Press releases from the Spennymoor Independent Candidate Alan Gardner – Spennymoor Ward By-election on 18th February 2016 :
Ladies, Gentleman, friends and colleagues, The Spennymoor Ward by-election declaration saw Labour win by a single Vote.
Congratulations to James Pratchett.
I would like to thank the whole team involved in my campaign. We have shown that through, openness, honesty, accountability and lots of serious hard work that we are changing minds in Spennymoor. This seat for many years, of a Labour Party giant, former mayor and leader has been diminished to nothing by a newcomer to the township.
Spennymoor Independents should be proud as I have only lived in this town 3 years. The impact of promoting the values that have gained so much trust from those that voted for us should be taken as a massive boost for the future. With strong candidates and our continuing persistence in those 7 key values we hold, we have only the non-voters to convince and we shall do that with continued work in the community, week in and week out as we have been doing.
Thank you to the team of administrators and officials from Electoral Services at DCC. Thank You to all that put their trust in me. I am humbled by every single one of you giving me your vote.
The good people of Spennymoor have on this occasion chose another candidate. We will work harder to gain more trust and respect. We will work harder for a better Spennymoor.
Alan Gardner, 2 Beech Avenue, Spennymoor. DL16 7SU

Village Festival a 'major economic driver'
THE Capricorn business community has praised the organisers of the CQUniversity Village Festival for the multi-million dollar economic stimulus generated by their 2017 event.
Independent analysis of the 2017 CQU Village Festival has revealed an extraordinary $2.84 million impact on the local economy, which generated the equivalent of 27.6 annual full-time jobs for locals.
Capricornia Chamber of Commerce president Peter Fraser said the economic analysis of the 2017 festival showed the event had grown to be much more than just a music, arts and cultural festival.
"For years we've been proud of the festival's social and cultural contribution to our region, but now we are starting to realise the enormity of its economic contribution as well," Mr Fraser said.
"When you see some of the festival's figures - like how it attracted 15,700 crowd attendances (about 25 per cent of which were from interstate, intrastate or overseas) generating over 2300 direct visitor nights - you begin to realise just how important the CQUniversity Village Festival is."
Shop 4703 president Dee Ann Busby said the festival had become an indispensable annual event that deserved more support.
"Shop 4703 members are delighted to support the festival each year because we understand the economic multiplier effect of our contribution," she said.
"Not only does the festival build our community's social, cultural and artistic infrastructure, it has grown to become a major economic driver as well.
"When the festival is on, our shops are busy, our hotels are full and we are exporting our unique coastal vibe to thousands of happy visitors."
CQUniversity Vice- Chancellor Professor Scott Bowman said he was proud to see the university's sponsorship of the festival produce results that extended beyond the arts.
"CQU has always supported the Village Festival because the community looks to us to help nurture the region's emerging artistic and cultural talent. Indeed, many of the festival's performers are former or current CQU drama, arts or music students," Professor Bowman said.
"While nurturing local talent remains our key motivation for supporting the Village Festival, it is nonetheless gratifying to see our contribution multiplied dozens of times over as an economic impact on local businesses."
LSC and the CQUniniversity Village Festival board invite all local businesses to an information evening on Tuesday, February 20, from 5.30-7pm at the Yeppoon Town Hall, Normanby St, Yeppoon, to discuss leveraging off the festival to boost revenue and customer base for local businesses.
To join the meeting, email email@example.com by February 16.
2017 Village Festival facts
- A growing number of young people are attending the CQUniversity Village Festival, with 36 per cent of attendees aged 16-39 years old.
- 15700 attendees.
- A remarkable 92 per cent community pride score as ranked by the local community.
- A proven, viable adoption of the new '100 per cent free public content' festival model.
- $2.8 million stimulus for local businesses.

Easy & Yummy Bread Pudding
Evadne was too polite to share this, but we were the guests at her brunch, and I ate three servings of this bread pudding, it was so good! See my additional comments at the end of the post:
My husband, the true chef in our family, loves this time of year because he enjoys making warm, hearty foods like stews, braises, and pies. And I love this season because I get to eat what he makes! Recently we had some friends over and he made bread pudding, taking the recipe from his favorite go-to cookbook, Mark Bittman's How To Cook Everything.
Typically, I've enjoyed bread pudding as a dessert but we served it as part of a brunch menu...and it really worked, reminding me of cozier version of French toast. The pudding was warm, filling, and just a touch sweet -- the perfect start to a sunny weekend day spent with friends.
Bread Pudding
Makes 6 servings
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Over low heat in a small saucepan, warm the milk, butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt, just until the butter melts. Meanwhile, butter a 1 1/2-quart or 8-inch square baking dish (glass is nice), and cut or tear the bread into bite-sized pieces; they need not be too small.
2. Place the bread in the baking dish and pour the hot milk over it. Let it sit for a few minutes, occasionally submerging any pieces of bread that rise to the top. Beat the eggs briefly and stir them into the bread mixture. Mix together the remaining sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Set the baking dish in a larger pan and pour hot water in, to within about an inch of the top of the dish.
3. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a thin-bladed knife inserted in the center comes out clean, or nearly so; the center should be just a little wobbly. Run under the broiler for about 30 seconds if you like, to brown the top a bit. Serve warm or cold, with or without sweetened whipped cream. This keeps for 2 days or more, covered and refrigerated.
Editor's Note: I made this recipe over the weekend, using some stale baguette that I had tossed in the freezer. I also added apple and raisins (one of Bittman's recommendations). Bittman recommends 1 cup of drained, grated apple (I grated the apple then squeezed out the excess liquid with paper towels) + 1/4 cup raisins. I also increased the recipe overall by about a third so I could use a 9 x 13" glass dish and skipped the final broiling step. Results = fabulous.

The Tigers get their first look at Chicago's Gavin Floyd Monday. The 26-year-old righty went 3-0 in five starts against Detroit in 2008. Chicago went on to win each of those five contests.
The batting order starts with center fielder and speedster Juan Pierre who scored 96 runs in 2010. White Sox fans hope that second baseman Gordon Beckham will improve on his first two years in the majors. The talent is certainly there for Beckham to improve on last years . 252 avg., 9 home runs, 49 RBI line. Right fielder Alex Rios had a solid year last season, hitting . 284 with 21 homeruns, 88 runs batted in and 34 stolen bases.
Even more concerning is the fact that Chicago has now scored a total of two runs in those three losses after averaging 4.1 runs a game this year. Pitching has also been an issue as the team's ERA has climbed to 4.07, ranking it ninth in the AL. Left-hander John Danks will get the start in this one for the sale jerseys. He is 2-8 this season with a 4.54 ERA but has managed to win his last two outings by giving up a total of two earned runs in 15 innings pitched.
Danks' located his fastball with perfection, keeping it down in the zone and right on the corners of the strike zone. His cutter jammed Twins hitters all day, and his changeup and curveball kept them off-balance. Under the circumstances, it was the best outing of Danks' career without a doubt.
Thus. I decided to do a little research. I consider myself a true sports fan. As you all know, I have teams that i am partial to and teams that I root against. However, I always root for tough fought clean competition.
National League Cy Young Award – Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies. Halladay's competition may very well come from any one of his three teammates in the Phillies starting rotation. Not that I need to defend this pick, but Halladay has had a sub-3.00 ERA the last three years, while winning at least 20 games in two of those seasons. Other than his teammates (Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels), Giants' Tim Lincecum will be Halladay's only other threat for the award.
Pitching isn't exactly like riding a bike, but as long as Peavy's mechanics are fine, his command should come back to him. It'll take repetition before his command is back to where it was from May-July of 2010, but it should come back quicker than his velocity and stamina. That being said, whatever results Peavy sees in spring should be taken with a grain of salt given his command will take some time to return. But, if by some miracle, his command returns after a handful of spring outings and he's able to locate within the strike zone well, his return schedule could be sped up.

Do Not Grow Weary by Daniel Seth Kraus
Do Not Grow weary is an ongoing project that follows three evangelical pastors in rural Florida as they harmonize their personal and professional lives. Their profession is all encompassing; each pastor is one of only a few leaders serving the hundreds of church members. Their positions requires that they be readily accessible at nearly all times to counsel and minister to their congregants, often in personal situations and settings. This results in a constant pull for their time and much of their ministry is done in the living rooms of families or the driver seats of their cars. The men in this series, three of my closest friends, shape their personal lives around their vocational duties thereby reordering common priorities. They lead lives that are a blend of personal endeavors and professional responsibilities.
David, vol. 1
The situations in which most people interact with pastors are life's highs and lows, usually a death or a marriage. I remember sitting in the passenger seat of David's truck when we pulled into a family's driveway. Most of the family were members of his church, and some very personal tribulations had just been made painfully and abruptly public to the community. He asked if I wanted to go inside while he made the visit, or if I'd prefer to wait in the truck. I briefly battled my apprehension and went inside to visit with the family with him. I think most people experience David while he is walking right alongside them, as they walk together through the daily labor of life. Most of our lives are lived in the gap between the highs and lows. Watching him navigate and counsel in situations, that to me, feel emotionally impossible, made it clear that his type of work was not to be taken lightly but had some incredibly ordinary characteristics. The personal and emotional extremes of life require counsel, but David's work includes the everyday-ness between life's extremes. This body of work is a selection of images from one of three subjects.

Well, at least Geraldo's off the hook now.
Rachel Maddow promised a scoop and delivered a flop. She Tweeted: "BREAKING: We've got Trump's tax returns." Droves of angry anti-Trump viewers tuned in, pitchforks in hand, prepared to storm the White House and pillory the President for what must surely have been an impeachable—ney, treasonous—offense.
What she produced instead was a two-page Form 1040 from 2005 showing that he paid the IRS $38 million in taxes on $150 million in income, which was offset by $100 million in losses.
That's it. No evidence of mafia ties. No Russian surprises. No evidence of tax evasion. Nothing. If anything, paying $38 million on $50 million in adjusted gross income makes a pretty good case for tax reform.
This was not one of Rachel Maddow's better moments. She actually seemed more like the hapless Rachel Green from Friends; the only thing missing was that charmingly flustered moment of realization that everyone in the room (or country) was staring aghast at her blunder, followed by a sadly endearing quip and canned sitcom laughter. Poor Rachel. Even the Huffington Post published a "Stop Piling On" article in her defense.
Maddow's reputation may have taken a hit, but a number of Trump supporters have alleged that she committed a felony by broadcasting the tax returns. After all, federal law deems it unlawful "to print or publish in any manner not provided by law" a tax return or information about a tax return that was disclosed in an unauthorized manner. Seems cut and dry, right?
Well, not exactly. The Supreme Court has held that the First Amendment protects media broadcasts of private content of public interest that was illegally obtained by third parties.
Specifically, Bartinicki v. Vopper held that the First Amendment immunized a radio station from prosecution for broadcasting a conversation of public interest that was illegally recorded by a third party. The Court acknowledged that the radio station probably knew the recording was illegal and therefore violated federal law, but also recognized that the radio station did not intercept or steal the recording and its contents were a matter of public concern.
The Court ultimately concluded that the law's interest in protecting the privacy of private conversations is subordinate to the First Amendment's interest in disseminating matters of public importance. It wrote that "a stranger's illegal conduct does not suffice to remove the First Amendment shield from speech about a matter of public concern." This was an extension of its holding in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, which imposed a heavier burden of proof in defamation lawsuits filed by public figures regarding matters of public interest.
The facts of that case are analogous to Maddow's broadcast of the President's tax returns. Both laws prohibit the disclosure of information that was unlawfully obtained. Both parties had reason to believe the information was unlawfully obtained, but there is no reason to believe they obtained it illegally. In Maddow's case, there is no reason to believe she or her producers stole the tax returns from the IRS or Trump's CPA. It's more likely that—like the Bartnicki disclosure—someone else broke the law and passed the information to the media outlet. The President's tax returns are—like the Bartnicki recording—matters of public interest. Therefore, under the Bartnicki holding, Maddow's broadcast of Trump's tax returns is protected by the First Amendment.
There are reasonable grounds for criticizing this ruling. Chief Justice Rehnquist argued in dissent that this holding unnecessarily harms the expectation of privacy in our conversations by removing a deterrence from broadcasting illegal recordings: "Surely 'the interest in individual privacy' at its narrowest must embrace the right to be free from surreptitious eavesdropping on, and involuntary broadcast of, our cellular telephone conversations. The Court subordinates that right…to the claims of those who wish to publish the the intercepted conversations of others." [citations omitted]
This provokes a fascinating constitutional and philosophical debate requiring the balancing of individual privacy rights against the media's right to broadcast matters of public concern. That discussion, however, exceeds the scope of this post. Needless to say, however, Rachel Maddow may be feeling blue, but at least she won't be wearing an orange jumpsuit anytime soon.

For a young man, getting his first car can be a momentous milestone...
When you're a teenage guy, the single most important thing in your life, perhaps your defining moment, is the day you get your first car. Your car! You're no longer fettered to friends, parents, and public transit. You're free! You can go where you want, when you want. Suddenly life is good.
My first car was a fleet resale. Dad and I saw this like-new Mitsubishi Lancer. It was cheap because of the colors: baby diarrhea green with urine yellow stripes. The salesman told us it would be easy to have it painted. "ProPaint," he said. "They gotta special. $259."
I drove my car to school the next day. No one laughed, but I could tell they wanted to. It was embarrassing. After school I drove to ProPaint and had it painted Lightning Yellow, for $399 because that's a "special color", a hot color!
After three weeks the diarrhea green's bleeding through the yellow. Back to ProPaint. "That'll happen. It'll bleach out in the sun." Yeah. Sure. But it did. It took three months, just in time for summer.
I love my car. Girls love it, too. More important, guys love it, incredibly hot guys.
Now my life is awesome!

In Germany it's called the Energiewende–the energy transition. It's a deliberate decision to move away from nuclear power and fossil fuels in favor of renewables and energy efficiency. And it's working. Renewables are skyrocketing, nuclear reactors have closed and more shutdowns are on the way, and coal use is declining too, despite the misleading claims of renewable energy haters.
Here in the U.S., it isn't called anything–if we have an "official" government policy at all it's "all of the above," which is the same as saying meaningless. But an ad hoc energy transition is nonetheless taking place in the U.S.
In April, 100% of all new electric generating capacity in the U.S. was wind and solar–511 MW of wind and 50 MW of solar. For the year so far, renewables account for 84.1% of new capacity, with natural gas supplying the rest. The amount of solar is understated, however, since it doesn't account for rooftop solar and other distributed generation. Nor, of course, do these numbers, compiled by the Energy Information Administration, attempt to quantify the effect of energy efficiency on avoiding the need for new generating capacity. There has been, of course, no new capacity from nuclear, coal or oil.
This folks, is an energy transition already underway, quietly, with some government support but without an actual transition policy–indeed, with a policy that is inherently hostile to the transition.
As Ken Bossong of the Sun Day Campaign points out, "Renewable energy capacity is now greater than that of nuclear (9.14 percent) and oil (3.92 percent) combined. In fact, the installed capacity of wind power alone has now surpassed that of oil. In addition, total installed operating generating capacity from solar has now reached and surpassed the one-percent threshold — a ten-fold increase since December 2010." (Full disclosure: Ken Bossong and the Sun Day Campaign share office space with NIRS).
But it's an energy transition with a long ways to go. Germany is the clear global leader in solar power–despite its relatively low solar potential–with 38,200 MW of solar installed as of the end of 2014. The U.S. ranked fifth then with 18,280 MW of installed capacity, also behind China, Japan and Italy–although the U.S. likely has passed Italy by now. Given solar's low capacity factor, that's only about 4 1/2 large nuclear reactors worth of power installed in the U.S.
And it looks worse when you look at solar from a per capita basis, as this article does. The U.S. barely cracks the top 20 of installed solar capacity per person, at 19th in the world, the U.S. is behind nations like Bulgaria (8th), non-nuclear Austria (13th) and even nuclear-dominated France (15th).
Still, the U.S. is a big country with a lot of generating capacity (China is even bigger, and thus doesn't even make the top 20 on a per capita basis). It takes a while to install that amount of any form of generating capacity. And solar is growing faster than any other form. Remember …read more

Although I like to make a cocktail for Halloween, don't let this Salted Caramel Chocolate Martini be limited to only then; it's a great dessert drink for any season!
I missed posting in Friday Cocktails for the past two weeks. It's not like I'm taking any medicine that would keep me from imbibing after cataract surgery but between the constant of putting drops in my eyes, the followup appointments and just how tired they are at the end of the day; I simply wasn't in the mood for a drink…or maybe I was in the mood but just not enough to make one?
So yesterday I decided to get back in the saddle and made this simple, luscious Salted Caramel Chocolate Martini; a fantastic dessert cocktail. I had planned to post it early this morning too; you know, like I used to do in the 'olden days?' But I, um, decided to sip on it while I worked on the photos in Photoshop and by the time there were completed…well, it didn't happen did it? Bad Barb!
This whole cataract surgery thing is strange. The procedure was nothing like I had imagined and was relatively easy. The first eye was the easiest. No problems. For some reason the 2nd one has had more pressure and swelling than the first one so it's required more meds, more time and more patience. I don't do well with any of those!! So some time off from the computer and work was necessary and welcome but enough is enough right?
I love to hang outside on the bench on my front porch on Halloween and see all the kids that come by. I also might love making a fun dessert type cocktail and imbibe just a bit while I'm sitting there for hours. I would offer to have one of these ready to those that show up at my door but know if word got out that kids and candy would take second place as parents race to my house.
This is really a great combination of flavors; sort of like a favorite milkshake but with a nice hit from Vodka. I love Van Gogh's flavored vodkas; they're all natural and leave none of the awful aftertaste of some made with artificial ingredients. I had a bottle of my homemade chocolate liqueur and their caramel vodka in the liquor cabinet and thought 'why not?' so I blended the two together.
The salted caramel rim is fantastic all on it's own but as I mention in the notes; be judicious with the salt. No table salt and just a bit; you want it to enhance the drink but not make it really salty.
Join me won't you and make a batch to enjoy on Halloween. Or all Fall. Or over the holidays. You won't regret it…Cheers!!

Lazy Dog Takes Best in Show at GlobalPetExpo New Product Showcase
Posted on
March 24, 2017
ORLANDO, FL _ Lazy Dog Cookie Co. Inc. of Ballston Spa, NY, was honored with 1st Place, Best-in-Show in the New Products Showcase Boutique category at Global Pet Expo at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, for its new Bake-At-Home Birthday Cake Mix for Dogs.
The all-natural mix, available to retailers as a pre-order for May 15 delivery, was debuted March 22-24, 2017, at Global Pet Expo, which is the pet industry's largest annual trade show. The 12-ounce packages contain a wheat-, corn- and soy-free cake mix made from healthy, dog-friendly ingredients such as oats, vanilla, flaxseed, egg and molasses - just add olive oil and water. The frosting mix is made from yogurt and tapioca and comes with confetti sprinkles.
At Global Pet Expo, more than 1,000 companies from around the world present the newest, most innovative pet products on the market for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small animals and horses. Thirteen football fields' worth of displays showcase more than 3,000 product-launches and 150 first-time exhibiting companies.
The New Products Showcase gives exhibitors the opportunity to highlight their newest lines and gives attendees a chance to preview all the newest products hitting the industry in one location at the Show. This 30,000-square-foot space on the trade show floor is set aside to recognize the year's best creative efforts in New Product and Point-of-Purchase Displays. With nearly 1,000 entries, this is the largest new products showcase at any pet product industry trade show in the world. The New Products Showcase "Best in Show" awards are the most coveted awards given in the industry.
Lazy Dog Cookie Co. was founded by Amy Augustine in 2001 to bake simple, healthy dog treats, free of fillers and preservatives. She and her husband, Keith Augustine, have expanded the business to international distribution by introducing innovative and enticing new products that charm dog lovers, such as Original Pup-PIEs and Mutt Mallows.
Lazy Dog's Ballston Spa headquarters and distribution center has been staffed for more than five years by Saratoga Bridges Prevocational Program, which offers individuals with disabilities the opportunity to gain employment readiness skills. Lazy Dog also volunteers and donates a percentage of profits to help animals in need.
At last year's Global Pet Expo, Lazy Dog Cookie Co. Inc. won third-place honors for Original Pup-PIE Happy Birthday for a Darling Girl and Happy Birthday for a Charming Boy products.

You'll need to send a command for the OFF state of the switch.
When I turn off a switch using the simconnect codes will it automatically turn off the switch in the VC? i.e. if I had a toggle switch set to send the code for landing lights on when I turn it off will it turn the landing lights off or would I need to add code to send a separate command?
You'll need to send a command for the OFF state of the switch.
How do I detect when it is off?
I use I/O pin 13 as an output for quick diagnostics since it has the on-board LED indicator.
1.) PinMode13 as an output
2.) PinMode another as your input
3.) digitalRead(InputPin)
4.) if (InputPin == HIGH) then digitalWrite(Output13 , HIGH) else digitalWrite(Output13 , LOW)
5.) After confirming proper operation, replace digitalWrite command with the serialPrint commands
The above is a generic process since I'm unsure of your skill level.
If you have further questions, please post your code so that we can walk through it together with a clear and concise direction.
I'm pretty new to Arduino but that was very helpful. So this would be placed in the main loop, am I correct?
Yes. Place it the main loop. Also, you'll want to create a string called InputPinold, or something similar, and use it as such:
if (InputPin != InputPinold){
if (InputPin == HIGH) then digitalWrite(Output13 , HIGH) else digitalWrite(Output13 , LOW)
InputPinold = InputPin
The above will prevent the execution of the digitalWrite command at every pass of the loop when it reads the state of the input pin. Without it and using a command to toggle the gear up or down, the arduino will send a command for the gear- even though the switch did not physically change states. This would cause the gear to up on the first pass, down on the second, up on the third, etc.
So I tried this an I had it working with the LED. However I changed it to serial print C01 and C02 for the gear and it filled my serial viewer with C01 - any help?
int val = 0;int inputPin = 2;
int valOld = 0;
void setup()
pinMode(inputPin, INPUT);
digitalWrite(inputPin, HIGH);
void loop() {
val = digitalRead(inputPin);
if (val != valOld); {
if (inputPin == HIGH) { Serial.println("C02"); } else { Serial.println("C01"); };
val == valOld;
inputPin always will equal 2.
ReWrite - if (val == HIGH)
if (val == HIGH) { Serial.println("C02"); } else { Serial.println("C01"); };
You are brilliant! Thank you.
Just one more question: The above code (with the fix that you suggested) is sending the line 'C02'/'C01' repeatedly whereas I thought the assignment of varOld would stop this from happening? Have I done something wrong?
Sorry. My mistake from post #6.
edited post #6 to read:
InputPinold = InputPin

Let's start with a necessary jab at San Diego City Councilmember and candidate for mayor David Alvarez.
A few weeks before the Nov. 19 primary election, Alvarez sent out a statement saying, "Out of town interests and a politician running for Mayor of San Diego are teaming up to threaten the recently approved Barrio Logan Community Plan update which would create jobs and improve the health and quality of life of Barrio Logan."
By not specifically calling out City Councilmember Kevin Faulconer, Alvarez's opponent in the upcoming runoff election, Alvarez essentially gave Faulconer a pass on his major role in the effort to overturn the landmark update of the Barrio Logan Community Plan, which was passed by the City Council at the end of good-faith negotiations and a proper Democratic process.
Indeed, Faulconer pretty much got a free pass on every issue as the primary campaign became a race between Democrats Alvarez and Nathan Fletcher for the second spot in the two-man runoff. It was conceded that Faulconer, the only high-profile Republican running for mayor, would easily secure the first spot.
We hope that Alvarez is done giving Faulconer a free ride on Barrio Logan because Faulconer is neck-deep in the controversy.
As detailed in Joshua Emerson Smith's news story here, people who have been getting paid to collect signatures to place on the ballot a referendum that would overturn the Barrio Logan plan update have lied to potential petition signers about the impacts of the update. They've told people that the Navy will pull out of San Diego, that the plan will replace the shipyards with condos and that tens of thousands of jobs will be lost—none of which is true. This wasn't simply one signature gatherer gone rogue; there have been numerous documented cases of blatant lying. We've seen multiple videos of the liars doing their thing.
Faulconer opposed the plan update and immediately hitched his campaign wagon to the effort to get a referendum on the ballot. He initially lied himself, stating that the plan update would kill 46,000 maritime jobs. He's stopped saying that—because it's false—but the damage of his disinformation, coupled with the lies being told by the signature gatherers, has been done. It's likely that the only way to stop the referendum is for Coast Law Group and Environmental Health Coalition to succeed in proving election fraud.
We asked Faulconer to comment on the obvious pattern of lies, but he declined, instead providing us with a written statement that continues the rhetoric that the plan update is a job killer and expresses hope that the court won't get in the referendum's way.
Faulconer must be held accountable. Not only did he express unequivocal support for the referendum; he even went out and collected signatures himself as a campaign stunt. But also, CityBeat's Kelly Davis analyzed campaign-finance disclosures and found that Faulconer has raked in at least $36,650 from people involved in shipyards in San Diego, the industry that's bankrolling the referendum campaign.
Reporters must press Faulconer on the deceitful referendum process whenever he attempts to use it to his advantage in the race for mayor. He bought in to it, so he owns it.
The only controversial aspect of the wide-ranging plan update is a small buffer zone inside which no new ship-repair-related businesses can open without getting a conditional-use permit and no such existing business can expand by more than 20 percent without getting that permit. That's pretty much it. No new housing can be built in the zone or anywhere closer to the waterfront. Plan op ponents simply believe that the buffer zone will create a residential-serving commercial area that will allow residents to get comfortable, and they'll eventually start complaining about the shipyards.
Meanwhile, the point of the plan update was to provide additional relief to residents who've long been coping with air pollution that's so bad that children in Barrio Logan are hospitalied for asthma at a rate 2.5 times higher than the rest of the population.
If a referendum reaches the ballot, that genuine, true, real-life information will surely be drowned out by the distortions coming from the far-better-financed other side.

Originally from Southern California, my interest in photography first started when ,my purchased a Minolta SRT-101, of which I quickly "borrowed" and started shooting (back then, we used this stuff called "film"). I quickly realized that photography was something he really enjoyed.
I began to expand my understanding of the photographic process during my college days at Pierce College.
With the move to digital photography, the challenge is to keep up to date with the latest tools, techniques and software. I've been a member of KelbyOne (fka NAPP), which has allowed me to continue to learn and improve on both photography and post-processing skills.

Like all divorces this one is going to be messy.
You're the judge, so try sorting this out: The complainant files papers saying she's trapped in a loveless marriage. There's neglect and even some abuse. The complainant wants full custody of the kid and certain rights and privileges to the house and the bank accounts — none of which would exist if the plaintiff hadn't built them in the first place. This is roughly where we sit as people try to divorce Jesus from religion.
The complainant is the solitary Christian, burned out and disenchanted with religion, which the Christian accuses of abandonment. This Christian wants total custody of Jesus, no strings attached, and rights to handle marital assets like doctrine, Scripture, and the sacraments any way desired.
But this is where it gets messy. Divorcing Jesus from religion is harder than it looks.
Jesus established (or depending on your perspective, reformed) religion. It's hard to see him as an enemy of (or even disinterested in) religion when he taught doctrines, interpreted Scripture, instructed his disciples to pray, appointed leaders within his movement, instituted ritual sacraments like communion and baptism, allowed his followers to call him rabbi ("teacher"), and said things his followers wrote down and revered as Scripture. Sounds pretty religious to me.
Alright, what if we only go that far? What if we allow that Jesus embodied and taught something we might begrudgingly call religion. Shouldn't we be able to separate that from "institutional" religion? Maybe we need to amend the complaint and divorce Jesus from the church.
I'm afraid that's just as messy.
After Jesus's death and resurrection, his apostles assumed control of . . . what? The New Testament writings assume an institutional church. The apostles clearly exercise authority. Look the courtroom-like setting of the story of Ananias and Sapphira. Or look at Jesus' own brother, James. James was appointed bishop over Jerusalem by the apostles and exercised authority with and over a body of believers. They gathered and passed binding resolutions. The Orthodox church, by the way, still considers the ruling of the Acts 15 council authoritative and binding.Paul and Peter and the other apostles carried this very model wherever they established the church — appointing bishops, empowering elders (presbyters), writing that Christians in their community should submit themselves to their authority: "Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. . . . Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls" (Heb 13.7, 17). We get some pictures of this in action: If the body at Corinth had no institutional authority, for one example, Paul's direction to excommunicate one of its members (and later direction to restore him) would make no sense.
You cannot divorce Jesus from the church and keep the New Testament because the New Testament becomes a mess of self-contradcition if it doesn't pertain to a religion that has an institutional expression.
None of this is to say that religion cannot be distorted or that its leaders cannot abuse adherents. In the face of distorted and abusive expressions of religion, it's tempting to think that we can divorce Jesus from that mess and have him alone. But it doesn't and in fact cannot work that way.
Christ is the incarnate Word, God made man. The church reflects this same incarnational reality. It's divine and human. Unlike Christ, its humanity is not perfect; we are all being trained in obedience, growing in holiness and sanctity as we become more like Jesus, the primary occupation of the believer. But the reality of our sinfulness doesn't preclude obedience and submission as we grow; it's part of our growth.
We're all imperfect and submit imperfectly. Welcome to the human race. But Jesus and the church require it regardless. To divorce one from the other is to tear the whole thing apart. No one will walk out of the courtroom the winner.

It all started with a really, really good advertisement. In 2012, a Dollar Shave Club commercial released which was both humorous and logical.
In the video (which you can watch below), the CEO of DollarShaveClub points out how silly it is to spend lots of money on razors and razor blades.
It doesn't take much to make this very valid point.
Razors are expensive and they are a consumable product that must be replaced regularly. The CEO goes on to encourage potential customers to sign up for his monthly razor subscription so that they can save themselves money.When you think about it, this business model is
When you think about it, this business model is genius. As some say, "the proof is in the pudding," And, the proof is certainly there. Dollarshaveclub.com earned a whopping $72 million in approximately 3 years.
Talk about doing something right!
Not surprisingly, the Dollar Shave Club commercial went viral.
Part of the company's rampant success was knowing from the get-go who their target audience would be; young men who cared as much about their wallet as they did their appearance.
In the video, the founder of DollarShaveClub gives a solid argument as to why someone should join the Dollar Shave Club subscription razor box.
The reason? Because it makes sense!
The product is good. The price is even better. And, that makes it a smart decision for any person who has hair they wish to remove from their body.
Dollar Shave Club ended up selling to Unilever for a billion dollars. This massive sale of the company occurred because of a few factors. The founders knew how to use marketing, recognized the value of the product, and found a way to make it affordable for consumers (while also cost effective).
Their business model should be studied by any start up business trying to get up and running.


text: HomeOutfits By TypeCasualWhat to Wear to a Rock Concert: How to Rock Out Your Outfit! READY TO GET YOUR ROCK ON?! ALRIGHT! So I take it this is going to be your first time going to a Rock Concert. Obviously, only first timers would actually Google Rock Concert Outfit Ideas because true Rock Music Lovers already know what to wear. Don't worry, we're not judging! We're actually really happy you're doing your research before going out there! So, whether or not you are a True Rocker or maybe you suddenly blanked out and just can't decide what to wear, we've got you covered! Here are a couple of tips on how to dress like you belong at a Rock Concert! Photo Credit BE CASUAL It's all about keeping it comfortable and simple. A plain black tee with jeans and boots are the look you wanna go for because it will be hot and I guarantee that you will be rocking out A LOT! Photo Credit Please don't wear the merch shirt of the band you're seeing! That would be a total Newbie move (maybe because you are, but you want to belong in the scene). Photo Credit DON'T LAYER! Layering isn't an option when it comes to these types of concert. Sure, there are a lot of outfits that consider layering to look really cute but when you're going to be dancing and rocking out, a tank top underneath a t-shirt and a cardigan over is not the way you want to go! It's going to be stuffy in there no matter what the weather is. If you're going to an indoor concert, a light, loose shirt partnered with your favorite pair of jeans that you can freely move around in is PERFECT! Photo Credit If the venue is outdoors, a cool leather jacket or a funky sweater/cardi is sure to give you that Rocker Vibe! Photo Credit DON'T BE TOO GLAMOROUS! THINKING of wearing those $300 Versace jeans you got a few weeks ago? That's an automatic NO NO! Rock concerts are definitely NOT the best place to wear your super expensive outfits because they can get smoky, sweaty, and dirty and ripped. Save those for a more calm atmosphere. Photo Credit KEEP YOUR TOES INCLOSED! Ouch! I think having some random stranger stepping on your feet is not on your list for the perfect Rock out Night. So, to assure that you don't have to dial 911 due to your toe nails missing, flip-flops, heels, sandals, cute strappy Gladiators – not the right choices. Keep your feet covered by rocking out your favorite Sneakers or Boots! Photo Credit BLING OR NAH?! NAH! Avoid wearing too much BLING to a Rock concert! Especially if they're a $900 diamond pendant necklace with rubies on the sides. Also, large rings like the ones gypsies and hippies would wear if they were at a music festival. These rings could actually cause injuries when you jump around and actually hit the rocker next to you. Keep your accessories to a minimum and as close to your skin as possible. You wouldn't want to rip part of your ear lobe because you decided to wear your BIG hoops! Photo Credit Keep it PLAIN JANE – Simple Chokers, Studs, Rubber/ Cuff Bracelets are great accessories to wear to such events!. Photo Credit LESS MAKE UP IS MORE! REMEMBER LADIES your make up can either make you or break you! If you're the type to move around a lot then expect sweat; Sweat + a whole lot of make up at a Rock Concert= A BIG MESS! Wear as little make up as possible! Most Rock Concerts whether they're indoors or outdoors, is going to be dark, so odds are noone will focus on your imperfections! Stay away from wearing too much foundation, blush, highlights, contour, etc. WATERPROOF eyeliner and mascara are your bestfriend. When wearing eyeshadow, make sure you prime it and set it so that it doesn't start leaving stray marks as the night goes on! Keep your lipstick to a minimum as well. If you are going to sing along from the beginning till the end, you're lipstick will be gone by the first song. Keep it Nude or keep your lip moisturizer handy throughout the night! Wearing intense and dark lips will give you more trouble than help! Photo Credit TIE UP THE LONG LOCKS! If you want to head bang to the beat of the drums and not feel all that sweat in your hair after rocking out the entire night, it's best to keep your hair in a bun or a ponytail. No need for trying to look your Sunday best when Rocking out, right? By keeping your hair away from your face, you'll have more time rocking out and less time worrying about how you're going to untangle your long locks! Photo Credit BE ENERGIZED! Drink lots of water and eat well before the concert to prevent dehydration and sickness. You don't want to feel weak. The last thing you want to happen at a Rock Concert is you fainting in the middle of a Guitar Solo! Eating well and getting the proper rest before Headbanging and Rocking out is a MUST! Photo Credit KNOW THE BAND! Before going to the actual concert, listen to their songs first. YES, you may be new to a Rock Concert, but that doesn't stop you from listening to a 3 minute song of the band you're going to see! Whether you know or not know the band, it's common courtesy to know at least one of their HIT songs! PLUS, it's more fun when you get to karaoke LIVE with the band! Photo Credit LASTLY, BE SAFE! As fun as moshpits seem to be in movies, they're NOT. So don't push, don't join the pit and just enjoy the concert. Also, leave all your important belongings in the car or at home! If you want to record, bring your phone, but leave all your other necessities behind. This way you can put all your attention on the performance! Photo Credit ALL in ALL, HAVE FUN!

To honor John Daly, we will be offering multiple lines of John Daly golf shafts to include: a "Signature" series shaft, a tour-quality "Tour Spec" series shaft, and an ultra-light weight "International" series shaft.
Like all of our premium golf shafts, these shafts are Made-in-the-USA by MATRIX shafts.
… John Daly was born in Carmichael, California; however, at the age of four he moved with his family to Dardanell, Arkansas. John began playing golf the following year, and he lettered in both golf and football at Helias High School in Jefferson City, Missouri. In golf, John was the Missouri state champion; however, he also excelled in football, and he continues to hold several state football records for kicking. John attended the University of Arkansas where he was a member of the golf team. He continues to support Arkansas athletics and he is an avid "Hogs" fan.
John turned professional in 1987, and his first victory came at the 1987 Missouri Open. He followed with a win at the Ben Hogan Utah Classic in 1990, and he also won two South African Sunshine Tour events that year.
John joined the PGA Tour in 1991, and he shocked the golfing world by winning the PGA Championship that same year. We say "shocked" because John was the ninth and final alternate to qualify for that event, and he only got the entry into that championship when Nick Price bowed out to be with his pregnant wife., who was about to give birth. Price's caddy (Jeff "Squeaky" Medlin) caddied for John, who didn't even get a chance to get a practice round over the difficult "Crooked Stick Golf Club course.
John fired rounds of 69-67-69-71 to give him a three-stroke victory over Bruce Lietzke. John was subsequently named as the "PGA Rookie of the Year." With this honor John became the first rookie to win a major title in his first year since Jerry Pate's victory at the U.S. Open in 1976.
John quickly became one of the most popular players on the PGA Tour, and he followed with wins at the B.C. Open in 1992, and the BellSouth Classic in 1994.
In 1995, John proved that the PGA Championship victory was no fluke when he won the British Open.
John's golf swing is easily recognizable, because like many long-drivers, John takes the driver "past parallel" to the ground on his backswing. This is an unorthodox method for most golfers; however, it generates tremendous power and thus – distance. John has won the PGA Tour's Driving Distance title a record eleven times in his career.
Aside from his prodigious power and long drives, John is known for having extremely soft hands and a deft touch in his short game around the greens.
John is recognized for his involvement in many charities; including, several in northwest Arkansas. John has donated funds to his high school, to the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America in addition to many other recognized charitable organizations.

Facts About Laser Vein Removal
Laser vein removal is a suitable and effective method for improving your appearance. However, if you haven't had this type of procedure before, you would have some apprehension beforehand. The more informed you are, the more comfortable you will be with your decision.
Here are some information that will help you prepare.
Laser technology is used in various medial operations today. When it comes to the treatment of the varicose veins, the use of the Laser technology is vital because there are only a few or no side effects.
With various tests and researches, the vein therapy specialists have developed an advanced Laser treatment system called Vasculight vein therapy. This revolutionary vein treatment option can be used to remove the spider veins from any part of the body.
Laser Treatments in Cape Town are available as a replacement for sclerotherapy or as a compliment to it. Spider veins, although not categorized as a major medical concern, may be uncomfortable for those suffering from them. They are extremely unappealing.
As a procedure for Laser Vein Removal, a light beam is pulsated onto a painful vein so that it is closed up. The vein will then fall, diminish and in brief time be gone completely. The healthier vein will manage blood flow, in essence, veins deeper inside the body to eliminate the external appearance of the condition.
After the procedure, the skin may have a reddish appearance, but this should gradually disappear within the next couple of days. To offer the person comfort during treatment, a cool gel, cool air or other methods may be used. The possibility of skin injury is also minimized when the correct cooling equipment is used. It may take several treatments before optimal results are actualized.

MomsLickTeens – Kali Roses, Reagan Foxx Panty Sniffing Stepdaughter (19.06.2018)
When perverted blonde teen Kali Roses sees her hot brunette stepmom Reagan Foxx leave her laundry unattended, she seizes her chance to grab a pair of lacy blue panties and inhale the sexy cougar's scent. But Kali got too comfortable, flicking her clit and rubbing the lace across her nipples, because she doesn't even notice Reagan returning until she catches her in the act! The hot MILF plugs Kali's mouth with the panties and metes out an over-the-knee spanking, but the horny teen still hasn't learned her lesson. Reagan gives Kali's pussy the tongue-fucking she needs, and her hot stepdaughter returns the favor with a hot 69 before they trib till they cum. Kali is definitely a panty-sniffer for life!

The operating costs of No-Flush™ urinals are only about $1.00 per 1000 uses. Drastic operating savings are achieved when compared with the rising water plus sewer costs of conventional urinals.
Substantial savings in maintenance!
Installing Waterless No-Flush™ urinals saves on:
- Flush Valve Repairs
- Waste Line Cleanouts
- Deodorizers
- Blockages
- Overuse of Water
- Overflows
- Urinal Screens
- Water Leaks
Additional savings may be realized by:
- No winterization costs
- Less water/sewer connection fees at new construction
- Less pumping fees for septic tanks
- Available rebates through your water districts
- Reduced or No Vandalism
Payback/ROI for a Waterless No-Flush™ retrofit is usually between one and three years. With ever increasing water and sewer costs, paybacks will be even faster. In new construction the savings may also include the deletion of a water feed line, flush valves and sensors.
Please contact us for your customized Savings Evaluation Worksheet. It will quickly help you calculate the savings and returns on your investment by installing Waterless No-Flush™ fixtures. All we need to know are the number of urinals in your facility, and the approximate population using those fixtures on a daily basis.
Flushing urinals now being used in your facility are costing you for water, sewer and maintenance. These costs, now allocated in your budgets, can be converted to the purchase of Waterless urinals. Your retrofit can pay its own way!

The Denby story began in a factory manufacturing stoneware bottles in 1809. Owned and managed by the Bourne family the company diversified into other stoneware products, developing their own methods for producing salt-glazed pottery. This technique involves throwing salt at the pottery during the firing process, which causes a chemical reaction between the sodium of the salt and silica in the clay. The resultant glaze is sodium silicate which is glossy, translucent and with a distinctive texture.
Not just a pretty face
All of the products designed and manufactured at the Denby pottery are created to be things of beauty. Designed to be used and handled on a daily basis, rather than being stored in a cupboard and only being brought out for 'best', every item is designed to fulfil its purpose in the most simple, functional yet decorative way.
Some pottery and china ware needs special treatment and careful handling in order to prevent cracks and breakages, but there's no need to tiptoe around any of the products created or endorsed by Denby. The stoneware is designed to take your food effortlessly from freezer to oven to table. The chinaware ranges are just as sturdy too, with all pieces microwave safe and dishwasher friendly.
A style for everyone
Denby has managed to diversify into a number of ranges, meaning that products appeal to just about everyone, from the classical home-maker to the more contemporary technology-driven household. Ranges come in plain colours or patterns and in traditional styles right through to the most contemporary designs.
You can tell that thought has gone into the design of every item in every range. From a special gravy lip to keep sauces on the plate where they belong, to the saucer designed to hold a biscuit or two, these are real designs for real people in real situations.
The country's new found interest in fine dining and presentation has led to an exciting range designed with oversize pieces in white specifically to show off your food to its very best advantage. Meanwhile, cookware is backed by an impressive ten-year guarantee, demonstrating the company's commitment to quality products designed to stay the distance.
In the current economic climate there is a move away from the 'throw away' society that we had become used to. We have a new appreciation of and desire for, products which will perform their function with style and that will withstand the knocks and bumps of normal everyday life. The owners, managers and employees at Denby pottery understand the inherent beauty of a product designed to fulfil its purpose with a sturdy elegance and endeavour to produce items of the very highest quality.
Marina Wright writes regularly on interior design for a range of home and lifestyle websites and blogs. A keen collector of porcelain for a number of years Marina has a particular interest in china, porcelain and stoneware. She still owns some Denby pieces originally given to her parents as wedding presents back in the 1960s and still in regular use – click here to find out more.

This past September I had a chance to visit Yellowstone National Park. It was a short one day trip up from Jackson Hole, WY, so we didn't have a lot of time. However, I knew I wanted to see the Grand Prismatic Springs at The Midway Geyser Basin...so that was the plan.
The night before Mother Nature dealt us a surprise...a small snow storm. While we were all excited to see the snow, we quickly found out the dark and evil side of snow. Once we went through the gates to Grand Teton National Park the ranger kindly asked where we were headed. We replied with Yellowstone...kinda in that excited voice like Clark Griswold when he would have said Wally World. The ranger told us that although the entrance to Yellowstone was open, the road to Old Faithful and Grand Prismatic Springs was closed. We decided to venture on as far as we could go. Besides, shooting all these snow covered trees wouldn't be a bad plan B.
We took our time getting there, as the roads were a bit slick and we knew what we wanted to get to wasn't open anyway. We stopped and coffee'd up and got a few snacks, we stopped at a gift shop to browse around, where we also heard more news about the road closure, and also made a few roadside stops. We finally get to the entrance gate of Yellowstone and I thought I'd ask the ranger just for giggles. She said, "The road has just been reopened, but it requires snow tires. Do you have snow tires?". To which I promptly replied "Absolutely!". The truth was, it was a rental and I had no idea what kind of tires it had....but that day, they were snow tires.
So, after all the highs and lows we finally get to the springs. Since it was snowing the weather wasn't the best for bringing out the bright, vivid colors that usually pop in your mind when you think of these places. However, we were there!
Here it is...Grand Prismatic Springs. On a snowy, cloudy, cold day in September.

Fashion is about clothes and style of course, but no outfit is complete without the proper accessories. So when we discovered Samsung S6 and its shape and colors we knew it's the perfect accessory for this summer. Green Emerald and Blue Topaz are exactly what you need for your outfits and they match the beachwear too. Right? No more boring Phones!
The high profile appearances of Samsung 's S6 have put the phones at the forefront of the fashion world, attracting attention from leading fashion media and influencers. A lot of people in the fashion industry got the device. They not only praised the beauty of the exterior design, with its dual curved edges, but also the user experience and other upgraded features such as the advanced camera functions.
But the most important thing is the glass of this gadget, Gorilla Glass 4, the most resistant on the market. It does more than being strong and ready to knock out shocks, but it makes Samsung S6 one of the most fashionable and desirable phones ever, because it acts as a mirror too. And we all love mirrors. Not only to admire your pretty face but also to get ready for the perfect selfie.

The Russian space agency suggested Monday that a foreign power may have been behind the space accident that disabled one of the country's most modern military satellites earlier this month.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
Russia on February 1 launched a high-tech Geo-IK-2 craft to help the military draw a three-dimensional map of the Earth and locate the precise positions of various targets.
News reports said the satellite was a vital part of Russia's effort to match the United States and NATO's ability to target its missiles from space.
But the craft briefly went missing after its launch only to re-emerge in a wrong orbit that left the craft unable to complete its assigned task.

Amid all the hype over Red Flags regulation, an important date slipped by me last week. Sarbanes-Oxley turned six. The sixth year may not be as significant as the fifth -- five being a typical milestone year. But I think perhaps the past year was the first since I have been covering Sarbanes-Oxley that I saw more stories saying Sarbox is working than I did stories saying it is not.
Changes made by the Securities and Exchange Commission as to how Sarbanes-Oxley section 404 is implemented and the adoption of Accounting Standard 5 by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board had a lot to do with it, I think. They shifted auditing and compliance to more principles-based processes than objective ones, and many companies have seen reduced compliance costs as a result.
On the other hand, Chase Cooper reported Monday that not much has changed in the last year. The writers have a point, to a certain extent. Sarbox compliance requirements have been delayed yet again for small public companies. Corporate whistleblowers seeking protection under Sarbanes-Oxley still don't find much. And perhaps most disturbing is the lawsuit currently before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Free Enterprise Fund and others are challenging the constitutionality of the PCAOB's structure. Chase Cooper suggests the board will be absorbed into the SEC.
Next year will have stories of its own, I'm sure. Happy belated birthday, Sarbanes-Oxley.
