Selling the Malibu
Despite the smiles, Ned was a little sad to sell his car. Hope the new owner gets as much use out of it as Ned did. The fancy four door sedan was one of the things I found most attractive about him, we always joked.

When people ask me about my time at the Brigham Young University, my first inclination is to quote Charles Dickens in the tritest of ways, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." It was the place where, in seven years, I learned to be comfortable being myself by being alone quite a lot because I was okay not fitting in with the vast majority of students. It was also the place where I met people who changed my life in profound ways and who made me want to be the best version of myself. These are people that I still call my friends and I am grateful every day that I met them and that they were part of my BYU experience.
When we flew to Arizona, we had a layover in Salt Lake City. Even though it has been over ten years since my last flight to Utah as a BYU student, every time I get on a plane destined for Salt Lake City, I can't help but feel like I am just flying back to school again. Since David's family lives in Utah, it still is a bizarre experience for me to fly to Utah and when leaving the airport, not head south on I-215, but rather head north. I haven't been to Utah for quite some time, over two years, in fact. I had almost forgotten what it feels like. This trip, it was just an hour layover spent consuming Café Rio in the airport, so it wasn't particularly deep or meaningful, but it did bring back some things that I thought I had long since gotten over.
On the four hour plane ride from RDU to SLC, I listened to my "BYU Forever" mix. In the two weeks since that time, I have been having a few thoughts, though, that lingering from my time at BYU, I still have some unresolved issues that pop up every now and then. Based on a specific recent experience that I won't go into details about, I thought back to the times at BYU when I felt incredibly marginalized or like I was treated poorly on account of my sex. It is true that I did not really fit BYU Mormon norms of womanhood. I was incredibly opinionated, outspoken, singularly obsessed with justice and fairness, while at times could overstep into being incredibly judgmental, manipulative, and shamefully cruel. When I saw wrongs perpetuated, particularly against those I cared about, I didn't have much self-control in speaking out and not caring about other people's feelings in the process. I think because I didn't have a "gentle" "soft" way of doing things (which absolutely was expected of even the smart girls at BYU), I probably faced more backlash than others when it came to my own brand of activism. I just didn't know how to be something else, though. I didn't know how to tone it down when so many things made me so angry.
BYU was also the place that I came to terms with feeling like that it was okay that I was never going to live up to the ideal Mormon woman that I heard lauded from the pulpit. I was very dogmatic in my views about pretty much everything. I cannot think of a single thing that I didn't have a strong opinion about, and probably in retrospect, a lot of that was self-preservational on my part. I felt like I had to have incredibly well-thought out and thorough justifications for who I was, because I did feel a sense of rejection from most others.
In the time since I left BYU, I have mellowed tremendously. I like to think that I completely have shaken off the vestiges of caring about what other people would think about me. I think that even the BYU version of myself might have some judgmental comments to say about me in that regard. I am far more pragmatic, and somewhat less concerned about principle. Part of that is just growing up and realizing that the world is never going to present itself as the optimal set of circumstances that I would hope for. For example, ask me how I would have felt about breastfeeding after my International Political Economy of Women class versus ask me about how I feel about breastfeeding today. Gone are the principles, instead you would find pragmatism, because my attitude basically is like, if it works great, but I am not going to beat myself up over it if I have to give my kids some formula instead. My feeling about having a C-section are pretty much the same in being governed by what works the easiest and is the best (I would have been one of those crazy, intense natural birthers in my younger days).
It is unsettling though, how I start to let the opinions of others creep back in and somewhat affect me when it comes to my impending motherhood. For someone who doesn't really care about what others who think of me in terms of my own life, I don't know why I suddenly become more affected than I otherwise should be by the opinions of others when it comes to my babies. I realize, I am always going to be doing the wrong thing to some of the conservative types in the LDS church because I plan to keep working full time and cannot conceive of my life without having a career, even if technically David and I could get by on just his income. I also realize to others in the working world, I may seem not as committed to my job now that I am choosing to have kids at the age of 36. I have to just get over this and not worry about it, the same way I have to just let the uninvited opinions and advice of others just roll off my back without getting riled up about things. There are people whose advice and opinions matter to me, but for the mass of humanity, I have to come to the same conclusions that I did with the masses of BYU students who disagreed with me in regard to pretty much everything – that it really doesn't have anything to do with me.
I leave you with a few selections from my BYU Forever Mix:
Forever Young – Alphaville (If you ever stumbled into a dance/party in the late 1990s at BYU, you better believe you would have heard this song; I have a feeling in the Post-Napoleon Dynamite era, you probably still would hear this song)
In Your Room – Depeche Mode (My senior year, I spent a lot of time between the hours of 1am-3am hanging out with a group of guys that inevitably would pop in their Depeche Mode videos DVD sometime in those early morning hours so they could complain about all the ways that girls were screwing them over.)
Sour Times – Portishead (Sunday afternoon drives in canyons with my most morose of friends)
Summertime – The Sundays (a rare, happy song that still made its' way into my regular rotation)
In Between Days – The Cure (how many concerts of The Cure did you attend during your university years? I actually don't think I can count them up).
They Can't Take that Away from Me – The Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong version specifically.
Seeing other People – Belle and Sebastian
Tommy the Cat – Primus (One of my close friends was a bass player, and I would get so excited whenever his band would cover this song. We once traveled to Denver so we could stand in the front row to watch Les Claypool play his bass up close).
Bolero – Ravel (I know, its Bolero, but I had a moment of self-actualization hearing the Utah Symphony play this one night at Abravanel Hall).
With or Without You – U2 (One common feature of BYU students who attended BYU at some point in the 90s is that nearly everyone had a significant relationship story that involved this song in some way. It defined a generation of BYU students, most of whom only had CDs in their collection that included U2 or Sting).
No Surprises – Radiohead (Easily the band I listened to the most at college and in law school; There wasn't an occasion where Radiohead was not an appropriate soundtrack.)
Animations – Le General Defao et Les Big Stars (If only every 15 hour bus ride in East Africa is as happy and upbeat as this song would have you believe, as it is played on repeat over and over again).

The name of this ceiling lamp by Stefan Krivokapic is inspired by a stage of the process whereby metal is forged. In the Medieval days, the Tuscan blacksmiths used full iron rods that were first heated and then beaten (in Italian battuto) to achieve the required three-dimensional shape. The same technique is used today to make unique pieces characterised by minimal shapes and fine finishes, a perfect "fusion" between past and future.

European Travel Commission Report Bolsters Italy Vacation Rental Market: Americans Traveling to Europe in 2012 Looking For Value
European Trade Commission report on European Travel Trends for 2012. Changes in American travel patterns and spending for Europe-bound travelers as well as a pent-up demand for travel to Europe is good news for vacation rentals in Italy.
European Travel Commission Report Bolsters Italy Vacation Rental Market - American Travelers to Europe Looking For Value in 2012
The European Travel Commission (ETC) disclosed important US travel trends anticipated for 2012 during the November 2011 World Travel Market conference held in London. The World Travel Market is the leading global event for the travel industry. A preview presented at the conference of the ETCs report on European Travel Trends highlights two key trends for 2012: changes in American travel patterns and spending for Europe-bound travelers as well as a pent-up demand for travel to Europe. The study indicates that, despite economic trends, the European tourism market will see a recovery in 2012, largely fueled by the U.S. traveler. Important in the findings is the quest for value by the American traveler both in terms of accommodations and profiting from the US dollar strengthening versus the volatile Euro. According to Petra Hedorfer, President of the European Travel Commission (ETC). "although US travelers to Europe tend to be more financially resilient than many, they are still keen on finding value for money at every turn.With Italy being one of the most sought-after tourism destinations in Europe, these trends bolster the importance of the growing vacation rental market for savvy travelers seeking the best value possible for their vacation budget. Italys National Agency for Tourism, ENIT reports that Italy ranked 3rd in the top European tourism destinations in 2010, behind France and Spain. Visits to the major historic cities to experience Italian art and culture is the number one priority for visitors to Italy, according to the ENIT site. The data supports the strengthening demand for and availability of vacation rental properties in the major cultural urban hubs of Italy where an entire furnished apartment in an excellent location can cost less than a cramped hotel room in the very same neighborhood.
Apartments Offer Best Value Accommodations in Rome, Florence, Venice
What better way to experience the major Italian cities of culture and art than from your very own home-away-from-home, states Lisa Byrne, founder of Italy Perfect, a leading vacation rental agency that specializes in apartments in Rome, Florence and Venice. Youll benefit from the unique perspective of living like a local, even if only for a few days, while enjoying more spacious accommodations than a hotel. Plus the added benefits of a kitchen and usually a washing machine, too. It is certainly a better value, and a more authentic experience, than a hotel can offer.While budget apartment accommodations abound in each of these Italian cities, Byrne warns to be wary of deals that seem too good to be true. Vacationers will save themselves time, money and stress by booking with a trusted agency to ensure that the accommodations are as-promised and to avoid bait-and-switch or internet scam tactics.
When to Book?
Italy Perfect recommends booking early for the prime vacation season which spans April through October. Based on Italy Perfects expertise, the nicest apartments in the best historic locations in Rome, Florence and Venice tend to book up well in advance, with January being the busiest time for advance booking for the peak season.

The state of California has always been different from the rest of the United States. In 2016, unlike most states, voters in California tightened the gun control laws and increased taxes on rich individuals. Cigarette taxes were hiked, and marijuana legalized. Multilingual education was promoted. The Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton, although she lost, was provided a winning margin of approximately two million popular votes. All these have inspired discussions about the secession of California from United States.
California vs rest of US
According to Tom Steyer of NextGen Climate, an organization combating climate change, it is not possible to view the Donald Trump campaign and then not see a threat to dignity and civil liberties of the California citizens. Steyer is himself a billionaire with a marked progressive outlook.
The nascent campaign of Californian independence was organized under 'Yes California Independence Campaign'. In Twitter, the tweet was #Calexit. There has been talks about constructing a wall around California so that forward thinking policies can be preserved from the reactionary onslaught of Washington. If the state actually secedes, it will be in an excellent position in economic terms, with the Californian economy taking the sixth rank around the globe, between France and Britain. It is to be kept in mind that talks about secession is not practical politics. It is simply the manner through which California may clash with Washington over a number of issues.
Practical issues
In practical terms, however, it will be a remote possibility for California to secede from the United States. This going away can be done in two ways: either engage in an all-out civil war or the Congress throwing California out. The US constitution does not allow secession. There can of course be a constitutional amendment- but it needs the approval of two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress. It also must be ratified by 38 of the 50 states. There is, however, a big chance of conflicts of policy between federal and state.
Climate change could be one wedge of contention between California and Washington. The state has secured top position in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Even in September 2016, the state has made its policies much more secure by instituting a law which mandates reduction of harmful levels below to that of 40 percent level of the 1990s. These should be done within 2030.

Cities in France, U.K. Show Divergent Economic Evolution
Olivier Cadic is a modern-day Charles Evremonde, the French aristocrat in Charles Dickens's "A Tale of Two Cities" who fled France for the more welcoming shores of England.
Two months ago, Mr. Cadic packed up his computer company, with its 25 employees, and relocated in Ashford, England. Mr. Cadic urged French industrialists to rise against the social costs and job taxes that, he claimed, are killing business.

In 1946, stamps were $0.03 and my late Grandma Libby was being "courted" by my late Papa Bill.
Fast forward to June 9, 2009 – Grandma Libby passed away after suffering a massive stroke days before.
Around this time of year I always get a little nostalgic and start going through old photos or letters from her house.
Recently, I found some letters inside her late husband's leather aviator case. Papa Bill was a lieutenant in the Army.
I found a few things interesting while going through these letters:
- He was a pack rat and kept everything (thank goodness for that, because I saw a whole side of Grandma I have never seen before), and
- Most of the letters have no address on them, simply a name, city and state.
Since today is June 13 and I found a letter from June 13, 1946, I thought it would be fun to share a letter from more than 70 years ago. Some of the phrases are a little confusing, but enjoy!
Hi honey bun:
So good to hear from you – what day do you start back, or do you know yet?
Over at Harris's last nite – all sat out on the deck – another wonderful moon – thought "full moon and empty arms" (know that song, don't cha) – got to thinkin', gosh – only a few nites ago and William was here – seems so long.
Mother went over to Harris the morning after you were here, bright 'n early – wanted to know what time I left over there – etc. – she's never mentioned it to me tho and better not for I'm just at the point to tell all my relatives to lay off – fed up – living here has brought out the worst in me, made me so irritable. People can ask me to do anything but they can't DEMAND or force me or my Missouri Mule crops out in me!!
With my sister and her husband here I don't know how successful we'll be doing anything – it'll be too obvious – they just don't enjoy doing the same things we do – they don't smoke OR drink which is their business, yes, but they kinda cramp others style. They're lots of fun – I know they won't want to leave for an evening for their time is so short here.
May sound silly but up till "Monday nite" week ago, I thot if I didn't get outta here I'd be bazurk – but since I've met you I'm perfectly contented to stay – be fun to go east for a while but I don't care particularly now. Think you can do an awful lot for me – my brother has such a screwball attitude toward woman that he's given me a terrific complex about "divorcees" – I've actually suffered with it.
Sorry I did seem no "fun" the other nite – had a long talk with myself beforehand + promised I wouldn't lose my head, but I did – everything about you was perfect – you're so darned tender, gentle, sweet and loveable, my kind of sweetie heart – and after so – long time (since Xmas) I couldn't resist you – told you I was weak willed when it comes to being loved – can't get enuf – just love it.
Mob coming for dinner today and boy is it hot – gonna put on shorts + halter this aft and get out in the sun – don't mind it when I'm out in it and dressed accordingly but hate to have on layers of clothes + my "ladies aid smile" on a hot afternoon.
See you soon hon' – I hope!
Best – "The gay widow"
Sure thing I'm nuts – can't I have fun being that way!
Grandma wasn't a widow until much later in life, so I'm not sure what her signature meant, but she was usually a very gay/happy lady! Miss her lots.
Do you have any old letters passed down from your relatives?

Mental well being is a state of mind which can provide a comprehensive positive support to be happy in life. Being happy in life is really crucial as we cannot measure, find or estimate when sad feeling will come. However, we can make out a solution to be happy in life. Yes, the fact is to understand a critical philosophical idea and the idea is to find happiness in the midst of sad or suffering. People directly deny that it is very impossible to be happy at the time of sad feelings or some ill happenings. But this is wrong because you have to justify the fact properly and find out the reason for feeling sad. Why should you feel sad? If something ill happens to your life so that you have to feel sad! Is it the way of living? Is it the meaning for which you are living?
Mental well being works a lot for anyone's life to give an appropriate solution for his/her life. Often people commit suicide because of losing heart, disappointment, lost, failure, defeat or many other ill reasons. The fact of committing suicide is the particular person does not have mental well being awareness. He/she is unable to justify their life and turns off. This is why all evil things happen in the life.
The simple way of getting the answer is to stay happy in every moment, irrespective of any circumstance you feel and believe yourself to be happy and cool.
Mental well being is a state of mind to be well being anytime. It is a state of positive feeling. To have this positive attitude, you need to believe yourself. You have to develop the idea of believing you. Once you lose faith on you the whole world will disbelieve you. Hence, you need to respect yourself. As the great man of the World Mahatma Gandhi said, "Develop self respect and honor you before you do action."
Human beings are alienated into two most important areas - mental and physical. Mind is related to all physical activities. If you are mentally suppressed, you cannot work comfortably. When you feel upset and anxious, that will impact in your physical activities. At the same time, if you get injury or accident, you cannot feel comfortable because of physical pain. So, both will react each other alternately. Hence, mental well being is such a state of mind which can heal your physical problems as well as it can give you full support to be positive in each and every aspect of your life.
There are some practical facts to have will power from the state of mental well being -
You can recover from fatal disease if you strongly believe in mental well being state
You can reach the certain success only because of your mental well being condition. There are many famous people who reached the success only because of their mental well being nature for example - Napoleon, Stephen Hawking, Galileo and many other famous people.
Mental well being is your inner power, which will develop for you, to work properly for you. If you are able to utilize your mental well being, you can achieve success whatever you wish.

The Versailles Home of a Parisian Collector
Once an entertaining space for royalty, a townhouse now houses a gallerist and his collection of art, furniture and comic book-inspired artifacts
The same family has run the Paris ceramics gallery Lefebvre & Fils since 1880, selling antique and modern sculptures, and decorative objects. But when Louis Lefebvre took over the family business in 2010, he made a change, shifting the gallery's focus away from historic pieces and instead showcasing edgy, contemporary work.
The same dichotomy of old and new is evident at Mr. Lefebvre's townhouse in Versailles, the historic town just outside Paris. With an off-white stone exterior and tall windows, Mr. Lefebvre's dwelling is representative of classical residential architecture in Versailles. It also has a long history: In the late 18th century King Louis XVI, living at the Palace of Versailles down the street, gave it to his younger sister Élisabeth, who used it and an adjacent building (once another wing) as a salon. In 1946, when the home was functioning as an orphanage, its residents included a young Elie Wiesel, according to "Chroniques de Versailles," a book by architectural author Denis Lemarié.
None of that history weighs down the 4,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom home's beige-and-white interior. It houses Mr. Lefebvre's vast collection of modern art, furniture and comic-book-inspired artifacts, resulting in slightly cluttered, country-living-meets-bachelor-pad vibe. "There's a lot [more objects] in warehouses, but I like to move things around," said Mr. Lefebvre, 49, who sports an aging rock star's grayish mane and whose gallery recently hosted shows by New York-based artists Jennie Jieun Lee and Robin Cameron.
The interiors of the home are plain, with white walls and light-brown flooring serving as a canvas. In a small waiting room just off the second-floor living room, framed original American comics that Mr. Lefebvre began collecting as a teenager surround a sculpture of a human figure slumped over a table.
Littered, almost haphazardly, in the adjacent living space are pieces like a horseshoe-shaped chair made of crochet material by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders ; a neon light-emitting table that once sat in Le Régine's, a Parisian nightclub; and a steel armchair created by Ron Arad, the sculptor-designer. "Just don't expect to be comfortable," Mr. Lefebvre quipped as a guest settled into Mr. Arad's piece, which was akin to settling into a rocky rowboat.
Inside an unused fireplace in the dining area, which comes with parquet wooden flooring similar to that in Versailles Palace, sits a bust of the Incredible Hulk that was issued by Marvel Studios. The nearby kitchen, which overlooks the garden, is equipped with a 19th-century butcher's table and Sesame Street-themed cookie jars, which Mr. Lefebvre says were auctioned from the estate of Andy Warhol. "Some of it is of high value, while some of it is of no value," he says. "I've always liked to collect and my passion met my work."
The heart of Mr. Lefebvre's property is the approximately 0.18-acre garden, a slightly unkempt space with everything from hyacinths to cypress trees sheltering the home from outside view. The plot is overlooked by the three-story main building and two slate cottages—one of which Mr. Lefebvre uses for storage and the other that is in ruins.
When Mr. Lefebvre bought the townhouse for about $2.2 million in 2006, he says that he was oblivious to much of the home's history. He had merely been looking for a larger home in Paris but couldn't find anything suitable within his budget. Personal history, however, played a role. The previous owner was a longtime friend of Mr. Lefebvre's, and he often visited as a teenager.
Since then, Mr. Lefebvre has spent about $270,000 on refurbishments. The mud-and-sand patio leading to the garden was paved over with limestone and some walls were restored. He also knocked openings into the house's stairwell to let in natural light. His two sons, Lucas, 17, and Maxence, 8, visit most weekends and have individual bedrooms set aside for them.
For many years, Mr. Lefebvre didn't live in the home, as it was inhabited by his then-romantic partner. Now that he is engaged and permanently moved back into his residence, Mr. Lefebvre plans to spend another $270,000 to $400,000 on improvements. He also anticipates that his children will be there more often in the coming years.
"There's a lot of good vibes in the house," he says. "It's a happy house."

Wonderful Winterberry
It was a cold, drizzly day at nearby Aldridge Gardens. A bright red color near the lake caught my attention; and when I investigated, I found a colony of Ilex verticillata, or American winterberry, glowing in the damp, gray air.
Winterberries are deciduous hollies native to eastern North America from Texas to Florida, north to southeastern Canada. They are an important food source for numerous birds, including American robins, bluebirds, bluejays, cedar waxwings and many others. A flock of birds may descend on a winterberry bush and and strip it of its berries in one boisterous banquet! Many mammals, such as raccoons, squirrels and rabbits, also enjoy the fruit.
These are tough, easy-to-grow shrubs. Growing in full sun to partial shade, they love wet, acidic soil but will adapt to other conditions. They can do well in average garden soil. In wet soil they may sucker and produce colonies.
Like many other hollies, winterberries are dioecious, needing separate male and female plants to produce berries. They may blend into their surroundings much of the year; but their bright berries persist on bare branches long after their leaves have fallen, and they can be spectacular in the winter landscape, at least until the birds get them.
Here are another couple of views of the winterberries at Aldridge Gardens:
There are many cultivars of Ilex verticillata available. They can vary in form and size from about three feet up to sixteen feet at maturity. Berry color can also vary. 'Winter Gold' is a female cultivar that reaches about five to eight feet.
Winterberries can be a highlight of the winter garden; and if (when) your feathered friends discover them, watching all those happy birds can be a thrill, as well.

Oh but I want these.
The boss is back from the UK today. I wonder if he brought me back these gorgeous shoes? I think I deserve them since it was my 6 month anniversary here on Monday, I'm a loyal, hardworking (most of the time), fun, friendly, engaging, reliable, fashionable....well, obviously I could go on but I'll stop...employee. Maybe I should have put that in an email and sent it to him before he left London.
Yesterday I followed a woman to the bus stop and I marvelled at how she seemed to be walking while trying to keep something between her knees. Had to be that because why would you take such tiny little steps in life if not for that. Is that a new inner thigh workout. Maybe I should try it because mine could certainly use some toning. Plus, really, it would take her a week to walk a block. On top of that she had on a skirt that went to her ankles (so you couldn't actually see if there was something between her knees) and the pointiest toed shoes I've seen since.....well, ever.
Seriously, I'd be tripping trying to walk in these shoes. Maybe that's why she took such tiny steps so she wouldn't trip. Then to top off this interesting ensemble, she had long blond hair and large sunglasses on but the arms of the sunglasses were over top of her hair so you could see them. Not a good look. I'd find that pretty uncomfortable too. Maybe she worried that her hair would fly around when she jumped on her broom....sorry, got carried away with the Wicked Witch of the West shoe theme.
Today I am sure that everyone on the bus was thrilled to enjoy the smell of my hardboiled eggs....bahahahaha. Glad that I was on a bus that I don't normally take. I parked at a different park and ride as its Bus Strike Ladies Dinner night. One of my favourite evenings. A few hours spent having dinner with the ladies I carpooled with (and worked with) during the bus strike years ago. It is a little touch of old home week. Had tea the other night with a former co-worker from Nordion and am going to the Market at lunch with yet another former Nordion co-worker. Dinner next week with another former Nordion co-worker. Old, dear friends are the very best and we really aren't old, right ladies? :)

With President Donald Trump likely to return to Mar-a-Lago on Friday for a third consecutive weekend, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw estimates his deputies have already racked up about $1.5 million in overtime costs for Trump's other visits since the Nov. 8 election.
Bradshaw said he's confident the money will be reimbursed by the federal government.
"I do hope he is correct," said Palm Beach County Administrator Verdenia Baker.
The county sent letters to federal officials in December seeking reimbursement for security costs from a five-day Trump visit in November as president-elect. Those costs were initially estimated at $250,000, but Bradshaw said in a Monday interview with The Palm Beach Post that the November figure is "going to be closer to $300,000."
The White House has not announced Trump's plans for the coming President's Day weekend. But the Federal Aviation Administration on Monday issued flight restrictions for the Palm Beach area from Friday night through Monday night. And Palm Beach County Airports Director Bruce Pelly told local elected officials and business representatives earlier in the day that he has heard Trump is returning this weekend.
Pelly was speaking at a meeting organized by U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, D-West Palm Beach, to talk to anxious businesses at the county's Lantana airport, which is about 6½miles south of Mar-a-Lago and was effectively shut down by the Secret Service during Trump's last two visits.
The Lantana airport businesses say Trump's past two weekend stays have cost them tens of thousands of dollars, and their customers, worried about continued visits, already have fled to other airports. One business, the maintenance firm Palm Beach Aircraft Services, says it could lose at least $2 million a year in gross revenue.
Bradshaw said his agency's costs have been fairly consistent since Trump's November visit. Based on his revised $300,000 estimate for that five-day stay, Bradshaw said it's reasonable to figure deputies receive about $60,000 a day in overtime to assist the U.S. Secret Service during Trump's visits.
The sheriff's presidential details are paid with overtime so routine law enforcement isn't compromised, Bradshaw said.
"We don't take anybody off the road that handles normal calls for service," Bradshaw said.
Aside from the five-day November visit, Trump stayed at Mar-a-Lago for nearly 16 days, from Dec. 16-Jan. 1, as president-elect. He returned for another 2½days as president Feb. 3-6, then arrived last Friday afternoon with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe before departing Sunday afternoon.
Those visits total about 25½ days — or about $1.53 million in overtime, based on Bradshaw's $60,000-a-day estimate.
"I'm very confident that we're going to get reimbursed," Bradshaw said. "There'll be a point in time where I'll have a conversation, I hope, with the president personally or with someone high up in the administration."
Bradshaw, elected sheriff in 2004, said he has met Trump several times since Bradshaw was chief of police in West Palm Beach in the 1990s.
"The sheriff works very closely with the Secret Service…He is probably closer aligned with the entities and has a better feel that we would be reimbursed. I have not received that type of information from anyone in writing," said Baker, the county administrator.
Presidential visits to Palm Beach County are not unusual, with former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all making multiple visits for fundraisers, golf outings and campaign appearances. But those visits did not involve extended stays, as is the case with Trump.
"Obviously we take it very seriously and we're fortunate we have the experience and the manpower to be able to handle it. We work seamlessly with the Secret Service because we've done it so much," Bradshaw said.
In addition to the sheriff's cost, West Palm Beach Chief Financial Officer Mark Parks estimated the city police and fire-rescue personnel have incurred about $26,000 in costs for Trump's February visits. The town of Palm Beach did not have an estimate for its costs.
Aside from the issue of taxpayer costs, business operators at the Lantana airport told Frankel their livelihoods are in danger unless the Secret Service modifies the current flight restrictions.
"What are we going to do here when he's here for two weeks? Thanksgiving? Christmas and New Year's?" private plane owner Kelly Gottlieb told Monday's meeting . "If he's here for a long period of time, I think this airport is in dire straits."
The businesses told Frankel that they understand the need to protect the president while he's here, but hope the Secret Service can at least listen to tweaks and the FAA have suggested.
Frankel said now that the Secret Service has two visits under its collective belts, "Hopefully we can make a better case."
One option proposed by businesses would allow planes to come and go to the west and southwest, a plan they believe would not threaten the president's security.
"This is an absolute easy fix," private plane owner Phil Valente told Frankel. "All they (the Secret Service) have to do is approve it."
Pelly said the FAA and the Transportation Security Administration "have stepped to the plate" and offered to provide staff for Lantana, and have said the tower at Palm Beach International Airport also could track planes coming in and out of Lantana, listed as the 10th busiest "general aviation" air facility in the nation.
"We have offered everything you can possibly think of to make this a safe operation," Pelly told the gathering. ""These people (pilots) have offered to be fingerprinted, for crying out loud."
Frankel asked the businesses, as well as Pelly and Palm Beach County Commissioner Dave Kerner — a Democrat whose district includes the airport — to assemble a package she could take to the Secret Service. She said she'll also reach out to the White House to ask that it lobby the Secret Service to make accommodations.
And state Rep. Lori Berman, D-Lake Worth, whose legislative district includes the airport, said she'll craft a letter to Gov. Rick Scott asking if he also can call on Trump, a longtime friend, to talk to the Secret Service. The Palm Beach Post posed that question to Scott's office last week and again Monday but he did not answer it.
"At the end of the day," Pelly said, "this airport can be operated without being a threat to the president. There's no question about that."

Love Notes from Rising Lotus Clients
"I would say hands down the single best decision we made was choosing you to shoot our wedding. Your photos take my breath away and they truly bring out the feelings I have for the people in my life. Your ability to capture the beauty around us and the emotion within us is incredible. - Melissa, Bride
"Can't say enough great things about Marilyn and her staff. They went above and beyond to make sure our pictures turned out amazing. They made sure we got out pictures done in a timely manner after the ceremony. Marilyn's dedication to her clients is unheard of. From driving over and hour to scout the venue for our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. To working timelessly to get our engagement pictures back for our party. As someone who hates getting their picture taken, I enjoyed taking my wedding pictures and Marilyn and her staff made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Thank you again for all your hard work!" - Megan, Bride
"If you know Marilyn you know how amazing she is in general, but the time and effort she puts into her photography is truly incredible. Our wedding was a backyard wedding at my mom's. Upon first meeting with Marilyn we had no time frame for the day's events and to be honest were completely anxious about how the day was going to go. In less than an hour Marilyn essentially mapped out our wedding timeline, eased our nerves, and actually helped us get excited about our big day. The day of the wedding, her patience with my crazy family and ability to be flexible while still helping us keep up with the timeline of events blew my mind. Not only are my photos incredible, but I feel like Marilyn really captured who my husband and I are as a couple. She really takes the time to make it individualized and special. 5 stars all the way. She will be my go to from here on out for all my new family's milestones."-Morgan, Bride
"Marilyn was wonderful to work with. She was more of an extension of our wedding guests versus a vendor. She will know more people in your two families than your own Aunt Sally. And not because she was seeking them for a photo, but because of how personal she is. Other exceptional qualities include: Compassionate Detail Oriented (even provided a day of schedule!) Great with kids! Love her user friendly site to download and share photos." -Hailey, Bride
"We couldn't be happier with our wedding photographs! Marilyn was so easy to work with yet was so professional. She had wonderful ideas and executed our vision perfectly. We would absolutely, positively, definitely recommend Rising Lotus Photography to anyone looking for beautiful, meaningful, and priceless photographs!"-Andrea, Bride
|"My husband and I chose Rising Lotus Photography to be our photographer for our wedding last month and we are so happy that we did! Marilyn is so professional and goes above and beyond what you would expect from a photographer! If you are looking for a fantastic photographer with an amazing eye for perfection then Rising Lotus Photography is the way to go! I would recommend Marilyn to everyone!" - Jennifer, Bride
"Marilyn and her team worked with our tight schedule and multiple needs. We had an 11:00 am ceremony with our reception to follow and end at 3:00. She exceeded my expectations! We got the shots and the day went smoothly. She was super easy to work with and actually helped keep me calm on such an emotional day. Being able to play with each other and our photographer allowed us to capture some of my favorite shots. She brings her big heart into all of her projects and see a little piece of her kind spirit in our portfolio. We received the photos in a timely manner and will recommend anyone to her!"- Megan, Bride
"Rising Lotus was outstanding! Marilyn was so sweet and so helpful. We very thrilled with all the pictures she gave us. There were so many and they were all good. She had cute ideas that were different than every other engagement photo you see." - Cameron, Engaged Bride
"Seriously, I have no idea how you did it, but these pictures are absolutely amazing! I am so happy with how good they turned out. The way you captured us...sexy, fun, playful...BRILLIANT!!! I really hate taking pictures and was skeptical that I'd like pictures of me, but you've blown me away. There isn't one I can say I hate and there are so many I love I can't even pick a favorite. I'm sooo happy you are going to be there on my big day. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!"- Candice, Bride
"I hired Rising Lotus Photography for a special photo session with my daughter. It was such an amazing experience to work with her. Marylin took a precious "mommy and daughter" moment and captured it onto absolutely stunning photographs that we will be able to treasure for a lifetime." -Katherine, Mom
"Wow!!!!! Marilyn is absolutely amazing on so many levels. For starters, she is so genuine and excited about what she does and her passion and love truly shows. She made me feel so at ease with her. She truly went above and beyond all of my expectations from the first time I spoke with her to following up with her now for planning a family photo shoot. She is timely, organized and extremely professional. That doesn't even touch on her amazing abilities to photograph, the editing, and capturing the moments. I was not expecting to get my photos back so quick or the slide show she sent to me ahead of time. All of my guest continue to tell me how amazing Marilyn was which also really says something. She truly made my night amazing and I know that I had the best photographer out there <3 " - Kelly, Bride
"Marilyn is a very talented photographer, no doubt about it. But even more important than that, she is a total sweetheart. She was so patient with me and my bridal party during our portraits when we were being constantly interrupted by phone calls, people knocking on the door, upset kids crying around and relatives running late for the portraits. She made this whole experience magical, I truly felt like a super model and I was really excited about every single shot we were setting. Just by looking at the couple of photos she has sent us as preview I know that we made the right choice hiring Rising Lotus. They are absolute perfection. Thanks Marilyn for your hard work. It was a pleasure working with you." -Lina, Bride
"Marilyn truly has a gift for capturing the moments that matter the most! I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience with Rising lotus photography! Marilyn has given my family an experience and pictures we will forever cherish. I will definitely use her in the future and would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!" -Alexis, New Mom
"Marilyn is absolutely amazing. She takes beautiful shots and captures the most precious moments. She is extremely talented and loves every second of what she is doing. Her work is filled with love and passion." - Mindy, Engaged
"Marilyn is an amazing photographer. She was with us the entire time, from the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, morning of the wedding, ceremony and reception; capturing memories that will be cherished forever. She is very flexible and attentive, with an amazing eye for photography. She is very comfortable to work with as well as passionate about what she does; taking time and focusing on what was truly important to my (now husband) and I. We were truly grateful we found Rising Lotus Photography for our wedding." -Kristy, Bride
"I could have never expected such a wonderful outcome that Marilyn delivered - she went above and beyond on both capturing beautiful images and mailing a beautiful CD afterward with great packaging and prompt delivery. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!"- Laura
"Marilyn shot our first family pictures, and I couldn't have picked a better photographer. She was so attentive to detail and incredibly patient with my 2 children, ages 9 months and (almost!) 4 year old. She was open to my suggestions and spent a lot of time to ensure she got "the shot" with each pose. She is genuine, honest, humble, and her love for capturing artistic moments in time is so refreshing! We are beyond happy with our session's images that we are already planning the next one! If you're looking for a photographer who is not only qualified but award-winning, take a look at her images, they speak for themselves!"- Amanda, Mom

Hello Shannon,
I just wanted to reach out to you and extend my great appreciation for all you've done for me and my family. When I came into your office I never thought I would walk out a homeowner. When I came in I didn't know what to expect because I was not sure where I stood credit wise and knew I still had a few things to take care of to move forward. I was advised by Shannon how I would not know unless I tried, I said you're right, I'm nervous but let's go for it. With a few quick questions and a phone call to the lender I was well on my way. My family and I closed a month sooner than we expected. We were in our new home before my birthday, my two children's birthdays, and we celebrated Thanksgiving in our new home. I have so many things I am thankful for and blessed at that, but I needed to add one more blessing to the list and that is Shannon. Shannon walked us through everything. Shannon was a huge impact at the design center, with any and every question I had, and at the closing to ensure I was not alone in the most important process…..getting my keys!!!! I can't express my gratitude and appreciation enough to Shannon Welch, not only was she a wonderful asset to this entire process, she is now a dear friend of my family!!!

Carol, I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how very much I appreciate all you have done to help us get the model home. It's very complicated, not nearly as easy as going out and getting a house. The kides are very excited. You really helped Jennifer feel better about where she will be living! And that helps their relationship a lot! You will forever be in my debt… so just know. I am very, very grateful to you. As a MAJOR Jewish mother, I want my kid happy! Too bad they don't know how much work is involved- but that's OK.

My wife Cindy and I began our new home search in February of 2012. We visited several neighborhoods and builders in the Memphis area and in April, we chose to build a new home in the Village of White Oak using Regency Homebuilders. We worked with Elizabeth Crowe and not only did she help us with great information about lot selection, housing plans, etc… she helped us sell our old home at a great price. Our home was completed and we closed in early October and we love it! Not only was the process smooth and relatively fast, everyone with whom we worked at Regency from Elizabeth to Mickey the Building guru were nice, friendly and extremely customer focused. I would recommend Regency to anyone considering building a new home.

Richard Floyd was such a pleasure to work with! My husband Ben and I were moving back to Mississippi from Georgia. I was a first time home buyer, my husband wasn't but he was still down in GA at the time. Richard was always there to answer any and every question I had. He sent Ben video clips of the progress of the house on a regular basis which helped feel more involved. Our house hunting started in July 2014. Ben stumbled upon this hidden gem in late July and we closed on his birthday in August!! We signed the contract at the tail end of construction so we didn't get to pick out any of the design elements on the home but we wouldn't change a thing! It is my dream home! We make sure to recommend Richard and Regency to everyone we know…A big THANK YOU to you all!
Ben and Amanda Wyer | Olive Branch, MS
Richard Floyd was the utmost professional to work with when purchasing my new home through Regency. Going into the process of buying a new home, everyone told me what a hassle that it could be but Richard made it completely smooth and stress free. With his knowledge and experience in both the building and real estate industry, he answered all of my questions very thoroughly and in an extremely timely fashion. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone I knew who was looking to buy or sell a home in the area.
Lance Gooch | Cordova, TN
Eddie Apperson, This email cannot express how pleased I was with the service you provided in my new home purchase. Even after the sale of the home, when most realtors are long forgotten, you have continued to provide legendary service beyond the signed contract! When I speak to others about my new home and when I know that friends and colleagues are in the market, I will certainly be sure to give them your card and contact information. Thank you again for the wonderful experience in my new home purchase!

Boston Pizza Case Study
- Who
- Boston Pizza
- Location
- Vaughan, ON
- Completed
- Summer 2010
- Products
- Orion M-PDP (video wall)
The Installation
A group of Boston Pizza investors were looking to drive more traffic to a specific location, the Vaughan location at Highway 400 and Highway 7. This restaurant had the potential to draw many more customers than it was actually getting, and they knew something exciting had to be done to attract new customers yet maintain the feel and brand of the company.
When word of mouth spread from another franchise in Halifax / Moncton, APG Displays was called to help Boston Pizza supply a powerful audio/visual display that would attract more customers to Boston Pizza Vaughan. After examining possible solutions to the problem, APG suggested the Orion M-PDP video wall (no bezel plasma), a high impact plasma display in a 4x4 configuration (16 x 42" plasma screens combined).
This video wall was installed and became fully functional in only 2 days, and the high impact displays really revitalized the location. As customers started to come in more frequently, new patrons were attracted to the big screen and food/drink consumption increased. "Business has increased almost 20% over the last year", says Jeff Dick, the general manager of Boston Pizza Vaughan.
The displays have been used to show sports and other exciting entertainment to customers, making their experience more enjoyable and consequently enticing them to stay longer.
If you are looking for an AV solution that can help increase traffic in your bar or restaurant, contact APG displays at 1-888-712-0785.

Yes, I am still alive. I can't remember when I had something really profound to say. I just realized that if I don't write something soon, this blog has a really good chance of just dying a slow, unnoticed death.
I've discovered facebook, or as our old babysitter ("old", as in WAS our babysitter when H needed a babysitter) calls it "crackbook". Now, when I have a few minutes I seem to waste them away there, instead of here, using my brain. I signed up for a facebook account when H started hers, just so that I could be her "friend" and keep up with what she was doing. Then, all the sudden, old friends, co-workers, ex-boyfriends, and the like started popping up. It's fun in a voyeuristic kind of way, to look at other people's photos, status updates and things. Now I know all kinds of important things...that Leann is wondering what to cook for supper, that Mary wants to go to the movies, that Jack is training for a marathon or that Stuart is catching waves in New Zealand. I can post the thousands of pictures I take and my family can look at them if they want...I don't have to burn cd's or email them in multiple attachments. Much easier.
We had a great winter break. As soon as H finished her last exam we flew up to New York for three wonderful days. You certainly couldn't tell the country is in an economic crisis in New York! Geesh. The crowds were in full force. I don't know if they were buying things, but they were certainly in the stores. It snowed like crazy, which really put us in the Christmas spirit. I jogged in Central Park and it was like a winter wonderland.
Back to Nashville for Christmas, then to North Carolina the day after for five wonderful, relaxing days in the mountains with our dear friends from Dallas. We met with a landscape architect to discuss moving forward with building the deck and driveway for our new lot on the lake!!!
It's kind of scary, with the economy like it is, so we're kind of slowing down a little bit, to see what happens. We had originally planned on breaking ground in May, but now, we're just going to build the deck and driveway so that we can get down there and use the lake this summer. We'll see what happens.
Lots more to write about, but I'll save it for later.
I'm optimistic about 2009. I like fresh starts. Take a deep breath, re-evaluate your priorities, look around and appreciate what you do have...family, friends, health, and just take it one day at a time. Happy New Year!
P.S...Congratulations, Princesse!!!

Mayflash USB fighting stick – only $29!
If you're looking for a good quality fighting stick, but aren't ready to take the plunge and buy anything too expensive, then this little baby is ideal. The Mayflash USB/Universal fighting stick is super responsive, supports button re-mapping and macro functions, and has a solid metal base with big rubber feet. It's compatible with PS2, PS3, and PC (MAME anyone?), but the main thing going for it is the ridiculously low price. The only bad thing about it is that it can be a little bit noisy – but at this price, I think that's forgivable. Even if you already own a fighting stick, then it's probably not a bad idea to pick up a Mayflash USB Fighting Stick to use as a backup, or for when your clumsy ham fisted friends want to play. Buy one now. At this price they'll be all gone soon.

A Streetfighter For The World | The Sunburst Seeley Commando
As featured on the #1 custom bike website www.bikeexif.com/nyc-norton/ In early 2014 we got a call from an overseas number on the shop phone. On the other end of the call was a pleasant voice with an unidentifiable accent who introduced himself as "Joe". He was calling from his home in a small country nestled in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.

Racing 2014 | New Jersey and Utah
For years our closest race on the AHRMA calendar was Grattan, MI, clocking in at 750 miles from NYC. So when the announcement came in last year that we would be racing in New Jersey we couldn't believe what we heard. The notion of being able to load up and get to a track in 2 hours (125 miles), spend a weekend chasing the racing jones, and make it home to our own beds by Sunday evening was such an alien concept. Because the track is centrally located to NYC, ... read more

Racing 2014 | California Dreaming
The American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association, or AHRMA, has lumped a lot of their racing weekends into back-to-back events. There are mixed feelings about this as 50% believe it's impossible to take that much time off from work, and the other 50% like the fact they can get more bang for their travel buck. For our East Coast-based racing operation, the back-to-backs weekends of Willow Springs and Sonoma Raceway in Southern and Northern California, respectively, made for easy planning and logistics.

Racing Update | Midwest Madness, 2013
For many years, we've been carrying our racing bikes to the track in a small but very efficient 1999 T4 Volkswagen Eurovan. It served us well and was absorbed into the NYC Norton business as a lithe big-city bike hauler. But the transmissions in these vans are notoriously fragile, and the need to carry more bikes and sometimes tow a trailer was upon us. After much laboring, bean-counting, talking to car dealers, accountants, and shrinks, the business took the plunge and we bought a new Sprinter to carry bikes - ... read more

When I was in Taos, New Mexico last year I had blue corn piñon pancakes, which were delicious and an inspiration for this dish. My friend and chef over at La Cocina de Luz, Lucas Price, does another variation: buttermilk-corn pancakes with shrimp and avocado salsa. This is a combination of both creations. Savory pancakes are a great alternative to bread or tacos. These babies were on JB & ME's menu this past week. Blue Corn- Chive pancakes with red cabbage slaw, herb and citrus shrimp, black bean -avocado- orange salsa, jalapeno-cashew cream, topped with spicy micro greens. Try to find local organic blue cornmeal. The batter kept for a couple days, which turned into a couple meals for JB & ME staff. A couple of the variations: fried egg and goat cheese; pulled chicken with slaw, salsa and avocado; fried apples and honey all on blue corn pancakes. Avocados and citrus are in season and the blue corn meal and micro greens are local.
blue corn-chive pancakes with red cabbage slaw, herb and citrus shrimp, black bean avocado-orange salsa
served with a side of jalapeño-cashew cream
blue corn chive pancakes:
1 1/2 cup ap flour
1/2 cup organic blue cornmeal
pinch of salt
1 tb raw sugar
1 tb baking powder
2 organic eggs
1 1/2- 2 cups of milk ( try almond milk)
2 tb butter or coconut oil melted
2 tb chopped chives and or garlic
mix wet ingredients, then slowly mix in with dry ingredients, EXCEPT, the baking powder. mix in baking powder right before cooking. melt more butter or coconut oil in cast iron pan and cook pancakes. turn when bubbles start to form, test a couple for seasoning. adjust salt and/or sugar.
herb and citrus shrimp
1 handful cilantro
1 handful parsley
1 small handful mint
1 small shallot
1 orange peeled/seeded
1 lime juiced
2 garlic cloves
pinch of sugar
pinch of salt
1/4 cup olive oil
blend all in cuisinart and marinate cleaned and deveined shrimp for an hour before serving. save some marinade for slaw. grill or sauté shrimp in pan a couple minutes per side. for slaw use same marinade and add toasted sunflower seeds.
avocado-black bean and orange salsa
1 can organic black beans ( drained)
2 avocado diced
1 naval orange peeled and diced
1 handful cilantro chopped
1/2 jalapeño seeded and diced
juice of 1 lime
pinch of salt
pinch of sugar
mix all in bowl, keep avocado seed in bowl to keep avocado from turning, cover and refrigerate. great with tortilla chips too.
cashew-jalapeno cream
1 cup raw cashews
1 cup water
1/4 cup jalapeno
1/2 juice of lime
pinch of salt
mix all in high powered blender, until rich and creamy. season as you like
to assemble: blue corn-chive pancake, red cabbage slaw, herb and citrus shrimp, avocado-salsa, cashew cream, micro greens.
all can be made ahead of time to make assembling a breeze:
make batter ( minus the baking soda), make marinade for shrimp , marinate slaw, make avocado-salsa – keep avocado seed in bowl to keep avocado from turning, cashew cream will keep for a couple days in the refrigerator.
some words:
Many of these recipes are made on the fly, experiment with the ingredients, get in the kitchen, be daring, try new flavors, herbs and spices. Try this in your life too. Give someone you don't know a high five, and then smile and keep walking. It will make their day.
Love and light, thanks for the inspiration

I'm back with new nail art! Tartan is everywhere for AW'13 and can't be ignored, but if you're not so keen on wearing the look head to toe go for the next best thing – nail art!
I spotted this design on Wah Nails Instagram page, and it was so easy to recreate.
I used Barry M's Cobalt Blue as a base, which I must say is one of the best Barry M nail varnishes. It's strange how the formula differs from colour to colour but this one gives a perfect coverage and dries super fast. I then used a yellow, white and black nail pen to create the lines.
Yellow first horizontally and then white and black vertically. Top it off with your favourite top coat to give an even nail and done!
There's so many different colour ways to do tartan I think I might try one inspired by Just Cavalli's SS'14 runway!
