Dru Yoga Research Results.
In an article published in January 2013 in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Dru Yoga is quoted as being part of a successful 7 point plan, used by physiotherapists on Liverpool Football Club's players to reduce hamstring injuries.
Recurrent hamstring injuries are a major problem in sports such as football. The research followed a professional footballer who had sustained five hamstring injuries. Liverpool's doctors and physiotherapists successfully used a seven point programme which included Dru Yoga. The player started regular sessions of yoga-based stretching and relaxation with a qualified Dru yoga instructor. These consisted of Dru fascial warm-up techniques; intense hamstring and low back stretches; guided Dru relaxations and Dru breath training (techniques to improve lung capacity, stamina and to activate the relaxation response through the body). Sessions were undertaken for 60 min twice per week. The player soon reported subjective improvement in his hamstring freedom.
Dru Yoga is shown to be effective in the treatment and management of low back pain and stress, and is known for being a particularly safe style of yoga. Previous studies on the effectiveness of Dru Yoga for stress in the workplace and back pain, were published in the Scandinavian Journal of Work and Environmental health and the Journal of Occupational Medicine, and these were cited in this recent article.
Dru Yoga is a graceful and potent form of yoga, based on flowing movements, directed breathing and visualisation. With its foundations set firmly in ancient yogic tradition, Dru works on body, mind and spirit—improving strength and flexibility, creating core stability, building a heightened feeling of positivity, and deeply relaxing and rejuvenating your whole being.
Designed to be practised by people of all abilities, all fitness levels and all age groups, Dru is a style of yoga that can be quickly dipped into or learnt in more depth over a lifetime. Dru Yoga classes are available in the UK, Ireland, The Netherlands and across Europe, Australia and Canada. Short Dru Yoga retreats and yoga holidays in these countries are also very popular. The Dru Yoga teacher training course, which is necessary to teach this safe, therapeutic style of yoga, is available in many countries. Visit druworldwide.com for more details.

Dru Yoga reduces back pain and stress:http://occmed.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2012/09/24/occmed.kqs168.abstract
New UK research, published in September 2012 in the Journal of Occupational Medicine, shows that Dru Yoga can reduce perceived stress and back pain at work.
Stress and back pain are two key factors leading to sickness absence at work, costing the British economy an estimated Ł17 billion per year. This study by researchers at Bangor University suggests to employers that wellbeing programs that include yoga can have a significant impact not only in reducing stress, but also in preventing back pain.
More than 80 participants in the study were recruited from Conwy County Council and randomized into a yoga group who received one 50 minute Dru Yoga session each week for 8 weeks along with a 20 min DVD for home practice, while a control group who received no intervention.
Dru Yoga is one of the UK's largest schools of yoga, and includes therapeutic stretches and postures to ease back pain, flowing movements designed to relieve stress, and breathing exercises which calm the mind.
When compared with the control group, the yoga group scores were significantly lower for perceived stress, back pain, sadness and hostility, and much higher for feeling self-assured, attentive and serene.
Susan Williams, a Community Engagement Officer for Conwy County Council who participated in the yoga group, said: "I found that the Dru Yoga programme had a positive influence on my level of confidence. I felt more in control, ready, aware, dynamic, even recognizing my own power. I was happier, and it was so much easier to manage my circumstances."
The study authors concluded: "The results indicate that a workplace yoga intervention can reduce perceived stress and back pain and improve psychological wellbeing.
"Larger randomised controlled trials are needed to determine the broader efficacy of yoga for improving workplace productivity and reducing sickness absence."
The study was published on-line in September in the Journal of Occupational Medicine (Oxford University Press).

A new study shows that yoga is significantly effective for improving wellbeing and resilience to stress in the workplace. A team of researchers working at Bangor University found that a six week programme of Dru Yoga reduced anxiety and fatigue, while increasing emotional well-being and resilience to stress.
This research is very timely as latest figures from the HSE suggest that stress in the workplace costs the UK over Ł530 million per year, which equates to over 13 million 'lost' working days. Experts believe these figures will increase further as a result of the recession. Researchers conducted a randomized controlled study, (the first robust research done on yoga in the workplace) involving 48 university employees. They were either placed into a Dru Yoga programme, or wait listed, as the control group. The yoga group participated in a six week programme of Dru Yoga, which involved attending at least one weekly 60-minute class.
Results showed that the Dru Yoga group reported feeling significantly less anxious, unsure, confused, tired, and depressed than the control group who did not practice Dru Yoga.
In addition, the yoga group reported feeling more life purpose and satisfaction, and greater self-confidence during stressful situations. Study participant Eileen Price, Undergraduate Recruitment Administrator, said, ' At the end of the first session I went back to the office with a much clearer head and renewed vigour – I could think more clearly, make better decisions and work more efficiently.'
Researchers concluded that even a short program of Dru Yoga is effective for enhancing emotional well-being and resilience to stress in the workplace, and recommended that employers should consider offering yoga classes to their employees.
Dru Yoga is one of the UK's most popular forms of yoga, comprising of easy-to-learn flowing movements, simple breathing techniques and effective relaxation methods. For Dru Yoga taster workshops, holidays and teacher training, visit www.druworldwide.com

As the aged King David prepared his son Solomon to take up the throne—as servant of God and King of Israel—David had strong and wise counsel for his son.
"And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve Him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts.
If you seek Him, He will be found by you;
but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever."
1 Chronicles 28:9
David's counsel to Solomon is counsel that we, too, as children of God should embrace fully as we live out the details of our daily-day lives…and during our times of great joy and peace…and during our times of great turmoil and sadness.
God knows us full well. And our LORD wants our hearts and minds to be wholeheartedly and willingly devoted to Him—actively seeking Him—in all that we do and think. Our blessing, and God's promise to us, is that "He will be found" by us!
Our God has promised that we will find and know our LORD, His loving, intimate presence with us and His strong and holy leading of us—all the days of our lives.
Through our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, we, as children of the King of kings, have been invited "to approach the throne of grace with confidence…" –Hebrews 4:16.
Is there anything stopping you from serving and seeking the LORD—and approaching His throne of grace—with wholehearted devotion and a willing mind?
Ask the LORD to take away any and all obstacles that you have put up in your own life that stop you from serving and seeking the LORD—and approaching His throne of grace—with wholehearted devotion and a willing mind.
Ask the LORD to take away any and all obstacles of hurt, bitterness and resentment that may have grown out of experiences with other people or from disappointing and difficult circumstances.
Let nothing rule over you except the love and leadership of the LORD our God!
There is joy and freedom, peace and purpose as we serve and seek the LORD—and approach His throne of grace—with wholehearted devotion and a willing mind!
In love, peace and purposeful passion, Sylane

Week 24 efficacy and safety of TMC114/ritonavir in treatment-experienced HIV patients. AIDS. 2007 Mar;21(6):F11-8
[PubMed ID:
BACKGROUND: Agents for the treatment of HIV-1-infected patients with resistance to current antiretroviral (ART) drugs are needed. METHODS: TMC114-C202 was a randomized, partially blinded, dose-finding study in treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected patients with one or more primary protease inhibitor (PI) mutations and HIV-1 RNA > 1000 copies/ml. Patients were randomized to receive one of four TMC114 doses given with ritonavir (TMC114/r) or investigator-selected control PI drug(s) (CPI); all received an optimized background regimen. The primary intent-to-treat analysis compared the proportion of patients achieving a >or= 1 log10 copies/ml HIV-1 RNA reduction at week 24 between the treatment arms using the time-to-loss of virological response algorithm. RESULTS: For 278 patients at baseline, mean HIV-1 RNA was 4.7 log10 copies/ml, median CD4 cell count was 106 cells/mul; HIV-1 isolates had a median of three primary PI mutations and a median fold change in lopinavir susceptibility of 80. Discontinuation rates were 23% for TMC114/r versus 64% for CPI. More patients in each TMC114/r dose group achieved >or= 1.0 log10 copies/ml reduction in HIV-1 RNA than in the CPI group (45-62% versus 14%; P <or= 0.003): patients taking TMC114/r twice daily had the greatest responses. HIV-1 RNA was < 50 copies/ml in 18-39% of TMC114/r patients versus 7% CPI (P < 0.001 for highest dose). Mean CD4 cell count increased by 59-75 versus 12 cells/mul (TMC114/r versus CPI: P <or= 0.005). Overall adverse event rates were similar in both arms, without significant differences among TMC114/r groups. CONCLUSIONS: TMC114/r treatment resulted in greater virological and immunological responses in ART-experienced patients compared with CPI at 24 weeks.

|Lip Gloss
BYS means Be Yourself. by the way. Cute tagline right?
I'm such a late bloomer when it comes to makeup. I just started using lipstick in my Senior year in collage 1st semester and I was forced to wear make-up because of my OJT. I was designate in Human Resource department and the rules are to wear makeup! And that's how I learned wearing lipstick and I also getting used to applying face powder.
When I was a child I heard alot of rumors that using lipstick your lips will get darker and of course who would want to turn your pink lips into blueberry horror right? (I like my lips just fine, thak you very much!) or mistake you for using cigarettes and once I an article that lipstick contains fishscales! hahaha, Thats why I stay away from cosmetics until now. But I love watching or reading how to apply make-up it's so fascinating and I kept telling myself "someday" hahaha
Anyway onto the review
The Iced Candy is like a Lipstick from Barbie. It's a vibrant pastel color of pink, and when you have a pinkish lip it would look pale on you or it doesn't have any effect just makes your lip shine but no color.
What I like about it:
1. The lipstick side is creamy and pigmented.
2. The lipgloss has a very nice scent
3. The gloss side is creamy, smooth and non-sticky.
4. Glides easily when applied on the lips
5. Both sides can be worn on its own or worn together!
6. Lightly scented.
7. Widely available in Manila
8. Affordable price
9. 2-in-1 lip product. You get a lipstick and gloss for the price of 1!
What I don't like about it:
1. Staying power is bad (more or less 1 hr without eating)
2. I feel like the cover of the lipstick will crack and break anytime soon
3. The packing might be a turn off to some as it's long
I probably won't repurchase this product because I like Covergirl even its quiet pricey and I'm not satisfied with the staying power. But if you don't mind retouching, then this product will work for you!
Where to purchase and how much?
BYS cosmetics are available in major SM Department stores and Watson's Beauty Outlets nationwide. BYS Lip Gloss and Lipstick Duo costs Php299.00

EclipseLink Database Web Services (DBWS)
The goal of DBWS is to enable simple and efficient access to relational database artifacts via a Web Service. DBWS extends EclipseLink's core capabilities while leveraging existing components (ORM, MOXy).
EclipseLink DBWS has two parts: a design-time tooling component and a runtime provider component that takes a service descriptor (along with related deployment artifacts) and realizes it as a JAX-WS 2.0 Web Service. The runtime provider uses EclipseLink to bridge between the database and the XML SOAP Messages used by a Web Service client.
An DBWS service may be comprised of any number of operations of which there are 4 types:
- Insert - inserts into the database persistent entities described by an XML document.
- Update - updates database persistent entities described by an XML document.
- Delete - removes from the database persistent entities described by an XML document.
- Query - retrieves from the database persistent entities described by an XML document.
Selection criteria for Query operations can be specified by:
- custom SQL
- Stored Procedures
- TopLink Expressions
The XML documents used by operations conform to an XML Schema Definition .xsd document auto-generated by the design-time tooling. Alternatively, if no .xsd is available, a pre-defined simple XML format (SXF) can be used.
Who uses this feature?
Anyone who wishes to expose a database artifact as a Web Service.
Why do they use it?
EclipseLink DBWS provides a simple light-weight metadata model that requires no Java programming, yet is highly extensible.

The Chronicles of Erdon
The , also called "The Association," is the preeminent interracial trading company, and conducts or oversees all business transactions that cross racial boundaries. They also manage or "facilitate" the exchange of goods and services between members of different races in all regions where The Association holds sway.
The Association arose out of a desire to better unite the disparate peoples who each had (and still have) vastly different customs, cultures, commerce rules, and even ways of thinking. Under the advice of many wise councillors from among the Five Races (Archons, Elves, Dwarves, Barbarians, and Gnomes), in accordance with the Treaty of the Five Peoples, the Archon High King and Emperor appointed the Office of the Minister of Inter-racial Commerce to a clever and savvy gnome of many names, and the distinguished name Flihjelglirwykn, for and from which a duchy and dukedom were created, which now are the focus of The Association.
Place in the World:
Archlond is the only continent besides the main to harbour this organization's presence in any significant capacity; in fact, it's headquartered in the Archduchy of Flihjelglirwykn. The Association is met with mixed reactions no matter where it exists. Those who know little about it (e.g. unaffected shopkeepers in isolated communities) tend to care nothing about it, and often refuse to involve themselves without need. Understandably most gnomes and other beneficiaries can't say enough good about The Association, and promote (er, enforce) it whenever needed. Some merchant's find it to be a mildly annoying, outdated, and unnecessary beaurocratic burden; others consider it a "blasthering inconvenient ham fool idea of a Flihjelglirwykn Scheme!" (pardon my gnomish). In such places as GAMAT has managed to take preeminent status (i.e. Archlond), it generally has the full force of the law behind it, and contracts local Lords and law enforcement to see that their interests are protected. Violation of the relevant laws usually carry a hefty fine with them; where The Association is prevalent, one is strongly advised not to trespass the relevant laws, and if perchance one does, they had better see a barrister double-quick.
Halflings seem to be decidedly mixed on the existence of GAMAT. While most if not all of them (or at least their merchants) benefit from its existence, their typical love of freedom would tend to pit them against the notion of such an organization. Then there's that whole issue of halfling representation (or lack thereof) in the relevant treaty. If the average halfling trader had things his way, no such organization would exist; barring that, the organization would be informally run by halflings. The Treaty and subsequent establishment of GAMAT attempt in principle to afford the most neutral race with the strings; and none of the good races have ever had any serious grievances against the gnomes (the chaotic ones tend to be mildly annoying at worst, unless they're evil, but that's a different story).
The halflings might have been chosen, but for the question of conflicts of interest; and dwarves and elves were equally uneasy with the prospect of the other getting it. Humans were deemed too short lived and prone to corruption to be trusted, and the half-races have never really been trusted enough by anybody. In fact, the gnomes generally didn't seem to want the job, but for the one here named and a few who followed him, who only took it up begrudgingly, on account of there being no one else agreeable to accept the mantle.
Office of the Chief Magistrate of the Gnomish Association of Merchants, Adventurers, and Traders:
- First office holder: His Imperial Highness, the Lord Archduke Rumplestiltzkin Flihjelglirwykn (of Flihjelglirwykn).
- Headquarters: the Archduchy of Flihjelglirwykn, which was created from the Treaty of the Five Peoples in Archlond.
The office is responsible for licensing merchants who wish to deal between the races, where The Association holds jurisdiction (which is most places); and often grants such licenses to local merchants, and even craftsmen who are likely to conduct significant levels of interracial business. The Association usually doesn't bother with homogeneous or nearly-homogeneous communities however, unless a lone merchant wants to set up shop in a foreign community (e.g. a typical halfling merchant), which may be quite beneficial to a particular merchant, especially if they can get an exclusive license. Most of GAMAT's attention is directed toward travelling merchants, thereby covering the gamut of the potential commerce; and many a license is good enough to cover a merchant and his subordinates, or even a small merchant family, as is often the case in the inkeeping and taverning businesses. Beyond basic operating licenses, the Chief Magistrate will sometimes offer Associateships of varying degrees; a quite desirable position that holds significant wealth and power, and usually a formal title. It is quite difficult to achieve this status, however, and notoriously difficult and expensive for non-gnomes to become Associates, but any who manage are highly regarded among gnomes as only gnomes know why (those who achieve the status and spoil the secret are stripped of it and never seen again).
- : sold by the local Associate's Office; such a license is good within the Associate's jurisdiction (usually a state, duchy, kingdom, or other principality) for as many as 5 years, and permits the purchase or sale of lawful goods and services to or from a member of any race. The license may be designated to cover up to 5 named partners, which effectively incorporates them under the bylaws of The Association, and gives them and their subordinates the rights of the license. It is commonly used by businessmen who would hire members of various races to serve other races, such as national merchant caravans. The Associate's License grants the most freedom in dealing between the races, short of an Associateship. Most major cities (e.g. capitals) have an Associate's Office. Cost: 2,000 gp.
- : sold at the local Deputy Associate's Branch; these licenses are good within the Deputy Associate's jurisdiction (usually a county, township, barony, or other subdivision) for up to 1 year, and authorizes the exchange of lawful goods, but not services or other intangibles (except in the exchange of goods), between the holder and members of any race. The license may cover up to 3 named partners (and their subordinates), who are effectively incorporated under the bylaws. Alternatively such a license may permit interracial trade between specific locations within distinct Deputy jurisdictions (i.e. counties), but not within them; this variant is often used by long-range trade caravans of limited scope. Most cities and many towns have a Deputy Associate's Branch. Cost: 500 gp.
- : sold by local Deputy Associates, these licenses permit fixed businesses such as inns, taverns, and shops to sale or serve people of any race, and last up to 1 year before renewal is required, which they are streamlined for (no re-application fees). Licenses cover a sole proprietor and up to 20 subordinates. By definition they are limited to the named establishment, location, and business type, but are significantly more cost effective than other licenses. Deputy Associates can be found in most cities and towns. Cost: 100 gp, 250 gp, or 500 gp, depending on establishment size & quality.
- : sold by a Deputy Associate or specially licensed representative, these permits allow an individual person to buy or sell lawful goods or services to or from any lawful individual, in accordance with all applicable law, for up to a day, a week, or even a (20 day) month. Spending the extra gold may be quite worthwhile as many localities allow discounts on goods and services to permit holders, i.e. purchase prices tend to go down, and sale prices tend to go up, for permit holders. Cost: 1 gp, 5 gp, or 20 gp, depending on duration.
- versions may allow a holder to serve a deal with a specific race (e.g. elves, gnomes, halflings, dwarves, humans), and are cheaper; usually by about 20%. Most businesses will have at least an auxiliary license tailored for the majority race with which they deal (i.e. humans in human lands, dwarves when underground, elves in elvendom, etc.), and will advertise to that effect. A number of establishments capitalize on lack of a license where one is required to create particular homogenous environments for their patrons.
The licenses are all contract based, so the particulars may vary between holders. For example, the servant's guild of a particular barony may hold a Deputy's License on behalf of their members, since such a guild is likely relatively poor and yet will likely serve various races throughout the year.
- Chief Magistrate – the chief executive officer for the trading company; implements policy and establishes rules and orders for the execution of the bylaws; appoints and oversees secondary officers such as the chief bookkeeper, chief barrister, chief dispatcher, chief clerk, and chief scribe.
- Associate Partner – a relative few Associates attain enough experience and prestige that they may be elected to the Grand High Committee Board of the Magistrate to the Gnomish Association of Merchants, Adventurers, and Traders. These prestigious gnomes are responsible for the establishment of policies and bylaws, and the making of major company decisions, such as whether to have caviar or calamari for lunch, and the wording and range of standard licenses and contracts. Appointments are for life and come with the formal title of Grand Duke.
- Associate – the basic position, usually comes with a formal title such as Count or Duke, the prestigious associates are responsible for administering The Association's interests throughout a state, kingdom, duchy, or other principality, as well as selling the greater licenses. Large guilds, companies, or other associations often maintain Associate membership within GAMAT. Associates also have the power to create (rather, recommend or request for appointment) Deputy Associates, as per approval of the Magistrate.
- Deputy Associate – the lowest rank, but still quite powerful; the most commonly interacted with. Can petition their direct superior for the ability to install assistants to circulate smaller communities (i.e. baronies, manors, villages, hamlets, etc.), with permission from the Committee of course.

I had been suffering from constant headaches and dizziness for two weeks after a fall and was told by my primary doctor that it could take up to 6 months for these symptoms to go away. After my first adjustment, I noticed some relief from the constant headaches and after just a couple weeks of treatment my headaches and dizziness were completely gone. Dr. Dworak and his staff were very caring and answered all of my questions and concerns. I feel that Dr. Dworak gave me my life back!
Yvonne H.
I injured my back helping a friend put in a new patio causing me to have sharp pain in my lower back. The staff at Bluffs Famliy Chiropractic treated me great and seemed to actually take an interest in may care rather than treating it as "just business." My pain quickly decreased and now I feel even better than before I was injured. I have had people try to refer me to other chiropractors but told them that they couldn't be any better than Dr. Dworak as he has helped with all my problems.
Jacob H.
I began seeing Dr. Dworak because I had been having lower back pain for about 2 months. I also had daily headaches, but did not know that chiropractic may be able to help them as well. I was taking Tylenol to help with the pain which provided temporary relief. After beginning care, my pain began to decrease quickly and eventually was completely relieved. I enjoyed how friendly and personal the staff was and how convenient the adjustments fit into my schedule. I have recommended Dr. Dworak to multiple people.
Danielle H.
While training for a half marathon, I began having sharp pains in my knee so after a couple weeks I decided to see someone for it. I liked to one on one conversations with Dr. Dworak and the friendly staff. He did a great job of explaining my condition to me. My spine is better aligned and my knee pain has disappeared since I started care.
Carmen T.
I originally started care because of upper back pain that had lingered for about 3 months after a fall. I have also had headaches for several years, but didn't think there was anything that would help them. I had been to my MD and received pain killers and muscle relaxers for my back and was told that it would eventually get better. I didn't know anything about chiropractic when I started but the staff treated me well and I appreciated the time spent explaining what was going on. My back is now 95% better and the headaches, which I thought I would just have to live with, are so much less frequent than before. I recommend Dr. Dworak and Bluffs Family Chiropractic to anyone who says they are looking.

Best Jack Lemmon Movies
The best Jack Lemmon movies are a collection of intense drama, great comedy, wonderful casts, well written scripts, and unforgettable performances. Every character Jack Lemmon played and every performance he gave was unique. Nobody could play a drunk, a warlock, or a girl like Jack Lemmon.
"Mister Roberts" (1955). Co-starring with Henry Fonda as Lt. Doug Roberts, James Cagney as Captain Morton, and William Powel as Doc, Lemmon plays Frank Thurlowe Pulver, a young Ensign intent on never finishing anything he starts and living through the war from the comfort of his bunk, who grows into a solid fighting naval man. Great comedy moments with a solid cast make this one of the best Jack Lemmon movies.
"Bell, Book and Candle" (1958). Jack plays Nicky Holroyd, a New York warlock who uses his powers for mischief and self indulgence. The cast includes Kim Novak as Gillian Holroyd, James Stewart as Shep Henderson, and Ernie Kovacs (at his best) as Sidney Redlitch. Elsa Lanchester and Hermione Gingold steal every scene they are in. This is Jack Lemmon at his comedic best.
"Some Like It Hot" (1959). Jack Lemmon in drag playing opposite Tony Curtis in drag and both sharing the spotlight with a scantily clothed Marilyn Monroe. This is classic Billy Wilder comedy in which Jack Lemmon was hysterically funny as Jerry and Daphne. Tony Curtis was brilliant, Marilyn was stunning. This comedy is full of bad guys, good girls, and laughs.
"The Apartment" (1960). A saucy Billy Wilder drama starring Jack Lemmon as C.C. Baxter, a rising businessman, in this commentary on men, marriage, office romance, and office politics. Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacClaine) is the elevator operator going to the bottom in an affair with married Jeff Sheldrake (well played by Fred MacMurray) at Baxter's apartment that he lends out to co-workers. It is an unforgettable drama.
"Days of Wine and Roses" (1962). Jack Lemmon as the self destructive Joe Clay plays opposite Lee Remick as the lovely Kirsten Clay who follows her husband down the dark hole of alcoholism. This is Lemmon's most powerful dramatic performance as Joe disintegrates before your eyes in to the horrors of the DT's. Remarkably powerful performances by both stars.
"Under the Yum Yum Tree" (1963). Jack Lemmon plays Hogan, the owner of an apartment building that only rents to attractive women. Hogan suffers from chronic immaturity and lechery. Lemmon gives one of his finest comedic performances as he tries to derail the engagement of a young tenant who tricks him into renting to her and her fiancé. It is a delightful comedy.
"How to Murder Your Wife" (1965). Lemmon plays Stanley Ford, an action adventure cartoonist, who acts out every story line. When he acts out the murder of his wife, he stands trial for her murder. The gorgeous Virna Lisi plays Mrs. Ford who pops out of a cake at a bachelor party where the very drunk Stanley marries her. It's a fun spoof on marriage with a great supporting cast.
"The Odd Couple" (1968). Hands down the most memorable pair, Felix Unger (Jack Lemmon) and Oscar Madison (Walter Matthau), middle aged divorced men sharing an apartment and driving each other crazy. The Odd Couple takes comedy to a whole new level and is a must see. It was nominated for two Oscars.
"Save the Tiger" (1973). Jack Lemmon won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance as businessman Harry Stoner. Indebted and with his business failing, Harry Stoner reduces himself to a position of getting clients prostitutes and partakes in insurance fraud to keep himself and his business alive. This is a memorable dramatic performance by Lemmon.
"Grumpy Old Men" (1993). Jack Lemmon (John Gustafson) and Walter Matthau (Max Goldman) were reunited in this comedy about two old geezers living across the street from each other and, in spite of being life long friends, fight like two first graders in a school yard. Ann Margret as Ariel Truax moves to the neighborhood and give the boys more to fight about. Well written, great performances, and a wonderful supporting cast make this a clear pick for a list of best Jack Lemmon movies.

While off its highs, Twitter Inc. (TWTR) is still up 20% on Thursday. But it's not the only one, with GrubHub (GRUB) up an impressive 29%.
Like Twitter, the company beat on earnings per share and revenue estimates, stunning investors and soaring to new 52-week highs. Unlike Twitter stock, though, GrubHub stock is holding onto most of its gains on the day.
Just as they did with Snap Inc. (SNAP) and Twitter, GrubHub is going to be a "stock that people recognize as real because the company is real," TheStreet's Jim Cramer said on CNBC's "Mad Dash" segment.
Elaborating, Cramer reasoned that delivery has become a very real and powerful business, as the stay-at-home economy continues to thrive. Investors are recognizing that as GrubHub's business is flourishing.
The company reported earnings of 36 cents per share, coming in 6 cents per share above analysts' expectations. Revenue of $205.1 million came $3.3 million ahead of expectations and grew a whopping 49.2% year-over-year.
The short interest was near 20% on GrubHub, so these results are definitely catching more than a few bears offsides, Cramer pointed out.
GrubHub is now available in more than 1,300 cities and has grown its restaurant footprint from 40,000 to 80,000 over the past two years. "You have to have delivery or you will lose market share," Cramer said of the restaurants. For a long time, restaurants didn't want to do delivery, because they wanted customers to come and spend money.
The stay-at-home economy is showing that they'd rather stay at home, play video games from Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO) or Activision Blizzard (ATVI) , and watch Netflix (NFLX) .
Finally, GrubHub's partnership with Yum! Brands (YUM) is huge for the company, said Cramer, who also manages the Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust portfolio.
That and Yum! purchases $200 million worth of GrubHub stock is a two-fold benefit. One, GrubHub has more liquidity to accelerate growth and two, it's a vote of confidence from Yum!
GrubHub impressively clung to most of its gains Thursday, despite the near-4% selloff in the S&P 500. Shares ended the day at $89.04, up 27.2%.
Activision Blizzard is a holding in Jim Cramer's Action Alerts PLUS Charitable Trust Portfolio. Want to be alerted before Cramer buys or sells ATVI? Learn more now.

PZ - April 17th 2014
Planning & Zoning Commission
Workshop Meeting Minutes
Mayfield Village
April 17, 2014
The Planning and Zoning Commission met in workshop session on Thurs, April 17, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mayfield Village Civic Center, Main Conference Room for a meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Chairman Farmer presided.
Present: Mr. Jim Farmer (Chairman), Mr. Vetus Syracuse (Chairman ProTem), Mr. Garry Regan, and Mr. Paul Fikaris
Also Present: Ms. Diane Calta (Law Department), Mr. David Hartt (Planning Director), Mr. Ted Esborn (Economic Development Director), Mr. John Marrelli (Building Commissioner), and Ms. Deborah Garbo (Secretary)
Absent: Mr. Bill Marquardt, Dr. Sue McGrath, Mayor Rinker, Mr. Nick Delguyd (Council Alternate), and Mr. Tom Cappello (Village Engineer)
- Zoning Code Amendments
Review Code Section "District Regulations"
Chairman Farmer called the meeting to order. This is a workshop meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission. We have one item tonight regarding our zoning code amendments, particularly on District Regulations.
Review of District Regulations Hand Out Dated April 17, 2014
David Hartt begins. This is our first one of many meetings when we start to feed you revised sections of the code. The format and orientation of the sections are not fully developed, but we're moving towards getting this in the format and structure of the new code.
We've highlighted in this document with big asterisks those sections that we think are the areas with the biggest policy issues. I'm going to give you a preview of why these areas were flagged and then open up for discussion.
We reviewed with you how we were going to structurally change the code, but never distributed a revised Table of Contents.
In the document you have, we've tracked changes from the existing code; we've struck out in red or we've underlined. But, if we relocated something and not changed it, we did not track that change. We just put it in another location. Otherwise, we'll get blown away with tracked changes all over the place.
Table of Contents
TITLE FIVE – Zoning. We are dramatically expanding this section to include powers and duties and more elaborate procedures for virtually all the procedures i.e. development plan review, conditional use variances. Then we have the non-conforming section. We make sure we spell out what people are responsible for and what the procedures are.
TITLE SEVEN – Zoning District /Use Regulations. We essentially collapsed all the districts into three chapters.
Chap 1153: Districts Established. Classifications of Uses. This is kind of the introductory to the District Regulations.
Chap 1157: Residential Districts. We have all the Residential Districts collapsed in 1157.
Chap 1159: Planned Residential Development District. This more or less stays where it is. It has a format that's relatively new, done within the last 10 years. But it's not been changed to exactly correspond with the format that we're applying for the 1157 and 1173 which is the collapsing of all the Business Districts in one chapter. We could modify the PRDD format, but not sure if it's necessary to do that.
Ted Esborn said regarding the collapsing of the Business District, we had before three chapters on Business Districts; One chapter for Local/Business, One chapter for One Story Office, and then one covering Production/Distribution, Motorist/Service and Office/Lab. When I looked back at P & Z Minutes over the decades, it seems Local Business was the first commercial district in the Village. Next they added the north side of Wilson Mills, that's the One Story Office. Then came the explosion of development on Beta Drive when the freeway went in and is when they added the other 3 districts. It was a little awkward and lopsided to have one chapter for one district, one chapter for another, and a third for these 3 districts encompassing most of the Village's commercial land, so we collapsed those into one chapter for Business Districts.
David Hartt said as part of that collapsing, we did it with the Residential Districts and the Business Districts; trying to get all the regulations related to residential development in one section and all the regulations related to commercial development in one section. The exception to that is the signs and parking that still have their own separate Chapters. The reason we do that is because if you try to collapse all of that stuff, you're repeating a dozen pages:
TITLE NINE – Regulations Applicable to All Districts
Chapter 1183 Off-Street Parking & Loading.
Chapter 1185 Signs.
TITLE ELEVEN – Environmental Regulations. We've taken all the Environmental Regulations, a lot of chapters, mostly new stuff. We don't think they need a lot of changes. They'll need some consistency changes to get the terminology correct. We put them all in one section because they previously were in the subdivision regulations and yet they apply for the most part to everything.
Chapter 1153
Districts Established; Classifications of Uses
David said there's a provision here that says if I have a house that was built as a house and it all of a sudden happens to be zoned for another district, I can't use it for that other use unless I change it so much it doesn't look like a house anymore and it looks like a business.
My reaction is, if the public body changed that knowing that there was a house there and the re-use of the building meets all building code requirements, does the Village really care that it looks like a house? Example is Fisher's Tavern or Pizzazz.
Do you really want to keep that provision?
Mr. Marrelli said 3 houses would jump on this and put in a Dentist Office, the 3 houses on SOM & Beta.
David Hartt said if that property ever got rezoned, it seems to me you'd be concerned about the impact. So if somebody was able to reuse the houses for business purposes, it would have a lot less impact in terms of traffic.
Mr. Regan uses the 3 SOM/Beta houses as an example. If the owners petition the Village and Electorate to rezone that commercial and the voters are willing to rezone that to commercial, whoever buys it should be able to do whatever they darn well please, should they want to use that house as a Dentist office.
David replied yes, if they meet building code. That's the key thing. I don't want to minimize the cost of using a house for business purposes, but it's probably a lot cheaper than tearing it down and building a new commercial building of equal size. You'd have to sprinkle, you have exit issues, etc.
Mr. Regan asked if there's any history as to why someone would make the statement that you have to change the building.
Ms. Calta replied somebody would probably argue that they're grandfathered.
Mr. Fikaris asked about Dr. Eadie's building on Seneca.
Mr. Marrelli said he's a non-conforming use. There was a Dentist Office before we put our code into effect in the 60's. He had to go to Planning Commission & Council to expand the modification. When you have a non-conforming use, you can't make it bigger.
Ms. Calta thinking of an example where someone would want those houses to stay on SOM. Say it's rezoned to commercial and they want to use that house for a Dentist Office (commercial use), but they don't want to comply to the commercial code because it's a residence.
Mr. Marrelli said then the Home Occupation Law kicks in. You can't have it both ways. They'll say it's a house and come in for a sign in the front yard. Fisher's Tavern has bedrooms upstairs that have been converted to file storage. If it's a house, then it's a house. If it's a business, you can't live in it.
David Hartt said that's not what this says. It says I have to really really renovate that house so it doesn't look like a house anymore.
"A building designed and occupied as a residence cannot be occupied in part or wholly for another use unless the building is redesigned to express the new function and reconstructed to the extent that it will fully accommodate the proposed use, and a lot occupied by a dwelling shall not be occupied by any other use permitted herein."
Mr. Regan said the use and the conformance to the building code is more important than the appearance.
David Hartt said the irony of this statement is that you have recent commercial buildings built on Wilson Mills and Governors Village that were designed to look like houses. That's the flip to this provision.
Ms. Calta said this is just "USE LIMITATIONS". If you're looking just within the residential classifications, is there a situation where part of it's single family and part multi-family?
Mr. Marrelli doesn't think so. I'm guessing when they wrote this, they were trying to keep the houses on main streets from being turned into businesses.
Ms. Calta said there's a Dentist Office in Highland Hts. and they live there.
David Hartt said maybe we don't eliminate this, but it gets modified two different ways. One is, if you start using it for commercial purposes, you can't use it as a resident anymore. Second, if you're changing the use of a building, regardless of what that is, you've got to make sure you meet all the building codes. David adds; "Unless specifically authorized". Remember, the vision for the Town Center was mixed-use buildings.
Chapter 1157
Residential Districts
(f) Schedule 1157.02 Permitted, Conditional & Accessory Uses
David refers to:
Group Residential. This is all new because of State & Federal Law, the courts have said you have to comply with these allowances. You have to allow an Adult Day Care Facility of less than 5 persons to be permitted in a residential district. Foster family home you have to permit. Residential facility for 6-8 persons (family home with disabilities) you have to permit. It gets iffy whether you have the authority as a municipality to consider those single facilities as a Conditional Use, recognizing that they have more people, they have more parking, and they need more buffering between themselves and adjacent properties. Therefore, it's reasonable in my view to say they ought to be conditionally approved, go to Planning Commission for their site, not to deny them, but to make sure they're managed correctly.
Ms. Calta said as they get bigger, the idea is it's not a single family use anymore. Also, there's different licensing requirements depending on the number of residents in the home.
David Hartt said I think we can skip over this now but we'll have to get together and make sure we're on the same page on this. I think it's fair to say something close to this has to be added to the regulations.
Ted Esborn said before we move on, I want to make a point, because we're getting into the actual District's Chapters here. Each District Chapter is structured as such that first we talk about Permitted Uses then we talk about Regulations. We haven't touched the Planned Residential Development Chapter that much because that was recently adopted. Chapters 1157 & 1153 especially is where we're incorporating a lot of tables that the existing code doesn't have. I'm glad we're taking the District Regulations tonight because with the incorporation of all these tables, I think we're going to be going back and revisiting and refining these tables. But that's how each of these Chapters is structured.
Mr. Regan said I noticed on this list, you don't have Oil/Gas Wells. I know it's regulated by the State. I like things simple. If somebody reads this, they see it's not listed, then it must not be permitted. I'm against this by the way, but I'm making a point.
Ms. Calta said there's still an Oil/Gas Well section in here.
Mr. Regan said I know we have a section, but I thought we were condensing. Why isn't it in the chart?
David Hartt said there's a court case that's supposed to be heard soon in Munroe Falls. They're trying to take the zoning authority back.
Mr. Regan said we know that it's been a contentious issue here as well.
David Hartt said we did an update in the city of Fairlawn the last few years. Obviously for the last 20 years or so, they like many communities, permitted gas & oil wells. We left the permission in there and put a note in to the affect that anything related to gas & oil wells and related facilities and site development that by chance or by changing the State rules falls out of the State prevue, we're going to catch it. We'll still grant the permit, but we'll let the community decide how to buffer, etc within reason.
Ms. Calta said 1179.01 is the INTENT section of oil & gas wells. This might be the reason why we don't list it as a permitted use in residential. It says:
"It is the intent of Village Council to ensure the safe operation of oil & gas wells and preserve the aesthetics and character of and within the Village. Toward that end, this Chapter has been adopted to supplement any State issued permits which authorize the drilling of any oil & gas well within the Village". (Ord 2009-56).
Mr. Regan asked, what does that mean?
Ms. Calta said the State's going to issue a permit and allow you to drill. We can't tell you where to drill, when to drill, how to drill. You've got to comply with the State.
Mr. Regan said I would say it's permitted and then reference 1179.01.
Ms. Calta said these are our codes that apply within our municipality. They're not to be in conflict with the general laws of the State of Ohio. Oil & Gas is regulated by the State of Ohio. I consider it a general law. By allowing it in a residential district or any district within the Village, we're not in conflict with that general law. I think it's going to be controversial to be honest with you. By not putting it in there doesn't mean that it's not permitted. It just means that it's governed by the general law of the State of Ohio.
Mr. Regan apologizes if he sounds argumentative, but it says under 1157.02 (e); "Any use not specifically listed as either a permitted principal or conditional use shall be a prohibited use in this zoning district and shall only be permitted upon amendment of this Code and/or the Zoning Map, or upon a finding that the use is substantially similar to uses otherwise permitted". Why not or governed by State Law?
Ms. Calta said it's a good point because I can't think of others, but there probably are others.
Schedule 1157.03
Lot Requirements in Residential Districts
David Hartt said this is all the same regulations, just putting it in table format. The question is whether the Village wants to regulate in the Residential Districts maximum building coverage for the principal building and the accessory building or maximum coverage for the buildings and the hard surfaces. What has prompted this question is in communities with particularly smaller residential lots over the last 20 years or so, there's been a lot more pressure to put bigger driveways, bigger patios, pools, cabanas. Some communities are saying we've lost the purpose of the softness and green we expected in these residential areas. We don't want to regulate each component, but maybe regulate the maximum coverage so that we preserve some character that we want and some softness and some green that we expect. Your lots are ½ acre. Those are bigger, you might not feel that pressure. You might say if it isn't broken don't fix it. In some of the smaller lot communities, this is a big big issue.
Mr. Regan asked, do we say you must have a green buffer between properties?
David Hartt said that's the side setback. The problem is we allow things in the rear yard. They can go fairly close to the rear property line. But we don't regulate the same for a detached accessory structure or for a driveway, patios, pools, etc.
Ms. Calta thinks you have to put something in here that you can enforce easily. Or expand under the Accessory Uses.
David Hartt said you can go overboard on this too.
Mr. Marrelli agrees. I know places that are starting to regulate swing sets. How far do you want to go? Most of our houses have attached garages so we don't run into the back yard parking which I'm grateful of because detached garages lend itself to paving the whole back yard. And we haven't had anybody yet want to put in a 30 x 50 concrete basketball court in their backyard.
Mr. Syracuse asked, driveways where paving's concerned, do we have any regulation on that now?
Mr. Marrelli said there's a maximum width in our parking regulations.
David Hartt asked, can somebody put a pull-off parking area in front of the house next to the garage?
Mr. Marrelli replied we don't regulate that.
Mr. Syracuse said that came up quite a bit in Mayfield Hts, especially on Ridgebury. They said they needed turnaround space. What it really was is they had kids who grew up and they wanted to park cars there.
Mr. Marrelli said you can't police that. You end up with a parking lot in your front yard.
Ted Esborn wonders what the average Village residential lot coverage is. What's a popular standard?
David Hartt said we'd have to do some calculations and look at aerial photos if you wanted to start to regulate this. In Shaker Hts, we allow 60% coverage of the rear yard.
Mr. Regan said I live in Kenwood. We have Deed Restrictions.
Mr. Marrelli said nobody enforces them so forget it. The Homeowners Association is supposed to be watching guard over that.
Mr. Syracuse said any kind of Deed Restriction would be by whoever created the Deed Restriction. The Homeowner's Association that enforced that or put it in, it would come down to the Board of Directors for that Association.
Ms. Calta said sometimes those Homeowner's Deed Restrictions are parallel. Speaking of oil/gas wells, there was talk about some of these Homeowner's Associations putting in Deed Restrictions for the gas/oil wells as a way to circumvent.
David Hartt asked, can you have Deed Restrictions that go against State or Federal Law?
Ms. Calta replied, you can't do something that would be discriminatory.
Revise Lot coverage, regulate maximum building coverage?
David Hartt said the question tonight is do you want us to look at adding something along these lines, or take the position that it's not broken, let's not overregulate the world.
Mr. Marrelli takes the position to deal with these things that go in the backyards, how many you can have and how big they can be.
David Hartt said if you try to regulate the size of everything, the impact to the community is how much coverage regardless of how I proportion it. I'd rather give the property owner the choice of how they want to use their allowance.
Mr. Marrelli said that means if you have a big property, you can go crazy back there. Right now if someone builds a deck and it's off the ground they can't be within 40' of their rear line. Now, some of the lots that are 300' deep, they can run that thing all the way out. I've dealt with the rules about; drive width, turnaround, patio size, putting curb on patio next to drive, etc. It gets so detailed and minute that to enforce these things you need 100 guys watching everything.
Ms. Calta feels with ½ acre lots, we're not going to run into it quite as much. That's not a legal opinion. But you've run into problems with too much stuff in backyards.
Mr. Regan said if you limit it to three things, somebody will put up a ferris wheel. I'd rather deal with the lot coverage. The old saying, a man's home is his castle. Let him do what he wants.
David puts the accessory building issue into this thinking. Right now you regulate the size of an accessory building by the use. To me, the impact of an accessory building is the size of the building regardless of what legal use it's used for. Secondly, if you approve a larger building because they're telling you it's going to be used for one of the uses for which the larger building is permissible, you have no way of monitoring or enforcing that in 20 – 30 years. I'd rather say we don't care what you do with that building as long as it's legal use. We really want to monitor the mass of that building and its impact on adjacent property.
Ms. Calta said not to bring up the past, but if you allow too much coverage, something like a pool house, something like a cottage would be illegal to occupy as a residence. It poses all sorts of safety concerns. But, how do we regulate that? There's no way to be in somebody's back yard 24/7 to see if they're living in the pool house.
Mr. Regan suggests adding language as long as it doesn't impact the zoning. I don't think there's any way to monitor what people are doing inside their homes, let alone inside their out buildings.
David Hartt said we don't want to over regulate or over monitor what people can do. We want to regulate the maximum size of an accessory building with the presumption it's going to be used for one of the accessory uses that's listed, i.e. garage, tool house, pool house.
Mr. Marrelli said it's written if it's a tool shed, it's 192 sq. ft. maximum. If it's for tools and a vehicle, which would be a garage, then you add a driveway to store a vehicle it could be bigger because you can't put a car in 192 sq. ft.
David said the problem is you've allowed a bigger accessory structure because somebody wants to put a vehicle in it. That's an impact on the adjacent property owner. That's now existing. The next owner comes in, retired folks, they don't have the multiple cars and they use it as a big storage shed. In effect, they got licensed by saying they're going to use it for one purpose. You can't control that. Let's just say you could have 2 accessory buildings. The total of the accessory buildings can't be more than this number of square feet and one of those buildings can't be more than this number square feet. Let's say the two can be 550 but one of them can't be more than 450, and the other can be 100.
Consensus: Hold changes for further discussion.
David Hartt said a lot of codes say for residential you can have 25% building coverage. In most communities, regardless of lot size, the house never reaches that percentage. That's not the issue. The issue is more with driveways, patios, and accessory buildings, the combined total.
Ms. Calta asked, is a patio considered an accessory structure?
David replied it could be if you're concerned about the hard surface compared to the greenness and softness.
Ms. Calta thinks that has to do more with storm water.
Consensus: Hold changes for further discussion.
Schedule 1157.07
Permitted Accessory Structures in Front, Side & Rear Yards in Residential Districts
David Hartt said this section requires 3 parking spaces for a 2-bedroom apartment which conflicts with the parking district. Plus, it's more spaces than the parking standard.
Ted Esborn notes there are no Two-Family areas on the map.
Mr. Marrelli said there're a couple Two-Family houses, one on Wilson Mills that we know of next to the Deacon's property, a non-conforming Two-Family, but no Two-Family District.
Consensus: Make consistent with the Parking Regulations.
David Hartt said some of this language needs to be changed. Six feet is the max height and that's o.k, but there's a 25% openness requirement for board on board fences. I've got to believe that people have board on board fences in Mayfield Village that aren't complying with that open space.
Mr. Marrelli said that's so the wind can go through it without knocking it down. So far they're complying.
David Hartt said the typical board on board is looking at it head on and it's solid.
Mr. Marrelli said according to the manufacturer, they say that air space because of the staggering, gives you the 25% openings that you need. When there are big heavy winds, they're not getting blown over.
David asked, are you o.k. with the 8' height next to nonresidential? John said yes.
Mr. Marrelli states there is no good definition of where a side yard fence should stop in relation to the house.
David Hartt said unless you tell us otherwise, we typically say it stops at the front of the house.
Discussion ensued on the main building line, either front or back of house, a stopping point.
Mr. Marrelli suggests that get spelled out. So if your house is all the way in the backyard, and you have 20' of usable rear yard, if you put a fence in, you can't go past the house.
Consensus: Add language as to where a side yard fence stops in relation to the house.
David Hartt said if you read this list of what's permitted that we've crossed out and compare it with the regulations that you now have, some of them would and some wouldn't comply. Main reason that some wouldn't comply is because one of the provisions is that no physical storage, sale or transfer of goods is permitted from the premises. We have a problem because of; Crafts, Floral Arrangements, Gift Baskets. All of those things require delivery of something from the premises. By listing these uses, you've got a building conflict with the standard.
Mr. Marrelli thinks they wanted to say retail.
David said if somebody's making pottery in their basement and going to sell them, they could sell them at retail.
Mr. Marrelli said they're saying you can do retail if you do it by mail, phone or electronically.
David said this subject becomes a big discussion in every community we work in. The general notion now is to say we don't really care what goes on in the house, what we do care is that it's not causing any nuisance to the neighborhood. You're really not going to monitor it, but if somebody complains, you have the standards to fall back on and say you've gone outside of bounds because what you're doing is materially noticeable by your neighbor's because of truck traffic, employees and commotion on a usual basis. You can't say no trucks because any home can have a UPS or Federal Express truck. You can't say no accumulation of cars because people have bridge and poker parties. You have to be careful to tie it to an abuse of an occupation and not just the normal fluctuations that flow with the house. We're suggesting we get rid of the use list and we add to some of the standards.
Mr. Marrelli said if somebody makes an inquiry; can I do this in my house, and I go to the code and it's not listed.
David Hartt replied that you say yes if you could operate it in a manner that's consistent with this page here.
Mr. Regan said we know there are people who are very good bakers. They bake a birthday cake in their oven at home and you pick it up. My wife is a knitter with another woman. They go to yarn sales and buy all the yarns that's available. That yarn's stored in various places in my house. It's for their own personal use, but eventually they take it, make something with it and might sell it. The bigger one is my wife runs an art program for Adults with Disabilities. We converted our basement into an art studio. Garry shows off his tied-dyed socks. They make tied-dyed socks in my basement. They don't sell them there except incidentally when someone will say I saw you at a show, can I come over and pick up 8 pairs of socks? They make them there and then take them to a craft show.
David Hartt asked, how many people?
Mr. Regan said 10 Adults.
David Hartt asked, does your wife get compensated?
Mr. Regan said no.
David Hartt said that's a volunteered service. That's the problem with this home occupation thing because you have to be able to distinguish that what's going on in the home for livelihood is so uniquely peaking at different times that it's clearly unusual activity in a residential neighborhood. That's hard to do.
Mr. Marrelli said unless you run into a situation where someone says there's a full blown catering operation in somebody's basement. That's easy to track because as soon as you walk in, you see the commercial equipment.
David said the real problem with the home occupations has traditionally been Auto Repair, Landscaping & Lawn Mowing Services. That's clearly equipment in the open, noise in the morning and the coming and goings.
Mr. Fikaris said my friend's been in the insurance business for years and always had a company car. Now they're shrouding the cars with graphics. I asked him how it impacts his home, parking it in his drive. He said they give them covers. It's a rolling billboard. I think we're going to see that more and more.
Discussion ensued on pros and cons of eliminating permitted home occupations list.
Mr. Regan said because of the rough economy there are a lot of people who have picked up that their abilities are marketable from home, whether it be from the internet. You mentioned eliminating:
(3) Sales. No physical storage, sale or transfer of goods is permitted from the premises.
If somebody paints, is a photographer or bakes cakes and somebody wants to buy one of their products, let them do it.
Mr. Marrelli thinks the permitted list is helpful because it gives people an idea of what you can do and frameworks anything that's kind of like that. It defines how far they can go.
David Hartt said virtually every code we've done in the last 10 years, we've not been concerned about what it is, but concerned about how you do it.
Mr. Marrelli said but you can't control how you do it.
David disagrees. You can. If they're going outside these bounds, you're going to know it because somebody's going to complain.
Ms. Calta asked about section 1157.08 (b)(2) where it talks about the occupation is conducted wholly within the dwelling and any space used occupies no more than 300 sq. ft. of floor area, or…
Mr. Marrelli replies that only comes into play when I have to follow up on a complaint and I have to investigate.
Mr. Syracuse uses Landscape occupation for example of 'storage of equipment section'. A landscaping company that starts to use all their landscaping equipment in their garage and now you can't park your cars in the garage. You're allowed to operate the company but you can't use your accessory buildings for that purpose. You need to find storage somewhere else.
Mr. Marrelli said as stupid as this ordinance looks, it works.
Mr. Regan likes the idea of scratching the list and just saying how you must do it.
Mr. Marrelli disagrees. It has to be clear, more defined.
Ms. Calta said the question to answer is; "Can I do my lawyering, gift baskets and crafts within these requirements?"
Mr. Marrelli would like to maintain the list. I think it's just a representative list of the types of businesses that you could do.
Ted Esborn understands John's point.
David Hartt said the problem with home occupations, the more strict you are and the more definitive you are, the more people are going underground and violating the code.
Consensus: Maintain the list of Home Occupations Permitted.
Business Districts
David Hartt said I'm not sure we're going to resolve this now, but the question is what we do with the height of Accessory Structures in the Commercial District. There really aren't a lot. We can say if they're complying with the setback requirements for the Principal Building because it's in the location of the Principal Structure. The height for the Principal Building is 35'. Is there a height limit now for an Accessory Structure?
Mr. Marrelli said we apply the 35' to the secondary building as well.
Ted Esborn said there's a provision that's very general and says; no structure of any kind in any district over 35'. I think we need to think about the height of the Principal Buildings. Holiday Inn is talking about redeveloping. They asked about our height limit. I had to tell them it's a height that's significantly lower than their current building.
Mr. Marrelli said which they got probably through a variance.
Mr. Regan thinks we'd be opening ourselves if we change the height right now.
Mr. Marrelli concurs.
David Hartt said the only concern is if you want to be business friendly and the developer has choices and you put this hurdle in front of them that they have to get a variance, you've just put one more obstacle and give them one more reason to perhaps go to their other choice.
Ms. Calta said if you're not on the freeway but you're on Beta and you want to go above 35', you're tearing down a building. You're redeveloping the whole site. That's a pretty significant investment. They're probably coming in for other approvals. The variance is just a small hurdle in the process.
Mr. Regan said this will not deter anybody with a big time dream.
Consensus: No change on 35' height limitation for Principal Building.
David Hartt said we're going to add more definitive Landscape standards, i.e. buffering, screening, parking lots, and percentage of site that is 'soft'.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,

Ready to step up to Speed skates, what to choose? (wide flat feet)
TL : DR --- What do you guys recommend for Speed/marathon skates with a low cut boot, either 4x110 or 3x125 for WIDE flat feet. I'm sure some companies have inherently wider boots, also a low arch line would be nice.
The availability of high end inline skates is quite poor in Quebec, so I would probably order from Inline warehouse. I would like to keep it under 600$ US, of the 3 big names which has the widest boots? Powerslide, Luigino or Bont?
Some back story after this, if you dont care, then dont read it
Hey guys, I have been inline skating pretty much all my adult life, also played hockey all of my youth and still skate casually during the winter.
Over the years I went from hockey style blades with 80mm wheels, to more recreational 90mm wheels and for the past 5-6 years I have been using K2 Mach 100s (2x90, 2x100) I have never found the transition to be that hard to bigger wheels so for my next pair I am looking at either 4x110 or 3x125.
Also I do not tie up the top part of my K2s at all, infact I leave the tongue sticking out over the plastic tie which I leave at the minimum. Basically I dont use any ankle support at all, I have always been used to that since I played hockey, so I dont think going to a low cut boot will be that hard either.
On a side note the K2s just kill my feet after about an hour, they are soft boots but are too narrow, especially for my right foot.

You will probably get a lot of different opinions on wheel size. If you are looking to develop and fine-tune your technique, I would say start with the 4 x 110s. As you probably know, technique is a major component of speed (not the skates or equipment). So, assuming you don't have a lot of experience with a pair of speed skates, I would recommend to start on smaller wheels versus the bigger ones. With that being said, if you are strictly looking to have fun and don't really care about competing or making huge improvements to your technique, 125s might be the way to go. I have heard that 125s are a little less stable over rougher surfaces, but I never personally experienced that.
In terms of boots, it all comes down to money and how serious you want to be. If you are ready to start racing and training to be competitive, then you might look into customs. Customs are expensive, but they are worth it in the long haul. Personally, I love my Pinnacle boots and would never go back to stock boots. If you don't want to spend a lot of money and get customs, then something like the Bont Jet would be a great boot. The Jet is lower end, but I've seen guys win pro level races on it. So, it won't hold you back much.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Bont have WIDE option for all their stock boots. Their boots (well, at least my jets) have almost no arch. Check their online store.
There is an abyss between any fitness/fsk boots and speed boots, and your feet aren't "standard", so check them indoor and be prepared to return them Good luck.
PS IMHO both 110 and 125 are VERY high for a person who got his first pair of speed skates recently.

If you're unsure about wheel size, consider getting the Cado Motus Comp Transformer frame. It can use either a 4x or a 3x setup. You can start on 4x100 to work on technique, and then go bigger as you get comfortable.
If you go this route you will have to buy the frame and boot separately, so look into how to align the frame. That will make a huge difference in how well you can maintain your ankles.
I have no advice on the boots. Sorry.
You don't improve by training until it hurts; you improve by training after it hurts.
I love the phrase "I quit". It beats more of my opponents than I do.

Bont does offer a wide boot, so that might be a solid choice if you really do need something wide for your foot.
You may want to try calling Simmons to see if you can get a wide version of the Rush boot. At $389 it is the best bang for the buck by a mile. I also have very flat feet and Simmons have always worked well for me, but my feet aren't that wide. It may or may not work well for you. Check out the boot here: http://simmons-racing.com/product-ca...sh/rush-boots/
Or, you can call 1-800-376-9907 and speak directly with Dave or Jennifer Simmons. I'm guessing they might have you trace your foot in order to get an idea of exactly how wide it is, and then would be able to tell you if their boot will work for you or not.
As far as wheel size goes, the Cado Motus suggestion somebody else had is a pretty good one. It would give you some options, and the price isn't too bad. I skated on cado frames for a few years and never had an issue. The Simmons Rush frame is $40 cheaper and nice, but you don't get the ability to change between 3 or 4 wheels. I'm guessing you'll probably enjoy skating 4x110 the best, or 4x100. If you think you'll stick with 4 wheels, I'd get the 4x110 Rush so you could either run 4x110 or 4x100 (or 4xwhatever).
I usually only suggest 3x125 for people who are looking to crank every possible mph out of their skates and race at high levels of the sport. Not sure if you're into cars or not, but here is an analogy. 4x110 is like a Porsche 911 GT3. It's fast, looks great, easy to drive fast, comfortable, and makes you want to be in it every day. 3x125 is a stripped out race car. It can get around the race track faster than the GT3, but it is not as comfortable, takes a while to learn how to drive it fast, and you look a little weird driving it anywhere other than a race track.

Considering everywhere Dondero has traveled, it's not surprising that geography permeates his songs. From Miami, Florida to Ely, Nevada, Dondero connects the highway lines into a collection of literate, impressionistic, folk-blues mini-epics. Conjuring the spirit of Henry Miller coming to terms with his homeland in The Air-Conditioned Nightmare, Dondero is like the ex-patriot returned--passionately and sublimely relaying how beautiful and ugly this huge-ass country can be.
The former Sunbrain singer/guitarist spent a week in August and two weeks in December 2004 at Sweat Box Studio in Austin Texas with a seasoned cast of like-minded cohorts, giving South of the South a richer, more worn-in feel than any of his previous records. Eric Bachman (Crooked Fingers), Mike Vasquez, Tom Heyman, Dan Carr, and Chris Heinrich collectively bring decades worth of musical wisdom that spreads all over these songs like the dust from a pickup peeling out on a dirt road. Of course it wouldn't feel right without longtime cohort Craig D on drums, and longtime Dondero fans can take comfort in his presence. "I've Seen the Love," features a signature Craig D shuffle beat while Vasquez's trumpet breezes through and Dan Carr's upright bass keeps the song on its feet. ?Let go the Past?--a determined, eerie, country-stomper--finds Heyman manipulating a reverb heavy slide guitar line, while Bachman lays a blanket of keys. Nice.
With an album full of ringers, it's somewhat surprising that some of the most revealing moments simply include Dondero's voice and guitar. On the haunting, live-to-one-track recording of "Brownsville Revival," he finger-picks a haunting melody and sings a damning lullaby about his home state of Florida and its backwoods religions with disarming results:
"There was a man whose daughter had died/I believe it was in Gainesville/By the cooler/And he put her inside/Went to Brownsville revival/Asked the congregation/If they could bring her back for him/He was looking for a miracle/But it just didn?t happen."
Yes, it's a bleak story, but it's the life some people lead.

1994 BMW 318 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual
when I start up my car it idles between 3500 and 4000. I have replace the mass air flow sensor, throttle positioning sensor, checked for leaks and even disconnected the throttle cable. The car had a fuel leak and it idled at maybe 800. Soon as I fixed the leak the idle when up. I disconnected the negative battery cable to see if the engine would reset itself and still the same is happening. All fuses are good. What should be the next I could do?
have the same problem?

How To Clean Billiards Pool Balls
So your pool balls are filthy, and you are wondering how to clean billiards pool balls? Look no further, because here we have just a few simple steps for cleaning billiard pool balls so that they look like new again. Even the grimiest and dirtiest of billiard balls can be shined up to perfection with a little soap and scrubbing. Depending on how dirty the balls are, it may only take you a few minutes out of your day. So, if you've got dirty pool balls that are itching to be clean again, let's get started!
To clean billiard pool balls, you will need the following supplies:
- Hand or dish soap
- Warm water
- Billiard cleaner
- Wax made for pool balls
- Clean, dry towel
- Grab soap, water, billiard cleaner, wax, and towel for drying. The only supplies you need for this job are a little dish or hand soap, some warm water, billiard pool ball cleaner, billiard wax, and a clean towel. After you've gathered all the needed supplies, you are ready to get started.
- Using the sink or a bucket, soak the billiard balls in warm water and soap. Let the dirty pool balls soak for a few minutes to loosen up any dirt and gunk that have been sitting there for a while. Be sure to use plenty of soap.
- Wipe the balls clean using a rag or dish towel. You may want to add a few more squirts of soap to the balls for this step. Rinse the balls well with the warm, soapy water.
- Dry the balls with a clean, dry towel. Remove all soap and dirt residue before moving on to the next step.
- Generously apply billiard ball cleaner to the balls. Clean the balls with the billiard cleaner to shine them up and remove scuff marks and caked on soil.
- Wax the billiard balls. Using the billiard pool ball wax, shine up the balls and make them look like new again. This will also help them during play.
