Reel Smart Garden Hose Reel
Work in the garden doesn't stop when you get everything planted. You have to wrestle the watering hose, and try to roll it back up without kinks.
But we test a product that may help wash those typical hose problems away.
The colorful addition sits next to the rose and butterfly gardens... and is expected to attract even more tourists to town.
These master gardeners know all the shortcuts worth taking... but they've never heard of Reel Smart. This $70 product promises to use water power to roll your normal garden hose perfectly, every time... no electricity, no batteries, no kinking.
First, we attach the drain hose, which just pushes on. Then we hook-up the leader hose, and screw the other end onto the faucet. Now we're ready to attach the regular garden hose, which wraps around the inside wheel and up the back to where you can easily screw it onto the Reel Smart.
This lever on the side is the key to its operation. It's pushed forward to use the hose, and pulled back to rewind.
That's it! We're ready to turn the water on... and Nancy Bahm gives the beautiful bushes a drink of water. The non-profit council of garden clubs raised more than two- thousand dollars to plant this azalea garden.
Okay, now for the "reel" test! Nancy wants to see if the Reel Smart will really roll-up 100 feet of hose. You have to keep the water running as you pull the lever back to the "rewind" position...
And look at what happens!
"Oh, this is a wonderful invention!" exclaims Nancy Bahn. "It works! I like the rolling action."
"It's wonderful," echoes Nadine Davis. "At $70 it's a little pricey. But it works well."
As the hose is rolled, some of the water is diverted out of the drain attachmet. And when it gets to the end, the "donut" attachment keeps the end of the hose from going inside... and it's time to shut-off the water.
"I was wondering if this would really work," adds Nancy. "It does. I like the action of it."
We tested the $70 Reel Smart several times, with consistent results. So this curious little guy is billed as the only quack around here! Reel Smart earns an A-... and the only reason it gets the "minus" is because it's pricey.

I&M Staff Writer
Students in Brianne Cobb�s fourth grade at the Nantucket New School are learning about the United States one postcard at a time by reaching out and sending cards filled with fun facts about the island to other fourth grade students across the country.
It�s part of a geography lesson to learn about the 50 states as seen through the eyes of other fourth graders.
�We sent out a postcard to at least one elementary school in each state with a printed message describing Nantucket�s beaches, how we live on an island and people travel here by ferry or airplane, and how our life here is unique,� said Cobb.
So far, the class has received 37 postcards from across the country.
�We haven�t heard from any other island,� said Cobb, who found the postcard project at a teacher�s discussion board on the Internet. �Kids in other states are interested in the ferry and the beaches.�
Some of the postcards were hand-made with the fronts featuring drawings or paintings, while others were commercial postcards featuring tourist destinations within the state, while some were computer-generated and printed cards.
�We�ve heard from a couple of home-schooling families,� said Cobb. �It�s a neat way for them to interact with kids on paper. A lot of them will talk about what they are learning and in many cases, they are learning the same subjects we are covering.�
�We got to send postcards to different states. It was a good opportunity to send some information about the island to other kids,� said 9-year-old Kathryn Murphy.
Thomas Murphy, who is Kathryn�s triplet � the third, Meghan, goes to Nantucket Elementary School � said, �I like that you can contact people in a natural way, like when people wrote letters and sent postcards instead of communicating by the Internet.�
Kobi Moore, 9, said, �We told the kids how far we are from Cape Cod and that we are learning about the other states. My favorite postcard is from Crater Lake National Park in southern Oregon, which is the deepest lake in the United States.�
Each of Cobb�s 16 students has a favorite state.
Farrell Duce, 9, said, �California is the best state. My mother lived there!�
Lewis Mundy Shaw, 10, said he liked to send and get postcards.
�I thought it would be interesting for our children to learn directly from other children,� said Cobb. �We�ve turned it into a guessing game � I provide them with clues and they guess which state the card is from.�
This is the first year New School students are involved in the program, yet judging from the response from the students, it�s been a success.
�The kids have really enjoyed it,� said Cobb. �It has been a great way to enrich our history and social studies discussion.�

Learn about groundwater and the water cycle with an evaporation project and a water reservoir project.
Water Cycle Science Projects
Disappearing Water
To see for yourself what happens when water evaporates you will need a glass beaker and a sunny window. Evaporation is an important part of the water cycle.
What You Need:
- Clear glass beaker (150 ml or 250 ml will work well)*
- Water
- Window with lots of sunlight coming through
- Wax pencil or masking tape and markers
*You could also use a tall glass if you don't have a beaker.
What You Do:
- Fill the beaker with water up to the 150 ml mark. If you like, you can use the wax pencil to draw a line at the water level, and write 'start.'
- Set the beaker in a spot that gets a lot of sunlight through a window. Try to set it as close to the window as you can, using the windowsill if possible.
- Leave the water there for the whole day. Check on the water level every hour, and mark with the wax pencil (or use tape) where the level is at, and how many hours it has been.
- If you like, you can keep the beaker of water in the sun for several more days to see what happens.
What Happened?
The water in the beaker seems to disappear the longer you leave it in the sun. This is not a magic trick. It's science! As the sun heated up the water in the cup, some of the water evaporated into a gas called water vapor. You can't see water vapor, but you can tell that the water has changed from a liquid to a gas because there is less liquid in the cup. Right before it rains there is water vapor inside clouds. When the weather is right the water vapor will come together and form raindrops. When the water vapor starts forming tiny drops of water we call it condensation. When condensation falls to earth as rain we call it precipitation. Sometimes the droplets freeze before they get to the ground and become hail, sleet, or snow!
Make a Water Reservoir
Have you ever heard of groundwater? You can find out what it is by making your own with this project. We used the bottom of a terrarium, but any clear plastic container will work well.
What You Need:
What You Do:
- Line the bottom of your clear container with pebbles. Make sure that the pebbles you use are close to the same size. If some are large and some are small the project won't work as well. The layer of pebbles should just cover the bottom of the container so you cannot see the plastic when you look down.
- Add a layer of sand on top of the pebbles. The sand layer should be about an inch thick.
- Put soil on top of the sand. The soil layer should be between 2-3 inches thick.
- Crush up some of the leaves or grass with your hands, and sprinkle it over the soil.
- Use the spray bottle to slowly add water to your reservoir. Spray each corner until the soil is wet through (it will turn a darker color). Watch as the water slowly spreads through the soil and sand, until it comes to the open spaces between the pebbles. Add more water at each corner if you like.
What Happened?
The way you layered pebbles, sand, and soil made it possible for water to be held underground. As you learned in the previous experiment water can evaporate quickly. When it is stored underground water stays put. A reservoir is like a big container for water. Some reservoirs are man-made and the water might be kept there by a dam. Other reservoirs are natural. Water that is contained underground is called groundwater. Groundwater can provide water for a community by using wells. Groundwater might also slowly move through the ground, until it eventually ends up in a lake or river.
Water Cycle Science Lessons
You've probably heard that it's good for the earth to recycle and may have even helped in recycling paper or plastic before. Did you know that the earth recycles too? Water that starts in a river or the ocean gets recycled by forming clouds in the sky then coming down as rain. Scientists guess that there is about the same amount of water on Earth today as when it was formed. The way water is continually reused is called the water cycle. The water cycle moves water between the earth and the air in constant circle or cycle. When water moves from the earth to the sky it is called evaporation. As the sun warms water, some of it will turn into a gas called water vapor. You can't see water vapor because it is too small.
Before it rains, there is water vapor inside clouds. The vapor collects inside the cloud and forms a raindrop. This is called condensation. You can sometimes see condensation on the top of a glass of ice water. When the weather is right, water drops will fall from the sky as rain. When water comes back to the earth like this it is called precipitation. Precipitation can also mean snow, sleet, or hail. The last step of the water cycle is transpiration, where water vapor is put into the air by humans that breathe it out, or by plants. Plants and animals give water back to the air. So do rivers, lakes, and oceans. Even though we can't see water vapor, there is always a little bit in the air around us. Every stream runs into a bigger stream, which runs into a river, which will eventually run to the ocean. All of these different bodies of water evaporate slowly, just like water in a cup that you've set out in the sun. Most water vapor comes from the ocean, since oceans cover so much of Earth.
Younger kids might find the full-size PDF version of the water cycle chart helpful. Then download and print this black-and-white, unlabeled version for them to color and test what they learned.
What is Groundwater?
How do you think water gets from the ground after its rained to the rivers and oceans? Water that is stored in the ground is called groundwater. Have you ever heard of someone digging a well very deep in the ground until they get water? This is groundwater. Groundwater flows through the earth very slowly until it runs into a stream or other type of water (ponds, lakes, rivers). Because the water cycle is always moving water from one place to another, it can even carry water from one side of the world to the other. The water you drank today could have fallen as rain on China last year!

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
Miami, Florida –Much has been written over the past few days regarding Top Rank and what promises to be one of boxing's biggest scandals. What if I told you that the same alleged infractions -and individuals- grabbing headlines now were officially reported to the head of the Justice Department's -and chief law enforcement officer of the Federal Government- as far back as March of 1997?
Our investigative report has yielded the following information (in chronological order):
During a casual conversation at a Convention, NABF President Claude Jackson asks Indiana Boxing Commissioner Jacob Hall about a fighter named Tim Bennett. Mr. Hall doesn't seem to know the fighter, and bothered by that, asks for Mr. Bennett's physical description, which is remarkably similar to that of another fighter by the name of Craig Houk. Days later, his curiosity peaked, Mr. Hall asks to see Mr. Bennett's license application. He then drives to the address listed on the form, on So. Meridian St., which leads him to a cemetery, obviously a fake address.
Upon closer examination of several fighters' licenses Indiana's Jacob Hall and Missouri's Jim Hall, (no relation), realize that there are a number of applications seemingly filled out by the same person -or someone with very similar handwriting- and all are going to the same Oklahoma City address, which turns out to be Pat O'Grady's home address. The late Pat was Sean O'Grady's dad and Sean Gibbon's uncle. (More on Mr. Gibbons in a minute…)
Chicago boxing promoter Jose Venzor files a civil law suit against promoter Don King, fighter Julio Cesar Chavez, matchmaker Al Braverman and fighter Craig Houk.
Venzor's law suit alleges fraud, fight fixing and racketeering. The law suit stems from issues related to a fight which took place July 25, 1995 in Chicago between Julio Cesar Chavez and Craig Houk. According to the charges Houk is fingered as a "bought" fighter, provided to Don King through the Indiana-Oklahoma connection of Sean Gibbons and Pete Susens. Houk was paid $50,000 for this fight. (The lawsuit was reportedly settled out of court).
A 'Boxing News' article entered into evidence in an investigation by the state of Oklahoma reads in part: "Since (Sean) Gibbons has reportedly racked up over 400,000 miles on the road, playing the hinterlands with his car packed with fighters who constantly face each other in the ring, he has been romanticized by the media. TV analysts Sean O'Grady, ESPN'S Al Bernstein and Boxing News' Eric Arsnit are particularly guilty."
Indiana Boxing Commissioner Jacob Hall is deposed in Indianapolis, Indiana, regarding the Venzor v. King lawsuit. Mr. Hall introduces irrefutable documentation proving that there are serious problems with Sean Gibbons, Pete Susens, Craig Houk and others, related to fight fixing, fighters fighting under different names and a slew of other illegal activies. (Mr. Hall's deposition is over 200 pages long).
The Oklahoma Department of Labor (ODOL), responsible for the regulation of professional boxing in Oklahoma, discusses preliminary findings of their six-month investigation into the sport of boxing with the FBI, IRS and Social Security Administration. Upon completion of the investigation, the ODOL provided its full report to all above named agencies.
1) – Investigator W. A. "Skip" Nicholson submits his report entitled "Allegations of Fraud and Other Corruption in Professional Boxing" to Oklahoma Labor Commissioner Brenda Reneau. While this report is too lengthy to cite here, here are some of its highlights:
2) – Howard Altman, Editor of Philadelphia's City Paper writes award winning "King's Pawns" where he cites sordid details related to Venzor's lawsuit, as well as the so-called Sean Gibbons-Pete Susens Indiana-Oklahoma connection.
*"King's Pawns" earned an Honorable Mention in the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers' Association's 1998 Keystone Press Awards.
Reacting to the Oklahoma Report, "Allegations of Fraud and Other Corruption in Professional Boxing," Senators Richard Bryan, (D-Nev) and John McCain, (R-Ariz) write then Attorney General Janet Reno. Their 2-page letter to Ms. Reno says in part:
"We want to bring to your attention a revealing state report on allegations of fraud and corruption in the professional boxing industry. The enclosed Executive Sumary of the Special Report to the Oklahoma Labor Commissioner released February 13th, provides extensive information on corrupt practices in professional boxing. It should be of significant concern to federal law enforcement authorities.
"The Oklahoma Report is the result of a six month investigation into corrupt business practices in the boxing industry in Oklahoma, Missouri and other Midwestern states. It describes the widespread use of fraudulent names by boxers, sham fights that have been fixed by unscrupulous promoters, violations of medical regulations that protect boxers; and allegations of racketeering.
"Federal authorities should be concerned with the (Oklahoma) Report's allegations of tax evasion, Social Security fraud, harboring of fugitives, transportation of fugitives across state lines, and forgery. Oklahoma officials have notified the FBI, SSA, and IRS in this regard.
"We can assure you that the abuses described in the Report are not limited to the states or individuals described therein. This is a nationwide problem. Senate hearings over the past four years have repeatedly shown that fraud, inadequate safety standards, and unethical practices in professional boxing occur throughout the U.S. This jeopardizes the health and welfare of "unknown" club boxers, and fosters fraudulent business activity that defrauds state governments and cheats the public…"
USA Today boxing beat writer Jon Saraceno publishes an article entitled "Club-show probe catches senators' attention" (sic) and it says in part:
"Fight fixing. Forgery. Tax evasion. Social Security fraud… Welcome to the shadowy world of club-show boxing in parts of the Midwest. At least that's the contention of a recently published report -"Allegations of Fraud and Other Corruption in Professional Boxing" – written by the Oklahoma Department of Labor.
"Two well known matchmakers on the Midwest club-show circuit, Pete Susens and Sean Gibbons, are the focal point of the Oklahoma report.
"Friday, Oklahoma is expected to turn down Gibbon's application for a matchmaker's license. This week, the 30-year old Oklahoman was OK'd in Texas and Nevada, considered the most stringent commission. Gibbons has worked with top promoters Bob Arum, Dino Duva and Cedric Kushner. "Susens, from Indiana, and Gibbons are also mentioned in a federal breach of contract and fraud lawsuit filed last year (1996) against promoter Don King, matchmaker Al Braverman and two fighters."The suit involves a 1995 non title fight between Julio Cesar Chavez and Craig Houk in Chicago… Houk, from Indiana, had a record of 47-6, though the suit says his victory total was padded with "fixed fights." In a deposition Houk admitted also fighting under the names "Tim Bennett" and "Gary Meyers."
John W. Malone, then Chairman of the Indiana State Boxing Commission, also writes then Attorney General Reno. His letter says in part:
"The Indiana Boxing Commission would like to bring to your attention, allegations of fraud and corruption in the professional boxing industry. Since these allegations allude to violations of federal and state statutes in regard to tax evasion, Social Security fraud, harboring of fugitives, transportation of fugitives across state lines, and forgery, the Commission believes the U.S. Department of Justice should review the matter.
"The Professional Boxing Safety Act (p.L. 104-272) empowers federal law enforcement officials to initiate civil and criminal actions against those who violate these boxing statutes. The Indiana Boxing Commission respectfully requests your assistance in the enforcement of this act and other federal laws in this regard…"
Indiana Boxing Commissioner Jacob E. Hall contacts Oklahoma's 2nd Director of Boxing, Jim Gasso, regarding Sean Gibbons' application for a promoter's license in Oklahoma. Mr. Hall volunteered to travel to Oklahoma and personally testify against Gibbons, and his letter to Mr. Gasso says in part:
"Re: Sean Gibbons "As you are aware, I have been a boxing commissioner in the state of Indiana for the part eight years. During this time I also served as Secretary, Treasurer and now Director of the Association of Boxing Commissions. During this time, I have documented Mr. Gibbons acting as a second with many boxers using false identifications. Some of the boxers are:
|Craig Houk
|Tim Bennett and Gary Meyers
|Reggie Strickland
|Reggie Buse and Reggie Ragland
|Eric Jakubowski
|Dick Martin
|Verdell Smith
|Tim Brooks, Tommy Bowles, Terry Williams
|Rocky Berg
|Rocky Vires
"I gave this information containing photographs, video tapes, and license applications to the office of the Attorney General for the State of Indiana.
"I would recommend you investigate his relationship with Oklahoma boxer Verdell Smith. Mr. Gibbons worked Mr. Smith's corner in Indiana when he used the name Tim Brooks. Mr. Gibbons worked Mr. Smith's corner in Missouri when he used the name Tommy Bowles. Just recently Mr. Gibbons worked Mr. Smith's corner in Nevada where he used his correct name in a bout against Oba Carr.
"Based on my knowledge of Mr. Gibbons activities as a second, I would not consider Mr. Gibbons as a credible spokesman for boxing."
For the record, Mr. Hall's charges went unanswered. His effort to stop Gibbons' shady practices fell on deaf ears and in spite of his documented illegal and unethical behavior, Gibbons was issued a license in the state of Oklahoma.
One can't help but wonder how did Sean Gibbons manage to also get licensed in Nevada. Since the Association of Boxing Commissions had knowledge of these reports/incidents, it stands to reason that Marc Ratner, Executive Director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission had to have knowledge of the seriousness of the charges documented against Gibbons, but he was granted a Nevada license just the same. Hmmm…
A twenty-month probe dubbed Operation Match Book, spearheaded by an undercover New York Police Department detective working with an FBI special agent, culminates with sixteen federal agents paying a not so friendly visit to Bob Arum's Top Ranks offices in Las Vegas, Nevada. The raid is conducted pursuant to a sealed search warrant; federal agents seized computers, boxing contracts, medical records, video tapes and financial documents.
Consequently to the Las Vegas raid Bob Arum offers a statement which reads in part: "Top Rank has done nothing wrong. Top Rank does not know the scope of the government's investigation. Top Rank is lawfully cooperating with that investigation. Top Rank will not comment on or respond to the rumors, speculations, and unverified allegations appearing in the media. Top Rank will continue to focus on its business of promoting its boxers and fights and appreciates all the support it has received from the boxing industry."
Secondsout.com's Thomas Hauser reports in part: "The Top Rank personnel whose names have been most commonly bandied about during the past week are Bob Arum, Todd duBoef (Arum's son-in-law), Bruce Trampler, Sean Gibbons, Pete Susens, and Cameron Dunkin. Others outside of Top Rank such as Robert Mittleman have also been prominently mentioned… The investigation might also involve Top Rank's dealings with Telefutura and ESPN. That, in turn, could spiral into a major investigation of Telefutura's entire boxing program and ESPN2 Friday Night Fights… The world sanctioning organizations could come in for renewed scrutiny, as might the involvement of Top Rank personnel in the death of Bradley Rone…"
Shortly after the FBI came calling and Arum's statement was issued, Top Rank's honcho served the first sacrificial lamb, Sean Gibbons, whose official title had been assistant Top Rank matchmaker to Bruce Trampler.
Top Rank attorney Richard Wright tersely explained the firing:
"Mr. Gibbons was terminated for unspecified reasons and I do not believe any other employees have been terminated at this point."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sean Gibbons is rumored to be "collaborating" (as in ratting up) in this investigation, which according to a government agent who shall remain anonymous, promises to deal the sport of boxing a major blow.
It is very hard to believe that savvy Bob Arum, a one-time New York attorney in the Justice Department under Robert Kennedy, was not aware of the abominable and illegal behavior blatantly and continuously exhibited by his underlings Sean Gibbons, Pete Susens and Bruce Trampler.
It is even more inconceivable that the documented and officially reported conduct of these individuals was never a source of concern for any of the states which licensed them, Oklahoma, Texas, Nevada and/or Top Rank's boss. But wait, I believe that herein lies a story within this story…
Did Senators McCain and Brian follow up on their September 1997 letter to then Attorney General Janet Reno? If they did, what happened? If they didn't, why didn't they? What prompted the FBI to spend what had to amount to hundred of thousands of taxpayers dollars to uncover facts that had already been unearthed years prior?
Why did the investigation of these charges lodged in Oklahoma, which was thoroughly documented lead nowhere? Who stopped it and why? Let's take it a step further… Why hasn't Senator McCain made any comments regarding the Top Rank developments, and the fact that he had knowledge of these men's misconduct years ago? I ask you, what is wrong with this picture?
Is there accountability in the sport of boxing? Judging by the events discussed herein, the answer would have to be a resounding NO, there isn't any, and that definitely needs to change.
It seems like the beat goes on, and the more some of us cry out for change, the more things seem to remain the same.
For the record, Craig Houk fought in my backyard (Florida) this past December 5, at the Seminole Coconut Creek Casino, in a Warrior's Boxing Promotions. Mr. Houk was one of the participants in the evening's main event, sharing the spotlight with the senior Hector Camacho. Looking like a bad club fighter on his best day, and throwing wild punches with his eyes closed, Houk somehow managed to deck Camacho in the opening stanza, (gasp!) only to lose by way of TKO in the third round.
Perhaps this investigation will run its course, unlike the one in Oklahoma. Perhaps it will force those who feel they are above the law to give a good account of their actions, letting the chips fall where they may. If I had to make one boxing wish for the year 2004, that would definitely be it.

C-Cards/T-Cards (Tobacco)
The C-Cards and T-Cards represent tobacco issues and are one of the most popular of the designations given by Jefferson Burdick in the American Card Catalog. C-Cards represent tobacco issues in Canada while T-Cards identify those produced in the U.S. and outside of Canada.
These were cards that were either packaged directly with tobacco products or issued separately by tobacco companies. A few, such as Sweet Caporal issues, are American cards. The bulk, however, are from Canada or in other parts of the world as hockey had a limited U.S. audience. Several were part of multi-sport issues from the United Kingdom.
In addition to the catalogued issues, a host of other pre-war hockey cards were left undefined by Burdick but are presented below.
Looking to learn more about collecting tobacco cards? Here's an introduction of sorts that I wrote, which covers their history.

Two international posters are released for Chronicle and John Carter
There haven't been too many new poster announcements on this side of the ocean in 2012, but both France and Spain recently launched their own versions of two upcoming Feb/March releases as the French poster for CHRONICLE features a pretty cool tagline that translates to "Abuse of one's superhero powers may be bad for one's health", while the Spanish poster for JOHN CARTER (not of Mars) still doesn't fully manage to dial me up for the film's March 9th release. Are you excited about either of these films?

Hi ladies!
Just a really quick post today. I made an anniversary card for friends of ours, celebrating their 20th. I used lots of Hero Arts products on this one. The lace and flowers are Hero Hues, the background text is Old Letter Writing and the Sentiment is from the Everyday Sayings set. The oval Nestie and butterfly punches are cut from a sheet of Webster's Pages.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day! :)

So Qantas are starting a non-stop PER-LHR within the next few months, using B787-9's.
I guess this will finally settle the Emirates/Qatar squabble over who has the longest commercial route :-)
But how far is far enough? For me, LHR-LAX is as long as I ever want to fly again! I'd actually rather pay a bit extra and stop for a while at ORD/ATL etc...
Each to his own I guess, how far is too much for you?

Communal disharmony case: Kerala ex-DGP given interim relief
Justice B Sudheendra Kumar granted Senkumar the interim relief on his plea for anticipatory bail in the case and slated the matter for detailed hearing next Monday.india Updated: Jul 17, 2017 22:06 IST
Press Trust of India, Kochi
The Kerala high court granted interim anticipatory bail to the state's former police chief TP Senkumar in a case lodged against him allegedly for trying to incite religious enmity among people.
Justice B Sudheendra Kumar granted Senkumar the interim relief on his plea for anticipatory bail in the case and slated the matter for detailed hearing next Monday.
The case against the former police chief was registered by Thiruvananthapuram Cyber Police on eight complaints from various organisations alleging that in an interview to a Kochi-based Malayalam publication, the former police chief had made statements aimed at causing communal disharmony.
The former DGP was booked under section153A(1)(a) of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly making those statements in his interviews.
In his plea seeking anticipatory bail, Senkumar said he had only a 'friendly talk' with the reporter, who was not permitted to record the conversation.
The former state police chief said he was only sharing his anxiety regarding terror activities of Islamic State and the Maoist groups.
He further contended that he was falsely implicated in the case.
Senkumar, who won a historic legal battle with the CPI(M)-led Kerala government over his removal as state DGP, had retired from service on June 30.
The LDF government headed by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan had removed Senkumar from the post of DGP soon after it came to power in May 2016.
Senkumar had moved the Supreme Court against the orders of the Kerala high court and the Central Administrative Tribunal, which had upheld the government's decision to transfer him.
The apex court, however, had directed the state government to reinstate Senkumar as DGP on April 29, stating that the officer was transferred by the government "unfairly" and "arbitrarily".

For close to 30 minutes on Monday morning, David Beaty talked about finding the "right guys" and the "right players."
Beaty, 44, was at the microphone inside the Anderson Family Football Complex, introducing himself as Kansas' new football coach. He spoke about his offensive philosophy ("Fast pace, up tempo," he said).
He spoke about his first meeting with his players, held in the weight room to send an important message.
And he spoke about his desire to build recruiting relationships and develop the right players for Kansas football.

"Hardwork and humility," Beaty said, "is a minimum expectation."
After six seasons of losing, Kansas is hoping it has finally found the right coach.
Beaty was introduced as the 38th head coach in Kansas football history, taking the reins of a program that has finished just 12-48 during the last five years. Beaty, a former Kansas assistant who returns to Lawrence after a stint as an assistant at Texas A&M, was introduced by KU chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and athletic director Sheahon Zenger during a morning news conference.
Zenger praised Beaty's vision and interview, saying the Kansas search committee believed they had found a coach with the "It" factor. Zenger also believed Beaty was the "right fit" for Kansas, a coach who could "undersell and over-deliver."
Beaty, who will spend the next week recruiting in an attempt to cull together a full recruiting class for a program in need of reinforcements, will be paid a base salary of $800,000 annually, with incentives that could push his annually salary to more than $1.5 million.
Beaty spent a portion of his opening news conference discussing his plans for recruiting. A former Texas high school football coach in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Beaty said he will put a priority on in-state recruiting, while also tapping into his deep connections in Texas high school football.
"Make no mistake," Beaty said, "this will be a Kansas identity football team."

For the first time in 36 years, a President of the United States will be skipping the White House Correspondents' dinner. For the first time since Nixon, a president will being doing so in order to find a safe space.
"I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!" Trump tweeted this Saturday.
I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2017
The last president not to attend the dinner was Ronald Reagan in 1981 — for good reason, considering that he'd just been shot in the chest by a would-be assassin's bullet. But even then, The Gipper managed to call in to the event and crack a few jokes. Before Reagan, Richard Nixon skipped the event in 1972 whilst mired in the Watergate scandal. Some would argue that Trump's absence is most reminiscent of Nixon's, since both characterized the press as "the enemy."
From NPR:
Trump's announcement comes at a moment of high tension between the White House and many news organizations. Trump has made attacking mainstream news organizations a staple of his public remarks. Trump and his White House have accused the New York Times, CNN and others of being an "opposition party" with which he is at war.
Throughout history, many presidents still attended the event even when they were on the losing side of the public relations war. Bill Clinton attended all eight years, even after his impeachment over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Upon hearing Trump's announcement, White House Correspondents' Association President Jeff Mason issued a statement reiterating that the dinner "has been and will continue to be a celebration of the First Amendment and the important role played by an independent news media in a healthy republic."
"We look forward to shining a spotlight at the dinner on some of the best political journalism of the past year and recognizing the promising students who represent the next generation of our profession."
Twitter had a slightly more straightforward reaction to Trump's announcement:
.@realDonaldTrump Thank God. Last time you attended, it led to the worst mistake of this generation – you running for office.

Ainge's Off-Season Plans For Cs [VIDEO]
Danny Ainge, the general manager and President of Basketball Operations with the Boston Celtics, met with the media on Wednesday and answered some questions about possible plans for the franchise this summer.
Optimism about this off-season is at record levels with multiple first round picks (including the Brooklyn Nets' early selection), a lot of cap room available, and the possibility of big names joining the core of a squad that has made the playoffs in back to back seasons.
Some pundits think that Ainge could pull the trigger this off-season to acquire star players like he did in 2007. That year he was able to lure both Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to Beantown to join with Paul Pierce. "I'm not sure we have a Paul Pierce on our roster, but I do think we have a lot more things to trade, a lot more things to move," said Ainge when asked if there was a possibility of a '07 repeat. Kevin Durant is one of the marque free agents that Boston may target in the summer months, but a lot of fans are even more excited about the possibility getting a top pick in June's draft. Isaiah Thomas will be the Celtics' representative during the May 17th draft lottery.
We'll see what Boston and Danny Ainge can pull off this off-season as fans patiently wait with anticipation on things to come.
The Celtics also worked out Sheldon McClellan (Miami), Dorian Finney (Florida), Marcus Georges Hunt (Georgia Tech), Mike Tobey (Virginia), Quincy Ford (Northeastern), and America East's own Jameel Warney (Stony Brook) on Wednesday in advance of the draft.


text: Business Growth Strategy: An Ongoing Process Business Growth Strategy: An Ongoing Process Charlie Marshall B2B Market Research Aug 22 2017 For many companies, business growth is often driven by unforeseen or unique market events that drive demand. In any given year, the "stars may align" for a business and result in unforeseen growth. An example of this is the topic of a recent article published in Plastics News, "A solar (eclipse) powered boom for specialty film business." For some specialty film producers, the stars may not have aligned, but the alignment of the moon and sun created a once in a lifetime growth opportunity. As a growth strategy consultant, I immediately had two thoughts as I read through the article: I hope the film producers geared up production for the onslaught of orders, and I hope they are not waiting for the next US total eclipse as a strategic growth strategy, as it will not occur again until April 8, 2024. All companies should have a growth strategy, and most do. However, based on my experience, most strategic growth plans are treated like an annual event. Usually, near the end of the third quarter, functional group leaders come together and develop a comprehensive short and long-term strategic growth plan. The plan is then presented to the executive group, put into a binder, and filed away until it is needed as reference for next year's strategic planning process. Successful companies do not treat their strategic plans as trophies from a one-time event; they become working documents that drive the management of business on a daily basis. The aspirational goals of the strategic plan should be translated into an actionable management plan that is aligned to deliver the results outlined in the plan and includes: KPM's (to be measured and improved on a regular basis) business and process alignment throughout the organization departmental goals and objectives individual goals and objectives incentives improvement priorities training needs Don't be eclipsed by the competition. Develop a well thought out strategic plan and make it a "living document." Use it as the foundation for developing an ongoing management process designed to deliver results. Strategic Planning is not an annual event. Priority Metrics Group has been delivering game changing B2B market research needed to facilitate actionable strategic growth plans for our clients for 25 years. PMG's research is designed to be a robust, action oriented management tool which incorporates both quantitative data and relevant qualitative data to support growth strategies.

Just made these cookies for my 10 year old daughter, she asked me to add chocolate chips to them (I use dark chocolate chips). She's a big fan of sugar so it was going to be fun to see what she thought of them. I used agave instead of honey and for the coating mixed coconut sugar and maple sugar with the cinnamon (not sure why).
I cooked them for 9 minutes because I like my cookies a little more cooked. It was hard to wait the 15 minutes while they cooled but finally were able to bite into one.
My daughter enjoyed them, especially the sugar coating and the chocolate chips. She gave it a 4 1/2 rating because she said it wasn't as sweet as she's used to but I really enjoyed that they were just sweet enough. Thank you!

Magnificent Capturing of the Piano Sound - Thirty Years Ago...
When I take note of how so many of us listen to music through loudspeakers that are millimeters in size, wrapped around our ears; I ask how many of us DO get back, at least occasionally, to loudspeakers that are some three or four feet in height?
This question encountered me yesterday, when I came across a cassette, recorded in the mid-eighties, and in Dolby "C" sound, of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Concerto in "F."
The gifted pianist Andre Previn was soloist in both compositions, and both the sound and the performance were absolutely riveting. What I had forgotten about was the quality of the piano sound by way of the old Dolby technology - actually, it is as thrilling an aural print of any piano recording that I possess; beautifully well-rounded and highly etched at the same time.
For some reason, I had, as well, on the same cassette, two compositions by Liszt, magnificently performed by the great Cuban Jorge Bolet.
I immediately transferred this cassette to CD format, for the sake of convenience. I would imagine that all of these performances are on CD; if not, they should be, and MUST be listened to at room-sound level to receive the impact of both the scintillating separation of the instruments in the Gershwin performances, let alone the superb realism and presence of the piano.
And now, we are witness to a renaissance in the sales of the LP, primarily due to the reviving of interest in hearing music as we once did, before we donned our earphones upon the appearance of the Walkman - remember?
And so, the pendulum DOES inevitably move the other way...

A lighthouse keeper in Iceland who records atmospheric measurements, a cartoonist who educates millions of readers and an amateur radio operator who organized a weather warning system are among the 10 recipients of the 2007 NOAA Environmental Heroes award. The annual awards commemorate Earth Day by recognizing individuals and organizations that volunteer their time to help NOAA carry out its mission. A new category was introduced this year, the Long-Time Achievement Award, to periodically honor long-time NOAA-related achievement. NOAA established the Environmental Hero awards in 1995, and nominations are submitted by agency employees.There are thousands of volunteers who give their time to help NOAA do its work, and the NOAA Environmental Hero award is our way of saying "thank you` to some individuals and organizations each year, " said retired Navy Vice Admiral Conrad Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. Each year, I am impressed by the efforts of the Environmental Heroes, who serve as inspirations to us all. On behalf of the 12,500 men and woman working for NOAA, I congratulate the 2007 winners. "Long-Time Achievement AwardJack H. Elrod, Jr., Atlanta, Ga. " For more than a decade, Elrod has entertained and educated millions of readers through his Mark Trail cartoon strip. In more than 60 Sunday feature strips, Elrod has shown his readers the dangers of tsunamis, the treasures of the ocean and mysteries still to be solved about our planet.
NOAA Environmental Heroes 2007Charlie Campbell, San Angelo, Texas: Campbell organized a network of repeaters, " electronic devices that receive a weak or low-level amateur radio signal and retransmit it at a higher level or higher power. This allows the signal transmitting timely severe weather reports from the NOAA National Weather Service SKYWARN-trained storm spotters to cover longer distances without degradation. Nolan Doesken, Fort Collins, Colo.: Doesken organized a network of citizen volunteers to measure and report precipitation from their homes following a flash flood that killed five people in Fort Collins, Colo., in 1997. Starting with a few volunteers in 1998, the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow (CoCoRaHS) network involves thousands of volunteers in 17 states, and enhances the forecasting and warning capabilities of the NOAA National Weather Service.
Stephen Doty, Arden, N.C.: Doty created the Centers for Environmental and Climatic Interaction (CECI) in Asheville, N.C. His devotion to weather led him to document the history of weather observing in the community and to spearhead the celebration in his community this summer of the 150th anniversary of weather observing.
David Gould, Plymouth, Mass.: Gould`s efforts have resulted in many protection, restoration and stewardship projects, including the removal of dams to benefit upstream-swimming fish. He incorporates the full watershed restoration into his planning process, rather than focus on a single aspect or project.
Daryl Herzmann, Ames, Iowa: Herzmann combined a love of science with a dedication to helping others when he created the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, a one-stop-shopping " Web site for current atmospheric and hydrological observations, weather, roadway pavement data, agricultural soil information and climatology.
Bruce Popham, Marathon, Fla.: A champion of the Key West marine environment, Popham leads volunteer efforts to protect the waters around the Keys, such as Florida`s Clean Marina Program.
Josephine Kozic, Tuckerton, N.J.: Kozic led a fledgling volunteer effort into a robust program at the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve in New Jersey. Her efforts ensure that the reserve`s long-term ecosystem observatory is operational with 24-hour volunteer staffing during critical research periods.
Charles M. Quinn, New Bedford, Mass.: Quinn, his crew and his vessel, the F/V Celtic, has assisted in several key biological surveys and marine conservation projects.
Oskar J. Sigurdsson, Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland " A third-generation lighthouse keeper in Iceland, Sigurdsoon has enabled the NOAA`s Global Monitoring Division in Boulder, Colo., to produce a 15-year time series of carbon dioxide and other trace-gas measurements at the Storhofdi Lighthouse.
Jill Wright, Charlottesville, Va. " Combining educational opportunities with scientific research, Wright has channeled her dedication, enthusiasm and collaboration to support the NOAA Ocean Observing System for climate and weather forecasts.
NOAA, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Commission of Fish and Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America`s scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA. NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of the nation`s coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.
