Residents across Fylde are being asked to keep their eyes open in its zero tolerance approach to dog-dirt.
Council bosses warn that £50 Fixed Penalty tickets will be given to all owners who fail to clear up after their pet – but ask for public help in identifying hot-spots.
Dog wardens have been assigned to the grassed area off Carr Lane in Kirkham after a series of complaints from members of the public.
Sarah Wilson, Fylde Council's dog warden service manager, said: "The number of complaints about dog-dirt rises every winter as, we assume, people think they won't be seen in the dark.
"We changed our wardens' working hours last year so they also work in the hours of darkness. We give out £50 tickets whenever people offend: they don't like it but they have to think of others."
Citizens can report fouling by calling 01253 65658 or emailing email@example.com.

Telangana Government has launched TS Wallet App for future cashless transaction payments using smartphones. This was the call taken by our PM Narendra Modi's cabinet to rollout a roadmap for cashless payments, which is one of the government's key agendas after the demonetisation exercise to make cashless economy or cashless society.
PM Narendra Modi addressed in "Mann Ki Baat" radio as: Lesscash First, Cashless Society Next!
Cashless economy is Safe, Secure and it's Clean making India move towards an increasingly digital economy.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi requests country to get into a cashless society after the demonetization of 500/- and 1,000/- and this is the first biggest financial event in the history of India. The change has been accepted by many of the people but has also received some serious criticism from senior citizens.
Currently, GDP ratio of India is an indication of amount been used which is around 12% to 13%. With cashless transactions in future, there is some lack of infrastructure which is bringing back the move towards achieving the goal of going digital. So, lets go digital.. lets go cashless!

Hi everyone,
I'm was helping my parents move out of their house this weekend and I came across my old 68 Automag. I haven't used it in about 15 years, and I'm sure it needs a rebuild. I'd love to get back into the sport.
I'm not a tinkerer, but I'd like to try to get this thing working again on my own. Could the experts on this forum tell me what parts likely need to be replaced after all these years, and where I can buy them? I've got a level 10 bolt on there.

The Little Prick of Slow Bleed
Now John Harris, chief editor of The Politico, has outed himself as the source of the odious terminology. In a sort of mea culpa confession, Harris expresses regret that he handed Murtha's opponents "ammunition in the form of evocative but loaded language." While I applaud Mr. Harris' efforts clear the air and his conscience, his apology is hollowed by his lame excuse of wanting to make the reporting of the plan "a little snappier".
Harris says that his intention when he started The Politico was "to make the work of political journalists more transparent". If he had taken this advice to heart, reported the facts at hand and refrained from making things "a little snappier", he might have been more than just another prick in our already pockmarked discourse.

An Overall Design
Articles: Sarasota History
(Speech delivered at the luncheon of the 2nd Annual Architectural Field Day, January 13, 1951. Sponsored by the Student Chapter of the A.I.A., F.A.A., University of Florida.)
I have found that most of the difficulties in life are the result of making involved questions out of simple ones.
I am no speaker. I have had no time to prepare a speech. I glanced at my past for something that might, by chance, be interesting to students of design today. My own experiences would be easy for me. There I would be on familiar ground. But would it be interesting to students of today? The merest glance at my own experience left no doubt of the dominant force in my life. Every direction I turned the same question appeared. It might be wearing a different uniform. Its complexion might vary but the same basic principle was there. It carried an overall design.
You my not call it by the same name or recognize it as basic, but for my part, I am sure.
I was trained first in McGill in the pattern of the Royal Institute of British Architects, then in Columbia and Europe in the orderly pattern of the Beaux Arts. During that training I listened to many good lectures but found few of them interesting. Frankly, they all started academically, all in a proper pattern and were to me as dull as dishwater. I am no speaker at all. I'm going to hand you nothing academic, nothing very orderly in fact. If it too is dull, it won't be because it has a traditional pattern.
My wish is to give you a feeling of what I have found as the answer. To me it is the answer to all of the problems of life. Design is no entity standing on a lonely Acropolis. It is an orderly expression of life itself. Confusion, timidity and doubt never created an inspired design. None of us are timid or hesitant about approaching the familiar. In fact all of us are fond of return with pleasure to familiar spots and memories. None of us do things well that we do not like. Right there is answer number 1.
Grow familiar with order, rhythm, beauty and they will give you pleasure. Grow to know them and you'll fall in love with them much like a youngster with his first sweetheart.
When we were children most of us played with blocks and toys. We piled them up and pulled them down, pulled our toys apart and put them together again. I those days we liked to put our fingers into things and see what made them click. Look around and you'll see that all humans do just that at all ages. So, there is answer number 2.
Return to your childhood blocks and try some building. Pull apart a few mechanical contrivances and see what makes them click.
While all of us were growing up there came a stage in which we were interested in ideas, in people's opinions. At that age we usually didn't agree with any of them. They didn't quite express our own ideas until suddenly we found someone or someone's ideas in a book that seemed to be right down our alley – we liked to listen to them, talk to them or devour their written thoughts. And there is answer number 3.
Follow your natural interests – devote yourself to the people and ideas you like. An expansion of this thought gives answer number 4.
But here my personal story may help, for out of this thought grew my own personal religion. And it too is simple and vital.
In the First World War aviation was new. I was General Spatz' Chief Test Pilot in France and went down in one of the first patrols made by the American Air Force – it was during the Chateau Thiery Drive. I was pretty badly smashed up with a broken back and leg, my skull cracked open with a blow that split the cortex of my brain. It left me paralyzed and unconscious for more that three weeks. An experimental board of top notch physicians, called the Medical Research Board of the Air Service, had been sent over to study the effects of aviation upon young Americans. They arrived while I was still unconscious; so I was a subject they pounced on like vultures on a mangled cat. The board was headed by Col. Wilmer, who had been brain and nerve specialist for three Presidents in a row. When I finally regained consciousness, Col. Wilmer was sitting on my bed holding my hand and working my index finger, telling me to watch it move, feel it move, know that it moved. I must have taken him seriously for I overcame paralysis on my left side before my battered nerves atrophied and died. This was a lesson in timing and persistence.
Months later I was in a hospital on the French Riviera when the Armistice was signed and I asked to be sent home. By lucky chance Col. Wilmer was on the train that was taking me back to the Aviation Base Hospital for reassignment. Years later in Washington the Colonel told me that he had spent four hours on that train putting across one idea, that my brain was injured and that it would take 8 or 10 years to recover sufficiently to allow me to go safely to work. That meanwhile I should never attempt to force my brain. His words were "keep on familiar ground; do over and over the things you like best. Never do anything you do not want to do and you'll never go wrong." This has become my religion. It does not differ from my Quaker grandmother's teaching – "Listen to the small voice within." And this is answer number 4.
Frankly face the facts as you know them. Weigh them against your hunch and you'll be aware of wide horizons. Your former values, your facts, will melt before the penetrating heat of your hunch – your inner sight. You become a seer; wisdom is born.
In other words, never let your rational brain dictate to your inner feelings. When your spirit speaks heed it and be wholehearted about the way you obey it.
This may be counter to your interpretation of things you've been taught, but look around again and you'll realize that to do anything well, to get fun out of doing it, you've got to enter into the spirit of it no matter what it be. All of us know the value of a pep talk – of propaganda – of the often repeated advertisement. Throw yourself into things wholeheartedly. Forget yourself, forget your teachings. Never look to things that someone else has done for guidance. For an idea or an inspiration – yes. For direct guidance - never.
Art is always at its greatest before it reaches perfection. The power lies in that period in which it struggles to assert itself. Great art is always vibrant with spirit – vibrant with the joy of a vital idea.
What we think of today as the perfect job, tomorrow we will discard. The completed object, the material manifestation is only a symbol of the creative power that gave it birth. The true reality lies wholly in the spirit – the vibrant power that we call the "soul of the thing." It breathes with the close knit rhythm of the "living." Any shape or form or outward finish your effort may take is good design as long as it expresses that vibrant rhythm of life itself, in a balanced orderly fashion. The props, crutches and shrouds of mouldings, flutes and overlay express the feeble and the dead.
Be a child. Fall in love with the things you like. Put your fingers into the works and see what makes things click. Sit at the feet of the Master whose thoughts are right down your personal alley. Never force yourself into anyone else's pattern but do only the things you like best to do until you become their master. Enter into the spirit of creation and produce that which is fun. Suddenly, you'll awaken to find that your design will be orderly, beautiful, living, and you'll know that you have arrived. You will have found peace in simple work that will live – a peace that comes to the blessed few.

There's definitely a distinct chill in the air, perfect weather to wrap your hands around a nice hot cup of tea. I'm really loving my Purple Haze nail polish by Models Own. It's so sparkly and is a lovely deep shade yet still vibrant shade, I can be a bit funny with purple so this is a definite winner. Theres something quite halloween-esque about it. I've been signed off work from the doctors this week after being sent home on tuesday and I came back home during the day today whilst my friends at work so I could finish off some fashion illustration commissions and get ready to make some new products for my shop. Never ending 'To Do Lists' seem to dominate my life.
For a limited time I am doing Custom A5 illustrations for £15 in the style of 'What They Wore' and have listed them on my Shop.

Some say it's 2008 over again, but it may even be worse for the US economy, if the previous top is broken, which is I believe going to be the case. This is just a belief at this moment, though. As for the time objective for the test of the old top, beginning of the next year (like around January 2017) seems plausible.

Identity theft is a serious crime that impacts the lives of over 10 million people each year and the numbers are rising. Although the risk of identity theft is year-round, the holiday season can put both consumers and businesses at a heightened risk.
Did you know 1 out of every 20 people is at risk of having their identity stolen?
However, consumers are not the only ones being targeted anymore. Now business owners have a new type of threat that can induce a whirlwind of devastation to their companies.
While the cost of identity theft among consumers costs companies worldwide an estimated $221 billion a year; business identity theft is a real and growing threat across the country.
When it comes to a business, a criminal will take possession of a company's identity and utilize it to get credit in the company's name. Once they obtain several new credit accounts they go on a spending spree purchasing electronics, office equipment, gift cards, and other products that could be purchased and sold for cash.
The damage this can cause could immobilize a business, prevent it from acquiring any credit, and even endanger its entire operation.
As a business owner you need to be proactive and take the necessary steps to protect your business credit identity. Here are four ways to protect your business during and through the holiday season.
1) Establish a protection plan– Layout a step-by-step strategy to secure your company's identity and put it into action. It's also important to have an action plan in place in the event that you do end up being a victim.
2) Keep company documents safe — Keep all your business files and records in a secure and protected location. Throw away any type of unneeded information using a micro cut shredder for the greatest degree of safety. Additionally, never ever offer your business tax identification number, financials, or bank statements to any person unless you have made the initial contact.
You should also consider using prepaid business credit card for staff members as opposed to a traditional business credit card. With these cards you can establish limits, deactivate cards in real time, and also limit which merchants the cards can be used at. If a criminal steals a company card from an employee you can quickly deactivate the card at a moment's notice.
3) Shield business details and sensitive data online– One of the ways to put your business at risk is by sending sensitive company information online. Before you submit any info online verify the website is secure and its security certificate is up to date.

Up Application System
The amount of sitting in an office environment can negatively impact the mental and physical health of the employees. Sitting less is a huge component in counteracting these harmful effects. To solve this problem, my team and I constructed a mobile app. and campaign to get its employees standing more. The App tracks tracks how many hours you're sitting and standing; rewards you for sitting less; and prompts you with customizable notifications. The campaign's goal is to keep the App relevant and fresh through posters, competitions, decals and brochures.

Dark Sector was one of those visual communication games (along with Killzone 2) that prime made its entry at E3 2005, but was absent in performance in a while. This has all changed during the summer because every new list regarding the Dark Sector have been free. Dark Sector is a third mortal marble for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
At oldest glance, Dark Sector seems to be in the one and the same blood vessel as Gears of War, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare, and Resident Evil 4. However, it is not a Gears of War, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare, or Resident Evil 4 winter sport. Dark Sector has one similarities with Gears of War and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare; furthermore, they landed estate utilizing your environments and taking veil.
The protagonist in Dark Sector is Hayden Tenno (CIA causal agent near uncanny abilities). He will skirmish a wide range of adversaries from genetically changed fiends to human beings. Fortunately, gamers have an ace up their sleeve near Hayden Tenno. You will have your routine variety of weaponry that are, but are not controlled to handguns, shotguns, apparatus guns, and so on. From the Dark Sector gameplay footage, we can assume that players will have a boomerang-like weapon system (ala Ninja Gaiden or Blade). The most distinctive weapon at your disposal has to be the boomerang due to its versatility. Dark Sector was scheduled for a 2007 production date, but has been in abeyance. The activity developers are in an odd difficulty with Dark Sector.Post ads:

There are inherently in a "damned if you do, blame if you don't" script which can compare to a lose-lose circumstances. Releasing the spectator sport in 2007 would be an painstaking provide as games approaching Halo 3, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, and Assassin's Creed will be ready. A 2008 free mean solar day would donate Dark Sector opposing resistant Grand Theft Auto 4, Too Human, and Metal Gear Solid 4. Regardless of a 2007 or 2008 liberation date, Dark Sector will be delving into quite a few brutal business relation.

The boy was committed to the Northampton County Juvenile Detention Center following the arrest at his home, police said.
The fire was started about noon last Tuesday on the dock area of a storage building at the rear of the company, located at 50 Hilton St.
Police said a pile of foam was ignited and the flames spread to the roof of the building. The heat melted foam at another storage building, fueling the fire, police said.
The fire was extinguished by the Williams Township Fire Co.

The Patriots face perhaps their last tough test of the year in the Denver Broncos before wrapping up the season against the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills.
The Broncos are winners of six straight and are 7-1 this season since Tim Tebow took over at quarterback. Denver has trailed in the fourth quarter in six of the Broncos' seven wins with Tebow. Their last loss was a lopsided 45-10 game against the Detroit Lions on Oct. 30.
While he hasn't been an efficient passer (48.5 completion percentage), Tebow's running ability, combined with the Bronco's nontraditional offense, has made a recipe for success. The former Florida quarterback has taken care of the ball, only committing five turnovers (two interceptions, three fumbles).
Equally, if not more, impressive as Tebow has been the Denver defense. During the team's six-game winning streak, opposing teams average just 17 points per game. Led by Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate Von Miller, Denver has sacked opposing quarterbacks 37 times this season, fourth most in the NFL. When it comes to defending the pass, the Broncos are in the middle of the pack. They allow an average of 232.9 passing yards per game, ranked 16th in the league.

Another Terri Schiavo
Up until last week, Sylvia ex-fiance has been making all the medical decisions about her care. He has approved several brain surgeries, heart surgery, and leg reconstruction. He was told last week that the time had come to consider removing the machines that kept her alive. He has been struggling with what to do. No decision had been reached.
But this past weekend Sylvia's parents said that he would no longer be making any medical decisions. He would also no longer be able to visit her. They claimed he was a detriment to her. They washed their hands of their child many years ago - and suddenly now they have provided legal documents that they will be making all future medical decisions.
Today he was told to say goodbye as the machines are going to be turned off and her feeding tube removed.
I am now going from a sort of passive supporter of him doing what he thinks is best to deciding I must fight for the right of my friend Sylvia not to die of starvation and torture.
I don't know what I can do. But I am going to do my damnedest to prevent her from being tortured to death. Please contact me if you have any ideas for support. Please contact me if you are fluent in German and would help me research her rights under German law.

Are you in Germany? The husband should have some guts, and not let the parents kill her off.
This is not a time for law. This is a time to teach the rotten parents and doctors who has the right to die!--And who has the right to live!
The husband needs to make friends at a bar, with a few guys who are not too well behaved.
When push comes to shove, the husband needs to let his friends teach the parents and doctors, how to demonstrate their own right to die.

The Riendeau Family, Brookline, New Hampshire
Wednesday, May 30th
Rufus comes to visit the Riendeau family in Brookline, New Hampshire. I had picked up Rufus from the Morris family in Nashua, New Hampshire that morning so I brought Rufus to work with me. I didn't have the heart to leave him in the van for the day.
I couldn't wait to get home and have Justine open the box. As soon as she did open the box he was immediately introduced to the rest of the family. Dad, Davey - brother, Webster - the 2 month old kitten and Fleabag - the other cat.
Thursday, May 31st
Rufus went to school with Justine to Brookline Elementary school to Mrs. Young's second grade classroom. He had a great time visiting and was on his best behavior. Mrs. Young even wrote a note in his traveling journal! He went to gym class with everyone and took the bus to the sitters after school. Thursday night was spent getting ready to go away for the weekend. Rufus and Justine's Blood sugar numbers have been right on target! Thanks to the pump!
Friday, June 1st
We went to school again and when I picked up Justine at 2 pm I took a picture of Rufus with the whole class. We were off to a Diabetes Care Givers weekend in Laconia New Hampshire up in the White Mountains. Normally the parents don't go to this weekend but Justine has been pumping for a month and I wanted her grandmother to learn how to do a site change and figure out the carb/insulin/bolus ratios so I was coming along for the weekend.
Rufus had a great time meeting all the other children who has diabetes on Friday night. He loved seeing Lake Winnepesauke and the White Mountains all around us from the resort we stayed at. Unfortunately it rained the rest of the weekend but we kept busy. Rufus didn't join the kids in the pool but sat by their meters so when they all came out to test and have a snack he was right there with them telling them how brave they are and how proud he is off all of them.
Sunday, June 3rd
In the morning we had a big breakfast buffet, packed up and headed home. We had a baby shower to go to for one of my friends that afternoon. Got home at lunch time, had a snack and off we went. He had fun watching the mom to be open all her presents but we over did it on the cake. I had to bolus a couple of times to get Justine's numbers back in range. Oh well!
Sunday night time to say goodbye to Rufus and get him ready for his trip to the Greene family in Rochester, New York. Justine didn't want Rufus to leave but she knows that he is in excellent hands as he travels the globe. Justine wrote in his journal about her diabetes, how long she has had it, when she was diagnosed and now being on the pump four years later.
Monday, June 4th
We carefully tucked Rufus up in his box after one last hug and off he went to the Post Office. I mailed him Priority so he should arrive on Wednesday to his next destination.
Happy Trails Rufus. We can't wait to read about your adventures as you travel to other children with diabetes. Come back and visit again!
The Riendeau's
Lynne - Mom; Steve - Dad; Justine, 9 years old, diagnosed 3/97; and Davey, 7 years old, non-D

I've been working with some new materials, specifically learning how to use different kinds of paint on wood panels. For acrylic, I've used clear gesso, but I really wanted to use watercolors, and anyone who's tried laying watercolors on top of raw wood knows – yeah, that doesn't work. At all.
So, up until a few days ago, I was using Daniel Smith's tinted watercolor ground, which you can use the same way as gesso to lay a watercolor-able surface down on practically anything (wood, glass, metal, plastic – the possibilities!). On my most recent trip to the art supply store, I was turned onto the fact that a CLEAR watercolor ground exists. What? Yes.
I'd already primed a number of wooden panels, so half of these new pieces are on a solid background, and the other half – with the transparent watercolor ground – gasp (!) – takes full advantage of that wonderful wood grain.
I tried "maskoid" (liquid masking fluid) out on the watercolor ground to see if it would work the same as on paper, and it does! This is how I get little stars and dust-spots (or orbs, or what have you).

(This butterfly/moth girl is as of yet untitled. If you have any suggestions, please shoot!)
These pieces and a few more will be on display at Scratch Deli (1718 12th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122) – with the opening night being this Saturday, from 7-9. Hope to see you there!!

The description and title is spot on. You get a great balance of lemon cookie and slight coconut. It is a great concoction. I dont like coconut mixes, for some reason I always taste suntan lotion. But this did not come off as suntan lotion, just a slight flakey coconut taste.

I DIY most my juice, but I always come back to get this juice every now and again. I cant seem to find a good recipe to mimic this. The creaminess and coolness blend so well together with a small tobacco note in the background.

The detainees in our centres across Australia have one wish – their freedom.
My time on Christmas Island was an enriching experience. I was there when our Government had changed its policy to allow "Boat People's" visas to be processed. This came through before Christmas which meant that by the time I arrived on 13 December, most of the families had already left, and the men were hopeful that they would be sent to Darwin after Christmas where they might receive their visas.
I moved around the compound speaking and listening to the men as they waited for their names to appear on the next list for the plane to take them to Darwin. Word had come through that many of the families who went before Christmas were already living in the community in Australia. As each fortnight went by, the wait became tenser, as each man wondered if his name would ever appear on the fortnightly Wednesday morning list.
There are now about 69 men still waiting, and they will continue to wait due to legal issues. How long they are to wait nobody knows. The detainees in our centres across Australia have one wish – their freedom. They have fled from war and persecution and they are still not free, although most will admit that the Australian Government is providing well for their basic needs.
I appreciated listening to their stories about family, their country, their landing on Christmas Island and their day-to-day life in the centre. I took men out of the centre three afternoons a week. They enjoyed experiencing the beauty of the island, finding coconuts and mangoes, sitting watching the ocean and families swimming, and observing the navy boat keeping guard.
The navy boat had rescued many and brought them to the island. They rejoiced at their freedom, if only for a few hours. Other times they went out it was with Serco, the security personel. There were many hand and body gesticulations as we communicated in limited English. Often, another man would add his interpretation. Sometimes this was helpful, at other times we would just laugh together. Even though they felt imprisoned, there was a great sense of respect, acceptance of their circumstances, and desire to make the most of the situation.
Many just wanted English conversation. My teaching skills often came to the fore as I helped the men understand their English lessons and correct grammar usage in everyday speech. One man said to me that he used to speak good English but now he only spoke "broken English".
As I reflected on each day, I needed to wait for my brain to become calm from the words busily running around in it after a day of intense listening and speaking slowly. I am now more aware of what it means to be free and how reliant we are on Government policies. I heard several times, "Our people are good, it is because of bad policy and a powerful few that our countries are not safe".
Jesuit Refugee Services and the Sisters who worked on Christmas Island before me made my work so much easier: thank you! I would also like to say a tremendous thank-you to Susan and Ron D'Cruz, two local people who have welcomed and supported any religious and priests who have come to the island.
I ask your continued prayers for all who seek freedom in our country.

New VidaBox "vAutomation Edition" Nevo S70 (vS70™) Remotes Control Any Device via Fully Customizable vAutomation Interfaces
VidaBox, LLC announces the new "vAutomation Edition" Nevo S70™ remote, specifically designed to present fully customizable interfaces stored on a vAutomation server right on its 3.5" color touch screen.
Amsterdam, NL - ISE 2010 - February 2nd - Booth 1I27 - VidaBox, LLC is excited to announce the new "vAutomation Edition" Nevo S70™ remote, specifically designed to present fully customizable interfaces stored on a vAutomation server right on its 3.5" color touch screen. Dubbed the vS70™, this new remote allows users to control any device easily, ranging from AV sources, distribution matrices, lighting, climate, security, and other integrable subsystems over RS -232, TCP/IP, IR, and other communication protocols - all from the remote's hard buttons or color touch screen.
"The vS70™ is the 'missing piece' that many of our dealers have been asking for," says Steven Cheung, President of VidaBox, LLC. "Dealers and end users alike love vAutomation for its full customizability and flexibility, but controls for vAutomation have been mostly based on relatively expensive in -wall touch panels and mobile tablets thus far. With this new vS70™ remote and Touch3.6™ in -wall pads, this powerful combination fills the need for cost -effective touch screen controls, without sacrificing the customization capabilities that integrators and clients want."
When powered on, the vS70™ automatically seeks a vAutomation server on the local area network over WiFi, and pulls the control interfaces from the server. These interfaces are fully customizable to allow control, integration, and automation of any device. Anytime a change is made in the programming, the changes are instantly reflected on every vS70™. This provides massive time savings for integrators, since remotes no longer need to be updated individually.
"The design of the vS70™ solves the nuisance associated with updating conventional programmable remotes," continues Cheung. "When integrators make a programming change, they generally have to be on -site and manually upload the new programming onto each remote. Since every vAutomation server includes remote access, dealers can make updates to the server from the comfort of their office, and instantly push out these changes to every remote. With vAutomation and the vS70™, lengthy and drawn -out trips to a customer's home for even minor updates are now a thing of the past."
The vS70™ is available now for dealers who have attended and completed vAutomation training. For more details and specifications on the vS70™, vAutomation control platform, vAutomation training, and other VidaBox digital entertainment and control solutions, please visit the company website at http://www.vidabox.com, or call 516 -730 -7500.

NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, PETITIONERv.DOVER TAVERN OWNERS' ASSOCIATION ET AL., RESPONDENTS
McLaughlin, Kalodner and Van Dusen.
Author: Van Dusen
This case is before us on a petition for enforcement of the National Labor Relations Board's order issued January 5, 1968, against the Dover Tavern Owners' Association (hereinafter "Association") and its individual members.
The Association was formed by certain tavern owners in Dover, New Jersey, in February 1960. Contracts between individual members of the Association and Local 633 of the Bartenders' Union were scheduled to expire on September 15, 1966, but before the expiration Local 633 merged with another local to form new Local 158, which became Local 633's successor and represented the bartenders employed by the members of the Association.*fn1
In July 1966, Local 158 officers met with a committee of the Association to present their contract proposals. The committee agreed to take the proposals before the next Association meeting on July 13, 1966. In September the committee again met with the Union officers and stated that the Association did not wish to negotiate at that time.
Thereafter, the Union filed a series of three refusal to bargain charges against the Association and its members. All of the charges were ultimately withdrawn and on the date of the last withdrawal, January 25, 1967, the Union filed a representation petition with the Board's regional office in Newark, New Jersey. A hearing was held on February 7, 1967, at which both the Union and the individual members of the Association were represented. On February 10, 1967, all members of the Association wrote identical letters to the Association in which they stated: "Gentlemen, please be advised that it is hereby confirmed that you are not authorized to bargain with any labor organization on behalf of the undersigned." These letters were presented at the hearing on February 13, to which date the February 7 hearing had been continued.
The Board concluded that a history of multi-employer bargaining had preceded the filing of the representation petition and that the individual employers' attempts to withdraw from the Association after the representation hearing was opened had been untimely. Accordingly, the Board ordered an election be held; representation by Local 158 was favored at that election; and the Union was certified on July 14, 1967.
After its certification, Local 158 requested the Association to commence bargaining, but the Association failed to respond. Counsel advised the Union that the Association had no authority to bargain and that the Association no longer existed. On September 26, 1967, an unfair labor practice complaint was issued against the Association and its members. On January 5, 1968, the Board entered summary judgment against the Association and its members, requiring them or their successors to bargain collectively with the Union upon request, to cease refusing to bargain, and to post appropriate notices.
The issue is whether there was substantial evidence to support the Board's order finding that the Association constituted a multi-employer bargaining unit from which there was no timely withdrawal by the individual members, so that the Association's refusal to bargain with the duly certified representative of the employees constituted a violation of § 8(a)(5) and (1) of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 158(a)(5) and (1).
Multi-employer bargaining is consensual in nature and all parties must assent before such a relationship can exist. E.g., NLRB v. Tulsa Sheet Metal Works, Inc., 367 F.2d 55 (10th Cir. 1966); Publishers' Association of New York City v. NLRB, 364 F.2d 293, 295 (2nd Cir.), cert. den. 385 U.S. 971, 17 L. Ed. 2d 435, 87 S. Ct. 509 (1966). It is not necessary to show any formal delegation of authority to establish the existence of multi-employer bargaining. As was stated in Western States Reg. Coun. No. 3, Int. Woodworkers v. NLRB, 130 U.S. App. D.C. 176, 398 F.2d 770, 773 (1968):
" . . . The test to be applied in determining the status of a multi-employer unit is 'whether the members of the group have indicated from the outset an unequivocal intention to be bound in collective bargaining by group rather than individual action. . . .'"
The evidence here lends substantial support to the Board's finding that the Association is a multi-employer bargaining unit.*fn2 At the February 7, 1967, hearing, Charles R. Williams, Secretary-Treasurer of the Association, testified that both in 1962 and 1964 he was a member of a committee of the Association which negotiated contracts with representatives of Local 633.*fn3 After these contracts were successfully negotiated, the individual members entered separate but identical agreements with the Local.*fn4 In addition, the Association responded to an inquiry by Local 158 concerning its membership, stating that "the following Taverns are represented by the Dover Tavern Owners' Association . . . [listing them]", and two meetings were held where members of the Association were present along with representatives of Local 158.
All of the above-described evidence leads to the conclusion that the Association clearly evinced an intention to engage in multi-employer bargaining. Cf. NLRB v. Southwestern Colorado Contractors' Ass'n., 379 F.2d 360, 364 (10th Cir. 1967); NLRB v. Sheridan Creations, Inc., 357 F.2d 245, 247 (2nd Cir.), cert. den. 385 U.S. 1005, 17 L. Ed. 2d 544, 87 S. Ct. 711 (1966); NLRB v. Sklar, 316 F.2d 145, 149 (6th Cir. 1963). On this record, we conclude that the Board's finding that the Association was a multi-employer bargaining unit was supported by substantial evidence and may not be overturned.
Having decided that the Board's determination that the Association was a multi-employer bargaining unit was justified on this record, we must decide whether the members effected a timely withdrawal from the Association or whether the Association in fact existed when the ...

Now in its 10th year the United States Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) standards define a building's energy efficiency and, as importantly, low-impact and nontoxic construction guidelines. The project checklist for indoor environmental quality under the new construction and major renovation category can total up to 16 points toward the 40 to 49 points needed for basic LEED Certification. The highest rating, Platinum, requires 80 to 110 points among the total of 8 checklists in the category.
A complimentary classification is the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute's Indoor Air Quality Certification. Their indoor air quality standards are among the most stringent in the world and are based on available standards and guidelines from national and international public health agencies.
Daylight, acoustic performance and the use of low-emitting materials are awarded 7 of the 16 points on the LEED indoor environmental quality checklist. GREENGUARD certification calls for products that contain no toxic materials or that release dangerous gases into the air (i.e. no off gassing).
How Demountable Glass and Dividing Walls Qualify
Demountable glass walls are unsurpassed as a means of extending the reach of outside light deep into the workplace, thus helping to score LEED points. Also noteworthy, natural lighting is recognized as a contributing to workers' better health, reducing the feeling of isolation, and improving productivity. When properly placed in the workplace demountable glass walls can make many if not all interior workspaces a "window office" with a view to the outside world. ALUR demountable ½" tempered glass walls also contribute to acoustic performance or sound management and privacy due to their 36 STC (sound transmission class) rating. This means normal conversations cannot be understood through the glass.
Acoustic performance is further supported by ALUR demountable dividing walls, which are 3.5 inches thick and carry an impressive 42 STC rating. These walls are used to define the boundaries and function of private offices and conference rooms, and can be seamlessly integrated with ALUR glass walls. Horizontal configurations support office furniture elements as well as AV screens, tackboards, whiteboards, and paper management bins and shelves. Vertical configurations are used for applications including separating workstations, constructing conference areas and finishing off a run of individual offices.
Glass and the anodized aluminum framing used to construct and support ALUR walls are emission free materials. Dividing wall panels are also available with low emitting materials to reduce off gassing. These properties contribute to both LEED and GREENGAURD certification.
Office Furniture Systems
The ALUR Wall System is designed to compliment office furniture systems by the major brands as well as MAI's own brand of high quality office furniture. Products include workstations, private office furniture, and free-standing tables for conference rooms and collaboration areas. These products are GREENGUARD certified and further contribute to LEED points.
Other Contributors to LEED and GEENGUARD Certification
Modular office components may qualify for points under several classifications found in the LEED checklist for commercial interiors. Examples include:
- Resource reuse for non-structural components designed to facilitate moves, adds and changes (MACs) as business needs evolve. Components that are no longer needed can be stored for use later or sold to other users.
- Construction Waste Management: This LEED Materials Resource category is satisfied by bulk packaging and alternatives to traditional corrugated and Styrofoam materials. Cartonless techniques and minimal packaging for truckload orders are other eco-friendly shipping practices.
- Resource reuse in furnishings and fixtures: Wherever possible recycled materials are used in the construction of rugged steel and aluminum structural components. Fabrics are available in recycled materials that are free of heavy metals such as antimony, chlorine and PBT thermoplastic so they can be safely and perpetually recycled and re-manufactured in a closed loop system. 100% post consumer PET Is used for acoustical panels. In short, all components are fully recyclable at the end of their useful life.
- EPA requirements include worksurface substrates manufactured from non-wood agricultural fiber, the use of water- or bio-based glues, and using non-toxic dyes and recycled materials in tiles and panels. Further environmental and cost-saving benefits accrue because panels and other components are colored using powder coating techniques rather than spray painting.
- "Cradle to cradle" processes focusing on manufacturing products out of parts that can be recycled several times and produced using the least environmentally harmful methods.
Unsurpassed Quality, Sophisticated Design, Environmentally Friendly
ALUR demountable glass and dividing walls together with a broad range of office furniture options provide businesses, building owners and landlords with outstanding opportunities to create offices that are both environmentally friendly and beautiful. Office ambiance is becoming increasingly important to recruit and retain environmentally conscious and highly qualified personnel critical to supporting technologically intensive businesses, and to attracting customers.

Title: On a Pale Horse
Author: Piers Anthony
Edition: Paperback
Publisher: Ballantine Books (1983)
Pages: 325
How I Came by This Book: Jo from Fluidity of Time suggested that I read this book way back in May when I had asked for book recommendations in various and sundry categories. I recently picked a used copy up at Barnes and Noble for $2, along with a few other random sci-fi/fantasy books.
Challenges: Read Your Own Books Challenge; GoodReads 2011 Reading Challenge
Synopsis: Shooting Death was a mistake, as Zane soon discovered. For the man who killed the Incarnation of Death was immediately forced to assume the vacant position! Thereafter, he must speed over the world, riding his pale horse, and ending the lives of others.
Zane was forced to accept his unwelcome task, despite the rules that seemed woefully unfair. But then he found himself being drawn into an evil plot of Satan. Already the Prince of Evil was forging a trap in which Zane must act to destroy Luna, the woman he loved.
He could see only one possible way to defeat the Father of Lies. It was unthinkable--but he had no other solution!
Review: I'm a sucker for books with Death as the main character. Whether he's been in the job for years (e.g. Discworld) or just assuming the position (as with this book), I find the anthropomorphic personification of Death to be one of the most fascinating characters in fiction. With On a Pale Horse, Piers Anthony creates a new narrative surrounding a character as old as time...and pulls it off with only a few minor hitches.
The world in this book (and the rest of the Incarnations of Immortality series, which I intend to read at some point) is much different from the world we know. In Zane's world, magic and science both work within society; it's a place where magic gems and flying carpets are just as prevalent as guns and planes. Magic is woven into the narrative and it is also integral to the plot of the story. Anthony uses it in a unique way--there are no limits to whether or not a person can use magic; everyone does it and they learn it in public schools along with other, more mundane subjects.
The main character, Zane, is a man with a problem--he's gambled his money away, has lost the woman he loved, and feels guilty for helping to end his mother's life. One night he decides to end it all, but, as he starts to pull the trigger, Death comes to collect him and Zane shoots him instead. Fate arrives to inform Zane that he's the new Death and that he better get on with collecting souls...because the fate of his own soul depends on how well he performs his job.
In this novel, just as science and magic intertwine, so does religion. God and Satan are very real forces, with Satan leading a PR campaign on Earth in an attempt to garner more souls. It is Death's job to collect and judge the souls that are completely in balance--half good and half evil--to determine whether they should go to Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory. Along the way, Zane meets the other Incarnations--Fate, Nature, Time, and War--as well as a high-level magician with a beautiful daughter, Luna, who wants Zane to take personal care of her when he's dead. Which is about ten minutes after Zane meets him.
The book moves quickly through his first few weeks on the job, juggling the responsibilities of Death with his new-found (possible) love interest, Luna, and a plot by the Father of Lies that could have harmful consequences for Zane, Luna, and the rest of the world if he isn't stopped. It's fast-paced with a decent plot and some well-developed and highly-likeable characters.
Zane is an Everyman who is thrust into a seemingly impossible situation whom the reader comes to like and root for as his story progresses. Luna, although somewhat of a wooden character, grows on you after a fashion. The other Incarnations, the little you see of them, are great characters who tie everything together nicely, answering all of the questions that the reader has at the beginning of Zane's ordeal. Satan is an interesting character, although a little predictable, and he doesn't have the uniqueness that books like Death: A Life or Hell give him. All in all, he's rather forgettable, to be honest.
I ended up really liking this book, but there were a few weakness that I feel need to be addressed. The first is the dialogue. Some of it was pretty decent, but a lot of it seemed very out of place in modern society. There were phrases that didn't quite mesh with the world that he was creating and that would have worked much better in a novel set in, say, the Middle Ages. A lot of the dialogue was also needlessly wordy. There were several soliloquies by minor characters (like the school nurse trying to explain to Zane why one little boy's soul had so much evil in it) that dragged on and were awkward to read. Much more could have been said in fewer words.
The second problem I had with this novel was how "issue-y" it was. In my review of Part Three of A Canticle for Leibowitz, I had complained that the book got too preachy at the end on the issue of assisted suicide. On a Pale Horse is preachy throughout its entirety, just at the opposite end of the issue. Piers Anthony is obviously a proponent of a person's right to die and I don't disagree with him. I'm a strong supporter of people's ability to choose to end their life or to designate themselves as a DNR in the case of an accident or other debilitating condition. But I don't appreciate being hit over the head with someone's viewpoint repeatedly...even if it's a viewpoint that I agree with. Way too much of this book was dedicated to the issue and it just became repetitive after a while. I was, frankly, bored with the topic by the time the book ended.
Other than that, I found this book to be an enjoyable read and an interesting new take on Death as a fictional character. Neither the dialogue nor the preachiness took too much away from the novel and the characters were likable enough that I'd be interested in reading the rest of the series.
I'm giving On a Pale Horse 4 out of 5 Gabriels.

We live in Rotterdam, which has one of the biggest ports in the world, but accully to reach the sea you have to drive around 35 km….what we do really often during the sumer days.
From Hoek van Holland you can see all the big ships and containers coming from all over the world, which is excited not only for a 2 year old! Believe me. I really like the character of this place, rough and different with a nice long beach. Today was really sunny and windy day, and we enjoyed a lot having a walk out there….

There aren't that many "stars" in video game voice acting, but Jennifer Hale is certainly one of them. Despite the fact that she's played leading roles in everything from Metal Gear Solid to Knights of the Old Republic, it was really the Mass Effect series that pushed her over the top. These days, whether I'm hearing her voice in Avatar: The Last Airbender or Diablo III, I'm really just hearing commander Shepard.
Minor BioShock spoiler follows.
I'd like to think that I can identify Hale's trademark delivery anywhere, but I have to admit I completely missed her appearance as a very important character in BioShock Infinite. It wasn't until the credits rolled that I realized that she played Rosalind Lutece, one of the oh-so-mysterious Lutece twins that Booker runs into many times over the course of his adventure in Columbia.
Just goes to show, a true professional voiceover actor can fade into the scenery when needed. It's worth taking another moment to watch this video reel and marvel at Hale's range:

A bombastic Chard, & not for the faint at heart
Description: Old gold in colour with an intense nose. This wine features lots of oak, ripe mango and pineapple, candy caramel covered apple (reminds me of the EX – Canadian Exhibition), crème brûlée and a touch of Grand Marnier soufflé. Full body average to good acidity and a fairly long length with the alcohol, a whopping 15.1%, is well integrated.
Negatives: More bark than bite.
Interesting Note: So the professional in me knows that this wine is lacking in the execution, but I am still intrinsically drawn to the flavour profile, especially with the food pairing.
Drink now or in the next 10 years (the fruit may come to the fore front) on its own or pair it with Snow Crab.

On The Dotted Line
Rather than silver, Randolph Van Ayers III was born with a platinum spoon in his mouth and plenty of strings attached. Faced with a list of specific goals he must achieve in order to earn control of his family's banking empire, he's accomplished each task and triumphed. One item remains on his list. He must marry by his thirty-third birthday and stay married for one year. However, when his so-called fiancée leaves him on the courtroom steps only hours before his deadline, he realizes he might lose for the first time in his life, and a Van Ayers never fails.
Taught to rely on the universe for answers, Willow Day has always struggled in the material world, specifically her lack of material. With her small holistic store near foreclosure and without a home, she must do anything within her power to make the business work and take care of the woman who raised her. When the rude, yet gorgeous, Randolph the Third offers to fix all her troubles in exchange for one year of her life, she opens her mind and takes a chance.
On The Dotted Line is a full-length (90,000 + Words) stand alone novel
It's the battle of the mystical over the money. Between a hidden pet who looks more like a cotton ball, performance artists with wings, and a woman who spouts advice like a living fortune cookie, everything from restaurant reservations to a trip to celebrate the winter solstice create clashes for the couple as they learn how to fit into each other's worlds.
With both their futures at stake, they must learn to accept reality, what the fates have dealt them and the consequences of falling in love from the moment they decided to sign on the dotted line.

Waiter to the Rich and Shameless: Confessions of a Five-Star Beverly Hills Server
Of the many millions of food service workers around the globe, only a tiny number ever ascend to a top-level position at a world-renowned restaurant catering to iconic celebrities, moguls and politicians. As one of those select few, Paul ("Pauli") Hartford is the first waiter to open the door into a cloistered, coveted world of money, fame, bad behavior and intrigue. He peels back the veneer of civility and culture at the nation's most preeminent celebrity hangout, the Cricket Room, in Beverly Hills, California. He exposes the epic human foibles of its elite clientele, the dining room's corrupt corporate culture, its clandestine culinary practices, and the heartbreaking struggles of its beleaguered waitstaff.
This keenly-observed story also traverses Pauli's ten-year evolution from a jaded, party-hungry rock musician who moonlights as a bartender, into a snobbish and pretentious waiter, and finally into a polished and sophisticated server who takes his job so seriously that it drives him to the brink of illness. Pauli finds himself at first seduced by his famous guests' glamour and self-indulgence, then accustomed to it, and finally appalled by it.
For obvious reasons, some details and specifics about the real Cricket Room have been cleverly disguised, but discerning readers will easily connect the dots.
