feet and dump him," he said. "That's the best feeling ever."

In Summary
- Only one returning MP, Patrick Mweu Musimba of Kibwezi West, managed to win on an independent ticket.
- Mutava Musyimi, former chairman of Parliament's finance committee was also defeated in Mbeere South by Geoffrey Muturi
- The highest percentages of valid votes cast in an election for County Women rep was 96 per cent, in Nyandarua, Kiambu and Homa Bay Counties.
Only 111 or two in five of the 290 members of the national assembly are likely to secure their re-election, according to provisional data from the independent electoral and boundaries commission.
Of all MPs elected, however 138, or nearly half, will come from the Jubilee Party.
The election result means that 179 MPs will not be returning to the National Assembly, either because they failed to defend their seats or opted to contest another seat.
Only one returning MP, Patrick Mweu Musimba of Kibwezi West, managed to win on an independent ticket.
In addition to the wins by the Jubilee Party, the parties constituting the National Super Alliance (Nasa) won a total of 103 seats. They include ODM (63), seats Wiper (17), Amani National Congress (12) and Ford Kenya (11).
Some MPs were successful in seeking other seats. For example, Kiharu MP, Irungu Kang'ata will not be returning after he won the Murang'a Senate seat over the incumbent, who was also MP for Kiambu, Mr Kembi Gitura.
In Meru County, Igembe East MP, Mithika Linturi will take over from Kiraitu Murungi as Senator after defeating Mugambi Imnyara of PNU by 305,125 votes to 182, 328.
In Kilifi, former MP for Kilifi North, Gideon Mungaro, made an unsuccessful bid for the governors, seat which was successfully defended by Governor Amason Kingi. So the new MP for Kilifi North is projected to be Owen Yaa Baya of ODM who has garnered 27 405, equivalent to 43 per cent of all votes cast.
Former Nyali MP Hezron Awiti opted to contest for the governorship of Mombasa County which is set to be retained by Governor Hassan Ali Joho. The new Nyali MP is projected to be journalist-turned-politician Mohammed Ali, who with all the votes counted received 43 per cent, or 26,798 votes, followed by Said Abdalla Salim, who received 16,473 votes or 27 per cent of the votes cast.
Mutava Musyimi, former chairman of Parliament's finance committee was also defeated in Mbeere South by Geoffrey Muturi, who polled 18,225 or 31 per cent of all votes cast to Rev Musyimi's 16 897 (30 per cent).
Only ten women county representatives, or one in five are likely to make it back in the role after being elected in 2013, provisional statistics from the IEBC show.
That means 79 per cent of county women representatives will not serve another term in that position.

Loving and openhearted people, Good advice for touring the island out of tourist areas. Very nice kitchen and peacefull surroundings – spots with sun and shadow and shelter from the wind. Splendid yoga
Hannah – Booking.com
Peace and tranquility in the small village of Tao in the centre of Lanzarote. A welcome alternative to the other busy, touristy areas on the island. Couldn't have asked for nicer hosts who went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect.
Yoga in the mornings was adapted to the audience which made it very accessible for any beginners. Breakfast was traditional and tasty. Facilities for self catering were great. Beautiful landscaped garden to relax in. Very reasonable price!
Sturgrs – Booking.com
Traditional Canarian guesthouse on the edge of Tao, a stunning rural location in the centre of Lanzarote! My hosts Nohemi & Roy made me feel so very welcome and I really felt as if I was staying with my favourite aunt and uncle.
I felt under no obligation to try any of the activities that are on offer at Kalindi, yet I found myself attending an 8am yoga class (no longer am I a yoga virgin)?! During my 5 night stay I was provided with an insight into the traditional Canarian way of life and returned home feeling a deep connection with the island of Lanzarote. Amazing!!
Lawrence – Booking.com
I spent a week at Kalindi in May 2017. The staff and fellow guests were wonderful. I especially loved the morning yoga class that was available. This place is beautiful with a unique atmosphere, and away from the touristy areas (though not far to drive, for those interested in spending time at these areas).
The location is central on the Island, so quite convenient for those who want to explore the Island, but a rental car is definitely recommended.
Reve – Booking.com
It was awesome! Nice and quiet place to stay, with lovely hosts. Very clean and comfortable rooms. I will come back! Thanks to Roy and Nohemi, and of course Kali the Cat . 😉
Natalie – AIRBNB
Very beautiful and peaceful Guesthouse in the middle of Lanzarote. Good to relax. Distances to all the nice Locations of Lanzarote within 15-20 minutes. Very nice hosts, we would visit again =)
Marvin – AIRBNB
We enjoyed our stay at Kalindi. The house, the village and the surrounding were picturesque. The hosts were great and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The location of the village is very central in Lanzarote and all touristic hotspots can be be reached within 20-45 minutes by car.
I would highly recommand to rent a car or electrobike as the village is situated in the middle of nowhere, far away from mass tourism which makes it super relaxing and authentic.
We enjoyed the delicious breakfast after Yoga and the silence and peace at Kalindi. For those who are looking for a time off from daily stress this place is highly recommanded to come down. Thanks to the hosts Roy and Nohemi for this great vacation.
Just – AIRBNB
I would highly recommend Kalindi to anyone visiting Lanzarote who wants to stay "off the beaten track" and away from the touristic areas – you will be made to feel extremely welcome, be given any information you require and then some, be able to enjoy free yoga every day if you fancy it and enjoy a relaxed ambience in the communal area. The rooms are basic, clean and absolutely beautiful. Try the breakfast at least once!!
Nina – Facebook
Magical place full of positive energy and fantastic people !!
Ad – Facebook
We had a lovely relaxing and exciting time in Kalindi. It's great to be able to share with other guests memories and laughters. The atmosphere in Kalindi is friendly and relax and very welcoming.
The yoga sessions are a plus to the start of an energetic and exciting day in this magic island. Nohemi and Roger are very helpful with all the information they provide for visiting Lanzarote.
All in all a great holiday for me and my teenage daughter.
Mireia Pacheco – Tripadvisor
Kalindi is the perfect place to chill out, connect with nature, and your body. Roy and Noemi are great hosts. The yoga session on a morning is a perfect way to start the day, followed by a tasty breakfast served outside with great views.
The outside space and seating is comfortable. You might find yourself stargazing on a night or chatting to other guests. A perfect stay in a lovely place. Thanks Roy and Noemi.
Peter – Tripadvisor
A quiet and relaxing place that gives you the possibility to calm down and recharge your batteries. I spent a week at Kalindi and it was exactly what I had expected. A rented car to get there is recommended although if you don't plan to move around the island a lot, it is reachable by bus and then it's about 20 mins walk.
It suited me fine as I travelled alone and had been around the island before. The location is great – very central but away from everything at the same time. I loved just walking around the trails across the main road and two days I also caught a bus to Famara beach (1,40 eur one way). I think everybody loves the morning yoga there with Roy – a nice way to start your day.
Kalindi will be the right place for you if you understand its concept and don't expect a typical hotel or resort deal. Kalindi is a lovely and private spot where you can feel the beauty and power of nature all around.
Amber – Tripadvisor
I'm really looking back at a couple of nice days at Kalindi Yoga, situated in the middle of Lanzarote. The house is a beauty, lovely to sit in the garden and look at the hill at the horizon, doing nothing accept having a cup of tea.
You feel immediate at home, thanks to the very friendly and helpfull Francesca and her husband Christian. My room with separate bathroom was good. Kitchen and living room are shared, both very nice places to be.
The kitchen has everything you need, and a beautifull indoor garden in the middle. Lovely! I would really recommend going there, if you're travelling on your own or with other people.
Gees – Tripadvisor
I spent 10 days at Kalindi and I found it to be one of the top places I've been to in Spain. Roy and Nohemi(the owners) are really cool and wonderful people and they have created a beautiful place with a very relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
It's for everyone, people who would like to see a small rural village, go to beaches, surf, practice/learn yoga/meditation, bicycle, hike, The place is situated in a small very cosy town with two restaurants and a supermarket and not to forget next to the a volcano(not alive) with according to me the best view on the island.
The town might be small but so is the island so everything is close if you have a bike, take the buss or have a car.
Overall I loved it and I'm sure you will aswell!
Great place to relax, restore energy, see the island and meet nice people(if you feel like it).
I spent an amazing time at Kalindi, and we became friends with the owners, Nohemi & Roy. The place is ideal to relax and enjoy life. The island, Lanzarote on the other hand is full of interesting things, and it is very easy to fall in love with her.
Time is the only concern, which flies extremely fast there. Need to go back and discover what is left, which is still a lot… Thank you guys for everything! 😉
Kalindi is located right in the heart of Lanzarote, so its location is ideal to discover the rest of the island.
The location is amazing, immersed in a mix of volcanic terrain and white sand dunes (el Jable), where your sight and senses will flow with the wind until the beautiful beach of Famara and its cliffs (El Risco).
Kalindi is not just an accomodation, is a family where you'll get time, space and peace for yourself and the right atmosphere to share experiences with the amazing hosts Roy and Nohemi and the other interesting guests, practice yoga and meditation.
Roy is also an amazing tour guide, he dedicates plenty of time explaining the island, recommending the best excursions or guiding you on volcanic peaks and surreal landscapes.
Enjoy the silence and the infinite skies at night (the location has no light pollution), and you'll get the perfect holiday or chance to disconnect from the routine and dedicate time to yourself.
A very special place where you can meet people from different backgrounds. The owners help you with everything you might need and we even went to have dinner with them along with other people staying at Kalindi.
It is a great location to visit the island as well.
Stayed with friends
An oasis in the middle of Lanzarote, in the wind carried countryside with very welcoming hosts and beautiful, relaxing surroundings. I enjoyed my stay a lot. The food, accomodation, siestas in the hammock, waking up with yoga, surfing and local culture – a great experience.

The Doctor once owned a signet ring in which was mounted a large blue crystal. It had originally belonged to Patience's husband. (PROSE: Cold Fusion)
The Doctor wore the ring on the middle finger of his right hand in his his first incarnation, (TV: An Unearthly Child) but soon discarded it after his regeneration into his second incarnation, as it did not fit him any longer. (TV: The Power of the Daleks)
The ring had several special abilities. It could supply power to the TARDIS's main doors and control a Zarbi. (TV: The Web Planet) If given the correct spectrum of light, it could unjam a TARDIS's locking mechanism. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) The ring seemed to be able to facilitate hypnotism and protect the Doctor from electrical shocks. (TV: The War Machines) On the Ethereal homeworld, the Doctor used the ring to open an electronic lock. (PROSE: The Cloud Exiles) When the Doctor received lessons in the "magic" of Avalon from Kilvenny Odoyle, the ring served as his "wand" through which he focused his spells. (PROSE: The Sorcerer's Apprentice)
The First Doctor was forced to sell his ring in exchange for French Revolution-style clothes when he arrived in Paris on 25 July, but had it returned to him the next day. (TV: The Reign of Terror)
After the Doctor's first regeneration, the ring no longer seemed to have any use because it no longer fit his hand. (TV: The Power of the Daleks) Eventually, the Doctor became more reliant on his sonic screwdriver. (TV: Fury from the Deep)
It was discovered to have fallen into the TARDIS console following the Doctor's first regeneration, where it remained until it was recovered by his seventh incarnation, who decided to start wearing it again. (COMIC: The Chameleon Factor)
After wearing it through numerous adventures, (COMIC: The Good Soldier, Metamorphosis, PROSE: Tragedy Day) the Doctor gave the ring to Joan Redfern after he turned back from being John Smith. (PROSE: Human Nature)
Despite this, the Doctor wore the ring in his Muldwych incarnation. (PROSE: Birthright)
Behind the scenes Edit
The ring plays an important part in Doctor Who: Legacy's Sonic Adventure storyline. In it, the Master steals all of the sonic devices onboard the TARDIS and scatters them through time. The ring was not stolen because it contained no sonic technology, but the First Doctor could still use it like the other Doctors used their screwdrivers and used it to get back all the sonic devices.

Interesting place with statue's. Nice place to stretch your legs
Visiting here my whole life..! Will always be one of our Family faves...
really more like 7 miles if you do the whole thing. Pretty much the same thing for the whole trail
Stunning place!!!
Sculptures along the trail are cool. Trail is flat and not strenuous.
Not much of a hike, pretty flat. You can see dear here and there's a river that's sometimes empty or sometimes full. It's clean out there but to be honest there's not much of a view ever. Considering the location it's one of the better ones but overall on all the trails I've hiked its boring and uneventful.
Definitely the best hiking trail around Champaign-Urbana. It's tucked away from the interstate and is very quiet.
Georgia R.
Fantastic !
Great place to visit. We brought a sack picnic with a nice merlot
very peaceful and easy hiking
Beautiful fall day. Trails were dry and easy to hike.
Pam N.
Beautiful trails. I recommend parking on the South side of the park if you are going specifically for the hiking. There are a total of6 walking trails but you cannot access all from one side. You can access 3 on the south side and 3 on the north side. We chose to do the south side. It was absolutely beautiful. It was a nice change of scenery (tall trees and thick landscape rather than dry, flat, corn fields). Not a difficult walk by any means but it's a nice morning activity. We completed all 3 trails on the south side within 2 1/2 hours (with stopping for lunch and to take pictures). Nice easy getaway from the mundane :)
Trail starts near Allerton Mansion and goes through impressive gardens. Then through thick forest and by river. Lots of deer and Red Headed Woodpeckers.

1. The first line of a call number may begin with one, two, or three letters. These letters should be read alphabetically. A call number that begins with A is shelved before one that begins with B, C, etc.; and a call number that begins with QE is located somewhere before the one that starts with QL.
2. The second lineof a call number is made of a number that may have one or more digits.
This line is read numerically. A call number with a smaller number in its second line is
placed before one that has a larger number for its second line:
3. The third line
3. The third lineis the trickiest part of the call number: The letter is shelved alphabetically, and the number following the letter is treated as if it were preceded by a decimal. Thus:
But, the tricky part of the 3rd line of the call number is that its numerical component is
This makes sense if you read the numbers as decimals!
4. The final lines of the call numbers may include dates, volume indicators, issue numbers,
copy numbers, and other annotations such as supplement or index specifiers. These
annotations are read after the call number.

Nastasja is certified reader of the Akashic Records and also a Health Intuitive using the ablitly in compliment with Reiki.
On Reiki
Nastasja's first physical introduction to Reiki was at a healer's "store" where the healer said one of her chakra's was blocked and proceeded to move her hand over the mid-section of her back (while seated). She felt the circular motion of her hand, yet the healer's hand did not touch her. Years later, a persistent urge to find a Reiki instructor, where she and Nadine then received their level 1 & 2, Master and Teacher certification through 3 Reiki Master Trainers. Nastasja is currently offering Reiki as a Master Teacher practitioner. She is also registered with the Canadian Reiki Association (CRA #16-168), fully supporting Reiki healing to "helping those to heal themselves".

Annual Survey of Faculty Salaries 1979-1980.
American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, Bethesda, MD.
Salary information for faculty and deans of accredited colleges of pharmacy is presented in this annual survey prepared by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. Data are based on responses collected for the academic year 1979-1980. Salary data for faculty remunerated on calendar (11- or 12-month appointments) and academic (9- or 10-month appointments) year basis are presented separately. Summary tables for the ranks of professor; associate professor; assistant professor; deans; assistant/associate deans; and for faculty by teaching discipline, by rank, and by appointment basis are included. Mean salaries, percentiles, and range of salaries are graphed as well as average salaries by years-in-rank. The results indicate that faculty remunerated on calendar year appointments received greater average increases than those on an academic year basis. No faculty rank showed increases that matched the corresponding rate of inflation. Professors' salaries averaged increases between 6.5 and 7.3 percent, associate professors' .9 to 6.9 percent, assistant professors' between 1.1 and 5.1 percent, and deans' an average of 7.5 percent. Salary increases for assistant/associate deans ranged between 4.6 and 7.9 percent. (SF)

The eighties had its good fashion points, but also its bad. Lots and lots of bad. And this is true not only for hair (mullets!) and clothes (stirrup pants!), but also home decor. For a jog down memory lane -- or, possibly, a primer on what decor elements of your home are seriously in need of an overhaul -- pop a cassette of Duran Duran into your boombox, snuggle up with a Cabbage Patch doll, and check out the latest installment of our Worst Home Decor by the Decades series. Below we take a deep dive into everything that was grody to the max about '80s home decor.
Sad clowns
Pierrot, a French clown with a lone teardrop in the corner of one eye, was the '80s version of today's "Walking Dead"-type zombie: seemingly everywhere and unstoppable. And strangely terrifying! The pantomime character, dressed in stark black and white, appeared on plates, framed art, figurines, fabric, and several thousand very sad wall masks.
-- -- --
Black and gold accents
Black and gold were two colors that went seriously steady in the '80s, maybe inspired by the black gold that drove '80s smash TV show "Dallas." Black is perfect for telegraphing omnipotent power, while gold screams, "I'm also rich!" Need proof? New York City's black and gold (cough) Fifth Avenue landmark, Trump Tower, which opened in 1983.
-- -- --
Mirrors, mirrors on every wall
Why paint a wall (or ceiling) when you can cover it with enough mirrors to put a nightclub to shame? Bonus: Make sure said mirrors are a kooky shape, add a pattern, and make them smoky. In retrospect, maybe there were so many mirrors because the '80s were the "me" generation. And since the only way to take a selfie back then meant a trip to the Fotomat, the only option was to strike a pose in the nearest reflective surface.
-- -- --
Glass blocks
Blame "Miami Vice" -- which obsessively shot scenes inside sleek, modern homes -- for glass blocks becoming a white-hot '80s building material. Because if you're a cop wearing a teal or pink linen suit -- with the sleeves pushed up to the biceps -- you desperately need to stand in front of a neutral background like big chunks of glass.
-- -- --
According to Pantone, the colors of the 1980s were "saturated, reflecting prosperous times and an upbeat mood." Colors like Mauve Orchid. Not quite purple and not quite pink, the pastel was seemingly invented for the condo walls and mica coffee table of a successful career woman.
-- -- --
Neon accents
Neon leapt off marquees and liquor store signs in the 1980s and went inside. Dashes of painfully vibrant neon appeared on floor lamps, "wall art," and even throw pillows.
-- -- --
Memphis design
The lovely city of Memphis had nothing to do with a style that's been called a " shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price." Signature Memphis looks -- which actually began in Italy -- included uncomfortable, asymmetrical furniture and vivid, bold patterns that afflicted nearly every teapot in the Reagan years.
-- -- --
Bright, geometric 'art'
Nothing was allowed to be boring in the '80s, when "eclectic" was the buzzword. Not hair (see side ponytails, mullets, and Flock of Seagulls hairdos), not eyeliner (worn by men and women, often on the side of the face instead of the eye). And art certainly couldn't be dull, so it became comically edgy and avant-garde, featuring random geometric shapes in loud, clashing colors. Today it might make you reach for the Advil.
-- -- --
Hollywood vanity lighting
Bathrooms saw an explosion of mirrors framed by rows of bubble lights usually found in an actor's dressing room. Perhaps all that flattering light was necessary to adjust the decade's stonewashed jeans and fingerless lace gloves just so.
-- -- --
Random squiggles
Artist Keith Haring used abstract lines as a visual language in his political pop street graffiti in the 1980s. Why designers added random lines, swirls, and doodles to decorative objects and prints, however, remains a mystery.
-- -- --
Floral glut
On the softer edge of the eighties were florals -- so, so many florals. There were pink-rose curtains with a red-rose-patterned couch accented with cabbage-rose pillows next to a flowered lampshade. And to finish it all off, dried flowers in the ubiquitous "deco" vases.
-- -- --
Excessive excess
Everything was big in the '80s: from back-combed, huge hair to football-worthy shoulder pads to decadent decor. Because why have one Lucite accent piece when you can do an entire room in the extravagant stuff? Ditto for buying a single tasteful couch when a massive, poofy sectional was an option. And windows got the full treatment with swags, sheers, and a frilly add-on called a jabot.
-- -- --
Zen overload
Maybe this was supposed to be the antidote to the gaudy excess of '80s decor. But in the decade's typical fashion, some people went overboard with entire rooms done up in stacked rocks and swirls of sand.
