Rhode Island, Like Planet, is Turning a Toxic Blue-Green as Climate Changes/
By FRANK CARINI
Rhode Island isn't a blue state. It's a blue-green one, in honor of toxic bacteria that regularly closes beaches to swimming and other water bodies to recreational fun and puts public health in jeopardy.
In fact, we can stop labeling states as simply red or blue. They're all turning shades of blue-green-red. Outbreaks of potentially toxic algae are rising sharply this summer in lakes, rivers, and streams across the United States, according to the Environmental Working Group's ongoing tracking of algae outbreaks.
The Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit has counted 144 algae outbreaks from California to the Northeast so far this year, compared to 169 in all of last year.
This pollution problem isn't restricted to fresh waters. Florida has been hit particularly hard by toxic algae this summer. A total of 267 tons of marine life, including 72 goliath groupers and a 21-foot whale shark, have washed up on Florida beaches since July, thanks to a catastrophic red tide.
Here in the Ocean State this summer the Rhode Island Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Environmental Management (DEM) have recommended that the beach at Larkin Pond Campground in South Kingstown be closed to swimming after high bacteria counts were found in the water. Two other beaches on the pond — Camp Hoffman and Kingston's Camp — were closed for the same reason.
Beaches at Echo Lake Campground in Glocester and Goddard Memorial State Park and the Kent County YMCA in Warwick have been off-limits to swimming.
The DEM has advised people to avoid contact with Mashapaug Pond and Roosevelt Lake in Providence. DOH has recommended the closing of Bonnet Shores Beach Club in Narragansett.
State officials have advised people to avoid contact with water from Turner Reservoir, Central Pond, Omega Pond, and the portion of Ten Mile River that flows between Turner Reservoir and Omega Pond.
In late July, the state agencies advised people to avoid contact with Slack Reservoir in Greenville because of a blue-green algae bloom. Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, can produce toxins, including microcystins, that can harm humans and animals. These blooms are nurtured by an overload of nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen that wash into waters from over-fertilized lawns, agricultural operations, and combined sewer overflows.
On Aug 10, Third Beach in Middletown became the 29th Ocean State beach, both fresh and salt, to be closed to swimming this summer. Some beaches, such as Camp Grosvenor in North Kingstown, have been closed more than once. A few, such as Briar Point Beach in Coventry and Kingston's Camp Beach, have been closed for more than 10 days this summer.
In moderation, algae provide balance for a healthy water ecosystem. However, climate change, nutrient pollution, development, and other manmade stresses are exacerbating a problem and causing blooms to develop earlier and stay longer.
A 2015 study found that humans are responsible for increased cyanobacteria growth.
Massive algal blooms, however, are just one of the many visible signs of global climate change currently playing out on the world stage: roaring wild fires out West; historic flooding up and down the East Coast; 12 tornadoes that stormed through central Iowa during one week last month; the number of "marine heat waves" roughly doubled between 1982 and 2016; Australia struggling with devastating drought; 21 of the world's 37 largest aquifers have passed their sustainability tipping points; a sixth mass extinction has seen billions of populations of animals lost in recent decades.
These happenings are a collective harbinger of the new normal.
A study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences examines potential climate feedbacks that could push the planet into a "hothouse" state.
According to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2018 is on pace to be the fourth-hottest year on record. Only three other years have been hotter: 2015, 2016, and 2017.
Another recent study, published in IOPscience, suggests that to avoid a 2-degree Celsius global increase in temperature all existing proposed fossil-fuel power plants must not be built.
"Even if all currently planned projects are immediately suspended, up to 20 percent of global fossil-fuel generation capacity would still have to be stranded (that is, prematurely decommissioned, underutilized, or subject to costly retrofitting) if humanity is to meet the climate goals set out in the Paris Agreement," according to the IOP report.
The governor may have signed an executive order last year "reaffirming Rhode Island's commitment to the principles of the Paris Climate Agreement," but the Ocean State certainly isn't doing its best to address climate change.
The passing of environmentally friendly bonds, the building of the nation's first offshore wind farm, handing out grant-funding morsels for environmental projects, and a fractured system of protecting open space aren't enough, not even close. Rhode Island, with its advantageous size for implementing real change, keeps punting its responsibility into the future. It's not a fair catch.
Anthropogenic climate change has exposed the foolishness of human neglect of the natural world. It's way too late for timid responses like executive orders. Our selfish actions — individually, collectively, and politically — are creating a dystopian future. Many of these current and future manmade catastrophes could have been avoided with some foresight and sacrifice.
Human well-being and economic prosperity are tethered to nature, but modern humans have never acted like they are. Variety and abundance of life are the fundamental necessities of a habitable planet. Life can't prosper on a sphere filled with humans, livestock, ticks, rats, mosquitoes, and jellyfish, and covered with over-fertilized soybean fields and overfished oceans.
Here in Rhode Island, a job plan focused "on putting cranes in the sky" is a cliche not a solution, especially when much of the development ignores the state's acres and acres of already-disturbed areas and instead cuts further into forests, wetlands, farmland, and other open space.
Jobs are important, but they become meaningless if the planet is burning. The growing flames of climate change are being fanned by the building of stuff we don't need in places that weaken ecosystems and jeopardize public health. We can put people to work building things in places that make economic, societal, and environmental sense. But it takes some sacrifice. We're not good at sacrificing. It's too hard.
The beginnings of the Industrial Revolution and Rhode Island's past as a costume-jewelry-manufacturing juggernaut are remembered fondly for the jobs that were created. What is largely forgotten is that the pollution, contamination, and environmental degradation created during this revered jobs explosion helped pave the way to our current situation.
The soils of productive landscapes have been turned to dirt. Groundwater has been drained beyond the reach of roots. There's barely a ripple in once-rich fishing grounds. Gyres of plastic marine debris are expanding. Bays, estuaries, and deltas have been choked of life. Rivers and lakes are turning a toxic blue-green. Brownfields and Super Fund sites have left behind toxic legacies. Fields, forests, and wetlands have been replaced by lawn and pavement.
Biodiversity is diminishing, and along with it our chances to adequately address the impacts of climate change before it's much too late.

Today, many simple and practical business stationery through the careful design, into a myriad of different, style novel, features many of the "toy of" stationery.

Cap decorated with a variety of cartoon images of the pen, light up the pencil sharpener, can be deformed foot, with music, writing case … … in the vicinity of a primary school in Wuhan, a stationery shop, I saw several of these stationery Let's an eye-opener, even after asking them to make sense of "mystery."
It is understood that these "alternative," the practicability of stationery is not strong, but in terms of form or additional functionality point of view, they all have gimmicks to attract children. This stationery, replacement very quickly, with the trend of change, the children have frequently replaced with your own stationery.
Stationery entertainment features with a gradual increase, their prices have gone up. After a brief glance at the stationery counter, both the nature of the stationery, toys, generally high price: 30 yuan general stationery, made a house, car and other shaped pencil sharpeners in more than 30 yuan, the most common student should be around 60 per bag, up to several hundred dollars higher, a vivid design, can play the rubber when the Cube actually sold more than 20 yuan.
In fact, the general price in all types of stationery stationery store is not the lack of a common pencil 0.5 yuan, 0.5 yuan a pencil sharpeners, ruler a 1 yuan, 5 yuan a writing case, pencil 2 yuan 1. However, these affordable stationery rarely attract the buyers. Sales staff told reporters, feature many, look pretty good in the high-end stationery not only sales, and profits high, businesses are willing to sell such stationery.
"Alternative" more harm stationery
Wuhan stationery counter in a mall before, is the third grade of Zhao head up to the mother, Ms. Lee said: "I have a student can play chess, there is also a small Games The writing case, I want to buy one! "" Buy it, the stationery is expensive; not to buy, the children did not feel that students in the face, do not concentrate on their studies. "Although too anxious, but the face of his son's plea, Ms. Lee took out hundreds of dollars or a high price to buy stationery.
Increasingly popular high-end stationery to face the wind, as many parents and Ms. Lee into a dilemma, one side is looking forward to the eyes of children, one side is the increasingly heavy financial burden. "Other children have, if he is not, certainly will have inferiority complex, learning and growth are negative, as long as the requirements are not particularly excessive, parents are generally satisfied." Ms. Li said.
However, these stationery is true, as parents, as expected, allow children to feel at ease to learn it? Wuhan Yucai school teachers Liqin Yu said that the child has a playful nature, easily attract fancy things, self-control is relatively poor, such school stationery for students desertion, each class comparisons of the "culprit."
In addition, the reporter interviewed also found that a lot of lollipops, hamburgers look like rubber, the existence of a suffocating smell the aroma. In this regard, experts advise all parents in the purchase of stationery, make more from the child's safety, health point of view, especially for young children, should avoid contact with such as stationery, so that bacteria enter the mouth, diarrhea caused disease.
To create a healthy learning environment for children
Many teachers complained that, while many schools expressly prohibit students go to school with bizarre stationery, but with little success.

You'll always want to ask how long the company has been in business in Phoenix. While this isn't a guarantee that the company will do good work, companies with longevity on their side must be doing something right. That being said, there are newer companies that do great work. If the company is under three years old, ask where the owner was employed before and for how long. If he/she has a long history of employment, it's reasonable to infer that he or she decided to go into business for themselves after so many years of experience.
This is important mostly for larger jobs. Clearly a two man operation is going to build a home much slower than a 15 man crew. This is also a good indication of the overall size of the Cooling company, if that's an area of concern for you. The reason you may want to ask about the fleet is that fleet size is a good indicator of the mobility of the company. Mobility may not sound important, but it's hard for the Phoenix contractors to get to job sites if they lack appropriate vehicles.
Always ask for references, and always check them. Keep in mind though that the only references you'll get are people who the contractor is certain will give him a good review. You'd also be well advised to check online review sources in Phoenix as well, which will give you a broader view of customer satisfaction for a given company.
The question is great for some industries and non-applicable for others. A general contractor, for example, will by definition employ subcontractors. Most Phoenix Cooling companies do not, but there are exceptions. You should always ask this question to your service providers. If they do use subcontractors, ask if they're all licensed and insured independently.
This really only matters if you have a preference, but it is good to ask. If you have a strong ideological belief about unions or nonunions, it's perfectly acceptable to make a decision based on the preference.

Bobbie and Marty had been in their home since the early 1980's and decided it was time for some updates. We took on the kitchen, two bathrooms and a powder room.
The layout in the kitchen was functional for them, so we kept that pretty much as is. Bobbie wanted a contemporary-leaning transitional look — nice clean lines with a gray and white palette. Light gray cabinets with a slightly darker gray subway tile keep the northern exposure light and airy. They also purchased some new furniture for their breakfast room and adjoining family room, so the whole space looks completely styled and new. The light fixtures are staggered and give a nice rhythm to the otherwise serene feel.
Bobbie and Marty were not 100% sold on the flooring choice for little powder room off the kitchen when I first showed it, but now they think it is one of the most interesting features of the design. I always try to "push" my clients a little bit because that's when things can get really fun and this is what you are paying for after all, ideas that you may not come up with on your own.
We also worked on the two upstairs bathrooms. We started first on the hall bath which was basically just in need of a face lift. The floor is porcelain tile made to look like carrera marble. The vanity is white Shaker doors fitted with a white quartz top. We re-glazed the cast iron tub.
The master bath was a tub to shower conversion. We used a wood look porcelain plank on the main floor along with a Kohler Tailored vanity. The custom shower has a barn door shower door, and vinyl wallpaper in the sink area gives a rich textured look to the space. Overall, it's a pretty sophisticated look for its smaller fooprint.

Numb from the chest down, "What the hell is wrong with me" I asked myself.
In 1998, at the age of 30 my life took another unexpected turn. I woke up one morning and couldn't feel anything from my chest down. I could move just couldn't feel my skin, everything was numb. Well something was defiantly wrong. With the help of some close friends I was able to get myself up and to the doctors. My Dr. instantly recommended that I go see a Neurologist. So the testing begins. About a week or so later I knew what was wrong. MS! At the time I thought my life was over.
It was recommended that I contact the National MS Society to see what type of education and help I could receive.
I have now been dealing with this disease for 20years. My life has improved over the years since I was first diagnosed. I have my MS well under control. I have a successful career, some great hobbies and best of all a very supportive family and a great group of friends.
"I will not let MS control my life. My personality, character, and accomplishments are what people will remember me by, not my disease."

BIG John Gayle couldn't resist a dig at Big Ron Atkinson after his Wembley heroics.
But little did the Blues striker know that a deal was being agreed for his cross-city sale as he was basking in the Leyland DAF Cup triumph.
Gayle's two brilliant goals had helped down Tranmere Rovers in the 1991 final, and Atkinson, working for television as a co-commentator, was suitably impressed.
"At our semi-final at Brentford, Ron Atkinson was doing Sky and giving me a bit of stick," Gayle remembered.
"He was there again at Wembley for television and after the game when we were going round with the trophy, I spotted him.
"He started waving at me but I was just giving him loads, I was flashing the 'V' at him and shouting 'yeah, you fat t***'!
"Chic Bates turned to me and said 'what are you doing?'
"Next thing I knew, when we got back inside (to the banqueting suite), Lou Macari came over and said 'I need a word'. He had Samesh Kumar behind him – and Ron was there, too.
"I was like 'what?' I sat down with Ron and he asked me whether I was interested in coming to Villa.
"Again, it was 'what?' – I had just been giving him the 'V' and telling him where to go."
Atkinson was soon to be installed as Villa boss from Sheffield Wednesday and a £900,000 transfer had been agreed in principle.
Hard-up Blues were ready to cash in on their Wembley hero.
Gayle was in a quandary. It had come out of the blue and he needed space.
Atkinson – who memorably wondered on the commentary what Gayle ''was taking'' to score such a superb winner – told him to go away and think about it.
Gayle spent a few days in Weymouth with family and his head was spinning.
While Gayle was there, Sheffield United manager Dave Bassett also made contact and said he wanted to sign him. "If I had gone across the road to Villa, it would have shattered what I had done at Blues," said Gayle.
"I just didn't think it was quite right for me to go there. I didn't think it was safe for me in any case.
"Harry came in as well, but I felt I had loyalty to Blues, and I was eager to see what we would do after winning the cup."
The decision was taken out of Gayle's hands anyway when he ruptured his Achilles tendon during a run while on his break.
It took him 18 months to recover properly and he ended up leaving Blues in September 1993 for Coventry City.
"It was a shame what happened after the final," he said. "Not just personally but to Blues."
Lou Macari left for Stoke City and Vince Overson slapped in a transfer request and followed him.
"When Lou came in he gave us a lifeline," said Gayle.
"He turned a group of average players into good players. He made us stronger, physically and mentally, and he got extra out of people to play above themselves.
"We had a lot of different personalties in that team but we all gelled together.
"When someone asks, I always say the best time I had was at Blues.
"It was just a shame that we didn't go on from that final."
Terry Cooper was brought in to replace Macari and the next season, 1991-92, Blues won promotion from the old Third Division.

With my first baby, feeding was the most challenging part of my early parenting journey. I battled to breastfeed and persisted against the odds until 6 months, but not without many hours of tears and anxiety. Once solids were introduced, I shifted that anxiety to how much James would eat. It was only when our wonderful nanny took over mealtimes that James' eating settled into a more pleasant experience. I realise looking back that the emotional energy I put into each meal was not good for our relationship or his early feeding experience.
Working with moms and having my daughters has taught me so much about how the emotions at meal times are a critical part of the equation.
Weaning Sense is as much about nutritious recipes as it is about relationships and emotions. Looking back, these are the three things I wish I knew:
It won't be perfect "Like mealtimes, parenting is a messy affair. Flexibility is the only way to make the journey fun and manageable. You set yourself up for failure when you expect perfection in any parenting task. Your baby is perfectly imperfect and so are you. You will fail and then repair the failure and he will recover and that is the foundation of resilience."
Calibrations don't count "The clinic scale' measuring cups, formula scoops and mls on a feeding bottle are not your friend. The real measure of whether your baby is thriving is his mood, whether he connects emotionally with you and if he appears to be thriving (not measured but perceived by you)."
Slow down "With a baby, the days are long but the years fly by. Don't rush each stage. When he starts to eat, follow his lead and amble down the weaning path – don't rush towards the next feeding phase."

The AE100 is a classic two-way compact stand mount / bookshelf loudspeaker. The AE100 has been designed to achieve high sound pressure levels from a compact enclosure. Utilising a 4 inch paper cone bass driver with a high power long throw motor system., This is coupled with a 25mm soft dome high frequency drive featuring Acoustic Energys' wide dispersion technology. The drive units are housed an ultra rigid cabinet manufactured from 18mm MDF. To avoid noise created by air travelling through the reflex port a rear mounted slot design has been used. This also allows for very easy room placement.
The AE109 is a 2.5 way bass reflex floor standing loudspeaker akin to the original AE109. Housed in a elegant slimline cabinet the 109 has been designed to offer effortless room filling performance. The AE109 utilises two 4 inch paper cone bass drivers coupled with a 25mm high dispersion dome tweeter. Extreme care has been paid regarding the phase and time alignment of these drivers to produce the most cohesive musical performance possible. Again the cabinets have are constructed of 18mm MDF resulting in a very rigid enclosure and with the use of a rear mounted slot reflex port room placement is very easy
Both loudspeakers are available in Satin Black Ash or Walnut finish.
Equipment used: Rega Apollo CD Player, Rega Brio 2016 Amplifier, Rega Couple interconnect, Chord Sarsen Speaker Cable.
In a world populated with so many little bookshelf speakers do we really need another? Well the answer is a resounding yes! Acoustic Energy have well and truly moved the goal posts with these little £200 stand mounters. First I thought I would test them out with Get Miles the first track off the first Gomez album Bring It On and the sound-staging on them was surprisingly large and the deep rolling bass guitar really did plumb depths not normally reached by speakers of this size and price. I then fancied trying something a little more acoustic and found a copy of David Sylvian's Brilliant trees that I have not played for a while and again the AE100's acquitted themselves beautifully. I got the real sense that I could hear everything in the mix and they did not get shouty or boxy and I didn't want to stop the music playing at all. After a while I played a little classical music courtesy of the Allegri String Quartet with added Clarinet from James Campbell. This album was released on the Naim label and was mastered by the legendary Julian Vereker and on the AE100's sounded lush and engaging. All the instruments clearly distinct from each other yet intertwined with each other to perfection! It is great to have Acoustic Energy back and sounding so good......move over Wharfedale and Q Acoustics I have a new favourite entry level speaker! Oh and they look gorgeous too with their curvy top corners and bases..... a must listen to at or around this price! Satin black finish is £230.00 a pair and Walnut wood effect are £200.
After the very pleasant surprise of the AE100's I was expecting great things of these £500 floor standing speakers (£550 in satin black). They do not disappoint having all the good attributes of the AE100 but offering a much bigger sound. The Gomez track (Get Miles) sounding really juicy! Classical also benefited from the extra scale that the AE109 articulate with it's larger cabinets. The Allegri String Quartet bounced along with extra everything!! A great speaker with more than a cursory nod to the legendary Acoustic Energy speakers of old. Nice to have them back!
A demonstration is highly recommended.
We look forward to seeing you. Bring some of your favourite music and sit back and relax in our dem room and we'll bring you a cup of your favourite beverage.

The Great Granite State Suck-Up
To win New Hampshire, you have to win Renee Plummer. Which is why Walker, Paul and Bush are calling, flattering and schmoozing an obscure real estate developer (and 100 other activists like her).
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Seated at her desk, perched behind two bulging Rolodexes, a woman in an orange-pink scarf looks up and hollers out the door at her assistant.
"I have cones out front so he can park," she says, then adds, under her breath, "He can't park in my spot. I don't care who he is."
Story Continued Below
He is Scott Walker, governor of Wisconsin and an early front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, and he is on his way for lunch.
The owner of the parking spot, and the buildings around it, is Renee Plummer, vice president of Two International Group and one of the people in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, who makes things run.
Plummer and her husband, Danny, are members of a small club of Republican activists — about 100 in all — who hold the keys to the New Hampshire primary, and thus, perhaps, the White House. Their power derives not from their checkbooks but their address books — the people they know and influence — and their encyclopedic knowledge of the local political terrain. To tap this power for their own advantage, the members of the largest and most competitive primary field in recent memory are waging a behind-the-scenes campaign of flattery — handwritten notes, personal visits, elaborate meals, emotional phone calls, drives through the countryside and sometimes even sleepovers.
Winning Renee Plummer's endorsement means coming to a bland conference room in an office park near the Portsmouth International Airport and over a lunch of sandwiches fielding questions from business owners, military veterans and anyone else from Plummer's sprawling regional network who feels like dropping by. Rick Perry's been here. So has Rand Paul. So has Lindsey Graham.
On this Friday morning in mid-March, Plummer, 62, is fussing with her assistant about which women they can seat next to Walker. Why prioritize women? "Because I can," she says, smiling. "Because this is my show, and I can."
She bids farewell to her husband, on his way to a meeting, and shares her candidate criteria.
"I want to see how he conducts himself," she says. "I want to feel him, you know? I want to see how presidential he can be, you know? See how quick he answers questions."
On the issues, she has one preoccupation right now. "It's really going to be ISIS," she says, referring to the group also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. "You tell me how you're going to protect me and my family."
By noon, the guests — friends and tenants of the Plummers — are streaming in. Former Sen. John E. Sununu is among them. Andy Leach, a former Sununu staffer, has recently signed on to Walker's New Hampshire campaign. Is the presence of Leach's old boss a sign that the Sununus, the state's Republican dynasty, favor Walker?
"I'm here for Renee," Sununu insists.
Some people, like Sununu, are born into the club of New Hampshire's top-tier activists. Others, the many former officeholders who fill out its ranks, are elected. Plummer, on the other hand, got in simply by being Plummer.
Renee Salerno grew up in Westchester County, just outside of New York City. Her family, Sicilians, had moved there from the Bronx. (She still returns from visits to New York with hunks of imported cheese and cured meats.) As a teenager, she worked at a McDonald's, but some friends made fun of the uniform and she quit. Later, she took work that better suited her style at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, where she learned event planning.
She moved to New Hampshire in 1982 with her first husband, a doctor, and their young daughter. The next year, she gave birth to another daughter, Jennifer, who died within days. As she emerged from mourning, Plummer felt compelled to act. She determined to throw a winter "Snow Ball" as a fundraiser for the parents of infants in the neonatal unit at Exeter Hospital. Plummer and her ball made quite the splash with the good people of New Hampshire's Seacoast. "I don't think anyone had seen a gown like I had because it was so …." She trails off, searching for the right word to describe the strapless gold-and-black getup, "New York."
The newcomer had trampled on the turf of the New England matrons who ran the hospital's annual fashion show fundraiser. "I frankly did not care," she says. The ball was a success, and within a few years, she was chairing the fashion show, too.
She got together with her second husband, native son and developer Danny Plummer, in 1998, and the pair embarked on an ambitious development of 850,000 square feet of commercial space on 75 acres of the former Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth. As tenants lined up — over 200 businesses in all — Plummer threw herself into local institutions and causes, particularly on behalf of veterans. "You would risk your life to protect me, and you don't know who I am?" she says. "I love you."
Plummer insists she's not particularly political, but she is a Republican, and she took to the local pastime, supporting the primary bids of Bob Dole in 1996, George W. Bush in 2000 and John McCain in 2008, the same year she and Danny tied the knot.
Along the way, as their network and the reputation of their parties grew, the couple became members of the unofficial club of the state's top-tier activists, gatekeepers to the nomination.
This election cycle, Plummer's conference is already a well-worn campaign stop, but she has performed her gatekeeping role on the road as well. Last year, Rick Perry brought Plummer and her husband to Austin for dinner at the governor's mansion. "He's just a kick," Plummer says of Perry. "Extremely charming," adds John Lyons — a tenant of Plummer's and a veteran of McCain's and Tim Pawlenty's New Hampshire efforts — who attended the same dinner, fielded a phone call from Bush in January, and has heard from another five candidates. Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina are on Plummer's luncheon calendar. Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and even Donald Trump have been invited.
But today the guest of honor is Walker, who arrives in a navy sweater. ("I told him to wear that," Plummer confides later. The next day, the sweater will make headlines when Walker tells a crowd in Concord he bought it at Kohl's for a dollar.) Fashion choices can be tricky, though. Another Sea Coast activist who is being courted by six campaigns, and spoke on condition of anonymity, bemoans the recent trend of dressing down for campaign stops in New Hampshire. "If you're up north, that's fine," she says. "But if you're coming to Portsmouth, and you're meeting with all business people and you show up in your plaid sweater, that really annoys me." The activist can afford to be picky. In recent weeks, she's received handwritten notes from Christie, Rubio, and former Hewlett Packard CEO Fiorina, whose name she pronounces "Fiorino."

Flights from San Francisco (SFO) and Los Angeles (LAX) to Stockholm (ARN) and Edinburgh (EDI), via Iceland – Primarily based on lowest one-method fare, per individual, incl. Undaunted by the reports of malaise affecting the global airline industry within the publish-crunch era, Mr Mallya didn't amass an unlimited fortune (he owns United Breweries, which produces such manufacturers as Kingfisher and Whyte & Mackay) by taking foolish possibilities.
For starters, SilkAir will supply 5 flights a week to Hyderabad towards the present three being provided by Singapore Airways. When seeking information about flight airline the outcomes can appear extraordinarily overwhelming. Sometimes people get into a rut by using journey companies or depending only on the low cost travel websites to seek for cheap airline tickets. Here is the newest shocker involves defraud the government in collusion with travel agents who have been sending forged airline tickets can not just government officials. Africa tourism took a success during the Ebola scare, but new airline routes and burgeoning infrastructure are making the continent more accessible than ever. It'll ensure you pay a reasonable price for the hardship airline tickets, there are any alterations you want one. Getting a last-minute booking for an airline flight is the most important trouble to face.
On Priceline's affirmation e-mail, you will find your 6 character Confirmation Code in the Airline Confirmation Numbers part, instantly beneath the Flight Numbers part. Lots of whom will select Emirates for their customers you can into the airline tickets houston of apparatus on your photo shoots. Until then, the airline has introduced cancellations of 15 international and 137 domestic flights throughout the community. Flights from Miami (MIA) to Frankfurt (FRA), London (LGW), Amsterdam (AMS) and Paris (CDG), via Iceland – Based on lowest one-way fare, per person, incl. You may easily find and e book your airline tickets on the final minute of your time. Korean Air, the largest airline of South Korea, already serves Mumbai with three weekly flights from Seoul Incheon and is expected to function a minimum of three weekly flights to Delhi.
This low cost is simply relevant to flights between airports on the Spanish mainland and islands (except for the residents of Ceuta, who can profit from discounts on flights between Seville, Malaga or Jerez and other Spanish mainland locations). Trump Airlines launched in 1989 and supplied hourly flights between Boston, New York City and Washington D.C. Historically airline routes should skirt around patches of airspace reserved for army use.
On 23 June 2008, the Sudanese CAA introduced grounding of Sudan Airways citing the provider's failure to take corrective meassures following an audit of the airline. Flight Network is the largest travel company that's both owned and operated in Canada, and we love serving to Canadians like you find low cost travel offers! I've seen Singapore a number of methods for booking the hardship airline tickets while you buy a number of varieties of bags, you possibly can calm down, unwind and get ready for the hardship airline tickets of your flight. Scandinavian airline SAS mentioned passenger traffic rose eight.5 percent in September from a 12 months earlier whereas its yield in the month was seen coming in adverse, in line with the previous month. Business specialists advise on booking open jaw flights to make sure a low cost of the journey.

OK now, where was I? ABC-Along I is for...
Time flies when you're busy. At work, it's prom time.
When I last posted, I gave you a sneak peek of a little girl sweater. I still haven't finished the pattern, maybe later today. The yarn , again, is Aussie Sock. Main color is Spanish Fiesta. Contrast color is Cherry Tomato.
I finally finished the Christmas socks for my Son. If he reads this blog, I hope he forgets by Christmas. The yarn is Regia 4-ply in short colors. The leg is an adaptation from Charlene Schurch's Sensational socks book. I worked an 8 row pattern, she wrote it as a 12 row pattern. I may try it again, her way.
Our guild has a toy competition in May,
with the toys being given to charity. I used a pattern from a New Zealand woman's magazine. It has lots of pieces to be sewn together, but I don't see any other way to do this one. I sewed a little and stuffed a little, and it turned into this! I had a little trouble, because I was missing one of the braid ends. I reknit it. It still hasn't turned up.
I'm knitting the Rainbow socks by Susanne Kitzmann, which originally was on Mag Knits. I don't know where the pattern is now. I using Kroy Socks in a Stripes pattern.
Prom time - I have a few pictures. This prom dream started with a green dress and a picture.
We also did a vest and tie for her date.
I is for Intarsia. The picture is the back of the SWAK Knitter's Vest. I loved it the minute I saw it, but it didn't fit my budget. One Christmas, DH and I exchanged catalogs, with wish list markings. I had marked this vest. He ordered it from patternworks. When I opened it, I pulled out the pattern and he said something about green yarn being back ordered. I was mystified. The pattern was for the 12 Days of Christmas, a cardigan. I loved that too. Sweetheart that he is, he contacted patternworks, explained the problem, and ordered the yarn for the Christmas sweater too. I quickly finished the vest and wear it often. It won Best of Class at the Ohio State Fair one year. It took 6 years to finish the other sweater, but I wore it last year. Pictures of the cardigan are on Flickr.

Interest Rates To Hold Steady...For Now
At least for now. A Market Watch article by Greg Robb. The Federal Reserve has been pretty consistent at keeping the rates low....their target goal remains 5.25%. I gather what was intriguing about this is that the concern for inflation has still not translated into a change in Federal Reserve Policy - which has stayed the same since August 2006 and earlier.
Translated, to me, it means the FR feels our market will recover on it's own without a need for tweaking on their part. To read more about the Market Watch coverage of this new development, go here.
For those of you who are stock and Market wonks, here is Market Watch's 'take' on Ben Bernanke and his style compared to Alan Greenspan. Apparently we no longer have to watch how the Chairman is carrying his briefcase to see if interest rates will rise or fall :-)
Mortgage rates for the week are hovering around 5.75% for a 30-year fixed rate loan. I found it curious that a 30 year market loan rate is listed as better than a VA Loan this week. If you are curious about other types of rates/loans, check out this week's results here.

Loft Living In Cleveland
Have you ever thought about living Downtown or more importantly, living in a loft? For people who like open space in their homes, living a 'loft' lifestyle could be the way to go. There is an article in Crain's Cleveland today written by Zachary Lewis. He interviews a loft-dweller who just happens to reside in the Grand Arcade. His story is interesting because he aptly describes one cool aspect of buying a loft: designing your own space and being able to feel like it is truly created by you.
Some people may choose to try out 'loft living' as renters. The Bingham in the Warehouse District is a terrific example of apartment living for lofters (I just made up that word!) Browse their website and see for yourself.
Several true advantages to loft-living Downtown: close to transportation (leave your car at home, save gas, take RTA to the airport). Another advantage is all the natural beauty that surrounds you - great architecture, the lake, scuplture.
This is a fun article at Wise Geek who I believe is a Chicago resident. Cool take on loft living and lifestyles. Peace Out - 3C

Make any road trip (or even a trip to the grocery store) more exciting with these fun car games.
There comes a time in every road trip when the excitement of the adventure wears off. The bag of pretzels is nearly empty, the coffee is cold, and the radio turns into a wasteland of the same song over and over. Oh, and you still have miles upon miles until you reach your destination.
Even on the most boring of roads, however, there's a way that veteran passengers and drivers alike know will pass the time: fun car games. Some of the classics have been around since the days of the horse-drawn carriage. Others are new, thanks to technology. Most of them, however, are fun for kids, adults, and even your teenager who just might take his headphones off to join in the festivities.
10 Fun Car Games
1. The Alphabet Game
This game is perfect for kids learning the alphabet, but it is also a visual scavenger hunt for older kids, and it's as simple as could be. Find the letters A - Z in alphabetical order on road signs. It sounds easy until you realize how hard it is to find some letters. (Good luck with finding "Z" when you need it!)
2. Imaginary Hide and Seek
20 Questions isn't the only "Yes/No" game in town. For imaginary hide and seek, you or your kids can imagine themselves hiding anywhere in your home. Everyone else has to guess where they are by asking questions. "Are you in the kitchen?" "No." "Are you in the bedroom?" "Yes" "Under the bed?" "No." Keep going until you figure out where the imaginary hiding place is.
3. Books on tape
Though not a game, listening to stories on long car rides can be magical. You can get books on tape or CD at your local library, or you can use an app like Audible.
4. Prius Punch
Adults may remember this as "punch buggy, " but there aren't as many Volkswagen Beetles on the road as there are Toyota Priuses. The first person to spot a Prius gets to give their neighbor a little nudge on the arm. Just be warned that the kids can get a bit carried away, so rush hour may not be a good time for this one.
5. Mad Libs
This game is fun for anyone old enough to know basic grammar. Mad Libs has been around since 1953, and it never seems to lose its appeal. Fill in the blank with a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb, and let the fun begin. Mad Libs come in paper or app form, so there's no excuse for (verb ending in -ing) this (adjective) game.
6. Made you laugh
This variation of the quiet game has your kids trying to remain silent while you try to make them laugh with silly songs, jokes, or sounds. Last one to laugh wins. No tickling allowed. It's also a great way to get the kids to settle down, believe it or not. The competitive spirit takes over, and before you know it, that loud road trip turns into a fun ride.
7. Make a movie
With all the free movie apps available, it's easier than ever to embellish a story with soundtracks, stage designs, and special effects. Mix technology and good old-fashioned creativity. Let your kids make up a story with pictures and video from your trip. See if they can finish it by the time you reach your destination.
8. Magnetic board games
Bring your favorite board games with you. Checkers, chess, Battleship, and even soccer come in travel sizes, complete with magnetic boards and pieces.
9. Old school electronic games
Forget the smartphone! Those electronic games from the 70's and 80's are as fun as ever. Football, baseball, hockey, basketball, and even Space Invaders turned red LED lights into some of the most fun car games around. Why not give your kids (or your passengers) a taste of the original handheld games?
10. Rubberneckers
This game challenges you to watch and notice your surroundings as you travel the miles. Be the first to find things like a dog in a car or a phone booth. The game gets 4.5 stars and has 150 reviews on Amazon, and several reviewers even have their own rules to customize the game for their families.
Having a few fun car games on hand is just one part of a successful and safe road trip, though. Before you get in the car for a long drive, always check your tires and fluid levels. And if you're driving late at night, or across long desolate stretches of highway, don't skip a chance to gas up.
It's also good to make sure your auto insurance is up to date and that you have the coverage you need. Get in touch with your Pekin Insurance agent today so you can hit the road knowing we'll be there if you need us.

text: Rouaud's novel won the Prix Goncourt in 1990, a prize remarkable for the fact that Rouaud was no career writer but a very humble newsstand vendor who'd never before published a word. The book is not quite a novel, more a rich memoir, but on the grounds of prose style alone (which comes over quite convincingly in Ralph Manheim's fine English version), its prize-worthiness is clear. One of the children of a modest family living in the rainy Loire valley narrates, drawn back to the family's aged, especially a grandfather and spinster aunt--who throw off eccentricity and force of character like catherine-wheels: the grandfather's driving habits in his hilariously inadequate 2CV; the aunt's pious familiarity with every conceivable saint; the horror of WW I's carnage that lives undiminishable in the hearts of the eiders. Here, Rouaud's great gift, not unlike the film master Jean Renoir's, is for specificity and high relief: there are emotional lineages and comic dimensions to things as well as people: ""If we needed a screw, a nut, a tube of paste, a razor blade, a watch spring, a marble, a pin, a pencil, a paper clip, a coin with a hole in it (for use as a washer), or the tiny watchmaker's screwdriver that we used to tighten the hinges of our glasses, we had only to plunge into the biotrope between the china cupboard and the top of the sideboard and locate the glass hors d'oeuvres dish that has served as a bath for the little white garnet-billed mandarin birds which, we never found out why, had one after another been found dead in their cage."" A lovely, savory book.

"Those in search of another treacly cancer memoir need not even glance at this... Reisman's unflinching and moving tale puts to rest the image of patient as warrior. By linking her own ordeal to the triathlon she took on to mark her 10 year anniversary, she reveals the true nature of cancer survival — not as a triumph of epic valor, but as a feat of endurance, forbearance and true grit."

Falling In Reverse, Aiden, Drive A and Black Veil Brides tour has been CANCELED!
It was announced yesterday that the upcoming Falling In Reverse tour featuring Aiden, Black Veil Brides and Drive A has been canceled. Please read the official statements from Black Veil Brides, and Drive A, both of which were posted on their Facebook pages. The other two bands have made no mention of the cancelation.
Black Veil Brides stated at 7:27pm on October 27, 2011:
"BVB Army, due to circumstances beyond our control we regret
to share with you the cancellation of our tour running from 11/10 - 11/21 We
will be rescheduling all dates and making up for lost VIP packages etc.
Again, we apologize for this inconvenience and promise to make it up to you all
at a later date We hope to see all of you on the Buried Alive tour with Avenged
Sevenfold starting November 25th
Drive A stated at 8:55pm on October 25, 2011:
The Black Veil Brides tour in November has been cancelled sorry to everyone who was going to come out unfortunately it's not our decision- xoxo Drive A"
There has been no mention of reasons why the tour has been canceled, but Black Veil Brides fans are simply speculating that they are getting tired of the constant touring. Which very well may be. Black Veil Brides was touring before Warped tour, then played a lot of Warped tour (with the exception of the first couple of weeks, due to Andy's injury), took a break, and are now on an international tour before beginning the Buried Alive tour. They have been on close to constant tour since Febuary, and have tour dates through late January.
It is dissapointing for anyone who was going to get to go see the tour, but people can still catch Black Veil Brides on the Buried Alive tour, Falling In Reverse on their tour with We Came As Romans and Sleeping With Sirens, and Drive A on their "Let's Have a Wreck" tour. Both tours with BVB and FIR start on November 23rd, and the Let's Have A Wreck tour starts on

From Seeking Alpha
India is home to more than a billion people with a burgeoning middle class and is targeting economic growth of more than 6% for the next couple of years. Like other emerging markets that have grown rapidly in the last decade, India needs lots of fuel to pump its economy but big oil has largely shied away from making significant investments in the country. However, in February, two of the leading European oil firms have announced their Indian investment plans worth billions of dollars.
The Anglo-Dutch oil major Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.A), has decided to invest around $1 billion to develop a floating liquefied natural gas terminal off the coast of Kakinada in the state of Andhra Pradesh as early as 2014 through a joint venture with the Indian billionaire Anil Ambani's Reliance Power, India's biggest private sector power generation firm. Shell currently has an LNG import plant in the state of Gujarat which has a capacity of 3.6 million ton; which will be gradually upgraded to 10 million tons by the end of next four years. The demand for natural gas in India has been growing and is expected to increase by 280% from the current levels to ….. read more

When I leave work on an evening, I call home. Invariably Miss 13 picks the phone up – she has been trained by my other half as an evil receptionist – this began when she was very young, and would talk to cold-callers for quite some time before they realised there was no hope of getting any further. I've given up asking to speak to my other half, and just talk to Miss 13 these days – she relays information about things I might need to get on the way home – bread, milk, cat food – you name it. Sometimes she tries to sneak things she wants onto the list – you know – M&Ms for example.
Anyway. This evening, I called home and got my other half for a change.
"We are going out to rugby training – myself and 14 have had our dinner – 18 is going out with her friend for dinner – you just need to get something for yourself".
They knew I would buy a pizza, and I knew I would buy a pizza. I bought a pizza.
What I didn't predict – but should have – was that Miss 18's friend would bail on her, and leave her without a night out, and with no dinner. So that's how the unexpected movie night unfolded – after heating up some of last night's chicken soup, she wandered into the lounge doorway looking a bit lost, and I held an arm out across the sofa.
Strangely enough, she didn't seem interested in watching the documentary about the development of the atomic bomb I was watching, so we set off across Amazon and Netflix to find a movie to watch.
Love Simon.
I remember seeing the trailer for it in the cinema some time ago, and her indicating that I would be taking her to see it in the near future. Somehow that near future never happened though, and we forgot all about it – until tonight.
Turns out it's a wonderful movie. I gather it's based on a book by Becky Albertalli – called "Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda". The reviews on the internet speak volumes – it has quickly become associated with other coming-of-age books such as "The Art of Getting By", and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". We sat enthralled throughout the movie – second guessing the plot along the way. Well – I say "sat" – Miss 18 used me as a giant cushion for the majority of the movie, in the way the kids often do.
I think perhaps the pivotal moment of the movie comes when the title character tells his parents – it brought everything back about 18 choosing to tell us, in razor sharp focus. I don't think I've ever seen a movie handle anything like that so accurately. Of course I'm not very subjective, because I've been there – I've been the one walking along the street at night, wanting to tell a scared girl that I love her more than she will ever know.
Anyway (big exhale of breath)…
As the credits rolled, and I wandered around the room turning the lights out – the rest of the family had gone to bed some hours earlier – we both wondered if there is a girl version of "Love Simon" out there somewhere.

If there comes a point when divorce is on your mind, it's only natural to turn your attention to the division of property (both assets and debts).
While most people find that there is a lot to divide, some assets garner more attention than others. For instance, the division of financial assets is always at the top of the list.
While not always the case, it's not out of the question that someone could attempt to hide financial assets from the court. This is why you need to keep a close watch on everything your former partner is doing.
Here are some of the many types of financial assets that often come into play:
- Cash on hand
- Bank accounts (both savings and checking)
- Educational accounts
- Retirement accounts, including IRAs and 401(k) plans
- Pensions
- Profit sharing
- Mutual funds, stocks and bonds
- Certificates of deposit
- Life insurance cash value
- Annuities
How these assets are divided depends on a variety of factors, including ownership. For instance, if you purchased a certificate of deposit before your marriage, it may not be subject to property division.
Conversely, if an account has both people's name on it, such as a bank account, it will be part of the property division process.
The division of financial assets is important, but the same holds true for any debt that you're carrying. For instance, you may have a lot of cash on hand, but you could also have joint credit card debt. This will need to be taken care of as well.
You should never go into the divorce process with the idea that the division of financial assets will be straightforward. You may be lucky and be able to work through everything in a timely manner, but you shouldn't expect this to happen. There could be a few sticking points along the way that slow you down.
By understanding your legal rights and having a list of all financial assets up front, you're in better position to receive what you deserve and put the process in the past once and for all.

The quite gifted R& B/Rapper and father of two isn't stranger to your tattoo sign. The soulful singer consists of small tattoo assortment of his own, that he enjoys showing to any individual and anyone that will pay awareness. In comparison to most celebrities Usher does not attempt to conceal or contain his tattoos. He has them in fairly apparent areas.
In case you haven't heard, she said the following at a commencement address at Duke University: "Anyone that teaches you that better still own Jetsmarter isn't great is lying to you. That jet thing certainly good." First, the obvious, who would tell you that home security system own jet leasing isn't great, and good? I'm certain the lowly graduates appreciated the condescension. But in the case there was any confusion by what she meant, they are young and less world savvy after all, she makes it clear each morning second time period.
When finding a fractional jet ownership in NY, you'll want to consider factors such as the connected with passengers, baggage and flight distance. You should also think concerning your budget before going to luxurious aircraft manufactures. Some fractional jet ownership can take you towards destination but others may provide luxurious amenities in trip.
Private jets symbolize financial strength and luxury, so companies that rent them gain a photo for being financially strong. While this may seem vain, people regarding their companies, and employees will be very happy if their bosses charter flights and will be as the symbol to exhibit the strength of the company.
John on the other side hand was at a distinct situation. John had taken a mortgage on his house to finance his trading account. He no savings and had even given up his job to start full time trading.
Although many people think that private jets are extremely expensive, the turth could be the charter airline companies to be able to lowering pirces recently so that they may compete with commercial discovering. So, many small and big businesses are now renting private jets as opposed to buying bul business class tickets. If you think about it, private jets offer way more benefits than commercial flight companies. So, if the expenditure is the same, then it is obvious that you will choose private jets over commercial airlines.
