Police release information on Thomaston truck crash
Thomaston — Thomaston police released information Monday, July 9, on an incident where a commercial box truck hauling frozen bait rolled on its side Friday afternoon, July 6, at a busy intersection.
A 2012 International truck owned by Stone Cold Storage of North Yarmouth was heading north on Route 1 and was turning right onto Route 131 shortly after 3 p.m. Friday when -- two witnesses reported -- a car heading south on Route 1 turned left into the path of the truck, according to Thomaston Police Chief Tim Hoppe.
The load of the partially loaded truck shifted and the truck rolled onto the driver's side in the travel lane of Route 131 by the General Henry Knox Museum.
The driver, Kelsey Fenwick, of Topsham, was taken to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport for observation, but the chief said she did not appear to have any serious injuries.
The truck had been lifted and placed back on its tires by about 5:30 p.m.
The chief said the truck received significant damage.
The car that cut in front of the truck was not located and there was no detailed description of it, the chief said.
Well Steve as Emmett would say "never let facts interfere with a good story" Who really cares what kind of truck it is, just tell us what happened.
I stand corrected. I am not a truck expert. I should have asked someone at the scene.
It was toned out as an eighteen wheeler and Betts had his shoes on so he didn't bother to count the wheels.
Where ids the tractor trailer? This truck is a single axle straight job.

All images © Zaha Hadid Architects
At the end of last year, Zaha Hadid Architects unveiled their tower proposal for the city of Melbourne in Australia. The '582-606 Collins Street' Tower – ZHA's first project in Melbourne- is one step closer to receiving the go-ahead with construction as it has been announced that the scheme has been referred to Victoria's Planning Minister for approval without consideration by the city of Melbourne's Future Committee. Working with local-practice Plus Architecture and developed by Landream, the design of the 54-storey mixed-used tower features a façade composed of elegant colonnades of sculptural, curved columns. A delicate filigree gently envelops the building, with the scheme designed to use 50% less energy than a conventional mixed-use tower, this filigreed façade contributes to a reduction in the direct solar gain of the building and emissions.
Evolving from the city's distinctive urban fabric, the organization of the form is influenced by its mixed-use program, converting the building's overall volume into a series of smaller stacked 'vases'. Central to the concept is the break-down of the vertical volume by the design team to establish a coherent relationship between tower, podium and surrounding streetscapes. Additionally, each 'vase' gently tapers inwards to offer additional open space at its base. Within the proposal there is a significant proportion of the ground plane given over to public realm, with external area dedicated to a plaza accessible 24 hours a day.

Frequently Asked questions
Got questions? Please call or email! Otherwise, lots of useful information is right here.
What is a Home Inspection?
Our Home Inspections are visual evaluations of nearly 400 items of the house that affect the safety, condition and value of the home. We will take detailed notes and digital photos of all significant visible issues we encounter and provide a comprehensive Written Report upon completion. All of our Home Inspections follow the Standards of Practice (SOP) of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).
What can I expect from a Home Inspection?
A typical Home Inspection will last between 2-3 hours, depending on the size and condition of the house. If you are present for the Inspection--which is
encouraged--a brief summary of major points of emphasis will be given at the end of the Inspection, including any recommendations for further evaluation by qualified, specialized professionals for specific components, such as electrical, HVAC, plumbing, etc... Upon completion of the Inspection, we will generate a comprehensive and detailed Written Report which will be sent to you as soon as it is ready. The Written Report will typically be completed that day, or at the latest within 24 hours. Payment for services and signing of the Inspection Agreement will be necessary before the Written Report is made available.
What is Radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless and tasteless radioactive gas that is a product of the natural decay of uranium in our rocks, soil and water. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies Radon as a carcinogen--meaning, it can cause cancer. The EPA estimates that 21,000 deaths occur annually due to Radon exposure, and that 1 in 15 homes have elevated levels. Radon is typically in all of the air we breathe, even outdoors, but elevated levels are frequently found inside of our homes. Any home can have elevated levels of Radon, new or old, and in any area of the country. The only way to know the level of Radon in a home is to perform a Radon Test.
Radon Mitigation is the process of reducing Radon levels in your home. This is done with a Radon Mitigation System. A Radon Mitigation System is a physical change in the home that prevents Radon from entering and/or allows Radon to harmlessly escape once it has entered.
homes, no matter their age or condition, can be made safe from Radon using proper Mitigation techniques. The EPA estimates that most Radon Mitigation Systems cost between $800 and $2,500. Radon Mitigation requires specialized training and certification. Because of interest conflicts, Testing and Mitigation are done by different professionals.
What is Radon Mitigation?
Can't I do all of this stuff myself?
We don't advise it! Naturally, our opinion is biased, but there is sound logic behind it. Certainly, during a real estate transaction a Professional Certified Home and Radon Inspector (that's us) is called upon to provide an objective opinion that follows recognized professional protocols and standards. There's just no other way to do it. And while we applaud all DIYers, sometimes you just need to call a professional. There is absolutely no substitute for our professionalism, experience, training and knowledge. We are very good at what we do!
What if I have more questions?
Call us! Email us! We can't wait to hear from you!

•Abdulrazaq: PDP planning to unleash violence
Members and supporters of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State yesterday protested in Ilorin, the state capital, the recent redeployment of Kayode Egbetokun as the police commissioner.
They took the peaceful protest from the party's secretariat at Flower Garden to the Government House, the Department of State Services (DSS) office and terminated it at the police headquarters on Ahmadu Bello Way.
The protesters said they were angry at the posting Egbetokun to the state ahead of the general elections.
The protesters, led by PDP's State Youth Leader, Prince Haliru Dantsoho, carried placards with various inscriptions.
They urged Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Adamu and President Muhammadu Buhari to reverse the decision.
Some of the placards read: "CP Kayode must go"; "Kwarans totally reject an APC commissioner" and "Kwara cannot be annexed to Lagos."
Dantoso, who said the residents had never protested against deployment of any police commissioner, added that Egbetokun allegedly posed a threat to peace in the state.
He said: "Egbetokun was one-time Chief Security Officer (CSO) to APC Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Also, he was spontaneously rejected by people of Lagos when he was posted there recently and the deployment was reversed by acting IGP Mohammed Adamu.
"Unfortunately, the same man, who parades himself as an APC member, has now been posted to Kwara State. It's a ploy to further intimidate the opposition.
"You recall how members of opposition were arrested and harassed during the by-election into Ekiti Oke Ero Isin Irepodun Federal Constituency recently. So, with the deployment of Egbetokun, free, fair and credible elections cannot be guaranteed.
"It's on this note we frown at the deployment, calling on the IGP to immediately redeploy him to another state of their wish but not Kwara State. Kwara has been a peaceful state of harmony since. We don't want anything that will affect the peace and harmony we've been enjoying."
The Kwara State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, has accused the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state of planning to unleash violence on the opposition.
He urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to focus attention on the state.
In a statement in Ilorin, the state capital, Abdulrazaq hailed the ICC for its latest warning against violence in the forthcoming polls.
He said: "We welcome the latest appeal and warnings by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the upcoming Nigerian elections."
Abdulrazaq said there is need to pay attention to political development in the state.
"We believe elections should not be a do-or-die affair but should be about selling one's ideas to the electorate in an atmosphere devoid of violence or threat of same or intimidation.
"We have reasons to call on the ICC to especially turn its radar on Kwara State where the discredited political dynasty has consistently used violence to suppress the opposition. The recent rise in political violence, including attacks on my person and supporters and unabated destruction of our billboards, is instructive.
"We, therefore, invite the ICC to monitor the processes leading to the elections in Kwara State. My supporters and I hereby formally pledge peaceful campaign and conduct before, during and after the elections.
"We urge the people of Kwara to shun violence in all forms and discourage our youths from violence or anything that could disturb public peace."

One Light Self-Defense begins with a team of diversified individuals who share a common interest, as well as experience, in self-defense training. The group embraces a common vision to train, equip, encourage, and protect people as well as increase awareness about domestic and international abuse. While traveling to Kenya in 2009 to train girls from the slums of Nairobi, the team heard heart-breaking stories about the extensive cases of abuse, rape, and abduction happening in that community. While it was shocking, it was quickly apparent that these circumstances exist the USA; the American culture simply puts a cosmetic cover on it, looks the other way, excuses bad behavior, and heaps shame on victims.
One Light Self-Defense's primary action is leading self-defense workshops that are based on a release and run concept. Participants learn precautionary safety measures and physical defensive techniques to use when being attacked.
We, The Gathering Lighthouse, will empower the Girls of our Community with this class. It will be FREE for all WOMEN to attend.
Our Mission is dedicated to teach individuals self-empowerment; personal strength and leadership skills to use in all aspects of life

Tornado tears up LINCOLNSHIRE as Britain braced for summer of terror twisters
THERE are fears Britain could be gripped in a tornado storm this summer after shocking scenes of a twister sweeping through the Lincolnshire countryside.
Residents were stunned when a tornado appeared
Residents of the east Midlands county were shocked to see the weather phenomenon tearing across the skyline.
The spiralling column of wind swept across field and roads, picking up objects and spitting them back out.
Despite the dramatic spectacle, it is not thought to have injured anyone or caused any major damage.
But onlookers rushed to capture the freak of nature on their smartphones and it whizzed past.
The blustery event, stretching hundreds of feet into the sky, was first spotted in Spalding.
But it could be a regular occurrence on British shores, after officials predicted the UK could be the twister capital of the world.
Residents captured the bizarre weather
Britain is set to be the twister capital this summer
London and Reading have a 6% chance of being hit by a twister
London and Reading have a six per cent chance of being hit by a tornado this summer, while Bristol, Birmingham and Ipswich have a three per cent chance.
Britain is hit by roughly 34 twisters every year, and form when cold air collides during a storm.
Scientist Kelsey Mulder said: "People typically think of the US as a centre of tornadoes.
"But when you think of how huge the US is, there is only a small region which is hit by tornadoes."
Past tornados have wreaked havoc on British soil, with 19 people injured and £140m worth of damages caused when one struck Birmingham in 2005.
The following year, a twister racked up a £10m bill of destruction when it swept through Kensal Green.
Britain's peak tornado season is from May to October, with the highest recorded speed 157mph.
They typically last a few hours and are a quarter of a miles across.

Architects in the country have pledged to participate fully in national regeneration as a way of rebuilding the nation and contributing to economic development.
The President, Nigerian Institute of Architects, Mr Adibe Njoku, said the facets of regeneration could take the angle of urban renewal and regeneration propositions towards solving the country's social and economic problems.
Njoku, who spoke at the NIA's 58th Annual General Meeting and conference in Lagos, said the process would involve the search for and creation of solutions to these problems through regulating and improving urban environment among others.
"The theme of this year's conference, 'Architecture and national regeneration' can be likened to a rebirth or reinvigoration especially of declining urban areas; with measures put in place, in this case architectural works in the context of model best practices for necessary improvements of the economy.
A former President of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, Mr Sam Oboh, stated that architects were very important in every society as they could help improve the standard of living.
He said, "What we do or do not do have impacts on the people. As architects, if we consider the fact that the profession revolves around changing people's lives for good, we will take it more seriously. We all have a way of exonerating ourselves from things that are not going well. But what everyone should know is that architecture is an abstraction of societal values.
"We should pick at least one issue in our local community to address. We tend to design for economic value but we must begin to add value by designing for the good of the community. When life is enhanced by design, you help everyone.
"For instance, with the growing population of Lagos, architects cannot continue to plan with vehicles alone in mind. There should be provision for sidewalks for pedestrians. Such emphasis improves lives and by extension the economy."
He urged Nigerian architects to see themselves as very important professionals with so many lives to improve.
The 1st Vice-President of the NIA, Mr Sonny Echono, stated that ultimately, regeneration would improve lives through creation of environments that enhance health and wellbeing.
Echono, who was represented by the 2nd Vice- President, Enyi Ben-Eboh, said the regeneration would involve the commitment of a large number of stakeholders at different levels with the collective aim of relaunching the city and its economy to achieve set objectives.
At the conference, a book, entitled 'The creative entrepreneur' written by the Principal Architect and Founder of PCD Associates, MB Bello was also unveiled.
Architects, in their reviews, noted that the focus of the book was how to unlock the potential of entrepreneurs in the creative industry.

BBC Video - Stadium of Hate
This video from the BBC is one of the most horrifying contemporary clips we have ever seen. In it we witness the growing re-fascistization of Eastern Europe and the devolution of western civilization as the authorities look on, do nothing, and claim they saw nothing. This video was made in 2012. This clip is long - please watch the whole thing and share it. And then no one can say they didn't know.

Intimate in-Home Boudoir: Missy/
For Missy's boudoir session this winter, we wanted to mix it up with something fresh, yet cozy. When I saw the light in my bedroom that week, I thought YES! I'm all about decorating with as much white, clean space as possible, so she headed up to my little house north of Seattle for some understated, minimalism boudoir.

Ingrid Horrocks and Tina Makereti, on behalf of the NonfictioNOW 2020 Conference Steering Committee
Thank you for attending NonfictioNOW 2018 in Phoenix, Arizona
Thanks so much to all of you who joined us at NonfictioNOW in Phoenix. With 500 attendees from around the world, it was a memorable three days of conversation, listening and reflection. It was lovely to see many familiar faces and to welcome all the newcomers. We're so glad that the conference continues to be a source of new insight into nonfiction and all of the vital questions that are enmeshed with its making and reception.
Once again, we want to thank the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing, and Arizona State University, as host organizations, and the Phoenix steering committee, Angie Dell, Matt Bell, and Ashley Wilkins, without whose hard work none of it would have happened.

On the final evening in Phoenix, after the remarkable keynote presentation by Stephanie Elizondo Griest, we were thrilled to be able to announce that the next NonfictioNOW Conference will be held in December 2020, in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. Summertime in the southern hemisphere!

Many things/happenings annoy me in the supermarkets. One of which is the 'across the isle trolley person'. They stand staring at a shelf and instead of having their trolley nice and neat and next to them they have the fucking thing held in one hand at arms length splayed across the isle and totally blocking the isle in the process!
And then there's the people who meet someone they know and they stand chatting to said person two abreast again blocking the bloody isle!
And then there's the person who gets to the till and is about to pay and says 'oh I've forgot something' and wanders off!!
I try to avoid supermarkets and once successfully boycotted them for a whole year, but as I said: can't live with 'em can't live without 'em.

GB Boxing coach Paul Walmsley was in the corner throughout an amateur career that saw him go all the way to super-heavyweight gold at London 2012.
Joshua takes on IBF champion Charles Martin at the 02 Arena this weekend and if he wins, Walmsley said: "I might shed a little tear. I'd be that happy."
Joshua, 26, was a late comer to boxing and had not even watched it in 2008 when James DeGale stormed to gold in Beijing. But by 2012 he was the star of the show.
Now he is closing in on a world title after 15 knockout wins in 15 fights and could become just the second British gold medallist after DeGale to win a world title in the paid ranks.
It is a journey that started in Finchley Amateur Boxing club in Barnet but really took off at the home of GB Boxing in Sheffield.
"He walked into the gym and didn't want to come back because he apparently thought I was too military and too strict," he said.
"I remember the first day he came in and he was a bit sheepish and he was nothing like the kid I expected because of the stories I heard. I took to him straight away and the feeling was mutual.
"The very first time he came in on the development squad around 2009, I looked at him and thought 'what am I supposed to do with him'.
"He was a bit like a coal man with his stance, over the front foot, weight in the wrong place, but Anthony being Anthony he was just a sponge.
"He took everything on board you told him. He was always asking 'what about this, what about that?'. He was first in the gym, last out of the gym. He just absolutely lives and breathes the sport."
Walmsley is best placed to explain the 6ft 6in man mountain's stunning rise.
Critics claim his world title shot has come too soon and even Walmsley said: "I don't think this has been done before so quickly.
"That is Anthony down to a tee, if he gets his mind on something that is it. He gives it 100 per cent.
"If he was going to be a runner he would apply himself the same. He is thorough about everything and how he goes about it.
"He watches other boxers, listens, wants to know what other boxers do, what their coaches do, wants to go into detail into coaches and what they have achieved. He goes through everything with a fine-tooth comb."
Liverpool-born Walmsley knew he had a job on his hands when he first watched Joshua, but he also realised there was plenty to work with.
"There is always something when you see boxers like Anthony," he said. "It is like an aura, there is something special about this kid.
"He was destined for great things. He lights up the room when he walks in with his personality and there is something else about him, it radiates from him. That belief he will and can do it. He makes other people believe his belief. He is incredible."
There were worrying times along the way though.
Like when Walmsley took the call from the police after Joshua was arrested for possession of a class B drug in March 2011.
Or when Walmsley threw in the towel in the final of the European Championships a few months later as a hard-hitting Romanian went to work on the Englishman.
"I've been through so much with him," is all Walmsley will say about Joshua's brush with the law.
If he can deliver and hand Martin his first loss, Walsmley said: "It will be the icing on the cake for me.
"But I told him to do this for himself, he doesn't owe anyone anything. I love the man, I hope and pray that he does it on the night."

Make it rad: There's a new art collective in town, and the crew behind it isn't planning to politely insert themselves into the local scene. CityBeat's own Enrique Limón, and the two cats behind the band Lion Cut—Zoltron and Kittytron—are calling themselves Art Fist Collective and are on a mission to make art shows rad. They're getting things going with B-side, an exhibition of works by local musicians. "It's a ragtag cast of rock 'n' rollers," Limón says. "Some are established artists, but some will be exhibiting their work for the first time." The show includes art by music makers in bands like The Silent Comedy, The Locust, Smile Now Cry Later and more. It opens at 7 p.m. Friday, July 1, at Jett Gallery, 989 W. Kalmia St. in Little Italy. artfistcollective.tumblr.com
Small change: When you see Marianela de la Hoz's art in person, the first thing you'll want to do is get closer. Her work is extremely small, detailed and narrative, which means you'll have to lean in (we've been to a Hoz exhibition where magnifying glasses were provided). For Hoz's Metamorphores exhibition, opening Saturday, July 2, in the Parker Gallery at the Oceanside Museum of Art (704 Pier View Way), she'll be showing several transition-themed wall pieces plus a few assemblages and a mannequin sculpture she made just for the exhibition. Hoz will be at the museum for a "Meet the Artist" talk at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 30, and Metamorphores will be on view through Oct. 9. oma-online.org
Put a bird on it: Paint Night Group, a collective of artists who've met weekly for the last 11 years, has been working on The Bird Series Project since 2004. In the series, each piece of artwork starts with an image of a bird. That image is then passed on to other artists in the group. Each artist tweaks the image in some way, adding or subtracting or making minor or major changes. It's only when the group decides the piece is finished that the collaboration stops. From 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 2, stop by Re-Gallery (348 S. Cedros Ave., Suite H, in Solana Beach) to see the latest pieces. You'll find that the same image takes different forms, from a bird in business attire to an abstract creature. regallery.org
Dixieland of the free: Constitutional scholars and Revolutionary War historians agree: The Founding Fathers never intended Americans to celebrate our nation's independence on a Monday. So, lover of liberty, feel safe in your patriotism if you decide to wave the flag on Sunday, July 3, at Dizzy's at the San Diego Wine & Culinary Center (200 Harbor Drive, Downtown). George Washington crossed the Potomac to guarantee your right to drink, eat and dance to a marching band. In this case, it's barbecue, beer, wine and the eight-piece, New Orleans-style Euphoria Brass Band (featuring Drew Miller from KSDS 88.3- FM's Second Line Parade on bass drum) from 3 to 6 p.m. Cost is $5 for the show and $5 for a plate of red beans and rice with sausage or chicken. dizzysjazz.com
Special Events
Balboa Park social club: Cuban music, dance and food reflect a melting pot of influences—Spanish, Creole, African. Then there's that added something-you-can'tquite-put-your-finger-on that stems from the country's strange realities: Its government champions education and cultural development, yet human-rights abuses are widespread. But, if you go to the Tower After Hours: Cuba event from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, June 30, at the San Diego Museum of Man, you should focus on the positives. The evening includes Cuban cuisine, music by Dan Reagan and the Latin Jazz Quartet and dance from the Omo Aché Afro-Cuban folkloric dance company. Tickets are $20 and include access to the museum's exhibitions, including the just-opened ModeDay Mummy: The Art and Science of Mummification. museumofman.org
Bacon, beer and Britain: We'll bet you can't recall how Jason Statham became a movie action hero. It was his role as Bacon in Guy Ritchie's 1998 rollicking British crime film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels that did it. (Statham was working as a model when Ritchie found him.) If you go to Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens (1999 Citracado Pkwy. in Escondido) at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 6, you can find out how Bacon and his mates plan to raise £100,000 and avoid losing their fingers to nasty crime boss Harry "The Hatchet" Lonsdale, whose fixed card game is what gets the protagonists in their pickle. It's a supremely fun movie, particularly when washed down with a couple of pints, which is why you gotta be 21 or older to get in. stonebrew.com
The love of a good woman: Peer Gynt's reputation preceded him by the time he met Solveig, his main squeeze. Henrik Ibsen's dramatic poem paints him as a braggart, a thief, a con artist and the baddest practical joker in Norway— and on top of it, he never even helped his mom. His disaster-laden journey back to Solveig (including a scrum with some really smelly trolls who scare him straight) is so vast that it takes five actors to play him—but La Jolla Playhouse thinks it's up to the task. Judge for yourself at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 6, when the Playhouse, in association with the Kansas City Repertory Theatre, takes a very modern turn at Peer Gynt at the Potiker Theatre, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive. Or you can go now, as the show is in previews. $35-$69. lajollaplayhouse.org
Photo finish: There are two reasons art lovers should visit Mosaic Wine Bar (3422 30th St. in North park) this week, and neither has to do with mosaics. First, a little self promotion: From 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, June 29, we'll celebrate twodozen local photographers who made it to the later rounds in CityBeat's 9th Annual Photo Contest. Then, from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, July 2, Mosaic will host the opening reception for Fresh Faces, an exhibition of works by recent SDSU graduates Seren Moran, an artist who draws inspiration from her impulsiveness, and painter Ayad Almissouri, an Iraqi Kurd whose refugee portraits have earned him a place at the Chicago Art Institute. Photographer Erin O'Leary will also have photos on display.

Brazos County Cattle Baron's Ball
Posted By The Carlson Law Firm || 5-Feb-2013
We're always up for the challenge of raising money for amazing causes in our local communities and the Brazos County Cattle Baron's Ball was the perfect opportunity to do just that.
Benefitting and bringing attention to cancer research, advocacy, service and education, the American Cancer Society is a charity that people across the nation are familiar with but it's also a cause very close to attorney, Kathryn Knotts' heart.
"The Brazos County Cattle Baron's Ball is important to the community because all funds raised are used to help our neighbors, our friends and our family who are battling cancer," Bryan Attorney Kathryn Knotts said. "Whether it is providing money for a wig, travel expenses for patients traveling to MD Anderson in Houston, or medication expense assistance, the funds raised have a direct and profound impact on the patients and their family. Fighting cancer is a huge battle and places a huge financial and stressful burden on the families. If the funds raised can help lessen that burden some, then it is well worth the time and effort put forth to raise the funds."
Held on Saturday, February 2nd, the event featured live entertainment, dinner, dancing, live and silent auctions, games and prizes: all benefitting the American Cancer Society.
Despite a busy schedule as a personal injury attorney in Bryan-College Station, Kathryn Knotts lent a hand on the event's decorating committee and aided the auction with donated items.
"I wanted to participate in this particular cause in honor of my mother who has battled cancer," Knotts revealed. "When my mom was diagnosed, it affected not only her but our entire family. Thankfully due to early detection, a proactive approach and countless prayers, my mom has beat cancer. I am blessed to spend more time with my mom and wanted to show my appreciation by giving back to my community. Cattle Baron's Ball supports and raises funds to help those waging the same battle my mom did. I am thankful that we can support them and help them in this fight."

THE PRETENDER is a fly on the wall look at the inner workings of a typical NZ MP's office, 'The Pretender' follows the highs and lows, backroom machinations, and desperate measures of Team Plant as they attempt to navigate the dog eat dog world of governmental politics.
Disgruntled with his ineffectual back bench position with the National Party, Dennis joins forces with defecting Labour MP Joanne Williams to form the new political party 'Future New Zealand', and hold the balance of power. Dennis suddenly finds himself launched from virtual obscurity into the spotlights of the national media, though whether he'll survive it remains to be seen.
The Pretender is a smart, satirical and biting examination of our nation's leaders; the people behind them; and the jealousy, megalomania, fear, confusion, desperation, and occasional (generally brief) elation that mark another typical day at the office.

Ozaki, who works in the LAPD's vice squad, focuses his attention on obscenity-related matters.
Ozaki's transcribed testimony at the Stagliano trial included references that he travels to various adult entertainment venues and convention halls outside of the city of Los Angeles to "keep tabs on new lines of products" that may be of interest to authorities for future charges and indictments.
According to testimony, the detective said he first learned of Stagliano in 2007 at the Erotica LA show at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Ozaki said he later observed Stagliano at the 2008 Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas and that he visited Evil Angel offices in Van Nuys, where he shot photos of the facility and Stagliano's wife, Karen, entering the building.
All told, Ozaki testified that he had been to AEE five times, with porn star Aurora Snow even recognizing him.
Snow, who was at the four-day trial and wrote dispatches for AVN, even said that she is "almost sure" that she has signed autographs for the detective at adult conventions. Snow later said that she only reported the facts. "I was clear and concise with what I wrote on the subject as it pertained to the trial I was covering," Snow told XBIZ.
Snow continued that she was "surprised to hear how the LAPD spends tax money so consistently on porn-related materials in the name of 'research' when the city is reeling from recent budget cuts."
Even Richard Abowitz, who covered the trial for Reason, said Ozaki's revelation on monitoring the porn biz was appalling. "His testimony was outrageous," Abowitz told XBIZ.
XBIZ wasn't able to find out more about Ozaki or any other details of the LAPD's obscenity unit, including which venues he has attended in the past five years and a listing of travel-related expenses incurred by Ozaki during the commission of those investigations.
In several waves of email and phone correspondence, a senior public information officer for the LAPD told XBIZ, "We have to decline your request" for information and documents relative to Ozaki's duties.
Stagliano and his companies — Evil Angel Productions Inc. and John Stagliano Inc. — were charged with seven counts for illegal possession, distribution and sale of two videos sent through the mail — "Milk Nymphos" and "Storm Squirters 2 'Target Practice'" — and a trailer of "Fetish Fanatic Chapter 5" shown on the Internet.
Stagliano, 58, faced a maximum of 32 years in jail and $7 million in fines if convicted on all counts.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon in Washington on Friday said there was not enough evidence to continue the trial in Washington, tossing out all charges.

Well, I made it. We are at the official 6 week point of my tenure at the Stratford Festival supported by Theatre Ontario's PTTP, and the Ontario Arts Council. I arrived on February 20, 2018 and had no idea if I would enjoy the experience of being a student again. What was I thinking? I loved school, and being mentored by David Auster, the best producer at the largest theatre company in the country, is incredible.
On my first day at the Stratford Festival I was given a desk in the Director's Office. I was seated next to Ted Witzel (who is being mentored in Leadership by Artistic Director, Antoni Cimolino), a wonderful person to bounce ideas off of as they pertain to the intricacies of theatre production. The first couple of weeks had me sitting at my desk, kind of working on my own projects guiltily while waiting to hear from David or Bonnie. Eventually I realized that it made complete sense for me to continue building and nurturing my own projects while absorbing producing knowledge from my mentors.
I treat my mentorship like a full-time job, even though I've been told that I'm not obligated to be in the office every day. But I like the routine of working on something, anything, theatre-related every single day. It has served me well. Initially I would be pulled into meetings David would have with different department heads where they would discuss issues that I would have to figure out myself when I was producing a show: how far in advance to begin promotion, how much on-line, in print, and on what social media platforms; where will we source xyz if this is the cap on how much we can spend; how did we do last year compared to this year and what can we do differently? Like a sentient mushroom, I sit in the room, absorbing every nuanced discussion about the business of making art.
Since my arrival I have learned about Strategic Planning for the future, audience retention, marketing, how last year's sales compare to this year's, how important the 'Not in Our Space' initiative is to the company, and had an opportunity to observe the wardrobe and props department creating whimsy and magic out of textiles and zip ties. Everyone at the festival has made me feel very comfortable and welcome. My calendar is full of meeting invites from multiple departments so I'm not just getting an education in producing; I am getting a comprehensive overview of every area in the theatre that makes the season a success.
But let me be clear: I'm a black woman in a mainly all white space. I spoke up about diversity in a meeting 2 weeks ago and it was terrifying. I am not a Stratford employee and many of the people at the meeting were very important. Kamala Harris is a politician and lawyer serving as a junior US Senator. She is also black and been subjected to some of the worst dog whistle politics you can imagine in this current administration. On March 19, 2018 she wrote, 'My advice to black girls everywhere: whenever you find yourselves in a room where there are lots of people who don't look like you – be it a classroom, a boardroom, or a courtroom – remember you have an entire community in that room with you, all of us cheering you on.' I heard these words in my head when, heart racing and voice shaking, I spoke up; women of colour need to speak up in rooms where the marginalized rarely get a voice.
Jennifer Palmieri, communications director for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, and author of Dear Madam President: An Open letter to the Women Who Will Run the World, speaks to the fact that concept of women in powerful leadership positions in business and politics is still a radical idea for a patriarchal society. Adding race to that equation makes the obstacles seem even more insurmountable but I have been invited to sit in the rooms and asked to speak. I'm not in Strategic meetings out of politeness and I need to get over my own fear of sounding stupid or, heaven forbid, making people feel uncomfortable. Discomfort is useful, and if my presence disrupts spaces in a way that moves ideas forward then I will take advantage of this unique opportunity that I manifested for myself a year ago. Palmieri says it best, 'If you inhibit yourself, you're not just inhibiting yourself, you're robbing everyone else of your perspective, and if you don't look like everyone else, and if you're one of a few women in the meeting…your perspective matters more, not less.'
My last 6 weeks at the Stratford Festival will be about taking up space, speaking up, and going to the Swan Parade on April 8. I will conduct research in the mornings, brainstorm with administrative staff at lunch, and write in the evenings, making this the best idea I've ever had for my career as a theatre professional in Canada; I could not be happier.

An unmanned SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has exploded on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral in Florida during a test, destroying it and its payload, but there were no injuries, the private space firm said.
It is believed to have destroyed a $260 million satellite owned by Facebook that was intended to be the social media giant's first launch into delivering internet to the developing world.
A dense plume of black smoke filled the air following the blast. The US space agency NASA said the incident took place shortly after 9:00 am (11pm AEST).
"SpaceX can confirm that in preparation for today's static fire, there was an anomaly on the pad resulting in the loss of the vehicle and its payload," the company said. "Per standard procedure, the pad was clear and there were no injuries."
Brevard County Emergency Management said there was no threat to the public from the incident.
SpaceX, which is based in California, is headed by internet entrepreneur Elon Musk, who wants to revolutionize the launch industry by making rocket components reusable.
The company had successfully launched a Falcon 9 last month, sending a Japanese communications satellite into orbit and then landing the rocket on a floating drone ship.

Whizz, Pop, Bang! Science magazine for kids
Enter Whizz, Pop, Bang! Magazine. The first things I noticed were the quality of the paper and printing (nice and sturdy for repeated enjoyment) and the lack of adverts
The science news was inspiring and relevant to the kids, and I liked the pages in each magazine which feature the life and discoveries of a different scientist each month, including female ones - a group who traditionally have been left out of the history books. Having interviews with working scientists included in the magazines was a really good way of showing a range of different careers available and again contributed to the idea that everything is science - including making chocolate. There's even a section on the back page to add to my store of terrible science and nature jokes.
Kids are natural scientists and engineers and often they lose this as they get older and exposed to a misconception from school that everything to be discovered has already been discovered, or that science is boring and irrelevant. Resources such as this magazine are a vital way to address the issue and keep our science mad kids interested. It's also desperately needed as a resource at Primary School age where science is woefully under-represented in the curriculum. I think the usefulness extends to many kids in the early years of secondary school too, since when I taught 11 and 12 year olds they mostly had no science knowledge and this would be a good way to introduce it in a fun way. As a resource for family learning, whether as part of a schooled child's leisure time or a home educated child's 'school' time it's equally valuable. Finally, the issues contain seasonally themed information and activities, which all adds to the fun. I'm grateful to the folk behind it for putting so much hard work in producing it and getting it into print. I will definitely be subscribing for the boys.
NB: I requested the magazine for product review for my blog because I saw an advert on Facebook and it looked like a great concept. I'm really happy that the producers took me up on my offer and sent me all four currently in print as the magazine has far exceeded my expectations of a kids magazine. No financial incentive involved. Opinions and pictures are all my own.

We've got two secret single malts to announce today, one from Speyside and one from Islay. The distillery names shall not be mentioned at all, so please don't ask!
The first is long aged single malt from Speyside - our first ever batch from Speyside Distillery #1 is a 50 year old! That's right, this treacle-coloured malt has been slumbering for over half a century. Just 604 bottles were filled at 48.6% abv.
The second secret hails from Islay. It's our first batch under the Islay Distillery #3 label, but you may recognise the artwork... It's a heavily peated 7 Year Old, so you can expect plenty of those yummy medicinal notes here. Bottled at 49.2% abv, we've filled just 830 bottles.
These marvellous malts are available from fine retailers at the following recommended retail prices:
- Speyside Distillery #1 50 Year Old - £609.95
- Islay Distillery #3, 7 Year Old - £47.95
Off-trade/on-trade enquiries should be directed to our UK distributor, Maverick Drinks.

- Find your analytic connection string. All of the Azure Web Roles are found under - /sitecore/system/Modules/Azure . The naming convention from this point goes Azure Environment, Location, Delivery or Editing, Role, and Production or Staging. In the last item or in our case: /sitecore/system/Modules/Azure/
/West US/Delivery01/Role01/Production you will find the field "Connection String Patch". Inside here you will find the analytics connection string.
- Test on your CM. Since CM changes have the least amount of impact on your visitors, test out the connection string here first. On your local server open /App_Config/ConnectionStrings.config and swap out the analytic connection string. Test your reports, test front end if available.
- Update your other web roles. The same way you found your analytic connection string on the west coast, you will update the "Connection String Patch" on the east coast by following the item path: /sitecore/system/Modules/Azure/
/East US/Delivery01/Role01/Production
- Cleanup. Update your east coast web role to reflect your intent. There are two steps. First under /sitecore/system/Modules/Azure/
/East US/Delivery01/Role01/Production/Database References/analytics, point the "Database Id" field at the west coast database. Second, delete the analytics database item found under - /sitecore/system/Modules/Azure/ /East US/Delivery01/Sql01/Set01
- Release changes and test. Back in the azure tool, select the east coast location and "Upgrade Files". After a few minutes your Azure updates will be complete and you can test your site. In the case you are using the Traffic Manager to split traffic between locations (which you probably are in this case), you can go directly to this site instance by selecting the "Browse" option in the Sitecore Azure tool location menu option.
Sitecore Azure and the analytics database
Recently I was given the opportunity to release a site on to Azure. Overall I found the experience to be very pleasant. Once the install is in place, environment file, certificate, and the proper Azure MSI installs (in the documentation) are on your source server, the tool is fairly straight forward. Any author should be able to handle releases and updates with the out of box options. DMS is supported in version 3.0+, but I found some extra tasks are required that might not be as obvious to centralize your analytics database. By default. When you add a new Delivery Farm, the Sitecore Azure tool will spin up a core, web, and analytics database specifically for that role. Create another farm in another location and that will create another set of databases as well. In general having the core and web database separated out isn't a huge deal, but having a bunch of different analytic databases is a DMS marketers worst nightmare! You need one centralized analytic database. Before we centralize, lets take an example scenario. Your CM (Content Management) server is local and is acting as the source server where Sitecore Azure is installed and manages your Azure environment. Then we created a Delivery Farm (CD - Content Delivery) US - West and US - East. At this point we have a local analytics database and one at our west coast and east coast location. At this point you need to define where your primary analytic database will be located. It could be your local server database assuming the proper connection can be maintained. Alternatively you can pick one location on Azure. We have selected the US - West location. Here are the steps to updating.

My unwanted scrapbooking break is getting closer, I have packed my scrapbooking stuff and, though I've left some kits, I have no free surfaces to work on (I might work on the floor if I get withdrawal symptoms, though!!!). I'd like to share with you the alst layout I made for Practical Scrappers as a DT, for the embossing week challenge. I used pre-embossed core-dinations cardstock as the background.
I LOVE this layout, it is very simple and has lots of white space, but it has those nice details at the same time; I bought these butterfly post-its at the museum and did not know how I was going to use them at the time, I love how it turned out! Here are some close-ups:

I glance back in the mirror to the concrete bridge, the one I've boldly driven straight across without second thought, and I see truth reflecting back at me: Every time fear freezes and worry writhes, every time I surrender to stress, aren't I advertising the unreliability of God? That I really don't believe? But if I'm grateful to the Bridge Builder for the crossing of a million strong bridges, thankful for a million faithful moments, my life speaks my beliefs and I trust Him again.

And the earth under your feet, the rain over your face upturned, the stars spinning all around you in the brazen glory: this is for you, you, you. These are for you-gifts-these are for you-grace-these are for you-God, so count the ways He loves, a thousand, more, never stop, that when you wake in the morning you can't help turn humbly to the east, unfold your hand to the heavens, and though you tremble and though you wonder, though the world is ugly, it is beautiful, and you can slow and you can trust and you can receive each moment as grace.

Hi @McNabbGames — I went ahead and combined your thread with another seller's who had a similar question. I can assure you that we're always looking into more affordable hardware options for our sellers. As for the technical explanation, from my limited understanding (I'm not an engineer), each printer manufacturer has a specific driver for their hardware, and since manufacturers don't build printer drivers for Square Point of Sale, we would have to build one for each printer model – which is something we don't have the bandwidth to do.
The Star Micronics SM-S230i is light weight at only 7.7 ounces. It is small and easy to carry around. If you're someone who sell at a farmers market, craft fair or some other place where mobility is very important, the Star Micronics SM-S230i may be what you need. It uses thermal paper and connects to your iPhone, iPad with bluetooth or USB. Here is the user manual for the Star Micronics SM-S230i.
I have worked with Epson thermal and impact printers in bar and restaurant settings quite a bit over the last 7 years and they are generally pretty reliable so this early of a failure is rare. The TM-T20II is a relatively new model and certain things were done to make it more affordable but I believe they are using the same serial interface card (S01) that the TM-T88V models use.

It came very quickly and works great. The quality is awesome. These printers (we have purchased others over the years) last a long time. I have not had one single problem with them in the 7 years we have been buying these printers for our library. The receipt spits out faster than you can blink. I would definitely recommend this printer and the reseller.

Purchase receipt paper by the roll or by the case. There are two types of receipt paper on the market today: thermal receipt paper and plain receipt paper. Thermal paper is for use in receipt printers that use heat driven or thermal printing while plain receipt paper is best for any printer where the media is transferred to the paper. Dot matrix, impact and inkjet printers are examples of printers that transfer ink onto the receipt paper itself without the use of heat. Consult your receipt printer manual for the correct paper type for your printer.
You can print the self test using either single sheets or continuous paper. See Loading Continuous Paper for instructions on loading continuous paper, or Loading Single Sheets for instructions on loading single sheets.
Ethernet port: an Ethernet port a little more common these days, and is used for connecting to networks. If your EPSON printer is using an Ethernet port, it won't be plugged directly into your computer, but rather to a network router or switch. You'd select the "Create an Ethernet port" option if the port you're plugging into looks like this:

I have two businesses and both of them use these T20s, they are super fast printers. No more dealing with off-brand junk. This printer is the real deal and the auto cut works every time. I would purchase again for sure.
Thermal printers are faster and more cost-effective since they do not require ribbon replacement. On the other hand, dot-matrix printers can print on 2-ply paper. This allows you to keep a duplicate copy of the receipt. Thermal printouts also fade over time or when exposed to heat.
