Guest post by Jamie Gough, Creator, Passive Income app.
I actually stumbled across an article advertising the Melbourne Startup Weekend event and thought I would attend, not really knowing what to expect.
I went to the Startup Weekend wondering; is my idea a good one? How do I develop my idea into an application? How long will it take to develop? I was worried I didn't have all the right skills to develop my idea, insecure in the thought that it may not work.
Great pitches were presented from a range of people presenting diverse ideas. It was great to see the people presenting their pitch were passionate about their idea. Some people had been thinking about their ideas for years, others literally had developed the idea during the lead up to the pitches.
To me the technical side of development was what scared me, with no idea of what was involved, where to start and what it would cost me. Seeing the teams develop concepts and turn them into apps over a weekend gave me insight and inspiration.
I left after the Startup Weekend thinking my idea had possibilities, keen and eager after hearing past success stories that you will never know if you don't give your idea a go.
After Startup Weekend I engaged some app developers. Working with the app developers was a great experience. (Although it was difficult to get them to stick to a delivery date!) The developers were also able to help me expand my concept and create a more interactive app.
Without Startup Weekend I doubt I would have got the experience and courage to develop the idea I was mulling over and turn it into an app (http://bit.ly/sDmuTW).
Submitting the app for review was interesting, with the App review team initially rejecting the App but after one email from myself they had it loaded and for sale within 24 hours.
Now for the next phase of the journey, marketing the app, got any ideas, if so tweet me on twitter @jamie1367.
Please give me feedback on the app as I will incorporate changes into future projects – (www.passiveincomeapp.com).
You know the funny thing, I can't even utilise my own app as I am stuck in a contract with a phone that cant download iPhone apps!

Stiff Main Dial
SYMPTOM: Help! I am shut down on operation
of my MP until I can resolve the following issue. My main tuining dial has
suddenly, and I do mean suddenly - like within a period of about 20 minutes of
operation, become very! hard to tune. I do not have a Service Manual, but the
Operators Manual shows how to adjust the stiffness of tuning action. I did this
and it helped for only a short time and then the dial became very stiff once
Has anyone had this occur to them and what is the most likely cause. It looks as
if I need to take the front panel completely apart from the rear facing pc board
to get at the dial mechanism. I'm not sure how tuning is accomplished but I
assume its some sort of LED and phototransistor reading pulses from the dial.
Fred KG9X
SOLUTION: I had a similar problem. Here is
what I did.I took the knob off the front and stood the radio on its back, had it
well supported. I put a little sewing machine oil around the shaft and let the
radio stay in the upright position overnight. The next day it was as good as new
and still is. I don't have the manual here, but I am pretty sure it tells you
how to get the knob off. Tom W1TO
SOLUTION: I decided to take another look at
the task of repairing the very stiff main tuning dial last night. The original
thought was to come in from the pc board side but removing all the knobs and
taking off the front bezel is correct. I spent over an hour disassembling the
front panel to get at the control. The exact same control is used for the 2nd
VFO also, by the way. It turns out the control is some sort of magnetic unit not
LED/photo Xistor. I took the control apart figuring what do I have to lose, the
thing is useless as it is now, so if I break it ... oh well. The control came
apart very easily with just a little preying on its back cover. The problem
appears to have been grit on the shaft or in the lubricating grease during
assembly of the unit. I cleaned, polished and relubed the shaft using some
Teflon grease. The control then ran smooth. It then took about an hour to
reassemble the front panel, but everything went fine, no extra parts or anything
broken. I don't know what this says for Yaesu quality. No one has emailed me
back on this issue so far, so I guess its just a rare occurrence. I really love
the MP otherwise. I put the unit back into operation last night at about 0600Z
with my first contact being IT9AZY on 160M CW. No trouble tuning him in as condx
were great. My last contact was with ZL9CI on 80M CW at about 0900Z. I was just
about ready to call it quits as the pile-up was large and I run only the MP
barefoot, but one last try and there he was in the log. Fred KG9X
SOLUTION: 3 The adjustment spring may have
backed out, but I can't imagine how. The main VFO knob has a rubber skirt, pull
the rubber skirt off to gain access to the removal screw. Please note the
procedure is detailed in your operators manual under tension adjustment. AC5YV

GluR1: Role in the control of food uptake
anti-phospho-Ser845 and an anti-phospho-Ser831 GluR1 antibody which are available on antibodies-online.
AMPA receptors like the GluR1 play a role in transmission of synaptic signals. A recent study investigated these effects of GluR1 on food intake. A reduction of phosphorylation of GluR1 at serine 845 is shown to occur after both pharmacological and genetic manipulations of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) receptor 1.

Club E (Club Entrepreneur) is a global network that connects entrepreneurs to the financial and supportive resources they need to grow their businesses. Our members benefit from the connections with other entrepreneurs at local chapter meetings, participation in our global online networking and our inspiring, educational how-to videos.
The entrepreneurial development center is a public/private partnership with the City of College Park and was awarded a $150,000 grant from the Small Business Administration. The city leveraged the public monies to attract local businessman Bob Johnson as a private partner who could extend the resources and the reach to properly jump-start the endeavor.
According to Johnson, College Park has all the right ingredients. "It's a community that is up and coming, linked by public transit to the rest of the metro region, centrally located and adjacent to the world's busiest airport which is the greatest economic engine in the Southeast region. We think entrepreneurs will like it here, and we're going to create a great space for collaboration inside Club E so they can remain connected and be creative."
The building where Club E Atlanta is located is the building that had been home to College Park Furniture Company since 1912. When the business owner passed away, the family decided it was an opportunity for them to re-purpose the building into something of value for the citizens of College Park who had supported the business for almost 100 years.

HYC supports Hugh's Team Going to Rio!
Special Message from Commodore David Kaufman
At the April Board meeting HYC Directors enthusiastically, unanimously and proudly earmarked a $1500 HYC yacht club donation in support of Hugh Freund's Team USA One Paralympic Campaign bid for Rio and intiated a plan for Membership Fund Raising for the team as well.
Hugh is a HYC member and alumnus of our HYC Youth Sailing Program as a sailor and later as an instructor. His parents, Julie and Dan Freund are HYC members as well.
The Board also set a goal for the "membership fundraising " of $15,000.00. We hope our membership will support this target with a grass roots fund raising effort. We are determined to achieve this $15,000 goal and celebrate the membership fundraising at our Spring Opening Party, Saturday, May 14th.
In the next few short weeks we will be sending a number of communications and information updates on Hugh's Sonar racing team's progress. As you learn about this campaign I'm confident you'll feel the excitement and pride Hugh is generating at HYC.
This Paralympic bid requires a monumental effort by Hugh's team (learn more below). HYC played a large role in shaping Hugh's odyssey.
Let's help Hugh and his Team participate by providing necessary funding to keep him moving towards the finish line.
Go Hugh, Go HYC, Go Rio.
Be SURE TO WATCH " UnCharted Waters"
To "Help Them Finish" Donate:
The Team is currently accepting donations through the Windmark Sailing Foundation, a 501(c)3, in order to provide a tax credit for donors. Funds donated to the Team's campaign via Windmark are eligible for a 1:1 match up to $15k, so it is in all of our best interest to funnel donations through this foundation.

The cement maker had reported a net profit of Rs 491 crore for the same quarter last year.
The company said consolidated net sales for the quarter degrew 2.53 per cent YoY to Rs 5,709 crore, compared with Rs 5,857 crore in the year-ago quarter.
Profit before interest, tax and depreciation (PBIDT) rose 16 per cent YoY to Rs 1,378 crore against Rs 1186 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
The company said the government's thrust on developing infrastructure spending, good monsoon and development of smart cities may lead to growth in housing demand in tier I and tier II cities.
The cement maker said slower pace of new capacity addition augurs well for the industry and the company was well positioned to meet the expected demand.

April 26, 2001(DALLAS) — A special group of students knows what it means to be motivated. They study, learn and succeed every day both in the classroom and in the community. These seven students from the Dallas County Community College District — each representing the seven campuses of DCCCD — will be recognized for their efforts when they receive the Max and Rosa Goldblatt Endowment Awards in Community Service on Fri., April 26, at Eastfield College.
The students' efforts reflect Max and Rosa Goldblatt's dedication to community service and, in keeping with that theme, motivational speaker and author Stedman Graham will share his tips for success with a number of area high school and college students that afternoon. The workshop will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. in Building F (Eastfield's performance hall); the college is located at 3737 Motley Drive in Mesquite.
The Goldblatt scholarships will be awarded during a ceremony and luncheon for invited guests from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in room C-135 at Eastfield College. During the program, Graham will talk to the scholarship recipients; following the reception, he will host his free motivational workshop for other students. The seven scholarship recipients are: Audrey Atwater of Garland, Brookhaven College; LaTasha Brown of Cedar Hill, Mountain View College; Terry Gary of Irving, North Lake College; Antong Lucky of Dallas, El Centro College; Phoung Luu of Dallas, Richland College; Emmet Pitts of Dallas, Cedar Valley College; and Sherly Zachariah of Mesquite, Eastfield College.
The scholarship is given annually to DCCCD students who show leadership in volunteer and community service work. Each awardee receives a $600 scholarship ($300 per semester) from the DCCCD Foundation, which administers the Goldblatt scholarship endowment. The seven DCCCD students receiving Goldblatt scholarships have been involved in community service projects, such as mentoring young school children; therapeutic riding for the handicapped; volunteering for area hospitals, the Red Cross and the Dallas Halfway House; gang intervention; helping with read-a-thons; tutoring; helping in nursing homes; and service through JROTC, churches and other organizations.
The scholarship was established in 1986 to honor the late Max and Rosa Goldblatt, who both served as former Dallas leaders and longtime supporters of DCCCD. Max Goldblatt served three terms as a Dallas city councilman and played a major role in the creation of DCCCD (then the Dallas County Junior College District). Rosa Goldblatt was involved in many community service projects and, together, the couple inspired their children to continue that tradition of service to others.
Dr. Joe Goldblatt believes in the tradition that he learned from his parents, and he believes that Graham's experiences will inspire the scholarship recipients to continue their efforts in community service. "Stedman Graham is an excellent role model for the Goldblatt recipients, as well as a role model for all students and alumni of the Dallas County Community College District," he said. Dr. Goldblatt is one of the speaker's personal friends and co-authored The Ultimate Guide to Sport Event Management and Marketing with him.
Dr. Goldblatt added, "He has overcome great challenges in his life to build a reputation earned through self-determination, education, honesty and integrity — values that are imbedded in the Goldblatt scholarship recipients. I think it is only natural that he would be selected as the first distinguished speaker for this prestigious program."
Graham, author of You Can Make It Happen: A Nine-Step Plan for Success, has appeared on several popular television talk shows, including Oprah. A nationally known speaker and lecturer, he has delivered messages based on his precepts from two other books, You Can Make It Happen and Build Your Own Life Brand, to more than 100 corporations, colleges, universities, high schools and non-profit organizations. His clients include the U.S. Department of Education, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and the U.S. Olympic Committee. He is chairman and CEO of S. Graham and Associates, an education-based company that creates customized corporate training and leadership development programs for organizations in both the public and private sectors.
Graham also is an adjunct professor with the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University; an adjunct professor at the University of Illinois; a distinguished visiting professor at Coker College (S.C.); and a visiting professor at George Washington University, where he founded and directed its Forum for Sport and Event Management and Marketing — the first program of its kind in the U.S. He also has founded the Leadership Institute of Chicago, a nonprofit education and research organization dedicated to promoting effective leadership in the community; and is founder and executive director of Athletes Against Drugs, an organization of athletes and civic leaders committed to developing leadership among youth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I Prevent Frozen Water Pipes?
Six tips to help prevent frozen water pipes:
- Wrap interior water pipes that are near outside walls
- Disconnect all garden hoses from outside and garage faucets
- Open cabinet doors below sinks
- Insulate unheated areas of your home
- Keep the thermostat set at 68 degrees or higher
- During long cold spells, allow faucets to run lightly to keep water moving and continue this until a thermometer held in the running water reads above 38 degrees.
How do I reserve Merrill Gardens for an event?
The Marion Water Department expends water revenue funds to maintain the beautiful flower beds and grounds at Merrill Gardens located at 152 7th Avenue. Many small weddings occur there every year as well as senior portrait opportunities.
We gladly accept donations for the upkeep of the gardens. Donations can be made at the Marion Water Department Office at 1225 6th Avenue.
To reserve Merrill Gardens for an event, please complete a reservation form. Reservations must be made in person at the Water Dept. Office in the City Hall Building, 1225 6th Ave, Ste 150. See reservation form for more information.
What is the hardness of Marion water?Between 18-20 grains per gallon
Where can I find information regarding irrigation meters?
A second meter may be installed for the purpose of separate metering of outside water use. Read our Irrigation Meter Policy Statement for details.
Who is responsible for water service lines?
Marion Water Department (MWD) provides water to its customers and maintains the water mains required to deliver water to homes and businesses. MWD also owns the water meter used to measure how much water a customer uses.The property owner is responsible for the connection (tap) to the water main and the piping (service line) that carries the water from the water main to the water meter. The property owner is also responsible to protect and provide access to the water meter. When a problem occurs, MWD will assist the property owner in determining the cause of the problem and the appropriate course of action.
What is a stop box?The stop box is used to turn the water service on and off to a property. It is usually located in the public right-of-way. MWD requires that the stop box (curb stop) be operable at all times. The property owner owns the stop box and is responsible for its maintenance.
How does the stop box operate?To operate the stop box, a key is placed inside the housing and lowered onto the operating rod that is connected to the underground stop box (curb stop) to turn the water service on or off.
Why is the stop box operated?MWD operates the stop box to turn the water on or to turn the water off:
- When a customer pays a final bill
- For internal plumbing repairs
- When a service leak becomes hazardous
- When a customer fails to pay the bill
- When does the stop box need to be repaired?
- When the stop is too high or too low. The top of the stop box should be level with the ground.
- When the stop box is located under concrete or asphalt and is not accessible
- When the valve does not operate
- When the housing becomes bent and the key cannot be lowered into the valve
- When the rod is loose and does not connect to the valve
Who will make repairs to a stop box?MWD does not make plumbing repairs. The property owner will be notified by mail to have the repairs made. We recommend that a licensed plumber be hired to make the repairs. If the repairs are not made, MWD will either hire a plumber to do the repair or do the repair themselves and bill the cost to the customer.
How much will it cost to repair a stop box?The cost will depend on the work required to make the repair.
What if my service line starts to leak?Please call MDW (319) 743-6310 if you see water leaking. Our representative will assist in determining the location of the leak. Sometimes this is difficult because water follows the path of least resistance and does not always come to the surface near the leak. You will be notified to contact a licensed plumber to repair the leak. Click Here for more tips
What if my service line starts to leak and water is not coming to the surface?During our routine survey of the water distribution system, leaks are sometimes found that do not come to the surface. Once MWD determines the location of the leak, you will be notified to contact a licensed plumber to repair the leak.
Who is responsible for the water meter?The water meter is owned by the MWD. It is usually located in the basement. The property owner is responsible for protecting the meter from freezing temperatures and providing access to the meter and meter reading system 24 hours a day.
Why is my water bill higher than normal?If you have a high water bill and do not know why, call MWD. A representative will come to your home to assist in determining the cause. In most cases, high water usage is caused by a leaking faucet, malfunctioning water softener, furnace humidifier, ice maker, or toilet. We recommend that you make these repairs to reduce the wasted consumption on your monthly bill. If you need assistance, please call (319) 743-6310.
How do I flush my water heater?
Draining a water heater can help make it more efficient at heating water. It may also help extend the service life. Before draining, turn the water heater off and let the water cool for several hours. Then shut off the supply of water to the heater so it doesn't refill as you drain it. Refer to the How To Instructions for more information.
What do I look for in high-efficiency products?By making just a few small changes to your daily routine, you can save a significant amount of water, which will help you save money and preserve water supplies for future generations. Water-efficient plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems provide the same performance and quality you've come to expect, but with the added benefit of water savings. The WaterSense label will help you identify high-efficiency products and programs for certified irrigation professionals. Click Here for More Information
Does the City have a Water Conservation Plan?
In order to protect the health and safety of our community water supply, Marion and Cedar Rapids have created a comprehensive Water Conservation Plan to address potential water shortages due to drought conditions or equipment failure. Please refer to the plan for more information. Or, view the Water Conservation Summary Sheet for condensed information.
What is the purpose of hydrant flushing?
Employees of the Marion Water Department flush the water system annually, usually during April and May. Flushing will occur between the hours of 8:00 am and 2:00 am the next morning. Marion residents may notice some temporary discoloration of the water following flushing in your area, and should postpone laundry until it clears. Use of hot water should also be minimized if redness is noticed to prevent build-up within the water heater. The rusty color is due to accumulation of iron sediment in the water mains and is not harmful. The purpose of the flushing is to remove the sediment from the mains, and to exercise and check operation of the City's fire hydrants.
Questions may be directed to the water department at 743-6310 or by email.

Garcia Palazon family started working in agriculture with Atilano Garcia at the beginning of the 20th century.
His love and dedication for the agriculture made his sons, Jose Vicente and Antonio García, continue with their father's devotion.
After many years of searching to rekindle his dream, they find the estate. El moralejo is an estate which, along centuries has been related to viticulture. Its biggest potential is its altitude, inasmuch as it gets to reach 1050 meters of altitude above the sea level, in a unique enclave in full nature.
If they had something clear in their minds was this Project would be in high altitude vineyards, where the freshness of the summer and its thermal range between day and night would give the unique character which nowadays can be recognised in all our still and sparkling wines. Without losing sight of the altitude, which will always be favourable to us, since global warming is a very present factor and with overtime foresee to change the world outlook of the viticulture.
It is a fact that the family did at that time, nowadays is a trend, coming ahead of time, and every day it is more common to see in the media famous producers acquiring high altitude vineyards looking for the freshness.
All that was a revolution in those days, as it was turning our backs on the accepted rules, carrying the banner for the challenge of elaborating at the same exigence level as the best houses of Champagne, in a peculiar area, however, because of its altitude, all indicated we were on the right track.
Were then when Jose Vicente and Antonio started a fruitful collaboration with Herve Jestin, famous oenologist born in Epernay, France, with experience in the big houses of Champagne.
Nowadays, nobody can deny the potential of the Bodegal Balmoral's vineyards, since its still and sparkling wines have made a place for themselves in more than 25 countries in which they are commercialized, besides the numerous recognitions rewarding the effort and the know how.
This is a result of the principles which are championed by the winery, such as the respect for the environment using ecological treatments in the vines, the pursuit of perfection with a high level of self demanding and especially with the unconditional work of the family who spends all its time and effort in the growing and the improvement of the winery.

I am often asked why I belong to many different communities of dancers. The truth is I cannot imagine leaving any of the groups I am affiliated with. My life would not be nearly as rich if I did not have all these dancing friends in my life. I love my clogging teammates. We have been together for a long time (off and on for almost twenty years). We have traveled, competed, and performed as a team. I am beyond fond of the ladies I have danced with at my church, (past and present). And I feel blessed to have danced with hundreds of sacred dancers over the years, from California to Ottawa.
I see dance as many things including, but not limited to, physical and mental exercise. So for people who ask me why I love to dance so much, these elements are easily understood. But sometimes it is not as easily understood why I prefer to dance in community with other dancers, especially in the worship experience of sacred dance.
Although I have seen, and participated in, solo work as a dancer, I am most fulfilled when entering into the sacred space created with others while moving prayers and worship. I am always keenly aware of the family-like atmosphere permeating the world of sacred dance. But the reason I crave, and am fed by, community has never been clearer to me than when I participated in a one-day event with the National Sacred Dance Guild in Ottawa this past August.
We were women and men from two countries, many states and providences, all denominations, all ages, all dance abilities and training, and different ethnicities. How can a short time together create a lasting bond and a longing to be back together at the next SDG festival or event? By all logical laws this would measure as unlikely. But for the sacred dancer, there is a deep spiritual need to express meaning in movement. Along with eagerness to accept one and other, it is not hard to see the formation of a foundation for life-long connection.
I cannot say there was one particular dance I enjoyed more than others. But I can say that in a park, on a cloudy Sunday morning in Ottawa, we did a movement piece that brought me into a deeper understanding of why dance within community is vital to the health of my soul.
Each dancer was given a long string of clear beads. As the music began, a group of ladies moved with their beads extended over their heads, in front of them, to their side, or dragging on the ground. They danced slowly around the circle at first and then invited others to join. We moved with the beaded strings, independent of one another, for only a short while. Then we each extended one end to another dancer. Through the rest of the piece we moved in, out, and among the newly created formation. We let go of and took up continuing connections with each other. In the middle of the dance my mind registered this profound truth.
Here was both a pure definition of community and an explanation for need to be part of one. That is not expressed or understood by words, for me. It is seen by the heart, expressed through the eyes, felt in the touch of another, and fueled by the movement of souls that know, just know, we are all beings who belong to each other. This, my dear dancing and non-dancing friends, is why community.
May we move in beauty and connectedness as we celebrate our diversity and embrace our sameness.

Marnie's 2017 Holiday Gift Guide
BY: Marnie Oursler
Can you believe the holidays are here again? It seems like not too long ago that I was paddling out for waves and digging my toes into the sand, and yet here we are, swapping flip-flops for boots and surfboards for sleds. And if you're anything like me, you probably haven't gotten very far on your Christmas shopping yet. But no fear! Below I've pulled together my annual holiday gift guide to help you find the perfect gift for every special someone on your list.
1. Striped cotton pouf with handle: Floor pillows and poufs are an easy, no-fuss solution to extra seating during the holidays (and all year long!). Tossed on the floor or piled in a corner, this striped pouf looks good no matter where it is.
2. Pave halo studs: These glitzy earrings are just the right amount of feminine to add a little something special to any outfit. Take jeans and a tee to new heights or pile some extra sparkle onto your favorite black dress with these go-with-anything studs.
3. Gemstone iPhone case: Between filming episodes of Big Beach Builds and visiting client job sites, my phone is always on the move with me – and always getting banged up. I need a cover that protects my phone, but also looks good, and this stone-inspired beauty does both.
4. Tile anything finder: If you're the type of person who would lose your head if it wasn't attached to your neck, the Tile anything finder is for you. This little gadget syncs with your phone and attaches to keys, wallets – anything! – to help you find the things you misplace the most.
5. Braving the Wilderness: Brené Brown is endlessly inspiring, and her newest book about belonging, community, and being true to yourself is no exception. Buy one for a friend and one for yourself.
6. Pom pom hat: Cute, warm, and cruelty-free? This faux fur pom beanie ticks every box. Perfect for the slopes, running errands, or a night on the town, this will be your go-to hat all winter long.
7. Maple syrup and bell pitcher gift set: Christmastime always makes me think of Vermont – snowy hills, red barns, majestic pines, and of course, rich maple syrup. Give a taste of Vermont to your loved ones with this beautiful maple syrup and handmade bell pitcher gift set (great for teachers and neighbors!).
8. Little America backpack: The right backpack looks just as good in the school hallways as it does on the city streets. I love this quilted version that offers lots of luxe and plenty of room to carry everything you need to tackle the day.
1. Basketweave marled faux fur pom pom throw: Throws are the easiest way to add instant warmth to your home, and this throw has the cozy factor on lockdown: basketweave, faux fur, AND pom poms. This home must-have will make anyone on your list happy!
2. Canoe adventure paddle: I love decorating walls with objects as well as art, and this graphics paddle is both. But the best part is that for every product sold, United By Blue removes one pound of trash from our planet's oceans and waterways.
3. National park stripe crew socks: If you love homes and interiors, chances are you've seen this iconic Pendleton print on many a blanket. Inspired by Glacier National Park, now you can take the pattern – and the American pride – wherever you go (while keeping your feet toasty!).
4. Iridescent jar candle: A pretty candle can finish any vignette – top a pile of books on a table, place next to a frame with a beloved family photo, or tuck into simply styled shelf. This sparkly version comes in a variety of scents, from Spiced Cider to Fir & Firewood, but my favorite, naturally, is Coastal.
5. 'She believed she could' cuff: Mantras are so important to keeping us focused and positive when the going gets tough. Engraved with "She believed she could, so she did," this cuff makes a powerful gift for the strong girls and women in your life.

5. Oceanscape painting: I've been a big fan of Alison Junda for a while now, and have even used her work in my clients' homes. Her deft hand, eye for color, and talent for texture and composition brings the coast and all its aesthetic pleasures to life wherever her artwork finds a home.
6. Delaware shaped cutting board: State pride meets craftsmanship with these beautiful state-shaped cutting boards. Gift them to a friend who lives and breaths for the home team, or a homesick relative who's moved away and craves a reminder of their roots.

One of the first exercises I tackled when I started writing was to create my own obituary. The point of the exercise was to get me to think about what I wanted to accomplish with my writing. Why was I writing? How did I want to be remembered? What kind of stories did I want to leave behind? That was many years ago and I wish I had kept the exercise because I can't remember what I wrote. I'm sure I wrote something like "her books are entertaining and character driven" because I always wanted to see my books on the same shelf as Charles Dickens.
This may be a depressing topic for the month of December when things are festive and people are thinking about Christmas, but because it is the end of the year, it is a good time to reassess goals accomplished, and maybe set some new ones.
I'd like to share a story about my friend Mary Inman. Mary joined the Twin Falls Chapter of the Idaho Writers League back in the early 1990s, about the time I left my job at the bank to pursue writing full time. Mary was one of those interesting characters who had more ideas and experiences to recount than she had hours in the day. She was health conscious and walked everywhere she could. She was usually bubbling with energy and ideas. Always interested in life and history, Mary created Gramma Maudie, and from her rocking chair gave many presentations about life on the Oregon Trail. Mary organized walking tours of the original Twin Falls Village, and wrote a book about Twin Falls, Idaho, called Twin Falls Centurybook, 1904-2004.
Not only was Mary interested in history; she was also interested in conserving the planet. She started a xeriscaping club that met once a week at the Twin Falls city council chambers. She did all the legwork, sent out notices, arranged for knowledgeable speakers, organized fieldtrips to the South Hills to view native plants, and xeriscaped her yard to set an example.
Mary was the kind of person who wasn't afraid to take a canoe down the river alone, or sleep in her car. Instead of shying away from strangers and "No," she'd extend her hand and ask, "Do you have my book yet?" She was positive, full of energy, and probably had no idea how many lives she touched.
Mary Jane Inman died October 27, 2010, at her home. She was 82. At her request, her body was cremated and her ashes were scattered. Also at her request, no service was held, nor did an obituary run in the local paper. She was a pleasure to know, and I will miss her.
As 2010 draws to an end, take time to reflect on what you stand for. You don't have to write an obituary, but it would be a good time to determine what you have to say, and what you want to leave behind.
Like my friend Mary, I want to be remembered for making a difference. I want to create characters that live long after my demise. I want readers to ponder my poetry after the books are closed and put away.
What would you like people to say about you when you are gone? Decide how you want to be remembered, and then get busy and do the things that will make it happen.
-Bonnie Dodge

By Brent Kendall
20 June 2017
The Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission on Monday said it would file an antitrust lawsuit that seeks to block the proposed merger of fantasy sports companies DraftKings Inc. and FanDuel Inc., alleging the deal would harm consumers who play daily fantasy contests.
The rival companies each offer daily games in which consumers pay to assemble virtual sports teams made up of real athletes that do battle against other virtual teams. The "managers" of winning teams that amass the best statistics take home cash prizes. The companies make money through entry fees.
The five-member FTC is currently short-handed, with only two sitting commissioners, one Republican and one Democrat. Both supported the lawsuit. The state of California and District of Columbia are joining with the FTC to challenge the merger.
The commission argues the merger would deprive customers of substantial benefits that are produced by DraftKings and FanDuel competing against one another for business.
"We are disappointed by this decision and continue to believe that a merger is in the best interests of our players, our companies, our employees and the fantasy sports industry," the companies said in a joint statement. "We are considering all our options at this time."
When they announced the merger in November, the CEOs of the two privately held companies, DraftKings' Jason Robins and FanDuel's Nigel Eccles, said combining the companies would allow them to innovate more by freeing up money. That, they said, would further efforts to entice more players of season-long fantasy sports leagues and more fans in general to play on their sites.
A few years ago, daily fantasy sports was one of the country's hottest businesses. It allows players to draft virtual teams that typically compete against one another in a single day, rather than over an entire season as with traditional fantasy leagues. The industry was once forecast to hit $18 billion in revenue by 2021. That forecast has been slashed — as of late last year standing at around $5.3 billion by 2021 — reflecting in part greater-than-expected user burnout and the loss of entire markets because of state regulations.
Several state attorneys general have launched regulatory and legal probes, saying the sites violate state gambling laws. The companies, which deny any wrongdoing, have also faced civil lawsuits from consumers, as well as investigations by the Justice Department. The companies have lobbied heavily to try to persuade state legislatures to explicitly legalize the activity.
DraftKings and FanDuel account for the vast majority of daily fantasy sports players, which they estimate to number around five million. An attorney for FanDuel said when the deal was announced that he expected it to undergo an antitrust review. He argued that daily sites are one part of a broader fantasy sports universe that includes season-long leagues.
The FTC said Monday that season-long sports leagues wouldn't preserve competition because consumers of paid daily fantasy sports are unlikely to view the season-long contests as a meaningful substitute.
