And now for something fun…
The signs you may be part fairy:
- You have to have windows in your rooms. An office with no windows is like the kiss of death for you.
- If you aren't around some form of Nature, you get out-of-sorts, cranky, and shut down.
- You love the colors of flowers and when you see them something inside of you wakes up.
- You are attracted to animals and understand them.
- You get pissed at people who throw garbage out car windows. Your anger seems larger than the situation.
- You may have flying dreams.
- You like things that are sparkly or silly.
- There's something about a box of crayons that is very inviting and makes you smile. You appreciate the child-like in others.
- You may be attracted to natural healing.
Answered YES to most of these, You may be part fairy. You found the right place to hang out.

The collapse of Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme's five-month-old government coalition on Thursday meant that a ban on full Muslim facial veils expected to be passed in the afternoon has been put off for some time. Just how long is unknown right now — it could come back up for consideration again as early as next week if parliament is not dissolved and new elections called.
The bill due for a vote today received unanimous backing in parliament's home affairs committee on March 31. The draft law proposed to criminalize wearing clothing that covers all or part of the face, including the facial veil known as the niqab and the full outer garment, or burqa, widely worn in Afghanistan.
It looked like that bill would make Belgium the the first country in Europe to enforce such a ban. If the Belgian parliament doesn't take it up soon and the country's political crisis drags on (as can happen there), that distinction could go to France. President Nicolas Sarkozy has spoken out in favour of a complete ban, rather than just one in public service buildings, despite warnings from constitutional experts that it could be illegal. The relevant bill will be presented to the cabinet in May, government spokesman Luc Chatel said on Wednesday.
It emerged on Thursday that the French ban would apply to visiting tourists as well as residents. Junior family minister Nadine Morano said visitors would have to "respect the law" and uncover their faces, prompting critics to speculate whether Saudi luxury shoppers would be forced to unveil themselves on the glitzy Champs-Elysees.

Photos: The players of the 1994 Dolphins
A look at the players that made the 1994 team coached by Don Shula. The Dolphins celebrated Christmas by clinching the AFC East title. Bernie Parmalee ran wild as he scored three touchdowns and the Dolphins led 27-10 at the half. Two second-half Lions scores could not stop a 27-20 Dolphins win, finishing a 10-6 Dolphins record.

Monumental Secrets:
Part One – Peace Arch Personalities
By Richard Clark
Occasionally, I think I should have left her alone. For nearly 70 years the Peace Arch had kept her secrets. Curiosity prompted me to uncover them, first as an essay that I wrote for university credit in 1989. And then, nearly 15 years later, I completed a 358-page manuscript that unlocked far more secrets than I could have imagined.
On the one hand, I violated a daughter's privacy. And more so, because she – proud Child of a Common Mother – stood tall. On the other hand, I discovered more than mere secrets. Like fortune cookies, they held surprises. My decision to demythologize the portal's past only sharpened those surprises. I now wish to share them with my Peace Arch city, initially by introducing prominent Peace Arch personalities to readers of The Northern Light. To wit:
Samuel Hill, born in 1857 in North Carolina, was the Harvard-educated Quaker who conceived, constructed and conveyed the Peace Arch to us – we Children of a Common Mother – some 83 years ago. Being an egotistical playboy as much as an eccentric philanthropist, Hill was also a wealthy road builder. He it was who created Pacific Highway that became U.S. 99 that became I-5. He was an indefatigable traveler who loved to hobnob with "important" people like Albert of Belgium, Joffre of France and Marie of Romania.
Still, I would gladly see Samuel's bronze statue standing tall in the Peace Arch city, his right arm outstretched and reaching for world peace.
R. Rowe Holland, a prominent Vancouver lawyer, became the founding president of the International Peace Memorial Association of British Columbia in 1921. He devised a scheme for funding the portal's provincial park. Upon introducing Samuel to Vancouver Sun editor Cromie, Holland said it would cost $25,000 to produce the park. He proposed the novel idea of soliciting money from provincial schoolchildren. The editor fell for it and spread the word. To a minor extent, it worked. Some $2,250 was raised by 1930.
Washington state superintendent of instruction N.D. Showalter thought that was a great idea, so he appealed to the state's schoolchildren, telling them $15,000 would be needed to produce the state park. Again, to a minor extent, it worked. Some $1,500 was raised by 1931.
Washington state representative Andrew Danielson, a Blaine real estate agent similarly interested in the park, used a subtle and most successful approach. One month after Samuel had become frightfully paranoid, dying in 1931 in a Seattle home that looked like a fortress, Danielson asked Olympia's assembly to dedicate $35,000 toward development of what was then called Samuel Hill Memorial Park. They ponied up $15,000 – about 10 times as much as the children had donated.
It wasn't the first time Danielson succeeded. At his behest a bill had passed in 1929, drawing $16,000 from state road funds to pay for Peace Portal Drive right-of-way costs. Travelers were thereby assisted to drive from Samuel's Pacific Highway to the Peace Arch.
Rogan Jones, an energetic 29-year-old altruist, bought Bellingham radio station KOMO in 1929. By April of that year, Blaine musician Paul Lustermann was heard conducting the 40-member Peace Arch Chorus of Blaine in an hour-long program that featured choral works by Schubert, Dvorak and others. Had the broadcast been delivered by television, viewers would have seen the male songsters wearing black suits and bowties, the women wearing white dresses, and all covering their hearts with Peace Arch patches.
Jones became founding president of the International Peace Arch Program Association in 1937. He initiated yearly broadcasts at the Peace Arch, highlighting annual celebrations and relaying them to 90 radio stations strung across the country and Canada. On one occasion, a program was sent overseas via military radio. Served by the Mutual and Don Lee broadcasting systems, it was an amazing accomplishment. Nobody did more to spread the Peace Arch message from 1937 through 1941.
Now that I've introduced you to Samuel Hill, R. Rowe Holland, N.D. Showalter, Andrew Danielson and Rogan Jones, did you encounter any surprises? If you can't wait for part two, you may find my manuscript, Sam Hill's Peace Arch: Remembrance of Dreams Past, in our local library, or you may access the first draft at www.thecshop.com. I wish to express my thanks to The Northern Light for running this series.

Mixing and equalizing can seem like an intimidating task, however you don't need to be a professional sound engineer to make a very listenable track as a producer. In the real world, many songwriters send their music on to get mixed by "fresh ears" all the time. Part of the reason is to simply have the track mixed from the audience's point of view, the other reason is that you just spent twenty-four to forty-eight straight hours of recording it and your ears are about to throw up. Therefore, if you're merely a composer, then you probably don't need to be 100% up to date on mixing and equalizing. You are meant to drain your creative energy on the best part of music—making and performing it. However, it's good to know some basics or maybe even establish a process for "rough mixes". Doing so will allow you to go ahead and perform/publicize a new song your excited to share. Let's get started!
Overall, this is a very basic and proven process for mixing and equalizing a rough mix. Now before we begin, take into consideration that this mixing process is solely meant for mixing digital electronic music. However, whether you love or hate Propellerhead, their Web site offers free mixing and EQ techniques for recording audio vocals, guitar, bass and drums. Although these tutorials are meant to help Record users, 90% of the information is generic enough to apply to most mixing and EQ setups. Since it's a popular DAW, we'll be using Reason 6 to reference its mixing board for visual stimulation.
What will you need?
- A fully recorded song
- A pair of good monitors and headphones
- A digital audio workstation (DAW) with a generic mixing board as seen within Reason.

SUWANEE — The Suwanee Police Department is asking for volunteers to help make the city's parks safer and more inviting.Under the park ambassador program, slated to begin in June, volunteers will patrol Suwanee's park areas, reporting any damage or "suspicious individuals" they see, as well as offering basic information to visitors, Suwanee Police Chief Mike Jones said. "These ambassadors will be our eyes and ears in the parks," Jones said. "We envision that these volunteers, in cooperation with the police department, will ultimately enhance the safety and friendliness of Suwanee's greenway and parks." Identified by their bright yellow T-shirts, park ambassadors will not have any law enforcement powers. They will simply be trained to "be sentinels who can assist residents and alert the police department or public works department" to matters that may require their attention, city spokeswoman Lynne DeWilde said. All potential volunteers must undergo a criminal background check, and have their own transportation and access to a cell phone and computer. Volunteers must be at least 19 years old. Those interested must sign up by Monday by contacting Officer Elias Casanas at email@example.com or 770-904-7612. A training program for volunteers will take place at 6:30 p.m. on May 31.

Jim Rogers, founder of the Quantum Fund with George Soros and creator of the Rogers International Commodity Index (RICI), gave a speech at Hult's Grand Opening in Shanghai. He shared his perspectives on life, business school, running a hedge fund, and his time as the first hedge fund manager to drive around the world through 116 countries.
"There are spectacular opportunities in Asia today," Rogers told the crowd excitedly, citing the investment potential in Myanmar and North Korea. Rogers believes that change is coming in these new frontiers, and urged business school students to seize opportunities as they arise. Rogers, an outspoken proponent of the free market, believes that change is imminent developments in the world economy will cause China to dip alongside the West. But although China will have its share of problems, he is very optimistic about its long-term ability to be a global and far-sighted power.

It's been a confusing couple of weeks in vaccine-related news. First came the results of a recent study which found "no link" between the current vaccination recommendations and autism, then the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (also known as "vaccine court") awarded millions of dollars to two children with autism for "pain and suffering" and lifelong injury-related medical expenses.
Huh? But I thought they just said there was no link between ... wait, I'm confused. If vaccines don't cause autism, why did the government pay millions of dollars to autistic kids as compensation for vaccine injury? I'm no expert, and there's not a ton of information out there on these particular cases (because access to medical records has been blocked from public view), but I'm wondering if this doesn't all boil down to a system of semantics designed to protect the medical powers-that-be.
Because while the government has yet to admit that vaccines caused autism in these (or any) children, they did "concede" to the fact that vaccine-induced encephalopathy (brain disease) produced "permanent injury, including symptoms of autism and ultimately an ASD diagnosis."
Remove a few words from that sentence and you get "vaccine-induced autism." It seems fairly obvious, doesn't it? Whatever you choose to call it, the reality of what these families have been through is heartbreaking:
Parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors of both children testified they were developmentally normal, if not advanced for their age when they developed seizures, spiking fevers and other adverse reactions to their vaccines. According to these eyewitnesses, the children never fully recovered, and instead began losing vocabulary, eye contact and interest in others around them, all classic symptoms of regressive autism.
So how are we supposed to reconcile stories like these with study results claiming "no connection" between vaccines and autism? My kids luckily both made it through the toddler phase -- and their pediatrician-recommended schedule of vaccinations -- unscathed. But if I had to do it over again, with all of this information at hand, would I choose to vaccinate? I honestly don't know.
Are you having trouble deciding whether or not to vaccinate your child?
Image via helpingting/Flickr
no, i would not and do not have a problem with vaccines for my kids. even if there was some *slight* chance that it did actually cause Autism, look at the millions of children who have been given all their vaccines and never developed it. And look at folks like @Rylehn who has children on the spectrum anyway.
vaccination is a personal decision that you should make as a parent. but fear mongering does nothing to help people make decisions or give them valuable information. and as was already said - you don't know these kids' medical histories, so who are you to know/say that it wasn't an allergic reaction vs just the vaccine? parents need to educate themselves and then make the decision that is best for them and their family.
I think vaccines can and do induce autism in more children than anyone or any entity (including the government) would ever care to admit. I also believe that vaccines could have a role in brain damage leading to things besides autism, such as mood disorders, seizure disorders, and possibly autoimmune issues. I'm rather certain that most of these things are listed on the package inserts of the vaccines, minus the "autism" I believe. Most doctors offices won't give you the package inserts unless you specifically request them -- even then, it may be a fight. On the flip side, I think that even with all these side effects, vaccines do work -- it's just at this high price. So, we stop vaccinating, and ll these horrible disease will come back. We continue vaccinating, and all these side effects continue to get worse. It's a no win situation.
This article is misleading and the writer lacks either basic reading comprehension or ethics. The proffers were made because the children experienced immediate, severe encephalopathic reactions to the vacinne(s) - not because the children were later diagnosed as autistic. Unless the writer would care to point to peer-reviewed studies that equate or link by causation encephalopathy with autism, she should report the actual facts instead of her hysteria-tainted opinion.
My kids will continue to be vaccinated on schedule and as recommended by the CDC.
Health officials continue to tell us that their vaccines are safe but anyone looking into the controversy will discover that every study used to show vaccine are safe and not connected to disorders like autism have all been shown to be tied to the vaccine industry. There is a revolving door between our health care agencies and drug companies. The last head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Julie Gerberding, a long time denier of any link between vaccines and autism, is now head of the vaccine division at Merck.
Hundreds of people at the CDC have conflict of interest waivers because they're also financially tied to the drug industry. One has to wonder whose interests are foremost in the minds of these individuals.

Our challenge is to shift our sense of solidarity from "me" to "We," to "All of Us," to "ALL." As twenty-first century Christians we are invited to see Paul's call for us to put on the "mind of Christ" as about learning to view life from a cosmo-centric perspective. "New Creation" is about that transformed way of being human that comes from experiencing the world from the perspective of Original Blessing, Creation Spirituality, and social justice. God is for the 100%, for everyone, for ALL, for a revitalized sense of the commonweal, and for a recommitment to the common good.

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WHAS11) -- A 21 year old man gunned down Monday night in Pleasure Ridge Park was the victim of a "home invasion murder" Metro Police said on Tuesday.
Police said at least three unidentified suspects were involved in the shooting of Paul "PJ" Barber in the 6800 block of the Crawford Crossing Place apartments.
"We believe that this was not a random act," said Lt. Todd Kessinger of the LMPD Homicide unit. "We believe that the victim was targeted specifically."
"I cant imagine who would want to do this to PJ," said Elizabeth Barber, the victim's mother. "He got along with everybody."
"He was a good child. He called me his number one, his 'ride or die.'"
PJ Barber was unarmed inside the apartment with his one week old son, fiancee and two other adults when the suspects busted open his front door, Kessinger said, adding the witnesses could not identify the suspects, who fled on foot.
Though Barber had faced several drug-related charges within the last two years, neither his friends or police believe his past could have predicted last night's violence.
"Not at all," said Angela Hawkins, who explained she has known Barber for six years. "Never expected anything like this would happen at all."
"I say that he was targeted because we don't think that it was a random act," Kessinger explained. "We think that they intentionally went to that location."
Kessinger said he is not aware of anything stolen from the apartment and it was unclear whether Barber had been shot inside or outside the apartment.
As Barber's family met with reporters below his second floor apartment late Tuesday morning, an apartment worker replaced the wooden steps where Barber lay bleeding the night before.
"If anybody knows, I hope they say something," said Elizabeth Barber. "Speak up. Let somebody know who took my baby."
And Barber had a message for whoever is responsible for her son's death.
"May God be with you," Barber said, struggling between sobs. "You took my son. "There was no need in that."

Something I need to work on…
It is okay not to be perfect. Mistakes are totally normal…you need them to learn more about yourself and what you can do in life or in the classroom. I find myself trying so hard to be a certain way that I forget to just be who I am. I find myself controlling and straining myself in order to not make a mistake and that just leaves me tense in the end.
I need to remind myself, it is okay.
I do think, though, having high expectations for yourself is great but don't get so down on yourself if you stumble on the way to them. You WILL reach them in the end.
This post is mostly a reminder for myself.
It is okay not to be perfect.

The curse of the first-in-first-out queue discipline
AbstractWe consider a congested facility where agents can line up at any time they wish after the facility opens (like airplane boarding, or drivers leaving stadium parking lots after a sports event). We show that in Nash equilibrium, within the general family of stochastic queue disciplines with no capacity waste, the focal first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue discipline is the worst while the last-in-first-out (LIFO) discipline is best.

Carlisle Borough Council will likely vote on an ordinance to prohibit truck drivers from using their "jake brakes" in certain locations within the borough. Residents have complained about the loud noise being heard at all hours of the day.
The "jake brake" was designed to help slow down a truck that was coming down a steep mountain.
Shawn Brown is an account manager with Freightliner of Harrisburg. He says truck breaks don't perform will when they get hot, and the "jake brake" retards the engine to help slow the truck down.
Brown does not think it's necessary for drivers to use the "Jake brake"in Carlisle Borough because there are no hills and the speed limit does not exceed 35 miles per hour in residential neighborhoods.
Borough officials say they have received strong support from the community and it's likely the ordinance will pass at Thursday's meeting.

The Official Website of the Louisiana Department of Revenue
BATON ROUGE - The second phase of the sales and use tax exclusion for custom computer software as provided for by Act 7 of the 2002 First Extraordinary Session of the Louisiana Legislature goes into effect on July 1, 2003. On that date, 50% of the sale price of custom computer software will be excluded from the definition of tangible personal property and not be subject to sales or use tax.
Act 7 defined custom computer software as " . . . software prepared, created, adapted, or modified to the special order of a particular purchaser, licensee, or user; or to meet the specific needs or requirements of a particular purchaser, licensee, or user, regardless of the means by or through which such computer software is furnished, delivered, or transmitted, and regardless of whether such software incorporates or consists of preexisting routines, utilities, or other computer software components." All computer software not included as part of a custom program is subject to state and local sales and use taxes.
Phase one of Act 7, which went into effect on July 1, 2002, excluded 25% of the sales price of custom computer software from the definition of tangible personal property. The exclusion is 50% this year and will rise to 75% on July 1, 2004. Effective July 1, 2005, all custom computer software becomes non-taxable.
Prior to Act 7, the sale of canned software incorporated into custom programs was treated as a sale for resale because the tax was collected on the sale of the custom program. Any sales tax paid on those purchases by custom software vendors qualified for an advance tax credit (ATC). Under Act 7, purchases of canned software for use in custom programs will not qualify as sales for resale after June 30, 2005, because once custom programs are excluded from sales tax, the purchase of canned software for use in common custom programs will be subject to use tax to be paid by the custom programmer.
Further information and examples about the exclusion from sales tax of custom computer software can be found in Revenue Ruling 02-008 dated August 28, 2002. The ruling is available on the Department of Revenue's website at www.rev.state.la.us. Under the heading "Laws and Policies," click on "Policy Documents," then "Other," and then "Revenue Rulings."

40GB PlayStation 3 Model Materializes in Europe, Lacks Backward CompatibilityConfirming the torrent of rumors surrounding a cheaper baseline PlayStation 3 SKU, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe unveiled a 40GB stripped down console for European territories today. Retailing for 399 Euros (299 Pounds in the U.K.) beginning October 10, the new model will be the cheapest PS3 SKU available in the region.
As predicted, the 40GB model will feature two USB ports rather than four, have no flash card memory slots, and lack any kind of backward compatibility with PlayStation 2 titles. Regarding this last point, the announcement reads: "The new model is no longer backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 titles, reflecting both the reduced emphasis placed on this feature amongst later purchasers of PS3, as well as the availability of a more extensive line-up of PS3 specific titles (a total of 65 titles across all genres by Christmas)."
Since later PS3 models used software rather than hardware emulation to support the PS2's game library, it's unusual that this new model would exclude that capability entirely.
Sony coupled the announcement with a 100 Euro price drop for the formerly 599 Euro 60GB Starter Pack bundle in European territories, except for the U.K. and Ireland, where the Starter Pack will be replaced by a 349 Pound Value Pack. The now 499 Euro Starter Pack bundle will still contain an extra Sixaxis and two first-party titles and be sold until stocks run out, while the newly introduced Value Pack model for the U.K. and Ireland will only include one Sixaxis in addition to two first-party titles.
Though the different global branches of Sony make their own decisions regarding introductions of new SKUs, it's highly unlikely an entirely new model like the 40GB PS3 would remain exclusive to the region. The 80GB SKU debuted earlier this year in Korea, but made its way to North America and other territories shortly thereafter.

"Nanny State" has been used to describe some of Mayor Bloomberg's health-conscious policies. Everything from bike lanes and Citi Bike to the transfat ban and his fight against 32-ounce soda sales.
In the race to be the next mayor, you might expect opposition from the anti-Bloomberg candidate, Democrat Bill de Blasio. He of anti-stop and frisk, tale of two cities. While you might expect support from the pro-Bloomberg candidate Republican Joe Lhota. Not necessarily, say political analysts, at least at first.
Certainly drivers want more input on traffic issues like no turns in midtown, pedestrian malls in places like Broadway and the loss of a traffic lane for those bike lanes. They seem to have made driving in Manhattan more of a chore than usual.
De Blasio will delay additional changes until there is input while Lhota will keep the policies which he says he favors.
One Bloomberg ban no one questions and no one believes will go away is the smoking ban for indoors and some parks. It has become an established, accepted way of life and copied through the world.

WASHINGTON (WKZO) -- Legislation to roll back an increase in interest rates for certain government-backed student loans is headed to President Obama's desk.
Michigan's House delegation voted overwhelmingly in favor of the bill. Only Democrat John Conyers of Detroit voted no, as the bill sailed through the House by a vote of 392-31.
The legislation rolls interest rates for undergraduates this fall to 3.9-percent, 5.4-percent for graduate students, and 6.4-percent for parents.

How do we save African elephants from extinction?
African elephants are being slaughtered for their ivory as a surprising consequences of the rise of Asian economies. Symbolic of wealth and prestige, ivory was once only affordable for a few. Now with hundreds of millions of newly rich people in Asia, demand has outstripped supply and elephants are being killed at a rate that will drive them to extinction in less than 15 years.
African governments are unable to stop the poaching - the price of ivory is driving impunity, corruption and is now under control of criminal cartels.
How do we stop this? What will it take to reverse this trend? Do we need to change cultures? Appealing for compassion in China, Thailand, Philippines? Is it about law enforcement?
We need some bright ideas from TEDsters who love African animals and who know how to cause change in Asia

Mar 3 2013: Hi Paula:
I have spent some time is both South Africa and Kenya (good luck in the elections) travelling and volunteering in wildlife preserves and schools and have made many friends who work with wildlife.
One thing I see from this distance is the large spike in the amount of poaching and consequent animal deaths that showed up shortly after China began getting so many construction and road contracts in Africa and bringing in their people to do the work.
I don't think that correlation has been looked at. But if the stuff is being transported out of the country in diplomatic pouches as has been alleged, your government is going to have to be willing to break diplomatic ties with certain Asian counties and I don't think they will do that, not even if there was only one elephant left in the world!
I know many of the preserves with rhino are clipping their horns, but with elephants in the wild (or rhino in the wild) I understand that this is not feasible.
However, the proposal to auction off the seized tusk and horn MIGHT put a dent in the illegal trade, as well as raising money for more enforcement, better pay, weapons and training for the rangers.
I'd love to hear more about what your organisation thinks and what it proposes to try . . .

On December 22, several needy families came to Post 12 in Frankfort and chose toys for their kids. Post 12 also received checks from the Frankfort Wal-Mart, Jeff Wyler Honda in Frankfort, Kentucky State Police Professional Association District 12, local businesses and individuals. At 2:30 PM those needy family and kids met Troopers from the Frankfort Post and Santa at the Frankfort Wal-Mart where they shopped with a Trooper to complete their Christmas.
Captain Mike Crawford, Commander of Post 12, stated "At this time of the year we are blessed to have the opportunity to provide toys and clothing to needy families in our area. With the current financial crisis affecting everyone, I am especially pleased our local businesses have remained committed to our cause of providing to those less fortunate. This is just another way the Kentucky State Police show our commitment to the citizens we proudly serve".

Opa-locka City Attorney Joseph Geller's job is safe—at least for now.
Commissioner Timothy Holmes agreed to withdraw a resolution he presented at the Dec. 11 City Commission meeting calling for Geller to be removed from his position.
Geller said he would propose a plan to help mitigate some of the complaints about the timeliness of his service to the city. He plans to bring in someone to have daily office hours in city hall in addition to his hours working with the city.
"We can try it going forward, try it for a period of time, and see if it results in something that will satisfy the concerns that have been raised," said Geller.
Holmes said that he will give Geller's plan a chance, but will only change his stance if the service changes soon.
"I'm not basing this on how I feel. This is not personal, this is city business," Holmes said. "If I don't see any changes before the first meeting in January, I'm bringing this resolution back."
Commissioner Dorothy Johnson said she will not co-sponsor the resolution if it is brought back, saying she felt disrespected by Holmes withdrawing the item.
"I don't care about no co-sponsor, I brought the resolution," said Holmes.
Commissioner Luis Santiago was supportive of Geller and his law firm, noting that the city avoided an injunction in a recent lawsuit against the city. He also felt like the timing was wrong for the potential removal.
"Let's have some mercy in this time of the year. Let's have some peace in the city of Opa-locka," said Santiago.
Holmes originally called for Geller's removal at a commission meeting in November and claimed that employees in the city clerk and city manager's offices had to work overtime in order to prepare the agenda packets for commission meetings because Geller wasn't providing documents soon enough.
The city's charter states that the attorney reports to the commission and can be removed by a majority vote. Geller and his firm are paid about $16,700 monthly.
He was removed as Miami Lakes' town attorney at a special meeting Oct. 30, with council members citing concerns about promptness and cost.
Geller has served as Opa-locka's city attorney since 2009 when he was first hired on an interim basis. He also serves as village attorney for El Portal. He's an attorney with the law firm Greenspoon Marder.

There was the story of the woman who stumbled and nearly blacked out, crashing her cart into shelves at a store a couple of hours after celebrating her birthday with family over a wonderful spread of food from a restaurant's supposedly gluten-free menu.
Then there was the young boy who was hospitalized after consuming a meatball that contained a little milk after being assured by his server that the spaghetti entrée was dairy-free.
And the mother who rarely chooses to take her son out to eat because of the eye-rolls, heavy sighs and frustration employees often show when she asks them to change gloves or to clean a surface to prevent cross-contamination when making the boy's sandwich.
For people with food allergies, dining out is no picnic.
I get emails, calls and letters almost weekly from people sharing their horror stories or promoting places that truly cater to their needs. I have done my best to provide whatever information I can when readers ask for places to go to meet their needs, most of them from folks who cannot consume gluten, which seems to be more common these days.
And although I have tried to help, until now, it was a subject I avoided, figuring it was the responsibility of the people with food restrictions to find places to eat and not expect restaurants to cater to them.
Growing issue
Dr. Jeffrey Gladd of GladdMD Integrative Medicine specializes in celiac disease – a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine and prevents it from absorbing parts of food that are important for staying healthy – and the inability to tolerate gluten.
Gladd, whose firm at 4930 Illinois Road sees about 1,200 patients, said one in 133 people have such issues and that it has increased sharply, noting that two generations ago, about one in 1,000 suffered from it.
Most practitioners in my field feel that as much as 30 percent of the population deals with some degree of gluten sensitivity, Gladd said.
The trend has not gone unnoticed by restaurants.
Thomas Parisi, director of operations for the Casa restaurant chain, said his company pretty much had to offer a gluten-free menu, which it added in 2007. The company has since added desserts and recently added gluten-free options on its children's menu. And, yes, the famous Casa salad is gluten-free if ordered without croutons.
We were getting a lot of requests for gluten-free and vegetarian options then, and now the gluten-free is really in high demand, Parisi said. And if we can meet your need, you are going to come back, so it is good business.
Angie Quinn and her husband, Steve Nagy, are somewhat banking on folks with gluten allergies. Their Pembroke Bakery, which opened last year in the Auer Center for Arts & Culture on Main Street, features homemade gluten-free breads, a large variety of cookies and other sweet baked goods. All of the restaurant's breads, most of its soup and all of the desserts are also vegan.
I became a vegan because I developed an intolerance to milk products in the first place, Quinn said, adding that neither her, nor Steve, who has some other food allergies, follow gluten-free diets. When we were selling breads at farmer's markets, we had a lot of people asking (for gluten-free items) and we still have them asking for more.
Quinn added that opening in a new space made it easy for them to design a kitchen with cross-contamination in mind, an issue that many existing places struggle with. She estimated that nearly half of the people coming in for just baked items are seeking the gluten-free options. But given how interesting her gluten-free treats are – I have accounted for more than my share of the Mexican chocolate snicker doodles – not all of those folks suffer from celiac disease.
Meeting the need
The place that most of the folks with food allergies I interviewed or who corresponded to queries via social media were quickest to name was Flat Top Grill in Jefferson Pointe. The do-it-yourself stir-fry place allows diners to mark their dishes with clear sticks signifying they have a food intolerance. Those dishes are then prepared in clean woks that haven't come in contact with any other food and only water is used during the cooking process.
According to Joe Spell, Flat Top Grill's general manager, the company has always tried to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to food allergies.
We get anywhere between 100 to 150 (special requests) per week at this location, Spell said. There has always seemed to have been a demand.
Flat Top's ingredient line is also set up so that high-risk allergy ingredients, such as peanut sauces, are located in a specific area of the food bar to prevent cross-contamination. The three sauces provided specifically for folks with allergy concerns – pineapple vinaigrette, pomegranate-acai and a non-fat spicy lime-basil – are also located together.
All Flat Top locations also have large binders customers can look at which has a comprehensive ingredient list and a list of about 15 dietary restrictions and advice on what customers with those restrictions should or shouldn't consider. These guidelines are also available on the company's website.
At Casa, the gluten-free menu is strictly adhered to and customers are not allowed to mix gluten-free pastas with regular menu items. According to Parisi, even if the customer thinks they will be OK by just changing the pasta, the restaurant is not willing to risk them being affected by cross-contamination. And cross-contamination is the biggest fear for his company.
When we first thought of offering gluten-free pizzas, you would not believe what we had to take into consideration, Parisi said. There was a domino effect. First, the product has to be gluten-free. Then, the utensil you cut with has to be safe, and what you cook it on has to be safe. We even had to put the sauce in individual servings because the ladles we use for regular pizzas might have come into contact with something.
It was quite an undertaking.
All Casa servers have to take a quiz on gluten-free and vegetarian offerings, and must follow a strict procedure that requires them to verbally communicate with the kitchen staff and receive verification from the staff that they are aware anytime a gluten-free order is made.
And that kind of attention to detail is the key for folks who have such issues.
Spreading the word
City resident Rachael Chapulis has been sharing her knowledge of gluten-free dining in Fort Wayne through her blog at glutenfreefortwayne.blogspot.com. She has been impressed with how far the Summit City has advanced in terms of helping people like her, especially in terms of service.
Quite a few local restaurants have gone out of their way in asking questions and working hard at getting things right on their gluten free menus, said Chapulis, who lists her favorite restaurants on her site. Generally places are very helpful. I don't like to get into the medical details of autoimmunity because that's tougher to understand on the fly, but if I say that I'm allergic to the buns, or the flour tortillas, or whatever the gluten risk at that restaurant is, many will quickly respond by offering to have one person follow my meal all the way through with a fresh pair of gloves even without me asking.
Those are the places that get a lot of business from me.
The Fort Wayne Celiac Support Group and its leader, Debby Minick, have a list of restaurants to share with members. The group meets on the second Saturday of each month from September to May at Mocha Lounge, 6312 Covington Road, which, yes, makes gluten-free smoothies and carries some gluten-free pastries. The group hosts speakers and tries to share knowledge about the disease. To find out more about the group, you can email Minick at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cant be too careful
Even though area restaurants seem to be doing well when it comes to meeting the needs of folks with food issues, going out to eat remains a challenge.
For Tara Walulik of Fort Wayne, trips out to eat are few and far between since her sons, Sean, 11, and Ryan, 13, and her husband, Steve, all have life-threatening food allergies: nuts (Sean), milk (Sean and Ryan), eggs (Sean and Ryan), beef (Ryan) and shellfish (Steve).
Many places in the area just say, no, we cannot accommodate you,' Tara said.
For her family and others, it just isn't worth the risk.
Even Gladd, an expert in the field, struggled to provide any help when I asked him what his patients should do when dining out.
Don't, he said. I am always hesitant (to suggest restaurants), and I have had many patients told their choice was gluten-free when in fact it was not.

7-year-old North Carolina boy killed in all-terrain vehicle crash
Salisbury, NC, United States (4E) – Authorities are investigating a fatal road accident in Salisbury, North California that killed a seven-year-old boy and severely wounded another on Thanksgiving Day.
Rowan County Sheriff's Office said two boys were riding in a blue Arctic Cat 550 all-terrain vehicle 'most of the day," and witnesses claimed that the 7-year-old was driving while and an 11-year-old boy was in the passenger seat.
Investigators, who responded to the call around 3 p.m., were told that the two boys were heading with tempo, around the left side of the house, when the 7-year-old tried to turn, causing the ATV to roll.
The younger boy died while the older boy was flown to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center with serious injuries.
Deputies are still investigating the accident.

The University of Nevada soccer team closed out its two-match road trip with a 1-0 win against Air Force Sunday afternoon at the Cadet Soccer Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colo. The consecutive shutout win is the fifth of the year for the team.
"Winning two on the road in conference play is fantastic," head coach Dr. Melissa Price said. "We are pleased with our performance, but more importantly our preparation leading up to the weekend. I'm proud of the way the team persevered to put two tough wins together."
With the win, Nevada improves to (6-8-1, 2-2 MW), while Air Force drops to (5-6-3, 0-4 MW).
The Falcons tested the Wolf Pack defense early on, recording10 shots in the opening period while Nevada had two. Wolf Pack goalkeeper Dana Moreno was solid in front of the net with five saves in the first half. The teams entered halftime tied 0-0.
Nevada claimed a 1-0 lead four minutes into the second half, as freshman Kelly Gould headed in her first career goal from an assist by Alyissa deRonde and Chrisalyn Fonte. Air Force had several shots on goal late, but Moreno and the Nevada defense came up with big plays to hold on to win the match 1-0.
"Air Force battled for 90 minutes and we had to work together to hold off their attack in the final minutes to protect our one goal lead," Dr. Price said.
The Wolf Pack will return home Friday night with a match against in state rival UNLV at 7 p.m., as part of the Governor's Series, presented by NV Energy.

Wow, very good advice. I'm not a parent but all of this makes sense (especially the details about the dress in the bottom of your closet and/or ruined by said newborn). The most beneficial it seems to me would definitely be the Target or Amazon cards- both staples to necessity items for cheap.
Best Credit Cards for (New) Parents
This post contains references to products from our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. Please visit our Advertiser Disclosure to view our partners, and for additional details.
Any parent will tell you that there's nothing that can prepare you for how much having a baby will change your life. And while there's little that can be done to prepare you for how much a baby will change you finances, as a new mom (my son is now nine months old), I have one unexpected tip — apply for a new credit card.
When you become a parent, where you spend your money changes drastically overnight. One night you're heading to happy hour after work, the next you're changing diapers and feeding a baby. You may have traveled every month pre-kid. Post-kid travel is far more difficult.
Kids are amazing, but they change your lifestyle and spending habits. So, your credit card rewards program should probably change too. The good news is that several credit cards offer great rewards and protection for new moms and dads.
Three Spending Changes, and the Cards to Fit
Here are three major ways your spending changes with kids, and which credit cards correlate to that new way of spending.
Pre-kids: You go out to movies, restaurants, and bars.
Post-kids: You buy more groceries and stay home.
Any credit cards you have that pay high rewards for entertainment or dining out should be stashed in your freezer post-kids. You'll be doing a lot less of this than you did before children. (But that's ok, because your child entertains you with his constant discoveries and endless antics.)
Instead of dining out or heading to the bar or movies, you'll be spending more time cooking at home. If you don't already have a rewards card that pays you top dollar for groceries, get one now. My picks for cash back on groceries?
1. The Amex EveryDaySM Credit Card from American Express
If you want a card that offers extra points at US supermarkets, without an annual fee, the Amex EveryDaySM Credit Card from American Express is a great choice. You get 2x points at US supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases (then 1x), plus 1 point for other purchases. And because you'll be making a lot of trips to the grocery store for items forgotten due to sleep deprivation, when you use your card 20 or more times per billing cycle, you get 20% more points on those purchases less returns and credits.
With the EveryDay card, you earn American Express membership points which can be used for rewards from over 500 leading brands in travel, gift cards, merchandise, or entertainment. My vote is to rack up the points and use them to plan a vacation when your little one is eighteen months or so old.
When it comes to warranties and making returns, the EveryDay card offers extended warranty protection on products you buy with your card, return protection for 90 days in case the merchant won't take it back, and purchase protection against theft and accidental damages for 90 days from purchase. So when your newborn spits up on your brand new going back to work outfit, the EveryDay card will have you covered.
- Earn 10,000 points after you use your new Card to make $1,000 in purchases within the first 3 months.
- No annual fee. Plus, 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months, then a variable rate, currently 12.99% to 21.99%, based on your creditworthiness and other factors.
- Earn 20% more points: Make 20 or more purchases with your Card in a billing period and earn 20% more points on those purchases less returns and credits. Terms and limitations apply.
- 2x points at US supermarkets, on up to $6,000 per year in purchases (then 1x); 1x points on other purchases. Terms and limitations apply.
- The Amex EveryDay Card comes with the security and 24/7 service of American Express.
- Terms and limitations apply.
2. Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express
The Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express pays you 6% cash back back at U.S. supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases (then 1%), 3% back at US gas stations and select US department stores, and 1% on other purchases. You get cash back in the form of Reward Dollars that can be redeemed as a statement credit. (Terms and restrictions apply.) While there is a $75 annual fee, if you spend just over $100 a month on gas and groceries this card pays for itself. And I don't know a parent who manages to spend less than $100 a month on groceries. Even before your baby starts eating solid food, you'll find that it's too much effort to go to restaurants and dine-in instead.
- Get $150 back after you spend $1,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months. You will receive $150 back in the form of a statement credit.
- Hassle-free cash back: no enrollment required, the same great reward categories year-round.
- Earn Cash Back: 6% US supermarkets up to $6,000 per year in purchases, 3% US gas stations & select US dept stores, 1% on other purchases. Terms and limitations apply.
- Cash back is received in the form of Reward Dollars that can be redeemed as a statement credit.
- A credit card that gives you cash back with a 0% Intro APR Offer on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months.
- After that, your APR will be a variable rate, currently 12.99%-21.99% based on your creditworthiness and other factors.
- Terms and restrictions apply.
Pre-kids: You go to many stores.
Post-kids: You start shopping mostly at one or two stores.
If pre-kids you went to one store for eggs and milk, and a different store for toilet paper and paper towels; post-kids you'll now shop at just one store for everything. Research shows this, and companies are vying to be the one-store-fits-all for new parents. It's a hassle to take kids of any age in and out of their car seat and into multiple stores. Plus, you just don't have time to shop around like you used to.
So how does this impact your rewards? You should get a rewards card for the place you shop the most. For many parents, including myself, this is Target and Amazon.
3. Target REDcard
The Target Red Card pays you 5% back on all Target purchases. And there's no yearly fee. So, when Target becomes your go-to store for pretty much everything from diaper rash ointment to baby food to laundry detergent to bananas, this card will save you quite a bit by giving you 5% back in rewards.
4. Amazon Rewards Visa
For the days when you just can't get out of the house to make it to Target, or the Babies R Us is too far of a drive, you'll find yourself ordering a lot from Amazon.
In the first few months after our son was born we probably ordered items from Amazon 3+ times a week. These were items we didn't know we needed until suddenly we did. (Like the crib rail cover for when our son starting chewing on his crib and paint chips were going all over the floor and into his mouth.)
Many parents also order diapers and baby food from Amazon because the bulk prices are excellent.
Amazon happens to have their own card that pays 3% back on all Amazon.com purchases; 2% back at gas stations, restaurants, and pharmacies; and 1% back for all other purchases. Additionally, you'll get a $50 Amazon gift card when approved for the card. With no annual fee, if you're spending several hundred dollars a month at Amazon, this card is worth adding to your wallet.
Pre-kids: Shopping protection is great.
Post-kids: Extra shopping protection is essential.
When you become a parent, time flies faster than it ever did before. So that dress you bought that required a return within 30 days? You'll find it at the bottom of your closet, still not fitting, eight weeks later. Even if you had worn it, your child might have stained it with his blueberry covered hands. Thankfully, there are credit cards that have you covered.
5. The Platinum Card® from American Express
The Platinum Card® from American Express offers return protection for those times when you change your mind about a purchase you made with your card.
If you want to return a purchase and a store won't take it back, American Express will take it back for you as long as it's covered under this program (not all purchases are). They will refund an eligible purchase (up to $300, and up to a maximum of $1,000 per calendar year per card account) within 90 days if you've changed your mind.
- Earn 40,000 points after you spend $3,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months.
- With the Platinum Card, you can receive up to $200 a year in statement credits for airline incidental fees like checked bags fees, flight-change fees, and snacks.
- To receive the statement credit, you need to enroll and select a qualifying airline.
- There are no foreign transaction fees with purchases made on your Platinum Card.
- Platinum Card Concierge is your personal resource to help secure a last minute restaurant reservation, or shop for a hard-to-find gift.
- Terms & restrictions apply.
6. Discover it® Card
Discover it card offers 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for 14 months — then a variable purchase APR applies (currently 10.99% - 22.99%). A 3% fee applies to each transferred balance. You get 5% cash back on rotating categories throughout the year. From July through September 2014, get the bonus cash back at gas stations on up to $1,500 in purchases when you sign up. Get a free FICO® Credit Score online and on your monthly statement to help you stay on top of your credit. Plus, this card looks out for you, since each Discover purchase is monitored. If it's unusual, you're alerted by e-mail, phone or text — and never responsible for unauthorized Discover card purchases.
Other great perks of the card are a free FICO score on your statement, 24/7 U.S. based customer service, and no annual fee.

I hope I can find this article when I have children later on in life. This is very helpful to many new moms. With all the expenses that you have with kids, it's always good to know that there are credit cards looking out for you.

What others say about us
I am a 53-year-old life-long average marathoner, Coach Melissa on the Hansons squad has been tremendous to work with and she has helped me to step up my running. Because of Melissa's training and positive encouragement I've set recent PR's in the marathon and won age divisions in the 5k. Anyone interested in turning up their training in a positive environment should take a look at the Hansons team,
After having a baby in October, I knew I needed some outside help to get back into racing shape. With high hopes for a sub three hour marathon, I decided to try out the Hanson's Coaching Service. Working with my coach, Melissa, has helped me train smarter and run harder. After only four weeks of following a training plan that is tailored specifically to my needs, I set my 5k PR! With Melissa's guidance and the individualized plan she has created for me, I expect to set another PR at the Run for the Red Marathon on May 18.
While very new to Hanson Coaching services, the experience so far has been a relentlessly positive one. Finding the group through Luke Humphrey's excellent book on distance training, I was thrilled to find out that there was an option for a custom training program and personalized coaching. Going into my third recent marathon cycle I realized that while I had many thoughts, ideas and great input regarding training, I felt that placing my confidence in an approach was really the right thing to do. Having direct support of a terrific, world class runner as a coach was an unexpected bonus. I'm very much looking forward to the impact of the guided training both for my upcoming marathon and my future races.
I would highly recommend Hansons Coaching Service to anyone looking to become not only a faster runner but a smarter one.
My experience over the last 10 months working with Corey has been fantastic! The original goal was to get me back on track in regards to marathon performance after having some great performances, but then suffering with two DNFs in a row. After the 2nd DNF, I reached out to Hansons coaching and signed up for the customized plan. By working with Corey, I was able to achieve this goal within a few short months and hit very close to my original PR. What is great is that I can now focus on working down my times through shorter races as well. The flexibility of Hanson's Coaching to provide advice outside of just a marathon has been a nice surprise. I am a rather high maintenance runner when it comes to communication and Corey is always extremely responsive to any questions that come up. He is able to help beyond just a training plan and provides thorough feedback on my racing schedule and even racing tactics and goals. My workout feedback is reviewed several times a week and I enjoy getting the candid commentary that helps to pump me up with encouragement when I need it, but also to reel me in when I need a firm voice of reason as well. I'm excited to continue my work with Corey in order to get the most out of myself that I can! I highly recommend the Customized plan for anyone that wants a high level of communication and prefers a plan to be built week by week based on your personal goals and how you are progressing over time.
