I spent last night in the VWbus down by the river and have yet to rlly 'do something' with my day.
At the sandys' drive-in, dressed with pjs and my best poodle hair, I sipped on two cups of folgers with scott. He ate french toast. We discussed economics, raising children, ladygag slut artist [time mags interesting ppl article], and 'diet pills', because the mainstream morning [2,4, or 6] program was feelin' risky and [btw], they're not healthy. I had yogurt sprinkled with hemp hearts, fresh huckleberries, and 30oz of coffee for breakfast. I just looked up the wrd 'sojourn' while listening to the new Arcade Fire album, the suburbs. Approaching 10:45am, the day is not going ostensibly well, added with happy torpor -I know it's not going anywhere. I plan on, but know, not all will be completed nor attempted; doing my hair, walking to the post office, hitting up safeway (organic yogurt), doing dishes, folding the heap of laundry on my couch, brew much needed kombucha, taking a 2+ hr nap, pay-off a fine, catch an episode of ancient aliens, do some interneting, and sign-up for classes. It's my day off... in all candor, i hope no one comes over, no one calls. Forget me today or resist the urge to inflect on my solitude.

Today is the third in a string of beautiful sunny days, chilly, with temperatures down to freezing at night. I'm not sure how the birds have been enjoying it, but the bird 'watchers' sure have! We did a lot of running around on the weekend and noticed every road out in this area seemed to be lined with parked cars and people packing big cameras and spotting scopes.
Started over to the park today but gave up, just way too many people!
as is usually the case on nice days….not much activity out there on the flats..
although there did seem to be some Bald Eagles way over by the Harrison River. And of course there were gulls…people don't bother them!
What I did spot today was the first Gadwall of the season (on left). It had occurred to me just the other day that it was strange that we hadn't had any Gadwall yet – and there he is!
one brave eagle ventured down to feed and many more were flying over head…
a quick trip to our garbage containers and I discovered where a lot of the eagles were….hiding in the dense forest on the inaccessible side of a mountain….this isn't a great picture but there are 6 of them in it.
there are lots of little birds about, including this Song Sparrow posing nicely in some fallen leaves. Towhee, Junco, Chickadees, Nuthatches and Kinglets can be heard. Speaking of being heard…the Raven have been very vocal today…have also seen a fair number of crows, in fact at one point this morning there seemed to be a mass exodus of eagles, ravens and crows flying overhead away from the estuary. I suspect someone just had to venture out there and that was the cause.

A breach of planning control is defined in section 171A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as:
- the carrying out of development without the required planning permission; or
- failing to comply with any condition or limitation subject to which planning permission has been granted.
Any contravention of the limitations on, or conditions belonging to, permitted development rights, under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995, constitutes a breach of planning control against which enforcement action may be taken.
In summary, the main principles of planning enforcement are:
- The use of enforcement powers is discretionary
- Carrying out development without planning permission is not an offence - it may be unauthorised but is not illegal
- Planning permission may be sought retrospectively
All authorities need an Enforcement Policy in place which clearly sets out how they will deal with enforcement complaints, including dealing with both complainants and alleged offenders. Whilst each authority will need to establish policies suitable for their own local circumstances, as a minimum an enforcement policy should establish the following basic procedures:
- How each enforcement complaint will be prioritised, both on initial receipt and the process for re-categorisation following an initial site visit
- The timescale within which a site will be first visited - this should be related to the priority afforded to the complaint
- Targets for the overall time taken to deal with different categories of complaint - a service level agreement with the council's legal section signing up to targets for legal work dealing with different requests/instructions
- Targeted timescales for responding to complainants and alleged offenders at key stages of the process
- How anonymous complaints will be dealt with
- How confidentiality issues will be handled, including how the council will usually respond to 'freedom of information' requests, and in what circumstance the council might wish to use information which might identify a complainant.

One of the things I hear from people is, "they want to take the time to exercise, but everything else in their life takes priority". Which is fine, but ultimately, if you don't take time to take care of yourself, the other "priorities" will not really matter because you will become too stressed, tired, or sick to care about any of it. You will become resentful or turn into a robot of habit and routine. By taking the time to invest in yourself now, you will be investing in a lifetime of health and fitness and active living. You will appreciate life more.
Investing in your health takes commitment, but in moderation. Take it one step at a time. Don't try to do everything at once, it can get to overwhelming. When it comes to your exercise routine, try to incorporate the following:
1. Resistance training: will raise your metabolism and cause you to burn more calories at work and at rest. It will also help prevent osteoporosis.
2. Cardiovascular or aerobic exercise: will strengthen and challenge your cardiovascular system (heart & vascular), which will become more efficient and healthy. It will help you burn calories.
3. Proper nutrition: Eat and drink foods that will give your body the nutrients it needs to perform properly while exercising, make you feel better and give you more energy throughout the day and all your daily activities. Remember what goes in is what comes out.
Here's to your health.

OXFORD, Miss. — In the beginning, there was was Laquon Treadwell. Well, almost the beginning.
Treadwell arrived at Ole Miss in 2013, Hugh Freeze's second season as coach of the Rebels.
The actual beginning, 2012, included Cody Core, who was far less-decorated than Treadwell as a high school player but who developed into an NFL wide receiver.
Treadwell for three years was the poster child of what would become and remains a deep and talented group.
In 2016 the group's signature receiver was Damore'ea Stringfellow, a transfer from Washington who did not receive a NFL Scouting Combine invitation for off-field reasons yet maintains quite a bit of buzz as the draft approaches.
RELATED: Ole Miss TE Evan Engram a scouting combine 'winner'
Freeze has added size, speed and physicality to his receivers. He's continued to recruit well – sometimes to the detriment of other positions – but the receiver position is stacked.
That's why it was surprising to see the group under-perform at the end of 2016. Freeze said he counted 10 drops against Vanderbilt, plays that, if made, could possibly have changed things in a 38-17 loss. There also were dropped passes against Mississippi State, but there was a lot more team-wide dysfunction in a 55-20 loss.
As Freeze inserted true freshman Shea Patterson at quarterback following an injury to Chad Kelly, timing and chemistry between quarterback and receivers became a topic of discussion.
RELATED: Chad Kelly's baggage said to be 'considerably worse' than reported
The Rebels are going through spring drills now, and you can see why sophomore receivers A.J. Brown and D.K. Metcalf were so coveted. Collectively, though, the issue of chemistry is still there. Drops are less frequent than they were in November, but they're more than you expect from this group.
New wide receivers coach Jacob Peeler believes the issue will resolve itself, but that won't likely happen before the conclusion of spring drills.
"Normally the biggest jump for guys is from post-spring ball going into fall camp," he said. "That's when they're able to throw on their own. We're not out there. That's when the timing comes into play."
The timing was right for Peeler, a former California assistant, in January. Cal coach Sonny Dykes was let go, and as his staff scrambled, Freeze snatched up Peeler, a native Mississippian and noted recruiter.
While the receivers get to know Patterson better, they're learning a new offense, too. It's the same tempo to which they've been accustomed, but there are tweaks to the run game, new terminology and new faces.
Peeler says he's had a quick understanding of things with new coordinator Phil Longo because of the system Dykes ran at Cal.
Brown, Metcalf and Van Jefferson expect to be the starters come August. There's quality depth with veterans DaMarkus Lodge and Markell Pack and excitement for redshirt freshman Tre Nixon.
Peeler held his guys longer after a recent practice to close with a focus drill.
"It was about ball-security, where your eyes follow the ball to the tuck. You're focused on the details of looking the ball in," he said. "You've got to make sure play one looks like play 41 and play 41 looks like play 81. The details don't change."

The Court Controller Project is a product development venture I have been working on for the past 8 months. My goal is to provide basketball players of all ages an affordable and effective training tool for improving basketball dribbling, shooting and court vision skills. The aide will also improve player motivation and overall game play confidence.
So, what is the Court Controller?
The Court Controller blind-eyed dribbling mask is a soft, flexible training aide that improves a player's dribbling ability. To achieve this, each mask is incorporated with a blinder just below the eyes that blocks vertical peripheral vision. Disabling a player's ability to see his hands, feet and basketball while playing forces him to dribble without seeing the basketball. And over time, the player will unquestionably, undeniably learn how the basketball moves as he dribbles resulting in skilled ball control.
The training aide is one-size fits all. This is accomplished by having a 1/4 inch neuprene foam lining inserted inside each Court Controller. The foam contours to each athlete's unique facial curves providing a comfortable and stable fit.
All required items (mold, buckles, straps, plastic, foam) are ordered and ready for delivery within 30 days. At this point, all steps to produce the Court Controller mask are complete, and I foresee no problems with getting the product to market by April 1.
I hope you find value in this project and how the Court Controller will improve basketball player's dribbling skills, playing ability and confidence.
Thank you for helping to bring this project to life. Your support will help produce more fundamentally sound and confident basketball players around the world.

Boxing clever sorts out Scots rabbit plague…
A simple wooden box has helped one Scottish farmer clear 76,000 rabbits from his land. Claire Powell finds
out more
RABBIT numbers have been steadily recovering across the UK since myxomatosis wiped out 99% of the population in 1953. Some areas are now back to pre-disease levels, as John Bruce knows.
His land at Balmanno Farms, near Bridge of Earn, Perthshire, runs up the side of a valley, rising from 3m (10ft) above sea level to 213m (700ft) at the highest point. Among this is hill land which, together with scattered woodland, makes ideal rabbit habitat. His 283ha (700 acres) of cereals and 485ha (1200 acres) of grass suffered as a result.
"The most obvious damage was to the winter crops," says Mr Bruce. "I was losing patches and strips along field boundaries." But grass losses, although less visual, were "substantial", running at about 20%, he notes.
Traditional control methods, like gassing, shooting and ferreting, were only having a limited impact, and attempts to control the rabbits with fencing failed, says Mr Bruce. The final straw came five years ago when a 5.3ha (13-acre) field of winter barley was wiped out.
"I had had enough of feeding my profits to rabbits. I decided I had to manage the problem more effectively." He based his new system around a cheap and simple box trap he had heard of some years before.
Each box measures 0.9m x 0.6m x 0.6m (3ft x 2ft x 2ft), and is dug into the ground under a rabbit run. Rabbits are caught as they run across a balanced tilt lid which acts like a trap door – the lid opens and the rabbit falls into the box. The lid then swings back up, preventing escape.
He now has over 100 rabbit boxes, which have cleared more than 76,000 rabbits from his land. In the fence line separating the open hill from the farm, five boxes each caught more than 400 rabbits a year for four years. On one exceptional night 62 rabbits were caught in one box. The warrens on this hill are now virtually empty. One nights catch last autumn produced just one hedgehog, which was set free, and one rabbit.
Mr Bruce reckons the main benefit is the ease with which young rabbits are caught before they can breed. "They are a soft target. Being naive, they have little fear of the traps and readily cross them. Adults are picked off during the rest of the year, so by year 3 there are no young rabbits and few adults left."
Mr Bruce is still paying for the cost of his one-time infestation. While decent-yielding grain crops now grow where rabbit-decimated ones struggled a few years ago, the damage to some of his pastures is more costly to repair.
He is having to consider re-seeding – the rabbits having nibbled out the more succulent herbage shoots, reducing pasture quality long-term.
But woodland is recovering. Previously where all young shoots were eaten off, new trees now naturally regenerate.
But Mr Bruce is not complacent – he remembers how quickly rabbit numbers climbed after myxomatosis. Although pickings are now slim, boxes are still set regularly. "Having fought for five years to reclaim my farm from the rabbits, Im not prepared to hand it back to them now."
Balmanno trapper Ron Alllison with one mornings catch from the boxes in 1992. Previous attempts to control rabbits, using gas, ferrets and guns, met with little success.

CODEST ENGINEERING, an unincorporated joint venture of Compagnia Europea Appalti S.p.A, an Italian Corporation, and Rizzani De Eccher S.p.A., an Italian Corporation, Plaintiff,
HYATT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware Corporation, Defendant.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: COAR
Before the court are two motions by plaintiff Codest Engineering ("Codest"). In its first motion, Codest moves to strike each of defendant Hyatt International Corporation's ("Hyatt") affirmative defenses, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(f). Codest also moves to dismiss Hyatt's counterclaim, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). For the reasons set forth below, plaintiff's motion to strike defendant's affirmative defenses is granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiff's motion to dismiss defendant's counterclaim is granted in part and denied in part.
I. Factual Background
Codest's complaint contains the following allegations. Codest is a professional engineering firm and general contractor that submitted, at Hyatt's request, a proposal for the design, construction, and outfitting of a Hyatt hotel complex in Moscow, Russia. (Compl., PP 2, 7). Following this submission, Hyatt asked Codest to provide certain "pre-construction services" and to work with it to modify the project's design to reduce the projected construction costs. (Id. P 8). Because Codest needed to retain and pay outside design consultants and expected to incur substantial out-of-pocket expenses relating to these pre-construction services, it met with representatives of Hyatt at Hyatt's corporate headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, to negotiate an agreement governing the provision of and payment for those services. (Id. PP 9-10). As a result of these negotiations between Codest and persons who purportedly represented Hyatt, a letter of agreement ("Letter Agreement") was signed on June 1, 1990, by and between Codest, Hyatt, and Moscow International Hotels ("MIH"). (Id. PP 9-11). Codest contends that MIH was a shell corporation established by Hyatt, and was financially dependent upon and "dominated and controlled by" Hyatt's management. (Id. P 10). The June 1, 1990 Letter Agreement stated in pertinent part that MIH was the owner of the Moscow Hyatt hotel complex; that the "Owner has nominated Hyatt . . . to coordinate the appointment of a general contractor," (id. Exh. A, preface); and that the "Owner and Hyatt hereby appoint Codest Engineering as the general contractor for the Project," (id., Exh. A, P 1).
In accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreement, Codest hired consultants and designers to prepare designs and documentation for the construction project. (Compl., P 12). In addition to these expenses, Codest incurred additional costs and expenses after Hyatt repeatedly changed and delayed its plans for the Moscow hotel complex. (Id. P 13). To remedy this situation, Codest and Hyatt executed an amendment ("Amendment") to the June 1, 1990 Letter Agreement on January 31, 1991. (Id. P 14). Under the terms of paragraph four ("P 4") of the Amendment, the "parties agreed that the outstanding cost due to Codest is U.S. $ 597,000." (Id., Exh. B, P 4). The Amendment also provided that Codest was to be paid $ 200,000 on or before March 1, 1991, and that the balance plus interest (11% per annum) was to be paid either with Codest's first project progress claim or "not later than 5 months from the expiration of [the Amendment]." (Id.). Paragraph nine of the Amendment ("P 9") further provided that Codest would incur $ 368,500 in additional pre-construction costs for services rendered after January 31, 1991. (Compl., P 14(b)). Codest actually incurred $ 271,000 in additional expenses such that a total of $ 869,400 was due and owing to Codest under the Amendment as of March 1, 1991. (Id. P 17). Several months after Codest and Hyatt executed the written amendment, Hyatt allegedly executed or caused to have the amendment executed by Volage, the successor to MIH. (Id. P 16).
Hyatt failed to pay the $ 200,000 due on March 1, 1991; instead, it paid $ 100,000 in May 1991. (Compl., PP 18-19). Hyatt thereafter refused to pay any additional money to Codest on the grounds that Volage was developing the Moscow hotel complex and that Hyatt's role had been to provide limited technical advisory services to Volage. (Id.). Hyatt further advised Codest that Volage did not intend to proceed with the project. (Id. P 19). Codest contends, however, that Hyatt was the principal developer. To that end, Codest alleges that it always dealt with Hyatt officers who never identified themselves as agents or employees of Volage, that Hyatt conducted all contractual and technical negotiations with Codest, and that Hyatt signed all of the resulting agreements. (Id. P 21).
Codest makes the following claims in its complaint. In Count I, Codest alleges that Hyatt failed to pay Codest both the P 4 agreed payment and the P 9 payment obligation. In Count II, Codest alleges that Hyatt failed to provide funding for Volage to pay the P 4 agreed payment and the P 9 payment obligation. Count III alleges that Hyatt failed to exercise its best efforts to secure financing for the Hyatt Moscow complex. In Count IV, Codest claims an account stated in the amount of $ 847,612.50 as of December 1994, consisting of the P 4 agreed payment of $ 597,500 and interest at the agreed rate of 11%. Finally, Count V advances a claim in the alternative that Volage is Hyatt's alter ego and/or agent and that Hyatt is liable for Volage's debt to Codest under the Amendment.
II. Plaintiff's Motion to Strike Affirmative Defenses
A. Legal Standard for Motions to Strike Affirmative Defenses
Motions to strike affirmative defenses are governed by Rule 12(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which provides:
Upon motion made by a party before responding to a pleading or, if no responsive pleading is permitted by these rules, upon motion made by a party within 20 days after the service of the pleading upon the party or upon the court's own initiative at any time, the court may order stricken from any pleading any insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f).
Courts have consistently disfavored motions to strike affirmative defenses. Williams v. Jader Fuel Co., Inc., 944 F.2d 1388, 1400 (7th Cir. 1991); Wilson v. City of Chicago, 900 F. Supp. 1015, 1023 (N.D. Ill. 1995). Generally, such motions will only be granted if the affirmative defenses are "patently defective and could not succeed under any circumstances." Mobley v. Kelly Kean Nissan, Inc., 864 F. Supp. 726, 732 (N.D. Ill. 1993); see also Williams, 944 F.2d at 1400 (7th Cir. 1991) (stating that court will not grant motion to strike affirmative defenses unless it finds that defense is insufficient on face of pleadings, and "it appears to a certainty that plaintiff would succeed despite any state of the facts which could be proved in support of the defense and are inferable from the pleadings") (citations omitted). Before a motion to strike can be granted, the court must "be convinced that there are no questions of fact, that any questions of law are clear and not in dispute, and that under no set of circumstances could the defense succeed." Lirtzman v. Spiegel, Inc., 493 F. Supp. 1029, 1031 (N.D. Ill. 1980) (citation omitted).
Affirmative defenses are pleadings and are therefore subject to all pleading requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Heller Financial, Inc. v. Midwhey Powder Co., Inc., 883 F.2d 1286, 1294 (7th Cir. 1989); Flasza v. TNT Holland Motor Express, Inc., 155 F.R.D. 612, 613 (N.D. Ill. 1994). Whether or not a defense fulfills the Rule 12(b)(6) standard depends on whether it would be impossible for the defendant to prove a set of facts in support of the affirmative defense that would defeat the complaint. Bobbitt v. Victorian House, Inc., 532 F. Supp. 734, 737 (N.D. Ill. 1982). Thus, affirmative defenses must set forth a "short and plain statement" of the defense. If an affirmative defense is insufficient on its face or comprises no more than "bare bones conclusory allegations," it must be stricken. Heller, 883 F.2d at 1294-95; Flasza, 155 F.R.D. at 613-14. Under this standard, generally pleaded defenses have been held sufficient, and invulnerable to a motion to strike, as long as the pleading gives the plaintiff fair notice of the nature of the defense. Mobley, 864 F. Supp. at 732; 5 Wright & Miller, Federal Practice & Procedure: Civil 2d, § 1274.
B. Analysis1
1. First and Second Affirmative Defenses
In its first affirmative defense, defendant asserts that the contractual obligations alleged in the complaint are the exclusive responsibility of Volage; in its second affirmative defense, Defendant asserts that if it is liable in this case, Volage and Perestroika Joint Venture ("PJV")
are jointly liable and are indispensable parties. Plaintiff argues that, as to Counts I through IV, the first and second affirmative defenses are legally insufficient because they are barred by the law of the case. This argument is based on this court's order of November 6, 1995, denying defendant's motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(7) and Rule 19. In that order, the court found that Hyatt was Volage's agent only for the limited purpose of "'coordinating the appointment of a general contractor. . . . Any duties assigned to Hyatt under the [Letter] Agreement that did not relate to its coordination of the appointment of a general contractor were contractual obligations that Hyatt agreed to perform in its individual capacity.'"

Larger interest of buyers has triggered the increase in the prices of Renewable Energy Certificate (REC). The latest numbers reveal that the prices have rocketed up by about 16 per cent setting the new bar of Rs 1,800 a unit.
The REC trade comes into action on the last Wednesday of every month. The trading session scheduled on August 31 was postponed to September 2.
This year REC trading started in February. The bids to buy RECs overtook the one-lakh mark for the first time since the trading started.
The buy bids marked 1,45,204 against 81,493 of last trade in July while the bids offered by sellers also increased from 34,976 in the previous trade to 49,897 in this year. The number traded of RECs ascended to 22,096 against 14,668.
According to an Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) official, the rise of almost 50 per cent reflects an increasing interest in the market mechanism. Since April, the REC trade which was confined to non-solar RECs has now picked up pace. Nodal agency for REC market, The National Load Dispatch Centre issued a total of 31,813 certificates for August and 1,989 were issued on September 1.
Huge number of Participants
109 buyers (108 non-solar and 1 solar) and 16 sellers participated in the latest trading session. Reliance Energy Trading Ltd, Instinct Infra & Power Ltd, Knowledge Infrastructure Systems Pvt Ltd, Manikaran Power Ltd, PTC India Ltd and REConnect Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd. were major traders and buyers among the participants.
Entities are enthusiastic about trading. Once they get a clearer picture of their actual renewable energy obligation they will pound in, said the officials. With Central Electricity Regulatory Commission's regulations, commissions in 24 States have made open access and captive consumers obligated for renewable purchase in line.

Do NASCAR drivers prefer slots or tables?
By Dominic Aragon
March 12, 2017 LAS VEGAS—NASCAR is in The Sin City for the third race weekend of 2017. We asked various drivers in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and XFINITY Series about their gambling preferences, strategies and if they are staying at a casino resort.
Justin Allgaier: "Tables, all the way. Blackjack is my game that I enjoy. It probably doesn't enjoy me like I enjoy it, but I do enjoy coming out to Vegas, more so just sitting down and talking to people."
William Byron: "I'm not old enough to gamble, so when I'm here, I just hang out and try and sight see and stuff like that. It's a little bit different but it's fun."
Cole Custer: "Slots; I can't gamble yet though."
Spencer Gallagher: "Oh, I'm a roulette man."
Joey Gase: "I'm not a big gambler. I'd say I gamble enough [racing]. But I watch my grandparents play slots."
Brendan Gaughan: "I'm a table guy."
Jeff Green: "Room. No slots or tables for me.
"It works out to where the college basketball games are on, so we just eat supper and watch some basketball games, have fun."
Daniel Hemric: "Tables."
Kyle Larson: "Tables."
Joey Logano: "Neither. I like my money, I'm not going to lose it doing that."
Brad Keselowski: "Blackjack."
Blake Koch: "Man, I just go to the fitness center and ride that spin bike for a long time, getting ready for my race, so I'm not a big gambler."
B.J. McLeod: "I do all my gambling at the racetrack."
Morgan Shepherd: "I don't gamble. Never have gambled. I can't stand to lay my money down and not get it back."
David Starr: "Slots."
Daniel Suarez: "Tables, I guess. I don't know, I'm not a big gambler, the only time that I gamble is [in] the racecar."
Cole Whitt: "I don't even know. I'm not a good gambler."
J.J. Yeley: "Neither. I'm not a gambling guy. The whole time that I've been here, I've went to the dirt races instead of going to the casinos."
Justin Allgaier: "Win money."
Alex Bowman: "I'm a tables guy, but I didn't gamble one bit this trip. Only thing I gambled on was the $65 burger last night at dinner, if it was good or not.
"It wasn't worth $65, so I lost 65 bucks, but it's not the end of the world there."
Cole Custer: "[If I could gamble], I'd probably be pretty cheap, I don't know."
Joey Gase: (On his grandparents' strategy) "Just keep pushing the button, I guess."
Daniel Hemric: "Roulette's my game, for one. My strategy is, don't be scared. You can't play with scared money, that's something my father-in-law told me a long time ago.
"...I'm typically [betting] red or black, try to build up a little money, and then I get carried away putting it on all kinds of numbers."
Spencer Gallagher: (Roulette) "Put $100 on red or black; it hits or it doesn't. If it hits, I take my $200 and walk away. If it doesn't the gods didn't want me to win that night."
David Starr: "Every year I've been coming here, if I need any luck, I need it at the racetrack. So I always wait until after the race."
Justin Allgaier: "Mandalay Bay."
Cole Custer: "Luxor."
Joey Gase: "We're staying at South Point this time around."
Daniel Hemric: "Cosmopolitan."
Blake Koch: "We're at the SLS this weekend."
Joey Logano: "We stay here at the racetrack. It's funny, most people come out to Vegas and enjoy it but this is a work trip for me, so you've got to stay focused and on the race."
B.J. McLeod: "We're usually MGM Grand people."
Morgan Shepherd: "I'm staying at the track."
David Starr: "I'm staying at the South Point because Brendan Gaughan owns it, and gives us a good deal."
Cole Whitt: "South Point this time."
J.J. Yeley: "South Point."

"Here we take off with the sun and these awesome balloons – slowly filling the sky, one by one – definitely put the rise in sunrise." – Everything Mundylicious
From the very first glimpse as the airport shuttle was approaching its destination we were already transfixed with the surreal beauty of the landscape around us. Everything in sight has that unique rustic impression. The rock formations by the main road – posed as a major giveaway to the entire region's ambience – seem to scream of their history as they appear to have preserved their ancient natural form, untainted by modernity. Any traveler would feel like they've turned back in time – like a movie scene shot in the stone age or even beyond. It just makes one wonder in awe as to the richness and diversity of Turkey's natural wealth – its history and culture besides.
Goreme is a town in the ancient region of Turkey collectively called Cappadocia ('Kapadokya' in Turkish) – a historical region in Central Anatolia – a familiar destination for travelers. Goreme is home to a number of historical spots that form the Goreme National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Part of the Turkish Heritage Travel package is a visit to the different museums and the enchanted valleys, among others in the national park. One of the most exciting part of this travel bouquet is the Goreme Hot Air Balloon Rides for which Cappadocia is famous the world over.
The hotel where we stayed took care of the arrangements for the balloon flight with the company Butterfly Balloons – one of about thirty balloon companies in Cappadocia. The standard balloon flight lasts from 1 hour (minimum) to 1 hour 20 minutes with 12 to 16 people inside the 'wicker basket' gondola attached underneath the balloon. For 175 Euros (30 Euros less in winter plus 10 Euros discount for cash payments) my flight mates and myself had the most amazing experience of a lifetime.
Goreme balloon flights are all early morning flights. On the day of our hot air balloon adventure the hotel wake up call was set at 4.30 am. At a wickedly cold glacial weather of -1 degree Celsius we had to get up early and wait for the shuttle service at the hotel lobby. At exactly 4.50 am – an hour before sunrise – the coach arrives to collect us and takes us to the balloon company's headquarters where an open buffet breakfast was waiting at the restaurant.
After breakfast we were grouped according to our would-be pilots and then driven out to the take off site. The schedule is set early because flights need to start just before or during sunrise. The balloons had to be prepared around this time when wind speed is still at its minimum.
Our group was assigned to Pilot Fatih and off we went to the take off site. We were told the take off site changes location everyday as they have to consider wind speed and direction. On some unavoidable circumstances flights may need to be cancelled – during heavy rains or heavy fog or if the speed of ground wind is above 10 knots (not very familiar with this unit, sorry). Fortunately for us it was a lovely clear autumn day.
Once at the take-off site while the crew members were busy preparing the balloon we had the opportunity to witness how it is being inflated and prepped for flight.
When all the prepping was completed, with the help of the crew the flight guests were – one by one – hoisted up and into the basket. Once everyone was on board our charming pilot named Fatih gave a final debrief before take off – highlighting on the most important aspect of safety in hot air balloon flights – the landing position. (He mentioned 'landing position' probably 20 times. How's that for emphasis!)
And he has good reason to as occasionally, landing can get quite bumpy when the wind speed increases at the time of descent. This could lead to a bump and the basket could get yanked onto the landing field until it comes to a natural halt. So everyone has to assume a squatting position while pulling hard on the rope handles positioned in front of each flyer in the basket. (And all electronic devices should be turned off too… LOL). The pilot also schooled his team that the balloon will be moving depending on wind direction and will be traveling over the region to as far as 20 km. 'I will also try to get this balloon to as high as 1000 metres if the wind behaves calmly,' he adds to our amusement (or not?).
Then, we were ready for take off – to the thrill of a lifetime experience.
Other balloons as seen from a distance have also started taking off.
And the fun begins at 50 metres above ground with this selfie shot by the basket occupants.
The thrill of taking in – at every meter of ascent as we follow the wind – the spectacular views of the 'otherworldly' beauty of the valleys, and the charming hills, the impressive rock formations from volcanic eruptions of some 2 million years ago. (A trivia shared to me by the Manager at the hotel where we stayed in Goreme – Sultan Cave Suites)
Then there it was I closed my eyes for a second and breathed deeply as I took in this whole overwhelming experience. Drifting through the valleys, caves, the 'fairy chimneys', and the ravines and ascending through to 1000 meters plus the awe-inspiring view of all the other balloons in flight – the entire experience- was all just too much for everyone in the flight to take.
After an hour and about twenty minutes of hovering in the sky our balloon finally touched down on Cappadocia ground lightly and without the need for going into the requisite landing position. Thanks to the calm wind and the able hands of the charmingly funny pilot.
A celebratory table was waiting for our posse on the ground alongside our welcoming crew who helped us alight from the gondola. As we have all literally jumped out of the basket the crew started to deflate the balloon and we proceeded with the obligatory champagne toast. We all had a glass (or two.. in my case three glasses) of Anatolian champagne and shared in the cakes and strawberries served by the balloon company. Yes the toast is traditional. We had to celebrate the fact that we all came back to ground in one piece! And of course to toast for everyone for having completed a successful first flight too!
While enjoying their drinks, everyone had the chance to socialize and get to know the people in the flight. The group included some Americans, Australians, Koreans, British, Filipino, Chinese, and Kiwi. Soon after the pilot started his congratulatory and thank you speech and proceeded to handing out the well-deserved flight certificates to all fourteen flyers.
And the rest of the day that started in a magical fashion carried on as the balloon flight guests were all shuttled back into their respective hotels.
Following are some more snaps from the hot air balloon experience – something we can now categorically consider as one of the most wonderful things that can ever happen in one's journey through life. We share with you these breathtaking views from 1 t0 1000 metres above ground and hope you become as enthralled as we were about this beauty that is the spanning Cappadocia landscape.
Tip: Be sure to take a good camera with you. The view of the balloons during the golden hour is priceless and you do not want to miss capturing that.

Mr Thain, the former chairman and chief executive of Merrill, negotiated the takeover by BoA but is now to leave his new post as head of BoA's global banking, securities and wealth management arm immediately.
His resignation comes just a week after BoA was forced to take $20bn of extra government investment to absorb Merrill's losses, which totalled $15.31bn in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Those losses, plus BoA's own losses of $2.39bn, led to questions being asked as to why BoA went ahead with the Merrill deal — which shareholders only approved in December — if it knew of the problems at Merrill.
BoA chairman Ken Lewis last week attempted to defend his actions, saying that he and the board were told by US government officials of the need to push ahead with the acquisition or risk systemic failure.
In return, the US Treasury, Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation last week came to the rescue, agreeing the fresh $20bn injection — which comes on top of a $25bn injection in October — and a back-stop guaranteeing losses on $118bn of Merrill's most toxic assets.
But in the wake of last week's losses, BoA's credibility collapsed, causing its shares to tank, losing 29pc on Tuesday alone and falling a further 12pc yesterday.
Mr Thain is the third senior Merrill executive to leave BoA since the January 1 merger, with Merrill's wealth management chief Bob McCann and investment banking chief Greg Fleming having already quit.
Business television network CNBC reported the apparently lavish tastes of
Mr Thain, who is alleged to have spent $1.22m redecorating his old office .
A Bank of America Merrill Lynch spokesman declined to comment on Mr Thain's previous expenditure.

The saddle is not grooved or have any visible burr. Is there a better string for funk and slap where I may be pulling too hard or is the bridge suspect? My friend swears it's the nickle saddle and micro grooves are wearing into the string. He has a Badass bridge and believes it would cure my breaking problem. I can go through 2-3 G strings a month changing the set monthly. Help brothers, I don't want to put a Badass on as it will leave marks in the finish from its footprint if I ever go back. It's an early 70's and probably has some value stock.

Nairobi, April 27 (IANS) Kenya's iconic long distance runner Paul Tergat is expected to assume the leadership of the country's Olympic body after the incumbent and his only rival failed to present his nomination papers at the deadline.
With the elections set for May 5, Tergat has been declared the only candidate eyeing the chairman's position for the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (Nock), an affiliate of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), reports Xinhua news agency.
Tergat will replace another legendary long distance athlete and former Olympic champion Kipchoge Keino.
"This was unexpected. I feel lost for the great fortune that has come my way. I am truly lost for words to express my feelings," Tergat said on Wednesday here.
"But it will be a great challenge to steer these great country of top athletes and sportsmen to greater heights. A challenge that I knew its magnitude when I presented my candidature for the position," he added.
However, Tergat was full of praise for the man he will replace, saying he has always acted above board, truthful and committed to helping the country's youth to do well in international competitions.
"Kipchoge has always been a statesman, a legend but more importantly he is a leader. He has done his part and now the baton will change. I will anchor the team, but it is now up to the younger leadership to take Nock to the next level," he said.
"I'd like to appreciate each federation and their heads; the people I will be working with indiscriminately. We are known worldwide as a sporting nation and it is my will to uphold and enhance this status," he added.
Keino did not present his papers and was not present when the Centre for Multiparty Democracy, which will oversee the polls on May 5, made the announcement in Nairobi.
Also unopposed are athletes representatives Hellen Obiri and Kenya Sevens legend Humphrey Kayange, who will be taking the previous post, which were occupied by world marathon champion Catherine Ndereba and Tergat.
Tergat had secured the support of key federations including Athletics Kenya, Football Kenya Federation and Kenya Rugby Union.
Change in Nock will be appreciated by IOC, who have championed for new course in the wake up of poor organization at the last Olympics in Rio by Kenya and the increase in doping cases among local athletes.
IOC sent their observers in Nairobi twice but they failed to convince the outgoing office to reform and emend its constitution to have fair play during election.
This prompted the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to freeze funding to Kenya earlier this month.

Wenger's future in the balance as Gunners bid to finally bring nine-year trophy drought to end
Arsene Wenger will lead Arsenal into the Wembley sunshine this afternoon promising that he will see his team and his fans again. Today's FA Cup final is not just the last game of the season, but the last of the contract he signed in August 2010.
For months Wenger has been insisting that he will sign a new deal, to be announced when the time is right. But with no news yet, Arsenal fans could be forgiven for wondering whether today might be something other than a coronation.
This match – against a Hull City side more than capable of throwing a spanner into the works – and the next few days and weeks will, one way or another, be a decisive period in Arsenal's modern history. Of course, Hull could win, and if they did it would be a perfect climax to two years of impressive improvement under Steve Bruce. It would be the first major trophy in the club's history, but that 110-year wait, important as it is, is not an English obsession, not like Arsenal's recent run.
This is Arsenal's first final for more than three years, their first FA Cup final since 2005 and a glaringly good chance to end their nine-year trophy drought. If they won, it would make some sense of their difficult last decade and could be – as Mikel Arteta said this week – a "great turning point" in the club's history.
Victory would cast Wenger as a heroic figure, who led the club safely through the enforced austerity of the new stadium years, emerging out of the other side with status intact and back amongst glittering silver.
Defeat, though, would be a disaster. Not only would it feel worse than any of their other recent final losses – 2006 to Barcelona, 2007 to Chelsea, even 2011 to Birmingham City – but it would dissolve much of the support Arsenal fans have for a new Wenger deal.
Even beyond any effect it might have on the Frenchman's own enthusiasm for the future – he has kept his thoughts very much to himself all season – it would be far harder to break the news to the supporters should the unthinkable happen today.
The mutinous atmosphere which seeped through during the 3-1 home defeat to Aston Villa on the opening day of the season, nine months ago, has been largely subdued ever since. Defeat today would risk releasing it again, tainting the whole summer in such a way that it is hard to see an outcome that pleases everyone.
Wenger, though, speaking to the press this week, was in no mood to comply with anyone else's narrative. For him, the last nine years have not been about the absence of trophies, but the consistent presence of Champions League football, hard-earned for 18 straight seasons.
"It has become a way to think for everybody like that," Wenger said. "If you look at the overall consistency, nobody has finished in the Champions League in England for 18 years. Nobody. But it is true that because we were used to winning every year, basically, and suddenly you don't win it becomes a way of thinking and a way of making press conferences."
For Wenger, Arsenal's record is subject to far more scrutiny than that of other teams, and betrays skewed priorities. "You could go to some other clubs: 'why did you not win the championship for 20 years?' Nobody asks them the question. It has just become the non-creative way for everybody to organise press conferences. Having said that, of course, we want to win every year but it's difficult."
Wenger did concede that something is missing, that Arsenal's consistent record was not backed up by silverware. "It matters for your fans. It matters for us. It's a concrete sign that you win. That's what we want to do. I love to win. Your fans love you to win. Your fans will be happy when you win trophies."
But when it came to the psychological importance of a win, and how that might launch Arsenal into a more successful future, Wenger was not particularly keen to reflect too much. "I don't know," he said when asked about such a boost. "The last thing in my mind is all that. It is the next game. I want to win the next game. It's an FA Cup final. I want to win the FA Cup final."
Wenger could certainly be forgiven for trying not to paint the final as a mental test for his team. The history of the last nine years is not only about diminished performance but the inability to close anything out or see anything through. They have lost their last three finals, and another three semi-finals, as well as fading in title challenges, this season, in 2010-11 and 2007-08.
Among all those painful moments, their last final, for the League Cup in 2011, was probably the worst. Arsenal were playing Birmingham City – who were subsequently relegated – but lost the game with a terrible last-minute defensive error. It sent the team into a negative spiral – they lost Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri that summer, and were beaten 8-2 at Old Trafford at the start of the following season – which took them almost 12 months to recover from.
Had Arsenal won, they would surely have gone on to do far better since. Wenger, unsurprisingly, was in no mood to dwell on those memories or to draw comparisons. "I don't reflect at all, it was a different game," he said.
It was a very different Arsenal side – including Patrick Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Kolo Touré, Jens Lehmann and Ashely Cole – which won their last Cup final, on penalties against Manchester United in 2005. Wenger described that win as "ugly" and "lucky" but that is nothing to be ashamed of; none of his sides has been able to win like that since.
Three years before that – remember that Arsenal won three FA Cups in four years just a decade ago – Wenger dropped Richard Wright for the final against Chelsea, having played him in all the previous rounds. Lukasz Fabianski could suffer the same fate today, but Wenger says you need to be ruthless.
David Seaman played instead, and Arsenal triumphed 2-0 thanks to goals from Freddie Ljungberg and Ray Parlour. Arsenal won the Double that season, the Cup the year after and were invincible the year after that, as Wenger's great sides collected trophies almost at will. Arsenal have travelled very far since then, but not in the right direction.
Today's game should suggest whether they have remembered how to win, and what path they will take next. (© Independent News Service)

So remember last week when I threw the dvr out the window? Well, we have kissed and made up....I'm back in love.
When you have to be awake to catch puke every ten minutes for four hours in the wee hours of the morning (times two out of three girls = two nights in a row!), the dvr is my best friend.
No infomercial watching here.
I caught up on Dancing with the Stars. I'm so sad that Jenny didn't make it to the finals, but LOVE that Helio won. How cute is he?!?
Then I caught up on ER, Survivor, and Friday Night Lights too.
Mara and I were watching Kid Nation last night in between the puke catching, and I think I have a future reality tv addict on my hands...guess she gets that honestly though.
Ok, I'd better get back to the fourteen loads of puke infested laundry waiting on me!

Ooh! I can relate! I only had to catch the puke from one sick little girl, so I guess there is a blessing in that.

The millennials may be the largest generation right now, but there are still plenty of baby boomers in the workplace. Boomers have just started to reach retirement age, after all. More and more and more will follow.
We don't want to talk about retirement, though. We want to talk about aging. And we want to throw in a reference here and there to the great recession and the financial crisis. Here goes.
For the most part, we can all expect that our vision will get worse as we age. The decline goes beyond reaching for the readers every time you pick up the TV guide. Night vision deteriorates over time, for example. That's one reason a number of states -- notably, New York is not among them -- require older drivers to have more frequent vision tests.
Motor coordination also declines. Thinking about driving again, you may notice older people's reaction times are slower. They may know what to do, but the information takes longer to travel from brain to brake foot. How many stories have you heard about older drivers mistaking the gas pedal for the brake? They may realize their mistake right away, but can't move quickly enough to avoid hitting the parking barrier or plowing into the car ahead of them.
There is also a chance, of course, that they have no idea what they forget, even for a moment, where the brake pedal is. Cognitive function declines as we age, too, and you don't have to have dementia or Alzheimer's disease to suffer the occasional "senior moment." The normal aging process can mean that you have trouble following a conversation, or you can't remember how to do something that you have done every day of your adult life. You look all over the house for your keys before you realize they're in your hand.
What does any of this have to do with workers' compensation? We'll explain in our next post.

Story by Tom Snider
BYU-Idaho's Student Representative Council works for the student body. According to BYU-I, the council represents students by actively participating in more than 20 university administrative councils. However, a lot of students do not know what they do.
Andrew Smith, a sophomore studying biochemistry, is currently serving as the director of the student representative council.
"Essentially, what we do is sit on administrative councils," Smith said. "We work with administration. We will have one council member assigned to a few different ones. Throughout the week, we are going there and talking to them and making sure they are considering the students view points through out these meetings."
To be a council member, students are interviewed by the school. The students sit on councils to voice the opinion of the student body. Some students question if this model fairly represents the student body.
"If its just something that just goes on behind closed doors, then people don't know who is really representing them," said Braxton Bennett a sophmore studying computer information technology.
The SRC collects information through surveys, focus groups and even knocking on doors to get students involved. To be on the council, you have to volunteer.
"I have found that doing it this way with the interview process, with the student representative approach versus the student body approach, it does attract a different kind of people," Smith said. "You find people who are here to serve and less of people trying to find something to just put on their resume, and you are finding people who really just want to help the student body."
The SRC embodies disciple leadership, which is something BYU-Idaho strives for in every student.
"They are good people; they care about the students," Smith said. "When they go around campus and talk to students to get them out to stuff, it's because they love them. They want to help their experience become better. That is their primary motivator."
If you are interested in getting involved with the Student Representative Council, there is a meeting every second Thursday at 6 p.m. in the Manwaring Center 358.

The video, which can be viewed in its entirety below, mocks many of Trump's insecurities while poking fun at the president in a variety of clever ways.
Fox then pulls out a piece of chocolate cake in an effort to "make it easier for the bees living in [Trump's] brain."
While the video is mostly humorous in nature, there was a main theme throughout it and that was to convince Trump to include all Americans in his decision making and forget about helping the millionaires an billionaires in favor of the poor, less well off individuals.
Fox concludes his video by stating, "And if at the end of the four years you walk into Mar-a-Lago and the entire place erupts into boos, there is a chance that you have been a good president; maybe even a great one. But if you walk in and the millionaires and the billionaires greet you with cheers, then you have failed your country, your name is mud and history will grind you beneath her heels.

SPRING HILL, Tenn. (AP) – General Motors is investing $47 million into two plants in Tennessee and Michigan.
In Tennessee, the automaker says it will spend $27 million to prepare its Spring Hill plant to assemble a right-hand drive SUV that will be exported to Australia as the Holden Acadia.
About 4,000 people work at the plant located about 35 miles south of Nashville that makes the Cadillac XT5 and GMC Acadia crossovers.
The company is spending $20 million on machining operations for future engine programs at its Bay City, Michigan, powertrain facility that makes components used in in Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. About 380 people work at the facility.
The spending at the two plants is part of a $1 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing that GM announced in January.

Yamaha SR400 35th Anniversary Edition : Yamaha celebrates 35th anniversary of the SR series with a special Limited Edition Yamaha SR400 that will be available in the Japanese market.
This is the Yamaha SR400 35th Anniversary Edition, a version of the SR400 ( Yamaha SR400 35th Anniversary Edition features an exclusive color 'Leaf Green Metallic' with white stripes, two-tone seat brown, logos celebration dedicated and - in a gesture least 'unusual' - a lower price than the model basis. The first incarnation of the SR since 1978, when it was introduced to the market SR500 (which was then presented as a more road-oriented use of the legendary XT500, launched just three years earlier), but at that time the ) model received a great success due to the advent of fractional motors, which made it look immediately 'dated' his single cylinder 499 cc. Initially marketed in several markets, the SR in recent years has been offered almost exclusively in Japan only as Yamaha SR400 , with a shorter stroke so you can take advantage of the laws of the country of the Rising Sun that require a certain license for motorcycles up to 400 cc displacement. The Yamaha SR400 was produced until 2008 and then reintroduced in 2010 with a fuel injection system in place of the 'old' carburetor. Auto-By magazine in Japan has tested the new fuel-injected Yamaha SR400 for MCN – revealing it has lost none of its charm. To clean the Yamaha SR400 's emission for 2010 up Yamaha has replaced the carburetor with a fuel injection. It's not a simple job though – a new exhaust with a catalyser and lambda sensor is also new (it's slightly bigger than before), and a fuel pump is required to pressurize the injector. This created a problem – a bulky pump would affect the tank shape, so to get around it the fuel tank feeds fuel in to a small sub-tank under the left side panel (which is 10mm wider to cover it) containing the pump. An air-injection system is the final change to clean the exhaust gases up.Riding the Yamaha SR400 reveals that it's much the same as before – the chassis might be 30 years old but at 174 kg with a low, narrow seat and wide bars, it handles well. You can't rush it – smooth corner entry and throttle opening to gently load the suspension is the key to preventing wobbles, but while it isn't nimble it's good fun to thread through a series of corners.Peak torque is slightly lower, but the torque curve is fatter and more linear through the rest of the rev range, so it accelerates quicker with better throttle response, especially from 4000-5000 rpm. The clutch has a lighter spring too, which makes life easier.
Sadly,Yamaha SR400 will only sold in Japan.
