Put Your Worries To Rest, Read This Article All About Real Estate Investing
Real estate is a wonderful way to profit. Investing in real estate is common among such people. There is a lot of risk involved if you do not know the rules. This article will help guide you in the right direction. Will the rent you charge cover the cost of the mortgage payment? This is a great way for you to break even. There is nothing worse than needing to cover the mortgage yourself because the renter's payment cannot cover it. Look over the entire neighborhood before buying a property. Neighborhoods that are highly sought after will bring you value for many years to come, while a depressed neighborhood could bring you very low returns. Often, the location is worth more than the property. Be wary of any prospective tenant who tries to negotiate the rent. While he or she may just be a savvy businessperson, they could also be in a financial bind. Ask a few more questions and be careful about signing a contract with them. You may find yourself constantly fighting to get your monthly payment on time.
When investing in residential real estate, make sure you know the neighborhood you are buying in. Take for example, a new condo is launching call New Futura. You should first visit the New Futura showflat to check out the surrounding of the property. Some neighborhoods offer better resale potential, while others are better for long or short term rentals. By knowing your neighborhood, you can create a smart business plan that nets you the highest potential for future profits. Seek out new clients by contacting a title company. Ask for a list of the buyers in your area who have purchased homes similar to the type you seek. In this way, you can let them know of your interest in investing before they have even thought of reselling. Being acquainted in advance gives you an edge.
Before you buy investment property in a neighborhood, find out if the city has anything planned for the areas surrounding this neighborhood. For example, you would not want to buy in an area if the city proposed to turn an area into landfill. If there are positive improvements on the horizon, this may be a good investment. Be selective in what properties you target. Look for low cost properties that hold wide potential or appeal. Avoid high-maintenance homes with extravagant gardens or swimming pools. Look for commercial properties that could house a number of different businesses with minimal remodeling. Funky floorplans are also something to stay away from.
Never give up! Real estate investing is not a simple thing to jump into. There's a lot to learn, and you should expect quite a few bumps and bruises along the way. But with patience and increased skills from playing the game, you'll become better and better at it. Never spend all of your money investing in real estate. These funds can be used to pay any expenses involved with owning a rental property. This extra cash also helps if you can't rent the property immediately. Even if your property isn't occupied, there will still be expenses.
When assessing real estate for investment, be sure to choose properties that will pay you a fair cash value on return. Remember that purchasing a property reduces your liquid assets temporarily. You want to be sure to be able to replenish them quickly and amply. Remember that your cash was earning between 4 and 6 percent interest in the bank. When you invest it, you should seek a greater return. Begin with the purchase of a single property. Though you may be tempted to purchase multiple listings at once, this can be extremely risky for a newcomer. Begin with a single property and learn more about the strategy you want to use. You will be much better for it over the long haul.
Understand that real estate investing is a commitment. You may have heard a lot about flipping properties quickly for profit, but the reality is you are more likely to make good profits by purchasing carefully and managing the property wisely until property values increase. Purchase a property that will attract solid tenants for steady, ongoing income. Real estate can generate you a lot of income. However, if you want your investments to succeed, you need to really understand what's ahead. The above article has given you some great tips; use them when getting into the real estate investment world.

Hi, I am a freelance writer pitching an article about The (3121 N. Milwaukee) Red Apple diner's all-you-can-eat Polish buffet as a cultural landmark in Chicago, and am interested in talking with people who have eaten there many times, and/or have a strong opinion about the place.
Has anyone out there been going to the Red Apple (Czerwone Jabluszko) for many years?
What are your favorite items in the buffet?
How do you think it compares with other Polish diners in Chicago?
Thanks for your time, and I'd love to hear your thoughts. I've been published in the Washington Post and the Houston Chronicle's Sunday magazine.

|Monday, March 27, 2017. A dull-grey overcast sky, an early Spring Sunday, yesterday in New York. And cold, with temperatures in the low 40s.
|That didn't matter. Because I went as a guest of a friend to New York City Center to see the current Encores! musical revival, Cole Porter's "The New Yorkers."
The original show, which opened in 1930, was written by Herbert Fields based on a story created by cartoonist Peter Arno and writer/producer E. Ray Goetz with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. Several songs these almost 90 years later are standards in the American Songbook, while others, lesser known remain classics with cabaret artists. It was, I learned later reading Encores! Artistic Director Jack Viertel in the Playbill, that this production of the show has been sort of "restored."
The entire "restoration" is seamless. Its (new) subtitle is "A Sociological Musical Satire." What was originally a musical comedy/variety/part-vaudevillian show is now a period piece of a musical comedy/variety/part-vaudevillian show about another era of the American 20th century, but as contemporary as anything needs to be to capture your attention and make you laugh non-stop throughout.
Great performances by a GREAT cast. It remains astounding to me that there are so many very talented actors singers and dancers (all in one) here in New York.
This show that should be moved to Broadway, as is — without spectacular sets but as basic and appropriate as it is in the Encores! production. And with the same fabulous cast. Don't change a thing. Great costumes, hilarious performances, great singing and dancing (even "tap") and Cole Porter sophisticated wit, the people's wit.
|Peter Arno, who came up with the story back in the 1920s, was the first cartoonist for the New Yorker. He was barely in his 20s when he first started producing for the magazine. It was the time of Prohibition when speakeasy nightlife in the Big Town was rife and imbibing, and against the "law." People dressed and went out on the town.
|The curtain goes up, the orchestra plays the overture and the show begins, taking us up on a trip of song and dance and nonsense hilarity that only stops for a breath when the curtain rings down. The show ends with a classic Cole Porter song that is not a standard but remains a steadfast cabaret song:
"I happen to like to New York, I happen to love this town.
I like the city air, I like to drink of it.
The more I see New York the more I think of it.
I like the sight and the sound and even the stink of it.
I happen to like New York."
Leaving the audience on a great big up note.
|Last Monday night here in New York, at the Directors' Guild of America, Elizabeth Segerstrom and the Segerstrom Family, South Coast Plaza and Carnegie Hall presented in screening the New York premiere of the documentary Henry T. Segerstrom: Imagining The Future.
The scion of a Southern California farming family who settled in Orange County in the late 19th century, Mr. Segerstrom became known for transforming his family's lima bean fields in Southern California into a world-renowned luxury retail destination, South Coast Plaza. He made Nordstrom into a national presence by convincing its owners to expand beyond the Pacific Northwest to South Coast Plaza, and brought exclusive European designers such as Chanel and Hermès to Orange County, creating one of the highest grossing planned retail centers in the United States.
|Entrepreneur, philanthropist and cultural leader Mr. Segerstrom, who died in 2015, became the founder and supporter of national arts institutions in both California and New York, including Carnegie Hall and Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and a friend to leading artists including Isamu Noguchi, Plácido Domingo, Richard Serra and Valery Gergiev.
The documentary, narrated by television and Broadway star Matthew Morrison, includes recent recollections and archival footage of many of world-renowned men and women who knew Segerstrom as a business partner, patron of the arts and architecture, luxury retail innovator, and friend. They include Cesar Pelli, Isamu Noguchi, Misty Copeland, Bruce Nordstrom, Valery Gergiev, Frank Gehry, Renee Fleming, Misty Copeland, Nigel Lythgoe, Michael Gold, Rudolf Nureyev, and Peter Walker. It premieres on New York's public television stations this coming Friday, March 31 at 10:30 p.m. on THIRTEEN and Sunday, April 2 at 10 p.m. on WLIW21.
|Through his leadership and funding and the donation of Segerstrom family land, he spearheaded the creation of the Orange County Performing Arts Center, then oversaw its further expansion into a multi-disciplinary campus now named the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
During his frequent visits to New York City, Henry Segerstrom also became deeply devoted to the history and majesty of Carnegie Hall, giving major financial support to the Carnegie Hall Foundation. In 2009 he established a cross-country partnership between Carnegie Hall and Segerstrom Center for the Arts, resulting in the first presentation of Carnegie Hall's festival programming outside of New York.
|After the screening there was a champagne dinner held in the Weill Terrace Room attended by a gathering of philanthropists, cultural dignitaries, filmmakers, performing artists, and leaders of global fashion brands. Macy's CEO and Chairman Terry J. Lundgren offered welcoming remarks on behalf of Elizabeth Segerstrom, the hostess of the event, honoring the life of her husband, who died in 2015.
Lundgren also introduced Renee Fleming who sang a Puccini aria followed by a beautiful and emotionally affecting "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," which Fleming knew to be Segerstrom's favorite from her long friendship with the family.
|Guests included H.E. Nassir and Muna Rihani Al-Nasser, Charles Askegard, Prosper Assouline, Michele Ateyeh, Yanna Avis, Laurie Bodor, Ashley Bouder, Lady Liliana Cavendish, Cece Cord, Rita Cosby, Tom Costello, Drew Damman, Tiffany Dubin, Maxim and Irina Dvorovenko, Lanessa Elrod, Chip Fisher, Olivia Flatto, Christopher Forbes, Francine LeFrak and Rick Friedberg, Michele Gerber Klein, Delphine and Guillaume Gesquiere, Michael Gould, Catherine Hall, Maria Hall Brown, Catharine Hamilton, Gregory and Margaret Hedberg, John Buffalo Mailer, Kevin McKenzie, Chris Minev, Aldo Moschini, Lami Oladipo, Daniel Paltridge, Cole Rumbough, Andy Russell, Dame Jillian Sackler, Anton Segerstrom, Stephanie Stokes, Timothy and Susan Straider, Ty Woodson and Judy Zankel.

However, I love all of my matching accessory pieces - particularly my Poche Porte Monnaie NM and matching mirror because they are printed with the smaller colorful LVs. Someone help talk me out of selling it. If I do, I guess I'll need to find another black MC bag in order to use my beloved wallet, mirror and Astropill. *sniffle*

|Students Assist State Police in Embezzlement Cases
Written by Hailee Sattavara & Rachel Harrison, Central Michigan Life
Last year, Michigan State Police Lt. Jerry Carter found himself with four cases of embezzlement and needed to utilize the expertise of accountants or the cases would have been dismissed.
But Michigan State Police doesn't have forensic accountants to assist and act as expert witnesses with these cases, Carter said. He contacted Thomas Weirich, a professor of accounting, and asked for his top students in ACC 536: Forensic Accounting to assist in two of the cases.
Six Central Michigan University students assisted Michigan State Police in two arrests in two embezzlement cases.
"We were basically trying to put a big jigsaw puzzle together," Weirich said.
These students received recognition Friday afternoon at the MSP Mount Pleasant Post, 3580 S. Isabella Rd., in the form of MSP mugs and a gratitude which could never be fully extended, Carter said. Students did not receive compensation for their work.
"Anytime a case is nailed down well in the investigation, there is no trial," Carter said.
This was the case regarding embezzlement by a post leader at Veterans of Foreign Wars in Shepherd.
After more than 300 hours of pouring over banking documents, Wade Davis now sits in a Jackson prison. He was caught embezzling more than $1,000, but no more than $20,000, from the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Shepherd over the past three years.
Weirich and his students estimated Davis's actual embezzlement was closer to $80,000, but the conviction would not have been possible without the group.
Each of the two cases took about two months.
CMU accounting students helped build the credibility of the case, as there was a great deal of documentation they had found leading to the conviction, Carter said.
"I think with these cases put to rest, the communities can now start to heal," he said.
The most rewarding part was not the conviction, but getting to know the students, Carter said.
Davis will spend at least a year in jail after more than 300 hours was spent working on the case, which would otherwise be dismissed due to lack of funds available at the VFW.
"In many of these cases, they have many bank accounts (that) they transfer money from one to another," Carter said.
CMU alum Jason Baird was one student who helped MSP.
"This case was such a great resume builder," Baird said. "It was the first thing that was brought up by my interviewer."
Baird has since graduated from the MBA accounting program and started a job in Grand Rapids.
"I also was trained on how to be unbiased, which is a huge attribute to the accounting industry," Baird said.
The second case involved a man from Harrison, which Weirch and his students are estimating at $20,000 embezzled.
"If they could not have had our help, they would have dropped the investigation," Carter said.
The suspect has been arrested, but has not been sentenced as of Friday.
This year marks Weirich's 40th year at CMU, and he hopes MSP will utilize him and his students in the future.
"From my perspective, students got to apply what they learned in the classroom to the real world," Weirich said.
Other students involved include alums Dedrea Flattery and Andrew Barclay, graduate assistants Jeff Horning and Tamra Mathews and senior Richard King.

Cinema Mercantile is a New York City-based video production company. Founder Mike Collins talks to us about creating cinematic portraits and how Hightail helps him get to the final cut faster than ever.
I'm a director and cinematographer based out of NYC
My producer Rich D'Elia and I run Cinema Mercantile, an award-winning documentary film collective. We craft bespoke motion pictures that tell stories about people and their passions – what we like to call the intersection of passion and commerce.
We spent five months shooting at a motorcycle café
While producing short films for a fashion and motorcycle lifestyle site called Whiskey Grade, a friend told us that we should look at a Brooklyn store called Jane Motorcycles. We became friends with those guys so when they decided to move their shop to a bigger space, they hired us to document the process. With most of our videos, we'll go in with two camera operators and shoot in a day. For Jane Motorcycles, we started filming in January and didn't stop until May.
[vimeo 138392075 w=580 h=250]
JANE Motorcycles 2.0 from Cinema Mercantile on Vimeo.
We shot several hard drives of footage for a five-minute piece
When we first started filming, we didn't really know what we'd use. But as we went along, we started to winnow down the narrative. We always shoot the interviews at the very end. At that point we know the story and what footage we have, so we know what questions to ask. But even after the first cut, we went back and shot some additional footage so we could feature more parts of their story.
Sixty Second Cinema is a series of cinematic portraits
I'm really interested in people – like Ben McBrien, a former professional surfer who now makes high-end furniture for restaurants and stores like Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. He's a very non-traditional guy who'll never hold down a normal job. He's someone who has found a way to do something he loves and make a life from it. These are the kind of stories that I like to tell. Sixty Second Cinema is a format that allows us to just go out and film them in a low-key style. Though I think they've turned out better than any of us ever expected.
[vimeo 146444109 w=500 h=213]
Sixty Second Cinema – Ben McBrien Farmhaus Modern from Cinema Mercantile on Vimeo.
Hightail helped compress our production timeline
We were working on a big project in Virginia and needed to get video files back to an editor in Brooklyn. Typically we would take footage off of the cameras, load it to a laptop and save it to hard drives. Then you'd have to pay to ship a drive and worry about it getting lost in the mail. So in Virginia, I posted a tweet asking if anyone knew a better solution and someone from Hightail replied recommending their service. Right then and there we uploaded the footage to Hightail and sent it to the editor who started cutting it that night. Our client was expecting a first cut of the video to take a couple of weeks but we delivered it that Friday. It was a completely different way of working for us.
We had no uniformity to our review process
When getting feedback from clients, we'd tried many options, like Dropbox, Vimeo and Wipster, but nothing really stuck. We first used Hightail's Spaces feature on the Jane Motorcycles project. I had used Spaces to share the video and wasn't expecting to hear anything right way but then all of a sudden – boom – there's a comment in the Space. So I responded right away and 10 seconds later there's another comment – we're literally collaborating on the video in real time. I didn't expect it to work like that but intuitively the client knew what to do. Typically that feedback would have been given over the phone a couple of days later. Instead we had comments that we could pass straight to the editor for the next cut.
Spaces feels very professional
You don't want your client to have to watch a low-res version of their video. The compression with Spaces is really good and videos look fantastic even on a big iMac screen. I like that I can customize a Space with a still from the video so my client immediately feels like it's theirs. I also like how versioning works because you can see how a piece got from here to there with each new version.
We need cost-effective tools that can scale
We are able to offer our clients a high-end product at a competitive market rate because we have hardly any overheads. We don't even have an office and work from anywhere like the ACE Hotel lobby or co-working spaces in whichever city we're shooting. Digital content creation is changing and so should the way we work. It's the same for video collaboration. Why would we pay hundreds of dollars a month for some of the other services when Hightail costs so much less and works significantly better?

I think that there's some kind of meme going around for giving advice to your high school self. I've written letters to future versions of myself, and but it's been a long time since I've considered retrospective advice. So to my high school self, specifically my Year 8 self, I say this.
Man, high school can be a really hard place to be. You're forced to spend time with people who don't understand you, who you might not connect with, and who certainly don't appreciate your attempts at poetry. (To be frank, your poetry is clumsy, but your heart is in the right place. If you practice who knows what will happen?) You're more mature than most of the people around you, and they tease you because you're different. It's hard, I know, I've been there.
But by jove it gets better. People who are massive jerks to you right now will one day get down on one knee and ask for your forgiveness. They will grow up to be brave, mature young men who love their families and work hard at their jobs. Some of them will be assholes as long as you know them (or at least, as long as I've known them, 8 years down the track).
On that note, make more friends. It's worth it. Share your life with people, go out of your way to spend time with them. Ask people how they are and for God's sake care about the answer. I know it's hard for you to connect with people, but it doesn't mean you can't try, and you'll be so surprised as the results. There are so many good men in your life that are worth knowing and loving. But also don't be too bummed if you drift away from some of them, because you end up having a lot of good friends and companions anyway.
Speaking of friends, spend a little less time around Raiden and a little more time with everyone else. I know his approval means a lot to you, but loving and approving yourself will be much more valuable in the long run. In fact, I really encourage you to start writing affirmations and getting some positive inner-dialogue happening as early as you can. It will really make a difference to how you see yourself, and what you feel you're capable of.
When things are super tough, and pay close attention to this one, remember that you are not alone. It may feel like no one can understand the tortured anguish of your soul, but people seriously do. In fact, there are people who are kind of paid to understand what you're going through, and it's so so healthy to talk to them and share your experiences. Seriously. I cannot stress enough how easy it is to reach out to someone and make your life easier.
Well little dude, that's all the advice I have for you right now. But if you only remember one thing from my letter, let it be this: the greatest gift you can give others is to be yourself, your true self. You'll light up people's lives, and you'll know happiness like you've never dreamed. Oh and be grateful for as much as you can as often as you can, that's like super important. Peace out.

The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills has been merged with the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory reform.
The move that took place on the 5th June saw the creation of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (DBIS), which will be headed by Lord Mandelson.
The Chairman of the ECA which is funded by DIUS and has worked closely with the Department on the 'Learning Revolution' White Paper and the Informal Adult Learning Pledge says, "We await with interest clarification of the role that the new Department will see for itself in supporting learning for individuals and communities. The White Paper recognised the contribution of such provision to the arts, culture, personal development, resilience and social cohesion. These are vital during a period when an increasingly aging population is going through a process of adjustment, compounded by the effects of climate change and the credit crunch.â€
With a remit 'to build Britain's capabilities to compete in a global economy' the new department will: -
* Advocate the needs of business across government, especially of UK small businesses;
* Promote an enterprise environment that is good for business and good for consumers;
* Design tailored policies for sectors of the UK economy that represent key future strengths and where government policy can add to the dynamics of the market;
* Assess the changing skills needs of the UK economy, especially the intermediate and high skills vital in a global economy and design policies to meets them through public and privately funded life long training;
* Invest in the development of a higher education system committed to widening participation, equipping people with the skills and knowledge to compete in a global economy and securing and enhancing Britain's existing world class research base;
* Continue to invest in the UK's world class science base and develop strategies for commercialising more of that science;
* Continue to invest in skills through the Further Education system to help people through the downturn and to prepare Britain for the future;
* Deliver on the government's ambitious objectives to expand the number of apprenticeships;
* Encourage innovation in the UK;
* Defend a sound regulatory environment that encourages enterprise and skills;
* Collaborate with the RDAs in building economic growth in the English regions;
* Work with the EU in shaping European regulation and European policies that affect the openness of the single market and the competitiveness of European and British companies;
* Continue to work to expand UK exports and encourage inward investment to the UK.
In a statement Number 10 said it "would invest in a higher education system committed to widening participation†including "maintaining world class universities, expanding access to higher education, investing in the UK's science base and shaping skills policy and innovation". It adds that "It also puts the UK's further education system and universities closer to the heart of government thinking about building now for the upturn,"

A funny thing happened at DreamForce this year. The company that made it safe for CIOs to buy cloud services bought a wonderful little company called Heroku. DreamForce is not a show a lot of RailsConf old-timers care much about, but it's a place where CIOs (and the kinds of companies that have such things) go to learn about how to do things better, faster, and cheaper.

Shoshone-Bannock Tribes
by Tom Banse
Another Columbia-Snake River tribe announced Friday that it's switching from adversary to partner with the federal government. The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of eastern Idaho stand to receive millions of dollars for fish and wildlife enhancement. Correspondent Tom Banse reports.
The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes agree not to sue the federal government for 10 years over hydropower and salmon issues.
In exchange, the Idaho tribe receives $61 million from the Bonneville Power Administration. It can use the ratepayer money to rebuild fish runs on the Salmon and upper Snake Rivers.
The deal should have little effect on wholesale electricity rates over the near term, according to the BPA's Bill Maslen.
Bill Maslen: "Most of what's in this particular agreement was already planned in our 2009 as well as our 2010-11 rates."
The Shoshone-Bannocks are the fifth tribe to reach this kind of pact with federal agencies.
The Yakama, Colville, Warm Springs, and Umatilla tribes did so earlier this year.
Idaho's Nez Perce Tribe has declined to sign. Nez Perce leaders say they want to keep their options open to press for breaching the four lower Snake River dams.

from a letter by Peter Johnson in Scuttlebutt #1102
Kiel Week was established in imitation of Cowes Week, which had been first sailed in 1826. In 1891 the German Kaiser, Wilhelm II, bought the unsuccessful British challenger for the America's Cup of 1887, the 109 ft. cutter Thistle, designed by George L. Watson and built in Scotland by Henderson. (The U.S. defender Volunteer had beaten her in two straight races off New York.) Thistle was renamed Meteor, the first of five boats of that famous name.
The Kaiser began to race the yacht each year at Cowes, England, while at the same time visiting his grandmother, Queen Victoria. He decided that Germany should have an equivalent regatta, so in 1895 an annual local rowing and sailing regatta usually held at the end of June was converted with royal patronage into the Kieler Woche (Kiel Week). Meanwhile the Kaiserlicher Yachtclub (Imperial Yacht Club) was formed. It was intended to be equivalent to England's Royal Yacht Squadron.
As a footnote: in August 1945, just three months after cessation of hostilities, the British held a Kiel Week for themselves and their allies: Danes, Norwegians and American forces. Germans were not permitted on the water. It took a few years before this became a fully German regatta and then a finally a race week.
Star Class Participation in the Kieler Woche
The Pre World War II Years - by David Bolles
1931: (7 Races, 7 Entries)
The earliest mention of the Kieler Woche in Star Class literature is to be found in the 1932 Log.
1. 843 Mia VII - Dr. Andersen 39
2. 810 Paka - Laeisz & Beyn 33
3. 813 Markab - Fr. & M. Brinckman 30
4. 811 Bambuko - Domizlaff 25
5. 842 Koenigsau - Corps Holastia 23
6. 841 Uzel II - Dr. Lubinus 19
7. 844 Holland - J. & A. Maas D.N.Q.
1933: (7 Races, 7 Entries)
The 1933 Log, while reporting Norddeutsche results for the 1932 season, did not report on the Kieler Woche. The next report appeared in the 1934 Log for the 1933 season:
1. 841 Uzel II - Lubinus 41
2. 907 Hilda II - Giesecke 36
3. 898 Ha-Eff - Broschek-von Heutschler 31
4. 810 Besar - Behncke 21
5. 843 Mia VII - Andersen 17
6. 811 Bambuko - Domizlaff 16
7. 842 Koenigsau - Holsatia-Junghans 16
1934: (7 Races, 8 Entries)
The 1935 Log gives the Kieler Woche results as follows:
1. 907 Hilda II - Giesecke 44
2. 1069 Bremer - Schluessel Weser Y.C. 37
3. 811 Bambuko - Domizlaff & Laeisz 26
4. 841 Uzel - Kieler Segel-Vereinigung 25
5. 810 Besar - Behncke 22
6. 842 Koenigsau - Corps Holsatia 14
7. 843 Barandon - Kaiserliche Y.C. 13
8. 813 Markab - M.. & F. Brinckman 3
The September, 1935 issue of Starlights has an article that reads as following:
Pim Tops Kiel Week Score
Twenty-seven German, four Dutch and two Polish Stars sailed in the Kiel Week regatta at Kiel, June 16th-22nd, and the Hamburger Flotte entries carried away the honors. Pim (#1078), Walter von Hütschler skipper and P.W. Hachman crew, took six first places and one second, while Paka (#1245), sailed by P. Mylius and H. Becker, stood second in the total point list.
The skipper and crew of the third place boat, Bremen (#1069), is not given, but only the owner of the boat, Weser Y.C.
No information has been found about the 1936 Kieler Woche, but the 1937 Log lists Pimm as the winner of the event.
1. - 1078 Pimm Walter von Hütschler HF
1937: photos of 1937 Kiel Week
The 1938 Log gives only the final standings, noting that there were 7 races and 19 entries. The top three places were:
1. 1276 Gemma - Agostino. Straulino FN
2. 1263 Hilda IV - Theodore Giesecke KF
3. 1159 Moorhex III - Christian Backhaus, Jr. HF
The September, 1938 issue of Stardust and the 1939 Log give the Kieler Woche results again giving only the final standings. There were 7 races and 22 entries. The skipper of the winning yacht is unknown, and only the owner is listed. The top three places were:
1. 1626 - Marinestation der Ostsee GNN
2. 1570 - Hans-Joachim Weise BF
3. 1539 - Regia Accademia Navale RAN
For 1939 neither Starlights nor the 1940 Log carried reports of the 1939 Kieler Woche. However, Otto Schlenzka, Commodore of Kieler Yacht Club, has been kind enough to research this and found that Renato d'Ottaviano won the event. These were 7 races and 25 entries. D'Ottaviano scored firsts in races 2, 3 and 4, and seconds in races 5, 6 and 7.
1. 1540 Polluce - Renato d'Ottaviano FN
A note about the 1939 Kieler Woche by Renato d'Ottaviano (written by him in 1999, two years before his death.)
The first race was a disaster: we had little understanding of the racecourse and the bad weather raised a spray, which blowing into the eyes, did not help us to spot the famous buoys.
For the second day's race things went better and the wind was more manageable. I won over 24 participants, rivals who were among the best sailors of Europe. My crew Giuseppe Bignami and I couldn't believe it! The Polluce, that was the name of my Star, had behaved wonderfully well!
In the following races I obtained another two first places, followed by three second places. I had won all the cups reserved for Stars. Silver goblets and plates.
Today, a part of the prizes are still in my possession, but I lost several of them during the war because of the foolish idea to having some of them placed onboard the cruiser "Fiume". Those trophies went to the bottom of the sea with the cruiser. Some other trophies later I placed onboard the "Da Mosto". With the lost of that ship, another part of my prizes went to cheer the fishes. I was almost included this time, but fortunately was rescued. Between the remained goblets, one I particularly liked: it has the shape of a shaker, bearing in the center: TO THE BEST FOREIGN HELMSMAN, in German:
After Kieler Woche I went to Helsinki in order to represent the Italian Navy in the world championship between the Navies. Argentina, Denmark, France, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Italy and United States participated. At this championship there were three races. I won the first two races and was fourth in the third race. The result was that I was widely hailed for winning the event. With this new victory and a beautiful goblet, I went back to Italy.
About my crew at Kiel: His name was Giuseppe Bignami, a fantastic officer who disappeared during the war and was decorated with the highest award, the "Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare".
For the years 1940-1948 Star did not sail in the Kieler Woche. It was not until 1949 that Star participation in the event resumed. The present listing in the Star Class Logs begin with that date.
(The editor would like to thank Otto Schlenzka, Gregorio d'Ottaviano and Marc Müller for their aid in researching the information for this article.)


text: I'm in the marked for an android phone. Main use will be the obvious telephone and sms-use, and development of web-based applications towards smartphones. (maybe also native apps, as a java dev it sounds more tempting than developing for iPhone despite its wider use.) But between the htc and x10, I got an ipod, both a dslr and a p&s so neither the sound quality nor the photo quality matters that much. I saw a review of the amoled used in the n1 and the desire. That frankly put me a bit off amoled all in all. Not that I know if the x10 has a better color fidely. Then its a matter of memory, the earliest android phones were left in the dark due to low memory, what about x10 and its 256mb of ram? compared to the double in the desire. Just trying to find the tool that can last a while.

Gomphrena (Gomphrena globosa) may have an unusual name, but the little annual bloomer lights up the landscape with attractive, globe-shaped blooms in shades of bright purple, pink, white, red, orange and lavender. Each small bloom measures about 1 inch in diameter, with a single plant producing dozens of blooms from midsummer to mid-August. Gomphrena, also known as globe amaranth or globe flower, is a sun- and heat-loving plant that will attract a variety of butterflies to your garden. Once established, gomphrena is virtually maintenance-free.
Plant gomphrena in full sunlight. Select a planting spot where the soil drains well, as gomphrena is drought-tolerant but doesn't tolerate wet, soggy soil. Allow 10 to 12 inches between each plant.
Water gomphrena during periods of hot, dry weather. Provide enough water to saturate the root zone, then don't water again until the soil dries.
Pinch off wilted gomphrena blooms, as deadheading keeps gomphrena neat and tidy and prevents the plant from going to seed too early. To deadhead, pinch the faded bloom with your fingernail. Include the attached stem down to the next bloom, bud or leaf.
To grow gomphrena in a container on your patio, fill the container with any commercial potting soil. Place the container in a sunny spot, and water when the soil feels dry.

A bangle doesn't require a clasp, so this bracelet takes only a few materials to create. The hardest part is figuring out the size that's appropriate for your wrist.
- Plastic Canvas Sheet
- Scissors
- Jump Rings (I used four 6mm jump rings)
- Pliers
- Embroidery Floss
- Tapestry Needle
With scissors, cut a rectangle from the plastic canvas.
(I first cut a strip of plastic canvas that was the length of the short end of the plastic canvas sheet and was three holes in height. Then I estimated the size of the bangle by overlapping the two ends of the plastic canvas strip until it seemed like an appropriate size and secured it with two jump rings.
I then tested the size of the bangle by slipping it on my wrist. The bangle needs to be large enough to fit over the knuckles yet small enough that it doesn't look too big on the wrist.
Finding the right size may take some trial and error; I undid and redid my two jump rings a few times to figure out a comfortable size for my bangle. In the end, the length of my bangle was 9 inches. The final cut length of the plastic canvas rectangle depends not only on the circumference of your knuckles, but also the amount you overlap the two ends of the plastic canvas.
Finally, I removed the two jump rings.)
— 2 —
Once you have the correct size for your bangle (and know how many holes you'll overlap the plastic canvas ends), cut any excess length of plastic canvas.
Note: remember to cut on the row outside of the final size you want the bangle to be.
With scissors, smooth the edges of the plastic canvas rectangle.
— 4: with JUMP RINGS—
Overlap the plastic canvas ends the number of holes you want (in my case it was ten).
With pliers, thread an open jump ring through the overlapping canvas ends. Close jump ring.
Repeat Step 5 three more times, securing each end of the plastic canvas rectangle. Plastic Canvas Bangle With Jump Rings complete.
Also, consider using two colors of plastic canvas together to create a bangle by overlapping the ends of two plastic canvas pieces.
— 4: with EMBROIDERY FLOSS —
Overlap the plastic canvas ends the number of holes you want (in my case it was four).
Cut a length of embroidery floss (mine was 36 inches, but it depends on how many holes you wish to overlap in your bangle; obviously the larger the surface area you overlap the more embroidery floss you'll need to use).
Thread the tapestry needle with the embroidery floss and double/triple knot it. (The knot needs to be large enough that it won't go through the plastic canvas hole).
Thread the needle through the overlapping canvas ends in any manner you find pleasing. This will secure the plastic canvas ends together as well as add some color and pattern to the bangle.
Note: I started my sewing in the middle of the plastic canvas piece so the knot and thread ends would be towards the center of the bangle and therefore less apparent from the outside.
— 8: with EMBROIDERY FLOSS —
When sewing is done, cut the embroidery floss end (giving a tail of at least three inches) and double/triple knot the end. Cut any excess embroidery floss. Plastic Canvas Bangle With Embroidery Floss complete.
Also, consider using the embroidery floss throughout the entire bracelet or try using multiple colors.

Solus gets refreshed
Solus, the nationwide network of accident repair centres owned and operated by Aviva, is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a refreshed new brand.
Solus aims to create a warm, friendly and welcoming environment which focusses on the customers.
Its accident repair centres will have refreshed customer areas featuring real life customer stories, new signage and workshop banners. The reception areas will also include Solus's new purpose 'Welcome back to normal'.
The new brand will also help deliver the cultural changes required with investment in people through training and coaching – empowering employees to identify opportunities where we can improve outcomes for customers.
Simon Smith, Solus operations director, said, 'Car repair centres are not always the most customer friendly environments, which can be intimidating for some people. We want to change that and create a welcoming environment for all our customers.
'Being in a car accident can be a stressful experience and we want to make the repair as straightforward and convenient as possible. We want to welcome our customers back to normal and the refreshed Solus brand will do that.'
The roll-out of the new brand is underway at Cumbernauld, Warrington, Basingstoke and Bournemouth and will continue throughout the other repair centres across the country to be completed by the end of 2017.

Get a taste of 1960s British design in this retrospective show that features Clark's cuts alongside Celia Birtwell's pattern.
Fashion changes with the seasons, and the Gallery of Costume is no slouch when it comes to following that trend. Hot on the heeled pumps of Christian Dior, the gallery hosts a brand new exhibition, one that again spans a ten-year career. And this time it's the turn of influential local-boy-made-good Ossie Clark to be the star of the show. So, for spring, it's out with the old and in with the new, as the gallery fast-forwards from the post-war Dior to the peak of Ossie Clark's career in the 1960s and 1970s.
"We wanted to do something British this time," the gallery's senior curator, Miles Lambert, tells me in his book lined, glossy magazine-strewn office. "We also wanted a show that would connect with what ordinary, fashionable women bought – it will hopefully engage with women who might have actually worn the outfits."
Indeed, because, by the late 1960s, Clark was a designer whose clothes were within reach of upwardly mobile women thanks to his launch of one of the first-ever diffusion lines. From 1968, Ossie Clark for Radley ran alongside the more exclusive Ossie Clark label, which had been picked up by Alice Pollock for her Kensington boutique Quorum after Clark's graduation collection featured in Vogue. Miles Lambert shows me a photo of a Quorum-era piece he has just acquired: a pale pink mini-dress with a sporty trim (think Mary Quant on the tennis court), apparently designed for the American market.
I'm a master cutter; it's all in my brain and my fingers
It was at Quorum that Clark began to collaborate with the Bury-born textile designer Celia Birtwell, herself back in vogue thanks to several recent collections at TopShop and John Lewis. The pair had met while Clark was studying at Manchester School of Art; they later married, the terribly fashionable newlyweds famously captured by David Hockney in the painting Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy.
Birtwell's cutting-edge prints feature heavily in the Gallery of Costume retrospective, mainly on Clark's renowned flattering, feminine chiffon dresses and blouses, some complete with medieval princess sleeves. They are also present on a beautiful, brushed cotton and Biba-esque number and a fitted, quilted jacket. Clark was an expert with the scissors, famously saying "I'm a master cutter; it's all in my brain and my fingers," and his precision can be best seen in a structured jacket owned by fashion journalist Suzy Menkes, perhaps purchased after she'd seen his 1971 show, which she described as "the most extraordinary moment in fashion history".
Miles Lambert and I discuss fabrics: the jacket looks to be a treated satin, but I'm informed it's more likely polyester as Clark enjoyed using "modern" materials. Moss crepe was another favourite with the designer, and seven of his trademark draped maxi evening gowns take centre stage in the first floor dining room at Platt Hall. "It's a swirl of colour," says Lambert as he describes the installation, showing me a rainbow of single-shaded dresses showcased together. They include a bold mustard-coloured dress – another trademark, if the multiple yellow outfits here are anything to go by.
Many of the 25 pieces are on show in Manchester for the first time, although all are part of the gallery's permanent collection. British Fashion Genius continues in the changing exhibitions gallery downstairs, with short films featuring Ossie Clark designs worn by Swinging 60s Chelsea girls alongside contemporary magazines, such as a 1973 Cosmopolitan whose cover model poses in one of Clark's plunge dresses. "It's the only cover I could find," Lambert sighs. "A blast of light and then it's gone."

I've managed to get the Armored Jegan and Stark Jegan into the game. The difference between these two units actually go's past the typical "weapon swap" considering they are both based on the same unit. So I felt this was a good time to talk about the Teir 5 units and why Teir 5 really is the pinical of UC tech. Some of these units are also Teir 4 units but are still avalible in Teir 5.
The RVC-1 Guntank II is more of a mobile vehicle than a mobile suit. It is equipped with an assortment of weaponds and it's primary purpose is long range artillery support. However due to it's heavy weapons and armor its a very slow unit making it more useful for base defense rolls.
The GM-III is the typical frontline unit for Teir 4 and 5. Its equipped with a standard Beam Rifle and has decent armor. It's cost is only slightly higher than the original GM's but it's speed, armor, and firepower all range between 20% to 35% higher.
The Armored Jegan is long range artillery support. It is equipped with 2 powerful beam cannons and is heavily armored so it can take quite a hit before sucumming to enemy fire. It's firepower is roughly equivilent to the GMC-83 GM Cannon II, and it's not quite as tough armor wise, but it's speed is much faster making it easier to deploy on the battlefield.
The Stark Jegan is quick response firepower able to move as fast the RGZ91 in Waverider Mode. Power wise it's able to release a massive amount of kenetic damage against an enemy target with it's hyper bazooka and missle loadout. However, it's speed and firepower are offset by it's basic armor, so it's not able to last long in a fight.
The RGZ91 is a very powerful mass production unit. It's equipped with a rapid fire beam rifle and it is a heavily armored unit. It's main advantage is that is can switch at will between mobile suit mode and waverider mode. In Waverider mode it gains more speed and missile pods but is much more fragile to incomming fire. It is however a very expensive unit.
And there you have it. Thats a rundown of Teir 5's suits. I know some of you may be going "oh gee, 5 suits? Thats it?" Well, yea pretty much. But you also get Nu Gundam along with any other suits that you've got left over from previous teirs (time to pull those old RGM79's out of retirement and put them into the field). On top of that you have the air units still avalible (which will be getting an overhaul before the release next week) and the basic vehicles that EF gets (so that's the Jeep, Colony Defense Tank, Missile Truck, and T61 Tank). Honestly, that should be enough don't you think?

Having survived 80 years of persecution to achieve power democratically, the Muslim Brotherhood suddenly finds itself the focus of widespread popular hatred. Never have Egyptians been in such dire economic straits and civil disobedience is rampant. Demonstrations calling for getting rid of Morsi and of the Brotherhood are held on a daily basis in Cairo and in cities all over the country.
Elections held in student unions throughout the country saw Brotherhood candidates defeated by independent candidates. Elections to the key Journalists Syndicate saw the victory of Diaa Rashwan, head of the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies and a bitter opponent of the Brotherhood. In other words the Brotherhood is losing both the youth and the elites.

King Solomon
King Solomon came under the influence of the child-murderers, and he rebuilt an altar to Milcom (Molech, from the Hebrew melekh, meaning king). I Kings 11:5-8. Molech, or Moloch, was honored by his worshippers by the building of a great fire on his altar. The parents were then forced by the priests to throw their children into the fire. In excavations at Gezer (the Pharaoh Merneptah had called himself the Binder of Gezer after he put a stop to the obscene rites of the Canaanites at Gezer) Macalister, under the auspices of the Palestine Exploration Fund, from 1904 to 1909, found in the Canaanite stratum of about 1500 B.C., the ruins of a "High Place," a temple to Ashtoreth, containing ten crude stone pillars, five to eleven feet high, before which human sacrifices were offered. Under the debris in this "High Place," Macalister found great numbers of jars containing the remains of children who had been sacrificed to Baal." Another horrible practice was what they called 'foundation sacrifice.' When a house was to be build, a child would be sacrificed and its body built into the wall, to bring good luck to the rest of the family. Many of these were found in Gezer. They have been found also at Megiddo, Jericho, and other places." (Halley's Bible Handbook) Chapter 1: The War Against Shem
What is a people? A people generally shares a way of life, a language, a
food, a geography. There is no Jewish language. Shlomo Sand stumbles proudly in
English, while of course many of the people in the audience were Jews speaking
English. Food the Israelis have--stolen from the Palestinians—and still you must
say that there is an Israeli people. But they are not the Jewish people. They

The Zionist project began inventing the idea of a Jewish people in the 1870s as a reflection of other nationalisms. The Zionists turned to the Bible for the foundational myth. The biblical myths are taught in Israeli schools from before children are taught mathematics and language--taught about the biblical associations of Jews to this land. But the Exodus is a complete myth. "As a historian, I try and predict the past. I'm not a prophet." And what are the true predictions of the past: at the supposed time of the Exodus, the Egyptians also controlled Canaan. The kingdom of David and Solomon was not a kingdom at all, but a small settlement around Jerusalem. [2009] At NYU, devilish Shlomo Sand predicts the Jewish past and pastes the Zionists

The eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the ability to relocate the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be evaluated in numerous methods. The client might be asked to identify illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on what is known as the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In particular diseases, specifically in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased considerably.
It must be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can inform the physician and the client to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs provide themselves.
Subsequently, one's dependence on sight is stressed when one faces a possible or temporary irreversible loss of this important sense. When restorative steps are sought, certain forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are bothered with the fact that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were developed to encourage reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Generally, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is fixed completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are completely changed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgery is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals should understand. Probably, the primary reason that this type of eye surgical treatment has actually become well accepted is since most of its cases had actually achieved success.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be extremely risky.
Simply puts, a simple error might almost cause an person's life time loss of sight. Hence, it is crucial to think about numerous elements prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right restorative procedure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment may fix your vision but it does not necessarily mean that it can offer you a ideal vision. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always mean they have perfect vision as well.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the perfect eye surgical treatment the way many people view it
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. It should be well remembered that a client with an eye issue may have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the why not try these out eye can notify the patient and the doctor to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.
Two Important items Individuals Do Not Comprehend Pertaining To LASIK Eye Medical Procedure
The eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the ability to relocate the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and accommodation.

When he was just beginning to teach, before Muhammad gained a significant following he said that it was alright to drink.Qur'an 2:219 They ask you Concerning wine; gambling, Say "In them is great sin, And some profit for men; But the sin is greater Than the profit.
As his power base grew, he presented a stronger position. It was not acceptable to have had any intoxicants close enough to prayers to fog the mind.
Qur'an 4:43 O you who believe! Approach not prayer With a mind befogged, Until you can understand All that you say.
When his position was strongly established, he forbade the use of intoxicants entirely.
Qur'an 5:93 O you who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (Dedication) of stones, And (divination by) arrows, Are an abomination, - Of Satan' handiwork: Eschew such (abomination) That you may prosper. 94. Satan's plan is (but) To excite enmity and hatred Between you, with intoxicants And gambling, and hinder you From the remembrance Of Allah, and from prayer: Will you not then abstain?
His final revelation calls the use of intoxicants "Satan's handiwork." This puts him in the awkward position of having had Allah approve of "Satan's Handiwork' when he said that there was "some profit for men" in the use of intoxicants.
Does God vacillate on sin?
When you read the various scriptures of the world's traditions and study them, as I have, you realize that there is inherent contradiction in all of them. One chapter says to be peaceful and the other says to make things right by any means even force. It's the divine/human component of all texts.
Yes, the Qur'an contradicts itself, because in some places, the Qur'an calls for peace, but in other places, the Qur'an calls for violence. In one place, the Qur'an says not to take another life. But in another place, the Qur'an says to slay people who do not convert to Islam. The Qur'an is contradictory, and it is hard to understand what the exact teachings are as they relate to violence.
In no where does it say so in Islam please note that when you go into these topics sometimes these sort of questions especially this one lots of learned men would have discussed and debated (yes debated) and finally documented this. The modern day media has had truth twisted to the point that any terrorist is Muslim and any bomb is jihad. And that every arabic named of Muslim origin murderer is seen as the true and only follower of the religion. My dear brothers and sisters please check everything you hear
Coming back on topic here is a website that clarifies the question :-
This is a reliable website please check in such websites whether your internet sources are correct or not
This was to clarify what the first two post said regarding the fact that islam is said to be peaceful yet at the same time urges you to be violent and kill people

formation of mirage
A necessary condition for the formation of a mirage is that the density of air increases with height. Show that this condition is realized if the decrease of atmospheric temperature with height exceeds 3.5(dry lapse rate),the dry adiabatic lapse rate. Where would you expect this occur in the Earth's atmosphere and why ?

Web Abstract:
Analyzes data from the 1969, 1977, 1983, 1990, 1995, and 2001 National Personal Transportation Survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation to document the proportion of students actively commuting to school in aggregate and by subgroups and analyze the relative influence of trip, child, and household characteristics across survey years. The data show that in 1969, 40.7% of students walked or biked to school; by 2001, the proportion was 12.9%. Distance to school has increased over time and may account for half of the decline in active transportation to school. It also has the strongest influence on the decision to walk or bike across survey years.

Republicans Agree on Interrogation Bill
The White House and rebellious Senate Republicans announced agreement Thursday on rules for the interrogation of presidential candidates and those suspected of having presidential aspirations. President Bush urged Congress to put it into law before adjourning for the midterm elections.
"I'm pleased to say that this agreement preserves the single most potent tool we have in protecting America," the president said. He spoke shortly after administration officials and key lawmakers announced agreement after a week of high-profile intra-party disagreement.
Maverick Senator John McCain of Arizona who has been held as a presidential candidate for seven years six months and thirteen days was one of three GOP lawmakers who told Bush he couldn't have the legislation the way he initially asked for it, said, "The agreement that we've entered into gives interrogators the tools they need to continue to ask the tough questions that need to be asked, while protecting the rights of presidential candidates to make symbolic gestures without having to put up with any unusual or tortuous questioning.
It sounds like the administration got a pretty good deal actually" because it would reinstate the press's prerogative, said John Yoo, a former Justice Department lawyer who helped write internal memos in 2002 designed to give the media more leeway in aggressive questioning of suspected candidates.
Human rights lawyers disagree on whether this flexibility, along with the bill's definition of cruel treatment, would endorse such techniques as "waterboarding"and "windsurfing" methods intended to simulate the sensation of being a regular active outdoorsy guy. Windsurfing and similar publicity methods allegedly used by press photographers to humiliate candidates are not specifically identified as crimes although some say these techniques could qualify as cruel and inhumane.
"There's no doubt that the integrity and letter and spirit of the Geneva Conventions and some of them other conventions have been preserved," McCain said, referring to international agreements that are not applicable and have absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand.
A vote in the full Senate on this bill has not yet been scheduled.

Getting to Deri Farm
To contact Justin Deri for information on CSA memberships, volunteer opportunities email info( at )derifarm.com
Deri Farm is located on the site of Skyline Farm in North Yarmouth, Maine. We are located on a half mile long road somewhat quaintly named The Lane. Coming from Route 115 or Route 9, The Lane is across the street from Stones Cafe and Bakery. At the top of The Lane is Ames Farm Center. Deri Farm is at the other end of The Lan, just about 1/3 of a mile from Routes 115 & 9.
Google Maps has us fairly well pinpointed at: 95 The Lane, North Yarmouth Maine, 04097
