IAM / USA Negotiations / Thursday
The Union and company met again today with discussion focusing on economic proposals. We have made no progress on those issues you told us were important to you. Barring some discovery of conscience by the company, the Union's committee does not anticipate any movement on the key issues. It's quite likely we will be voting on the most regressive, concessionary contract ever offered by any company in the history of KSC. Lest you think it's just Union members that this company is abandoning- be aware-this company is imposing these same unconscionable economics on all their employees. So much for loyalty.
Undoubtably, the issue that has aroused the most concern among our members is the termination of the pension plan. We have heard rumors ranging from payout of pennies on the dollar to no payout at all. We are told that our pension monies are reasonably protected. Payout will be determined by actuarial reviews done on the plan's benefit worth conducted by an independent firm. If necessary, the Union has the right to challenge those findings. It is our understanding that the annuity option typically results in benefits paid close to the level that would have been paid had the plan not terminated. The lump sum payout is less certain but we understand there is not a great loss with this option, either. There are no guarantees but this is the best estimation at this time.
The negotiating committee recognizes how difficult this period has been for our members. We assure you, we will endeavor to improve the company's final offer.

Negotiations Continue
The Union and company negotiating committees met again today and continued to work through economic proposals. There has been absolutely no movement from the company on the issues most important to our members. The company's proposals related to Retirement Plan termination, employee health care contributions, levels of health care coverage, sick leave policy, no raise in the first year and reduction of holidays remain unchanged. They have shown no willingness to bargain these proposals. Wednesday's adjournment left the two sides very far apart. We will meet again Thursday morning.

IAM / USA Exchange Economic Proposals
The Union and company exchanged economic proposals today. Your negotiating committee submitted a wide-ranging package which we felt was a basis to begin reasonable discussion and best reflected the needs you had expressed in the contract surveys. The company responded with the most regressive, concessionary contract proposal ever in this Union's history at KSC. We felt you should have some idea of what was proposed by the company. The following is not all of the company's demands but is representative of their economic proposal;
No raise in the first year
No participation in EIP Plan
Termination of the Retirement Plan (choice of annuity or lump sum payout option)
Termination of the IAM National Pension Fund 401K Plan
Termination of company participation in the IAM Dental Plan
Reduction in the basic life insurance
Elimination of $105.00 per week short term disability Basic Core Plan
Dramatic increases in employee contribution to health care plan (USASO levels)
Decreases in level of coverage in medical care plan (USASO levels)
Reduction in annual holidays (elimination of Christmas Break)
Reduction in annual sick days (USASO levels)
No recall rights for those requesting a voluntary layoff
Consolidation of Machinist, Sheet Metal and Welder classifications
Your negotiating committee will continue to review the company's proposals and determine an appropriate response.

I figure, why not play show and tell of how our days typically go? This is from Tuesday, March 1st. It was a pretty busy day. Plus, it will show me that I actually accomplish things during the week.
3:15am – LJ wakes up. He keeps getting stuck in the corner of his crib and gets incredibly pissed about this. Nurse him, back to bed for both of us.
7:03am – LJ and I are up for the day. Nurse him and get some coffee going, because #kids.
7:43am – S is awake for the day. Grab clothes for both kids, bring her downstairs and get her some milk while she watches a show.
8:15am – Sneak upstairs and get myself dressed while the kids are entertaining themselves.
8:22am – Get both kids dressed, put together some breakfast for S and toss LJ in the jumperoo because he pretty much begs to go into it daily.
8:58am – Gather everything needed for preschool, put some makeup on and curl my hair since both kids are cooperating. Pack up the truck so we can just hop in and go when everyone is ready.
9:17am – Everyone is in the car and we head to preschool to drop off S. Unfortunately it's not the 'drop off' type of school, we all need to get out of the car for drop off and pick up.
9:39am – Drop off successful.
9:53am – Take the truck to the car wash. I couldn't take the salt, snow and slush all over it anymore. Plus, a clean truck literally makes my whole day. I get so happy.
10:15am – Head back to the house. LJ slept through the car wash so I came home, cleaned out the truck, went inside and broke down the 17 Amazon boxes piled in front of our door. Amazon will absolutely be the reason we can't pay the mortgage. Oops. Cleaned up the living room, turned on the dishwasher, and headed back out.
10:34am – Arrive at the post office to drop off a couple packages that need to be returned.
10:47am – Arrive at the UPS Store to drop off another package that needed to be returned. I swear these errands go light years quicker without a three year old to unload/load back in the car each time.
10:50am – Sit on Instagram in parking lot. Post a picture. Post link to new blog post about PPD on Facebook.
10:53am – Hop on the freeway and head back to preschool to pick up S. If LJ sleeps the whole time, I head to preschool early to nurse him in the parking lot. Keeps everyone full and happy. *I also grabbed snacks at the house for the park after preschool, S had no idea we were going*
11:35am – Grab S and head to the park to meet friends! This was my first time wearing LJ in the Ergo and he loved every second of it, and so did I! We've been trying for so long to make him love it but his legs were so short and he was uncomfortable.
12-2pm – Played at the playground, fed LJ and had some mommy time. It's so nice to talk to someone over 3ft tall for once 😉
2pm – Headed back home from the park. Nice, quiet drive home too. It was such a beautiful day and both kids were so behaved.
2:20pm – Got home, unloaded the kids and truck and then just hung out. We had been on the go since 9:15 so a break to just relax at home was needed.
2:30pm – Grabbed ingredients and made some macaroni and cheese for us to eat, and grabbed LJ a bottle to have while i ate.
*This three hour gap is a complete blur. I can tell you that the house was a wreck and LJ didn't nap at all so I had my hands full until…
5:30pm – Daddy is home! S can't even control herself when he gets home. She runs and attacks him at the door and then gets a shot of adrenaline until bed time.
6:10pm – We had a pretty late lunch so all S wanted for dinner was toast. When she was finished, it was bath time.
6:45pm – Pj's for everyone! Bed time at our house is strict, and for good reason. Did you see anywhere above that I listed that either child napped? (Besides LJ napping during errands in the early morning) Exactly. So early bed times for everyone. I don't mess around.
7:10pm – Both kids are upstairs asleep. Hallelujah 🙌 Both my husband and I (though it's sometimes just my husband) clean up the whirlwind of toys and baby things covering our main level.
7:30pm – Turn on reruns of Last Man Standing and eat Trader Joe's Speculoos Crunchy Cookie Butter with a spoon. Thank goodness for burning calories while nursing!
9pm – Go upstairs and pump so I can sleep comfortably and freeze the milk. We're currently going through some trial runs of supplementing and seeing if LJ can continue tolerating my milk, or if I need to wean completely. I'll go into that in another blog post.
9:30pm – Bed time! It's hard to believe that at 26 years old, I go to bed this early. But with LJ's horrible sleeping schedule, I can't chance staying up later or I don't get any sleep at night.
And that was our day!
It's usually not very busy, but days that S goes to preschool are the days that I jam pack my errands into the morning because it's way easier to accomplish things with only one child. Are these posts fun to read? Should I do them more? Let me know!

The holiday season is time for celebration, but these days it is often also a time of excess, with more and more food, presents, and decorations being bought every year. It is estimated that each person throws away an extra 50kg of waste at Christmas time, so we've come up with some tips on how you can reduce this waste…
After the festive season is over, be sure to recycle your cards and wrapping paper. Try to avoid foil wrapping paper as this is much harder to recycle, and look out for cards and wrap made from recycled paper or FSC certified materials.
Alternatively, package your presents in decorative, re-usable boxes, bags, or fabric wraps, like these ones from Lush.
At this time of year, people often receive gifts of new models of items they already own, such as cameras, televisions, hairdryers, MP3 players, mobile phones, and other electrical goods. Recycle the replaced goods by selling them, donating them to charity, or taking them to your local recycling centre.
Using LED lights to decorate your home will not only reduce your energy use by up to 90% compared to traditional lights, but also save you money on your utility bills. Remember to turn the lights off before going to bed to avoid wasting energy.
Ribbons and bows are often in perfect condition after a gift has been unwrapped. Stop them from ending up in landfill by saving them to reuse next year.
There will inevitably be lots of leftover food after you've enjoyed your Christmas dinner. Check out these recipes for tasty and imaginative ways to make the most of your leftovers, and reduce your food waste. Moroccan turkey salad or Christmas pudding trifle, anyone?
Christmas decorations can be very expensive, so why not see what you can make from what you already have? Check out this page for suggestions, or if you want more ideas, a quick search on Pinterest produces thousands of results for DIY decorations!
For more tips on how to cut your Christmas waste, check out last year's blog post, and our green gift guide.

She's spotted some rad finds that got past our keen Craigslist scouting eyeballs..
She's spotted some rad finds that got past our keen Craigslist scouting eyeballs..
Was working the last time it was used. An attractive stove, I have a warm spot for 'em! $100.00. (Original Post)
Yesterday I visited with my boyfriend's family at their shared cabin near Placerville. Wood paneling, a dead bat under the midcentury pink sofa, and a toasty fire to warm my arse. Now that's my kind of cabin. The kitchen though was the zenith, the apex, the pinnacle. Original GE fridge and pristine double-oven stove with broiler and warming drawers. They are kept in amazing condition time-capsuled in this cabin.
Now that it's officially rainy season, it's time for me and mine to retreat inside and get in some serious cozy kitchen time. Soup and bread making, putting on the poundage whilst listening to some "phat beats." We have updated modern appliances that came with our apartment, but I remember fondly the vintage stove from the old Victorian where I lived San Francisco. That thing worked double-time as a source of pizza and household heat. They're amazing workhorses and look great if you can afford to de-retrofit your kitchen.
One of the most popular brands available for old stoves are Wedgewood stoves. This brand was brought to my attention by our friend Jenn who is hoping to replace the broken stove in her house with one of these bad boys. I've seen them range in price from $150 – $700, most of which seem to be in good working condition but may be missing knobs or handles. Or, like the old stove I used to live with, had loose doors that would just FLOP open. This one is going for $500. (Original Post)
This General Electric fridge is working and going for $250.00. I feel like if you keep an eye out for working vintage fridges you can find some amazing deals. And even more amazing colors. (Original Post)
This hoosier has been listed for a month or more. I keep eye-ballin' it – it's just so wonky but interesting. It includes the drawers that aren't featured in the photo. It is HUGE and looks perhaps 1940's era? I tried researching Mobilux, but didn't find any information. The seller thinks it may be French. This behemoth is selling for $150.00. It is not the sleekest of pieces to go in your slick atomic ranch, but definitely unique. (Original Post)

public opinion online: "Public transportation is a tremendous benefit to our society; it helps people without viable means of personal transportation get to the places they need to go; it greatly reduces traffic congestion in our urban centers; and it helps to improve our air quality.
Pennsylvanians are fortunate because we have a network of transportation resources available to help people get where they need to go, such as work or doctor appointments. Now it's even easier for residents living in Franklin County to find these transportation resources by using an online resource, FindMyRidePA.com."

The drive for carless streets in Philadelphia
The drive for carless streets in Philadelphia: "For Jake Liefer the most unexpected perk of the papal visit weekend happened not on the Parkway or at Independence Hall, but in the serene streets of the city, where he got to take his 1-year-old daughter with him on their first bicycle ride together.
"I felt safe riding on these open streets with pedestrians and other bike riders and without having to worry about cars," the Point Breeze resident said. "It was so joyful without cars honking, engines revving.""

Businesses in the suburbs feel the pain of car culture
dailylocal: ""It was eye opening to see how much emphasis the business community places on public transportation," he said of the planning commission's research into the topic.
According to Waltermyer, one business owner said he could "increase his recruiting ability by 50 percent if he had reliable shuttle service to and from the train station.""

What If the Subway Were Just … Free?
Philadelphia Magazine: "But the benefits of free mass transit are obvious. Transit workers who collect fares could be redistributed to other jobs. Lower-income residents would no longer have transit fares taking a large chunk of their paychecks (27 percent of SEPTA riders overall make less than $25,000 a year, according to SEPTA's most recent operating budget). Transit police would no longer have to police fare evasion. Plus, making transit fare-free should encourage ridership — and move people away from cars. Packed trains are more environmentally friendly than cars. Philadelphia may not have achieved Mayor Michael Nutter's goal of becoming America's greenest city, but sustainability is a stated goal of our political leadership."

One third of Philadelphia homes have no car
dailylocalnews: "More than a third of all Philadelphia homes are carless. It could be a matter of economics and a money saving measure, but for many I'm sure a car just isn't required. The El or a bus is usually quicker and you don't have to find a legal parking spot."

Phila Chamber of Commerce stands up for transit #su4t
PlanPhilly: "Business and labor joined politicians past and present at the "Stand Up 4 Transportation" rally at Dilworth Park, part of a national effort organized by the American Public Transportation Association to pressure Congress into addressing the looming expiration of current federal transportation funding law on May 31st. The rally was organized locally by SEPTA and the Chamber, with dozens of local unions, transit agencies, ridership organizations and transportation advocates joining the cause of urging Congress to replenish the national Highway Trust Fund."

On Louisiana Roadhouse, Trent Bourgeois was trying to create the feel of a typical Saturday night in any number of roadhouses that you can find throughout Louisiana, and for the most part, the album does just that. The songs typically range from country to swamp pop, and lyrically cover the terrain one would expect in those styles. Joining Bourgeois is an impressive list of guests including Nashville session players Brent Mason (guitar) and Larry Franklin (fiddle). Swamp pop legends Don Rich (accordion) and Van Broussard (vocals) are joined by Chubby Carrier (accordion), Mike Broussard and Bob Henderson (saxophone), Lacy Blackledge (trumpet), Beau Thomas (fiddle), Taylor Nauta (guitar), J.D. White (guitar, mandolin), David Hyde (bass), and Nelson Blanchard (guitar, drums, keyboards, mandolin).
You can definitely hear a Nashville influence throughout the recording, but it is when Trent leaves Nashville and focuses on his Louisiana roots, both lyrically and stylistically, that the album is most successful. Bourgeois makes this point clear on "Back To Luzianne" and "Louisiana," the latter of which paints a beautiful picture of what it is like to live in this great state.
"Gonzales Ain't Dallas," which is revisited with special guest Grayland Templet as a bonus recording, is pure swamp pop and it gives Mike Broussard and Bob Henderson a chance to shine on sax. Speaking of swamp pop, one of the highlights of the record is "Van the Man," a song Bourgeois wrote about Van Broussard; and lucky for us, Broussard makes a guest appearance on vocals. "Gator Swamp" is really more of an interlude that features live swamp sounds recorded outside of Trent's house, but the song is driven by a great accordion groove that really deserves to be fully developed. Finally, if you enjoy the classic sound of a Fender Telecaster then you will want to jump right to "Gator Pick'n'" which features impressive playing from Brent Mason, Redd Volkaert, and Gerry McGee, each taking turns showing why they are considered some of the best in the business.

"Banana Thrower" Arrested on Assault and DUI Charges
In a bizarre chain of events, Osvaldo Ruiz, now known as the Banana Thrower, was arrested and faces felony charges which will include assault with a deadly weapon, reckless driving and DUI. Law enforcement officers were called to a convenience store where the clerk was hit with a banana. The clerk explained to officers that two men had entered the store together and one of them proceeded to use the restroom with the door open. The clerk asked the subject to close the door; at this point, the man became upset and started yelling at the clerk and demanded that he sell them alcohol. What is not completely clear is why the other man grabbed a banana and threw it at the clerk, striking him with it before both men exited the store. Utilizing video surveillance, the officers were able to identify the banana thrower and determined where he went after the assault. Officers went to the location and learned Ruiz and another man had arrived in a Lexus and went into an apartment. After attempts to make contact were unsuccessful, officers decided to keep surveillance on the vehicle. Soon, the suspects fled the apartment complex in the car and led the officers on a high-speed chase. Ignoring the flashing lights and sirens, the driver drove recklessly toward other police vehicles involved in the pursuit. At some point the Lexus went airborne and came to rest between a casino wall and a green electrical control box. The crash severed a meter that supplied gas to the casino causing the casino to evacuate until the utility company could arrive. Ruiz then exited the vehicle and led the officers on a foot chase away from the scene. Officers eventually found Ruiz hiding in a dumpster. Upon his arrest, officers noted Ruiz smelled of alcohol and was slurring his words.

Even when it's Friday
To Danielle LaPorte for echoing in my mind . . . Do what you say you're going to do!
Do what you say you're going to do! Do what you say you're going to do!
and all her other bold, beautiful and catalyst-ic starters.
For the long summer holidays and all their glorious sidetracking from big projects and their re-membering of the essence of life. Appreciation of the world around me, sharing time with people, reading, driving, being back in the sea, swimming in crystal rivers, walking on hot sand and cool forests, simply being, smiling, grateful.
Yep I wanna be grateful today for the sidetracking. For the wonderful sparkles that treasure the way be it those amazing silver flecked rocks along the Versachetal and the way we felt compelled with the others to play them into mini monuments. To all the mementos left as a magical trail the 'I wuz here' with it's gossamer thread to a someone and their muse. To the people who put statues in their gardens for me to see and flags and flowers and windwhirlers as I paddle by on the lake.
And to all the beautiful diversions I came across on in my virtual world that made me smile, that made me think, that made me connect and remember that I am enough and most especially that gratitude is the key even to allowing acknowledging and accepting those things that are also the bane of my progression like sidetracking and diversions. Gratitude makes them not wrong but a beautiful new colour - part of the kaleidoscope of me.
boy that was fun gratitude - I wanna start each day this way
try it - it'll make you smile
what would be your list today??

Anonymous asked: My headcanon for Sherlock is that he used to love sugar and sweets but he found that he couldn't control it and ended up very plump and that's why he eats little or only bland food because he's afraid that it'll slip out of his hands again
Aw my gosh, so sweet! I love headcanons. Please send me more. This is so sweet, I love young!chubby!Sherlock.
Also guys, sorry, apparently I got a bunch of asks and no notifications? Whhhaaa???
Prompt fill for anon:
Mycroft had detested the idea of children his whole life, but when he meets Greg that all changes. He's soon almost constantly pregnant.
I am sorry if this is different from what you were after! It got rather sappy.
Sighing he rubbed his temples while trying to ignore those children outside. He should have taking his work elsewhere. Far away from those children and their constant screaming and shouting and annoying way of laughing. How could anybody want to have this around constantly? He had no idea why anybody would want several as well.
(via fatlock)
Anonymous asked: Sherlock's overactive scientific brain can count calories during a stuffing session. He likes to announce the total afterward.
Sherlock laying on his side, swollen belly pooling over the bed, panting and hard and eager. Groaning as he rolls over and announcing he's going to put on three pounds from his meal alone.
Anonymous asked: "Let me solve this case and I'll let you feed me whatever the hell you want to, later."
Greg collects on that bargain. ;)
So, I made an amazing discovery while googling yesterday. Give this article a read, my fellow kinksters! There are some really great fic/scenario inspiring lines and details here. And it all ACTUALLY HAPPENED!
I am so pleased.

Latest news
Latest news, sponsoring and letters received below from some locally supported charities by PPV.
Macmillan Coffee Morning Success
On 28th September 2012 PPV held a coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support as part of their World's biggest coffee morning campaign.
The coffee morning was held in the boardroom at the Yaxley office which was decorated with balloons and posters highlighting the support Macmillan offer to people affected by cancer. There was a lot of support from friends and family and we had lots of visitors popping in throughout the day for a coffee and slice of cake. The event featured home made cakes and sandwiches all prepared by the PPV staff. The coffee morning was a total success and we raised over £400 for Macmillan cancer support
Wonderful letter we received from Macmillan after event
"You are wonderful! You really are. Your coffee morning at PPV Group Ltd raised £420 on the day.
That's a fantastic amount of Macmillan time, to give people affected by cancer - and their families - some really good people in their corner. A nurse to support them through treatment. An expert on the end of the phone. A volunteer to help with the everyday things.
Because you made time for what relly matters with the World's Biggest Coffee Morning, others won't be going through cancer alone.
With my thanks and warmest wishes to you and everyone who helped to make PPV Group Ltd's Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning such a success. By making time to get together, you've helped sustain others too. I hope you really enjoyed it."
Hannah Redmond
Peterborough Soup Kitchen
On behalf of the Trustees I would like to thank you for your very kind donation of £2,000. It will have a big impact on the running of this charity.
As you know, we are a small local charity and keep our administration costs to a minimum by having no paid staff and low rental costs. Accordingly, all this money will go to feeding the homeless and nearly homeless in Peterborough.
Yors sincerely
Rowena Homan
Yap and Yapy
I am writing on behalf of Yaxley Ameteur Players to thank you for your kind donation to our pantomime. This is very much appreciated by the whole group.
I know that Louise has already spoken to you to convey our thanks but I am not sure that we have been in discussion with Fourfields Primary School in Yaxley. As a result the tickets will be offered initially to children in the school who are known to experience disadvantage in some way and who would not normally come to the pantomime. I hope therefore, that you feel your gift has been well worthwhile.
We wish you a very happy and prosperous new year in 2013.
Yours sincerely
Chris Akrill
Yaxley Yellows
As part of working within the local community, PPV Group Ltd are proud to sponsor local football team Yaxley Yellow U15's. Best of luck in the new season!!!

Leafs Heading To Helsinki
The Toronto Maple Leafs will potentially see two of its top draft picks from 2015 play in one of the biggest tournaments in junior hockey.
London Knight's forward Mitch Marner (fourth overall) and Erie Otters defenseman Travis Dermott (34th overall) have been selected by Hockey Canada to attend Team Canada's selection camp for the World Junior Hockey Championship in Helsinki, Finland.
Marner has been on a roll in the Ontario Hockey League. He's posted 47 points in 22 games played with the Knights, good for a 2.13 points per game average.
With the Otters, Dermott has tallied one goal and 23 assists through 26 games.
Both Marner and Dermott were standouts at the Summer Showcase in August. For a full detailed analysis, here.
With Marner's high end offensive awareness and Dermott's ability to make a strong first pass and be a key player in the defensive zone, there's no doubt that they will be relied on for Team Canada should they make the roster.
The full list of camp invitees can be found at TSN.
Momentous Night For Sparks
Rookie goaltender, Garret Sparks got the win and earned a shutout in his first game as a Toronto Maple Leafs. The Elmhurst, Illinois native became the first Leaf to do so in franchise history.
Just a year ago, Sparks was on a 13 game road trip with the Orlando Solar Bears in the ECHL. And now, his name is etched in the Leafs record book.
Emotions were high for Sparks after the game. To make this ending perfect, his parents were in attendance to witness it.
"That was a completely new experience, and I enjoyed every second of it," said Sparks.
Highlights here
At six-foot-three, 205 pounds, Sparks showed it all last night against the Edmonton Oilers. He was calm, saw the puck clearly and was able to recover quickly if he was out of position. Even though he's a rookie, Sparks played as if he was a seasoned veteran in net.

The cruising community recently (I think) designated the month of October as
"Plan a Cruise Month." They obviously do this to generate sales. The good
news is that October (and January) is a great month to find substantial savings on future cruises.
I highly recommend that you book through a travel agent that specializes in cruises—especially first-timers, since agents usually know the ins and outs of the different ships and can potentially get you a free upgrade. That said, travelers that are cruise-savvy can purchase via the internet to possibly save a little bit of money. Of course, I always check for deals using our search tools and the cruise deals located on our JohnnyJet.com deals page (just keep refreshing to see an offer that interests you).
However, arguably the best place to find cruise deals on the web is Cruise Critic, the leading cruise review and information site that hosts the largest cruise community in the world. More than five million people visit Cruise Critic each month. They also have up-to-date deals from dozens of suppliers, so be sure to check out their Deals page.

Missing Greenville man's body found in Moosehead Lake
GREENVILLE — Game wardens are investigating the death of a Greenville man found dead on Wednesday morning in Moosehead Lake. The body of Matthew Dubien, 46, was found in open water near Harfords Point. Dubien had been missing since 11 p.m. the night before (March 6) after leaving a local restaurant on his 1995 Polaris Indy 500 snowmobile. Game wardens were notified the next morning by Dubien's family when they realized he had not made it home. An intensive search began using snowmobiles and a warden service aircraft.
At around 9 a.m. on March 7 game wardens searched the west shore of Moosehead Lake, an area known to have open water near Harfords Point. A game warden first discovered Dubien's snowmobile helmet and soon found the body of Dubien nearby in open water. Game wardens recovered Dubien's body with a Maine Warden Service airboat later in the morning. The investigation continues to help determine contributing factors that may have played a role in this incident.
Many of Maine's lakes, including Moosehead Lake, now have several open areas of water that just a few weeks ago, were covered in ice. Anyone accessing Maine's waterways must be certain of ice conditions, especially at night. In addition, many lakes have formed pressure ridges. With the recent warm temperatures, open water areas have become larger and more prevalent and will likely worsen with the anticipated heavy snowfall.
This latest incident is Maine's sixth snowmobiling related fatality this season.

Set out all carts no later than 6 a.m. on your collection day, and no earlier than the day before.
Place carts side-by-side in the street, 2' apart and with wheels against the curb.
Do not overfill carts; lids must be completely closed to prevent spillage and litter. Contents cannot exceed 60 lbs.
Keep all carts 5' away from anything that may block the collection truck, including yard trimmings piles, parked cars, and basketball hoops.
If your carts are lost, stolen or damaged,
contact your hauler
Yard Trimmings (Carts and Loose in the Street Piles)
Set out yard trimmings no later than 6 a.m. on your collection day, and no earlier than the day before.
If your yard trimmings cart is full, place extra yard trimmings loose in the street.
Loose in the street yard trimming piles should be no more than 5' by 5', 1'out from the curb, and at least 5' from other piles, carts or parked cars.
You will be notified of alternate collection methods if loose collection is not possible on your street (because of bike lanes, red curbs, etc.).
Used Motor Oil & Filters
Oil filter bags and oil jugs should go on the curb next to carts and piles.
Contact your recycling collection company to order oil filter bags and oil jugs.
Weight Limits
Weight limits are set by the City of San José Municipal Code. Drivers cannot pick up containers that are over the weight limits.
Maximum Weight Limits
32-gallon cart
64-gallon cart
96-gallon cart
Extra garbage bag
Extra Material
Extra Recyclables
In San José, collection of recyclables is unlimited.
Set out extra recyclables in paper bags or clear plastic bags on the curb near the recycling cart.
Use bags to secure loose material prone to blowing or scattering such as shredded office paper, packing peanuts, and plastic bags. Tie bags securely and do not overfill paper bags containing extra recyclables. Place all bags on the curb near the carts to prevent accidental spills.
Extra Cardboard
Flatten and cut cardboard so it fits loosely inside your cart.
If you have more cardboard than your cart will hold, flatten and cut it into pieces no larger than 4' by 4' and lean them against the cart.
Extra Garbage
Place extra garbage in a 32-gallon plastic garbage bag labeled with an extra garbage sticker on the curb near the garbage cart.
Extra garbage stickers may be purchased for $6.25 at all San José libraries, Lucky, and Safeway stores or at the Customer Service Center on the first floor of San José City Hall. A portion of the sales from stickers sold at San José libraries supports library programs. Cash, check, and credit card are accepted at all locations (libraries are cash/check only).
If you frequently have extra garbage, you may need to order a larger garbage cart.

Big Brother newcomer Liam McGough apparently hopes to win the hearts of twins Amanda and Sam, according to his dad.
His father also revealed that the 22-year-old joined the show at such late notice that he had to text his boss to tell him.
Dad Joseph told the Daily Mirror: "He is a bit of a charmer with the girls but he really is a smashing lad – very level-headed."
He added that his son will waste no time in chatting up the identikit blondes now he is in the house.
And a colleague also revealed that the tree surgeon makes the most of the scars up his left side – the result of a chainsaw accident.
William Barron said that his pal told girls the scars were a result of being bitten by a shark when he was trying to rescue a small child – or that he was trying to save someone from a burning building.
"He loves impressing the ladies," he explained.

When Mamoru Oshii makes a blockbuster blowup scifi action movie, it looks like Patlabor 2, where detectives look out over the ocean and philosophize. When he's full force Mamoru Oshii, it looks like Angel's Egg. So when Oshii is handed down another preexisting series, it comes out looking like the perfect fusion of the Oshii dichotomy, which is… a narrow gap.
He was ready to direct Jin-Roh, but took Ghost in the Shell. Later, in 1999, Jin-Roh would be directed by Hiroyuki Okiura, the most accessible in the Kerberos Saga, and one of the best Oshii projects ever made. Ghost in the Shell might be the most quintessential, but you could make that argument for each and every Oshii movie, from Uresei Yatsura 2 to Fast Food Grifters, I imagine.
Released in 1995, it tells the story of Section 9, a top level government police agency with high clearance and autonomy and everything that's scary about dystopia. More specifically, it's the story of the Major Motoko Kusanagi, field commander for Section 9. She and the team are assigned to track down the elusive cyberhacker, the Puppet Master, who's been able to remotely implant false memories into unwitting subjects and have them carry out his or her bidding, which is usually terrorism.
The Puppet Master storyline first appeared in the manga, made its wide showing here, and was repeated again in Solid State Society. It's so popular because it really does speak to a lot that's going on with the character The Major. We might look at the rest of the series, in all its myriad forms as the everyday goings-on of this character, but this story takes the elements of her character and works with them specifically, such that we see greater interconnectedness.
The reason why media franchises sometimes don't work, or even more specifically, sequels — is because the world was designed around the story, designed to best accentuate or reflect or facilitate the needs of the story. To occupy that narrowly defined habitat with another story requires a new kind of creativity that works against great adversity. Ghost in the Shell has managed to find other stories that work in the universe, and for my money, the Individual Eleven storyline is my favorite, but the Puppet Master case does accentuate, reflect, and facilitate an exploration of both the Major, and the idea of the 'Ghost in the Shell.'
That being, the man-machine interface, or perhaps, the stand alone complex. Perchance, the human-error processor. The ghost in the shell refers to the mind inside some kind of body — not only do we have to broaden the term beyond mind and body, because the body is no longer a defined thing, we also get this idea of the ghost, asking what our mind really is. If the biology of our brains can be separated from the biology, what do we extract to put inside a robot body? What are we really? Our purest selves? The ghosts, that whisper, that which are too pure even for us?
The reason why the Ghost in the Shell franchise works, I think, is because what Masamune Shirow did was set up a scenario where questions could be answered later on. Because the idea of the ghost in the shell is open-ended. And yet, the story of each piece is not necessarily about finding that answer. Not directly, anyway. It's about these hardcore police procedurals and shooting cyborgs. In the Puppet Master storyline, however, the ghost in the shell is more directly explored.
The Puppet Master becomes a foil for the Major, and a legend is born. In the meantime, we have beautifully rendered images, Batou and Togusa chasing terrorists in a flooding Newport City, a very wet slum that speaks to physical decay. This is a daylight film, where Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is all night and noir. The light is cast on the real, even as it shrinks away from human understanding and perception.
It is composed and still, meditative and rhythmic. The original Ghost in the Shell maximized the potential of the manga, producing for the world a vision that I will always cherish.

Hey all,
Happy Thursday! Todays look is featuring my satin bomber, raiders tee and of course my stunning new Simmi boots!I decided to match up my boots and bomber as they're similar in colour and this look went so well with an all black outfit. The raiders tee is an absolute fave of mine. I'm such a sucker for a slogan t-shirt with it being black it just had to be mine, it is currently in the sale so make sure you grab it before its gone!The bronze bomber Sophie and I have had a while now and its one that we have worn continuously. Satin is such a must have and we love the oversized look on bomber jackets or any jacket in general. These Simmi boots are to die for! I also have them in black and considering the slim stiletto heel you would think they would be uncomfortable and hard to walk in but its quite the opposite, definitely THE perfect boots!

Rollbahn 15th Anniversary - ロルバーン15周年記念特設サイト
You might remember my love of Delfonics Rollbahn notebooks from this post. If you also like these notebooks, then you might want to know that Rollbahn is celebrating their 15th anniversary with some special exhibits and limited edition items. The special exhibit at their Shibuya, Tokyo location has ended already (on the same day Parco, the department store in which it is located, closed for renovation) but the one at their Osaka location just started. So if you're in the area before September 20th.. you're a lucky duck. It looks like you can customize your own Rollbahn notebooks at the exhibit with your choice of spiral color and band color, too. Even if you'll be nowhere close to Osaka, the anniversary website is still worth a visit, for browsing their archive of past limited editions and peeking inside notable Rollbahn users' notebooks. Also, see pictures from the exhibits here:

Things I tried recently (and liked)
Hinodewashi Matomaru-kun Eraser (pictured at the top)
This eraser really does clump the eraser shavings neatly together, as its name promises (matomaru means to gather), and it feels very soft and spring-y, just the way I like my erasers to feel. It erases very well.
Nixon × Field Notes
Surprisingly still available! I've fallen in love with the turquoise lines on this edition's body paper, and I'm really enjoying pairing that color with Pilot Hi-Tec-C's Usuzumi.

Current Residents
To register your vehicle, you must bring the following information:
New Residents or Vehicles with Out-of-State Registrations
In addition to the documents listed above please also bring:
Online Registration Renewals
Motor Vehicle Excise Taxes
Excise Tax is an annual tax that must be paid prior to registering a vehicle. Except for a few statutory exemptions, all vehicles registered in the State of Maine are subject to the excise tax. Excise Tax is defined by State Statute as a tax levied annually for the privilege of operating a motor vehicle or camper trailer on the public ways.
The excise tax is calculated by multiplying the MSRP of the vehicle by the corresponding years mil rate shown below:
|Year 1
|.0240 mils
|Year 2
|.0175 mils
|Year 3
|.0135 mils
|Year 4
|.0100 mils
|Year 5
|.0065 mils
|Year 6+
|.0040 mils
For example a two year old car with a MSRP of $25,000 would be charged a mil rate of .0175 equalling an excise bill of $437.50 or ($25,000 x .0175 = $437.50).
For more information please see the Maine Revenue Services website.

4-H offers a great opportunity for homeschooling families to host a Japanese exchangee for a month this summer. Many homeschooling families in northwestern Ohio have already participated in this program.
I'm a volunteer for Ohio 4-H, Henry County, and we welcome 100 Japanese kids each summer along with their adult chaperones. Many other U.S. states participate in this exchange. Ohio has been involved in this program since 1980.
They kids stay with host families from July 23 through August 18 and the children are from 12 to 16 years old although most of them are 12 and 13 years old.
They are members of Labo Party, an English language club in Japan which teaches English through song, games, and plays. One of the goals of the program is to place the children with a nurturing host family and to provide host families with an interesting cultural experience.
It's very much a family oriented exchange program. Families are not asked to alter their routines, but it's nice to do some local sightseeing. The program emphasizes treating the child as a member of the family.
Volunteers are required to make a home visit, interviewing the family and seeing where the child will sleep. They may share a bedroom with a host sibling but must have their own bed.
A host family orientation, usually scheduled in June, is required.
If interested reply to this message, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 419-966-0361. If you live in another state, contact your local extension office to see if the program is offered there.

You know about Netflix, Amazon Prime, Chromecast and Roku. But what exactly is TV streaming?
You've probably heard a lot about video streaming and streaming TV, which is growing in popularity and shows no signs of slowing down.
If anything, streaming is only going to become more and more popular as providers like Netflix and Amazon Prime continue to expand their offerings and as we move further and further away from traditional telly broadcasting times.
Learn more about what streaming is and how you can stream video to your TV.

What is streaming TV?
"Streaming" is really just a catch-all term for any videos you watch through the internet that aren't downloaded. Streaming videos don't have any files to download; they just consist of continuous streams of data to your device.
Therefore, when you stream a TV programme or YouTube video, you're watching the video in 'real time' — meaning viewing the video at the same time the file data is being delivered to your device — rather than downloading an entire file.
This streamed data isn't stored on your device, or at least not the entire file. Parts of the file are delivered to your device to create a 'buffer' to allow for a continuous video stream without interruption. Once the parts of a file have been viewed, they're typically discarded from your device so they don't eat up storage space.
The benefits of streaming are two-fold: Consumers can watch heaps of films, TV series or other videos quickly and without filling up their devices with video files, and broadcasters can put more content online since it's harder to pirate streamed video.
How can I stream TV?
If you have a Netflix subscription or watch catch-up TV, you're already doing it!
To stream TV, you just need high-speed internet, a generous data allowance and a streaming device.
In all likelihood, your internet connection is fast enough to stream video. Typically for videos in standard definition, you only need a speed of around 1.5Mbps, although 5Mbps is ideal. If you're unsure of your internet connection, check out our speedtest to see if yours is fast enough.
If you're streaming to a device with a mobile connection, make sure you're on Wi-Fi or that you have enough data in your plan. Streaming can really eat into data allowances if you're not careful. According to Netflix's figures, one hour of streaming standard definition video uses up around 1GB and one hour of HD video uses roughly 3GB of data.
Even if you're on Wi-Fi, your home broadband may have a usage cap. If you stream a lot of videos, you might want to consider switching to an unlimited broadband plan.

Streaming devices
Nowadays, pretty much any device that connects to the internet is capable of streaming videos, although most services have some restrictions in place on the number or type of devices you can use to stream content.
You can stream video on your TV using any of the following:
- Laptops
- Tablets
- Smart TVs
- Blu-ray players
- Certain smartphones
- Certain set-top boxes
- Certain games consoles
Depending on your set-top box and TV, the easiest way to stream video to your TV is typically a dedicated streaming device like a Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast or NOW TV box. Although you still have to pay for some individual services, streaming devices are quick and easy to plug into your TV.
You can use multiple devices on your TV as long as you have enough HDMI ports or other inputs — which is good since, again, some of these devices don't allow you to stream certain services. Before deciding which streaming service or device is right for you, it's important to understand the various restrictions in place.
Chromecast, for example, won't let you stream Amazon Prime. If you have the NOW TV app on your iPad, you can't connect it to your TV and watch it on the larger screen.
For a full rundown on what streaming devices support what services, check out our guide to turning your TV into a smart TV.

On-demand streaming
Once upon a time, broadcasters aired a TV programme and if you weren't home, you just had to miss it. Fortunately, things have come a long way since then, and now, we can typically watch what we want to when we want to and, thanks to the growing reach of smart devices and mobile connections, wherever we want to.
Whether you're after the first series or most recent episode, chances are you can stream it on-demand.
Catch-up services
Catch-up TV streaming lets you watch currently-airing series from the past seven to 30 days, depending upon rights and restrictions.
Most of the major Freeview broadcasters in the UK — including the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 — have free catch-up TV you can stream online, either through their website or apps, which are usually available on set-top boxes, too.
Alternatively, many providers offer streaming through their own apps, including Sky, Virgin and BT.
Our dedicated guide to watching catch-up TV will have all the information you need to catch up on your favourite series.
Streaming content providers
Streaming services typically have a much more extensive back catalogue of content, including boxsets. For most of these, however, you'll have to pay a fee.
The most popular streaming content providers are:
- Netflix
- Amazon Prime
- TVPlayer
You can read up on each service and decide which one's right for you by checking out their dedicated pages.

Live streaming
Streaming live TV isn't as ubiquitous as on-demand TV — for now. It's steadily growing in popularity, but options are still more limited than streaming catch-up TV.
So far, only BBC, ITV and Channel 4 allow you to livestream TV. Some streaming services — like TVPlayer, NOW TV and Amazon Prime, if you subscribe to channels — let you livestream TV, too.
Otherwise, your provider might let you stream live TV through their apps. Currently, Virgin, Sky, BT and NOW TV's apps let you stream certain channels live.
Premium channels are a bit easier to stream live. Both Sky Sports and BT Sport have dedicated apps so you can always watch your favourite matches no matter where you are.
