Stumbo, House Democrats embrace reforms to special taxing districts
House Democrats plan to run with State Auditor Adam Edelen's push to increase oversight and transparency of special taxing districts across the state.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo said a bill aimed at increasing scrutiny of these boards and agencies that can tax or impose fees will get the coveted designation of House Bill 1 in 2013 — symbolic of being a top priority.
These special taxing districts, which Edelen dubbed ghost government in his review, include library and volunteer fire districts as well as sewer districts, health departments and dozens of others. They collected more than $2.7 billion in taxes and fees last year, Edelen's review found.
Edelen said again Thursday that the law hasn't kept up with requiring proper oversight:
Stumbo said most taxing districts seem to be run well. But the lack of consistent oversight can allow some to get out of control.
For instance, the auditor's office found problems the Garrett Volunteer Fire District in Stumbo's home county of Floyd. The review found questionable spending and pornography videos on the district's computers, according to the Herald-Leader.
Stumbo added that the law also must change to allow special districts that outlive their usefulness to be disbanded.
State Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown — and the new Senate floor leader — has sponsored similar legislation to crack down on those special districts. Last session, Sen. John Schickel of Union joined Thayer.
"For Sen. Schickel and me it's been great to see state-wide elected official take an issue that's important to us and shed some light on it," Thayer said. "It's even more gratifying that the Speaker of the House make that House Bill 1. It's not very often that an issue that's been championed for seven years by Republicans be promoted by Democrats."
The idea first came out of the 2005 local taxation task force, Thayer said.

Charming illustrations of Lennon, Hockney and other characters by Yu Nagaba
Tokyo-based illustrator Yu Nagaba manages to convey so much in black, white and simple line work. He came to our attention thanks to a collaboration with T-shirt company Beams and fashion brand Goodhood, which sees his sweet little images work superbly across simple white garments. But aside from these mega cool collabs, Yu's online portfolio is a veritable treasure trove of characters to get lost in. His John Lennon portraits are perfect in their simplicity, making humorous references to pivotal points in the Scouse specs-wearer's career. We're also very keen on his charming Hockney and a depiction of Keith Haring, which sees him lovingly tickle his own little dogs.

Use These Techniques To Find Good Tenants For Your Rental Properties
As a landlord for over the last 10 years I can tell you I had my share of good tenants and share of some bad tenants, as do all landlords. Today I want to share with you some ideas and techniques that I use to at least limit the possibility of a bad tenant. In my experience I have encountered on a few occasions where no matter how much time and effort you put in, you just can`t predict the future, and because you can`t you won`t be able to for-see your tenant lose their job resulting in you not getting your rent. Will get to more on that in a moment.
As landlords we use a variety of documents and information obtained from the potential renters application, which brings us to step one, a complete application.
A red light of caution should immediately go off in your head if you get back an incomplete application. What is considered incomplete? The person`s job history should go back at least 5 years. Some say 2, but I require 5. I want to see what they have been up to. Do they jump around from job to job? Or are they stable? Is the industry they are working in stable? In other words, are they busy today only to get laid off tomorrow. Get up to 5 years work history. Obviously if you are looking at a section 8 tenant you might not get that, but we`ll talk about section 8 tenants later.
Look for personal and professional references. Three of each is what should be the minimum, although the application that I use (which I customized), has space for 5 each. it is rare that I get 5, but 90% of the time I will get 3 or 4.
Make sure your application calls for what there current bills are. Do they have a car payment? Alimony or child support (although some states do not allow you to ask this)? As you can see you have to deduct these costs from their income to see whether or not they can afford the property.
Find out why they are leaving their current place. Obtain the contact information for the landlord where they live.
Now that you have all that information, start placing some phone calls. Call the jobs, the references and the previous landlord. Find out what kind of person they are. Keep in mind many states do not allow you to ask personal questions, nor can references tell you that someone is a bad tenant, employee or person. What you are trying to find out is are they reliable. Did they show up to work on time? Is it a person that a personal reference can count on? Is the previous landlord sad to see them move out? That type of information.
Notice I did not mention anything about the credit report. If you, like me, rent in an area, where you have a better chance of hitting the lottery then seeing someone with a halfway decent credit report, then you know the credit report is basically worthless. I would only use a credit report if my choices come down to more than one person or family. Then I would take the best of the bunch.
Armed with all the information above, you should have no problem finding quality tenants and keeping them for a very long time. Remember, the more time and effort you put in prior to moving someone in, the less headaches (and court appearances) you will have later.

Welcome to Cisco Support Community. We would love to have your feedback.
For an introduction to the new site, click here. And see here for current known issues.
can mesh controllers be mixed with non-mesh controllers (indoor AP)? is it possible to have one roaming for both mesh and non-mesh controllers?
Obviously a WLC can only have one version of code on it, but if you have two (or more) WLCs, each running different versions of code, then "yes", is the answer. Simply setup a mobility group, configure the same SSIDs on all WLCs, and away you go.
Any questions, just ask.
hey Richard, thanks for your reply... appreciate it!
btw, roaming is one thing,,, ap failover is another...
i have 3 WiSM's... and i have only 20 1510 ap's... can the mesh ap's be mixed with the non-mesh ap's in one controller? i plan to reserve/dedicate one controller for the 1510 ap's but failover is the issue... can the mesh ap's failover to the other WLC's, where non-mesh ap's are registered?
thanks for your time!!
Bit of a fuzzy answer for this one.
If you're using new code, the answer is "no". New code is specifically designed for Mesh or None-Mesh deployments, the different types cannot be mixed.
Older code did support both types, so if you're considering an N+1 redundancy style deployment, and providing you don't mind the failover taking a few minutes, you could leave your "+1" WLC on an older code that does support both types of deployment.
w.r.t. WiSMs, the two controllers that are housed by a single WiSM can quite happily run different versions of code.
whoa! that was quick!!!
thanks, Richard!
thanks for the ideas... really helped a lot....

I teach all levels of music theory that help students succeed. They range from beginning note and music theory through theory needed to perform in symphony orchestras. I also have summer music programs.I teach the theory all musicians should learn if they wish to play with others.
About Diane
Music has been an important part of my life. It represents so much that is good in life and I do my best to communicate this to my students. I am training my students not just to be musicians but to love music for life.
*** Lesson Details ***
I treat each student as an individual since everyone is different. For some I might use a traditional approach, some just the Suzuki approach and others a combination of techniques. Whatever produces the best results. My goal is not to make strictly classical musicians but to train students to love music and carry this love throughout life. My repertoire consists of everything including traditional, Suzuki, Disney, Showtunes, etc. I have taken students to perform little concerts at the White House, schools, hospitals and concert halls to get the real feel of performing. I view lessons as a three way relationship between myself, the student and the parent so that the parent is not left out. I even have a small group called Musical Magic which incorporates magic into music. I feel I am laid back but am able to accomplish my goal through positive reinforcement. Every child or student wants to feel good about his/her playing. If you believe in yourself, anything is possible. If you want online lessons, please contact me through Take Lessons since I have additional availability to teach online. In the past six months my students have performed for the National Humane Society at their animal ball, a multi teacher recital on a local stage, and just two weeks ago seven of them performed at Strathmore. This summer I have two more concerts planned. Coming up will be an all instrument graduation with several other teachers where students receive medals for their performances. No student is required to perform but if they want to the opportunity is there. All students are required to have an instrument prior to beginning lessons. If students need to rent a violin, I will provide you with the name of a violin dealer that both rents and sells string instruments. Piano students must have a piano or keyboard.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I teach at home and have both a grand piano and electric keyboard in addition to a harp and violin.
*** Travel Equipment ***
When my students have to travel to perform, I make sure they have everything they need.
*** Specialties ***
Traditional and Suzuki approaches for both violin and piano. I also teach children with learning disabilities.and have extensive summer programs to help students with auditions for youth orchestras and school orchestras.

About Carol
Taking private lessons is a unique environment as it fosters a customized approach to learning. Both the instructor and the student work together to create a better understanding of the instrument and achieve a higher level of appreciation. .
I would love to share my passion and joy of music with anyone who wants to discover their own journey into the musical world.
I have worked with student's from the age of five through adulthood. I enjoy working with any age group. As a teacher, I am always looking for new ideas to aid in a student's musical journey.
I teach to the student's "l
I have always felt that one of my greatest strengthens is my ability to interact with children and adults, and I hope that I can continue to share my love of music in the coming years.
During high school I participated in A Cappella Choir, and joined a global performing group, called "Up With People" that traveled locally and statewide. I was active in high school music productions and I studied privately voice and piano.
Since then, I have continued to sing with community based choral groups throughout the Washington, DC region. I have also assisted as an piano accompanist for a small local church.
I graduated from George Mason University, with a Bachelors degree in Liberal Arts. While attending the University, I sang with the university choir and studied classical piano under the tutelage of Jacequeline Schmitt. I was because of her that I developed an interest in piano technique.
During and after college I studied with a private voice instructor from Catholic University, where I learned classical voice.
I am currently working with a Takelessons teacher to maintain my skill.
I am also currently working on being certified as a Music Color teacher through an online course written by Andrew Ingkavet. I also received training and certification as a Music for Young Children, a program designed for early keyboard beginners.
I have continued to broaden my personal education by taking online courses, such as reharmonization of chords. I have also attended workshops, sponsored by the Piedmont music club, on how to incorporate improvisation into my lesson plans.
Lesson Details
I use a variety of methods for teaching piano. I do not restrain my approach to one method, but draw on resources from other methods and approaches.
I include music theory, ear training and piano technique into the lesson. While I am a classically trained pianist, I do not stick to that style of music. I believe that exposing the student to all types or styles of music broadens their education.
I use the computer and any apps that are available to further my students skills on the keyboard.
Within six months I would hope that the student would feel more comfortable at the piano. I would expect him to learn posture at the piano, including hand position. I would expect that his knowledge of the right and left hand notes would become more proficient, and that he would understand what the staff is. I would expect that he understands keyboard geography, distance between notes, the concept of high/low, dynamics, and patterns (both directional and melodic). I would add two-handed playing, at a very basic level. This, of course, would depend upon the student's pace and how much effort is put into the learning of the instrument.
My goal is to create a fun and lively learning environments, that with patience, will result in a life long love of music and the personal benefits it imparts.

In 2000, I worked for the Jewish Primary Day School (Grades K – 6), where I introduced the conceptual structure of music, focusing on melody, rhythm, and harmony and their expressive and stylistic organization. Program objectives included: 1) ability to listen with discrimination, 2) ability to sing on pitch within a limited range, 3) ability to play simple rhythm and melodic instruments, 4) ability to interpret music through body movements, impersonations, and dramatizations, and 5) ability to associate symbols of musical notation with musical concepts.

Gerald Kok, a former fund manager at Macquarie Group, is readying his own hedge fund.
GSK Global Fund will invest in U.S. and Asia-Pacfic firms going through corporate events like mergers or divestments and with share prices running at a significant discount to fair value, Kok told Bloomberg.
Kok runs Singapore-based G&S Asset Management with Susan Xiao who will also launch a fund this year. Together, the two funds will manage $10 million.
"We will be flexible and go where the compelling investment opportunities are," said Kok. "While we prefer to have catalysts in our investments, it is not absolutely necessary as long as it's cheap enough."
Kok was previously a vice president at Macquarie in Singapore. His prior career included stints with Credit Suisse Group's investment-banking division and hedge fund Gruss Capital Management in Hong Kong.

Case against a former Saskatoon company heating up
CTV Saskatoon
Published Friday, March 2, 2012 7:05AM CST
The case of a former Saskatoon company facing fraud charges is heating up.
Ron Fast of Marathon Leasing is accused of bilking millions of dollars from more than 100 Saskatchewan investors. The charges date back to the 1990's. Now, those investors have launched a class action lawsuit. But it's not against Marathon Leasing.
Instead of going after the company or Ron Fast himself, the investors have filed against Ron Fast's former lawyer and the Saskatchewan Securities Commission. That's the regulatory body through the provincial government that protects the public when it comes to investments. The lawsuit claims the securities commission did not do its job.
On Thursday afternoon, the courtroom was packed with people who say they invested with Marathon Leasing, only to lose most of or all of the money they put in. The company used investor's money to deal with leased vehicles. It was run by Fast and Danielle Fast-Carlson.
RCMP started investigating the owners in 2009, and just last week laid several fraud charges dating back to 1995.
Police say more than 100 investors lost millions of dollars through this company. Some were from across Canada but most of the investors were from Saskatchewan.
Helen Fehr was in court for Fast's first appearance Thursday afternoon. "We lost a lot of money through this. An investment. We trusted him BUT in the end it wasn't what we expected it to be."
The unhappy people hoping to get an explanation from Fast were further disappointed when neither he, nor Fast-Carlson showed up in court. They were represented by their lawyers.
The case was adjourned to next month, but most people in court say they will be back for the next date, and hope to find restitution.

Hello, I'm Tbhotch. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Shroud of Turin, but you didn't provide a source. I've removed it for now, but if you'd like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 05:28, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- It needs a source meeting WP:RS which discusses the Shroud. Dougweller (talk) 05:52, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Shroud of Turin shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Dougweller (talk) 15:15, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Learn About Asthma Relief Options With Chesterfield MO Advanced Allergy Therapy Technique
Many undesirable symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, rashes and itching, that are often the result of allergies and sensitivities, are felt by thousands of people on a regular basis. The irritants that can spur these reactions may also activate asthma attacks in some individuals. A lot of sufferers have found relief by visiting a Chesterfield MO Advanced Allergy Therapy administrator.
This a holistic type of care with an all natural approach. The method is completely safe, painless, effective, noninvasive, and involves no use of needles, herbal remedies, supplements or drugs. This field of medicine believes that many health issues are caused by an irritant having a negative effect on a particular organ system. By reducing the stress in the target area, relief may be found.
The first order of business is to ascertain which organ system is the one being irritated by which substance. This is mainly done by taking information from the client about their symptoms and the details of their manifestations. The practitioner is not qualified to make a determination on which, if any, sensitivities or allergies the individual may suffer, but only to attend their complaints.
Each of the body's systems has corresponding pressure points in the hands, feet or other areas. By putting a bit of pressure on a particular spot, a connection to a specific organ can be made. While performing this action, the therapist will apply a sample of the irritant to one's skin with the goal of retraining the receptors to produce a more desirable response.
Allergies and sensitivities can trigger many unfavorable responses within a person's body. Every individual can have a different reaction to the same stimuli, and to varying degrees. These can range in seriousness from annoying such as coughs, congestion and sneezing, to the more severe issues like itchy rashes, inflammation, migraines and asthma.
This technique is not intended as a replacement for medical therapies. It should be used in conjunction with them in order to train the body to response less severely to the stimuli. Reducing symptoms makes life a bit easier on the sufferer.
Discover asthma relief with the Chesterfield MO advanced allergy therapy clinic. You can find out more about your treatment options by visiting http://www.stlouisallergyrelief.com/.

On the surface, the recent Hyundai Groupon may not seem like a newsworthy event. The Korean automaker recently offered Chicago-area residents a coupon for a $29 oil change, tire rotation and inspection.
While the coupon itself was nice, it wasn't really something to get excited over. What is exciting, though, is how this campaign opens doors for other automakers to start offering their own Groupons. Car dealer service shops charge notoriously high prices which could possibly be brought down through the use of Groupons.
Further, I won't be surprised to see automakers selling their cars through Groupon if the maintenance Groupons turn out to be big successes. Hyundai isn't committing to anything like that just yet, but each participating Hyundai dealer did report an impressive 130 new service leads each.

French Society presents...
Rêver Peut-Être.
By Jean-Claude Grumberg
Lent Week 3
Gérard B. is arrested for the murder of Polonius - a murder he committed in a dream. From reality to absurd, 'Rêver,Peut-Être' is a schizophrenic dance into B.'s deepest fears and fantasies.
As part of the Month of International Theatre, the French society will be proposing this original and immersive show - on the brink between typical French absurd and experimental theatre. The play promises to be a visual and aesthetic experience suited for a non-French-speaking audience.
Between dreams and reality all the characters of this sometimes fantastical play coexist, evolve and become obsessive. Rêver Peut-Être is an absurd comedy with a plethora of references to Hamlet: it addresses the unconcious, the desire for revenge, the dangers of arrayed justice, the absence of the father and perhaps more than anything the schizophrenia of the actor.
Get involved with Rêver Peut-Être.:
For auditions contact email@example.com by 2:00am on Thu 09 Nov - more details
We are looking for: Set Designer , Video Designer/Animation Video Designer and Costume Designer Assistant - more details

Although I live in the US, I grew up in Germany, and my family is spread out all over the world (Australia, Africa, Europe, N. and S. America), so we love to travel and eat. I have always enjoyed amateur photography, and now that my children are older and more independent, I am finally getting a chance to devote a little more time to it. Traveling and food always make for some wonderful photographic opportunities, but I also enjoy finding photographic moments in the everyday and mundane.

Its that time of the year again when we take on the Aussies at their own game to celebrate Australia Day (they will return the favour on Paddy's day). Last year the Irish team secured a fine draw so lets go one better this year.
The game is being held at Montgomery Park in South Vancouver (Oak and 45th) this Saturday January 28th at 1PM.
Click here for a map.
As always we advise people to ensure they have health insurance before playing in any games.
If you have any interest in playing some Aussie Rules this is a great day to try it out as it is a relatively relaxed affair so early in the year. The invitation is open to everyone so if you have friends who are not club members or not even Irish but who are interested bring them along to give it a try.
Location: Montgomery Park
Time: 1 – 4 pm
After game function: Ceili's Bar (corner of Granville & Smithe) from 5:30 pm

A couple of weeks ago a very exciting email landed in my inbox. AO were doing a gifting challenge were they had a list the 10 products they thought were going to be really popular at Christmas and wanted bloggers to pick gifts from that list for each other to give them a try. Think Secret Santa of the blogging world.
The lovely Lins from Boo and Maddie nominated me and I was thrilled to have to choose a gift for her. Lins blogs about renovating her 30's home in South East London and even though she has a small kitchen I know she has plans to extend it in the future. I thought my gift would be really useful, especially once her house renovation is finished. You can see here what I got for her.
I was ecstatic when the item that Lins chose for me – De'Longhi Icona Micalite Espresso Coffee Machine was delivered last week. As a coffee lover I couldn't have asked for a better gift.

"Amanda Horton took the stage for the first of her performances, and she began with the beloved "Summertime" from Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" dating from the middle 1930s. Her clear articulation and spot on intonation in this unaffected performance embraced the audience in the poignant emotion of the song. And, in a completely different style, she then sang "By Strauss" which as program annotators Joseph and Elizabeth Kahn point out, was Gershwin's last song. Horton was charming as she spun out the melody, swaying in the waltz rhythm of its light hearted and appealing movie-music style...Horton returned to offer "The Man I Love" and her performance once again demonstrated how expressive her lovely voice is in presenting the emotional content of a song." (Horry News)
"Amanda Horton joined the orchestra with a ravishing performance of [Mahler's] Das Himmlische Leben...Horton projected her clear and beautiful voice with no amplification, a treat to hear these days. Horton never lost the tenderness and serenity needed to project the text's meaning, which is a child's view of heaven." (Myrtle Beach Sun News)
"Horton especially excelled in her renditions of songs from "South Pacific"...her acting and choreographic skills were superlative...The vocals were terrific" (Asheville Daily Planet)
"Among the women, Amanda Horton pleased us all evening, with her golden, pure soprano, heard to greatest effect in her lovely "Deh vieni, non tardar", in the famous letter writing scene with the Countess, and in all her scenes with Figaro, whose lines elicit some of her sweetest vocal responses." (Asheville Citizen-Times)
"Pamina's beautiful, floating pianissimos..."
(Asheville Citizen-Times)
"Amanda Horton was magnificent as Maria Reiner"
"...the central-European Ländler danced by Horton and first Kimbrough, then Flores were...charming numbers." (Classical Voice of North Carolina, cvnc.org)
"Horton was in excellent voice which filled the hall with its great power, range, and expressiveness. In all her selections she maintained vocal warmth and control and an air of great relaxation and pleasure. Her performance reflected a seemingly effortless vocal skill, and her body language and constant facial connection with her audience assured that she was totally engaged in every song offered...a perfect expression of musical Americana, offered by a superb vocal artist who has the ability to recall profoundly the beauties of our past. " (Classical Voice of North Carolina, cvnc.org)
"Alfred Bachelet's "Chère nuit" featured...an emotive performance by Ms. Horton. Second came three Schubert Lieder...All three displayed the impressive technique of both artists which lent the music tremendous clarity. Particularly to be noted was the singing piano touch of Mr. Weiser and the acting ability of Ms. Horton, which brought her opera background to the fore...Franz Lehár's "Vilja"..once again put Amanda Horton's fantastic acting and vocal chops at center stage. "Ain't it a Pretty Night!"...was delivered with consummate skill" (Classical Voice of North Carolina, cvnc.org)
Artist Biography
Amanda Horton has been lauded by Classical Voice of North Carolina as a "beautiful, rich soprano" of "great color and vocal expressiveness", capable of "quiet passion and simplicity" as well as "joy and power" (cvnc.org). "Her clear articulation and spot on intonation in this unaffected performance embraced the audience in the poignant emotion of the song." (Horry News)
Recent performances include Carmina Burana and Mahler's Symphony No. 4 (Long Bay Symphony), Mozart's Requiem (Asheville Symphony Amadeus Festival), A Night in Vienna: Mozart, Lehar & Strauss (Amici Music), Schmitt's La Tragedie de Salome (Asheville Symphony Orchestra), Handel's Messiah and Hansel and Gretel (Long Bay Symphony) and songs by Lili Boulanger (Asheville Choral Society & Orchestra). Other regional appearances include An Evening with Rodgers and Hammerstein (Brevard Philharmonic Orchestra), Hansel and Gretel with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and Poulenc's Gloria with Southern Appalachian Chamber Singers at Piccolo Spoleto Festival. Ms. Horton frequently creates and directs performances herself, including the 1940s cabaret Live from the USO: A Tribute to the WWII Era and A Night in Vienna (AmiciMusic), and Mother & Child and Songs of Innocence and Wisdom (classical cabaret-narratives). She also created the role of Jenny Lind in 2016, in the first reading of C. Robert Jones' one-woman show, Jenny Lind Sings Tonight!
Operatic highlights include Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), Adina (L'elisir d'amore), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel) and Adele (Die Fledermaus). The versatile soprano also triumphed as Maria in The Sound of Music with Asheville Lyric Opera, in a performance hailed as "magnificent" by CVNC.org.
Ms. Horton performed as a Young Artist with Opera Santa Barbara and holds opera performance degrees from Furman University and Shenandoah Conservatory. For more information, please visit AmandaHortonSoprano.com

Toba Mika and Her Unique Katazome Paintings
Mika, who has a Masters degree from the Kyoto City University of Arts, has developed a new style of painting by using the traditional Katazome method. When she first came to Vietnam in 1994, the artist immediately felt an invisible connection between Katazome paintings and Vietnam's scenery and cultural heritage, and this prompted her to make several trips to Vietnam. She has held five exhibitions in Vietnam, attracting great attention and admiration from Vietnamese art enthusiasts. In 2005, she was awarded the Medal "For the Cause of Culture" by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. In 2012, she received the Japanese Foreign Minister's Award for her contribution to promoting friendship between Japan and Vietnam through her works and cultural activities.
