text: alini 122 Posted June 13, 2015 The unit slides in pretty easy for me. My concern is where to mount it at. Using their supplied brackets wont work, Im going to be making my own. The two at the dash side seem easy enough I can mount them to the dash runners, its the one on the firewall side Im puzzled by. Im thinking self tapping screw into the base of the cowl, rather then popping a hole in my flat firewall. Having a lonely bolt in the middle of the firewall would just look weird, sorry if that sounds OCD (it is) Can one of you guys confirm that the cover by the fan/fittings comes off and stays off? Im assuming thats only for shipping? The instructions call out removing it but I dont see it being put back on anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NAMSS 40th Educational Conference & Exhibition
"Optimizing Defining Moments" e-Posters
The NAMSS Conference Committee is proud to continue the e-Poster initiative at the NAMSS 40th Educational Conference & Exhibition. This year's conference theme, "Leadership in Action: Optimizing Defining Moments," will also serve as the main theme for the e-Poster presentations.
A NAMSS "Optimizing Defining Moments" e-Poster abstract may be submitted on a wide variety of topics related to the theme. For example, an abstract may focus on a professional experience in which a Medical Services Professional (MSP) optimized a strategy or process to increase efficiency or to address a difficult challenge.
An abstract could also take a more personal focus on a defining moment, describing an experience in the life of an MSP that prompted a changed perspective and allowed for him or her to shine as a leader. As Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
The purpose of the e-Poster initiative is to highlight examples of how MSPs across the country, at any level of their career, can be leaders and help to foster growth and opportunity in their organization. By sharing individual experiences, others can gain insight and find new ways to optimize their own defining moments.
Example topics include (but are not limited to) issues related to:
The e-Poster Abstract Submission Process is closed for 2016.

During the January 15—19 stretch I took advantage of the free days to go to the Shedd Aquarium right on Museum Campus. The next round of free days won't be until February 5th through the 9th. I recommend acquiring the tickets online so that there is no hassle, confusion, or wait upon entering any of the museums. When I went to the Shedd they can simply scan the barcode of the ticket on my phone. It has been years since I visited the Adler Planetarium or Field Museum so I will make it a priority to swing by when February comes.

Chennai Super Kings 136 for 6 (Hussey 50, Vijay 35, Kreusch 3-19) beat Warriors 126 for 8 (Jacobs 32, Ashwin 3-24)
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
It's not often that both contestants of a sporting encounter celebrate at the end of a match. That strange sight was on offer in Port Elizabeth after Chennai Super Kings prevailed over Warriors in a tense league match, paving the way for both teams to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League Twenty20 at the expense of Victoria.
Chennai's chances seemed to have evaporated when they stumbled to 136 after choosing to bat in a must-win match, but on a spin-friendly track their strategy of packing the team with slow bowlers paid off as they tenaciously defended that total to set up an all-IPL semi-final against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Durban.
Briefly, midway through the chase, it looked as though an IPL team would break the hearts of the home crowd for the second day in a row but it was the Chennai fans who faced some panicky moments when Justin Kreusch and Mark Boucher revived the Warriors with a 44-run fourth-wicket stand.
Two Boucher sixes off Shadab Jakati left Warriors needing a gettable 32 off three overs with seven wickets remaining and two set batsmen at the crease. Chennai's edginess was shown by Muttiah Muralitharan's tirade at S Badrinath after a run-out chance was muffled following some kamikaze running between the wickets in the 16th over.
R Ashwin, battered in the Super Over against Victoria, then returned to virtually ensure David Hussey's side will be returning home early. His carrom ball worked to perfection in the 18th over, foxing both Kreusch and Boucher, to swing the game Chennai's way, though a four in between raised the biggest cheer of the day as it confirmed Warriors' qualification - they needed 109 to seal a place in the final four. Chennai's key bowlers, Doug Bollinger and Murali, then held their nerve against Warriors' non-specialist batsmen to preserve their team's 100% record of progressing from the league phase of every tournament they have played in so far.
Victoria would never have felt more confident of making the semi-finals than when Warriors captain Davy Jacobs was batting in his usual thrill-a-minute style to power the chase of a seemingly inadequate target early on. Jacobs survived in the second over when the ball rolled off his bat onto the stumps and Warriors confidently progressed to 38 for 1 in the Powerplays, but Chennai clawed back after that.
Shadab Jakati and Murali choked the runs, before Jacobs fell to a well-judged overhead catch from Michael Hussey at deep midwicket. Three overs later, Suresh Raina's magic arm earned a wicket with his third delivery to further slow down the home team. In seven overs after the Powerplays, Warriors made only 28 and lost two major wickets, pushing the asking rate to double digits. The game then tilted the Warriors' way before Ashwin's intervention proved decisive.
Chennai's bowlers saved the blushes of a highly rated batting unit, which struggled against a disciplined home side. Warriors have five bowlers with international experience in their line-up but it was the sixth, medium-pacer Kreusch, who made the biggest impact. His no-frills wicket-to-wicket bowling fetched him three wickets and ruined the platform Chennai's openers, Hussey and M Vijay, had constructed.
The other impressive Warriors bowler was Johan Botha, one of the tournament's most economical, who again handcuffed the opposition and dismissed Hussey in the 14th over, one ball after he reached his half-century, to change the course of the innings. From what was a potentially threatening 94 for 2, Chennai could only scrape 20 runs in the next five overs, when they should have been launching an all-out attack.
Chennai's openers had made a rock-solid start, setting up their side for what should have been a far more challenging target. Vijay was the dominant partner in a 63-run stand. Hussey was more circumspect early on, knocking the singles around - his first stroke of aggression as in the fifth over, charging down and lofting Lonwabo Tsotsobe towards long-on. A powerful reverse-sweep for four followed off Nicky Boje, before he started peppering his favourite midwicket region. There were only two dot balls in his final 21 deliveries.
His dismissal, however, sandwiching those of Raina and S Badrinath to Kreusch, derailed Chennai. They got going again only in the 19th over, when MS Dhoni clubbed 17 runs off Tsotsobe, including a giant six over midwicket. In a low-scoring encounter, 136 proved enough.
The result was a hard pill to swallow for Victoria, who are eliminated despite losing only one match in the tournament.

Today was a great, well-spent day where I got to run my errands and best of all, didn't have to go to work. (OK, so I took leave). Anyway,Mocha had to go to the groomers and so did his mummy.
And where else would I head to but Salon De Choix, conveniently located at Winsland House 1. If you are driving, then you can park at the Orchard Central car park which offers one of the cheapest parking fees in town.
Some camhoring before heading to the salon…
I just had my hair colored a month back and the roots ain't really showing. So I settled for a head massage & hair treatment today. The head massage included a treatment for sensitive scalp. All these chemical treatments like dyeing my hair have left my scalp rather red, angry-looking and ultra sensitive, so it was time to give it some good old loving. While the hair treatment nourished my tresses so that they were smooth and healthy-looking again.
Check out the products used…
The massage was so pampering, I nearly dozed off. After the massage from the hair oil with rose extract, I had my hair washed. And the massage that followed during the hair wash was so relaxing, I think I did really fall asleep for awhile.
The shampoo used (pictured above) was also specially suited for sensitive scalp. After the wash, I had a solution sprayed onto my scalp to soothe it. This was followed by the hair treatment with the Mythic Oil (as shown above). Then followed by a 2nd hair wash to rinse off.
Finishing up, I had my hair styled into lovely curls, complete with the sweet-smelling Kerastase Elixir Ultime serum.
Another self-pix while making my way back to the carpark
Oooh I'm so loving my temp curls 😛 It looks good even in a side pony tail.
Wanna try out the treatment I had? Or planning to change your hair style? Why not try Salon De Choix and get 15% off their hair services when you mention my name CHARLOTTE or just say you got to know about them through A BEAUTY AFFAIR blog if you can't pronounce my name.
Salon De Choix, it's located at 3 Killiney Road #01-06 Winsland House 1. Their shop is just after the carpark entrance to Winsland House 1. My stylist is Miss Elein.
Or you could go to App Stores to download their app – just search for "Salon De Choix"
After installing it onto your smart phone, you can register via the app. Make bookings via this app to get 15% off! If it is your birthday month, you get an additional 20% off! How cool is that!?

With a five-year survival rate of less than 10 percent, pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of this disease in the United States. While only an estimated 49,000 people each year contract the disease, nearly 40,000 die from it annually. Considered a silent killer, this disease often presents with no symptoms at its onset. This disconcerting fact can make early detection quite difficult, often closing the window on effective medical interventions.
As pancreatic cancer-related deaths climb in the United States, the disease is on track to surpass breast cancer as the third leading cause of deaths in the United States. Researchers also believe that pancreatic cancer will soon become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. If that happens, it will only be topped by lung cancer.
The reasons for pancreatic cancer's rise in attributed deaths are many. The lack of early onset symptoms is one of them. This disease also happens to lack an early detection test, such as those available for breast and prostate cancer. Add to these issues the overall vagueness of symptoms when symptoms do arise and it's a recipe for disaster when it comes to providing early interventions.
While pancreatic cancer makes a grim climb to the top of the death charts, researchers are working around the clock to halt those numbers. Breakthroughs in potential testing and treatment have been reported across the globe and potential advancements are under study. In the meantime, nonprofit organizations are also working around the clock to gain funding to help keep research moving forward and to help those diagnosed in their struggles.
People who are unsure of their risks for pancreatic cancer are urged to discuss the topic with their healthcare providers. Such factors as family history, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, age, ethnicity and obesity may all play a role in this disease's development.

Managing time and getting results on Facebook is a balancing act that so many small businesses struggle to get right every day.
The secret to real success on Facebook is the processes and the tools that you use to manage your time and measure your efforts.
In this post I am going to share with you three epic tools that are either totally free or very cost effective and promise to help you get better results with your Facebook marketing.
#1 AgoraPulse Barometer Tool
Worried about your reach and engagement? You are not alone, as this is something over 76% of small businesses struggle with.
Understanding what impacts (on what I call secondary metrics) your reach and engagement will help you to make better-informed decisions about where to place your focus.
Agorapulse have a really cool free tool called the Facebook barometer tool. If you get confused by all the options within Facebook insights, running a report using the barometer tool will save you time and show you what you need to work on.
To use the tool all you will be asked to add the Facebook page that you want to measure.
Once you have added the page, it takes a few minutes to synchronize before you get an overview of your page results.
Agorapulse takes out the guesswork and will benchmark your page against over 9,000 pages that they have in their database. This means you are now benchmarking your page against "REAL" and very active Facebook pages.
The report above shows you a number of metrics:
• Fans Reached
• Engagement
• People Talking About
• Negative Feedback
• Viral Reach
• Organic Reach
Your results are on the top in black and the page averages are shown in orange. Now you know the areas of your page that need work.
The page above is performing well but there is always room for improvement.
#2 Canva
Struggle to get Facebook design work done? If you are like most small business owners the budget for design is either tight or totally non-existent.
Using visual content in 2015 is absolutely necessary and will guarantee you more engagement from fans on Facebook.
Canva is a free design tool for businesses looking to make their content pop in the newsfeed. You don't have to be an expert designer, Canva make it really easy with their design school, blog and amazing user stream.
There are a few main features to be aware of:
• Design School
• Social Media Templates
• Custom Dimension Options
• Stream
• Your Designs
Take the time to explore these areas and get the basics of visual content right from the start.
Use Canva to create thumb-stopping graphics that will compel your fans to click through to read your posts or take your desired action.
#3 Postplanner
Looking for content that will go viral on Facebook? Sounds like an unrealistic promise?
One of my favourite Facebook tools of all time is Postplanner and if you use it too, expect amazing results.
Using this tool is going to be like having a team of ninja content creators in your business.
Postplanner is an app that sit's within your Facebook apps menu.
When you access it, there are three options:
• Viral Photos
• Top Content
• Status Ideas
The viral photos option is the one that excites me the most. You can choose from hundreds of pages in the Postplanner database or add other pages to monitor.
Curate and create ideas from the viral photos option and watch your engagement skyrocket.
After one week sharing viral visual content using Postplanner this new Facebook page has seen significant improvements across the board.
With a fan count of 200, this page is reaching 1,849 people.
Word of WARNING! I refer to the metrics above as "secondary Facebook metrics" they are a nice to have and will help to increase your visibility in the newsfeed.
Using a combination of these tools every day will save you time and tell you how you're performing.
Your Turn
Have you tried these tools? What kind of results are you getting?

Recovering from ovarian cancer surgery
3-minute read
Many women with ovarian cancer will have major surgery. A woman will usually stay in hospital for up to a week after surgery for ovarian cancer. After surgery, the site of the surgery will feel sore but pain can be controlled. Pain relief is usually given through an epidural, rectal suppositories or patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), which enables the woman to control the level of pain medicine given. Medicine levels can be changed if needed to help control the pain. It will be uncomfortable to move around at first but getting out of bed and walking a little bit can also help to relieve the pain caused by wind (gas) in the abdomen.
There are some things that should be avoided after surgery to give the body a chance to recover. Some general tips are given below:
- Avoid lifting heavy things for about six weeks to allow the body to heal. It's a good idea to leave tasks such as vacuuming or cleaning to someone else until you feel able to do them. If you live alone or need assistance with work around the house this may be able to be arranged.
- Avoid driving a car until given clearance to do so by a doctor.
- Sexual intercourse is usually best avoided for about six weeks. Discuss this with the doctor or treatment team.
The recovery time will depend on the type of surgery, whether or not postoperative problems developed, and what type of work you will return to.
It is normal to feel weak, tired and a little down after surgery for ovarian cancer. Give yourself time to feel better. If you feel you need to talk to someone, you can call the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20.
Younger women who have both ovaries removed as part of surgery, will no longer have periods after surgery. This will lead to menopause and may result in menopausal symptoms. Women who have their uterus removed but still have one ovary will no longer have periods but will not get menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes. You may decide to take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to control your symptoms. There is no reason why you cannot take HRT after your ovarian cancer treatment. Your doctor will be able to help you decide what's best for you.
Follow-up after treatment
After your course of treatment has finished you will be invited for regular check-ups, usually every two to three months to begin with. At the check-up your doctor will examine you. They may do blood tests or scans to see how your cancer is responding to treatment.

Deploying your Jekyll Site to S3 with Travis CI
13 August 2013 by Mathias Meyer
I admit it, I got stung by the urge of not having to maintain my own servers anymore. For simple websites like this one, it's become a dreadful task.
This site is built using Jekyll, I started using it very early on, even had my custom fork with some fixes and improvements. That part started to get annoying. My fork was very outdated, and I really just had a couple of patches around that, in the meantime and in one way or the other, had made it into Jekyll's releases.
So I decided to take the plunge and stop hosting this site myself and put it on S3. Why Mathias, you'll ask, why didn't you just use GitHub Pages?
I have some custom plugins and custom patches in place, for instance to create pages for single tags, and I didn't want to rip out all that. GitHub Pages unfortunately doesn't allow you to install custom plugin, which is of course understandable from a security perspective. wordpress.com imposes the same restriction on you.
Another option is to deploy generated content to GitHub Pages by adding and committing to git, but I haven't been happy with the increasing delays imposed by the CDN in front of GitHub Pages lately.
So I turned to my old friend S3. It's gotten some neat features to simplify using it as a hosting platform over the years, like root document support, redirects, built-in content delivery network, lots of good stuff.
Local host is local most?
One options is to deploy directly from my own machine, but that'd deploy all the local changes I have (and I do have some occasionally), so it'd never really be a clean slate.
Travis CI to the rescue! This little feat also makes me eat my own dog food, working on Travis CI myself.
Even with a Jekyll site, deploying the content follows the simple pattern of installing dependencies and building the site.
With the code always coming from GitHub, I could be sure that the deployed state would always correspond to what's currently checked in.
First order of business: activate the repository on Travis CI, login required.
Go to your profile, and turn on the repository. This enables the service hook on GitHub, and all subsequent commits will be sent to Travis CI for instant building.
Continuous Synchronization
To deploy your site, you'll need a few libraries, most importantly, jekyll.
There's a nice little tool called
"s3_website", which synchronizes
a static site with S3. It even supports Jekyll and its static content in the
_site directory, neat!
Here's the Gemfile:
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem 'jekyll'
gem 's3_website'
gem 'redcarpet'
I've added Redcarpet too, as it's currently the best Markdown engine available for Ruby. It's been serving me well for the Riak Handbook too!
s3_website needs a configuration file. You can create a default using
s3_website cfg create.
Here's the one I use to deploy this very site:
s3_id: <%= ENV['S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'] %>
s3_secret: <%= ENV['S3_SECRET_KEY'] %>
s3_bucket: www.paperplanes.de
"public/*": 6000
"*": 300
s3_endpoint: us-east-1
s3_reduced_redundancy: true
concurrency_level: 100
Note that the bucket needs to exist before you're getting started. I recommend naming it after your website, based on the domain people use to access it.
As you can then configure CNAME entries for site that points it to the bucket, and S3 does automatic resolution of the right bucket for you.
The build and deployment process
The .travis.yml required to tell Travis CI is succinct and simple:
language: ruby
- 1.9.3
script: bundle exec jekyll build
install: bundle install
after_success: bundle exec s3_website push --headless
The language used is Ruby, and we're sticking to 1.9.3.
script section defines the command to run to build the code, in this case
jekyll build which builds the site and generates the static result in the
_site folder.
install section is customized to prevent Bundler from running with the
--deployment flag, which is the default for projects with a Gemfile.lock.
Unfortunately it leads to strange errors generating the site.
The last and most important bit is the code that ships the site to S3.
s3_website push synchronizes the static output with S3, only uploading files
that have changed. This last bit is very neat, as it keeps the whole sync
process nice and short.
Secure credentials
The last puzzle piece is the question of how to get those S3 credentials securely into Travis CI without exposing them to the public.
The access keys are defined as environment variables in the configuration, so we just need a way to have them set up for our build on Travis CI.
For this bit, you need the
travis gem installed. Best to add it to your
Gemfile. Travis CI has a feature called "secure environment
that allow you to encrypt sensitive data in your .travis.yml to avoid exposing
it to the public.
I'd recommend creating a separate user on Amazon IAM for this purpose, with restricted permissions only for the bucket you're deploying too. You'll need most permissions available, including listing, fetching and deleting objects.
When you have the credentials, run the following commands in your project's
directory. The
travis tool will automatically look up the encryption keys for
you on Travis CI.
$ travis encrypt S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=ASASK... --add env.global
$ travis encrypt S3_SECRET_KEY=sshhhhh... --add env.global
These commands add the environment variables to your .travis.yml. Add the file to git, and push the changes to GitHub.
Now watch your blog be automatically deployed while also making sure the content builds correctly.
This article about deploying your Jekyll site to S3 with Travis CI was automatically deployed to S3 with Travis CI. Did that just blow your mind?

Message from the Mayor (November 20, 2019)
Please be advised that a contractor for the Water Company will be milling and paving the trenches on Main Street starting Wednesday evening, and over the next several evenings. The contractor intends on milling and paving the areas milled on the same evening. Please be advised that Main Street will be closed from 8pm to 6am in the area of the work. Please plan accordingly and avoid the area if possible, or follow the detour in effect. I understand this is an inconvenience, but repairing our roadways before winter is a necessity.
Message from the Mayor (November 14, 2019)
Earlier today, Mayor Damiano met with NJ American Water to discuss the road conditions on Main Street in Little Falls which occurred as a result of the installation of the new Water Main (between Paterson Ave and Lower Notch Road). After walking the entire length of the roadwork, and after some discussion, NJ American Water has agreed to mill and pave (with topcoat asphalt) the entire length of the trench work (approximately 6 inches wider on each side) as a temporary solution to get through the winter. NJ American Water is hopeful that this work can be completed as soon as next week, dependent upon the contractor's availability and the weather conditions. This work will be completed in the evening but should be completed within just a few days. As more information becomes available and the work is confirmed with the contractor, additional information including road closures will be provided.
Once the spring arrives, the entire roadway will be repaved from curb to curb. Additional information will be provided in the spring regarding the timing of the milling and paving.
James Belford Damiano
-Mayor, Township of Little Falls
January 22, 2018
First and foremost, I would like to thank the residents of this great Town for providing me with the opportunity to serve as your Mayor. This is easily one of the highest personal honors that I have ever had.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Councilman Chris Vancheri and Councilwoman Tanya Seber on the success of their election this year, and I wish them well as they serve their term - the residents of Little Falls have chosen wisely. I would also like to congratulate Councilman Anthony Sgobba on his selection to serve as Council President. I would also like to acknowledge Councilman Bill Liess, who brings years of supervisory and financial background to this Council, as well as Councilwoman Maria Cordonnier for her endless hours of work that she spends making this Town the best place to live. This Council works tirelessly, day in and day out, on behalf of all of the taxpayers in this Town. I would first like to acknowledge all of their accomplishments over this past year, and discuss some of the things that we have to look forward to in the year ahead.
Over the next several minutes I hope that everyone will humor me as I present my first State of the Township.
I am proud to announce that in 2017, after close review of the budget, this Council and I were able to reduce spending for the municipality, while setting aside an additional $500,000 for improvements to our Town Center. Unfortunately, due to poor planning of prior administrations, the revenue streams that the township had previously become accustomed to no longer existed, and taxes had to be slightly increased, resulting in an increase of approximately $5 per month on the average home in Little Falls.
It is my goal over the next several years to continue to reduce costs and expenses incurred by the municipality, while continuing to provide the same, or better services to our residents.
Over this past year, there have been an incredible number of accomplishments here in Little Falls. Let's face it; while many of us LOVE this Town, it can use a modernization, and continuing to strengthen the curb appeal in Little Falls is one of my primary goals. In 2017 we launched our new and improved website which launched just a few weeks ago. While we continue to make improvements to the site daily, it is just the beginning of Township's modernization.
We have revised our outdated Ordinances which now permit minor Municipal Court Violations to be paid online, rather than requiring individuals to appear in Court, missing a day's work, just to pay a minor parking ticket. Again, just one of the many ways this Council and I are looking to modernize this Town.
This year, for the first time in Little Falls, we have also successfully introduced our online payment of everyone's favorite thing, Taxes, by ECheck to assist our residents with an instant, and hassle free payment of their taxes right from the convenience of their home.
This Council and I also remain dedicated to our promise of Transparency, and have reinstated the second public comment portion of meetings, which now allows residents two separate opportunities to address this governing body with questions. We have also reinstated two meetings per month throughout the entire year to ensure that municipal business is completed as efficiently, and effectively as possible.
I am pleased to report that in 2017, both the Teamsters and PBA contracts have been settled, both of which come at a substantial savings per future employee to the Little Falls Taxpayer.
The Little Falls Debt Service was down $400,000 in 2017 due to the renegotiation of our previous bonds, while the Assessed value of the Township was up almost $7 Million in 2017, and up an additional $16.5 Million dollars as we head into 2018, the first increases the Town has seen in almost 10 years. This mean the Town continues to grow despite all of the houses having previously been demolished.
I am also happy to report that this year, an engineering firm was retained to perform a structural study on the site of the former municipal building, after sitting vacant for the past 10 years.
The Township has also engaged a new Joint Insurance Fund, which provides better coverage, and now includes environmental and most importantly, cyber coverage, especially in light of all of the recent cyber-attacks.
We have also partnered with our businesses who have expressed concerns over the parking issues in our Town Center. This Council has instituted 3 hour parking in the Town Center, and is looking to move towards metered parking so that residents and customers alike do not take the Town Center Parking spaces in the front of our stores for extended periods of time, causing harm to our businesses. We have also persisted in addressing our Town Center parking by entering into negotiations with PNC Bank and Verizon to acquire their property to create additional parking for our Town Center.
In 2017, the Township has continued its partnership with the Clifton Health Department who continue to provide exceptional health and animal services to our Residents.
With respect to safety – the council finalized the truck route ordinance, which will require transient trucks to stay off of many of our local and county roads.
We have also installed most of our State of the Art flood gauges along the Peckman River which will not only monitor storms as they occur, but will assist in predicting the severity of the anticipated storms so that we can properly, and effectively advise the residents of how to ensure their, and their families safety.
In the upcoming months with the warmer weather ahead, soon Duva field will be displaying its new, state of the art LED athletic lights which will not only more adequately light the fields, but will do so at a cost savings to the town with the new LED lighting. This project was largely funded with grants from Passaic County Open Space Trust Fund dollars, which this council and I will continue to pursue to assist in providing upgrades and improvements to our parks and open space, at no increased cost to the taxpayer.
The Council also approved lighting upgrades with state of the art LED lights throughout Wilmore Park so that Summer Concerts will have some additional light in the early evening, and to enhance the Morris Canal Greenway that runs parallel with the park.
Inwood Field has also recently seen a complete makeover, which it was in such desperate need of, and has been improved to a point where baseball and softball games can actually be enjoyed by both the players and the fans.
In 2017, the Township has continued its road resurfacing program, which was previously suspended under prior administrations, allowing our roads to fall into disrepair. This Council and I are dedicated to ensuring that our damaged roads are repaved, and that our infrastructure does not fail us.
This year, the Township has also seen the first of many anticipated redevelopment projects that will assist in bringing the curb appeal back to Little Falls, and moving forward with the modernization of our streets and our landscape.
With respect to our Police Department, we have continued to diligently work on our accreditation. Becoming an accredited department means that the Township can soon look forward to reduced insurance costs, in addition to a reduced liability. This is achieved by performing continuous research and adopting policies which will assist in best preventing and defending the potential for future lawsuits.
In 2017, the Police Department also introduced its first ever Junior Police Academy, which lasted five days, and provided the children of our community with educational and exciting insight into how Police Officers spend their hours on the job.
The Police Department has also continued its efforts with Community Policing, and the Township now has one full time Community Policing Officer. The success of this program can easily be measured by new and continuously improving partnerships that have been formed with the youth, schools, seniors, and businesses throughout the community, and these relationships will continue to grow in 2018.
By way of statistics, in 2017, the Little Falls Police Department traveled 145,044 miles. To put that into perspective, that's enough miles to travel around the earth 6 times. They have made 619 arrests, issued 4,705 summonses, responded to 967 crashes, made 138 DWI arrests, walked through our schools on 386 occasions, and checked our parks 1,251 times. Just an incredible job by our Police Department.
In 2017, the Fire Department has also continued its Full Time Paid EMS Service, which has substantially reduced response times for our Emergency Medical Responders. Previously, response times were often upwards of fifteen to twenty minutes, and have even been as long as forty-five minutes. When the issue is a matter of life and death, that is entirely unacceptable, and since the implementation of our full time paid EMS, response times average well below the five minute mark.
In an effort to ensure that our residents remain as safe as possible, the Township purchased two new ambulances in a package deal with Paterson which greatly reduced the cost of each ambulance due to the large quantity ordered.
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Chief Jack Sweezy, as I am proud to announce that The State of New Jersey has recognized Little Falls' Paid EMS program, and recently announced that municipalities throughout the State should utilize Little Falls as a template on how to effectively commence a full time paid EMS program.
While we have had much success in 2017, there have also been some shortfalls; for example, the Street Scape application where we requested Federal Funds to improve our Town Center was rejected. Rather than beat ourselves up, this Council and I have learned from our letdowns, and have continued to research how to maximize the possibility of receiving funds in 2018. We will actively pursue a new grant in 2018 with the hopes of receiving funding.
Finally, after two years, I was able to have a meeting with NJTransit to discuss our Transit Village application which was submitted in October 2015. While I am frustrated that it took two years to schedule a meeting, I am hopeful that the results of that meeting will be telling as to its success and the completeness of the application submitted. This Council and I will continue to pursue the Transit Village designation that this Township so rightfully deserves.
The Council and I have also learned the need to better communicate with residents of projects that will directly affect their homes and properties. While I am active on Facebook, I acknowledge that many residents are not, and sometimes the good ole hand delivered letter is the best way to advise residents of the towns' doings that may affect their homes, and I vow to adapt to resident comments and concerns.
In the year ahead – the Township has many things to look forward to, the first of which is the final round of home buyouts in our flood prone areas. The remaining homes which were approved dating back to the SRL 2015 program will be demolished. This will allow for a complete plan to be formulated for future improvements to Louis Street Park, and will permit adequate parking in close proximity to the field. The Council and I will pursue funding for improvements to Louis Street Park so that it becomes a more viable field for all sports and extracurricular activities.
Speaking of our flood prone properties, this Council and I remain dedicated to ensuring that any action that can be taken to minimize flooding will be, and within the next several months, Little Falls, along with Woodland Park and Totowa, yes, I said Woodland Park AND Totowa, will work together to memorialize the new and improved Passaic Valley Regional Flood Board so that flooding issues pertaining to both the Peckman AND the Passaic Rivers can be spearheaded in an effort to minimize, and god willing eliminate the possibility of flooding once and for all.
In 2018, I look forward to continuing to improve our parks, civic center, and recreation facilities by installing modern audio systems at Duva Field, the Recreation Center, Wilmore Park, and the Civic Center. No more will a bingo number be missed by our Senior Citizens at the Civic Center. No more will our Star Spangled Banner be played at our recreation facilities with people not paying our Flag the respect it deserves, not because they are intentionally doing so, but because they cannot hear the song playing over the inadequate speakers.
This Council and I will also address the heat issues at the Recreation Center, and install an Air Conditioning system there to provide cooling during the warm months for our sports and camp programs.
I am also excited to announce that this Council has approved a new Grant Writing Firm that will work full time to secure grants for Little Falls. I have already discussed with them new and exciting grants over and above the regular run of the mill grants such as fully funded electric car charging stations for our municipal lots, in addition to so many more.
I look forward to working with the Grant Writers to secure funding to assist our Township in making strides to become more ADA accessible as we continue on our theme of modernization.
I am proud to announce that no longer will residents put out their cardboard on the fifth Wednesday of the month without it being picked up, because this year, recycling will be picked up every single Wednesday on an alternating business – the best part, this comes at no increased cost to the taxpayer. Better services, without any additional burden on the taxpayers.
This Council and I will continue to ensure the safety of our residents, as soon as tonight, where this Council will vote to introduce a speed limit Ordinance which will reduce the speeds on our busiest streets, which border all of our school districts, to 25 MPH. The safety of the residents always remains in the forefront of our minds.
With respect to our Police Department - in response to the increased traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian, I am happy to announce that starting just this year, the Township now has a full time traffic officer whose sole job is to monitor and address traffic, parking, and pedestrian safety issues. Not only will this make Little Falls a safer place to live, but it will also generate revenues for the township, at no additional cost to the taxpayer.
The Police Department will also be extending the Junior Police Academy to 10 days to allow for more children to participate based upon its tremendous success in 2017.
As many of you may recall, the Police Department purchased Tasers in its 2017 calendar year budget. The Department is also currently concluding its Taser training and awaiting confirmation from the Prosecutors Office to become the first department in Passaic County permitted to carry Tasers.
I am also excited to announce that our Police Department will be Going Green in 2018, based upon a fuel savings study conducted by the Chief in 2017. The results were impressive, so much so that the Chief has instituted a "no idle" policy in 2018, and has properly fit the vehicles with batteries capable of maintaining all of the vehicles electronics for extended periods of time. It is anticipated that fuel usage will be cut nearly in half, resulting in both a cost savings to the Township, as well as a reduction of pollutants being released into the air.
I would like to thank Chief Post for all of his hard work and dedication to this Township and this Police Department, as well as all of our officers who come to work each day to keep us safe.
In 2018, I also look forward to continued smart and appropriate redevelopment which will assist the Township in generating additional revenues which we are so desperately in need of after suffering the loss of what will likely total upwards of 140 homes, while minimizing the burden on our schools. This redevelopment will not only relieve some of the tax burden from the existing taxpayers, but it will stimulate our local economy and our local businesses, bringing the buzz back to our Town Center and the streets of Little Falls that we so desperately desire.
I would like to take this opportunity to publically thank all of the employees of this Township who work so hard each and every day to keep this Town up and running. I would also like to thank all of the First Responders, not only in Little Falls, but in this County and State.
Finally, I want to thank all of you for placing your trust in me, for without your trust I would not have had the privilege of sitting here before all of you today.
I believe that leadership is more than just good management. It is more than staying true to yourself. It requires inspiration, creativeness, and most importantly, trust. For this town to be a better place to live when I am done serving as Mayor, I believe that my leadership requires me to conjure participation from all around me, larger than the job description.
As I have stated in the past, if you ever have any issues, no matter how big or small, no matter day or night, I invite you to contact me by phone, email, text, Facebook, or even Snapchat for the new generation.
I hope I have made everyone proud of the 2017 that we have all had here in Little Falls, and I look forward to continuing to serve as your Mayor in 2018.
Thank You.

Bailey authored the widely acclaimed "Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture" (1947), where he stated, "What the apple is among the fruits, what the oak is among the broadleaved trees of the temperate zone, the pines represent among the conifers, excelling all other genera in this most important family in number of species, in field of distribution, in extent of area occupied, in usefulness and importance to the human race." The pine trees' long history speaks of species perseverance and survival, with their beginnings dating back to ancient forests.
The Origin of Pinus species
The oldest fossils from the pine group came from trees that grew in the time when dinosaurs roamed the earth over 90 million years ago. The oldest known living pine, the Bristlecone Pine, is estimated to be over 4600 years old. It is located on a dry cliff in Inyo National Forest in California.
Pine Tree Distribution
The Pinus species grows naturally and abundantly throughout the Northern Hemisphere, from the Arctic Circle to Central America, and in China, South Africa, and Europe. The trees' survival comes from its ability to grow in dry, lean soils, to survive in cold winter temps at higher altitudes, and due to its natural adaptation to arid or tropical (high elevations) climes. There are over 120 Pinus species spread throughout the world, with over 30 species being native to North America.
Pine Trees of the Past
Pine trees are the source of Native American legends, who used the pines for shelter, fire, tools, building and for food. The Eastern White Pine greeted the first settlers. The forests of the day were not the heavy tree growth stands we have now. Rather, the pines were spaced far apart and adjoined wide open areas (savannas). Fires were rampant (every 15 to 20 years), occurring naturally or accidentally. Consequently, the young trees succumbed to the fire, leaving the oldest and most fire-resistant varieties standing.
Uses of Pines
The mature pine trees were favored by the settlers for building homes, heating, cooking and later for lumbering and timbering enterprises. The practice of harvesting and processing pine sap into turpentine spirits surged in the 1800's, furthering human impact on the history of pine trees. The frequency of fires, the increase in settlements across the nation, a flourishing timber industry and use of pine tree bi-products affected the species numbers, the maturity of the forest and diminished the size of the pine tree stands.
Present Day Pines
Present day pine tree forests are a much more diverse forest than in the early settlement years. Now there are many different pine species mixed with other broadleaved trees, with an increased number of varied genuses of understory plants. There are more young pine trees intermingled with lesser mature trees. Pine trees are now available in all sorts of varieties, cultivars and grafted types, making them suitable for planting in residential settings. Advanced propagation technologies made it possible for pine trees to be marketed and planted in the Southern Hemisphere in Australia, South America, New Zealand, and South Africa. The history of the pine tree continues to be ever changing and now that the species is grown world wide, its story will be as diverse as the regions it grows in.

Lies Never Last Forever. One way or another the truth always comes out. Sometimes I wonder how do people sit and lie to you just like that so naturally. Do they actually practice it before hand or they are just natural liars. Yes it does come from genes but does it have to be that way.
Lying to the people you love is never a good route or option. It may take days, weeks, months and even years but your lies will be found out one way or another. I always hear people say I lied because i didn't want to hurt him or her. Doesn't it add up to the same thing in the long run. It hurts the same and maybe even worst. Wasn't the best option to be truthful in the first place.
You may think your protecting someone you love by lying but the truth is you are causing them more hurt in the long run. Why stay in a relationship if you are gonna always have to be lying. If you are confronted by your partner, friend or family member about something, it's better you tell the truth than lying. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord.
Trust is like an eraser once its gone you can never get it back and even if you do, it will never be the same. Never betray someones trust by lying to them. The truth may hurt and it may even burn and give a reaction you would never expect. The truth may hurt for a while but the lies will last forever so make the right choice.
Keeping secrets and lying in your relationship is never the answer. Those secrets and lies will catch up to you one day. You may think one lie won't hurt but one lie can destroy your entire life. It can drive your life into the ground. It can drive your relationship or marriage in the ground. Secrets and Lies Never Last Forever the one lie can let all your truths be questionable. Whether or not you were ever telling the truth.
No one deserve to being lied to. I implore you to never lie to the ones you love. It is better you fester up the courage and tell the truth. Let them decide whether or not the situation is forgivable or unforgivable. Never use lying as your option or your way out of a situation because it never pays and Lies Never Last Forever. When you may think it's all peace and safety it will creep up and destroy you when least expect it.
Before I go I leave you with something to think about. The worst lie you can ever tell is lying to yourself.

Fundamental Factors that Drive Forex Trading Towards Positive Outcomes
You may consider various currencies for forex trading. While comparing one currency with another, you must consider multiple political and economic factors that seem relevant to the fundamental analysis for forecasting trading rates. All items associated with each of the currencies will be reviewed by the fundamental analyst on a regular basis. A right forecast can be delivered when the two are compared in the right way. Usually, such forecasts deliver the bigger directional picture for your chosen pair of currencies instead of projecting a certain objective number.
Whenever the forex market gains some fresh fundamental information all of a sudden, it suggests certain volatility of the market besides its moves. This information is reason enough influence the traders. Till a quality assimilation of the fresh information is performed, all assumptions concerning your technical analysis are segregated. The market moves are usually influenced by certain fundamental factors when you find a few important technical indicators supporting the trading system. This in turn should yield desired outcomes when systems used for trading are dependent on your technical analysis.
In order to derive a fast assessment on the future directions, it's important to catch the effects of all basic information. It really helps a trader to know all of these effects.
Primary Fundamental Information Types
The following factors are taken into account while determining data items that affect the nation's currency fundamentally –
Growth: Alterations in the GDP of the nation that will provide an effective measure of expansion. A currency gets strengthened by a growing economy.
Trade: Forex rates may be influenced by the balance of current account of a country and its trade. Currency of the country will be depreciated by the deficits of its current or trade account.
Rates: Forex rates are affected by the level of interest rates in the short term like the rate of Federal Funds within the currency's place of origin. The currency gets empowered by the investment incentive yielded by the higher rates.
Economy: Forex rates are affected by the relative economic outlook of one nation in comparison to another. When compared with the less stable nations, currencies are more valued in the forex market of peaceful nations that show a stable political and economical scenario. Countries that are less stable economically may have to bear security threats from more powerful nations.
Major Economic Factors
Forex traders hold different positions for various currency pairs. For these currency pairs, they will perform a regular review of economic calendars. They perform it as such disclosure of information may cause a fragile currency market and project movements within the market. You must read through the suggestions of the market experts in order to study the market movements in great details. Industry experts belonging to trading groups like fibo group share their expertise over marketing magazines and forums periodically.

EU urges global deal on airline pollution
The EU on Tuesday urged nations to accept a compromise on plans to curb airline carbon emissions at a key UN conference, though resistance to striking an overall deal remains fierce.
"We believe a solution is now in sight," said the spokeswoman for EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas.
Kallas was set to make a plea for an EU-led pollution-cutting scheme later Wednesday at the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) in Montreal, the UN agency that sets global aviation standards.
"A truly global deal is long overdue and the world justifiably expects an agreement," the spokeswoman said.
But several nations—including the United States, India and China—have balked at a global emissions scheme for airlines and fought fiercely against a 2012 plan launched by Brussels that threatened to tip into a trade war.
Under the EU's ill-fated arrangement, airlines flying in EU airspace were required to buy pollution credits to cover 15 percent of their CO2 emissions for the entire flight, wherever it originated.
But 26 of the ICAO's 36 members opposed the move, saying the levy violated international law.
At the time, plane maker Airbus, plus half a dozen major European airlines, warned that the tax could cost them billions of dollars in lost orders and business and lead to the loss of the thousands of jobs.
Faced with the storm of criticism, last year the EU suspended its CO2 Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) for intercontinental flights, saying it wanted to give all sides more time to reach a global accord.
In suspending its programme, the Commission on Tuesday said it had done its part to "avoid a trade war" and that it was now up to other countries to do their part.
A European source said earlier this month that the EU is ready to compromise over its tax if opponents, led by the United States and China, apply a similar levy by 2016.
In the new offer, airlines would be subject to the EU tax only for the portion of flights that pass through European airspace.
In the runup to the conference, on Monday the International Air Transport Association warned that a piecemeal approach to battling aircraft carbon emissions could lead to trade feuds.
But IATA general manager Tony Tyler said he was "optimistic" that countries will come together on a plan.

As an elementary school teacher, an education of the heart means delving deeper than the child's grade point average and benchmark proficiency. On a small scale, this can include their favorite color, recess games and after school activities. Even more powerful is knowing what their family life is like and their ever-changing hopes and dreams for their future. Though all this seems to make an already demanding job even more challenging it actually profoundly aids in classroom management while promoting higher level learning that will last beyond their years in your classroom. Children are very intuitive and know innately whether a teacher sees them as a student or as an individual; the ladder being greatly empowering.

Pets and people are family
People love their pets, and there are many, many pets out there. The 2017-18 National Pet Owners Survey by the American Pet Products Association found that 68% of households – that's nearly 85 million of them – have a pet.
And yet, there are still many places where having a pet at home is a challenge. Many apartments and condos have rules prohibiting pets or making restrictions based on size, age or type of pet.
One of the most common reason people give for surrendering pets to shelters is that they can't have their pet with them where they plan to live.
As part of Mars Petcare US's BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ initiative, we hope to help make the case for pet-friendly residential communities and help show the housing industry the value of pet ownership.
Not just pet ownership…RESPONSIBLE pet ownership
A critical step in encouraging more apartments and condos to allow pets is ensuring that those who have pets understand and follow responsible pet ownership practices.
That's why as another element of our BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ initiative, we're working to develop educational materials that can help teach pet owners the dos and don'ts that will help their pet succeed.
Examples include reinforcing the importance of cleaning up after one's pet, helping pet owners learn to socialize pets to improve interactions with others, and encouraging positive training to deal with any challenges along the way.

This day will forever go down as one of the best days of my entire life.
This particular lagoon where you'll see a lot of the pics at, was hands down the most beautiful place I have ever seen.
Ill never forget turning the corner and seeing this circle of tall green fuzzy cliffs surrounding the bluest crystal clear water and all of us in the boat just going nooooooo wayyyyyyyyy.. this is unreal….
The pictures don't even do it justice..
We all jumped off the boat and swam with the neon fish, everyone got sliced feet from the coral except me cuz I was the only one who looked nerdy and brought water shoes haha.
Its crazy because above the water you'll see some fish here and there but then you go under the water and realize there are 9 million fish right there next to you!! We fed them bread so they swarmed us for the whole photo shoot it was incredible.
This was my first time ever ever shooting underwater. The camera housing I used was super intense and heavy but luckily I can tread water for like a hundred hours so It was a lot of fun just shooting and playing and learning how to do it. I'd dive down all the way to the coral floor and then as I swam up I'd capture the model swimming by or diving in. gosh it was incredible. Id to anything to go back to that moment again….
This swim line is called the "Smudge Collection" and it just dropped over at Albion Fit so go check it out!!!

2 Tips To Protect Your Transparent Braces From Discoloration
While braces are commonly seen in young children and teenagers, adults may need to get braces later on in life in order to fix a crooked smile. Wearing braces as an adult can feel unappealing to many people. In order to solve this issue, transparent braces are designed to help blend in with the rest of your teeth These braces are made out of ceramic instead of metal, which can then be made transparent. This makes wearing braces not as obvious but can also result in discoloration. Once your transparent braces become stained or discolored, they will stand out much more. Luckily, there are a few measures that you can take in order to prevent discoloration while wearing transparent braces.
Avoid Drinking Dark Colored Beverages
It is often recommended by dentists to stay away from dark colored beverages like soda and coffee in order to prevent staining and discoloration to your natural teeth. This same rule should be applied when wearing transparent braces. Your braces can stain almost as easily as your natural teeth. The transparent areas of your braces will soak up the color of your favorite soda or coffee. Before long, you will be dealing with braces that have turned into an off-brown color. If you find it difficult to remove dark beverages from your diet altogether, then you can minimize the number of times you consume these drinks. The less contact that these beverages have with your braces, the less potential damage they may end up causing.
Avoid Smoking During this Time
Smoking can also have the same negative effect on your transparent braces that drinking dark beverages can. The nicotine and tar that are present in cigarettes change the color of your teeth to a yellow or brownish color. This same discoloration can contaminate your braces. Therefore, once you get your braces installed, is important to stop smoking while you wear them. Avoiding smoking during this time will not only help to preserve the look of your braces, but it will help to promote a healthier mouth and body. Since quitting cold turkey can be extremely difficult, you can try to give up the habit a few months before getting your braces to ensure that you are able to abstain once they are installed.
Dealing with discoloration on your transparent braces can be embarrassing; therefore, use these tips to ensure that your braces remain unstained. Contact a company like Pine Lake Dental Group for more information.
