Today's recipe will not make everyone's mouth water. You will need to be a lover of chicken livers and gizzards and I am.
I have chicken livers and gizzards in my freeze that I just took down to thaw so I can make dirty rice. I'm making a traditional dirty rice with ground chicken liver, gizzards or giblets. The name comes from the dark color of the dish which comes from the browning the meats. It is an old soul food that warms the soul. It is inexpensive and if you add some greens or a green salad, you have a complete meal at very little cost. The livers and gizzards cost about $1.60 total. You can't beat that. Plus I know I'll get a lot of meals out of it.
Dirty Rice
¼ pound chicken gizzards
½ pound chicken livers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups uncooked long white rice
4 cups chicken broth
Salt to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Green onions (optional)
Prep: Rinse, trim and clean gizzards and livers. Finely chop the onion and cloves of garlic.
Pulse gizzards in food processor, then pulse livers or you can chop them finely by hand.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Sauté onion and gizzards over medium heat, stirring constantly, until meat begins to brown (about 5 minutes). Add livers and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until brown (about 3 minutes).
Add rice and stir until coated with oil. Add broth, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook about 20 minutes, until rice has absorbed all of the liquid. Sprinkle with green onion and serve.
Variation - You don't like chicken livers and gizzards, then try link sausage or hamburger. My family fights over the gizzard from a bird. I love them and buy them often because they are such an extremely inexpensive piece of protein (love to make a noodle soup with the gizzards too). If you use another protein like sausage, your rice will still be "dirty" because the meat colors it.
You may also use wild rice or brown rice if you like.
I bought just one Cornish game hen for me and am going of use dirty rice to stuff it. I'll rub it with olive oil, salt and pepper it and will rub it with a rub mixture of garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Close it up with some tooth picks. Bake the hen for about 1 ½ to 2 hours at 350.
I haven't had Cornish hen for some time. I'm really looking forward to it along with the dirty rice. As Phil Robinson (Duck Dynasty fame) would say....happy, happy. I feel my soul warming just thinking about it.
Be happy and may God bless you and yours.

As the latest LG flagship phone, the G4 should have an interesting set of features, which is why LG apply some excellent feature on this smartphone, including the Multi Window feature. With this feature we can view two active apps in a single screen, next to each other, so we can reply to email while watching video on YouTube.
This feature is quite helpful, considering the LG G4 screen size is quite wide, so it's good to be seen even though the screen is split. Unfortunately, LG only allows some apps just to be able to run in Multi Window, such as email, messaging, Google Maps, Chrome, Gallery, Memo and some other apps.
Luckily, there's an app that allows more apps to run in LG G4 Multi Window mode, the app called MultiWindow Mod. Actually, it's not a new application, as it has been available about a year ago, and it confirmed working on various mainstream LG devices: LG G3, G Flex 2, G Vista, G Stylo, etc. With this application, we can use every unsupported app on Multi Window mode, such as the apps we've downloaded from Google Play Store, Amazon App Store or the other.
It's simple enough to put into action, you just need to install the MultiWindow Mod provided by the dev (XabdullahX) on Xda forums. The app is also available in the Play Store, but it's a donate version of the app, priced only a buck, it's worth the money.
Here's an overview on how to work with it:
- Make sure your LG G4 has root access, it's possible to gain root on this phone nowadays.
- Get the MultiWindow Mod app for free or buy the donate version.
- Once installed, open it and grant superuser permission.
- Choose the app you wish to run under Multi Window mode.
- When done picking the desired apps, just tap the Apply button.
- Reboot the device, now the newly added apps will show up on the list.

LE550 Discrete Loop Control [Video]
LE550 Discrete Loop Control
2 mins
23 secs
This tutorial video is meant as a reference tool only. It was created as a guide to help you through the general steps involved during the installation process. It is important that you read and follow the written installation instructions included with the product and manual found online at BannerEngineering.com.2 mins 23 secs
This video tutorial will demonstrate how to change the sensor's discrete output mode and use the mid point teach to set up the discrete output's limits.
When first powered on the LE begins in run mode, displaying the pressent distance and analog measurement.
Click the enter button to access the sensor menu.
The first option within the sensor menu is the analog output submenu.
Click down to the discrete output option and click enter to view the discrete output submenu.
First is two point static teach.
Click down to cycle through the other options until getting to Mode.
Click enter to access the mode options.
The default discrete output setting is a normally closed window from 100 mm to 1000 mm.
The window can be changed to normally open so the output is on if the target is not present or outside the taught window.
In this example, the window will remain normally closed so the output is on when a target is located between the two switchpoints.
Click up to cycle back to the Teach mid option and click enter.
First set the size of the window.
Click enter to edit the window size.
Holding up will increase the window size and click enter to co nfirm your change.
Next, click down to TchMdPt and press enter.
After a successful teach, the sensor will flash the value taught as the middle of the window.
In this case a 300 mm window was taught about 250 mm, so the discrete output is from 100 mm to 400 mm.
Holding back will return to the run screen.
As the tension increases or decreases and the loop leaves the taught discrete window, the output will turn off.
The sensor's LEDs or this K50 light provide easy visual indication to the operator that the target is out of the taught range.

LE Series 1 m Range Laser Displacement Sensor

They are all governed by a mathematical order and not according to whims and fancies. They follow the laws of nature. Art and Architecture are spiritual not religious or Sectarian. Indian Poetry , Music, dance, sculpture and architecture are in exceptional group of sciences based on the science of 'Energy, and Matter' and ' Time and Space'. Vastu science has gone beyond the frontiers of material sciences. The uniqueness of Indian or Eastern science lives hidden particularly in the concept of Time and Space, spaces and spatial forms. The Concept of spirit and Spiritual experience of bliss and peace , material prosperity and Physical welfare are interpreted scientifically by none so far. The mathematical base is yet to revealed. None is aware of this, not even inferred. Superficial Knowledge and scholarly criticisms are pointed out and misconceptions eschewed from the mind of the society.

text: Howdy people, I'm Cody. I'm male, I'm 25, and I'm pretty sure that's all of the obligatory information that no one cares about. Well.... maybe not. I started role playing back in 2004, took a small break from 09 to 2010, and have been back in full force ever sense. I currently role play on a handful of forums, which lead me to why I joined this one. I'm on a quest you see. An adventure of sorts. I am going from forum to forum and sampling how people handle competitive combat situations. My ultimately goal is to see the minute differences for each site and how they handle combat. I would like to eventually take all of the good and all of the bad and merge it together to make something delightful. Of course that isn't the sole reason for my visit. I am also here to enrich my life by meeting new people. My travels have allowed me to befriend so many amazing writers, people who have challenged my paradigms and forced me to grow as a person. So ya, there is that too. I'm not sure how long I will stay with Iwaku, there are so many forums to explore, however I do promise to contribute what I can to the role playing community while I am here. Experiences are what life is all about, I plan on having as many as possible.

This is one of those books that you should just pick up and dive into. I only read one review by B&B, before I jumped into this book myself. Like her review, I'm not going to go into any plot points or spoilers here, it's just my thoughts on the book that you will read.
With that said, Vic is an awesome character. She is interesting, flawed, and realistic. She drives the book.
My second favorite character is Charlie Manx, who is one creepy dude. I think I will have nightmares about him for a while.
This book is long, but very fast paced. It kept me up flipping pages, reading late at night, trying to figure out where the story might go next.
The ending was good as well and wrapped up in some ways that were both expected and unexpected at the same time.
I personally haven't read a horror/suspense novel in a long time, but I'm really glad I picked this one up and gave it a whirl. I will be keeping an eye on Joe Hill and look forward to reading more from him in the future.

Bioethical concepts in theory and practice: an exploratory study of prenatal screening in Iceland.
Gottfreðsdóttir, Helga
Vilhjálmur Árnason, 1953-
Bibliographic Citation
Medicine, health care, and philosophy 2011 Feb; 14(1): 53-61
A hallmark of good antenatal care is to respect prospective parent's choices and provide information in a way that encourages their autonomy and informed decision making. In this paper, we analyse the meaning of autonomous and informed decision making from the theoretical perspective and attempt to show how those concepts are described among prospective parents in early pregnancy and in the public media in a society where NT screening is almost a norm. We use interviews with Icelandic prospective parents in early pregnancy (N = 40) and material covering the discourse around prenatal screening in the media over 5 years period. Our analysis indicates that both prospective parents and the public media include ethical terms in their rhetoric around prenatal screening although those concepts differ in their expression. We conclude that the context in which these decisions are taken does not encourage moral reflection. Prospective parents describe that there is a lack of dialogue with professionals when decisions are made about screening. With routine offer of screening the conceptualization of bioethical concepts finds its own way through a mainstream discourse which has limited connections to the theoretical notions. This has been neglected in the implementation of screening, as limited effort has been subject to audit with reference to explore how the offer of screening and informed choice is experienced among prospective parents.

Cross-country scooters, Buttes-La Robella
"It starts gently with a ride in a chair lift, giving us a chance to admire the Val-de-Travers landscape. At the top, we're given a scooter with fantastic suspension and disk brakes, nothing to make excuses about, and we're off.

I did not spend the morning helping my friend pack to move to the Dominican Republic. My children did not come with me...how helpful would I be with 4 kids in tow?? They did not swim next door in the heated pool while I helped. They did not get bored of swimming after a short while. Good thing they came right over and were worker bees...yeah, not so much...but they did do some work stacking up the garage sale boxes:
I did not travel to St. Petersburg to pick up my mom and sister at the airport today!! We did not get stuck in traffic, taking 20 minutes to go 2 miles because a trailer did not come unhooked from the truck pulling it and end up flipping upside down across 2 lanes of traffic on I-75. I did not get stressed about being late to the airport...especially since I had been there so many times and did not have to navigate there myself holding the directions on the steering wheel because I didn't trust anyone to read them to me. We did not drive over a beautiful bridge, and I certainly did not snap ANY pictures while I was driving...but if I did, here is what they would have looked like:
We did not pull up to the airport terminal mere moments after they landed and collected their bags in spite of the traffic jam! You can see, they were not happy to see us!
We did not rock out in the van to Catchafire (Whoopsi Daisy) while the kids were all sleeping.
We did not realize that we do not have "Twas the Night Before Christmas" committed to memory. We did not resolve to google it when we got to the house. JoDee and I did not laugh hysterically after Mom agreed that was a good idea when I whispered to her "As if she knows what that is!" We did not promptly forget to google it when we got to the house...
I did not discover yesterday that the hydrocortisone cream I have been using for some time expired June of 1996. Wow, I bet unexpired stuff would really help itching from bug bites (I am NOT a bug magnet)!
Okay, I just couldn't let a Monday get away from me, but I promise I will do better next week, what have you not been up to lately??

Here comes our very own clone, MyPal:
Not exactly an identical clone. Obvious thing missing is the application platform, which is mainly the success criteria of Facebook. I am not sure what is Lelong's intention on launching this recently (July '08), without any sort of interactivity between this clone and its famous online auction site.

Ever since World's Greatest Dad (2009), director and writer Bobcat Goldthwait had no trouble convincing me to throw all the money I have at him. A challenge came into clarity for Mr. Goldthwait. World's Greatest Dad became one of my all-time favorite black comedies. Could he top it?
God Bless America is a different kind of film. That makes it a good film. This film has no fear in getting the truth across. Definitely, it has no fear. Otherwise, a baby wouldn't have been shot leaving an explosion of blood... Within the first twenty minutes.
That said scene being completely shocking and morally wrong, I still managed to laugh uproariously. I knew I was in for a real dark treat.
In God Bless America, the story follows Frank (played by Joel Murray, known for his role as Freddy Rumsen in Mad Men), a middle-aged man met with a great deal of depression. He can't escape that depression. He tries to hide from it by watching television, but that doesn't let him break free from the state.
Now contemplating suicide, Frank realizes something. He has a gun. Why off himself when there are horrible people out there who are more deserving of that bullet? Frank's first target is a brat from the movie's hilariously depressing (depressing as in 100% accurate) spoof of My Super Sweet 16.
After the deed had been done, Frank is followed by a teenage girl, Roxane (played by Tara Lynne Barrr), who finds Frank's action to be completely fucking awesome.
Eventually, Frank and Roxy get together, teaming up to provide one hell of a killing spree.
Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr lay some excellent performances upon the table. Extremely compelling; you can feel the rage in their heart.
I'd even say that Joel Murray's performance is worthy of an Academy Award. I know it's early in the year, but given the Academy Awards' track record... This opinion is not too crazy. The sad truth is that this movie will not get any recognition from the old white men in charge of the Oscars.
Tara Lynne Barr is also particularly great. Her character is feisty and eager, Tara portrays it very well.
The acting compliments Bobcat Goldthwait's brilliant writing. More than a few laugh-out-loud moments are evident in this film. I found myself on the brink of tears with laughter. Such great pacing. The movie's not only funny because it's well-written, but also because it's so damn true. Kids whining about getting a BlackBerry for their birthday instead of an iPhone. That scene was handled so well.
It may seem like God Bless America's message is too direct. People have to realize that this movie doesn't need to be subtle. Right from the start, you know that. This is a violent film calling for kindness. That may sound ridiculous and impossible, but God Bless America proves that it is in fact possible. Definitely provoked some emotion out of me, reflecting on the state of our society.
Amongst all that substance, the visual look of the movie is downright gorgeous. The cinematography is flavorful. I had no idea who Bradley Stonesifer was, but now I have my eye on his future endeavors.
God Bless America is a dark movie. You can't really overlook that. I suggest it to every American who is mature enough to sit through an hour of bloodshed coupled with hilarity.
Out now via Video On Demand and in theatres starting May 11th.

Pulling the trigger is the hardest thing a founder has to do – or is it?
Somebody in your organisation is not pulling their weight. They regularly turn up late for meetings, spend most of their time studying their Facebook feed, and when challenged, say they are doing some research on behalf of the company.
At every staff function they are drinking too much and dragging interns to after-hours parties. They don't seem to have a life-plan, or at least not one that you can understand – it's like they are waiting for the company to change to suit them, and not the other way around.
Let's cut to the chase – it's time to let them go.
Now the funny thing is, when it's time to let somebody like this go, founders are expected to feel guilty, do some soul searching, reassure the soon to be ex-staff member that everything will be ok, it's not them, it's you, there will be a thorough HR review into what happened.
When in fact, it's obvious to everyone to that this person needs to grow up, and get with the programme. Somewhere a long way away from your office.
Now don't get us wrong here, there are probably a thousand reason why it didn't work out, and someone who fails in one role may well go on to excel in another. But that only underlines the point. Why should you then feel guilty about letting them go?
Maybe they have financial concerns, and you are putting them in a difficult position, maybe you did not give them sufficient prior warning.
The answer here is to revisit your HR policies and make sure you are making it glaringly obvious when errant employees are pushing it too far.
Not let's examine how you can get the job of firing somebody done with the minimum of fuss, whilst still showing that you care about the person, and that you wish them all the best.
Even if you hope they step in a large puddle on the way home after you give them "the rest of the day off" and then some – before realising they are clean out of marmite.
Remember when your mother told you not to play with your food. Well, don't toy with your victim, either; don't ask them if they "know why they're here", don't start reeling off a list of crimes they have perpetrated, or times when they drove you up the wall. It's too late for that, and these issues should already have been addressed.
Be firm – Open up by informing them what is going to happen and managing their expectations – I'm sorry to tell you we have made a decision, this is what's going to happen, you'll have 20 minutes to clear out your stuff and say goodbye, then you really must go.
Then ask them if there's anything they wish to discuss before you close the meeting. Now be very careful at this juncture, because you do not want to encourage them to think you want to have a debate about what's been decided.
They might see this as an opportunity, an invitation even, to try to launch a counter offensive. You do not want this. So, when you ask the question, don't say "is there anything you'd like to discuss", say "is there anything you'd like to know". Its firmer.
Finally, on this occasion, be their friend – adopt the attitude, hey, we've all been there before, it's just one of those things we have to go through in life – share an anecdote if you like – just not the one about how you once went straight to the pub after a bad day and sank 12 straight double vodkas.
You're nearly there, now, and a bit of impatience here can get you over the line. Start to get restless – they might believe you have a huge job on finding their replacement. Maybe you do.
Now, some of the above may sound a little cold, but hiring and firing in the startup world is a fluid business, and it happens a lot. Stay positive – whatever you think of the staff member you are letting go, you have to believe they can thrive in a different work environment – it would be arrogant of you to think they won't be able to work well for another boss.
Done right, the firing process can be a cleansing, healthy experience. Get it wrong, and, well, just don't get it wrong ; )

Yesterday there was a news report that FM Mukherji snubbed her on some projects included in the Railway budget. He said she should not prepare the railway budget keeping the assembly election in W.Bengal in mind. He told her that she may have to find her own resources for any new railway project. RM was said to have been found with tears in her eyes.
But I just wanted to remind her about some project discussed in public during the period of the previous rly. minister. All the railway platforms in India are covered by asbestos sheets for the past so many decades. Now asbestos is supposed to be carcinogenic and its continuance in the present position may expose the passengers to greater health risks. To remove them and replace with some other roofing material may not be easily done because of the cost factors. Why not sell the space above the platforms of selected railway stations for the construction of commercial areas so that money earned can be used for developmental activity of the railways. Railway stations are all in the central part of the cities and their commercial value is indisputable. This can be tried in selected cities with selected stations and judging from the general response expanding this scheme to other important stations can be thought of. Multistoried buildings erected above the platforms would certainly attract lot of commercial activity. These buildings may be used as hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, rest houses, etc. with separate entrance to the road. Just imagine such building coming up in Churchgate station, Marine lines, Grant road, Dadar, Bhandra, Andheri. Railway may choose to lease out the space and take annual rent from the lessees. Similarly in Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, will generate pulsating commercial activity around the stations enhancing their commercial value many fold. In Chennai all the platforms may be engulfed in a single massive building with separate entrance to the main road. One floor can be earmarked as car park for the convenience of the residents. Railways would enough money for their future development. Madam Mamta with all the reputation she enjoys for clean life can create magic in railways not like the one her predecessor claimed to have done.
If any of my readers offer their comments the efficacy of this project may be further studied or dropped.

Hi Pete, Martin is going to make a sub. you may want to wait and see how that one sounds. I don't know any details on it though. Sorry.
Beating a Dead Horse. SUBS
Vandersteen, Rel or whatever. Has anyone actually ever a/b the 2 subs side by side. Not talking the vandy 2w which has a 12in passive. I'm talking about the vandy 2wq which only has 3 8inch subs and also the rel storm III with the 10in.. I don't care about ht sound, just music. Must be quick/fast, accurate, detailed, not muddy or still vibrating after the fact. I do have Martin speakers and would be adding 2 subs for music. I've listened to the rel storm III @ tweeter and it sucked, but I know for a fact they did not have it hooked up correctly. Though the salesman mentioned all the great features, he had no idea how to use them; neither did I. I'm sure set up properly it would be great. But I have to think 3-8in subs must be quicker than a 10in sub, but I could be wrong. If you have auditioned these side by side I would like to know what the differences are(also did you notice if they were hooked up correctly and broken in). This thread came after reading the recent thread on vandy verses rel.. I noticed one agoner upgrade from the 2w to the 2wq and after reading extensively on the vandy subs, I can see why; he wanted music over ht. Another agoner had both the rel storm III and the q201, he stated he used the storm III for ht and the q201 for music. Why would you not use the III for music???, as it is suppose to be better than the q201. Another agoner mentioned the bag end sub as beating the both the rel and vandy in music, I don't know much about bag but isn't that an 18in sub and how could a 18 be more musical than a 10 or 8in sub. Excuse my ignorance but I do not know much about subs and everything I thought I learned about them is the smaller the sub, the more musical it would be. Sorry to continue the thread on subs, but no one ever mentions if they auditioned the 2 side/side, they just say that the rel, aerial, vandy, etc.... is the best they ever heard. Looking for help here..
Thanx Pete
Thanx Pete

Veterans deserve more support
To the editor:
Bush supporters say, "Support our troops." I certainly agree, but the soldier can be supported without supporting the war. And lack of benefits for every veteran certainly does not embody "Support our troops."
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, 28 million veterans are currently using VA benefits, while another 70 million are potential candidates. As soldiers return from Iraq, these numbers rise. Estimates of the fiscal 2005 budget shortfalls vary, but Veterans of Foreign Wars commander-in-chief Edward S. Banas Sr. says it's $2.6 billion dollars short to fully meet needs. In Missouri alone, $92.5 million more than proposed is necessary to meet current health-care needs. Lack of funding will prevent many soldiers from receiving their disability pensions. Currently, 500,000 cases are pending, and just as many still remain unprocessed.
Homelessness is also of great concern. The VA estimates 299,000 veterans are homeless on any given night, and 500,000 experience it once within a given year. The VA also estimates that one in three persons seen sleeping in doorways and alleys is a veteran. I'll think about that the next time I see someone under the I-55 underpass.
One might try to counter this argument by suggesting that the recent increase in the 2006 budget will satisfy these urgencies, but even the VA says this will serve only the neediest within the system. Every soldier who puts his life on the line deserves these basic benefits from the Bush administration.

Beebe and Ike (and I) have a consultation with Dr. Sodhi, at the Animal Wellness Center http://www.holistic-pet-care.com/ This will be my first experience consulting with a Holistic Vet, so I'm fairly excited.
I spoke at length with the receptionist just to make sure our goals jived. They seem knowledgeable, friendly and on board with raw feeding and the use of alternative medicines for total body health. They also mentioned vaccine titers when I asked about shots. I am specifically seeking some assistance with formulating a good diet for the dogs using fresh real food instead of kibble.
For Beebe, I want to learn how to better manage her immune disorder and keep her at a good working weight. I also want to establish a good relationship with a vet having knowledge of sports medicine, rehab and acupuncture/pressure as she will be working more in Agility/Flyball and I worry about any potential injuries she might sustain. For Ike, I am mostly seeking general raw vs cooked diet counseling and which would be best for him and his gentle tummy. The consult promises to be interesting no doubt.

Court of Appeals of Indiana
May 15, 2015
Fight Against Brownsburg Annexation, et al., Appellants-Plaintiffs,v.Town of Brownsburg, Indiana, et al., Appellees-Defendants
Page 799
Appeal from the Hendricks Superior Court. The Honorable David H. Coleman, Judge. Cause No. 32D02-1310-PL-109.
FOR APPELLANTS: Gregory W. Black, Gregory W. Black, P.C., Plainfield, Indiana.
FOR APPELLEES: David E. Wright, Kevin D. Koons, Kroger, Gardis & Regas, LLP, Indianapolis, Indiana.
Najam, Judge. Baker, J., and Friedlander, J., concur.
Page 800
Najam, Judge.
Statement of the Case
[¶1] This appeal involves the statutory process remonstrators must follow when opposing an annexation ordinance. That process begins with the filing of a remonstrance petition under Indiana Code Section 36-4-3-11(a), which requires in relevant part that the petition: (1) include the signatures of at least sixty-five percent of the landowners in the annexed territory; (2) be filed within ninety days after the ordinance is published; (3) be accompanied by a copy of the ordinance; and (4) state the reason why the annexation should not take place. Indiana Code Section 36-4-3-11(b) then requires that the trial court determine whether the remonstrance has the necessary signatures. " In determining the total number of landowners of the annexed territory and whether signers of the remonstrance are landowners, the names appearing on the tax duplicate for that territory constitute prima facie evidence of ownership." Id. If the court determines that the remonstrance is sufficient, it shall schedule a hearing on the merits of the remonstrance. I.C. § 36-4-3-11(c).
[¶2] Here, after the Town of Brownsburg (" Brownsburg" ) introduced an ordinance to annex 4,461 acres north of the town, several affected landowners formed a group called Fight Against Brownsburg Annexation (" FABA" ) and filed a remonstrance petition with the trial court. Brownsburg moved to dismiss the petition under Trial Rule 12(B)(1) and 12(B)(6), and, following a hearing, the trial court dismissed the remonstrance petition for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In this appeal, we consider whether the trial court erred both when it dismissed the petition under Trial Rule 12(B)(1) and when it concluded that FABA had failed to obtain a sufficient number of signatures in support of its remonstrance petition.
[¶3] We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
Facts and Procedural History
[¶4] On March 7, 2013, the Town Council of Brownsburg (" Town Council" ) introduced Annexation Ordinance Number 2013-06 (" the annexation ordinance" ), which proposed the annexation of 1,193 parcels located on 4,461 acres north of Brownsburg. The Town Council also adopted a fiscal plan for the annexation on that date. On April 9, FABA began gathering signatures for a remonstrance petition.[1] On May 16, the Town Council held a public hearing on the annexation plan and held additional public hearings regarding zoning issues in June. On July 11, the Town Council amended the fiscal plan and adopted[2] the annexation ordinance.
Page 801
[¶5] On October 7, FABA filed a written remonstrance and petition for declaratory judgment in the trial court. Attached to the remonstrance, FABA included the signatures of the owners of 808[3] out of the 1,193 parcels to be annexed, or approximately sixty-seven percent of the owners of land in the annexed territory. Brownsburg moved to dismiss the remonstrance for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Trial Rule 12(B)(1) and failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted under Trial Rule 12(B)(6). In particular, Brownsburg alleged that FABA had not obtained the signatures of sixty-five percent of affected landowners as required by statute. In relevant part, Brownsburg claimed that FABA was required to obtain the signatures of every co-owner of parcels owned by more than one person, which it had failed to do, and that FABA had obtained signatures prior to the adoption of the annexation ordinance, which, Brownsburg alleged, was in contravention of the statutory scheme.[4] Following a hearing, the trial court dismissed the remonstrance petition for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Trial Rule 12(B)(1). This interlocutory appeal ensued.[5]
Discussion and Decision
[¶6] The annexation of land by municipalities is governed by [Indiana Code Section] 36-4-3-1 to [Indiana Code Section] 36-4-3-22. City of Muncie v. Lowe, 705 N.E.2d 528, 530 (Ind.Ct.App. 1999), trans. denied. Generally, the annexation process formally begins when a municipality adopts an ordinance annexing territory pursuant to either [Indiana Code Section] 36-4-3-3 or [Indiana Code Section] 36-4-3-4. Id. The legislative adoption of the ordinance is followed by an opportunity for remonstrance by affected landowners and judicial review. City of Hobart v. Chidester, 596 N.E.2d 1374, 1375 (Ind. 1992). A remonstrance abates the culmination of the annexation pending a review by the courts and places upon the municipality the burden of sustaining the annexation in the courts as provided by statute. City of Indianapolis v. Wynn, 239 Ind. 567, 576, 157 N.E.2d 828, 833 (1959). At the remonstrance hearing, the burden is on the municipality to demonstrate its compliance with the annexation statutes. In re Matter of Annexation Ordinance No. X-07-91 ( Blackhawk Annexation), 645 N.E.2d 650, 652 (Ind.Ct.App. 1995), trans. denied.
Fuehrer v. Storm (In re Remonstrance Appealing Ordinance Nos. 98-004, 98-005, 98-006, 98-007 and 98-008, of Town of Lizton), 769 N.E.2d 622, 634 (Ind.Ct.App. 2002).
Standard of Review
[¶7] The standard of appellate review for Trial Rule 12(B)(1) motions to
Page 802
dismiss is a function of what occurred in the trial court. GKN Co. v. Magness, 744 N.E.2d 397, 401 (Ind. 2001). If the facts before the trial court are not in dispute, then the question of subject matter jurisdiction is purely one of law. Id. Under those circumstances no deference is afforded the trial court's conclusion because " appellate courts independently, and without the slightest deference to trial court determinations, evaluate those issues they deem to be questions of law." Id. (quoting Bader v. Johnson, 732 N.E.2d 1212, 1216 (Ind. 2000)). Thus, we review de novo a trial court's ruling on a motion to dismiss under Trial Rule 12(B)(1) where, as here, the facts before the trial court are undisputed. Id. As a general proposition, the party challenging subject matter jurisdiction carries the burden of establishing that jurisdiction does not exist. Id. at 404.
Subject Matter Jurisdiction
[¶8] Before we turn to the substantive arguments raised on appeal, we must first address the trial court's conclusion that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over FABA's remonstrance petition. The question of subject matter jurisdiction entails a determination of whether a court has jurisdiction over the general class of actions to which a particular case belongs. Troxel v. Troxel, 737 N.E.2d 745, 749 (Ind. 2000). The statute at issue in this appeal is Indiana Code Section 36-4-3-11, which provides in relevant part as follows:
(a) Except as provided in section 5.1(i) of this chapter and subsections (d) and (e), whenever territory is annexed by a municipality under this chapter, the annexation may be appealed by filing with the circuit or superior court of a county in which the annexed territory is located a written remonstrance signed by:
(1) at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the owners of land in the annexed territory; or
(2) the owners of more than seventy-five percent (75%) in assessed valuation of the land in the annexed territory.
The remonstrance must be filed within ninety (90) days after the publication of the annexation ordinance under section 7 of this chapter, must be accompanied by a copy of that ordinance, and must state the reason why the annexation should not take place.
(b) On receipt of the remonstrance, the court shall determine whether the remonstrance has the necessary signatures. . . .
(Emphasis added). Because the statute expressly provides that a party may file a remonstrance petition " with the circuit or superior court of a county in which the annexed territory is located," there is simply no question that the trial court here has subject matter jurisdiction over FABA's petition. Id. Still, this court has previously held that a Trial Rule 12(B)(1) motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is a proper vehicle to challenge a remonstrance petition under Indiana Code ...

For more than 45 years now, Elk Creek Dam has been in the news.
It made good sense to build the dam back in 1962, when Congressional appropriations paid for the dam. But it no longer made sense when separated from the Lost Creek and Applegate Dams because the cost-to-benefit-ratio was too great. That, and some salmon that according to some mysteriously appear in the stream with no place to go.
Since that time, the dam, completed at only one-third its intended
elevation, has been the source of controversy and much debate. Several
years ago, after investigating alternatives to meet the needs of
everyone involved, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers received a mandate
to create a notch in the dam to allow fish passage. The mandate has
never changed, as residents and concerned citizens found out on Oct.
Plans are to begin blasting the dam in 2008, unless something
or someone stops that action. Corps officials say they can blast the
dam without destroying the integrity of the remaining structure, though
they admitted not having done such a thing before. Some residents
complained about the use of the term notch because 50,000 yards of
roller compacted concrete amounts to major surgery.
From the
drawings, the corps intends to remove half the spillway area, and what
appears to be the entire right side of the dam. They then want to move
the water flow back to the historic channel and place a training wall
downstream of the dam. Corps spokesman George Miller said that
materials removed from the dam would be reclaimed and stockpiles of
other materials would remain on site until proper disposal measures are
Former Shady Cove Mayor Dick Bailey said destruction
of the dam would put the city in jeopardy of being flooded, citing
events in 2005 that caused damage to the city. Bailey asked if the
Corps was putting fish above people in the case of Elk Creek Dam.
Holt, former Jackson County Commissioner questioned the fish passage
issue, citing witnesses who were involved in planting fish in Elk Creek
when it had no historic runs of fish. ODFW officials claim records
going back more than one-half century show Elk Creek to be one of the
most productive salmon rearing streams in the upper Rogue area.
Resident Jack Vaughan told the corps that in 30 years of trapping on
the creek, that the only carcass he had seen was that of a bear, until
ODFW began planting carcasses with the aid of the watershed councils.
of the 50 or so in attendance at the hearing seemed to want to not only
preserve, but to actually finish, Elk Creek Dam. If the lawsuit to send
30,000 acre-feet of water from the lower end of the valley back to the
Klamath Basin becomes a reality, the picture can change rapidly. This
valley will experience a shortage, and residents say water that could
be impounded behind Elk Creek Dam would become what the Corps calls
liquid gold.
The environmental assessment calls for one of two
actions, either notching the dam or building a new trap and haul
facility. Folks wishing to make comments on those two alternatives
must address those comments to: District Engineer, USACE, Portland,
Attn: CENWP-PM-E, Box 2946, Portland, Oregon 97208-2946 by no later
than Nov. 5, 2007.

No shortcuts on the road to success
Are there any quick ways to succeed in business without spending a huge amount of money on marketing?
Geraldo Kandonga Fillipus, Geraldo Financial Solutions, Namibia
Unfortunately there's no shortcut or magic recipe to success. If there is, I haven't found it yet. Creating a successful and profitable business takes time, since you build your reputation as customers learn to trust and rely on you, one by one.
Also, there's no guarantee that spending a huge amount of money on marketing will slingshot your business forward. If you spend your time looking for shortcuts, you will find one—right out of business.
While there are no set rules for succeeding in business, over my 40 years as an entrepreneur, I have embraced some rough guidelines that can be very helpful:
1. Create a useful product or service
Above all else, you should not go into business purely for financial reasons. Running a company involves long hours and hard decisions; if you don't have a better reason than money to keep going, your business will more than likely fail, as many new businesses do.
So it's important to create something of use that is going to benefit society as a whole. If you do something you truly care about, you will be in a much better position to find customers, connect with them, and keep them coming back.
Once you have decided on the type of product or service that interests you, focus on how to do things differently from the competition: Do your research, find a gap or an area ripe for innovation, and position your business in a way that sets it apart.

WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ - BMW's 2011 335i coupe and convertible arrive this spring with a new engine, some minor cosmetic redo, new exterior colors, and other tweaks, according to the New York Times.
The new engine is the single twin-scroll turbo 6-cylinder found in the recent 740i and 535i Gran Turismo. The revised direct-injection engine is called the N55. It maintains the same 300-horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque as the engine in the outgoing models. The engine also adds BMW's Valvetronic variable intake technology, which the company claims minimizes turbo lag and boosts performance.
BMW did not announce gas mileage figures, but the company said the N55 engine "achieves a more favorable emissions signature than its predecessor," according to the Times. The current 335i coupe is rated at 17 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway.
Earlier, BMW announced the N55 engine would also go into the 135i coupe and convertible for 2011, with those models arriving this spring as well. Both 1 Series cars will have the 7-speed double-clutch transmission as an option. But the 1 Series won't get any physical changes.
The new 3 Series coupe will be available with the xDrive all-wheel-drive system, and while some new wood trims will be available for the cabin, the convertible gets the advanced option of "sun-reflective" leather, which supposedly can reduce surface temperatures on the seats by up to 36 degrees to prevent backside burns.
The 328i versions will also be refreshed, with new headlamps and taillight designs, and will keep the same 230-horsepower straight-6 from the 2010 models. They new cars will also be shipping in the spring. No pricing has been announced on any of the cars.

fawning, the unravel of a secret mystery
is stirring in tears of understanding.
The game is played with words,
colors, numbers, metaphors...
anything to veil the truth
from a mind bent on knowing.
Numbing from concoctions of
cockamamie contentions,
the woe-struck wanderer
hides in swaddling again.
The blue dawn fades to bleak-
no tears are left in the welling.
Dry toast of burnt bitter
catch the throat in stifled sob
where ears are deafened in silence.
A flash of black is painted in
the paining... a calling memory
to what it is or lack thereof,
no more mystery, just a
gaming for abandon, a part
to be played in the villain.
Rushing of pensee, throw clouds
and covers to the wind,
it's all clear while seeking a victory
of stoic cynical pretense.
I'll play along til the tire takes,
and in a spectacle of reverse
rules .... the victor is victim
in search of a canopy
uncovered by veil and abandon.

Not a fan! They called them that in Omaha too… And soda was pop, sneakers were tennis shoes!
I agree – did you used to live in Omaha? Sneakers are tennis shoes here, too. But, what if I don't play tennis while wearing them?!
I don't know… just doesn't sound right to me… I mean are you necessarily 'sucking' them? Maybe at times, but for the most part it's a licking thing… so if you are going to call them something else – why not go ahead with Lickers?!
Just dawned on me that out of context… this could be construed as a very diirrttyyy conversation! hehehe ;)
Lots of non-PG thinkers in my life. lol Lickers would make more sense, but I think in turn would end up even dirtiER than saying suckers. I think I'll just stick with lollipops. ;)
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. Thanks.. I'll be here all week.
Hi Sarah and Scott,
So, you're southerns!!!
I missed most of the winter because I had my knee surgery in January.
But, I HATE MARCH!!!!!!
Next year I am going to make sure that I go out to Tina's for the month of March at the very least.
I will be interested in all you have to say about your life in the SOUTH.
I am very happy for the two of you that you love it so much. It was quite a move from up here.
Love you both,
Aunt Rosemary
I hope you're doing well, Aunt Rosemary. We are having the time of our lives down here. But, obviously miss our family tons. LOVE YOU!
hrmmmm….too many inappropriate things that rhyme with suckers (for this to be a good word for kids to use) like…pluckers (device used to pluck), cluckers (often referred to many females talking at once), muckers (to muck in the mud?), chuckers (people who "up-chuck"), zuckers (people who follow the creator of facebook)….I could go on but you get the point.
I agree, Jenny! If adults think of nothing but inappropriate rhyming words, then the word doesn't stand a chance with kids.
