|Please explain what your two main legislative priorities will be if elected. Please explain how you would obtain any additional government funding needed to implement these priorities.
Education is my top legislative priority. We must pay our teachers salaries above the national average, ensure every child reads at grade level, reform the Standards of Learning tests, and make sure higher education is accessible and affordable. Funding will come from the existing budget by reducing appropriations to agencies like the Milk Commission and the Racing Commission, the General Assembly and others.

I have a problem that no one in this town seems to know why?
I do not carry a large amount of money on me. I carry checks. Both Kentucky Bank checks and checks I order supporting ASPCA to help advertise for neglected and mistreatment of animals.
Both type of checks have routering number and bank account number, name, driver license, address and telephone number.
There are two stores that will not take my checks.
I have lived here in Cynthiana for over 50 years. As the widow of Charlie North who was a commissioner.

Ben Chandler has spent more time learning about global warming in luxurious and exotic locales than he has ever spent or will spend anywhere near a coal mine. And he didn't have to pay for one cent of it. Most was provided by taxpayers, the rest by environmental groups anxious to shutter our coal-fired power.
To the editor:
Does the final score on the scoreboard determine the winner? Regardless of the final score Friday night the Harrison County Thorobreds walked away winners. In a game that was David vs. Goliath the Thorobreds played with heart and made their fans proud! What a fine group of young men who have faced many trials this season and still gave it their all. What a wonderful reflection on Coach Carr and the coaching staff. When all is said and done, no matter how the season ends, these boys are winners in the game of life.
Will the madness stop?
Each year at election time, the commercials and news clips become almost unbearable. Well, not almost, most assuredly unbearable.
Enough with the mudslinging!
Tell me why I should vote for your candidate. What makes him qualified for the position?
Also with each election comes the Democrat's practice of accepting candidate endorsement letters to the editor.
Highlight the word "endorsement."

Readers Guide
1. Despite Gretchen's father dying many years prior to the opening of the book, she still seems to be struggling with the impact of his death on her family. Her pregnancy sparks reflection, and creates an opportunity to connect her past with her present. In your experience, what other life events have this impact?
2. After Gretchen reveals that she has shoplifted, does your opinion of her change? If so, how?
3. Fredrik's loyalty to his family riles Gretchen. Is she being reasonable, or does Gretchen need to accept that, for Fredrik, his family will always be a priority?
4. Meredith tries to provide a larger context for Gretchen around some of the challenges of balancing work and family. But Gretchen refuses to engage, focusing instead on her immediate situation. Should Gretchen care more about the cultural debate (and start reading all those articles)?
5. By her own admission, Gretchen has "fallen" into her jobs. In contrast, Eliza appears very driven. What, if anything, could they learn from each other?
6. Dr. Mitchell is a source of great comfort to Gretchen—a welcome distraction, even—throughout her pregnancy. Does the gender of an obstetrician matter to you?
7. Should Gretchen have kept Louisa's affair a secret from Fredrik? From Jason?
8. Gretchen and Louisa's friendship is strong but also somewhat rooted in nostalgia. Is it possible to maintain friendships, even as life circumstances change?
9. Gretchen has very particular ideas about how things should look—anything from her shoes to the paint on the bathroom walls—and can become distressed if she perceives that something looks wrong, or is out of order. Is Gretchen "just" a perfectionist, or could have other factors contributed to her obsession with appearances?
10. Is it hypocritical for Gretchen to attend church when she has significant questions regarding her faith?

Product 3/7
Some jobs are too awful to contemplate-one of them is driver for a cross-dimensional truck carrying contraband cargo.
It's lonely, desperately lonely on the deserted road, and he knew better . . . but he had to pick up the beautiful, frightened hitchhiker. Chased across every SU11 dimension by unspeakable things, carrying a cargo on a deadly timetable, driver and rider face more than danger when they find FORBIDDEN NAMES.

These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. The PO3007S is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Persol collections 2017 and 2018.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The square frame is a classical shape, highlighting the straightforwardness of the personality. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The PO3007S is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive. Blue glasses are a distinctive fashion statement. However, they are not suitable for driving. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The respective lenses are also available in your prescription strength. Our digital dispensing optician will help you find the cheapest option.

16 Responses to "The Borg Agenda Part 7C"
Amazing–I didn't know all those actors came from "Roots!" And I can't believe there was an episode like that; even in the 80's. After the "closely humanoid" black alien grabbed the white woman, you should have inserted that scene from Blazing Saddles, "Where the white women at??" LOL!! Strange that those completely human looking aliens were "closely humanoids" because in sci-fi, upright bi-pedal aliens ARE humanoids. Happy 36th btw.
Did anyone notice that the "coordinates" that were given for the indiginous people to beam up to just so happens to be an X in a circle IE the CELTIC SUN CROSS OF BA"AL ,Ever heard the term X marks the spot ?" as in MARK of the beast ? It almost seems that in a subliminal way they are cursing these indiginous people by making them beam on to that symbol.
great job lenon
Great job, Lenon. Fantastic work. I think this is some of your best work so far. Thank you for your thoughtful and careful analysis.
All the best, Marty
Thanks for good info 🙂
Hey Lenon,
Finally finished it 🙂
Great information presented. A unique one-of-a-kind in-depth look at the subtle and subconscious memes perpetuated in the Star Trek series. Truly original research. Thank you.
For the criticism, it is far too long in that it is laboriously explained repetitively, e.g. showing the clip to critique, then explaining/critiquing the subconscious meme, then showing it again, and sometimes, a third time to nail the point in. These many repetitions makes the whole series quite long, but nonetheless, it was very enjoyable and worth watching. I can see many people not being willing to spend such time and stick it through though. I have seen all the TNG, Voyager and Enterprise series and some of the Original and DS9 series, so I am familiar with the episodes, and this was a great exposure of the underlying messages contained therein.
Other than that, great work, keep illuminating. Good luck at the Free Your Mind Conference, knock it out of the park! 🙂
In regards to "Code of Honor" and Tasha saying "there would be complications" in which you propose those complications are that of racial differences, there is a change in the later series of Voyager which has the man-whore archetype of Tom Paris and the savage African Black Klingon archetype (carried on from Warf) of Belana Tores in which they become partners, and have a child.
I just wanted to point that out. The Star Trek franchise breaks some of their previous memes as they progress, likely in response to changing social conditioning towards racial differences in our society.
There are also other situations where I don't necessarily agree with your analyses as I have seen many episodes and know many subliminal memes are not carried out throughout the whole franchise, but they are indeed valid for that time in which they were made. All around, great documentary. Thanks again!
Oh, and forgot to qualify that indeed in the Paris-Tores partnership there are still racial conceptions being talked about subliminally, in that Belana is worried about her mixed-race child having defects or being a monster and such, but she overcomes her delusions. Still, Voyager is not in the same line as TNG: they don't have subjective conceptions of "complications" simply arising from having a partnership between a "white" and 'black" person as is indicated in TNG. Similar concepts of "complication" are used, but not to the same degree, as one seems to frown on interracial relationships, whereas the other promotes it.
I am exhausted after watching, so I know that doing the research must be just as draining. The truth is we are in a world we do not belong, we are more than bags of mostly water. The time is now to transcend the physical and envelope the spiritual. My journey while in its infancy has caused me to take a deeper look into myself. Your work is much appreciated and I wish you and your family continued success, peace and positivity

OTOH, "Release Notes" do not specifiy what kind of RAID triggers the problem (hardware raid, linux raid, fakeraid...).

At least is not something I have experienced before. Greetings, -- Camaleón

Lets start by defining what a Miter saw is, also called as "mitre saw", it refers to a saw (wood cutting tool), that is used for creating miters and crosscuts with accuracy in a given work piece. They are specified for cross cuts and bevel cuts. However, long cuts are not possible with miter saws. They are largely used in furniture and frame making.
Different types
Miter saws are classified into two types which are further divided to their sub types:
A manual miter saw is a straight, fine toothed and short hand driven saw used for making fine cuts on millwork. To avoid buckling of saw blade, it is also provided with an extra support at its top. It is a totally human operated simple hand tool. It is used with a miter box. This miter box works as a tray to hold the workpiece or the job in place and guides saw during the sawing operation. Miter box has slits on its sides that allow the saw to fit inside. Also, it has grooves at its bottom that helps to cut the wood throughout.
A three sided miter box is commonly used, which is open at ends and at its top. Earlier, workers used to make their own miter boxes of wood. Nowadays, readymade miter boxes are available, which are made of either molded plastic or cast aluminum. In some of miter boxes, clamps are also provided to hold small pieces tightly while cutting.
The manual saws are used mostly for fine cuts on millwork. It is usually used for 45 degree angled cuts, which allows worker to join two pieces of wood at right angles. Many other angles are also provided on the miter box. 90 and 45 degrees angle cuts are provided by all the boxes. To cut a piece, it is placed in the miter box and the cutting point is aligned with the required angle slot in the box wall. The saw blade is placed in the slot and is moved back and forth. This slot guides the saw throughout the cut and keeps the blade perpendicular to the face of the wooden piece or board.
While cutting smaller pieces, it becomes difficult to hold the piece. To solve this problem, clamping boxes are also provided. The piece to be cut is held firmly by the clamps, and hence the cutting process is made easier and more accurate. In this modern world, although manual miter saw has been largely displaced by power driven saws, it is still used in picture frame making industry. As there is no rotating blade, it is a safe and easy to use wood cutting tool. Also, hand driven saw is a cheap tool that is preferred by workers who have less workload and enough time.
Power Driven
A manual saw needs human power to operate. It works well for workers with less workload or light jobs. But for workers with heavy workload a manual unit does not fulfill their requirements. So, for heavy workloads, power driven saws are used. Power driven saw is a power operated tool which is used to make accurate cuts in a given workpiece within a less time. They are used for cutting frames and moldings.
Power driven saw has a circular blade rotating at very high rpm, which is placed on the workpiece in a controlled motion. Miter index given on the saw helps in setting a required angle of the blade with respect to the holding fence. Holding fence is the holding tool that firmly holds the workpiece. Some of power driven saws also provide a laser guide, to give a visual indication throughout the cutting process. This laser tells the positioning of the blade on the workpiece before the worker starts cutting. Some models have single line whereas others have double lines for reference.
In power driven saws, an electric motor rotates a blade that cuts the work piece. The blade has several teeth at its circumference. For soft wood, less costly steel blades are used. High speed blades are used for hard wood. Carbide tipped blade are the high costing blades that work on all kind of wood.
There are mainly 3 types of power driven saws available:
- Compound
- Double Compound
- Sliding Compoud
Compound Units
A compound miter saw is a power driven saw used to make angled and bevel cuts in a given workpiece. Bevel, here means that the blade of the saw can be tilted sideways. It has a rotating vertical pivot that allows tilting the cutter head and blade. Rotating the head allows worker to cut angled cuts in both the planes. Compound saw blades and motors are mounted on a pivoted arm, this combination is brought down on the material using a handle. The material is tightly clamped to the heavy base of the saw. The word "compound" means the angle of the blade, which is adjustable in horizontal and vertical plane. Angle adjustments are provided on the compound saw.
These types of models also provided with a blade guard. As working with blade rotating on high speeds is highly dangerous, a blade guard covers the teeth of the blade. Now days, miter saws also have blade guards that automatically retract. On lowering the blade on the workpiece, the cover retracts, and on raising the blade, it recovers the blade. Compound saws are also provided with dust bags that collect all the sawdust from the wood during the cutting process.
As the workpiece is fixed on the fence, and saw head moves, chances of kickback are negligible. This makes it a safer cutting tool for the working person. Compound miter saws are best suited for cutting narrow or small pieces of wood. They are power tools that are also used for cutting materials like cumber etc. As the pivoted point is strongly fixed to heavy base of the saw tool, the cuts made are very precise and are easily repeatable. They can be used to make cross, miter, bevel, miter + bevel i.e. compound cuts.
They are light in weight, less costly than double compound miter saws. They are easier, accurate and faster than manual miter saw box and handsaw combination. For simple tasks, light weight models are used. Simple compound miter saws are costlier than manual saws, but are much cheaper than double and sliding compound miter saws.
Double Compound Units
In a simple compound saw, the operator can tilt the saw head plus the blade only in one direction. Due to this, an operator has to flip the workpiece again and again to make several cuts. But dual compound units are advanced version of simple compound models, solves this problem.
In compound miter saw, the saw head + blade arrangement can be tilted in both sides i.e. left and right. Using double compound miter saw, complicated angle cuts can be done with great ease. It gets its name due to this dual tilting property. The workpiece is held by a fence, same as in case of simple compound miter saw.
Using a double bevel compound saw, worker can make compound and bevel cuts in both the directions, without the need to flip the large stock. This makes working convenient and efficient. Double compound miter saws are used widely in crown molding.
Double compound miter saw is same as the compound miter saw, with an added function of dual tilting option.
Sliding Compound Units
Simple compound units are good tools for cutting angled cuts or bevels. But the problem arises when a board of wider area is under operation. Simple and double compound units fail in this case. For such wider boards, a sliding type compound model is used. Sliding compound miter saw is a kind of compound saw, which has horizontally sliding arms that allows cutter head to move horizontally, so that cuts on wider boards can be obtained.
These units work in the same way as simple compound unit, but has an added functionality of sliding horizontally. Sliding compound miter saws are available both in single and double compound types. In sliding compound miter saw, rails are provided, which allows front back sliding motion of the motor blade. But due to this, the range of pivot mechanism is narrowed, which limits the thickness of the material that can be cut.
Sliding compound miter saws are used to make cross, miter, bevel and miter + bevel cuts on the wider boards. This makes the work easy and saw can be slid easily on the wood and cut it. In most sliding compound saws, crosscutting capacity is more than 12 inches.
Sliding compound miter saws are made strong enough, so that the accuracy doesn't decreases when moved or tilted. Adjustable stops of 45 and 90 degrees are usually provided for tilting of head, so that angle can be adjusted easily and accurately. Sliding compound miter saw requires large space and fits in large workshops. It is the most expensive saw out of the all types. It is a heavier saw as compared to compound saws, and is almost non-portable.
Rundown of Key Features
A Miter saw provides accurate, efficient and versatile results than a table saw or a hand saw. It can be used for cutting decks, window frames, door frames and any furniture where precise angle is important. Since it is very handy, any woodworker would want to add this to their power tool collection.
The powerful results and convenience that these saws give are extraordinary. However, several kinds of saws exist in the market and their features vary from one another. So before you decide to buy one, you better understand the features of it and choose the best model for your needs.
Wide Miter Range
One of the best features of a miter saw is its wide miter range. Manufacturers of the product typically offer a range of 50" to a maximum of 60". Since there is a variation of miter range, it is very important to choose the type of specification you really need. Some materials might not go well on a narrow miter range while others work perfectly on a wider miter range. In order to obtain the right range, determine your needs and choose a more flexible miter range. If you are having a hard time choosing, ask recommendations from friends who might have been familiar with miter saws.
Easy to Read Indexes
It is very important to work efficiently and accurately. Some models have easy-to-read indexes wherein it can transparently be seen while cutting. This is beneficial because it minimizes errors and it also promotes safety on your part. You can read the visible indexes on the miter and bevel so you will not have a hard time working on this tool. Aside from that, the easy-to-read indexes allow you to cut any wood surfaces properly. Errors are minimized and good results are achieved.
Positive Stops
The main reason why positive stops are necessary in any unit is it allows the user to adjust the angles easily. Cutting wood or any types of material is not just a one-sided direction. Most of the time, it requires certain angles to perfect the craft. To make sure that the right angles are obtained, having easy and adjustable positive stops is beneficial. Always take time to check the miter saw whether it has positive stops or not. This kind of feature also varies from one manufacturer to the other so make sure that you get the right positive stop for your convenience.
Sliding Fence
Working on complex furniture can be challenging. With the sliding fence feature of saws, the cutting process would be a lot easier. It provides a full-height support in order to cut the boards with wider dimensions. You just have to choose a durable miter saw that has this feature so that it is not difficult to work on the material and faster result is experienced. The sliding fence is actually beneficial considering that it minimizes hassles in working to users who are working on cutting and making home furniture at any sorts.
Adjustable Handle
If you want to experience maximum comfort, the best way to achieve it is to select a model that has an adjustable handle. There are some models that have multiple handle positions so whenever you use it, you can take control on what you are doing and adjust the grip accordingly. This is very helpful because you can cut materials flawlessly and not harm yourself. So before buying a saw, better choose a product that has a handle for adjusting your movements freely and without hassles. Select the right handle that you can comfortably work out.
Electric Brake
Make sure that when you buy a model, the electric brake is fully functional. This feature is very useful because it enhances your safety whenever you start using the saw. It also helps you cut faster because the blade stops seconds after releasing the trigger. You do not want to cut yourself whenever you cut wooden materials so; do a little research and check the electric brake for you to have a great experience in using a miter saw.
Easy Change Blade System
Easy change blade system is a unique feature of miter saws. The good thing about this is you do not have to change the blades one step at a time once you decide to choose which one works best for you. Making furniture and cutting wooden materials require different blades, making it time consuming. With the easy change blade system of miter saw, it is not hard to change one blade to the other. Time is more preserved that is why you can deliver the work a lot faster than using other kind of saw.
Dust Port
Sawdust is always scattered anywhere whenever you cut a wood. This can mess up your space or even cause respiratory problems. To minimize complications, using a saw with a dust port is highly recommended. A dust bag or a wet/dry vac can be connected to the unit through a dust port. This allows you to collect any sawdust and leave a clear and clean workspace. Errors are also minimized if sawdust is collected from time to time. Hence, having a dust port is important in order to deliver the best results.
Laser Guide
Cutting the wrong direction would be a waste of time and wood. If you want to avoid making mistakes, buy a model that has a laser guide. Laser guides can do a lot of help in ensuring the blade aligned properly on the planned cut. Miter saws can have a single or dual laser. The advantage of having dual lasers is it allows you to see the entire width of the material to be cut. However, if you happen to have a single laser, it will allow you to see the beginning of the cut. Whichever type of lasers you choose; this feature makes it easier to perform accurate cuts.
Saw Stand
With these types of saws there are a number of different types of stands for your portability. You can choose to have a folding stand or a stand with wheels. If you often work on long and wide materials, a stand having extensions would be very helpful. However, it is still your choice to choose a stand for your added convenience.
Key Considerations before Buying
It is definitely hard to choose the right saw for your needs. However, if you are faced with this dilemma, the best way to do is to consider the woodworking projects you will be working with. If you are working on simple and small woodwork, an simple power driven model is recommended. This is not difficult to find because an simple saw does not have complex features. Usually, this only has pivots that can be operated from left to right.
Do not also forget that you will be working on different beveled cuts, a type of cut that is angled on two separate axes. In order for you not to have much difficulty in dealing these cuts, the best way is to have a compound model that pivots on left to right, up and down. Although simple units can do different beveled cuts, it requires a lot of skills to perfect it. Hence, having a compound model would be beneficial in the long run.
Lastly, take note on the size of board you will be cutting. If you are handling a board that is 1 foot long or even greater, it is very convenient to use a sliding unit. This kind of saw is quite similar to compound saws, but its blade is installed in a sliding track in order to maintain a specific angle while cutting a wider board. Whatever kind of model you chose, it is always recommended to assess your needs first and foremost.
There are different kinds of miter saws available in the market. This type of saw is actually portable and best suited for people who deal with cutting boards of different sizes.
Once you have chosen the best model for your needs, always take a look on the instruction manual and follow the safety guidelines.
Most importantly, wear a safety eye wear whenever you use any power saw. This will let you to stay protected while sawdust are scattered at any place.

Managers On Forest v Carlisle
Carlisle manager Neil McDonald hailed his side's 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest as their best performance of the season.
A solitary strike from top-scorer Karl Hawley just seconds before the interval was sufficient to guarantee a first win in four games for the Cumbrians.
McDonald said: 'That performance was brilliant. It was a huge team performance and I won't single out individuals.
'We didn't give the opposition a sniff in front of goal. Forest are a huge club and this was a fantastic result for us.'
Forest enjoyed plenty of possession in midfield but were unable to breach a solid United defence.
Hawley's goal arrived when the visitors appeared to have cleared a Jeff Smith free-kick only for Paul Thirlwell to loft the ball back into the area.
The unmarked Hawley nodded the ball home from six yards for his eleventh goal of the season.
Forest boss Colin Calderwood moaned: 'We didn't apply enough pressure in the second half to keep Carlisle penned down and our set plays were ineffective.
'We were 15 seconds away from a fairly satisfactory first-half performance.'
The Forest boss refused to blame any hangover from the FA Cup defeat at Chelsea for his side's below-par effort.
'We could have done better on occasions in the final third but we never found the right rhythm to our game,' he said.

Most people are reflexively Stratfordians. They don't like the idea that a nobleman may have written Shakespeare's works and they believe what they've been told. And so ANONYMOUS is getting a share of condescending reviews for its merely being an Oxfordian take on the authorship issue.
But the more you look into the authorship question — really look at it and examine all the known facts — you realize that there is considerable reason to doubt that Will Shaksper wrote the plays attributed to William Shakespeare.
This is not to say that I'm an Oxfordian. What I really am is an agnostic. But I'm an agnostic who started out a condescending, sneering Stratfordian — it really is the default of the very sure-ignorant.
To me the most pesuasive of the Oxfordian books is ALIAS SHAKESPEARE by Joseph Sobran. The problem with some other Oxfordian tomes I've encountered is a tendency towad a hero worship of Oxford, who was a pretty dubious character by some accounts, and also a squeamishness about the possibility, perhaps likelihood, that he was gay. But you get this in Shakespeare stidies, too, especially ones written fifty and sixty years ago — oh, the contortions that writers subject themselves to in trying to argue that the Sonnets are 100-percent heterosexual.
Which brings us to ANONYMOUS and the two weaknesses of the film, from my point of view. One is that it is so in love with Oxford that it makes him rather boring. The second, far worse, is that it ties the Oxfordian authorship theory, which is entire plausible and possible, with a completely insane conspiracy theory regarding Elizabeth I. Apparently, Elizabeth had not one, not two, but three sons born out of wedlock, in secrecy, AND, AND, AND these fellas kept running into each other, and she kept running into them, without ever knowing it.
However, there are two things I like very much about ANONYMOUS that I also want to mention. One is the presentation of Shakespeare (Rafe Spall) as an idiot and an opportunist — very funny, and guaranteed to send strict Stratfordians through the roof. The other is the very clever way the movie accounts for and circumvents the strongest weapon in the Stratfordian arsenal — Ben Jonson's assertion that Shakespeare wrote the plays. Why would he say that if Shakespeare hadn't? ANONYMOUS is really all about setting up a situation in which such behavior makes sense.

Statement of Eleanor Smeal on the Death of Geraldine Ferraro
We are saddened today to learn of the death of Geraldine Ferraro. She was an historic feminist, a compassionate humanitarian and a role model for generations of women and girls seeking to break the glass ceiling.
She was a champion for women's rights during her three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, but of course she's most remembered for her historic run for vice president in 1984. As Ferraro traveled the country, she attracted huge crowds eager to vote for a woman for such a high office.
Aside from her political accomplishments, she provided courageous inspiration to millions of people combatting cancer, and helped countless people fighting multiple myeloma.
I had the privilege of working on women's issues with Gerry for many years, and also saw her compassion and strength in action as she helped a dear friend of mine in her own struggle against multiple myeloma. We will miss her very much.

Moore Brothers Music opened its doors in August 2004 by brothers Scott and Troy Moore. Troy had been teaching guitar for over a decade at music stores and from his home for over a decade. Troy had also been playing for a country band and doing a lot of studio recording as a full-time musician. Scott had been playing drums for various groups while working full-time as an accountant and systems analyst for the wireless telecom industry. Both Scott and Troy have business degrees from Central Washington University.
The Moore Brothers first discussed the idea of starting a music store in 2000. They spent the next several years putting together a business plan and investigating locations all across the puget sound region. They decided on the Sammamish location after Troy had moved to a condo in Sammamish and quickly built his private lesson business out of his home.
Knowing the caliber of instructors for which he was looking, Troy started with a small team of the best instructors he could find and 4 private lesson rooms in a small 1100 sq ft store. Scott kept his day job at T-Mobile during the first six months of business until the student count grew enough to force them to hand off their remaining students to other instructors and focus solely on running the business. Soon after, in the summer of 2005, they completed their first expansion to add another 500 sq ft of retail space and 2 more lesson rooms bringing the total to 7 private lesson rooms and 1 large classroom / retail room. The large room allowed them to teach rock camps and group lessons the next two summers. They shut down for 9 days in the summer of 2008 to add 2 more lesson rooms and open up the retail area to a single room.
In the fall of 2008, Moore Brothers Music hired its first front-desk employee and began selling products online. In a few short years, the online business outgrew the small retail store and forced the addition of an office/warehouse nearby in January 2014. Now, the store is managed by Adam Guldhammer, who had taught guitar and bass at the store for several years before working at the front desk. In addition to managing the store, Adam organizes spring and fall recitals for our students held at the Boys and Girls Club Teen Center across the street.
Scott and Troy spent 2014 focusing their attention revamping the website. They utilized the extraordinary talents of their desk-staff member, Matt Clifford, to photograph all their products. He'll be adding product demo videos shortly.
Moore Brothers Music is proud to be an authorized dealer of the Fender, Squier, Jackson, and Gretsch brands.

|The original results reported that horizontal eye movements improve memory for strongly right-handed (SR) participants, but participants who are not strongly right-handed (nSR) do not show improved memory. An interaction between handedness and eye movement condition (horizontal vs. no eye movements) approached significance for correct recall and achieved significance for false recall; eye movements resulted in fewer intrusions for SR participants, but nSR participants exhibited more intrusions.

BOISE -- The Ada County Coroner's Office on Monday confirmed that a man who was shot by police after shooting two officers and a K-9 is Marco Luis Romero.
Romero, 33, was killed in the shootout Friday afternoon in Boise's Central Rim neighborhood. He had been on the run since the previous Tuesday, when police say he opened fire inside a Meridian apartment filled with his family members and friends.
A man and a woman, both 29, were struck by bullets. The woman, who was shot in the chest, may be permanently paralyzed after the bullet hit her spine, according to police officials.
RELATED: One officer released, another still critical after Boise shooting
Romero was accused of carjacking an 89-year-old woman two days later, stealing her gold Mercury Sable but leaving her unharmed on the side of the road.
Police tracked him to the Central Rim neighborhood Friday after a citizen called police to report seeing the suspect driving a car that matched the description of the stolen vehicle.
Officers were conducting a yard-to-yard search near Wilson and Irving streets when they found Romero hiding near trash cans behind a home. A gun battle ensued, and Romero, two officers, and K-9 police dog were hit.
Despite paramedics' life-saving efforts, Romero died from his injuries.
RELATED: Thousands raised for officer injured in shooting
The injured officers were rushed to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center. Cpl. Chris Davis has been released and is recovering at home. The other officer, a 17-year veteran of the force whose name has not been released, remains at the hospital in critical but stable condition.
The dog, a Belgian Malinois named Jardo, was treated at WestVet. He lost a lung, but is expected to survive his injuries and was released to his handler Saturday.
The shooting remains under investigation by the Critical Incident Task Force.

For a while, Texas was the hotbed of academic reform. A few regents, at least, were serious about improving faculty productivity, and the Texas Public Policy Foundation pushed for better data. But the bold move of publishing faculty salaries and workloads elicited angry feedback.
Now the University of Texas system (Texas has several public higher-ed systems, but this is the leading one) seems to be settling back into the normal torpor.
On Thursday, the UT Board of Regents passed a requirement for annual post-tenure review. Previously, a review was required only every six years (and according to the Austin American-Statesman not much happened as a result).
But I don't see any teeth in the document that the regents adopted. Evaluations will be the following: "exceeds expectations, meets expectations, does not meet expectations, and unsatisfactory." The criteria for dismissal are "incompetence, neglect of duty, or other good cause," but that is not anything new — and dismissal must follow "remediation," anyway.
The document goes on to say: "Individuals whose performance is unsatisfactory for two consecutive annual reviews may be subject to a comprehensive review." On the other hand, as far as I can see, they may not be.
Hasn't the federal government been evaluating staff this way for years? Hardly anyone fails to meet expectations there, and I don't see any reason why this will be different. Oh, one more reason not to think much of this: The Faculty Advisory Council approved the measure.

Bayer says farmers are seriously stressed as a result of the drought that is making it tough to make a living whether you raise livestock or grow crops. Still, the Wisconsin State Fair, now in its 161st year, saw record crowds. Part of the reason is because farmers received help from those who understand best – other farmers. CEO of the fair, Rick Frenette attributes it a feeling of camaraderie, sense of let's work together to get through this among farmers and the state at large. He says the farming community has come together, much like a large family in a time of crises would. As for the farmers' urban counterparts, it has given them a chance to see what's going on as a result of the drought and why it's so difficult to put food on everyone's table.
The southern part of the state has been hardest hit, losing as much as half of the crops raised there to the record-breaking drought. A few have considered reducing the size of their herds because they can't feed them adequately. Farmers in the central and northern part of the states are pitching in though.
Crops grown through irrigation methods, such as potatoes, sweet corn, peas and beans are out of the ground July and the first part of August. These fields typically sit empty until they are replanted in the fall with another crop. Instead, many farmers are growing a mid-season crop of grasses that will be used to feed the livestock of their neighbors.
Wisconsin's Secretary of Agriculture Ben Brancel is delighted by his state's farmers reaching out to the fellow farmers like this. He knows the gravity of the situation faced by many who planted this past spring with high hopes only to watch the plants grow, then wither and die.
Recent rainfalls have lifted spirits somewhat and there is a spark of optimism. In addition to the support coming from other farmers, the state government has made conservation lands available for the growing of much needed feed. If negative cattle sales happen, then there are fewer cows to produce milk – a staple of Wisconsin's world renowned cheese industry. And the ripple effect doesn't stop there. With less farming going on, there is less need for equipment and supplies.
To aid the process, Wisconsin's Gov. Scott Walker and the University of Wisconsin-Extension program have worked together to form the "Farmer to Farmer Network." The service allows those farmers with feed to connect with those who need it as a result of the drought.
AS for the prize vegetables and plants shown at the fair as well as the prize animals, most were unaffected by the drought as they typically receive special care all year even under the best of conditions. If there was a notable difference that might be attributed to the drought it is the fact that now record-setting ribbons were awarded in any categories.

If you are looking at for a long weekend getaway and don't feel like the hum of a city or one of Malaysia's many beautiful beaches, then I would strongly recommend heading for Taman Negara. This is reportedly the oldest rain forest in the world, 130 million years, so it should be a must on everyone's Malaysian to do list. But if that kind of history doesn't impress you then just go for the sake of getting back to nature.
For this family, we just needed an escape from city life and a chance to move at a slower and uncrowded pace. And that's exactly what we found. It was a relatively easy drive from KL, and having left just after lunch we managed to arrive mid-afternoon at Kuala Tahan Jetty, where we found a 'manned' open air parking for RM5.00 – car sorted we were ready for the jungle.
Accommodation in Taman Negara
There are many options for guest house style accommodation just across the river from Taman Negara, and as the river crossing is only RM1.00 and only takes a few minutes, and there is only a small national park entry fee this makes staying close to Taman Negara a really viable option. However, on this occasion we chose to stay at Mutiara Negara, which boarders the national park.
TripAdvisor has mixed reviews about Mutiara Negara, however, we found it comfortable and relatively clean. There was probably an ant or two in the bathroom and some mold around the edges, and definitely more than one mosquito, but where else would you find a tapir having a nap while you were eating dinner. Yes, there are creepy crawlies, but you are in the middle of a 130 million year old rain forest. More importantly, staff were friendly and helpful, food was very eatable with a good mix of Western and Asian, and we were mesmerised by the sight and sounds of the jungle.
What we did
Rapid Shooting
The afternoon that we arrive we decided to hit the rapids in a long boat, which while not quite the same as white water rafting, was a fresh way to cool down – you don't remain dry for long – and it gave us an opportunity to explore the river while traversing the rapids. It's a great thrill seeking activity with the kids but definitely not an extreme sport.
Canopy Walk
If you don't mind heights then the canopy walk is a must. Apparently it is the longest in the world. I politely declined the full experience having seen the second tier of the canopy walk, but the rest of the family relished the adventure and continued on. One of the men manning the canopy walk let us know of a viper asleep in one of the trees. We never quite found it, even with his explicit instructions (possibly a good thing). The views are stunning and there is a certain sense of peace and contentment being that far off the ground in a rain forest.
There are local guides for jungle trekking and lots of trails for long or short treks. However, if you are interested in a self-guided walk through the jungle there is a local ranger's hut, and information boards with destination duration and elevations. In our experience the times were very accurate.
We set out on our own for a morning walk with our two youngish children and no timetable or objectives. We followed a trail which was well marked, but the further you went from the lodge it was slightly overgrown in places and the path had fallen away due to rain in a couple of spots. For a longer journey I would recommend a guide. Our trek was cut short after about an hour when my youngest encountered a leech on her foot. She shrieked the jungle down and we could only placate her by promising to turn back. We carried plenty of snacks, water and insect repellent, and never ventured from the trail. Rest assured this is a large expanse of jungle – if you are unsure of your path don't venture on.
Orang Asli Village
There is an Orang Asli village open for visitors. We waved from our boat, but declined the invitation to visit.
Long Boat Trip and River Swimming
The highlight for my girls was the long boat ride to a waterfall, further into the park. As usually happens with our family we only had a few minutes at the water fall as the children deviated from the brisk walk that we had intended. Instead they played in the river and learned how to make face paint out of the rocks from our boat driver. Playing in the water and face painting outstripped the chances of too much time spent in the jungle and when asked, this was their favourite part of Taman Negara.
We love the outdoors while enjoying the creature comforts, so Taman Negara ticked all of our boxes. Taman Negara is open all year around but does have a higher rainfall from November until February. The Canopy Walk is closed during this time.

It was a cozy scene on the set of the Internet show, with Michelle Obama trading familial tales with a friendly group of Hispanic women. And who's that on the couch? Why, if it isn't Katherine Archuleta, national political director for Obama for America. The Tuesday chat was courtesy of the Web site Mamiverse, "universal empowerment for Latina moms and families," based in Miami.
The topics discussed on the site include food, health, money, school and style, and the day's guests didn't stray far from those themes. But when the most popular member of team Obama trades tales with representatives of the country's fastest-growing demographic during a tough presidential campaign, it works out rather neatly, wouldn't you say?
The first lady sympathetically related to "all the deserving kids out there in communities and households who need us fighting for them"; it's clear the "us" includes her husband, President Obama, and his administration's policies.
Not to be outdone in the "family takes it to a growing voting base" competition, team Mitt Romney released its eighth television ad in Spanish, with photogenic son – Craig, this time – singing the praises of his father as a family man with strong convictions. In "Los Invito," or "I Invite You," Craig Romney says of his dad: "I invite you to get to know him, and listen to his ideas." The campaign has also established a Spanish-language Web site.
The tough immigration reform stand Mitt Romney took in the primary to outflank right-leaning opponents hasn't helped him in the Hispanic community. Supporter Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, faulting both sides, said during his recent trip to North Carolina that Republicans sometimes forget the human element in the immigration debate. Romney photo ops with hard-liners such as Kris Kobach, an author of strict immigration restrictions in states such as Arizona, may have sown more mistrust among Hispanics. But polls show that even in states with a growing Hispanic population, the president didn't get much of a bounce after announcing that his administration would relax enforcement of immigration laws for those brought to the United States as children.
So expect more outreach with a home-style flavor, appeals to traditional values and pictures of multigenerational harmony, a message Democrats and Republicans hope will resonate with Hispanic voters and propel them to the polls.
In their corner, the president and first lady have a grandmother in the White House. Mitt Romney must figure that at the very least, he won't be facing as tough a crowd as the NAACP.

In my last post, I mentioned that We Need Encouragement Because We're All in a Battle. Today, I'd like to look at the nature of the battle between good and evil.
It's hard to talk or write about evil without sounding weird. The topic of evil makes for great novels, TV shows, and movies—as long as we feel like we can shut it off. But, when people talk about the real thing, we get a little uneasy. I do too! We're not sure exactly how to react or how to process it. We like to hear stories of God at work causing good to happen. We're not quite sure what to do with stories of the devil at work causing evil and destruction.
But it was different on April 15, 2013.
On that day, Marathon Monday in Boston, even hardened, cynical journalists and newscasters couldn't help but notice and label acts of evil.
It started out promising to be a beautiful day in New England. In April, that's not something we take for granted. I have lived about an hour north of Boston for the past 8 years, but not being a runner, I was pretty oblivious of the Boston Marathon. I knew it existed and had friends I respected for participating. But, I really didn't know that much about it myself—until that day. For some reason, I decided to find out what all the excitement was about. I was working from home, so I was able to keep the TV on in the background and check in periodically.
I loved it! I was struck by the overall atmosphere surrounding the phenomenon of the Boston Marathon—particularly the size and the spirit of the crowd. It was a joyous, festive, family occasion. What struck me the most was the absence of the usual rivalries that mark so much of Boston sports—sometimes fun, sometimes scary. The Marathon was sports at its best. It's the ultimate "open". It welcomes the "Elite" runners from all over the world. It also welcomes the average Joe from down the block. The crowds were active supporters offering cheers and occasional refreshments. As President Obama would later say of the Marathon "…it's a day that draws the world to Boston's streets in a spirit of friendly competition."
All that was impacted by a senseless and cowardly act of violence which threatened to turn a celebration of discipline, training, and achievement into a time of chaos, fear, and pain. It was a day of amazing contrasts. Extreme fear after extreme jubilation. A sense of wonder at the power of human achievement and then of a human's capacity for destruction. As we marveled at the level of devastation, we then saw the bravery of professional first-responders as well as ad hoc heroes who just responded to the need of the moment to help in any way they could.
That day was a vivid reminder for me that evil exists and when evil is at work, people suffer.
My focus here is not the particular ethnic or religious background of the two individuals responsible. I believe they were just pawns in a much greater battle of good and evil. History is full of examples of people of every nationality, race, and religion who have given us great accomplishments and also caused great devastation.
I am more concerned about the unseen aspects of this. The J.B. Phillips paraphrase of Ephesians 6:10-12 puts it well.
"In conclusion be strong—not in yourselves but in the Lord, in the power of his boundless resource. Put on God's complete armor so that you can successfully resist all the devil's methods of attack. For our fight is not against any physical enemy: it is against organizations and powers that are spiritual. We are up against the unseen power that controls this dark world, and spiritual agents from the very headquarters of evil."
In my previous post, I mentioned John 10:10, where the essence of the battle is described. Jesus said "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (ESV). The enemy of our souls derives pleasure at the pain and destruction he can bring. Quite the opposite of bringing destruction, Jesus is committed to his followers to point of laying down his own life that they may live a life worth living.
The New Testament commands Christ-followers to not forsake meeting together (Hebrews 10:19-24). This isn't just a trick to keep churches full on Sundays. The early believers faced many challenges to their new faith—from their former religious leaders, family, and friends who didn't understand, and from government authorities trying to "keep order" with the threat of beatings or imprisonment. We see a picture of a life and death struggle for the souls of mankind. In that same passage, the writer urges us to draw near to God and hold fast to Him. After that, we are told to consider how we may encourage one another and stir one another on to love and good deeds.
With this post, I've made a subtle shift. Previous posts have started with "We Need Encouragement Because…" With today's post, I'd like to get us thinking a little differently. Rather than looking for people to encourage us, let's start thinking about how we can encourage someone else. The essential key is that we draw near to God first and renew our commitment to Him. Then, knowing that He has our backs, we can focus on encouraging someone else. That's what's at the heart of the Great Commandment to love God and love our neighbors.
In the coming posts, we'll continue to explore these thoughts. But for now, please remember that the Bible paints a fuller picture than happy saints singing songs on Sundays. We see a picture of a life and death struggle for the souls of mankind—including yours and mine. That's why we need to encourage one another.
In the comments, please share one way you can encourage someone today. Think of it as a warm up for the next time you meet with your friends at church or in your small group.

Peaches, peaches, peaches!
Peaches and tomatoes are two of the best foods to preserve. They are versatile and yum yum yummy in the middle of winter when all you can get at the supermarket are imposters shipped from far away.
Here are some of the things you can do with peaches:
can or freeze with or without sugar/sweetener – whole, diced, pureed
salsa to can or to eat fresh
fruit leather (like a fruit roll-up)
If you have found something else to to with the peaches that we don't have listed here, please feel free to send us your recipe or a link to your favorite way to enjoy peaches. We'd love to share it with all of our Mackintosh Fruit Farm fans!
