Hey! I just wanted to let all of you know that you people at Absolute Mobility Center are a wonderful group of real people... As I entered your huge well structured front doors I felt welcome and was greeted with a sense of compassion and love, and as I entered the indoor show room I was able to get in and out of all the Vans with lifts and was aloud to access all vans with the hands on approach, at the same time I wasn't pressured, and was shown each Van of interest to me with a graceful introduction and tour..
After the grand tour I was invited to the office of Chuck Jones and found myself comfortable and welcome, as I was asking questions I hear in the back ground a man singing out loud and I smiled, then Chuck said that's the owner, Eddie He's the best boss he's ever had, then I realized the people who work here are like family, they care for each other and also for me.. And they show it not just say it... So I just wanted all you to know that each and every one of you makes Absolute Mobility Center a wonderful experience, and has a family like compassion feeling.

Skunk spray your pet? Here's an easy formula to get rid of the smell
By Gary Bogue
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 at 8:51 am in Skunks.
Backyard skunk by Lois Bogue, Benicia, CA
I'm getting a lot of requests for this "Skunk Off" recipe to help people clean skunk spray off of dogs that have encountered those little stinkers in their backyards this spring.
Stick this formula on your refrigerator door so it will be handy in case you ever need it. It's easy to make and as I said, it chemically neutralizes that very bad smell.
TAKE: 1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (from a pharmacy); ¼-cup baking soda; 1 teaspoon liquid soap (I use Dawn). Mix it all together and wash the sprayed animal, massaging it in for about 5 minutes, keeping the mixture out of its eyes, nose and mouth. Rinse thoroughly with tap water.
Don't bottle this stuff. The mix causes a mild chemical reaction and it could escape into a BIG mess if confined in a bottle.
Based on feedback from hundreds of users, this recipe, as listed, is a suitable quantity for a small dog. Double the above amount for medium-size dogs. Triple it for large dogs.
It's amazingly effective. /Gary

The Augsburg Interim is proclaimed as an attempt at compromise settlement of religious differences in Germany. Clerical marriage is permitted, the laity are to receive communion in both kinds and the doctrine of justification by faith is modified; all seven sacraments are retained and the dogma of transubstantiation is reaffirmed. The terms of the acceptance of the Interim by the German Diet are, however, vague; the city of Magdeburg, centre of opposition, is placed under the ban of the Empire.

While few saw it coming, many observers are now speaking of the staying power of Israel's economic protest movement as a major threat to the government of Prime Minister Netanyahu. Though the demonstrators seem devoid of a coherent alternative policy and seemingly ignorant of the tremendous damage out-of-control government spending has done in Europe, there is no denying they have tapped into popular discontent with the current state of affairs.
The question is how serious a threat does it pose to Netanyahu in the short term and what impact will it have on the next election.
As Herb Keinon writes in the Jerusalem Post, the high cost of living in Israel has had a terrible impact on middle class Israelis. Moreover, it is an issue that won't be swept away even if the country finds itself embroiled in a new round of Arab violence in the aftermath of the United Nations General Assembly vote on Palestinian independence in September. That means the prime minister will be spending the coming months dealing with both the threat of a new intifada while also attempting to cope with a broad-based protest movement on the domestic front. These twin challenges will test Netanyahu's political and diplomatic skills. But the expectation the protest movement will transform the country's politics in the next year may be overblown.
The first problem with such a scenario is Netanyahu's main competition is poorly placed to take advantage of the protests. Though Kadima Party leader Tzipi Livni has been trying to capitalize on the discontent as part of her non-stop campaign to abuse Netanyahu, her party has been as much a part of the free market consensus of the last two decades as Netanyahu's Likud. The notion this alliance of opportunists can morph into a social democratic liberal alternative to Likud will require more fancy footwork than even Livni can manage. As is the case on the Palestinian question, there is actually very little difference between the two parties on economics.
Though Kadima may not be the beneficiary of the protests, they have the affect of pumping some life into the seemingly moribund Labor Party that crashed and burned in the last decade along with public trust in the peace process. But even more likely is the protests will lead to the creation of a new party or two at the next election (which will probably take place sometime in late 2012 or early 2013) that will exploit public dissatisfaction better than any of the other existing leftist factions. That may be more problematic for Netanyahu because, unlike conservative parties in the West, Likud's grass roots have always been among lower income Sephardic Jews who were not any more enamored of free market economics than kibbutzniks. As Netanyahu has admitted, the economic stance of Likud in the era of Menachem Begin was more Peronist than anything else. Though times have changed, the vulnerability of that constituency to the siren song of government handouts could prove a problem.
But as potent as the protest have been, the notion Israel will actually vote to go back to its socialist roots seems to be rooted more in the prevalent anti-Netanyahu sentiment among the country's press than anything else. The idea most Israelis want to jettison its status as a first-world state in favor of the impoverished government-run economy that existed before both Labor and Likud adopted the cause of the free market gives the populace little credit. Israelis may not like the high cost of living, but the belief they will vote to become a second Greece seems far-fetched.

Boston Marathon bombing survivor marries nurse who cared for him
I often post mantras on my Facebook page.
One of my favorites is "Everything happens for a reason." I try to remind myself of that when something negative and unexpected happens in life, even if I don't understand why at the time, and there is a reason or purpose and in the end it will come to light.
That happened for James Costello. You may not recognize his name, but you'd probably recognize his face. Costello was supporting a friend who was running in the 2013 Boston Marathon. He was severely injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line.
A photographer captured Costello staggering through the streets with his clothes shredded and his legs burned. In the wake of the blast, that horrific photo became one of the most widely-viewed images around the world.
In an appearance on the "Today" show in December, Costello said that being injured in the bombing was a blessing in disguise because it led him to meet Krista D'Agostino, who was working a six-week stint as a traveling nurse at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.
"One thing that she hates that I always say is I'm actually glad I got blown up," Costello told show co-host Savannah Guthrie. "I wish everyone else didn't have to, but I don't think I would have ever met her if I didn't, so I'm pretty happy."
Costello proposed to D'Agostino eight months after meeting her at the rehab center, and they tied the knot Saturday in a beautiful wedding donated by local businesses.
In a Facebook post, Costello wrote "April 15 was one of the worst days of my life. I soon wondered why and for what reason this happened. I now realize why I was involved in the tragedy. It was to meet my best friend, and the love of my life."
As I said, everything happens for a reason.

Welcome to Riverford Farm Shops!
Excuse the mugshot of me but apart from our ethos and our pork and herb sausages, I've been the one constant factor over the last thirty one years. I'd like to think I'm a little more photogenic than a banger, however good it might be. From humble beginnings in an old piggery, the Staverton shop has moved all of ten yards but grown from farm shop to emporium selling food with provenance whether it be home produced, local, organic or just plain good. Our shop at Yealmpton is the same with a thriving cafe and more of a seafood offering.
There's also a cafe at Staverton, recently opened and still finding it's feet. Thirty years is a long time in the food business but I'm glad to say that it's been so satisfying that I still get a real buzz out of it. By cutting out many peripheral costs seen as indispensable by bigger businesses, we've helped show that small scale local food production can work without costing the earth. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Using a pole sander fitted with 120-grit paper, sand the walls (make sure to wear a dust mask). Sweep the sander side to side as you work your way from the top down. Apply medium pressure, and take care that the head doesn't flop and gouge the wall. Change the paper whenever the grit gets clogged with dust.
Remove bumps or drips on painted molding with a scraper. Then, using a dampened coarse-grit sanding sponge, rough up the surface. Keep a bucket of warm water nearby, and continually rinse the sponge. Finish with a dampened fine-grit sponge.
Using a wet/dry vacuum, clear all the dust from the walls and trim. Wash the walls with a sponge, using warm water and dish soap. Scrub greasy or waxy spots. Wipe everything down one last time with clean water

Because of this, it is important that you find the best possible rate for your auto and homeowners insurance policy. Luckily, it is much easier to find a great rate for insurance now than ever before. In the past, you were pretty much stuck accepting whatever type of insurance your agent could find for you. Then, around ten years ago, nearly every insurance company started offering their product online. Soon after, people started feeling as though they were insurance experts and handled their polices online themselves. This wasn't a bad thing—in many cases. However, there are downfalls to working directly with the insurance companies. In many cases, insurance customers do not understand what type of coverage they need. They take the lowest possible rate, without looking into the repercussions that could be caused. This is fine and good—until the time comes that they need to get something back from the insurance company. Because of this, working with an independent agency is actually still a superior way to obtain insurance. The agent can help you get the coverage you need at a price you can afford. Additionally, there are many agencies now that offer features that make it even easier. For instance, in some cases you can compare insurance quotes online. Unlike trying to compare by visiting each site yourself, using one of these tools means that you are comparing apples to apples. Therefore, not only are you paying as little as possible, you are still getting the type of coverage you need. Spend some time researching the options, and then choose an independent agency that will make things easy for you and save you money too. About Us Located in beautiful downtown Fredonia, New York, BLB Insurance Agency, Inc., is dedicated to providing you with more choices. Because with more choices, you get the right coverage, at the right price! As your local SIAA Certified Independent Agency we can provide our clients with access to more insurance options. BLB Insurance Agency is owned by Sham and Louann Bahgat long-time residents of Fredonia. With over 20 years of success with their accounting firm Bahgat & Laurito-Bahgat, CPAs,, you can rest assure that you are in good hands. Their professional dedicated service you have received with their accounting practices will continue as they assist you in protecting the things that are important to you.

Vetoes Stand on Marijuana Possession, Internet Cash
Backers of a plan to allow police to write tickets for marijuana possession picked up one vote on the city council, but still fell short of overriding a mayoral veto this week. The plan would have made it possible but not necessary for cops to write a ticket for up to 25 grams. City council member Chris Olson, who authored the proposal, says it just gets the city up to speed with other communities. But several other council members said the idea sent a message of drug tolerance. Council members also sustained a mayoral veto of a proposal that would have added 25 dollars to the expense account of each council member to offset the cost of a home internet connection.

Directed at and limited in usefulness to practitioners of gastrointestinal endoscopy, this is a first-class atlas. Well-referenced and with excellent endoscopic photographs, a major strength of the book is its integration of normal anatomic variation with diverse upper and lower gastrointestinal pathologic characteristics seen through the endoscope. Moreover, there is abundant text description and some histologic correlation to keep both the novice and experienced endoscopist from misinterpreting similar endoscopic abnormalities that can result from diverse causes.

DRM viewpoints: Michael Gartenberg vs. Michael Masnick
September 26, 2009 | 2:35 pm
By Chris Meadows
Engadget's Michael Gartenberg and Techdirt's Michael Masnick square off in opposing columns about the merits or lack thereof of Digital Rights Management (DRM).
Gartenberg feels that DRM has been demonized unfairly, and that it enables new business models that could not exist without it.
Take subscription services for example. Sure, I'd love a service that would allow me to download unlimited content in high bitrate MP3 format for a reasonable fee every month. Except economics and greed will never let that happen (although I suspect we'd see a lot users sign up for about 30-60 days).
Gartenberg does not address what happens when that DRM-locked subscription service goes out of business, though he does admit that DRM is easily broken.
Yes, I know most DRM solutions can and will be circumvented. If there's a lock on the door, someone is always going to try to find the key and usually they will. It's not about that. Folks that are looking to avoid paying for stuff will usually find a way. I'm talking about folks who are willing and looking to legally acquire content.
Masnick, on the other hand, points out that it is not the DRM that enables the subscription-based business model Gartenberg trumpets—it is fear of how people will use the music.
But, that makes no sense. People already have access to pretty much every song ever recorded with no DRM at all. Claiming that they need DRM to enable such a service makes no sense. It's already there—just not legally. So what does the DRM stop in such a service? Absolutely nothing. If the fear is that someone takes a song and shares it online… too late. It's already happened. The only thing that DRM does in that situation is put up a restriction on a legitimate, paying customer. That makes no economic sense at all.
Masnick says that no business model has ever been built on restricting behavior. Companies may be afraid to try a business model without DRM, but that is not the same thing as saying the DRM "enabled" it.
Both these essays are interesting windows into opposing viewpoints on DRM. Be sure and read them both.
See, I think some of this is a semantic argument that would be ended instantly (yeah, right–snort–Internet argument ends) if someone called a DRMed ebook sale a "rental", AND charged for it like a rental. Rent me an ebook for a longish time (a month, a year), with no other promised value, and charge me 1/4 to 1/10th of the value of the least expensive paper version of that book.
If I want to read it again, I have no problem renting it again. I'd have no expectation of giving the ebook away, or selling it, or loaning it to a friend. It clearly isn't mine.
I susbscribe to Netflix and OnDemand, and pay 1/4-1/2 of the purchase cost to view a DVD once or twice. Because everyone's upfront about it, everyone's happy.
Where I get bent out of shape is when some yobbo rents me a ebook, calls it a sale, tacks on a hidden license that makes it a lease, and charges me as much or more for the rental as he charges for the paper book. My momma dint raise no fools.

RARE ARCHIVAL 35MM SCREENING for only three bucks! Sponsored by VULCAN VIDEO!!
The makeup looks like peanut butter, the blood looks like nail polish, and an undead creature gets beaten to death with a blanket . . . but nothing can stand in the way of the most ill-conceived Italian trash-vampire-zomboid wreck-bomb in the goddamn galaxy! A radioactive airplane lands and immediately spews forth a seemingly endless fountain of drippy man-scabs and scumbos, each on a feral cannibalistic rampage. To call them "zombies" is to overlook the fact that these shit-caked spazznuts can operate machinery, fire automatic weapons, and run faster than a fat kid behind an ice cream truck. Director Umberto Lenzi may have made his name with jungle cannibal epics like CANNIBAL FEROX, but his go-for-broke dedication to flesh-ripping offensiveness hit a crescendo in this holocaust of anti-human bloodrage.

Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.
In the 1920s and 1930s, thousands of men and women were sterilized at asylums and prisons across America. Believing that criminality and mental illness were inherited, state legislatures passed laws calling for the sterilization of "habitual criminals" and the "feebleminded." But in 1936, inmates at Oklahoma's McAlester prison refused to cooperate; a man named Jack Skinner was the first to come to trial.
In 1978, the first group of space shuttle astronauts was introduced to the world -- twenty-nine men and six women who would carry NASA through the most tumultuous years of the space shuttle program. Among them was USAF Colonel Mike Mullane, who, in his memoir Riding Rockets, strips the heroic veneer from the astronaut corps and paints them as they are -- human.

Lawyers today are in a moral crisis. The popular perception of the lawyer, both within the legal community and beyond, is no longer the Abe Lincoln of American mythology, but is often a greedy, cynical manipulator of access and power. In The Lawyer's Myth, Walter Bennett goes beyond the caricatures to explore the deeper causes of why lawyers are losing their profession and what it will take to bring it back.
Lawyer Atticus Finch defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic, Puliter Prize-winning novel—a black man charged with the rape of a white woman. Through the eyes of Atticus's children, Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unanswering honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930's.
The Last Lawyer is the true, inside story of how an idealistic legal genius and his diverse band of investigators and fellow attorneys fought to overturn a client's final sentence. The Last Lawyer chronicles Ken Rose's decade-long defense of Bo Jones, a North Carolina farmhand convicted of a 1987 murder. The Jones case bares the thorniest issues surrounding capital punishment. Inadequate legal counsel, mental retardation, mental illness, and sketchy witness testimony stymied Jones's original defense.

Hailed as the most masterful story ever told of the American civil rights movement, Parting the Waters is destined to endure for generations.Taylor Branch provides an unsurpassed portrait of King's rise to greatness and illuminates the stunning courage and private conflict, the deals, maneuvers, betrayals, and rivalries that determined history behind closed doors, at boycotts and sit-ins, on bloody freedom rides, and through siege and murder.

A tale more riveting than fiction, "Storming the Court" is the true story of idealistic law students who challenged the United States government in 1992 in a battle for freedom and human rights that went all the way to the Supreme Court -- and resonates today more than ever.
Professor Lucas Osborn
The book begins by describing the difference between educational cultures that praise students for 'right answers,' and the law school culture that rewards nuanced analysis of ambiguous situations in which more than one approach may be correct. Enormous care is devoted to explaining precisely how and why legal analysis frequently produces such perplexing situations.The book contains hints on studying and preparation that go well beyond conventional advice.
Professor Jon Powell
In this incisive critique, former litigator-turned-legal-scholar Michelle Alexander provocatively argues that we have not ended racial caste in America: we have simply redesigned it. Alexander shows that, by targeting black men and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, even as it formally adheres to the principle of color blindness. The New Jim Crow challenges the civil rights community - and all of us - to place mass incarceration at the forefront of a new movement for racial justice in America.
Professor Gregory Wallace
In America's Constitution, one of this era's most accomplished constitutional law scholars, Akhil Reed Amar, gives the first comprehensive account of one of the world's great political texts. Incisive, entertaining, and occasionally controversial, this "biography" of America's framing document explains not only what the Constitution says but also why the Constitution says it.
Philip Hamburger's "Law and Judicial Duty" traces the early history of what is today called "judicial review." Working from previously unexplored evidence, Hamburger questions the very concept of judicial review. Although decisions holding statutes unconstitutional are these days considered instances of a distinct judicial power of review, Hamburger shows that they were once understood merely as instances of a broader judicial duty.
Woodrow Wilson is best known for his service as the twenty-eighth president of the United States and his influence on American foreign policy in the twentieth century and beyond. Yet Wilson is equally important for his influence on how Americans think about their Constitution and principles of government. Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalism highlights Wilson's sharp departure from the traditional principles of American government, most notably the Constitution.
Professor William Woodruff
In this powerful, epic biography, David McCullough unfolds the adventurous life-journey of John Adams, the brilliant, fiercely independent, often irascible, always honest Yankee patriot -- "the colossus of independence," as Thomas Jefferson called him -- who spared nothing in his zeal for the American Revolution; who rose to become the second President of the United States and saved the country from blundering into an unnecessary war; and whose marriage to the wise and valiant Abigail Adams is one of the moving love stories in American history.
The life of Harry S. Truman is one of the greatest of American stories, filled with vivid characters -- Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bess Wallace Truman, George Marshall, Joe McCarthy, and Dean Acheson -- and dramatic events. In this riveting biography, acclaimed historian David McCullough not only captures the man -- a more complex, informed, and determined man than ever before imagined -- but also the turbulent times in which he rose, boldly, to meet unprecedented challenges.
In 1941 England, when all hope was threatened by the inhumanity of war, C. S. Lewis was invited to give a series of radio lectures addressing the central issues of Christianity. More than half a century later, these talks continue to retain their poignancy. This twentieth century masterpiece provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.
In this humorous and perceptive exchange between two devils, C. S. Lewis delves into moral questions about good vs. evil, temptation, repentance, and grace. Through this wonderful tale, the reader emerges with a better understanding of what it means to live a faithful life.
Dean Timothy Zinnecker
Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmond Dantes is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of the Château d'If. Having endured years of incarceration, he stages a daring and dramatic escape and sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo, and to catch up with his enemies.
In this endlessly engrossing book, National Book Award-winning biographer Ron Chernow devotes his penetrating powers of scholarship and insight to the Jekyll and Hyde of American capitalism. In the course of his nearly 98 years, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., was known as both a rapacious robber baron, whose Standard Oil Company rode roughshod over an industry, and a philanthropist who donated money lavishly to universities and medical centers. He was the terror of his competitors, the bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturists--and an utter enigma.
The Citadel was first published in 1937, and was groundbreaking with its treatment of the contentious theme of medical ethics. It is credited with laying the foundation in Great Britain for the introduction of the NHS a decade later.

ARLINGTON, Va. - A Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) team received the 2011 Defense Standardization Program Achievement Award for developing a single coat paint system for Navy ships during a Pentagon ceremony, March 14.
NAVSEA's Engineering for Reduced Maintenance program (ERM) advanced tank coatings team developed and standardized highly durable, labor- and cost-saving paint systems for ballast tanks, fuel tanks and voids on all Navy ships.
"This is a great reward for years of persistent, hard work by the professionals on the advanced tank coatings team," said ERM Program Manager Vernon Parrish. "These high-solids, edge-retentive, rapid-cure paint systems can be applied in a single coat rather than the legacy three-coat system."
The advanced tank coatings extend the service life of the paint from five years to 20 years. Since March 2009, the Navy has realized a 30 percent reduction in submarine ballast tank coatings costs and achieved a fleet-wide cost avoidance of $1.4 million through the use of single-coat paints.
"The team developed a non-shrinking, high-build paint that could be applied in a single coat and would cure within eight hours," said Parrish. "These coating systems also apply to U.S. Coast Guard and Military Sealift Command vessels."
The Navy identified corrosion repair and preservation within tanks and voids as the service's highest cost maintenance driver, consuming an estimated $244 million per year. NAVSEA continuously improves its maintenance and modernization processes to deliver capability in a cost-effective way.
Members of the team included Vernon Parrish, ERM Program Manager; Mark Browder, NAVSEA cumbersome work practices program manager; Mark Ingle, NAVSEA corrosion control technical warrant holder; William Needham, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division corrosion control specialist; and James Martin, Naval Research Laboratory scientist.
The award recognizes military and Defense Department individuals and organizations who achieve significant improvements in interoperability, cost reduction, quality, reliability and readiness through standardization.
NAVSEA is committed to maximizing the material readiness of the Fleet by ensuring every ship is ready to respond to the Navy's missions. ERM is one of five programs managed the NAVSEA Fleet Readiness Engineering Office, located at NAVSEA Headquarters at the Washington Navy Yard.

The Envato marketplaces never looked so delicious! Baked by Senior Support/Copyright Officer Ibrahim Rodriguez's wife Nathalie, this tiny cake features edible logos of each marketplace. Read on for more, and photos from every angle.
Nathalie has recently started to study Cake Craft and Decoration. When it came time to bake a cake, her inspiration came from Envato. She explains:
It is just appreciation for the wonderful job we have and also a nice way to say thanks for everything that Envato has done for us.
That's fantastic, Nathalie. I'm still awaiting my invitation for the cake-eating event. Judging by the photos, there won't be a lot to go around.
This isn't the first time that an Envato spouse has been inspired to be creative with our logos. Last year Aetuts+ editor Adam Everett Miller's wife Katie redecorated his office wall with Tuts+ logos. Check out the photo here.

Evangeline Lilly: Organic food cured my clinical depressionAdd to Favorites | Lost
Evangeline Lilly might frequently appear as a confident and butt-kicking lady on both the big and small screen, but she hasn't always felt her best in her private life.
The former "Lost" star tells reporters, via the UK's Digital Spy, that she used to suffer from clinical depression, but she resolved the health issue with better quality food instead of medication.
"I have battled clinical depression and have come out of the other side. I've been free of it for many years now," Lilly reportedly says. "Finding the place in my own mind and heart to win that battle without using medication, finding the place within myself where I could be alive again, that was one of the biggest challenges I've faced."
Lilly credits her switch to organic food with helping her through the hard time. "Going from eating whatever to eating primarily organic food, I was astounded what a difference that made. After about a year or two years, I started to feel something physically lift out of my brain, and I believe it was all the chemicals I was probably ingesting [before]," she says.
Lilly's latest film, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," is in theaters now.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa Without comment, the Cedar Rapids City Council this week approved an amendment to its agreement with the local casino investor group that will allow the city to have a private developer pay to build a $25-million parking ramp and skywalk for the casino project.
The development agreement approved in August between the city and casino investors Cedar Rapids Development Group LLC called for the city to pay to build the 1,000-space ramp with skywalk over First Avenue West to connect to the Cedar Crossing Casino at First Avenue and First Street SW.
The council this week amended the development agreement on the ramp in preparation for Cedar Rapids Development Group's formal presentation to the Iowa Racing & Gaming Commission on Jan. 9 at the Isle Casino Hotel in Waterloo.
The commission plans an April vote on whether or not to grant the proposed Cedar Rapids gambling venue a state gaming license.
Steve Gray, the Cedar Rapids businessman who is heading up the casino investor group, told the City Council on Tuesday evening that the group had secured financing to build and open the casino. Gray said nearly 200 mostly local investors now are part of the investment group.
City officials have said that having a private firm design, pay for and build the parking ramp will ensure that the ramp is in place by June 26, 2015, in time for the casino's planned opening on July 3, 2015.
The amendment to the casino development agreement spells out that the city will be allocated 352 parking spaces on the three-story ramp's third floor for general city parking use.
The city will not have to take on debt to build the ramp this year, but the amendment to the agreement calls on the city to buy the ramp from the developer before Sept. 1, 2017. So the city will have to take on debt then to make the purchase. By then, the casino will be generating a stream of new property-tax revenue based on the investor's investment in the new facility, revenue that will be used to pay for the ramp. This tax increment financing arrangement has been part of the casino agreement from the start.
Cedar Rapids Development Group LLC will operate and maintain the parking ramp, and both the Development Group and the city will contribute annually to a capital maintenance fund that will raise $1.9 million over 20 years.
After 20 years, the casino can purchase the parking ramp at fair market value if it chooses.
The agreement calls for the Development Group to pay the city 1 percent of adjusted gross receipts each year for 50 years, an annual amount that is expected to start at $800,000 year. That payment will be made in two parts on Jan. 31 and July 31 of each year, according to the agreement amendment.

Airport History
Formal discussions concerning the establishment of an airport in New Bedford were held in March of 1939. The proposed building of the airfield would become a WPA (Works Project Administration) project.
Ground was broken for the New Bedford Municipal Airport on April 9, 1940. The airport was officially dedicated and approved as a commercial landing field by the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission on April 28, 1942. The airport consisted of two 3,500 ft. paved runways with lighting systems.
On November 12, 1942 upon request from the War Department the City turned the airport over to the U.S. Government to support the World War II effort for the duration of the war and for 6 months after its end. The field was occupied by the Army Air Corps which performed Atlantic Coast Patrols. At that time, the two runways were extended to 5,000 ft. in length and a hangar and several support buildings were constructed.
In April of 1944, the U.S. Navy took over control of the Airport and used it as a training post and auxiliary facility to the U.S. Air Station at Quonset Point, Rhode Island.
Anticipating the release of the Airport from the War Department, the City Council Committee on Ordinances, in 1946, proposed an ordinance for the creation of the Airport Commission. The Commission has the responsibility of the "care, custody, control and management" of the airport.
In August of 1950 an Administration Building was constructed along with an Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting building. Both buildings were completed in October of 1951. In 1957 Aviation history was made at the Airport when Omega Aircraft Corp. test flew the world's first twin engine utility helicopter. In 1958, the FAA took over the Air Traffic Control, old military structures were removed and major drainage and lighting improvements were performed.
In the 1960's and 1970's, the airport continued to improve its facilities by continuous expansion of airport aprons and airport infrastructure.
In the 1980's the airport served as a regional passenger hub with direct flights to Boston and New York. Over 50,000 passengers used the airport in one year.
In 1998 the Airport Commission received a major grant from the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission for remodeling and renovation of the Terminal Building as the airport became a convenient aerial gateway to the Cape Cod Islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Currently 24,000 passengers a year use New Bedford Airport (EWB) for their travel to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.
Today the airport is undergoing an extensive environmental review and assessment to determine the future needs and expansion requirements to meet anticipated growth.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Increases Risk of Colorectal Cancer
A commonly used treatment for prostate cancer may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Older men with prostate cancer who received treatment that reduced androgen had a 30 to 40 percent higher risk of getting colorectal cancer than men who didn't have the therapy. The longer they received the treatment, the greater their risk. Androgen deprivation… Read More

Paranormal Investigations of Staten Island
Welcome To Our Home
Hello and welcome to the home of PISI, Staten Island's #1 paranormal investigators . For folks who might not know, we at Paranormal Investigations of Staten Island are striving to build a reputable and credible paranormal research organization. For over ten years we have been studying and researching the paranormal conducting investigations and analyzing the collected evidence with a scientific logic. We at PISI investigate with the intent to debunk the alleged haunting. We believe at least 80% of all alleged paranormal activity can be explained and debunked by a natural or "normal" cause. This is our mentality, to look upon evidence with a scientific and logical eye. There are many others who share this mentality such as the Eastern Paranormal Investigation Center (EPIC). Please enjoy this insight into our group.
For more extensive information on the Paranormal please visit our new informational page:your paranormal guide
Please bear with us as the page is still under construction and check back regularly to see new updates._______________________________________________________

What comes to mind when I say, "Rob Ford"?
Crack cocaine? Hilarious GIFs? Chris Farley?
We could play this Rob Ford-word association game all day, but I doubt that sex is one thing you would associate with Rob Ford (even though he did state he eats his wife's pussy a lot in a press conference).
Despite his grotesque appearance and erratic behavior, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford could be starring in his very own celebrity sex tape with adult superstar Brandy Aniston.
TMZ has learned that Vivid Radio is set to make an offer to Rob Ford to star in his own celebrity sex tape because why the hell not? He already smoked crack as Mayor, which wasn't enough to get him to step down. Why not really push things to the limit by getting him to star in his own sex tape?
When asked the obvious question of, "Why would you ever want to film a Rob Ford sex tape?" Vivid star Brandy Aniston said that she came up with the idea. She wants to co-star in the sex tape because she thinks, "He's kinda cute, in a big, teddy bear kind of way."
Well, at least that gives me some hope that Brandy Aniston will find me cute in a big, teddy bear kind of way.
The Rob Ford sex tape parody is already online at Woodrocket.com. So Brandy Aniston might want to act fast. Watch the Rob Ford sex tape parody.
Normally I'd just laugh this offer off because it's so ridiculous. However, I would say that Rob Ford accepting this chance to film a sex tape with Brandy Aniston is as ridiculous as Rob Ford denying smoking crack, then admitting smoking crack, using that admission of drug use as an opportunity to announce that he will not be stepping down and that he will be running for re-election in a year.
You just never know with this guy. If he can casually smoke crack, he might film a sex tape.
I know if I were Rob Ford, I'd be powerless to resist Brandy Aniston…and after you see her pictures, I'm sure you would be too:

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Along with all the questions I *did* have time to ask at Monday's
meeting, a couple of points I didn't get to...
For advocacy opportunities, the BSA runs "software piracy amnesty"
campaigns. These occur quarterly, and what happens is that various
national territories (e.g.: NE, SE, MW, North Plains, Rockies, SW, NW)
have a couple of targeted metro areas. These campaigns are coordinated
with marketing efforts from major BSA members, typically Microsoft,
Adobe, and others.
For a sample press release from January, 2002:
The events are really a full-court press -- newspaper, radio, and
presumably (I don't own one, can't tell) TV ads, plus magazine and
newspaper articles.
I've thought that these are a great opportunity to get some public
airtime on public radio -- KQED in San Francisco has a "Perspective"
series of items in which the community can air a viewpoint. Something
to the extent of "you can get this monkey off your back" would be great.
KXJX/KXPR in Sacramento should have something similar, or whatever your
planet's equivalent is.
The other point was to emphasize what Maddog said about advocating free
software, even on Legacy MS Windows. I work for a web design shop.
Sure, our services are GNU/Linux, and most of the tech staff runs
GNU/Linux, but the admin and designer systems are largely Legacy MS
Windows (and a smattering of Macs). But when a salesman asked for
Photoshop to be able to view PSDs he was getting from client/prospects,
the $650 expenditure for a file viewer seemed steep. I pulled up the
GIMP on my GNU/Linux box, and sure enough, it handled the format with no
problems. Next, to VMWare, where I've got WinGIMP installed on my
(little used) XP system there. Likewise.
Ten minutes later, the Jailers of Dmitry were down one sale, with a
fully legal install of WinGIMP on a sales desktop.
We've had similarly good results with other tools, including:
- cygwin
- PuTTY
- Mozilla
- OpenOffice
...there's a lot of quality free software available for Legacy MS
Windows. By all means, promote it -- if for no other reason than it
makes the potential transition to a superior OS smoother.
Hmm...it would be useful to have a good compendium of Free Software
available for Legacy MS Windows. Quick Google results don't turn up a
handy reference. Anyone?

Widespread load shedding by power utility ZESA Holdings, which crippled industries and paralysed social services, cost the troubled firm US$187 million in potential revenue in 2010 alone, a power sector report has revealed.
The report titled Electricity Tariffs Review presented at the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) Annual General Meeting (AGM) recently said the Zimbabwe Electricity Transm-ission and Distribution Company (ZETDC), a ZESA subsidiary that sells power, received 10?131 gigawatt hours (GWh) through imports and local generation in 2010.
About 8 701GWh were used in Zimbabwe while 987,9GWh were exported, mostly to Namibia.
The report, which was prepared by the CZI in conjunction with the Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe, indicated that 2,659,783GWh were load shed during the period, representing US$187 million in lost sales.
"Total system losses are 20,1 percent compared to KPLC (Kenya Power & Lighting Company Limited) total losses at 16 percent. The four percent difference (with KPLC) in losses represents US$3,7 million loss to ZETDC," said the power sector report.
ZESA Holdings reported US$36,2 million in losses in 2010.
The report queried the Zimbabwe Electricity Regulatory Authority (ZERA's) business model, suggesting a complete review.
"ZERA has adopted the "single buyer" market model as a transitional structure. ZETDC is the sole imp-orter/exporter and purchaser, transmitter, distributor and supplier of electricity. The single buyer model is an impediment to investments in the power sector and should be done away with immediately," said the report.
"Why can't farmers (for instance) take over the electricity distribution "wires" in their areas? Why can't Victoria Falls be responsible for the distribution and supply of power to itself? Competition should be introduced into the supply side of the electricity sector as in the petroleum sector," the report added.
"The load shedding is affecting many businesses especially irrigation farming. Wheat and barley farming are under threat impacting upstream industries. Due to the unscheduled load shedding, a lot of equipment is being damaged," said the report.
Power problems have worsened in Zimbabwe in the past decade with ZESA failing to settle its power import bills on several times.
In March, Mozambique temporarily halted power exports to Zimbabwe to force ZESA to settle part of a US$75 million outstanding debt.
Zimbabwe imports 35 percent of its power requirements from three regional producers.
These include Mozambique's Hydro Cahora Bassa of Moza-mbique, the giant power plant that generates 2 075 MW of electricity.
The troubled power company is undertaking a programme to add 600 MW and 300MW in new generation capacity at its Hwange and Kariba power stations respectively. This is, however, a long-term project that demands extensive capital expenditure outlays.
In its January 2012 edition of the Megawatt Monthly, ZESA indicated that power generation had increased by 19 percent in 2010. However, there is veery little or nothing on the ground to show for the improvement in output.

Not just for picnics anymore

Gladys - Flavor - Watermelon - melon - sd slc ls wedges slices mini hi resolution.
Photo By no info givenWATERMELON SLICES for use in the food section 6_30_99. HOUCHRON CAPTION (06/30/1999): Slices of watermelon make a cool dessert on a summer day. HOUCHRON CAPTION (06/11/2003): It it's hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk, that's the last thing you want. Instead, go for some sweetly refreshing and thirst-quenching concoctions made with ice-cold watermelon. You'll have it made in the shade. Inside.

For Bay Laxson, it's all about the thump.
As owner of Orange Blossom Farm in Carrizo Springs, Texas, Laxson takes a hands-on approach to harvesting his watermelons. Daughter Jada Baker, who helps Laxson during weekend trips to Pearl Farmers Market, describes the process of picking a great watermelon.
"The underside should be yellow-white (from where it's been sitting)," Baker says. "The stripes will also change when the melon is ready."
Don't be afraid to give the melon a thump or two. Laxson, who grows about 5 acres of watermelons from March through June - the fruit's peak season - thumps every last one of the watermelons he harvests. If the sound is flat, then the watermelon is overripe.
Laxson is one of dozens of Texas watermelon growers who spend the late part of the spring harvesting these summer favorites.
According to the National Watermelon Promotion Board, watermelon is grown in 44 states with Florida, Texas, California, Georgia and Arizona leading the country in production.
While watermelon might hearken back to childhood summers by the pool and picnics, chefs and home cooks can test the fruit's versatility in sorbets, sodas, salsas and salads.
