Welcome to Uganda! You will be met at the airport by an english speaking guide and transferred from Entebbe international airport to your Kampala hotel.
The elegant Serena Hotels continuously outdoes itself, and its location in Kampala, Uganda, is no exception. With rich green foliage framing the hotel's façade, each of the 152 rooms look out on the 17 acres of garden or allow yourself to grow mesmerized by the 7m waterfall on the pool terrace. The hotel's rooms each have an individual personality, working with cultural artifacts, native wood carving, and contemporary Ugandan design at its foundation. Dining is a fluttery, fairytale-like medley of bursting flavors and delights, from freshly squeezed exotic juices to Italian cuisine and of course, very impressive world cuisine. Make sure to stop by the Maisha Health Club and try out the skin treatments. Revered across Kampala, it is relied on by all who trust in the Serena Hotels name.
Transfer Kapala to the Lake Mburo National Park driving south westwards stopping at the Mpigi Drum Makers where you will watch the ceremonial drums being crafted using methods passed down through generations. Another stop at the equator to take photographs. Passing through papyrus swamps and tracts of tropical rainforests and the rolling plains of Ankole, continue on to Lake Mburo National Park.
Head out on your private game drive through Lake Mburo National Park. The park has different routes or "tracks" for game drives that allow you to explore the grasslands, water habitat, and hills of this park. Explore the Zebra track for views of: Burchell's zebra (Equus burchelli) and other species like bushbucks, oribi and reedbucks. Then continue to Ruroko track: a drive through a wetland basin and thick acacia shrub and woodland, with olive trees and euphorbia species. Kopjes (rock outcrops) found along the Ruroko track, are home to elusive klipspringers to which the rock is the best habitat.
Your park fees are included for this day.
Mihingo Lodge is a quiet and luxurious retreat adjacent to Lake Mburo National Park. The Lodge has ten rooms which are built on wooden platforms and stilts, covered by a thatched roof. Suspended under the thatched roof is a spacious and comfortable tent equipped with en-suite bathrooms, including hot and cold running water, showers, and flush toilets. Each luxury tented room is nestled on a private piece of the lodge's property, enabling guests to enjoy the tranquil environment in complete seclusion. Placed in varied settings, some rooms are situated in a forest setting, some with a lake view, and some on rock outcrops.
After an early morning game drive we depart for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The park derives its name from its thick vegetation with an immense variety of evergreen trees, festooned with lianas, epiphytes, which reach great heights in their search for sunlight plus half of the world's population of mountain gorillas.
In the afternoon, enjoy some time on your own to relax.
The Gorilla Forest Camp is a luxury tented camp centered in the deep and steamy rainforest of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The park is host to around half of the world's endangered mountain gorilla population. The 8 double tents offered by the camp are ideal quarters for those looking to track gorillas. The camp offers all the facilities of home, plus more. Décor is intricate weavings and hand carvings, with a personality for each room. Tents have romantic en-suites looking out on the forest, with bathtubs raised on little feet. Dining can be taken outside or indoors under candle light, with fires built on some evenings. Service and cuisine is top notch, with many giving in to indulgence. Others take part in nature walks and birding, and of course, gorilla tracking.
Wake up very early and depart with a picnic lunch to track the rare Mountain Gorillas (hiking boots required). The tracking may take between 5 and 8 hours. The Park Guides with you interpret the flora and fauna and the lifestyle of the Gorillas. Return in the evening for dinner and overnight at the lodge. Only persons age 15 and over are allowed to track the gorillas.
Travel today between Bwindi and Parc National des Volcans by private car and english speaking driver. Please note that there are delays due to road construction, expect the transfer to take 2 hours longer till August 2013 when the construction is expected to be over.
Enjoy a box lunch while you travel (included in tour price).
The Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is conveniently placed at the feet of the Virungas, the striking volcano mountains through which so many hike in order to catch a glimpse of mountain gorillas. The 8 cottages and suites are structured so as to give guests the most all-encompassing view, promising privacy, a vast countryside, and beautifully decorated quarters. Dining is a similarly pleasing experience, with a variety of fare meeting the standards of even the most discerning traveler. Staff here are extremely helpful, all possessing a very caring nature, and a willingness to assist guests. Besides visiting the famed mountain gorillas, be sure to check out the local marketplaces and find out more about local community projects.
The Park des Volcanoes is located in the Virunga Mountains, a magnificent chain of dormant volcanoes in the North of the country, and home to the world´s last surviving mountain Gorilla populations, currently a mere 700 individuals. A full day trek with your guide through the park is a reasonably strenuous activity which can last the morning or all day as you seek out the gorilla families. Viewing time is limited to one hour, and only 8 maximum are allowed per group. Visitors are asked to maintain a distance of 7m (about 22 feet) from the gorillas. Kids under age 15, or people sick with a cold, flu or other contagious illness, are not allowed to visit the gorillas.
Travel today between Kigali and Parc National des Volcans by private car and english speaking driver.
Your guide will take you out on an excursion through Kigali today. Visit some of the popular market places before heading out to a location of heart aching cultural history. The Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre was opened on the 10th Anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide, in April 2004. The Centre is built on a site where an estimated 250,000 people we`re buried. The Centre is serves as a permanent memorial to the victim of the genocide and serves as a place where people can grieve those that they have lost. One of the principle reasons for the Centres existence is to provide educational information regarding the genocide. Rwandans believe that it is extremely important for the younger generations to be able to have access to a place where they can learn about the reasons and affects of the genocide. The Centre includes three permanent exhibitions, the largest of which documents the genocide in 1994. There is also a children's memorial, and an exhibition on the history of genocidal violence around the world. The Education Centre, Memorial Gardens and National Documentation Centre of the Genocide all contribute to a meaningful tribute to those who perished, and form a powerful educational tool for the next generation.
A private vehicle will provide a transfer between the airport and hotel.

Xan Hood's small clothing company relies on seven workers -- but not a single one is on his full-time payroll.
He's got two artists, two accountants, a photographer, a web consultant and a customer service representative -- and they are all freelancers.
If they were on Hood's payroll, their combined salary would probably have cost him $300,000 last year. Instead, he paid closer to $30,000.
His cash-strapped startup, Buffalo Jackson in Charlotte, N.C., doesn't need them working full-time. At this point, there just isn't enough work to do.
"We need to be efficient and resourceful with the little we have," Hood said.
Relying on freelancers saves him time and money in all sorts of ways. There's less government paperwork. He doesn't have to pay the federal payroll tax that funds Social Security and Medicare, 7.7 percent of workers' wages.
And there are no worries about North Carolina's unemployment insurance rate, which ranges between 1.2 percent and 6.8 percent of employee salaries. Even with just a few employees, these taxes can quickly add up to thousands of dollars a year.
"That's how we've kept our company lean and mean," Hood said. "I'm watching every dollar coming in or out of the company."
Buffalo Jackson, which designs clothes and contracts with manufacturers to produce them, is expanding quickly and might make $1 million in revenue this year. But Hood, who pays himself a small salary, still says his enterprise is in "survival mode."
Buffalo Jackson is part of the boom in temporary work. After all, why take on the cost and risk of hiring an employee if you can get one without strings attached?

Covington's new gourmet burger joint wants to sucker punch you with their array of burger styles and graphic novel motifs. Located in the Wedding District across the street from the Madison Theater, this hip eatery deserves a visit whether or not it's a show night.
The mood: Keeping with the comic book theme, blue, yellow and red graced three walls with a yellow lightning bolt cutting down the middle of the azure wall. One wall was plastered with comic panels featuring sounds like "choom kroom doom" and "wham." For dining in, there's four tables and a long counter facing a mirrored wall plus two outdoor tables.
The food: It's counter service here so we perused the menu featuring 14 different styles of burgers. Here's how it works. Pick a protein patty: beef, turkey or black bean, then choose a wheat or brioche bun or get it bunless as a salad.
The multitude of burgers options seriously stumped me. They have a Kalifornia (avocado, salsa, sprouts, garlic yogurt spread), egg and green chile, curry chutney, an Italian with pizza sauce and Aufiderzein (grilled sauerkraut, Swiss, mustard), and really, you can't go wrong with any combination.
Adam immediately ordered the Supercuban on wheat (beef patty, smoked ham, provolone, Swiss and mustard). For $9.95, you get one side, so Adam chose jambalaya.
I decided on a black bean burger with fried green tomatoes, pepper jack cheese and lettuce as a salad, ideal considering I usually only eat what's between the bun anyway.
A few minutes later, our food arrived piping hot. Adam's burger was piled high and my salad was layered with lettuce, the burger, the tomatoes and smothered in cheesy goodness. I liked how all of my condiments came in separate cups and that the burger was soft, an indicator of that hand-crafted freshness.
My side, hand-cut fries, was slightly soggy and a little too greasy, but it didn't stop me from eating all of them. Adam and I both agreed the jambalaya was just OK.
The drinks: They offered either bottled or fountain soda, so I ordered a fountain drink and chose old school favorite Mello Yello. Adam had a cup of water.
The verdict: I really liked how they happily catered to both vegetarians and carnivores with their build-your-own-burger concept, which made me want to try the rest of their styles.

China's Li Na set up an intriguing final against defending champion Victoria Azarenka at the Australian Open after a comprehensive victory Thursday over world No. 2 Maria Sharapova.
The sixth seed -- a beaten finalist in 2011 -- was in imperious form as she romped to 6-2 6-2 win over the Russian in just over an hour and a half.
The 30-year old broke Sharapova's serve three times in the opening set and twice in the second to book her place in Saturday's final in Melbourne.
"Every time I'm back in Australia, I always feel something here," Li, the first Asian female to win a grand slam singles title, told reporters after the match.
"I always play well here. Everyone can be nervous in a final, so I have to enjoy it. I'm looking forward to the final."
Li credited a brutal training regime after she reached the final four in Melbourne for the third time in four years.
She began working with Carlos Rodriguez, former trainer of seven-time grand slam winner Justine Henin, after deciding to end her professional relationship with husband Jiang Shan.
"We train every day for five, six hours, but not only playing tennis," she told reporters earlier this week. "Tennis was like maybe two, three hours. Fitness was for two or three hours as well. First time I was training with him, I was so excited, but after three days, I was dying."
Li said ending her tennis partnership with her husband had caused many people to think they had also ended their personal relationship.
"He was doing a very good job," she said. "But between husband and the coach, it is very tough. Sometimes, if he said 'we should do something' I was feeling tired ... That's why sometimes we have to fight."

A lot of people are either on the side of first person or the side of third person. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of writing in first person for fiction?
First person makes it easy to show a character's motivations, and using it with an unreliable narrator can add a nice twist of ambiguity. With highly sympathetic narrators, it can forge a strong connection between reader and protagonist. On the other hand: (Most of this assumes the point point-of-view character is the protagonist, which is the option I've seen most often.) The reader can't witness any action that the protagonist doesn't. It's more challenging to describe the point-of-view character (both physically and otherwise). The reader doesn't get the benefit of multiple perspectives on the same events. It tends to distance the reader a bit from the other characters. "Disadvantages" might not be the best word, because some or all of them can be advantages in certain types of stories. For instance, suspense might hinge almost entirely on the reader's only being privy to a limited view of events. I would say that, generally, first-person works best with a point-of-view character who is either extremely identifiable (reader feels at home in the character's head) or not identifiable at all (reader needs an especially deep insight into the character's motivations). |
I would like to highlight an advantage that first person gives when writing a text: the emotional edge in describing lists, enumerations and so on. Things are rendered as integral to your personal memories: you could easily build a crescendo where otherwise a detached description would induce other emotions in the reader. It is a common trick for rhetorical speeches (i.e. preachers, politicians), but some splendid examples belong fully to literature. One example in contemporary literature is 'Je me Souviens' by Georges Perec |

It has survived repeated waves of boom and bust. It's a metaphor for Alberta pride, and Alberta folly; a symbol of our cultural oscillation between wild excess and puritan parsimony.
It has been hostage to power struggles between provincial and federal governments.
It has served in war and peace.
It has hosted kings and queens, potentates and a pope, and provided safe refuge to weary wounded veterans.
It's been the site of secret political meetings — and the wedding photo backdrop where thousands of brides have played princess, and thousands of flower girls and ring bearers have played hide and seek.
Government House, Edmonton's scaled-down version of Downton Abbey, celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
Last month, the federal government officially declared it a National Historic Site — the only building in Edmonton with such a designation.
Once, the sandstone mansion stood on the outskirts of town, in the midst of a sprawling country estate. Today, it's in the centre of a city the original builders could never have imagined.
In 1910, five years after Alberta entered Confederation, the province decided it needed to build a vice-regal residence for its lieutenant-governor. With the economy booming and the public mood buoyant, the government purchased a prime 29-acre property on a river-view cliff from James Carruthers, the developer of upscale Glenora. The three-storey mansion was designed by Richard Blakey, in Jacobean Revival style, with bay windows and high gabled roofs. Scottish stonemasons finished the brick exterior walls with sandstone cladding, quarried near Calgary. Underneath was a steel and concrete frame. It was an edifice built to last.
There were 13 bedrooms, including seven for servants. The interior walls were panelled in oak, the antique furniture imported from Europe. There was an elevator, a glass conservatory. But the planned ballroom was never built, because Alberta's first lieutenant-governor, George Bulyea, a devout Baptist, disapproved of dancing.
Total cost? About $350,000 — roughly $7 million in today's dollars.
"I don't think the government thought twice about it," says Margaret Robinson, who chairs the Government House Foundation, established in 1976 to protect and promote the site. "For a new province, the thinking was that if you want to have the status of the other provinces, you need a proper residence for your lieutenant-governor. It was built to befit a province coming into its own."
The house officially opened in October 1913, and the Bulyeas hosted their first formal reception in January 1914. Mrs. Bulyea, The Edmonton Journal reported, wore "a very beautiful gown of black brocaded chiffon velvet" while Mrs. Sifton, the premier's wife, sported "a Paris gown of black broche, white lace tunic with band of ermine fur and black velvet hat, with long black Paradise osprey."
At first, the site was off-limits to the proletariat. It was Bulyea's successor, Robert George Brett, who first opened the grounds to the public.
Not everybody was impressed by the trappings of Edwardian Empire — especially not after the First World War, when imperial glory seemed dated, and the $20,000 it cost to run the house annually, absurd. In 1925, Calgary Independent MLA William McCartney Davidson, the publisher of The Albertan, proposed a motion to sell government house, arguing against the cost and symbolism of maintaining a "Royal Court" in democratic Alberta. The motion passed, 29-16. It was rescinded four months later, because of the lack of reasonable offers.
In 1938, the Depression was deep, and Social Credit Premier William Aberhart was at loggerheads with John Bowen, a former Liberal MLA who had been appointed lieutenant-governor by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.
Bowen had refused to give royal assent to three controversial pieces of Aberhart legislation, arguing they were unconstitutional. Two would have given the province control over its own banking system. The third would have imposed government control over Alberta newspapers. Insisting his motives were strictly economic, Aberhart evicted Bowen. The province dug up the flower beds, installed wire security fences and chained the garden gates.
"Thus, one of the showplaces of the city for the past 27 years is no longer available for public inspection and admiration," mourned a front-page Edmonton Journal story.
The abrupt closure caused a protocol problem the next year, when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth arrived. Bowen had to buy a silver tea set, with his own money, to host the royal couple.
In 1942, the government auctioned off the contents of the house — the furniture, the rugs, the chandeliers, the drapes, the sheets, the china. The Edmonton Journal reported that more than 4,000 people came to the pre-sale tour of the house — with four members of the RCMP and 12 provincial peace officers to guard the goods.
"The very sad thing is that it just brought pennies on the dollar. It brought nothing," says Robinson.
According to a front-page Journal story, the Steinway grand piano fetched just $700. The antique grandfather clock went for $110.
"RCMP watched impassively as buyers, (the) majority of whom were women, bought silver candelabra for $120, or pairs of window drapes for $32 or Sheraton tables for $82."
Next, the province leased the stripped mansion to Northwest Airlines, as a dormitory for pilots who were using Edmonton as a vital stop in an American Lead-Lease operation, transporting Bell Aircraft P-39 Cobra fighter planes to the Soviet Union, via Alaska.
"Thus the building will make a contribution to the (Allied) war effort and also serve to assist in relieving the housing shortage here," said an Edmonton Journal story — which also reported that the beautiful glass conservatory was being converted into the pilots' shower room.
Robinson recently spoke with one wartime resident, now in his 90s, who claimed Nikita Khrushchev, the future Soviet leader, actually slept at Government House while working on the Cobra scheme — a great story, even if there's no official record of Khrushchev travelling here.
Though peace came in 1945, the war work of Government House continued. It was converted into a convalescent home for veterans of the Boer War, the First World War, and the Second World War, providing disabled veterans with occupational therapy. It fulfilled that role until the fall of 1966, when residents were moved to a new facility on the University of Alberta campus.
As part of the 1967 Canadian centennial celebrations, the Socred government refitted the first floor of the building as a government reception centre. Premier Harry Strom reopened Government House with a grand reception in 1969.
But though Government House seemed its old self, looks were deceiving.
"The infrastructure was really falling apart," says Robinson. "You had a totally distraught building."
In 1971, Government House hosted Soviet prime minister Alexei Kosygin, who donned a feathered head dress and smoked a pipe with aboriginal leaders. Just hours after he left, the main floor ceiling, complete with heavy chandelier, collapsed.
That close call inspired Premier Peter Lougheed to endorse a major structural repair.
"There was no expense spared," says Marianne Fedori, a Edmonton heritage advocate, and a member of the Government House Foundation board. "It was done of the highest, finest standards."
The 1975-76 renovations, which cost $6 million — about $25 million in today's dollars — completely remade the building, from the boilers to the roof. But though the structural improvements were vital, aesthetically things weren't always well-considered. Renovators lowered the high ceilings and installed the sort of groovy furniture Austin Powers might deem shagadelic.
"Not everything was kind to the house," says Robinson. "But that was the time. Architects and designers in the 1960s and 1970s liked to take a historical building and make the interiors modern."
"In the 1970s, no one was into heritage restoration," says Fedori. "In the mid-1980s, the sensibility became more purist. Now, we're trying to be as sensitive as possible as to what goes in there."
Some elements of 1970s style remain, though: the lieutenant-governor's former bedroom is now a boardroom with a collection of modernist harvest gold Knoll arm chairs, and heavy curtains made of harvest gold crushed-velvet corduroy — with a batik pattern, no less. And on the third floor, once the servants' quarters, a giant counsel chamber looks strikingly like a futuristic Star Trek set — someplace the United Federation of Planets, not the Tory caucus, might meet.
It's an intriguing heritage challenge. The 1970s are as much a part of the site's history as the 1920s. Would removing all the sleek, hip, modernist fixtures and furnishings, and replacing them with hundred-year-old antiques be robbing the house of some of its past — or restoring its original authenticity?
For now, that's a hypothetical question. Routine operation and maintenance alone costs the province about $300,000 annually. With the house still in heavy use for official meeting, there are no plans to make it a formal museum. Yet in a couple of years, when the renovations to the Federal Building are completed, caucus meetings and most government ceremonies will move there. The Royal Alberta Museum will move to a new site downtown. And Government House will once again be looking for a new identity and mission.
"We'll have to see how the House evolves," says Robinson.
Government House is currently closed to the public. It reopens on Feb. 16 for the Family Day long weekend, and will offer free tours every Saturday, Sunday, and holiday Monday during its 100th year. Visitors can see a centennial archival photo exhibit as well as a truly extraordinary collection of Canadian art, including works by Alex Janvier, Illingworth Kerr, A.Y. Jackson, Takao Tanabe, John Snow, Joane Cardinal-Schubert, Margaret Chapelle, William Kurelek and Nicholas de Grandmaison.
The Foundation is also trying to repatriate the home's original furnishings. Some people, often the descendants of those who bought at auction, have donated those family heirlooms, some of which are on display in the house. Just last year, the Foundation bought back a 42-piece set of original Government House Royal Worcester china from a Toronto antique dealer. Other items, though, are tantalizingly out of reach — that grandfather clock remains in the proud possession of the daughter of the family who bought it for $110 in 1942.
Mostly, the Foundation wants to get Albertans to take pride in a place that belongs, not to the rich and powerful, but to all of us. They want us to remember not just the politicians and aristocrats who've graced its halls, but the dashing American pilots and vulnerable wounded veterans who called the house home.
"When the stories are lost, then a city loses its soul," says Robinson. "We want to be sure the story of the whole 100 years is told, not just the history that ended in 1942. Our goal now is to make the public aware that the house is theirs."

I did the skeet shooting, and after about 100 rounds, firing the gun was not pleasant. I had a giant bruise on my shoulder. Over an afternoon, it became less fun....
This is an MP5

A good crowd of co-workers, friends, family members and other loved ones gathered for a reception to honor Salter held in the community room of the Cherokee County Administration Building.
"We are honored to have you here today to honor Judge Salter," said Burgess.
"We hate to see him go, but that is the way it is. We are going to be sorrowful for that."
Salter recognized the Rev. Eric Ellis, a Cherokee County native, who flew in from Auburn, Ala. for the occasion and called upon Rev. Ellis to open in prayer.
"We want to welcome everybody here," said Burgess.
"This is a great occasion for us. We want to honor Judge Salter. He has been a mentor, he has been a great leader to us and we just want to take this opportunity to thank him. He has his family here today and we are so glad they could be with us."
Burgess asked the employees of the Cherokee County Tag and Probate Judge's office to join him in presenting a special plaque to Salter for his years of service.
"When I think about Judge Salter, the first thing that comes to my mind is leader," said Burgess.
"He is truly a leader. He has been a blessing in my life and I know he has yours too. When I think about a leader there are a couple of characteristics I do want to say about a leader. First of all a leader has to have vision. Judge Salter has vision. The Great Yogi Berra once said, if you don't know where you are going, you might end up some place else."
"If you know Judge Salter and the way he has conducted himself, he has always had a vision for the county," said Burgess. "He has always set his sights on things and has always worked to accomplish those. You know where he stood on issues and although some of the things that he wanted to accomplish have not been accomplished yet, he has planted seeds and he has laid the groundwork for that."
"But he has accomplished a lot of things in his six years," said Burgess. "If he has told me once, he has told me 100 times, 'I've got six years to do this job and I want to serve the people of Cherokee County every day and try to make Cherokee county a better place' and we are blessed to have a man like that."
A leader, Burgess said, should also have a servant's heart.
"Judge Salter is always willing, or has been in my respect, to do anything he could for you and for anybody that asked," said Burgess.
"I just want to give one illustration," said Burgess. "In April (2011) when we were having the tornadoes, we knew there was going to be bad weather so we sent the county employees home a little early. I was one of those that left. I get a call. I am hunkered down in the basement, I feel my phone buzzing and I go, 'Oh no, there's Judge Salter. What does he want?'"
"He was up here with Mrs. Beverly Daniel (Cherokee County EMA director) when the storm was happening," said Burgess. "I am at home with my family, safe with my family, and he is up here with Mrs. Daniel. The TVs had gone out, our Internet had gone out and we lost all weather information and the hospital was depending on us to tell them where the storm and what was happening. Judge Salter called me to ask me how to get the Internet back up. I said, 'Well, I will be there.' He said 'No, no, no, don't leave your family, just tell me what to do.' And I did, and he went back after two or three tries, finally that thing booted back up. But he was here looking out for the citizens of Cherokee county, doing what he could at that particular time, and also he took the lead on some of these things. He was up here everyday and willing to do those things because he cared so much."
"And judge I just want to tell you how proud I am of you and the job you have done and I know your family is proud of you," said Burgess. "We all just want to wish you well in your endeavors and we just want to present you with this plaque."
The plaque was presented to "the Honorable Melvyn Salter, probate judge/commission chairman in recognition of your service to the people of Cherokee county and the office of probate and Cherokee county Commission Jan. 2007 –January 2013."
"Tim thank you for those kind words," Salter responded. "I know it came from your heart and I appreciate it very much. These have been six years of learning for me. These ladies have taught me a lot of things. And a lot of things I still don't know, but I try to rely on them to just take the ball and run with it. They serve this county well. Our county doesn't really know what kind of employees we have. They are top notch and they are out there working every day in every department to try to make our county a better place to be."
"I am going to miss being here and Judge Day is going to be taking over at 12:01 Sunday evening," said Salter. "He has been here before and he knows what kind of folks we have working our offices and we are very proud of them and that is what makes our county really tick and really go."
"I really appreciate all the different agencies of our county, our sheriff department, DA's office, circuit and district judges," said Salter. "We just have a great county and I am just happy to be a part of it and to have the opportunity for you to entrust to me these six years of service."
"Tim is a great administrator for our county," said Salter. "And there's also Johnny Roberts and our revenue department. These two men make a lot of things happen for our county. You are going to be a spot in my heart for the rest of my life. You are special to me and I thank you again for entrusting these days to me. I hope we have done what we thought the Lord wanted us to do. Thank you very much."
As part of the program, Leesburg Mayor and Close Friend Ed Mackey presented Rev. Salter a special memento for his retirement, a rocking chair!
Salter, as Mackey pointed out, had knee surgery recently and wasn't up and walking as fast as he thought he might be. He thought the rocking chair might come in handy.
"I appreciate you being a friend to me," said Mackey. "Take advantage of that rocking chair!"
And last but certainly not least, Salter extended appreciation to his family, including wife, Doris, daughter Sheri and his three grandchildren, Grayson, Hayden and Hunter for sticking by him during his years as commission chairman/probate judge. As many may know, Salter is the former pastor of Centre First Baptist Church where he served for more than 20 years.
"Through the years, as pastor and this position here, Doris has always been right here for me and my children as well," said Salter. "Any accomplishments I have made are accomplished because of her support. My grandchildren, grand pappy couldn't have any better pride and joy than the three I have. They always encourage me. I appreciate all of their support and encouragement."

Letter of Thanks from a KCC Parent |
We are proud to share this parent letter, written to Jessica Hunt, our director of occupational therapy and sensory integration programs. We are so thankful for the families who trust the KCC to bring out the very best in their children, and are beyond thrilled to hear when we've made a profound difference in their lives. Dear Jessica, Today we are celebrating Chase's second birthday and it feels appropriate to stop and honor you and all that you've done for him. It's been three months since Chase graduated from his therapy with you. The changes you've created within him have been transformative in our lives and in his. While I've never received professional OT training, it became apparent to me upon our first evaluation that your knowledge of my son far exceeded that of those who have spent months working with him. I thought I was receiving the best OT available, having spent ample time at both private clinics and the best children's hospitals in the country. I did not know the true capabilities of what OT could do for my son until I met you. I held tightly onto every suggestion you offered and seriously implemented those into our daily routine. We still craft our days based on what "Jessica" would want us to do. Even my choice of toys for Chase to play with has been completely changed since we met you. You have had the single greatest influence on my parenting decisions of anyone I know. Last night, I was writing Chase his birthday letter, a summary of his past year and sentiments to be shared with him when he is older. I told him all about his angel, Jessica, whom he may never remember but because of her will forever be changed. Chase and I spent every day of his life, since 9 months old, in therapy with OTs who clearly did not master their field. You have taken your role as an OT and elevated it to a new level. The bar is now set higher for any person who ever wants to work with my child again. As you know, Chase has had a complicated young life, and we have many specialists that we have to follow up with. There are several physicians that saw him just before we started at KCC and then followed up with earlier this year. They were astonished at the developments and progress he had made, one specific physician even admitted that he never believed Chase would able to overcome the challenges that he had to face. I explained to him the amazing services of KCC and I know he has now personally referred several patients to you. Today, you are in our prayers of thanks. I do not know where we would be if my son had stayed in the care of the other OTs that have attempted to treat him over the past two years. We are so thankful for everything you've done for Chase and our family. Please feel free to share this letter with any prospective parents of the KCC. I am proud to explain to anyone who's interested that my son was made whole again because of you. With deepest gratitude, |

Shailene Woodley and The Fault In Our Stars
I apologise in advance. For many of you, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green was one of the best books of 2012. I liked it ok. But I didn't love it. I didn't cry. I tried to cry, I did. But it just wasn't there for me. And I'm sorry. Maybe it's because I've read a lot of YA? Green's Looking For Alaska and Will Grayson, Will Grayson were better, in my mind. Full Story

A A Thank you for this blog, Archie! It's a common question that customers ask, especially when they are shopping for gifts this season.
It wasn't pixie dust, but ingenuity and technological know-how that brought one of the world's smallest single-serve machines to our doorstep. The itty-bitty Nespresso Pixie is about eight capsules tall and as wide as the length of the average spoon. At only 6.5 pounds, the Pixie weighs less than most newborns. Think of it as the Thumbelina of the espresso world. The Pixie can fit in almost any nook and cranny; you can park it at home or your cubicle and kiss burnt office coffee goodbye. It's even available in 6 vibrant colors to suit your personal preferences and décor.
Lest you think otherwise, the Pixie doesn't just rest of its good-looking, space-saving laurels. Equipped with a thermoblock boiler that could, this single-serve espresso machine posts record-breaking warm-up times. On average, it takes the Pixie only 25 seconds to go from a cold start to ideal brewing temp. This means you can turn the machine on and prepare a fresh beverage in less than 60 seconds. You'll be able to brew a great shot and make it to the next department meeting with plenty of time to spare.
The Capsules
The single-serve Pixie uses proprietary Nespresso capsules to prepare your drinks. This is something worth keeping in mind, if you're interested in purchasing not just the Pixie but any Nespresso single-serve machine. Nespresso capsules are available exclusively through the Nespresso Club and are not sold through Whole Latte Love or any other retailer. There are 16 Grand Cru capsules to choose from, ranging from ristretto to espresso, regular, decaf and café lungo varieties. Ground coffee is sealed within the aluminum-coated capsules to protect against air and light exposure and guard against oxidation, flavor and aroma loss. By any standard, the Nespresso capsules and brewing system are some of the best in the industry.
The Pixie can accommodate all Nespresso capsules. Shot volume is programmable; you can opt to brew one, two or three-ounce espressos to suit your preferences. Even for the uninitiated, the Nespresso Pixie is easy to use. Simply insert a capsule of your choice and press the single or double-shot button. The Pixie will brew and dispense fresh espresso directly into your cup. Spent capsules are automatically discarded into the capsule container, which is capable of holding approximately 10 capsules.
If you want to brew into an espresso cup, leave the cup tray down; otherwise, the cup tray can be pushed up and out of place to allow you to accommodate a tall glass (up to 5.5" inches). The Pixie is also exceedingly energy efficient. It'll let you go green by using 40% less energy than comparable single-serve machines. Nespresso will even get you started on the right foot with 16 free capsules. If you've been waiting for a small, easy-to-use single-serve espresso machine, the Nespresso Pixie is just what the doctor ordered.

Hi, Please join me in a heartfelt prayer of thanks to whichever God/s you wish. We are so relieved. our son had to have a scan of his heart. When the results came they said there appeared to be something lying across or close to his heart and he needed a further chest X ray to see if there was something or if it was a glitch on the machine. I have lost lots of family to cancer and we have been beside ourselves with worry for some weeks.
The other day he got the x ray result and it was completely normal, there is nothing wrong at all. Relief is too small a word.

Chat with potential EU crew – updates about not having an Open
Hey everyone. We've been running the daily KotH's as scheduled. Right now, it's a bit tough for us to host an Open in the capacity that we have in the past. Our staff that would typically host these events has been a bit busy. As you noticed, we have a lot of fresh faced casters as well. We will continue with the King of the Hill events, and are considering bringing back a Master's night.
I know I've been saying this forever, but we are actually due a check from JTV. This money will go towards the prize pool for an Open that will be planned and advertised well in advance. Until we figure out when this is happening, we likely will not be having a tournament unless someone steps up to host a tournament every week. Otherwise, we may cut back to a once a month type schedule – and/or cut back the hours of casted time for the tournaments.
I also spoke with a bloke from the EU servers earlier today about the start of an EU KotH and tournament series. If all goes as planned, we'll be casting 8 hours a day, 4 for the EU KotH and 4 for the NA. My EU counterpart is trying to assemble a crew, and we're planning some of the scheduling and website changes/updates that would need to occur to accommodate our EU friends.

TxDOT shifts Toll 49 control to region
Texas Department of Transportation officials officially transferred control of Toll 49 to the North East Texas Regional Mobility Authority Thursday.
On Saturday, officials will celebrate the transfer and the decadelong relationship that made Toll 49 a reality. Toll 49 is not expected to be open to traffic until the tentative date of March 29.
Mike Battles, general engineering consultant with Atkins, the NETRMA's general contractor, said the collaboration between the NETRMA, which was established in 2003 and TxDOT gave the project more funding options, which sped the completion of the 26-mile outer loop.
"Saturday is the culmination of the partnership to make Toll 49 a reality," he said.
State and local leaders are expected to attend the ceremony. The public is welcome, Battles said.
Battles said residents hoping to attend the ceremony should enter via Interstate 20. Attendees driving from Tyler should cross the interstate at Farm-to-Market Road 839 and take eastbound Interstate 20 to the entrance of Toll 49. He said signs should direct traffic to the site.
The site is still considered an active construction area and attendees should use caution, he said.
Battles said crews will continue finishing touches on Toll 49, including final road side completion, striping, and placing signage and signals.
"Transferring Toll 49 to the NETRMA is a key milestone for those who have seen the vision of a high-speed loop around Tyler become a reality," said Texas Transportation Commissioner Jeff Austin III. "Through regional cooperation setting regional priorities, this highway not only continues to be a lever in enhancing economic development and business activity, it also improves quality of life in the region."

Cooking Workshop with Kids and Interactive Soundinstallation by Peter Szabo & Margithazi Beja
Sounds of the Kitchen is a series of cooking sessions with kids performed at an amplified table. Besides the variety of cakes the sessions generate every time a unique sound performance. The sound installation which amplifies the noises of cooking can be later used by inhabitants and visitors of the mobile unit to express their political or social ideas, to dialogue and argue with each other.

text: Development of a local land site often necessitates local environmental site assessment. Municipalities enforce environmental regulations including the responsibility to perform a local environmental site assessment and if necessary, site remediation. This is the result of the purchase of undeveloped property that has exposure to industrial pollution or various forms of chemical or petrochemical spills. A local environmental site assessment mandate insures environmental health by inhabitants and to protect environmentally sensitive streams as well as flora and fauna. In order to properly assess the environmental health of specific properties, testing of soil, water and air is performed to determine specific pollutants. Local environmental management groups are charged with the duties of monitoring, testing and overseeing performance of environmental testing. Environmental management groups are generally broken down into categories that handle specific duties. For instance, a main department of environmental management specifically maintains environmental health for water. Within this group, there may be subdivisions with focus on storm water, wastewater and wastewater treatment. This is also true of air and soil groups. Hazardous waste defines as disposable waste with a potential to cause widespread damage to human and animal health as well as destroying air, water and soil. As an example, hazardous waste may occur after a toxic cleanup, such as asbestos, has been performed at an industrial site. Depending on the degree of hazard, removal and remediation of the site will require all of the waste from the cleanup be sent to a certified landfill. Hazardous waste may also occur when there has been an oil spill near shipping lanes. With regard to hazardous waste from industrial processes, this may be generated from process equipment that releases toxic emissions into the air. Most industrial processes are required to install air pollution controls to trap pollutants before they become airborne. These controls are known as dust collectors, precipitators and scrubbers. In each case, the filtration of polluted air must be properly disposed of at a certified landfill.

If indecision gets the better of them they have ample time to use their Gift Card, but while the card remains valid until the expiry date, a monthly service fee of €3 will be deducted from the balance from month thirteen of issue.
The balance can be checked at any time by visiting http://www.perfectcard.ie/PerfectCard004_Live05/AccountEnquiry.aspx or by texting PFC BALANCE and your 16 digit card no to: 57887*
*Your text will be charged at your standard networks rates. Service Provider is mBlox Ltd, 1 Oliver's Yard, City Road, London, EC1Y 1 HQ +353 (0)1 696 8396.
