Firstly, Jason Webley - Drinking Song. It's an awesome finishing number for encores. And has everything you could want out of a drinking song really, pretty much perfect. The song starts around 3 minutes in if you want to skip some of the talking, but it starts and stops, as AFP gigs tend to by their very nature.
But anyway, onto the subject of drinking. As you all are no doubt aware, I have the joyous Asian allergy to alcohol. This is not in fact, as bad as it seems, sure I go rather red and *look* ill, but I'm actually fine, it means I can get drunk pretty quick if I want, and saves me a fortune in liquor costs. I actually quite enjoy drinking when I do it, and I also have the wondrous ability to sober up instantly when adrenaline hits my system, such as someone throwing up, or a near death actuality, which makes me pretty handy to have around a party.
However, I do have one gripe with social drinking, this idea that everyone needs to drink the same amount. I admit I'm a lightweight, and I will never have the drinking stamina of the Scots, or the Russians, but as I've already said, that has advantages. I was under the impression that the idea, ultimately, is to get everyone smashed and hammered. Which is a very admirable aim in my opinion. But people get smashed and hammered at different levels to each other, so why do people need to keep up. I'm not a casual drinker. If I'm drinking I'm usually drinking with the intention of being drunk throughout the night. And being myself, I know how to do that a hell of a lot better than you do. I know, that unless its crushed ice, mint, and some lemonade, a glass 3 quarters full of spirit will not allow me to even reach the bottom of the first drink. I know, that 10 shots in a row, is a surefire way to make me throw up for 20 minutes. I know that if I drink too fast, I lose the ability to breathe as my throat closes up. I know that if I drink too much too quickly, I will pass out, at which point that's a wasted evening. I will gladly get drunk with you, but that does not mean I need to match you glass for glass, or even measure for measure. Please rest assured that I have no intention of staying sensible or coherent, but allow me to imbibe at my own pace, and relative to my technical allergy, I will be just as drunk as you throughout the night.
And for the love of god, don't pour my drinks if you're going to make every one a quintuple shot of liquor. I won't drink it, I'll stop being drunk, and then the whole fun of the night, for both/all of us, will disappear very quickly, as I get annoyed that you're bugging me to drink a drink I told you not to pour me, and you'll get frustrated that I'm not keeping up with you and am slowly sobering up. And those people who say they'll pour sensibly and then don't, and its not cause they're drunk, its cause they're cunts who insist you drink stupid amounts even though as I've mentioned, it prompts various undesirable effects in me that can swiftly end an evening in various ways? I'm gonna come get you all when the apocalypse comes. Zombies can wait. You people need to suffer first, and zombie gnawing is too good a death for you.

The Lost Ship - Poem by Frank Cortazo
Upon the vast sea, in an hour so late
A ship would appear, sailing silent and straight,
Its many oars pushing the water to tear
A path that, in moments, no more would be there. The sails of its masts stood so gallantly high
Like mountains with snow-capped peaks scraping the sky
And portals above the oars gaped at the wind
Where mortars, their thunder cries, no more would send. Grim skeletal spectres of souls long since passed
Away from this world dwelt below each tall mast
All doomed to eternally wander at sea;
The prison from which they would never be free. From some long forgotten time, weathered by age,
Had this wooden craft felt much bloodshed and rage
And pain in the decks below where had been found
Those who had, to servitude, fully been bound. Thus, always would this ship be lost out at sea
And bound to its waters would it always be;
A ghost in its voyage of hopeless despair
In search of a port that would never be there.

That's all I have to say about typhoon Glenda. Heheh, just kidding. But I'll tell you about the other stuff first.
We finally met our new mission president this week. He received a warm welcome to the Philippines with a typhoon that took a tree down in their backyard almost going through the roof. He and his wife are so great. I already love them. His wife is the peppy stylish socialite who can talk to anyone about anything, and he is the spitting image of what you'd picture a doctor as -- which, I guess is fitting, he's an orthopedic surgeon. He'll be putting that skill to good use in this mission! He's at least 6 foot 5 and ready to get things done. Very knowledgeable with a fresh perspective on everything - he's not afraid to change things and I love it. He and his wife complement each other perfectly. Their "theme" for the mission is becoming disciples of Christ.
So I'll be honest, we've hardly worked at all this week. As our zone called it, we had "P-week" again due to the typhoon that hit Manila last Wednesday. They announced it in our district meeting and told us we were not allowed to leave the house that day so we went out and bought lots of food that night. The day of the storm, our power went out first thing in the morning and then our apartment flooded in the basement where me and my companion sleep. It wasn't severe but it was bad enough. Luckily none of my things got ruined. The storm stopped around 6 PM and we were given permission to tell our families that we were ok. We also got to go out to eat since there was no electricity to cook. Neither did anyone else in the area so everywhere was packed. That night was pretty creepy because our neighborhood is already pretty dimly lit, so walking home was like being in a scary movie. We had to use candles around the house and all 6 of us sisters got scared and slept in the same room with no fan. (I wouldn't recommend it.) The next day, we still had no power but we had a meeting with the president. As we were going home, we got a call saying the AP's were gonna pick us up to sleep at the mission home because it's dangerous for sisters when there is no power because there is more crime. So President Bertin ordered American pizza for us and we had dinner with them and all of the office elders. All of us sisters got to take hot showers and sleep in the air conditioning. We even had real milk and cereal in the morning. (It's been a long time, ok?) They were happy to have us back the next night but unfortunately the power came back right as we were leaving.
Anyway, we didn't get to work in our area because there was still no power over there. There was quite a bit of damage but nobody was hurt. We were not allowed to participate in community service cleaning because it can be dangerous with electrical wiring and water. We finally got back to work on Monday which was great. I had exchanges with Sister Porter and we got to visit all of our most progressing. My testimony has grown so much watching these people change in their countenance as we have continued to teach them. I'm really hoping I don't transfer this Wednesday because I desperately want to see them be baptized, especially Nadel.
Thank you to the Brown family and also Elder Hammond for the sweet postcards! The wall is getting bigger! :)
Thank you also for the prayers. I feel very reassured knowing that people back home are remembering me in them. I love you all very much! Take care!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Mine was lovely, took the boyfriend to the family, had turkey, and then we all went bowling.
I wish I had some pictures of the lovely spread to show you all but to be honest it's all phones away at my mother's house and I love that rule. We all spend time together and talk and nap and just have a great time without all the distraction.
We also learned a great new card game, thirteen. It was awesome. My sister's fiance cleaned up.
Then we picked up the decorations at my mom's house and we went home and my boyfriend and I negotiated the location of the tree (I won) and then he had an inspired idea about the Christmas lights.
I decided against going out to the shoppers this Friday and instead am entertaining a friend. I decided to make a warm, slow cooker meal, which I'll post here later on!

Placepot Pointers – Sunday January 1
Last year's corresponding toteplacepot dividend:
2016: £851.30 (7 favourites - 3 winners & 4 unplaced)
Sunday's Placepot permutation at Cheltenham:
Leg 1 (12.15): 3 (Baden), 10 (Poetic Rhythm) & 6 (Sumkindofking)
Leg 2 (12.50): 14 (Chase The Spud), 11 (Doctor Harper) & 3 (Vyta Du Roc)
Leg 3 (1.25): 4 (Briery Belle), 3 (Clan Des Obeaux) & 1 (O O Seven)
Leg 4 (2.00): 11 (Thomas Brown), 7 (Quite By Chance) & 9 (As De Mee)
Leg 5 (2.35): 12 (Call To Order) & 7 (Rocklander)
Leg 6 (3.10): 8 (Cole Harden), 9 (L'Ami Serge) & 7 (Protek Des Flos)
Suggested stake: 486 bets to 10p stakes
Overview for Sunday - please scroll down to the bottom of the page
12.15: Six-year-olds have claimed 13 of the 14 available toteplacepot positions to date, statistics which include four of the five winners at 3/1 - 7/2** - 9/2 - 5/1. Only three trainers Nicky Henderson (BADEN), Fergal O'Brien (POETIC RHYTHM) and Tom George (SUMKINDOFKING) are live to the stats this time around. The trio is listed in marginal order of preference at the overnight stage.
Favourite factor: Three of the six favourites (including two winners) have secured toteplacepot positions thus far.
Record of the course winners in the opening event:
1/1—Pingshou (good)
1/2—Poetic Rhythm (soft)
12.50: Nine-year-olds have secured four of the last five renewals, statistics which led me to include the 2015 winner at 25/1 in my short list for the contest, following up twelve months ago with a 4/1 chance. Three vintage representatives have been declared this time around, two of which have been declared by Fergal O'Brien (on the ball again). Fergal's pair are listed in order of preference as CHASE THE SPUD and TROIKA STEPPES, with DOCTOR HARPER representing David Pipe. If the vintage is to be denied, VUYTA DU ROC could prove to be the joker in the pack.
Favourite factor: Nine of the fourteen winners to date have started at odds of 8/1 or less. 10 of the 16 favourites have finished in the frame, statistics which include two winners.
Record of the course winners in the second race:
1/4—Aubusson (soft)
1/3—Vyta Du Roc (soft)
2/7—Lamb Or Cod (2 x good)
2/17—Any Currency (2 x good to soft)
1/5—A Good Skin (good)
1/4—Troika Steppes (good)
1.25: Potentially softening ground could make BRIERY BELLE the value for money call in a fascinating renewal of this Grade 2 Novice 'Dipper' Chase. Henry Daly has his team in great form with four of his last ten runners having won, stats which include a 40/1 gold medallist. I'm aware that such conditions should not prove to be too much of a problem for O O SEVEN and CLAN DES OBEAUX though at the odds on offer, BRIERY BELLE is taken to outrun her price.
Favourite factor: Six favourites have prevailed via thirteen renewals, whilst the biggest starting price returned about the winner thus far was the 2011 winner at odds of 16/1. Five of the seven beaten favourites finished out of the frame though in all fairness, one of those events was a 'win only' contest.
Record of the course winners in the 'Dipper Chase':
1/3—O O Soft (soft)
3/8—Whisper (2 x good to soft + good)
1/3—Briery Belle (good)
2.00: 12 of the 15 winners have carried weights of 11-4 or less, whilst eight-year-olds have won three of the last six renewals. THOMAS BROWN and QUITE BY CHANCE are the only horses in the field with ticks in both of the trend boxes, whereby this pair are the first horses on the team sheet. The last three victories gained by AS DE MEE have been recorded on good to soft ground and by the time that the flag falls in the fourth race, conditions could be in his favour.
Favourite factor: Nine of the seventeen market leaders have secured toteplacepot positions (five winners).
Record of the course winners in the fourth contest:
2/10—Village Vic (soft & heavy)
1/2—Shantou Flyer (good)
1/4—Thomas Brown (soft)
2/4—Thomas Crapper (good & good to soft)
2.35: Seven-year-olds have won six of the last eleven contests, with the first named runner in my list in 2015 (ROLLING MAUL) scoring at 10/1, who was the only vintage representative in the field! Seven of the last nine winners have carried a maximum weight of 10-13, statistics which also bring CALL TO ORDER and ROCKLANDER into the overnight equation. This pair could dominate if the rain steers clear of Prestbury Park overnight and even if the wet stuff does arrive on cue, their respective handicap marks still give them chances, especially from Placepot perspectives.
Favourite factor: Only five market leaders have finished in the frame via fourteen contests (two winners) though that said, 30/40 available toteplacepot positions were filled by horses returned at 12/1 or less.
Record of the course winners in the fifth event:
2/5—Fingal Bay (good & good to soft)
1/6—Rolling Maul (soft)
1/2—Call To Order (soft)
3.10: Nicky Henderson has saddled winners in three of the last five contests in which the trainer was represented and Nicky saddles both L'AMI SERGE and PROTEK DES FLOS in an attempt to improve the ratio. Warren Greatrex had already waxed lyrical about the chance of COLE HARDEN before three of his last five runners won at 8/1, 7/1 & 5/1. Happy New Year!
Favourite factor: Four favourites have obliged via eleven renewals during the last twelve years. Nine of the eleven winners scored at a top price of 7/1.
Record of the course winners in the Placepot finale:
1/3—Camping Ground (heavy)
3/5—Old Guard (good – good to soft - soft)
1/1—Protek Des Flos (heavy)
1/6—Cole Harden (good)
All place details offered on my pages relate to an 'exact science', whereby horses that finish third in 5/6/7 runner races (and other such scenarios) are not 'placed' regarding my statistics.
Trainers with their relevant number of runners on the Cheltenham card on Sunday – followed by this season's ratio at the track + profits/losses accrued:
8—runners—Nicky Henderson (3/27 – loss of 12 points)
7—Paul Nicholls (6/31 – Slight profit)
5—Harry Fry (1/9 – loss of 3 points)
5—Fergal O'Brien (2/13 – Profit of 8 points)
4—Jonjo O'Neill (3/19 – Profit of 30 profits)
4—Colin Tizzard (5/34 – Profit of 15 points)
4—Nigel Twiston-Davies (4/26 – loss of 13 points)
4—Nick Williams (0/1)
3—Rebecca Curtis (0/8)
3—Tom George (2/15 – loss of 2 points)
3—Philip Hobbs (3/23 – loss of 7 points)
3—Martin Keighley (0/14)
2—Peter Bowen (0/2)
2—Henry Daly (1/7 – loss of 3 points)
2—Warren Greatrex (0/5)
2—Neil King (No runners)
+ 22 different trainers who each saddle just one runner on the card
83 declared runners
General overview - Corresponding Placepot dividends from last year:
Catterick: £37.10 – 6 favourites – 1 winner – 4 placed – 1 unplaced
Exeter: £36.80 – 7 favourites – 5 winners & 2 unplaced
Fakenham: £17.60 – 7 favourites – 3 winners – 2 placed – 2 unplaced
Musselburgh: 72.40 – 6 favourites – 4 winners & 2 unplaced
Southwell (A/W): £105.80 – 7 favourites – 3 winners – 2 placed – 2 unplaced


text: I get a manicure every Saturday morning so usually by Thursday or Friday it's almost shot, but last weekend I got a French and it still looks perfect. I'm considering not even going this week. I remember this happened to me last time I did French as well - I still changed it the following week, but I felt bad because it still looked so perfect! I need to remember this for the next time I go on vacation or something.

MADRID — Doctors in a Spanish hospital caring for a British boy with a serious brain tumor are finalizing details to enable him to fly for treatment in the Czech Republic.
Southern Malaga's Childern's and Maternity Hospital said its medical directors will meet Saturday to review preparations.
The hospital said 5-year-old Ashya King is in a stable condition and a flight to Prague won't pose a problem to his health. It said a special aircraft will pick him up, but it wasn't clear when.
The boy's parents, Brett and Naghmeh King were arrested a week ago by Spanish police after they removed him without medical consent from a hospital in the English city of Southampton and drove him to Malaga. They were later released as the charges against them were dropped.

Did you ever notice that each and every profession seems to have its own special language?
I.T. professionals talk about servers, IP addresses and cold boots.
Attorneys seem to like throwing around Latin phrases like habeus corpus and jurisprudence.
And doctors are always talking in acronyms and saying things like "Get me a CAT Scan!" stat! or "Get me a CT and an MRI! STAT!.
Everything's always 'stat' with them, you know? Given their fondness for acronyms you'd think Doctors would prefer the term "ASAP" to the term "STAT" but what do I know?
My brother is a sales guy and earlier this week I got to over-hear half of a phone conversation he had with one of his reps.
Here are a couple things he said:
"Oh yeah, he's a real grinder……that's great man….you're bringing the fish in the boat……as long as you're moving the chains that's all that counts…..layups count as baskets too….." and my personal favorite, "you can't boil the ocean, you know?"
Now I'm a radio guy so I realize I'm out of my element here, but in my world a grinder is a hoagie like sandwich, bringing fish into the boat is something you do on vacation in the Florida keys, moving the chains is football terminology, you don't have to be an NBA coach to know that lay-ups count as baskets, and boil the ocean?
I don't even know where in the name of God's green earth to start with that one.
Aside from its enormity, doesn't salt water boil faster than tap water? Wouldn't that make it EASIER To boil the ocean than a similar sized body of fresh water?
And why would you want to do that anyway?
As I was listening to my brother's phone conversation, two thoughts occurred to me:
1– I always thought he was in sales, but apparently my brother is a sandwich making fisherman who does oceanography work on the side when he's not busy refereeing NFL and NBA games.
2– I would make a really really REALLY lousy sales person.
Just remember: ABC.
A, Always.
B, be.
C, closing.
Because 2nd prize is a set of steak knives.
3rd prize? You're fired.

Employers – Are You Prepared for New NLRB Election Rules?
On April 14th, the new National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") election rules came into effect, creating a potential headache for employers. Perhaps most critically, the timeline between the initial petition for union election and the election itself may be as short as 13 days, giving employers limited notice of potential union organization and activity. These accelerated elections are derisively (but maybe not unjustly) referred to as "ambush" or "quickie" elections. More >
NLRB Continues to Expand its Reach
In two recent actions, the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") continued its activist role in supporting labor unions' organizing efforts. In one case, the NLRB expanded "micro-units" to the retail industry. In another instance, the NLRB entered into a reciprocal arrangement with the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") to assist in enforcing the Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA") and the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA").
In Macy's, Inc. v. Local 1445, United Food and Commercial Workers Union, decided on July 22, 2014, the NLRB permitted the cosmetic and fragrance workers employed in a single Macy's store in Massachusetts to organize. This marked the first time that the NLRB had approved a so-called "micro-unit" in the retail industry. The Board rejected Macy's argument that permitting the UFCWU to organize cosmetic and fragrance workers in one store would "allow a proliferation of micro-units based solely on the products sold by employees," resulting in "chaos and disruption of business."
The Macy's decision extended the principle, enunciated in Specialty Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center of Mobile, 357 NLRB No. 83 (2011), that it was "appropriate" under Section 9 of the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"), 29 U.S.C. § 159(b), for a labor union to organize and represent a small group of employees at a single worksite. That case involved certified nursing assistants in an extended care facility. The federal appellate court that includes Kentucky upheld the Board's decision in the healthcare industry in Kindred Nursing Centers East, LLC. V. NLRB (6th Cir. 2013).
Before Specialty Healthcare, labor unions had traditionally attempted to organize the largest number of employees per unit. Now their strategy is to target smaller units to counter broader employer organizing avoidance efforts. Smaller units will be easier to organize, and union elections could be held quickly, giving employers little time to react. Furthermore, multiple labor organizations could seek to organize several different groups of employees in a single facility.
The Board has also become involved in enforcement actions beyond the NLRA. In a recent memorandum, the NLRB's General Counsel advised regional directors that when investigating unfair labor practices ("ULP") charges, investigators should encourage each charging party to file a claim if the person "divulges facts that suggest that an employer may have committed a possible [OSHA or FLSA] violation." Before this action, the Board had already enlisted the assistance of DOL employees investigating OSHA whistleblower complaints to encourage claimants to file ULP charges to take advantage of the NLRA's longer statute of limitations.
For the next two years at least, the NLRB will likely continue to develop new ways to expand its reach into the employer-employee relationship. Employers should perform frequent workplace audits to ensure that they are in the best position to minimize problems in labor-management relations.

What Does the Northwestern Decision Mean for Unions?
It is not often that a decision from the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") makes headlines, but the recent decision declaring Northwestern scholarship football players as "employees" of the university has done just that. While those in the sports world are theorizing about the ruling's impact on college athletics, the decision does offer another takeaway. More >
Does the Northwestern Decision Change the Direction of College Athletics?
On March 26, 2014, Peter Ohr, Regional Director for the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB"), issued a landmark decision: a group of Northwestern football players receiving scholarships qualify as employees of their university, and have the right to form a union and bargain collectively. The decision followed after a petition was filed by the College Athletes Players Association ("CAPA"), led by former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter. The university opposed the petition, arguing that scholarship football players are akin to stipend-receiving graduate student assistants, who have historically been categorized as non-employees by the NLRB.

Court of Appeals Decisions Will Stick on the NLRB Poster Rule
In August of 2011, the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") approved a poster rule requiring businesses to post notifications reminding workers about their right to unionize. Employers and business groups that felt the rule was one-sided and pro-union subsequently challenged the rule and were victorious in two separate U.S. Circuit Courts. More >
NLRB's Poster Rule Struck Down by D.C. Circuit
On May 7, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia struck down a National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") ruling that would have required millions of private employers, both union and non-union, to put up posters alerting employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"). The poster informed employees of their right to join and/or form a union, collectively bargain with employers, and act jointly to improve wages or working conditions. More >
Right to Work Bills Surface in the Kentucky House
Representative Jim DeCesare (R-Bowling Green) sponsored four bills, HB 308, 309, 311, and 312, that, if passed, would add Kentucky to the growing list of "right to work" states in the country. The House Labor and Industry Committee heard the bills on February 12th, but no vote was taken. All four are currently posted in committee. More >

Dede Farrar, M.F.A. was born in Omaha, NE in 1963. Her paternal family's origins go back to the earliest days of Rapid City. Her great grandmother Ursula Cleaver worked as an illustrator for the Denver Post and also painted commissions for W.H. Over, the founder of the first natural history museum in South Dakota. Her grandfather Fred W. Farrar took iconic historical photos of early Rapid City. South Dakota state historical archives contain many references to this family. Dede Farrar was surrounded by artists in her family from her earliest memories. Her grandmother Rose Farrar taught her how to load a paintbrush and her aunt Mary taught her proper care of a brush. Her dad Don Farrar took her to his college art courses and let her build ceramic pots right next to him. These are the reasons she always wanted to be an artist, more than anything else. Making art always seemed so utterly special and beautiful.
The artist earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a field endorsement in art from Chadron State College, 1987 and a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting and printmaking from the University of South Dakota, Vermillion, 1999.
Farrar has visited Europe several times and has traveled widely, especially in the Western United States. She feels travel is important to her continuing education as an artist and finds travel generally fulfilling and stimulating.
The artist currently resides near Silver City, SD along with her ever faithful companion and muse Tiger, the Catahoula Leopard Dog.

Last Wednesday night about 75 members of the community arrived for the December meeting of the Matlacha Civic Association. Islamorada - Village of Islands, Mayor Chris Sante was invited to speak about Islamorada's 20 years experience with incorporation
"In order to gain greater insight into the pros and cons of incorporation, the Matlacha Board of Directors approved the invitation," Karl R. Deigert, MCA member, said. "Islamorada incorporated 20 years ago and has experienced many trials and tribulations during those 20 years and Mayor Sante can explain those to you."
MCA members prepared a list of questions for Sante who has served 10 years as a council member and is now in his fourth term as mayor.
Article Photos
Islamorada Mayor Chris Sante speaking to the Matlacha Civic Association.
"I'm not here to convince you to incorporate or not incorporate," Sante said. "When the issue of incorporation came up, I was originally against incorporation and then I changed my mind.
"At the time in Islamorada, there was a threat of a contractor building 100 condominiums and many residents were against it," Sante said "We realized that incorporation and a slight increase in our taxes we could come under 'home rule'.
"The biggest hurdle we had in those 20 years is our community was all septic tanks," Sante continued. "The state gave us an unfunded mandate. This means you have to change over from septic systems to sewer and the state doesn't provide the city with any money you have to pay for it yourself. The cost per household was about $25,000 per house."
Sante explained that once you incorporate, you can create rules that benefit your city. Islamorada has a regulation entitled Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) designed to restrict development.
Once incorporated, Islamorada gained the ability to restrict growth by only issuing 7 building permits every quarter. An additional benefit of limiting permits is to keep property values up.
One option Sante suggested before embarking on the incorporation route was for the citizens of Pine Island/Matlacha to go to the County Commissioners and request more independence from the county before proceeding with incorporation. If they reject the idea of added independence, then move forward with incorporating.
Some of the initial costs for Islamorada was renting a government building.
"We rented a building for 5 years and then built a City Hall," Sante said. "In the beginning the city outsourced everything but then gradually the City Council voted for our own fire department and police. But outsourcing is a cheaper way to go."
According to Sante, one big advantage incorporated Islamorada realized recently is that the city was able to clean up quickly after Hurricane Irma.
"We were able to get the job done ourselves without waiting for the county, while Key Largo and Key West are still in process," he said.
He then answered questions provided by the audience:
Q: "How does Islamorada address the need for a growing tax base without allowing commercial expansion?"
Islamorada tried to stop Walmart from building a 'big box' store on the island but lost the lawsuit. "In a way, we lost the lawsuit but in a way we did win," Sante said. "Walmart was able to build their store but wasn't able to build one larger that 10,000 feet. And the architecture of the store had to fit in to our architectural standards."
Q. "How many times has Islamorada had a millage rate increase to generate increased tax revenue? Are increases approved by referendum?"
According to Sante, Islamorada increases its millage rate almost every year and the City Council approves millage increases without referendum.
Q. "How did Hurricane Irma impact the financial reserves of Islamorada?"
"There wasn't any impact because we have a large financial reserve and luckily the hurricane didn't hit us full on we were on the edge," Samnte said. "We did spend $3 million cleaning up US 1 and we're supposed to be reimbursed from FEMA."
Q. "What parameters must be in an original charter to ensure fiscal responsibility?"
"Choosing those first City Council members is crucial," Sante said. "Our first five were from every walk of life, we weren't all in favor of development or all against."
Q. "Have you ever been challenged with a Bert Harris lawsuit?"
"All the time. We just finished up with one recently after 3 years in court - we won," Sante said.
Q. "If you had to vote for or against incorporating again what would you do?"
"I would be the first person to vote for incorporation and I'll tell you why," Sante said. "Because when I go over the bridge into Islamorada, the streets are clean, the plants look nice, the houses look nice - there's a noticeable perception that residents and even visitors see."

Interstate Gas Marketing Inc. was formed in August of 1987 by Michael Melnick, Bill Gregg, Paul Ruddy and John Pisarcik shortly after the deregulation of the natural gas industry. Our initial business model was to aggregate independent Western Pennsylvania natural gas producers and, through our pipeline transportation expertise, get their gas to multiple markets matching them with commercial and industrial end-users across the State of Pennsylvania. The stable pricing offered to the producers and lower costs enjoyed by the natural gas end-users allowed us to expand to multiple states and become one of the largest natural gas brokers in the Mid Atlantic region.
While brokering natural gas supply was our companys entry into the business, the founders background was in the upstream segment of the business (production and exploration). The success of the marketing business allowed us to expand our business efforts in the later 1980s into drilling natural gas wells in western Pennsylvania thereby developing our own natural gas supply. We later started offering working interest in wells through private placements which helped the company further expand.
Interstate Gas Marketings entry into the natural gas drilling and service section came about out of necessity. After trying to work through subcontractor problems that occurred earlier in our career we bought our own drilling rig and started what would evolve into our wholly owned energy drilling and service company, Northeast Energy.
In 1987 we started with the managing partners being the only four employees. Today we have grown to over 150 employees that have made our 3 business segments industry leaders. Today we are still a premier provider of energy supply to commercial and industrial end-users, own and manage over 900 natural gas wells in Pennsylvania along with Northeast Energy, a leading service and drilling company for the Marcellus Shale and conventional drilling industry.

Thuja orientalis L. (Cupressaceae) is an evergreen ornamental garden plant. Its medicinal value is also a well known fact in the literature. The larvae of the evergreen bagworm Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis feed voraciously on the green foliage of Thuja orientalis and construct protective bags by fastening the eaten up branches of the plant together with silk secreted by the larvae. Brown elongated bags are frequently observed hanging from the branches. Plants usually are completely defoliated and weakened that deteriorates their ornamental as well as medicinal value and it becomes a great concern to the gardener.
Thuja orientalis L. (Cupressaceae), is an evergreen species, which grown naturally in China, Korea, Japan, Iran and India2. Also, this species is widely cultivated as a common ornamental garden plant in India and other countries. A yellow dye is obtained from the young branches. The wood is used in Buddhist temples, both for construction work, and chipped, for incense burning.
Futher the species is an important medicinal plant. This plant is commonly used in Chinese herbalism. Both the leaves and the seeds contain an essential oil consisting of α-pinene, α-cedrol and ß-phellandrene8. The leaves are antibacterial, antipyretic, astringent, diuretic, emollient, expectorant, febrifuge, haemostatic, and stomachic. The root bark is used in the treatment of burns and scalds. Leaf powder has molluscidal property9. Insect may cause a considerable damage to economically important gymnosperms. Fossil record of insect-induced damage in gymnosperms date back to Middle- Upper Triassic3. Cecidomyiid leaf gall in Pinus longifolia6, Cecidomyiid stem gall in Ephedra trifurca5, defoliation of cycads by caterpillar7, mining of Podocarpous leaves by Plutellid4 and extensive leaf damage of pines by pine tube moth1 are the few reported cases of insect infestation in the extant gymnosperms.
The present paper reports an interaction between Thuja orientalis and its bagworm pest from Lower Gangetic Plains of West Bengal wherein the host plant suffered from extensive defoliation damage by the insect.
Materials and Methods
The present study was conducted in a garden located at Boalia, some 13 km south of the city of Kolkata (220 34′ N 88024′ E) during November 2009 to November, 2010. Thuja orientalis which was cultivated in the garden was kept under observation for visit of moths. Some of the caterpillars were caught alive while they are feeding. The bags or cases along with the pupa were reared and the adult was caught. Faecal pellets of the caterpillar were collected and shaken with a small amount of water. Drops of suspension were mounted in glycerine jelly and examined under microscope for any residual undigested plant parts.
Results and Discussion
Injury: The caterpillars were found feeding voraciously on the young foliage of Thuja orientalis. The principal harm done by the insect was the destruction of foliage by the caterpillars. Infested trees exhibit increasingly damaged foliage as the infestation increases until the leaves are stripped bare. The most notable sign of bagworm infestation was the presence of protective bags attached to a branch. The cases or bags were constructed from small pieces of foliage by fastening the pieces together with silk. Only one larva was found in each brown coloured bag. On average 950 eggs were found inside the bags. Faecal pellets were black in colour, rectangular in shape deposited at the bottom of the bags. The bags are elongated, measuring 4.2 cm x 2.1 cm. Within 4-5 days of bagworm infestation the host became almost completely defoliated. The adult moths were emerged after 28 days of pupation.
Insect appearance:
a) Caterpillars: Full grown caterpillars are stout, 1.9 cm to 2.54 cm long, tan brown with black spots on the head and thorax. Setae are sparsely present and they appeared naked. The larvae hatch in the spring and construct their cases and carry them about during feeding.
b) Adults: Adult moths are identified as Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis (Lepidoptera: Psychidae). Males are small, with well developed wings, hairy, and wasp like. Females are wingless, legless and worm-like and usually never leave the bag but remain inside the bags during their short adult life.
Insects have always played an important role in the life of plants. They may be a means of pollination and also a dangerous troublesome pest as well. Most injury to plants caused by insects occurs when they use various parts of the plants for food. The most troublesome insect are those that have mouthparts which are adapted for chewing the solid, woody plant parts. The newly hatched larvae of Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis randomly cut leafy branches of the host plant for making their bags. When fragmented parts are found unsuitable for making their bags they reject them and are either dropped to the ground or remain entangled to the plants as dry skirts. Such extreme defoliation gives the plant a nude appearance that is sufficient to reduce their aesthetic value for which they are planted. Further, it is worth mentioning that such defoliation damage will reduce the economic value of the plant to a great extent.
Presence of undigested tissue remains like tracheids, mesophyll tissue and fragments of leaf cuticle in the faecal matter of the insect are the direct evidences of feeding of the insect on both the leafy as well as woody parts of the host plant.
The bagworm's best defense is its camouflage bag, worn throughout its life cycle. As bagworm usually infests evergreen trees, the brown bags may be overlooked at first, appearing like seed cones. The bag allows otherwise vulnerable larvae to move freely from place to place in protected condition. The bagworm lives its entire life cycle inside the safety of its bag. Only the adult male moth leaves the protection of its bag when ready to mate.
From the above result and discussion we can conclude that the bagworm Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis is a serious pest of Thuja orientalis growing in the plains of West Bengal and cause severe defoliation damage to the plant that may substantially reduced their ornamental as well as economic value and it becomes a great concern to the gardener.

At the current point of time, almost all the people want to have a physical frame that projects them to be quite strong and fit. In such a situation as this one, it is very much natural for the art of body building to flourish among a real lot of people who live in different parts of the world.

what this is all about
This document describes a strategy that can be used as a fully or partial automated algorithmic trading strategy. Basically it is a strategy that combines several standard and some custom technical indicators. Of course a pure discretionary approach is possible too.
There is no rocket science involved and the reader will benefit in taking time to understand everything so he or she can adapt the strategy to fit his or her needs.
If your just looking for a strategy that you can start with and don`t have the time to dive deep into the details - go for it and play around with this strategy. You even can use it if you`re just started with trading.
I created this strategy having currency pairs in mind with at least one minor currency and focusing on the one hour or four hour timeframe. My favorite setup is trading 1H CHF/JPY, but I will point out other setups in a later chapter of this report.
Of course you can use this strategy for other assets than forex, you'll only need to adjust some parameters.
what to expect
You can expect a proven strategy to make money on the markets. It's a short (10 pages) but detailed description and will only contain relevant information.
what not to expect
This is no introduction to forex trading, there are other publications that fit in this category. I won't cover topics like money and risk management, trading psychology or the history of the foreign exchange markets...
This is no holy-grail money machine - you will not just push a button and start earning big amounts of money. You need to understand what you are doing and you need to adapt the strategy to fit your needs.
Limited price ($12.99) only for a few more days, original price: $69

This is an example of a sell trade using the Jeddingen Divergence indicator - and some standard indicators to confirm the validity of the original trading idea.

Halle Berry Must Rescue Her Son In New Trailer For 'Kidnap'
If somebody you love has been taken, who are you gonna turn to? Liam Neeson? Or Halle Berry? Well, in the case of the upcoming thriller Kidnap, which failed to open last December like it was supposed to (Hmmm...), it's Berry who gets the call. Not The Call like the last movie she was in where she saved a kidnapped person, but a different call, this time to save her own son.
Here's the synopsis: A typical afternoon in the park turns into a nightmare for single mom Karla Dyson (Academy Award winner Halle Berry) when her son suddenly disappears. Without a cell phone and knowing she has no time to wait for police help, Karla jumps in her own car and sets off in pursuit of the kidnappers. A relentless, edge-of-your seat chase ensues, where Karla must risk everything to not lose sight of her son. In this tense, action-fueled thriller, directed by Luis Prieto and from the producers of SALT and TRANSFORMERS, one mother's heroic attempt to take back her son leads her to ask herself how far she will go to save her child.
Prieto's name isn't well-known but he's the guy who directed that remake of Nicolas Winding Refn's Pusher that nobody over here saw. And honestly this movie looks sorta beneath Berry's talents, but then again so much of what she's done since winning an Oscar has been beneath her. Hopefully Kingsman: The Golden Circle gives her something fun to do.
Kidnap hits theaters on August 4th.

Do it yourself (DIY) upcycled bangle bracelets with this simple tips.
- A half yard of fabric will cover at least 10 bracelets.
- Lightweight cotton fabric works best, since it's supple and creates a smooth finished product.
- The fabric edges will fray slightly, giving each bangle a nice texture, for a more durable bracelet, brush a coat of decoupage finish onto both the interior and exterior surfaces.
- Kids can easily master the process (by cutting the strips for them first).
Materials needed:
- Rotary Cutter
- Straight Edge
- Lightweight Cotton Fabric
- Self-healing Mat
- Craft Glue
- Wooden Bangle
- Using rotary cutter and straight edge, cut fabric into 3/44-inch strips on self-healing mat (there's no need to cut on bias). Length needed will depend on size of bangle, widest ones shown requires a few strips totaling 100 inches, while narrow ones need about 90 inches.
- Dab a dot of the glue inside of the bangle and press end of a fabric strip there, holding in place about a minute.
- Wrap strip around bangle, overlapping and leaving about 1/3 inch exposed, pulling fabric taut. When you reach strip's end, glu to inside of bangle, and repeat until bangle is fully covered.

Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" was the big winner at the box office, bringing in $25 million in its first weekend in natiowide release. It's been in a limited run in LA and New York since November 27th.
Clint Eastwood's latest "Invictus" didn't score as well as expected, despite being the critical favorite (Rotten Tomatoes pegs it at 77%) - the Nelson Mandela pic which is already getting sizeable Oscar buzz, only managed to bring in $9 million, finishing behind Sandra Bullock's tear jerker "The Blind Side."
And the biggest loser of the weekend once again falls to "New Moon." Despite shirtless werewolf boy Taylor Lautner appearing on Saturday Night Live, the Twilight sequel dropped more than 48% from its previous weekend's numbers to fall to 4th place.
According to experts, 2009 is on track to be the first year in box office history to break $10 billion. I guess piracy hasnt really hurt the industry as much as they claim.
Here's the top ten for the weekend, according to studio estimates:
1 (16) The Princess and the Frog $25,000,000
2 (1) The Blind Side $15,450,000
3 (new) Invictus $9,085,000
4 (2) The Twilight Saga: New Moon $8,000,000
5 (4) Disney's A Christmas Carol $6,871,000
6 (3) Brothers $5,000,000
7 (6) 2012 $4,400,000
8 (5) Old Dogs $4,396,000
9 (7) Armored $3,500,000
10 (8) Ninja Assassin $2,710,000

The first thing my wife noticed when I unpacked her new 20" iMac was the glossy screen; she was very unhappy. She had gotten used to the matte finish of her 17" iMac and did not like looking into the "mirrorMac". Knowing that Apple did not give us any choices, I looked around the web and found a product that got good reviews from Photodon that was just over $40; so I ordered it. It came quickly and i tried to install it this weekend. Since it looked a lot like the screen protector I have for my iPhone, I ignored the instructions and proceeded based on the good and bad experiences I had with the iPhone's screen.
DISCLAIMER - these are my experiences and your mileage may vary. If you have never installed one of these silicon protectors before, or, if my experiences don't sound like your own previous experiences, then you should follow Photodon's instructions (the screen is not returnable once you start to lift off the backing, so make sure that you understand 100% of his instructions before you even think of starting).
All told, after unpacking everything, it took less than 15 minutes. First, I blew any random dust off the screen with my breath and then waited about 5 minutes for any dust kicked up in the area to settle. Then, being careful not to kick up any remaining dust, I cleaned off the screen with the yellow microfiber cloth supplied; I folded it into fourths and dragged it lightly across the screen horizontally back and forth, and then top to bottom; the mirror finish helped me to see any dust, dirt and smudges still on the screen. I then held the protector (with backing intact) to the iMac screen to make sure I knew how it would fit. Then I cleaned the screen again.
Then, bring very careful, I peeled off an inch or two of the bottom of the protector's backing and centered it against the bottom of the iMac screen (there is a slight flare around the black screen that you can hold the protector against). I pulled the protector on and off the bottom several times until there were no bubbles (holding it by the still-backed top of the protector). Then I grabbed the end of the backing paper and slowly peeled it off in one smooth motion, letting the protector roll off and stick to the screen as I went along (if it doesn't look like it's rolling off, stop now and retry). I had to pause a few times when large bubbles appeared and pulled the protector up and then let it roll back onto the screen. When I was done, there were a few medium bubbles and a few small ones on the screen.
I then went after each of them. I could tell that one was a [damned] dust particle that made it's way under, so I peeled the protector up from the nearest corner, carefully pulled the dust particle off and gently "rolled" the protector back onto the screen, being careful not to introduce any new bubbles (stopping and retrying when I did). Each of the larger (air) bubbles were handled similarly -- I peeled the protector up from the closest corner, pushed the bubble out (from the non-sticky side of the protector) and then gently rolled the protector down into the screen -- as Photodon recommends, a credit card works wonders here.
Within a few minutes, the job was done and the results are phenomenal. I would highly recommend getting one of these protectors from Photodon (they don't have an affiliate network -- rest assured that I get nothing from this endorsement). If you haven't worked with silicon screen protectors before, I would recommend either getting some experience putting one on your iPhone first or asking a friend (who has done them before) to help. Although you can certainly do it yourself without experience, you are likely to become frustrated (as I was the first time I put one on my iPhone); you get much better every time you do it (this is my third experience -- two iPhones and one iMac).

A 35-year-old Bayou Blue man was arrested Monday after sending a nude photo of himself to a teenage girl, authorities said.
Lafourche sheriff's detectives began investigating the incident Feb. 2 and later identified Rex Jernigan Jr. as the suspect, authorities said. Detectives took Jernigan into custody Monday and charged him with indecent behavior with a juvenile.
It is not the first time Jernigan has had a run-in with law enforcement.
Jernigan and his wife, Elizabeth G. Jernigan, 33, are also facing obscenity charges in Terrebonne Parish, authorities said.
According to the Houma Police Department, the couple recorded themselves performing sexual acts on each other shortly after 9 a.m. Sept. 14 in the Terrebonne Parish Library. They then uploaded the videos to a porn site, police said.
The couple had also recorded themselves having sex in various other businesses throughout Terrebonne Parish, police said. Investigators said several of the recordings were secured as evidence.
The couple was charged with six counts of obscenity and transported to the Terrebonne Parish jail. Those charges are still pending, Assistant District Attorney Jay Luke said.
Rex Jernigan was released Tuesday from the Lafourche Parish jail after posting $25,000 bond, authorities said.

text: Giles 2 #1 Posted July 23, 2012 For some reason, I am not allowed to start a new topic under Mechanical Tips????? I posted this in another forum and got several "Thanks"------- I bought a set of 23 x 8.50-12 lawn tractor tires off eBay. When I received them, dismounting and mounting instructions were included. Instructions--- All rims are desighened to have the tire removed and replaced from either the inside or outside of the rim. Before mounting the tire, be sure the rim sealing area is in good shape. Use appropriate size 2x4 or other method to spread the tire bead app. 1"-2" inches wider then the bead surface of the rim. Leave overnight if possible. Use a rubber lubricant or dish soap on the bead surface. I have mounted many small tires and always had to use a strap around tire to spread the bead to the rims. Not after following these instructions I could not believe how easily the tires were to mount--very little tire tool usage while mounting the tires, I simply added air--with valve core removed---tire beads were touching rim all around 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Child custody issues are typically complex. They often are contentions. But they rarely wind up in criminal court, which is one reason why a case that is being tried in New York is notable. A man is charged with international parental kidnapping for his role in helping a woman and her child cross the border into Canada and then travel to Nicaragua.
The woman left the U.S. to avoid turning her child over to her former domestic partner. The two had a civil union in Vermont before same-sex marriage was permitted. They had the child together and both women parented the child. Their relationship failed and the birth mother joined a conservative church, claiming to no longer be a homosexual.
She refused to share custody with her former partner and refused to permit visitation with the child. When a Vermont family court transferred custody to the other woman, she fled the country. The man was associated with conservative Christian organizations and is accused of helping them escape the country.
Interference with court orders of custody is never advisable. When one parent refuses to follow the court ordered custody arrangement, only conflict and dissension will result. This is never in the best interests of the child, and presuming domestic violence or child abuse is not present, both parents should be involved in their child's lives.
The child was seven-years-old when she was taken from her other parent, is now age 14 and is still assumed to be out of the country. It is unclear if she will ever be reunited with the other woman who helped to raise her. It is difficult to see any good that has come of this type of conflict and when the criminal courts become involved, the outcome is often sad and tragic.

Frankie recently introduced me to someone amazing. "Jim, this is Cid, that wonderful designer I told you about".
Cid quickly corrected him. "Jim, my name is Lisa, not Cid".
Frankie then explained why he calls her, Cid:
"Oh, it's a nickname. When Lisa says she will do something, she does it. Always. And on time. You can Consider It Done. Hence Cid".
There is always a shortage of people like Lisa. People who we can totally rely upon. People who we can bring a problem to, and know in advance that they will deliver. People who provide that all-important peace of mind, which we value so highly.
All of us could benefit massively from that kind of reputation. And it's actually pretty easy. Read this.

figure equal
A square is a rectangle with all sides equal. A square with side a has perimeter 4a and area a2.
The square is used as the unit of area; that is, a figure's area is expressed as the number of equal squares of some standard, such as square inches or square meters, that the figure can contain. In Greek geometry, the area of a figure was determined by converting the figure to a square of the same area. This is easily accomplished for triangles, rectangles, and other polygons, but is often impossible for other figures, such as circles.

Today was a great day for the United States.
Loved all the speeches (yes, even McCain's -- it sure painted the contrast, did it not?).
I sure hope enough Americans are tired of being scared and lied to all the time to give Obama a landslide.
Yeah, I know, maybe he's a complete scam.
But you know what?
He'd still be better than Bush. And McCain has promised to continue the Bushiness.
Game over, McSame.

Three reasons innovative companies are investing in landscape-scale restoration
By PJ Marshall
As the world counts down to two degrees, innovative companies are taking the lead and filling the policy void. Businesses are voluntarily setting quantifiable climate change targets; many committing to carbon neutrality. Going even further, visionary corporate leaders are delivering on climate commitments through enduring solutions that possess significant, measurable co-benefits.
For forward-thinking organizations like Eileen Fisher Foundation, VMWare, and Timberland, landscape-scale restoration is a powerful climate solution and an integral tool in their sustainability arsenal. Landscape-scale restoration is exactly as it sounds — rather than a patchwork approach, restoration projects are scaled from 10,000-100,000 acres to maximize impact and amplify the co-benefits.
What tree planting lacks in novelty and pizzazz, it makes up for in practicality, return, and impact. Listed as a solution in Article 5.1 of the final Paris Agreement, this "engineered-by-nature" climate solution is a self-sustaining approach that takes a long-term perspective of decades. For those considering options to deliver on ambitious carbon offset commitments, here are three reasons why investing in landscape-scale restoration makes great sense.

Palate: Cream, spices, tingling, fresh fruit, medicinal, plasters, Clementines. Orange peels.
Finish: Salty, more medicinal, smoked meats, peat is fleeting, tarmac, chilli, salt.
Overall: Astonishing.
