Preparation and negotiation of Purchase and Sale Agreements.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement is the standard name for a contract used in commercial real estate transactions. In residential property transactions the term "Contract" is usually used instead of the term "Agreement". Due to the fact that each type of commercial property is unique and is inherently a more complex investment than a piece of land or a house, the contract that is used to transfer ownership has to address a lot of complicated issues and conditions. The ability to write and negotiate such an agreement requires a familiarity and knowledge of these issues and conditions. Having prepared numerous such agreements, I am able to assist you with the review, analysis, writing and preparation of the P&S Agreement. If you are buying or selling any of the following types of properties, I can help you with the contract: retail shopping centers, office buildings, hotels, sport facilities, gas stations, marinas, industrial warehouses, multi-family apartment buildings and mixed use projects.
Buyer's Due Diligence Investigation
After commercial property is put under contract by a buyer, the buyer will have a certain amount of time to conduct an investigation of the property to learn more about the current condition of the property than was initially observable during the physical inspection. The investigation may also include research into whether the property can actually be used for a different type of use. This is commonly referred to as a due diligence period or the inspection period. During this due diligence period, the owner/seller of the property is usually required to provide the buyer with documentation or information about the property. As the buyer's attorney, I help the buyer obtain all the documentation from the seller and then review the information to advise the buyer as to any issues that might exist that could warrant a termination of the contract or renegotiation of the terms of the transaction.
Short Sales, Foreclosures and Workouts
The collapse of the residential real estate market in Florida has created and environment of all time records in the rate and quantity of foreclosures. Lenders, however, generally do not like to foreclose on single family homes especially in an environment of declining property prices because they are not in the business of owning, maintaining, and selling real estate. In many situations, they would prefer to restructure the loan arrangement with the borrower and allow him/her to keep owning the property. The process of negotiating with the bank and its attorneys to restructure a loan is called a "workout". Workouts may include changing the interest terms, changing the duration of the loan, increasing the security of the loan, refinancing, or selling the property. If the debt amount is greater than the value of the property and the lender is willing to accept a reduced repayment in the event of a sale, this is referred to a "short sale". Short sales require a lot of negotiation and coordination between the lender, the broker or sale agents and the buyer and seller. I can facilitate this process.
Commercial Leasing
Commercial leases for shopping centers, office buildings, warehouses, industrial properties, flex spaces, or mixed use projects can be very complicated contracts. Preparing and negotiating a lease agreement that correctly addresses the numerous terms, conditions, and contingencies in such a contract requires experience and a knowledge of the complicated issues that can arise during the term of a lease. I have drafted and negotiated many commercial leases on behalf of both landlords and tenants in a wide variety of properties.
Mortgages, Promissory Notes and Private Lending
Loan transactions between private parties require the preparation and negotiation of loan documents including promissory notes, mortgages and any number of additional documents used to secure the loan. These documents can be complex agreements that require the expertise of an attorney to prepare. Additionally, like traditional bank loans, private loans sometimes require title search and reviews and title insurance. If there are outstanding liens or encumbrances affecting the title of the property which is to secure the loan, an attorney can help facilitate the loan transaction by counseling the client how to address these issues and then help to close the loan.

This is a cross-post from an English grad course I'm currently taking, titled Writing in the Digital Age. You can view my classmate's posts on our class blog, located here.
Is the internet a meaningless void of data or a window into our deeper voyeuristic tendencies? A simulation/art project by Jonathan Harris and Greg Hochmuth, Network Effect seeks to address this question while producing a digital experience that can be best described as an anxiety-inducing mess: combining video, sound, brands, keywords, all onscreen at once and ever-updating.
Using a catalogue of common human behaviours, which includes actions like bite, dance, smoke, knit, sleep, and float, among 94 others, the interactive project gives users an information dump about their selected behaviour. Selecting float, for example, bombards a user visually with one-second clips of people and things from all over the world floating, while separate, unrelated audio loops endless sound bytes from people speaking about floating. Text across the bottom of the screen constantly refreshes, like high-speed ticker-tape on television news, revealing data about who says they're participating in the floating, tweets about the floating, and recent news headlines containing the concept.
The entire intimacy of the project could easily be destroyed by the sheer mass of information being presented, if not for the timed, anxiety-inducing aspect of this interactive piece. The timer gives users a small window for exploring, based on the average lifespan from the country where the user's I.P. address originates. I was granted something like 8.2 minutes, since the average lifespan in Canada is 82 years old. After this 8.2 minutes, I was locked out of the page for 24 hours. What this means is that each user can only see a very little piece of the huge project: its corpus contains about 10,000 video clips, 10,000 audio clips, and millions more data points, which continue to be collected. I am reminded of Abi's blog post re: queers in love at the end of the world, but this time, instead of just reading being pushed to an impossible timed limit, we see all digital mediums, text included, bombarding the user while the clock ticks down; Abi writes that the timed aspect of qilateotw enriches the prose, while my experience of Network Effect is that timing the experience only further adds to the meaningless absurdity of the work. Network Effect presents the internet for what it truly may be: a mirage. Full of potential, yet devoid of life, the project presents a bleak outlook for the age of the internet.
But wait, what does this have to do with authorship?
The authorship of this interactive piece is notable in its system of crediting authors. Each video clip is credited by title and author, and viewers can access the underlying videos on YouTube through the Credits section of the website. Workers from Amazon were actually paid by the piece for each relevant, already existing video they could collect containing one of the 100 specific behaviours. Drawing on Hammond, this empowerment of authorship in the work challenges the existing model of individual creation through collaborative composition and credit (153). The project engages many levels of authorship, from those who manually found video and audio clips, to the algorithms that collected data from Twitter, to the creators who managed all of the pieces and built a space for them to live in, all are dependant on one another, embodying a sort of symbiotic notion of authorship. He writes that digital production produces "wonderful, monstrous hybrids" (153), of which I would include Network Effect, for it too, like BodyWorld (the work that Hammond is writing on), engages in a "pointed ambivalent analysis of individuality and group consciousness in the digital age" (153).
The internet, like digital production, is a miraculous tool, which often affects us like a drug might. Designed to addict and distract, the internet harvests our attention like the valuable resource it is. Hammond mirrors this sentiment, writing that digital production is "a powerful drug, and we have all taken a toke" (153).
Is digital addiction paving the way for digital enlightenment, in regards to the internet, authorship, and beyond?

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
That night, Arlia slept uneasy.
Where am I?
At the edge of the war-torn land. At the edge of flames.
A farmhouse in the distance. A withered field.
Why is it so difficult to walk? Na'Ral, where are you?
A low moan.
"I fell, and I must have hurt my leg. I haven't been able to get up since yesterday. Thank Heavens you came by."
"Here, let me help you."
An old woman. Withered like the field, her face charred like the earth.
"What is your name, child?"
"Magra's daughter …"
"I am Mila. I have known your father for a long time. I hoped and prayed that one day I would see you again."
A shadow lifts from the old woman's face.
"There might be hope after all."
Arlia opened her eyes. It was still dark. She felt disoriented for a few seconds. Then she remembered her dream, remembered Mila. "There might be hope after all …", she whispered.

A Ministry Of Presence
The moral theologian Fr. James F. Keenan, SJ, defines mercy as the willingness to enter into the chaos of another. During the Jubilee Year of Mercy, this insight inspired Jesuits and their colleagues to bear even stronger witness to God's presence.
First-year Jesuit novices expand their spirituality and spend time in contemplation and prayer as they minister to the sick and dying at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx. The novices work closely with hospital staff and other religious to provide spiritual and emotional support to residents, while residing at Murray-Weigel Hall, the Jesuit senior health care community adjacent to Fordham University.
The USA Northeast Province supports two Jesuit health care communities – Campion Center in Weston, Mass., and Murray-Weigel Hall in the Bronx. Here, Jesuits in need of specialized medical care are treated by skilled professionals; others enjoy an assisted living environment, surrounded by fellow Jesuits, devoted staff members and volunteers from parishes and universities. Above are images of the Jesuits who live at Campion Center and Murray-Weigel Hall, with some of the volunteers and staff who accompany them.
THRIVE for Life is an Ignatian prison project founded by Zach Presutti, SJ, of the USA Northeast Province. THRIVE for Life offers the Spiritual Exercises to detainees in six correctional facilities throughout the metropolitan area and provides life skills training at the newly established THRIVE Learning Center at the Manhattan Detention Center. THRIVE for Life will soon be its own 501 (c)(3) organization in collaboration and partnership with several Jesuit schools and parishes in New York City. More information on THRIVE for Life can be found at www.ThriveforLife.org.
Through gifts large and small, our donors make possible the daily miracles of the
Society of Jesus and its ministries throughout the world.

Ohara Koson is one of the most famous Japanese artists – Articles about the artist – Zen Designer
Traditional Japanese prints of the genre "Flowers and birds" (Cacho-e) the great Japanese artist Ohara Koson.
Cacho-e is a Japanese term used for all prints and print editions, United by one theme – the genre "Flowers and birds" – traditional Japanese art. Koson Ohara is the most famous master of the Japanese woodblock genre Cacho-e of the 20th century.
Ohara Koson was born in 1877 years in Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture, in Northern Japan. At birth was given the name Ohara, MATEO.
Studied painting with Suzuki Koson – Japanese woodblock print master of the genre of Ukio-e, and after the master's death took his name. During his career, o'hara several times changed its name, CESSON, on Jason. So sometimes there is confusion with the signatures on the prints. On one we read CESSON Ohara, Ohara hoson the other or Vice versa. However, it's the same artist.
In 1904 Koson Ohara creates a series of engravings, devoted to the Russo-Japanese war. Then there was nothing unusual. At that time almost all the masters of the Japanese woodblock genre of Ukio-e was engaged in one way or another on this topic. First was in the fashion the theme of the Sino-Japanese war (1894 – 1895), and then the topic of the Russo-Japanese war (1904 – 1905).
Engraving on Japanese-Russian war, Ohara Koson.
Only one but. The theme of the Russo-Japanese war was fashionable only among the masters of engraving, but not pokupatelya. At the same time, engravings, dedicated to the Sino-Japanese war were bought up during the day. There is nothing surprising, because the demand of the Japanese prints in the traditional style was replaced by a demand for photos, which was more simple and fast way to convey to people the latest news. Traditional Japanese art has lost its meaning.
Ohara Koson also haven't suffered commercially from a sharp decline in the demand for engravings, as in the Ukio-e in General. He had a regular stable income working as a teacher at the school of fine arts in Tokyo.
In the school of fine arts coson met with his U.S. counterpart Ernest Penoles, who loved traditional Japanese art piece prints. Ironically it was those who convinced Cocona continue to make piece of engraving in the traditional style. Thus appeared the first prints Ohara in the genre of flowers and birds, printed in the format of tanzaku and published Matsuki Heikichi.
After returning to painting, Koson resumed work on the engravings of the genre Cacho-E. His current interests are prints in the traditional Japanese style, which in 1926 were published Wannabe Sozaburo – the initiator of the movement of Shin Hanga. Almost all prints made then coson, have been exported to the USA. In fact, these Japanese prints, traditional Japanese art, traditional Japanese prints were designed for export, because the Japanese almost completely lost interest in their own cultural values and traditions. So, since the end of the 19th century, Japanese art old and new, including traditional Japanese prints, in large quantities were exported from Japan to Europe and North America in large quantities.
Woodblock Ohara Koson of the genre flowers and birds, as well as his etchings with images of animals, resemble a watercolor than a print. This is not surprising, because in his works the artist used as watercolor and oil. His etchings of the genre "Flowers and birds" performed with a high degree of skill that you can notice how carefully and finely drawn, the plumage of birds.
Ohara Koson used a different signature to your prints, as already mentioned. Precise Dating of these is sometimes very difficult, if not impossible. However, one thing is certain: the engravings made after 1923 after the great earthquake in Japan, we see more bright colors than his earlier works. Some of the artist's prints were published even in different versions, often with significant changes in color.

Exercise can often leave your muscles feeling tired and sore. This postexercise discomfort is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, and it can affect any of your muscles. Delayed onset muscle soreness is especially problematic when it affects your legs as it can make walking, sitting and even sleeping uncomfortable. There are several theories as to what causes DOMS, although one single unifying explanation has yet to be identified. Most experts agree that micro muscle trauma is one of the most likely candidates.
Too Much, Too Soon
A sudden increase in workout intensity or volume is a sure way to trigger a painful attack of delayed onset muscle soreness. Excessive exercise may cause microtraumas in your muscle tissue which results in inflammation, swelling, stiffness and pain. In this instance, the best way to avoid DOMS is to gradually increase exercise intensity and duration over several weeks so you do not "shock" your muscles too much.
Doing Something New
Another cause of muscle microtrauma is doing a new exercise that uses your muscles in a way that they are not accustomed to. For example, if you normally do squats but, for a change, do lunges instead, your muscles may feel sore the next day. To avoid this, introduce new exercises into your workouts gradually and allow for a transition period of a few weeks so your muscles can get used to the new exercise.
Deceleration Trauma
Muscles generate force as they shorten and also as they lengthen. The shortening phase of an exercise is called the concentric contraction, while the lengthening phase is called the eccentric contraction. The eccentric contraction causes the greatest muscle microtrauma and therefore has the greatest potential for causing DOMS. Lowering your weights very slowly or running downhill and braking to decelerate are both activities that are likely to cause significant DOMS.
Prevention and Cure of Muscle Soreness
If you have had a prolonged break from exercise or are just starting a new workout routine, some delayed onset muscle soreness is all but inevitable. You can, however, take some steps that may reduce the severity of your discomfort. Always warm up before and cool down after your workout and consider taking a cold bath or alternating hot and cold showers once your workout is complete. Cryotherapy in the form of ice packs applied to sore muscles may also help. Staying active between workouts by walking and performing light exercise can reduce the severity of your soreness.

The little town of Castle Rock, Maine has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over the years, but there is one story that has never been told... until now.
There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974 twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by strong (if time-rusted) iron bolts and zig-zag up the cliffside.
At the top of the stairs, Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground. From a bit farther away comes the chink of an aluminum bat hitting a baseball as the Senior League kids practice for the Labor Day charity game.
One day, a stranger calls to Gwendy: "Hey, girl. Come on over here for a bit. We ought to palaver, you and me."
On a bench in the shade sits a man in black jeans, a black coat like for a suit, and a white shirt unbuttoned at the top. On his head is a small neat black hat. The time will come when Gwendy has nightmares about that hat...
Journey back to Castle Rock again in this chilling new novella by Stephen King, bestselling author of The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, and Richard Chizmar, award-winning author of A Long December. This book will be a Cemetery Dance Publications exclusive with no other editions currently planned anywhere in the world!
First I have to say I looked forward to the release of this book for what felt like forever. I preordered in advance the minute I knew of it's future existence. I couldn't wait to read it and yet when it finally arrived I had too much else going on to start it right away. I did take notice of reviews piling up, most of them positive.. Sometimes when books are hyped to high heaven the reality ends up being a let down because after building it up in your mind so much it can rarely measure up to the expectation. That is NOT the case here.
Gwendy Peterson is a likable 12 year old girl who one day encounters the man in black as she is doing her damnedest to lose some weight as well as rid herself of a nasty nickname before the start of the new school year. She is naturally wary of the stranger, and equally wary of accepting his offering of the mysterious button box, and the secrets and power it holds....
This was such a fun read! If I have any complaints, they would be only some minor historical inaccuracies, and that I wish it had been longer. It spans an entire decade in Gwendy's life and could have been a full novel instead of novella length.

Needlequest Update Post - 10 March 2014
Towards the end of last week, I managed to finish little Hanako 花子 off and here's her face and top bit. I was pleased with this part as I was actually quite scared I was going to mess up the facial features, but they went very smoothly indeed. I was glad that I changed to a strand of sewing cotton for the eye area details though as one strand of embroidery cotton was way too thick and wouldn't have looked anything like as good. It's rather a pity I didn't think to match up the skin tone this way too... Next time.=)
Here are her feet with the little sandals all stitched around to bring them to life more.
Where's the whole piece shot? Well, frankly, you've got the best bits of it here and the photo I took of the whole thing was irretrievably blurred, so I thought you wouldn't mind waiting until I've made her up into a cushion/pillow cover to see the whole thing.=)
On the whole, I'm quite pleased with the piece, although there are certain things I would do differently in order to close up some of the gaps in the piecing and I would also make the obi (belt part) bigger, as it's rather too small. Still, it wasn't half bad for a first attempt at this kind of thing and it's meant to be a learning process, so all's well.=)
So, that's February's needlequest up to date! What about March? Well, as you can imagine, I haven't got very far along as yet, but I have been working with some designing as you can see here. The two butterflies top right are from the Hazel Everett book and I'll work them as closely to her instructions as my thread collection allows. What that means simply is that I mayn't have some of the specialist goldwork threads that she used and so will have to adapt a bit to what's in stock.
The other design is a straight drawing of the design on the front of one of my shampoo bottles (!!!), which I thought would adapt nicely to metallic work and can be made up into a wedding card for our friends' big day in mid July. The design will change, it won't be just as you see here, but I decided to start with as close a copy as I could make of the original and get to adapting it later on.
Here below is the lovely green silk fabric all backed and in the working hoop - just a 4"/10cm one - ready to start. I still need to work out the threads, and even the colours to use, but I need daylight for that. I may have time to start looking at is after I'm finished here, but I'm not sure I'm in the mood just now....
A friend of ours left for a year on a working holiday visa in Taiwan, so I made this into a little leaving card for her.
What about you? Have you fellow challenge participants anything to report and share from your work? If so, please leave a comment on this post and let us all come and admire what you've learned lately.
In a month or so, I'll be asking participants for their thoughts and feedback on the challenge so far, so please get your thinking caps on!=)

Subsequently, it was used in the course of comparative tests where similar products were used for the same purpose.

Mascara is my absolute must have beauty product - something I wear every day without fail. This is why I was so excited to try out Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara after I got a sample with Elle Magazine. Although, I have heard many great things on Twitter and Instagram about Benefit makeup, this was the first of products their I have tried - mainly because they are a little on the pricey side and because nowhere near me seems to sell it without going into the city!
This mascara is based around Velcro hair rollers and although this may sounds strange it means that it will act a little like an eyelash perm that's only temporary. The brush is curved and is smaller than that of any other mascara I have used before - making it perfect for smaller eyes and also to reach all those tiny lashes. The wand also has tiny 'hooks' which grip onto lashes to encourage them to stretch both outwards and upwards, giving the curl you want without the use of eyelash curlers.
Now, the packaging and brush may be novel, but the question is, does this mascara actually work and do what it says? Bit of a tricky one this in all honesty. On my lashes which are quite straight, it did give a slight curl and a bit of uplift but nothing on par with an eyelash curler. I also found that brush didn't really separate lashes that well and I feel that may be because of how small the brush actually is, as it is just a sample size. It does add some length and doesn't seem to flack of or leave lashes 'crispy' any more than any other mascara which is defiantly good. I feel it looked slight better and gave more of a lift and curl the more layers that are applied, but it did increase the amount of lashes that stuck together.
Personally I would prefer it is the colour was a darker black, meaning you wouldn't have to use quite so much. Roller Lash is probably not a mascara that I would go out and spend £19.50 on simply because I don't feel it really did much for my lashes as in curling, volumising and uplifting. However, because of the size of the brush I did find that it worked on my lower lashes and did catch every lash.
|Mascara used on right eye, none on the left
What do you think of Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara?

Being in the U.S. for a few days allows me to see the Somali pirating issues is big news, especially with the capture of Captain Richard Phillips American ship, the exchange of Captain Richard Phillips for the release of his crew, and the final rescue by the U.S. Navy of Captain Richard Phillips who is now safely back home, lauded as a hero. With only one sole survivor among the Somali pirates who captured Phillips' ship, I initially thought it was a mistake for Somali pirates to ever hijack a U.S. ship. But even France has rescued some of its own citizens, recently saving four (including a 3-yr-old boy) on board the hijacked Tanit, a yacht on which one captive was killed. So it's not only the U.S. that is taking strong measures to take its own people back. The question is whether it is enough. Is a deterrent?
The problem has been going on for awhile before it has arisen in prominence in Western media, and there are currently 15-20 ships being currently held by pirates. With 111 attacks in 2008, Somali pirates have attacked more ships than the number in the previous year. Hopefully the number will go down in 2009, but now are unsure.
The lack of a stable government in Somalia is still present, and combined with the busiest shipping lanes in the world, it still creates a environment conducive for such piracy. So it seems any piracy solution must address the instability of government within the country. With such a large sea and tons of suggested solutions, as of now, most ships must resort to defending themselves through the vast area of water in the Gulf of Aden and beyond. But the situation does point to the continued fact that one problem in one part of the world affects us all. And the development, stability, growth, and peace of developing countries do affect us. It is our problem.
The biggest news in Africa, is the South Africa elections. So South African news can have continental importance. In fact, much of the world is watching. The elections were yesterday (Wednesday, the 22nd of April), and Jacob Zuma stands poised to win. By the time I e-mail this, he may already have done so. But why does it matter? South Africa, in a simplistic sense, leads the continent in many ways (economically, militarily, etc.). Why would people prefer he not be president?
Well, when apartheid ended, we thought things would immediately get better. But the "new South Africa" vision gave way to realism. We've seen many societal indicators and statistics go in the wrong direction. For instance, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened. Unemployment is extremely high (I've seen projected figures as high as 40%). And though I talk much about such statistics worsening, a lot of good has been done: 2.7 million houses have been built since 1994 (though we need much more), 60% of 5.7 million HIV-infected people are taking anti-retrovirals, welfare is given to over 12 million people (it was 3 million in 1996), etc. So some things are improving, but the task is completely overwhelming and there is so much more work to do. The question is will it continue with Zuma is he fit to lead.
People are worried about him because of corruption (remember those charges were only dropped because the National Prosecuting Authority [NPA] felt the timing of the charges were politically motivated) and competence (he is very popular but is he savvy or intelligent enough to lead well; remember the HIV fiasco after sleeping with a girl who considered his niece and claiming he's ok because he showered afterwards?). Here is an article on the elections from which I got a few of the statistics above:
Perhaps the most important thing for him to welcome is actual opposition. Having a multiplicity of heard voices is crucial for a democracy, and right now it's one-party rule for the most part. I do believe in 5 years the ANC may have viable opposition, but for Wednesday's election this week, not yet.
And as of today (Sunday), he's won.

The Good Ones: Valkyrie Drive Mermaid
You know, in retrospect, we probably should have expected a yuri series made by the Senran Kagura guy was going to be gross. In fairness, the show has a lot of expected gross, and a lot of genuinely amazing content (Lady Lady holy shit), but it kept look at its foot and thinking "I think what this foot really needs to be is swiss cheese, the worst of the common cheeses, and also I should go kick a puppy and steal candy from children." The sheer amount of terrible decisions in this show stops being that surprising when you realize the writers had brought up a bunch of sensitive queer topics, but their knowledge of queer topics goes about as far as "girls making out is pretty good."
For the record, they're not wrong on that point, but there's really a lot of basic shit they should have gone over. The biggest issue is the complete mishandling of a female character pretending to be a man, but even basic stuff like "hey how about not having men rape lesbians in backstory" was shockingly ignored. Like, okay fine, I can accept the implication that something happened in this flash back you showed up. But maybe not include a scene early in the series where a villain forces a main character to relive a traumatic experience where she was gang raped and have her break from the illusion because she's been through it before and is therefore cool.
There's so much wrong with this series, but you can go check out my seasonal reviews for more info. For now, I want to focus on the stuff that actually worked, mainly the characters. Say what you will about the man who once packaged a game with a panty scented strap, him and his people get how to write diverse and compelling characters, even when they're initially based around a fetish.
Meifon Sakura
Like, if she could have sex with money, she would.
Most everyone in this series is either a Liberator or a Extar, the former necessary to cause the latter to turn into a powerful weapon via making out. Yes I know, please just accept this because things are only going to get weirder. Take Meifon, who is indeed a Liberator, but has no Extar. Her sexuality is never confirmed in the series, but I think this is only because any of the main sexualities gets overwritten by her being a HUGE timophiliac (aka would like to have sex with money). She loves money so much that money is her Extar. She cam make a superpowered robot suit with money. I'm dead serious. She's such a weasel and a great bit of comedic relief, and she plays a similar Nanael role of being the odd woman out commenting on the weirdness before her (and that's a lot of weirdness). Granted, she's sexually attracted to money and wears a cowgirl outfit while apparently being Chinese, so maybe she's not one to talk.
Rain Hasumi & Lady J
I'm sure may people who have seen this show will wonder why the pair of Lady Lady only get a regular entry. I was surprised as you are. Rain and Lady J are two rebels on Mermaid Island, and also total lesbians. Like, I know that's true for most everyone in this show, but it goes triple for them. They flaunt how into each other they are, all while dressing in the loudest ways imaginable. Rain wears a leather biker fetish suit, sunglasses and has a single red streak in her hair, while Lady J has the most underboob that anyone has ever have ever. I have no idea how her outfit stays together most of the time.
On an island of shy schoolgirls and gross, predatory women only interested in power, these two stick out for how much they clearly trust each other, so much so that Lady J has no problem when Rain steals a kiss from Mirei when they first introduce themselves to her and Mamori. I'm willing to bet they've made out with half of the island, in fact. The two are a bit like Charlotte, a woman who has an entire harem of lesbians, but they also manage to likable and engaging characters in the process. Where Charlotte is a vain, angry idiot who's the root cause of most every horrible thing in this series for no good reason whatsoever, Lady Lady help out others when they have the time while working on a larger goal to help everyone on the island, all while having some of the nastiest make-out sessions the island has ever seen in front of everyone, and remember, superpowers on this island activate with nasty make-out sessions. Theirs are just that much nastier. I actually have trouble believing these two actually exist sometimes because THEY'RE SO GAY. LIKE, SO GAY.
Also Lady J turns into a motorcycle with titties.
Momoka Sagara
After Mirei was sent to Mermaid, Momoka became the subject of human experimentation and got incredible powers she doesn't need a liberator to activate. But a whole mess of terrible things also happened to her, and she blames Mirei entirely for abandoning her and refusing to kill soldiers that tried to hurt her. The end result is a very messed up girl who can absorb the life out of other extars and liberators to make herself stronger, and an enthusiasm to do so as much as possible. Causing pain and suffering is really all she has left, and the sheer amount of damage she causes in her pursuit of making everyone else as miserable as her actually manages to verge on horrifying. She's just one Hell of a great villain.
Kasumi Shigure
She was pretty close to being the best character overall, honestly. She's very sympathetic and makes for one of the best antagonists in the series, a tragic rival just trying to do right by her sister and everyone else, but stuck in a situation where she can't really do that. Her blind devotion to Akira, whom saved her and her sister, doesn't help either, making her partly responsible for Waerter's more questionable actions. Despite this, she's the first one to realize that Momoka is bad news, and she manages to redeem herself in the finale. If anyone in this show deserved a happy ending, it's definitely her.
Best Character: Mirei Shikishima
If you're wondering where Mamori, one of the leads, is, I didn't include her for being terrible. I could rant for a year about how awful a character she is, I swear, but thankfully her better half saves things a bit. Mirei is by far the best character in this show, no contest. You know. Despite that one episode. The one that implied she was sexually assaulted by a bunch of soldiers in order to make her look cooler. I'm dead serious. This is a creative decision the staff of this show had. Major reason Valkyrie Drive Mermaid is terrible.
But hey! Mirei is still good!
Mirei was apart of the same organization as Momoka, and also lived the opposite sort of life to the sheltered Mamori. Where a Mamori had a loving family, Mirei was raised as a child soldier and was experimented upon to give her enchanted strength and agility. However, she was unable to take a life, so she was deemed worthless and was going to be destroyed, until a scientist who felt pity for her managed to smuggle her to Mermaid. Mirei's humanity is the reason Momoka lost hers, and Mirei herself didn't really have any purpose to continue on until she met and fell in love with Mamori. Her back story is solid, but it's her day to day interactions with the cast that make her great.
Mamori is a people person, able to converse with most anyone in her own graceless way. Mirei, however, starts off incredibly mistrustful, then is simply unable to communicate with others properly because she never learned how. Despite how terrible a character Mamori is (WHY DOES SHE INSTANTLY GET A CRUSH ON THE ONLY MAN ON THE ISLAND SERIOUSLY WHY WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS), she is ultimately good for Mirei's growth, and her influence eventually gives Mirei the strength to confront and help Momoka. The show is basically Mirei's, despite Mamori acting as narrator. She's the one who truly grows as a person and as a hero, and what Mamori managed to awaken in her eventually resolves Mamori as well. Add in the great character design, and Mirei is a shining gem surrounded by a swamp of hetero-lens homosexuality.
Most Amazing Character: Nimi Minimi
This girl is why Lady Lady didn't get a higher honor. Nimi Minimi is, get this, an Extar with the power to grow giant, and yes, that is her real name. She is even dimmer than Mamori and very, very naked at most all times because what can you make a giant wear anyways? She gets her own weird episode where she can't find a way to shrink back down as everyone keeps suggesting bad ideas and makes her imagine the worst case scenarios where the Japanese military hunt her down as a kaiju. This all eventually leads to her storming into Waerter to find her partner, in where she knocks Charlotte away with her giant, vainy tit, which I sadly cannot show you, but it's a moment I will never forget for as long as I live.
The best part? She comes back for the finale. And thank god for that. I'd be pissed if you didn't bring back the 50-ft ditzy schoolgirl. She's seriously one of the dumbest ideas anyone has ever had and I'm so glad they didn't shoot that idea down. And they named her Nimi Minimi. Maybe there is hope for humanity.

Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)
Certain our focus right now out of football green and gold analyst Paul inmate Paul argument. Tim are doing very well and because you are mister brewer died after that out but I am for the baseball you'd start and it didn't complete sincerity. I cannot put her baseball map we opus and start. Now mandates do and it's assists as a fun time here they made a couple of foot cuts if you will today. For instance on court Dowell and Phillips all headed over to the minor league side now that. It doesn't mean they won't play in a in a cactus league game often times they'll go back over and same active we might need a couple of additional outfielders but let's get to football a little bit Paul limit let me ask you this. In the and watch the Packers season and I know that the signing of Davone outside and often when. Is that you know make a sweeping. Statement to say that that's gonna fix the idea defensive secondaries but. It can't hurt can it. What Nike give them better and that's an eight and not mention that somebody who might only a on a one year deal and he already knows the system. Knows how to work with chill wit the course coat note of course Dom Capers defense likes. Dom Capers defense a lot because Yvonne had a chance and myself and bill. With a have been Tuesday of this week in one of the first things you mentioned as. Hey if you want to strive on to eat Kraft may need to be I got you have to let me eat. If you let me be at which Jacksonville and 2015. He had a very good year as they catching up the system a little bit with the Jaguars and points sixteen. And it wasn't at that that what we're gonna work for him so. Provide an opportunity that if Randall or Rollins Oregon or struggle. You have a veteran guard there I think you also get the benefit and abundance in this is well though and I. Mentioning how he can pass what Charles wood and caught in the stands you know than what c'mon William. You know some of those guys that you know if you're Gunter and Randall and Rollins. You all kind of came together it all and enter their third season. And yet I had sand shields per year and of course that's as a conquered them one really around the team because of the concussion issues. You know made just let veteran presence alone but it could only and that you know one year net to opt out of and that being. You know the savior of the quarterback group I think there's a lot of value to especially for the Packers only have into and that's the one year and and and kind of played by here there. He I agree with you I think it's it's cover in your flank a little bit and and does this make sense. I feel this is just my thought that I feel the defensive secondaries. For the Green Bay Packers. It's taken a lot of undue grief now I'm not saying that they played well but I what I am saying is that. They're injured. And they're young. I'm. They're not going to be all pros and world beaters when you're injured in your young Nam vets in there good. I'm just saying that let's hold off a little bit as these guys approached or third year. I I do agree actually I think departed I don't know when it when a second year player with the customary it's Randall and quick laugh when you've been at the examples is. It's most appropriate. When Oakland coming in their sport in the big roll really really big role or second year even if they had a completely healthy even. That's a lot to ask I know they were first and second round picks respectively I get it old guy we're gonna have. More on their plate and the supposed to he'll handle it because of the investment that the team makes with such an early round pick. But that's a lot to ask that comes for me that's more down the roster. Not Mormeck front office issue. That you would be in a spot that okay unseal the court in anticipating and getting the first week a week one. Concussion I'll keep him out for the year but there was no backup plan at that point it was a Gunter Randall and Rollins. You are the three guys don't deal with it. And then you add on top of that the Nittany an actual course that most guys on the clock either they get hurt especially in the case of Randall and Rollins not punter. And ended on non roster and big broke and you're trying to play hoops and there's nobody behind stepped in. Which you not being able to be out there. So I I don't fault players in that situation I mean if they were overture it out on the front office if they were thrust in the rule that they were ready for. That's on the front office. I think we would if you're talking a year ago about a lot Adam. I don't know how many people believed he would turn out to be a really good football player but to our camp that are really good they're so sure you know of course. And let's just let's just say what they. Randall or Rollins become a very good player and the other stuff like let's say in two years one of them is gone and done and he's the lead again but it's not the only good player. Flip a coin parents' this year what do what at that happened that he would success at the end of the day that you referred to pick and you're out what one really good player I think it would. And I think it's a comes out which one of them did and that being people become really good players it's a bonus you know but. If you really look back across draft classes in the crossed position groups. You know for them both to become. Really good players probably aren't likely and that's that's what to do on how acquisitions help. That's worked under being the unsuspecting guy who two years and has been better as an undrafted player that at the concert. What are the two guys who were selected you know much much much much much better than then though. It's a unique spot in. I wouldn't be surprised knowledge at least one of them had a really big comes back you're like what about him it's their. Yup gimbal little chance ball McCutcheon short year as we are super bee busy year it. At Maryville baseball park but the yeah you're right two weeks out I can't way and I appreciate that time right. Aren't good. The areas ball in Vega our green and gold analysts here on the bill Michaels show.

Lyles was just dropped in my 16 team dynasty league and I want to pick him up.
My team:
C-Olivo, Soto
1B-Votto, LaPorta
2B-Utley, Espinosa
SS-Castro, D Gordon
OF-Joyce, Stubbs, McCutchen, Beltran, Brown, Jennings, Harper
SP-Hanson, Bumgarner, Zimmerman, Kennedy, Chacin, Peavy
RP-Salas,Storen, Venters, Sale
I've been trying to acquire a SP in trade but it's like pulling teeth in this league. I'm leaning towards dropping either LaPorta, Soto, or Sale. I don't really want to drop Sale since it's a dynasty. Soto seems to dissapoint every year. And I'm not sure we will ever see the 30+ homer LaPorta we were supposed to.
Is Lyles worth dropping either of these guys or do I stand pat?

Indonesia is known for is it tropical island Bali. When it popped up in my south-east Asia itinerary, i looked forward to seeing this famous island with its paradise images . Being a wanderer I wanted to get there off the beaten path by traveling through Java, the locals way .
I flew in from Manila, Philippines to Jakarta, the bustling capital of Indonesia, which I intended to use as the starting point for my adventures through to Bali. After a two-hour exhaustive journey through the streets of Jakarta, I finally arrived at my pre-booked accommodation which could have taken less than thirty minutes to find but the language barrier between the rather impatient driver and myself, however, had led to a tiring detour.//giphy.com/embed/l2SqcGRgYs16EZxe0
I had initially thought it was only the driver I was 'lost in translation' with but my three-day stay in Jakarta brought me face to face with people who were trying to understand what I was saying and me being smiley face and kept replying their Bahasa with 'English please '. Google translator did come in handy most times but sometimes it just translates differently and I have to let out nervous smiles to the rather awkward situation of a language barrier.//giphy.com/embed/hKNPxrffFH0GY
Reading travel websites gave the implication that Jakarta had nothing to offer but my three days and two nights stay wouldn't be spent in my room because some websites say so. I managed to gain advise from locals on couch surfing who recommended some pretty amazing things I should see but only picked the ones I took an interest in.
The next day I spent most of my time trying to understand the little English some kind locals manage to get across. Asking for help to find a place from a local turned out to be the longest form of inquiry to my disappointment, but I couldn't blame them but just patiently wait for them to help. I was told the most convenient and cheapest way of travel was a motorcycle and coming from a stereotypical African home, where it was seen as a ride straight to death , I avoided it. Instead I headed for the taxis which I wish I hadn't as I was stuck in traffic in a very hot weather. I only sat rolling my eyes and blaming myself for not sucking up the fear and opting for the motorcycle. //giphy.com/embed/Fjr6v88OPk7U4
Of the recommendations and the must see ,I visited the kota tua or old town bativa which is a historically significant part of Jakarta. It had cobbled central town square with many cafes around. Colonial buildings dating back to the Dutch era where you could sip on a coffee in one of the cafes and take in the immense historical surroundings or hire a bike for a ride through it. It felt like a town out of those colonial movies with its architecture.
I also went on to visit the Monas tower which is one of the most famous monument in Jakarta I didn't want to miss. It is the symbol of independence of Indonesia from Dutch colonial rule. Being a history enthusiastic I usually find such monuments fascinating. It stands tall and proud with history signifying the freedom of the Indonesian people.
On my last day in Jakarta I decided to see the taman mini Indonesia indah. This was the highlight of my stay in Jakarta as it was the most beautiful work of art I have ever seen. As Indonesia is made of its 17,000 islands split into 26 provinces it is nearly impossible to visit all of it .
The taman mini is a mini Indonesia in a form of art on a stretch of land highlighting all its islands and provinces.The park is arranged according to province with models of traditional homes where one can learn about the diverse culture and ways of life across the archipelago. Now isn't that something to see!
I then bought a train ticket at a convenience store heading to Yogyakarta another province of Indonesia. I was pretty much excited to see this side of the country as its known as the cultural part with much to see. I had planned on staying for two nights then continue my trip onward. I booked a hostel where I met up with backpackers who had same itineraries like me so it was much more fun and cost less than I anticipated.
Our first detour was to see the famous Borobudur temple which is a Buddhist temple dating back to the 9th century and the worlds largest temple. It was rumored to have the most beautiful sunset and sunrise views but due to the long trip in getting there we arrived at midday. Even seeing it at daytime had enough beauty to feed the eye that we didn't mind that we lost the sunrise.
One thing I will describe Yogyarkata with is that is a haven for temples. We headed over to see the Pramadan temple which is a Hindu temple and one of the biggest in southeast Asia. It has Hindu architecture and a UNESCO heritage center. My new friends and I who happen to have a thing for architecture were amazed by its beauty and the stretch of land it covers.
One my last day in Yogarkata where I was parting ways with lemfze my new-found photogenic friend we headed over to some not so popular places among the locals to take in the waves of the ocean and the night view of Yogyarkata.
My two night stay in Yogyarkata was over and I had to move on to my next location through another train ride…. the locals way. .

5 of the best non-business books to inspire your life and career
Sometimes, the greatest wisdom can be found in the most obscure places. For instance, some of the best career advice you'll ever get is from books shelved far away from the business section of your local bookstore.
For example:
See Gallery
While conventional leadership and business books are great for expanding your mind as a professional, sometimes you need a good non-business book to provide you with a fresh perspective on the world. A great deal of growing as a professional involves maturing as an individual, so don't be afraid to curl up with an unconventional book to help you expand your horizons.

Every two years, Vevey broadcasts to the world why it is called the "City of Images". A renowned photography school, a camera museum and Charlie Chaplin's presence in the last 20 years of his life, has energised the lakeside city into adopting a label that it defends with pride.
Entitled IMAGES, the city's photography festival attracts photographers from around the world. They like the idea of presenting their work in an open-air museum. Throughout Vevey, startling outdoor exhibitions stop pedestrians in their tracks, huge billboards cast their shadows on hurried crowds, window shops are dressed with portraits and even the waterways are sliced with photos.
The following gallery by swissinfo.ch's photo editor, Christoph Balsiger, adds an additional layer to how we look at photography. Through his lens, we discover how contexts cans transform or transfigure our appreciation of an image, giving it a significance that we might not have perceived had it shot across our screen.

Dear Ella,
Patti and I have been together for six years, and even though we don't live together, we know each other very well. Patti keeps everything bottled up inside and it ends up spilling out at inappropriate times about ridiculous things.
We met late in life, after our kids were grown. She is divorced and I am a widower. This past month, something major happened in her relationship with her daughter and she won't talk to me about it. This is just one example of many. Patti is very emotional and gets quiet, yet she loves just being close. She says I make her feel safe and comfortable, but her actions show otherwise. I love her and want to help. How can I get her to change?
Trust The One You Love
Dear Trust The One You Love,
If we could change the things about our loved ones to suit our own preferences, the divorce rate would drop like a lead balloon.
People often try to change, but success rates of sustaining that change are low. Sure, we can change some things for a while, but often, with time and comfort, we tend to slip back to our old habits.
However, the type of change you're talking about is more about Patti's core or personality. She was probably always an emotional, quiet, private person and that's part of who she is. She is comfortable with you. Don't push her to try to change who she is. You fell in love with this woman as a whole, leave her that way. When and if she is ready to talk about her situation, I'm sure you will be the first person she will confide in. In the meantime, you are doing just fine.
If, however, it is affecting your relationship to the point where you are both unhappy, consider counselling.
How about trying a different approach? Try to alter your perception of the situation rather than trying to control her reaction to what has occurred, be it with her daughter or a different situation. Be her sounding board or her pillar to lean on. Either way, you have more power and control to change your own response than you do to change Patti's personality.
Dear Ella,
My husband is getting worse with age. He has always been squeamish when it came to discussing any type of medical problem. He has major anxiety before he goes to a doctor, because the thought of drawing blood is nauseating to him, and it is not unheard of for him to faint. I never realized how bad he was until I got pregnant. Every time he came to my appointments with me, he would turn white as a sheet and beads of sweat would appear on his forehead. We laughed and made fun of him, but it's now no laughing matter as he ages and medical things are happening more often. He refuses to discuss it and thinks it will go away if he ignores it. Any thoughts on how I can approach this with him?
It's Only Getting Worse
Dear It's Only Getting Worse,
Most of us know someone who is squeamish when it comes to medical procedures. There is actually a name for the condition you've described: vasovagal syncope. According to the Mayo Clinic website, it occurs when the part of your nervous system that regulates heart rate and blood pressure malfunctions in response to a trigger, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress.
If it is interfering in your lives, go see a doctor (promise your husband there will be no needles) and have the discussion about how to treat this. There are medications and therapies that may help.
As we age, everything becomes more pronounced. If you're a worrier, you worry more. If you're anxious, chances are you'll become more anxious. Stay young by trying new things. Exercise and push yourself out of your comfort zone just a little bit. Focus on the positive.

According to the ruling, We conclude that the governments colorable allegations that the lack of an orderly transition in policy will produce immediate harm and precipitous injury are convincing. We also conclude that the public interest in ensuring orderly change of this magnitude in the military if that is what is to happen strongly militates in favor of a stay.
The recent ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is in response to an objection filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in October after Judge Phillips rejected the federal governments stay request to halt her order enforcing her decision.
The Justice Department defended its stay request asserting that the military requires sufficient time to implement the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell in such a way that it would not cause confusion or uncertainty.
Tom Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, asserted, Its only logical that a stay should be granted to avoid the confusion that is already occurring with reports that the Pentagon is telling recruiters to begin accepting homosexual applications.
However, in Phillips rejection, she contended, Defendants merely conclude, without explanation, that confusion and uncertainty will result if the injunction remains in place. Thus, defendants have failed to establish they are likely to suffer irreparable injury if a stay is not granted.
Judge Phillips also declared that safeguarding constitutional rights outweighed the governments unproven concerns of the orders impact on military readiness and unit cohesion.
Likewise, in Judge Phillips September 9 ruling, October 13 injunction, and October 19 rejection of the federal governments stay request, she declared Don't Ask, Don't Tell to be in violation of due process and freedom of speech of homosexual military men and women.
Charles Rice, professor emeritus at the University of Notre Dame law school, called Judge Phillips assertions an example of tyranny of the judiciary, in an interview with The New American. He added, The very idea that don't ask, don't tell is unconstitutional is absurd.
Immediately following Phillips rejection of the governments stay request, the Justice Department filed objections asserting that the federal government should be afforded a reasonable amount of time to consider the terms of the injunction and to move for an appropriate stay before an injunction is made effective. A court should not compel the Executive to implement an immediate cessation of the 17-year-old policy without regard for any effect such an abrupt change might have on the military's operations, particularly at a time when the military is engaged in combat operations.
The 9th Circuit Appeals ruling contends that the federal government does in fact require time to create a smooth transition.
The writers of the ruling also contend that current pending legislation would likely make the final determination, as the House of Representatives has already passed a repeal provision, while the Senate is expected to consider similar legislation during the lame-duck session in the form of the military defense authorization bill one that failed to pass due to the inclusion of such controversial provisions as this.
Regardless of the pending legislation, in response to the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling, the Log Cabin Republicans is expected to appeal to the full 9th Circuit appellate court or make an emergency application directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Dan Woods, legal representative for the Log Cabin Republicans, asserts that the appeal will continue and has not rejected the possibility of seeking emergency relief from the Supreme Court. We will continue to fight on for the constitutional rights of these Americans and look forward to a favorable decision on the merits of the appeal," said Woods. "Meanwhile, we will discuss the courts order with our client to determine whether we will ask for a review of the order by the U.S. Supreme Court.
While gay rights groups are disappointed, they expected such flip-flopping on Judge Phillips ruling. Even after Judge Phillips rejected the governments request to halt her order enforcing her decision on October 19, military recruiters warned recruits that the policy could be reinstated at any time and warned service members to keep their sexual orientations to themselves. Similarly, gay rights groups encouraged military service members to withhold revealing their sexual orientations until a more permanent decision is made.
While military officials have encouraged the government to take no action with Don't Ask, Don't Tell until the completion of an official Pentagon review, President Barack Obama intends to repeal the policy.
According to CNN, The case puts Obama's administration in an unusual position of supporting a repeal but filing court motions to prevent it from happening faster than planned.

Woo, it's my first post here ever!
I really love listening to podcasts, often while I'm animating away. Talking to people and building websites are not strong points of mine so getting my own podcast going has been but a fantasy for some time. Recently I got really inspired by a few events and decided I'd give it a shot! I'd love to discuss animation as well as any form of art as well as juggling life with being a full time artist. Every artist has a different path and I've love to hear and share experiences. Who doesn't love a big dose of inspiration? Podcasts, coming soon!

His Court of Honor is scheduled for Sunday, April 22, at 1:30 p.m. at St. Louis Catholic Church.
To become an Eagle Scout, a scout needs to complete more than 25 badges, implement a community service project, and appear before a district board of review.
Millner has worked his way through the scout ranks from Tiger Scout up to eagle. In the summer of 1999, he worked at Cuyuna Scout Camp teaching merit badges.
Paynesville has had more than 15 Eagle Scouts, including Leo Louis, Lyle Wendroth. Loren Wendroth, Larry Wendroth, Gary Wagner, Jared Morris, Mike Klein, Scott Morris, Mike Putzke, Eric Werlinger, David Scheierl, Jeff Skrypek, Ryan Louis, Casey Meagher, Jamie Gilk, and Scott Ingalsbe.
In looking for a project, Millner approached Bertha Zniewski, curator of the Paynesville Area Historical Museum, in the spring of 1999. Leo Louis, a board member of the historical society, suggested Millner develop a 90 by 100-foot area of native prairie wildflowers. This had been a project the historical society had wanted since it moved to its present location along Highway 23. The historical society had been putting up a prairie scene and the wild prairie grass and flowers complement the exhibit.
After getting the paper work started for his project, Millner stopped all work because he felt he was doing it for all the wrong reasons, as something that would look good on scholarship applications.
"I pondered all winter whether I should finish what I started or drop the project," Millner said. "At that point, I had no intention of completing the project."
It wasn't until Millner discussed his reasons for not moving forward with the project with Louis that he changed his mind. "I didn't feel worthy to be an Eagle," Millner said. That conversation with Louis and his girlfriend's encouragement helped convince him to complete his Eagle project.
"I found out that after I did some of the work, it really wasn't as hard as I made it out to be. There were a lot of people willing to help me," Millner said.
With the help of the Boy Scouts, Millner prepared the ground for planting of the prairie grass and wildflowers last summer.
Leo and Adrian Louis helped Millner select and order wildflower and grass seeds. Among the wildflowers planted were prairie sage, goldenrod, blackeyed susans, and coneflowers.
Another part of his project included erecting a windmill.
Louis and Mike Bennett welded angle irons and steel disks to the bottom of the windmill to help anchor the tower. A tractor and loader were used to raise the windmill upright.
Millner is looking forward to seeing the flowers bloom this spring. He has already noticed the winter weather took its toll on the windmill. It isn't standing as straight as it should be and will need to be straightened.
Millner believes this project has, in a sense, made him grow up. "I found out things don't get done until we are willing to do them," he said.
Millner is the son of Donald and Mary Millner, Paynesville.
In addition to scouting, Millner is active in the band and marching band. He is also a member of the chess club and German club at school.
For the past three years, Millner has gone on mission trips to Guatemala and plans to return again someday. He has been in karate for more than nine years and has started helping teach younger students.
After graduation, Millner will be joining the Army Reserve as an intrepreter in its special forces division.

work is lush and rich with beauty, darkness, and sensuality. More than almost
anyone else whom I have ever read, Tanith's work sounds like it was meant to be
read aloud, perhaps while huddled around a fire in the dark forest or in the
quiet and still air within an ancient temple."
Jeremy Brett, (Cushing Memorial Library & Archives,
Texas A&M University)
Lee wrote fifteen stories for the acclaimed US genre magazine 'Realms of
Fantasy', which ran from 1994 to 2009 and was founded and edited by her close
friend, Shawna McCarthy. Venus Burning: Realms collects all these
stories in one volume for the first time, some of which only ever appeared in
the magazine and will therefore be new to some of Tanith's fans.
stories in this collection are among her best work, in which Tanith takes myth
and fairy tale tropes and turns them on their heads. You might find fantasy
swordsmen (Woman in Scarlet), vampires (Israbel), werewolves (Moonblind),
dragons (The Children of his Old Age), ghostly dolls (Doll Skulls) and tales
reminiscent of the Arabian Nights (I Bring You Forever), but these are nothing
like stories of those genres you've read before. Lush and lyrical, deep and
literary, Tanith Lee created fresh poignant tales from familiar archetypes.
This book also includes three previously uncollected stories from her Flat
Earth mythos.
published fifteen of Tanith Lee's brilliant works. All of those wonderful,
mystical, gorgeous, glorious stories are in this volume, and I'm so glad that
Immanion Press is sharing them with new (and old) readers."

Have your say on concept design for proposed Scone bypass and strategic options for town centre rail bridge
15 December 2015
Michael Johnsen MP, Member for Hunter today invited members of the Scone community to provide feedback on the concept design and environmental assessment for the proposed New England Highway bypass and the strategic options for a town centre rail bridge.
Mr Johnsen said the community could have a say on the Australian and NSW government funded bypass and town centre rail bridge which aims to improve traffic flow, travel times and safety for road users.
"Roads and Maritime Services has carried out an environmental assessment for the proposed bypass to assess the potential environmental and social impacts of the proposal and identify activities to manage and mitigate them," Mr Johnsen said.
"The investigations found the bypass would not significantly impact the environment if appropriate measures were in place.
"Strategic options have been developed for a town centre rail bridge proposed at one of three locations, Kelly, St Aubins or Sherwood streets."
People can attend drop-in sessions on Thursday 21 January between 3pm and 7pm, Thursday 4 February between 3pm and 7pm and Friday 5 February between 10am and 2pm at the Scone Motor Inn to speak with the project team.
"The environmental assessment and project update will be available from Tuesday 15 December to view or download at www.rms.nsw.gov.au/projects," Mr Johnsen said.
"The environmental assessment for the bypass can be seen weekdays from 9am to 4pm at Upper Hunter Shire Council. Copies of the project update detailing the concept design for the bypass and the strategic options for the town centre rail bridge are also available.
"Feedback is invited by 19 February 2016 and will be considered when finalising the concept design and environmental assessment.
"Our local community and stakeholders will be kept informed during the planning process to help identify issues and minimise potential impacts of the proposed bypass and town centre rail bridge."
More information is also available at www.rms.nsw.gov.au.
