Parking Meter Rates To Increase In St. Louis; Smartphone Payment Method Rollout Begins By Camille Phillips • Nov 13, 2014 Joseph Leahy / St. Louis Public Radio The cost of on-street parking in St. Louis will go up in July.

Commentary: Downtown St. Louis doesn't need more parking By Matthew Mourning • Sep 19, 2008 This article first appeared in the St. Louis Beacon: September 19, 2008 - In an automobile-friendly city such as St. Louis, it's difficult to argue with developers -- or the city -- and contend that parking is too abundant. But to be a walkable, pedestrian-friendly city, a curb is needed on the introduction of new parking to the once-dense central corridor of St. Louis. This includes parking garages.

Barbar R. Faught Memorial Scholarship for Elementary Student Teachers
About the Sponsor
After living, working and raising a family in the Northwest and Hawaii, Bill Faught and his wife Barbara moved to Sacramento in their later years. Though neither was a Sacramento State alum, the Faught's, both life-long learners, were drawn to the campus. The relationship grew initially from Mr. Faught doing volunteer work in Sac State's career placement center, helping prepare students for the world of work. Their involvement grew when both Mr. and Mrs. Faught became involved in the arts program through the University Library. The experience proved so positive, Mr. Faught engaged several members of his River's Edge retirement community to get involved with the Library arts program. In addition, Mr. Faught has participated in Sac State's Renaissance Society, promoting learning in retirement. He has also audited classes on campus.
In the summer of 2006, when Mr. Faught lost his loving wife of 64 years, he wanted to do something special to honor her memory and celebrate a life well-lived. He turned to Sac State, trusting his "adopted" university to help him carry out his desire to ensure a lasting legacy. Mrs. Faught had a lifelong passion for teaching. She had grown up in very difficult circumstances, working through a special nursing degree program because she could not afford the education required to become a teacher at the time. Even after marrying, raising two children, and working as a nurse wherever Mr. Faught's sales and marketing career in the computer industry took them, Mrs. Faught never gave up on her dream of becoming a teacher.
At age 40, Mrs. Faught earned her master's degree at Whitworth College and her teaching credential at Gonzaga University. She was finally able to carry out her dream of becoming a teacher and taught second grade for the next ten years. Mrs. Faught's decade of teaching service made her eligible for a retirement pension, which she put away into a savings account.
After her death, Mr. Faught and their two adult children, Eileen and Bill III, decided to honor Mrs. Faught in the best way they knew. Working with Sac State's development office and using the money Mrs. Faught saved from her teaching pension, they established the Barbara R. Faught Memorial Scholarship Endowment for Elementary Student Teachers at Sacramento State. This wonderful and lasting tribute will assist students with financial need who are working toward their credential as elementary school teachers. Thanks to the Faught family's generosity and their connection with Sacramento State, Mrs. Faught's passion for teaching will live on through the careers of future teachers and the children they educate.
- Minimum 3.0 GPA
- Limited to students accepted or enrolled in the multiple subject teaching credential program
- Financial need may be considered but not required
- May be enrolled full or part time
- Must be enrolled at leat half time at time of award

Business leaders from across the state have announced their support for Northern Pass. In a joint statement to the Site Evaluation Committee, the diverse group of New Hampshire businesses, including some of the state's largest employers, urged elected officials to join them as they support the Forward NH Plan and the "$3.8 billion in direct economic and unparalleled environmental benefits it will provide to the people and businesses of New Hampshire."
At a recent Public Hearing in Deerfield, Mark Bailey of BAE Systems spoke on behalf of the 50 business leaders from across the state, announcing their joint support for Northern Pass. Mr. Bailey applauded the project, saying it will "provide unmistakably clear benefits to New Hampshire by bringing low-cost electricity directly to the state's residents and businesses, creating hundreds of jobs, and providing millions in tax revenue."
Local businesses are growing more concerned about the high cost of doing business in New Hampshire and the economic disadvantages they are facing compared to other states. The joint statement encourages the SEC to conduct a "thorough, timely, and fact-based review" of the project since New Hampshire citizens and businesses "cannot afford to wait any longer."

Yesterday I was thinking about this whole election thing and was deciding that I needed to get back to my roots of speaking out on racism and the racist establishment, and a bit of child activism in there. But when I heard Sarah Palin trying to destroy what it means to be a community organizer, I just couldn't let that go by without some sort of complaint.
She tries to play up the whole Mayor of a town that has fewer occupants in it than my neighborhood. She should be ashamed of herself. But of course she is not, because that is how people like her are, proud of their ignorance. She downplays the role of a community organizer even though we now know that she was forced to hire an administrator to run her government due to incompetence and the threat of a recall campaign. So maybe she should go easy on the "me have experience, you low community organizer person."
Maybe she should have thought about this before attacking and belittling community organization to make her pittance of real experience look like she actually ran the country. The fact that she wouldn't even be on that damn stage had it not been for the community organizers who organized the suffrage movement. But I guess that really isn't all that important to a woman who is running for VP. Or the fact that women wouldn't even be in the workforce had it not been for community organizers getting them together and raising hell. Remember that little thing called the feminist or women's rights movement?
How about the fact that blacks would still be slaves if community organizers hadn't pulled together to raise awareness of the evil of this institution? How about the fact that blacks wouldn't even be allowed to chase the American dream as she is doing let alone come into the building to watch her jackass make a fool of herself insulting community organizers? But then again we know that the population of blacks is so low in Alaska she probably could care less if they were allowed into the hall to watch her slap their accomplishments in the face. She can stand at her podium grandstanding as if she is some worldly leader.
A nice little African proverb for her is that a single bracelet won't jingle. They sit in their little convention and praise people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. both of whom were those pitiful community organizers that they find so funny and sorry. It is interesting that before putting the speech together they didn't bother to actually find out what a community organizer does and how they don't collect money to help people. I guess to McCain and Palin the only time a person deserves their help is if they are getting paid or have a bunch of power behind it that they can abuse.
The facts are that community organizers are on the ground getting the things that these two fools fail to get done, done. And according to the community organization website this UNPAID job entails: Community organizing is a long-term approach where the people affected by an issue are supported in identifying problems and taking action to achieve solutions.
The organizer challenges those he or she works with to change the way things are—it is a means of achieving social change through collective action by changing the balance of power. The tactics and strategies employed by the organizer are similar to the processes of leadership including timing the issue, deliberate planning, getting the attention of the populace, framing the issue in terms of the desired solution, and shaping the terms of the decision-making process.
But if the Republicans had it their way they would have us believe that a community organizer is someone who sits on the stoop, drinking a forty oz. laughing and joking with the people as they pass by. Or maybe they just think it is what Sarah Palin did while in the PTA, sitting around shooting the breeze with the other parents. But to those of us, who know, perform these duties and rely on these people it is a lot more than some friendly person who just wants to sit and chat about your day and that of your kid or family.
The GOP got it way wrong on this one and I for one hope that this stupid statement comes back to bite them and her in their collective BUTT like a pitbull with or without lipstick. And so I ask Sarah Palin and supporters, community organizers the world over have had to face life or death opposition to their positions, what life or death opposition have you faced?

The Bureau of Land Management on Friday said it would move forward with controversial plans to lease more than 20,000 acres of land in western Colorado's North Fork Valley for oil and gas development.
The leases on 20 parcels will be offered in a February oil and gas lease sale, the BLM said in a release announcing the lease sale of 198 parcels totaling 115,000 acres across the state.
The bureau plans to lease 20 parcels covering 20,555 acres of public lands in the valley, which is home to Hotchkiss, Crawford and Paonia. The initial plan was to lease nearly 30,000 acres on 22 parcels.
Residents of the valley have fought the plan, arguing the area should elevate its organic farming, agritourism and thriving wine industry over oil and gas.
"It was a bad idea then and it is a bad idea now," said Jim Ramey, director of the Paonia-based Citizens for a Healthy Community, on Friday. "This is all based on a 1989 resource management plan and science from 1985. It is really incredibly disappointing to see them move forward. Oil and gas and a peaceful, serene valley do not go hand in hand."
In May, the BLM removed the parcels from a planned August lease sale,
with the bureau citing the need for deeper analysis. Since December last year the bureau has gathered public input and studied the environmental impact of drilling for oil and gas in the North Fork Valley, which is home to 47 active wells.
BLM spokeswoman Vanessa Lacayo said the proposal gleaned 300 public comments. The original plan was whittled from 22 to 20 parcels, and 13 were amended, with roughly one-third of the initial acreage initially proposed for the lease sale dropped from the plan.
Those 9,335 acres were removed from the plan to protect watersheds and resources in areas with steep slopes. The bureau removed 40 acres from the plan due to proximity to a school. The bureau added site-specific mitigation requirements for all 20 North Fork Valley parcels, aiming to protect water and limit impacts to air quality.
"For almost a full year we have been looking at this area," Lacayo said.
The 198 parcels being offered by the BLM in February span the bureau's lands in Little Snake, Royal Gorge, Tres Rios and Uncompahgre field offices northwestern, south central and southwestern Colorado.
The BLM is accepting protests to the plan at its Lakewood headquarters through Dec. 17.

Published last May by Michael Cross's Compline Press, Daphnephoria, a recent chapbook by Eleni Stecopoulos, remains one of the more exquisite unions of felt language and physical production in the relatively small but determined world of small press literary endeavor. The poems are difficult to delineate in terms of content. Rather, like the later sections in her full-length collection Armies of Compassion (Palm Press, 2010), they seem to set out points on the periphery of a researched, imagined space, a place of remedy and ritual recuperation.
Channeling back through the roots of words, she finds in the Greek of her "mother's/ancestral tongue" (as she explains in aresponse to the question of "somatics"1) a language commensurate with such a place:
No man is an oikos
but a mother
husbands the economy
dogphysician porous as rock
plastic as Greek
every word
compounded from two
Even the neologism of the title announces this concern. The Ancient Greek combining form pherein "to bear" exists in English primarily in the morphological diptych euphoria and dysphoria, through which we can think ourselves as bearing (what exactly—inner or outer, psychical or physical—the whole complex) either well or ill.
Under the duress of Apollo, Daphne chose to return to the earth, and from there blossoms forth as a tree, leaves, paper. Not only in the language of the poems themselves—
to be a girl who asks in remedy
black walnut white cedar
I'll become
metal wood
—but in the workmanship of the chapbook, a profound care and desire almost to be the material are manifest. Like other of Cross's work, the design as a whole, and in particular the layers of endpapers (within which the poems rest encased as though in bark), reveals a mind obsessively attuned as much to the minimal as to the baroque.
1 This from a response to the question of "somatics" as posed in a questionnaire by Thom Donovan. The response was posted on Harriet: a poetry blog on April 29, 2011 [available here]. Stecopoulos writes:
... soma as a Greek word has been in my ear my whole life, and it carries a potency and warmth that "body" does not for me. And this is despite the fact that English is my first language. (So why this should be the case—the paradoxical way that the mother's/ancestral tongue feels more natural or intimate than the native language—is itself an example of somatic knowing, which can't be extricated from an imagination of cultural identity.)

[color=#40e0d0;]IC Yasurek- Walking with the crew:[/color]
[color=#40e0d0;]Lohkar felt a hand grab his shoulder. Looking down to his side, he'd see Yasurek, hood down, looking right at him. "Captain Lohkar Sir, if I may be so bold, let me tell you that you don't need to feel so down." Before Lohkar could respond, Yasurek continued. "The thing is, yes, Xa-koro was a home away from home for us. It was a place where we could walk in the open without fear of guard attacks. Yes, it was a place that thematically fit our piratey nature. But at the same time, it wasn't our home. It wasn't where we went to at the end of the day, it wasn't where all of our friends were, it wasn't the only thing that we had in the world. We still had the 'Vika. The Infernavika is our home, it's where all of our lives are. Without it, we wouldn't be anything. We wouldn't be a crew, or pirates, or a family, and I say family because as you should know by now, nobody on this island has your back as much as the rest of the crew and me do.[/color]
[color=#40e0d0;]"Without Xa-koro, we're still who we are. We still have everything we had before, and even if we can't go into every town without trouble, we still haven't angered every village. So it's fine. Xa-koro was a loss, but not the greatest loss we could have. You say that we've lost people like us. I'll have you know that regardless of who they were, there was nothing to be done. In fact, it was a miracle we got out of Xa-koro before it went. The thing that separates us from the victims is that we have each other. There were many good people lost, but we don't want to lose you too sir, certainly not to depression."[/color]
[color=#40e0d0;]He paused for a moment, trying to think of what else to say.[/color]
[color=#40e0d0;]"... Lohkar, I don't want to lose you," he added after a pause, dispensing with his usual formalities when addressing Lohkar. "You're my friend, my captain, and a part of my family. My life is here on this boat with everyone on it, and I can't let you destroy yourself over this. So, as a recommendation from your trusted midshipman, don't let it get you down and cheer up. We have adventures and pirating to do, and we need our captain to do it. So let's go out there and show the world that nothing can get us down." He grinned, truly a rare expression for him. "What do we have to worry about? Whatever it is, we can do it, together."[/color]

How Many Veterans Do We Have In The U.S.?
Today is Veterans Day, so let's take a moment to recognize how many veterans are living in America today.
Currently, there are about 21.2 million military veterans in the U.S., 1.6 million of them are women.
The Vietnam War has the most living veterans, with approximately 7.4 million.
The two Gulf Wars have 5.4 million.
The Korean War has 2.3 million.
World War Two has 1.6 million.
5.3 million veterans served during peace time.
There are no surviving U.S. World War One veterans. Frank Buckles was the last one and he passed away two years ago at the ripe old age of 110 years.
Today, we honor all these veterans; past, present and future.

Ray Krutt
A memorial service will be held Saturday for Ray Krutt, a retired San Francisco police officer. Mr. Krutt died Tuesday in San Rafael while convalescing from cancer.
He was born in New York City and attended public schools, then entered the United States Army in World War II. After his army discharge he joined the Navy, serving during the Korean War.
Mr. Krutt long wanted to be a policeman and was placed on the list for the New York Police Department when he left the Navy in 1951, but moved to San Francisco and ran a garage on Third Street.
He took the San Francisco police examination and was sworn into the department in July 1959. He was assigned to several district stations, mainly Potrero, where he developed concepts of "community policing" long before the term was coined.
Mr. Krutt was also a stand-up comedian and was master of ceremonies at promotion and retirement dinners for a generation of officers.
He retired from the SFPD in 1982 and became superintendent of Mount Olivet Cemetery in Marin County where he worked until this month.
He is survived by his wife Toni and children Ted Krutt and Sandra Russo of San Rafael, and sons Bill of San Francisco and Ray, Jr., of Fairfield.
A viewing will be held today, beginning at 8 a.m. at Keaton's Mortuary, 1022 E Street, San Rafael. A memorial service will be held Saturday at 2 p.m., at Trinity Lutheran Church, 333 Woodland, San Rafael.

WELCOME TO PRE-K!A Bright Start for ChildrenCareer DayThe Pre-K curriculum is aligned with the Georgia Early Learning Standards (GELDS). The curriculum supports research-based teaching practices and provides engaging activities for our children. Assessment strategies and tools are utilized to measure our children's progress and guide the instructional practices of our teachers.Active learning is the foundation of our curriculum. Children learn best with direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events and ideas. Children are encouraged to "construct" their own knowledge by pursuing personal interests and goals. They are guided by trained adults who understand the developmental needs of children in the preschool years. Active learning is a key element in all teacher and student initiated activities. Classrooms are divided into "interest areas" (blocks, housekeeping, small toys, books, sand/water, art, etc.) to encourage hands on learning. Domains for instruction include: Personal and Social Development, Language and Literacy, Mathematical Thinking, Scientific Thinking, Social Studies, The Arts, and Physical Development/Health & Safety. Our Pre-K classrooms provide a setting for children to explore, ask and answer questions, solve problems and interact with classmates and adults.Daily schedules are developed for each Pre-K classroom. We understand that daily routines give children a sense of control over the events of the day. With a structured schedule, children can anticipate what happens next during their school day. Teachers typically follow a "Plan-Do-Review Sequence" to keep children informed and engaged. Other key elements planned throughout the day include morning message/greetings, small and large group learning blocks, center time, music and movement, rest time and outdoor time.We value the opportunity to provide a high quality preschool experience for our Effingham County families. Our high expectations of our program will help build a strong foundation for our children as they become life-long learners.-Terri S.

Finding Dory made a big splash at the box office this weekend! The Finding Nemo sequel debuted with $136.2 million and features the voices of Ellen DeGeneres, Ed O'Neill, Ty Burrell, Diane Keaton, and Albert Brooks. It is officially the second largest June opening of all time – just behind last year's Jurassic World.
In case you're wondering how that compares to Finding Nemo, which premiered 13 years ago, the film made $70.2 million opening weekend and went on to gross $936.7 million worldwide.
Central Intelligence, starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, came in second with $34.5 million. It didn't hurt that Hart bought out a number of theaters in the Los Angeles area to treat fans to free screenings.

Enter the Crazymaker
I've been working on The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Creativity. It's stirred many thoughts about former coworkers, former friends, and even family members as I deal with my own issues with creativity.
Today, I've been thinking about the crazymakers and creativity. When I was younger, I tried to help everyone. As I've grown older, my tolerance for other people's craziness has decreased substantially, as has my urge to help. In fact, when I see a crazymaker, I give that person a wide berth. The problem for me with a crazymaker colleague is that I get sucked into this person's problems and don't have to deal with any of my own (not my own family issues, my own work issues, and not my own creative challenges). It's a creative black hole for me.
The author of The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron, has this to say about crazymakers (which reminded me of many of the work situations that y'all write in about):
Crazymakers are those personalities that create storm centers. They are often charismatic, frequently charming, highly inventive, and powerfully persuasive. And, for the creative person in their vicinity, they are enormously destructive. you know the type: charismatic, but out of control, long on problems, and short on solutions.
Crazymakers are the kind of people who can take over your whole life. To fixer-uppers, they are irresistible: so much to change, so many distractions...
If you are involved with a crazymaker, you probably know it already, and you certainly recognize the thumbnail description in the paragraph above. Crazymakers like drama. If they can swing it, they are the star. Everyone around them functions as supporting cast, picking up their cues, their entrances and exits, from the crazymaker's (crazy) whims (pp. 44 and 45).
You might want to pick up a copy of The Artist's Way for more information on how to work creatively.

Methadone withdrawal will certainly be required eventually, after methadone maintenance or a pain monitoring program making use of methadone has begun. If your feeling oppressed by having to go to a Beatty NV clinic or a pharmacy day-to-day and undergoing heck if you intend to travel, there is an escape.
Methadone usage produces a numb sensation to living, considerable stomach problems as well as physical dependency that defeats all others; that's the list. All kinds of other illness that methadone usage created are uncovered as soon as beginning methadone withdrawal. I'll offer you some response to aid right now, and even more solutions to deal with the problem to finishing methadone reliance forever.
Methadone Use Is Epidemic
Dependencies doctors and also discomfort administration facilities in Nevada are busily suggesting methadone for opiate abuse as well as persistent pain, yet what are the consequences of methadone use? I have actually noted several below. If you've currently attempted Methadone withdrawal as well as had problems, I've got some aid you wouldn't have actually located in other places.
Once it is time to start methadone withdrawal, lots of people are having BIG issues ending their methadone use. Just how does one withdraw from methadone in Beatty Nevada? What difficulties will they have to get rid of?
Methadone Withdrawal Challenges
- Methadone use makes people unfeeling, numb
- Even stepping down from methadone can expose hyper sensitivity to discomfort and nutritional depletion symptoms — cramping, aches, nervousness, sleeplessness
- Methadone withdrawal is often 4 times longer and more difficult than heroin once the drug has been abused or used incorrectly for long periods of time
- Withdrawing from methadone can give pains and aches which people can mistake for stress and pain from past accidents
I'm writing for those having problem with methadone withdrawal. If you are experiencing not a problem withdrawing from methadone, do not fret you are among the fortunate ones.
The truth is that many dependencies physicians and pain monitoring specialists in Beatty are acting upon the suggestions from their peers as well as experts. They are not informed of the fatalities as a result of prescribed methadone use nor the problems that in some cases happen when withdrawing from methadone use.
The burden unfortunately lies with the consumer.
Vital: completely research study drugs or medications on your own prior to you acquire or take them. The impacts could be terrible. They also could have unsafe interactive effects when taken with various other drugs.
Lots of otherwise all of methadone impacts are caused by dietary shortages. Methadone usage produces dietary deficiency – particularly calcium and magnesium deficiency. One more is B vitamin shortage. This is just how these deficiencies are manifested.

Methadone Withdrawal Symptoms
- Anxiety over sensations, pains and discomforts returning
- Sleeplessness
- Sneezing
- Cramping of legs and arms
- Bone aches
- Flu or dope sick
Methadone withdrawal will certainly require a lot of additional dietary supplements. That indicates it's time to feed the body. Calcium as well as magnesium will help with the constraining etc. But there will be some trouble many will certainly have taking their nutrients – a bad intestine.
Video: Methadone Clinics in Beatty
A Poor Gut
Methadone and anxiousness meds tend to destroy the digestive tract lining. A dripping intestine provides discomforts when consuming or allergies, susceptible to illness and also skin troubles. An additional signs and symptom of a leaking digestive tract is irritability and a 'bad attitude'. The mindset can have physical causes unmentioned by the person.
A good idea to helping the gut trouble is consuming lots of high quality yogurt with online probiotics in it, like acidophilus and bifidus. One can additionally supplement with big amounts of glutathione – an antioxidant to assist the cleansing process.
The amount of nutrients required throughout methadone withdrawal is taken too lightly so typically that I drink my head in marvel.
Medicines Like Methadone Are Toxins
The issue with methadone is that it is hazardous to the body. Your body knows it, yet you could not. Taking methadone difficulties your organs to detoxify the body and shield the essential organs before they are terribly harmed.
Contaminants provide the body a tough time. If you've seen drug addict with dark circles under their eyes, gray skin, negative skin, hair befalling, reduced energy, weird ailments, etc. they're got nutritional shortages. Those deficiencies are tough to recuperate from with food alone. In some cases that food isn't really being appropriately absorbed = poor intestine.

Methadone Detox
Purifying the body is more than just quiting drug use. Substance abuse creates interior body damages you may not right away acknowledge. Nevertheless, the body will try to cleanse right after substance abuse as well as heal itself making use of any type of nutrients available. If the nutrients aren't available, the body will certainly obtain (swipe) them from the bones, nerve system or other vital functions.
Some will require medical detox from methadone – the problem is that most Beatty methadone detox centers don't use nutritional supplements as part of their program. They just give more medications, and often not the right ones. The lack of full understanding on Methadone detox creates a brutal scene to withdraw from.
The Bright Side
Fortunately is that I've located the tools and the detoxification centers in NV that could beat methadone withdrawal smoothly as well as quickly.More:

Happy New Year to all! Sunday is Mongolian new year where the whole country stops to celebrate the new year. The first day of Цагаан Сар, meaning White Month (Sunday) is family day where all families come together to celebrate new years together. Teresa, the kids & I are touched because we have been invited to one of our instructor's home & our other instructor's parents home for family day. We feel blessed by these invitations & will enjoy the cultural experience together with their families. The music video above shows some of the traditions & foods of Цагаан Сар.
Some of the foods & drinks of Цагаан Сар are бууз (horse, mutton or goat steamed dumplings) сүүтэй цай (hot horse, sheep, goat, camel or cows milk salted, mixed with wild plant leaves & sticks like loose tea) яаманий мах (goat meat on the bone in large pieces full of fat) гэдэс (cooked animal organs) нийслэлийн салат (capital salad similar to potato salad, but with other things that many of you may not like) тамхины сав (sniffing tobacco) торт (sweet cakes) толх (breads) ааруул (sun dried yogurt.) I have to say that all of these things I like to eat.
Here is a picture of my box of ааруул (sun dried yogurt.) мэттенс бид хөёр ааруул идэх дуртэй. Mittens & me really like to eat ааруул. It is very sour & dry. Teresa & the kids care not to eat it because it is sour tasting.

GUEST BLOG - The Cabinetmaker by Alan Jones
It had also been like that during the few months when the first draft of the book went from one-third finished to being completed, after taking a number of years to get to that stage, and the same again trying to get signed up by an agent or publisher. Despite a couple of close things, it was a largely frustrating experience, but with each rejection, I would try and refine my manuscript to make it more readable. When a publisher finally asked to read the entire book, I couldn't help but get my hopes up, so when I received a qualified rejection and a heavily edited manuscript, I was deflated, but realised that my book was publishable. It was painful to cut 30,000 hard earned words, but when I had finished, I sent it to off to another literary agency.
Groundhog day: Full manuscript requested, another rejection, but he'd liked it, and had wrestled with the decision. He told me that he wouldn't be surprised if The Cabinetmaker became successful, if I published it on KDP.
So far, I've had a great response from book bloggers and review sites. They have been incredibly enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. It is the greatest encouragement you can imagine when somebody you have never met likes your writing, and is willing to spread the news about your book to their online friends and the wider book-loving community.
The Cabinetmaker is a Glasgow crime story about two men; Francis Hare, the local cabinetmaker in the book's title, father of a murdered son, and John McDaid, a young detective on the case. Unusually, the story focuses as much on their developing friendship as it does on Francis' attempts to fight for justice when his son's killers walk free, and on John's desperate search for the truth.
It features sloppy policing, Scottish amateur football, fine furniture making, a fair bit of strong language, a smattering of Glasgow slang, and some interesting detective work.
To help promote the book, there's a website, www.thecabinetmaker.info, packed with extras: four free sample chapters, an interactive Glasgow map, an audio 'Glasgow slang' dictionary, a glossary of cabinetry terms, and a page about the book launch that we did during Literary Dundee.

An early look at the Hot Stove
|By Aaron Schultz
It is early in December, and the baseball season will has been over for several months now, so I thought it would be a good time to take an early look at the Hot Stove.
While I usually like to do more Hot Stove stuff in late January, there has been enough going on, so far, this off-season that I wanted to discuss some of it now.
First off, before we get into the baseball discussion, I would like to share my pleasure with all of the readers in Dan Monson, the former University of Minnesota Gopher mens' basketball coach getting fired.
Okay, officially he resigned, but we all know he was pretty much forced out.
Let's all hope they find the right coach for this program, and get us all excited about Gopher basketball again.
Alright, now to the sport of kings baseball.
Starting with amateur ball, I haven't heard too much in the way of player movement in the area, although there has been some team movement.
The North Star League has expanded by one team this fall, with Rogers getting added to the Class C mix.
How this will affect the North Star won't really be known until the season gets underway.
Okay, now for what could have been major news in amateur baseball a shift to three sites for the state tournament.
Members of the state board for the Minnesota Baseball Association had some talks about this prior to the 2006 state tournament.
At the state tournament was when I first heard that they were considering making the move.
As I sat at the annual state board meeting, prior to the first games of state being played, the board weighed the positives and negatives of moving to three sites.
Currently, the state tournament takes place at two sites over three weekends.
There were a number of reasons the board was looking at making the switch, with the biggest one being attendance.
Attendance has been down lately at the state tournament, and the board isn't sure why.
But, consensus around the state is to eliminate the Thursday night and Sunday evening games. These are, typically, the games that draw the smallest crowds.
Another factor in considering going to three sites was weather concerns.
The past few tournaments, there has been bad weather, which has caused games to be played very late at night, or cancelled altogether.
By having three sites, and thus eliminating Thursday and Sunday night games, it would give the board more flexibility to deal with bad weather.
The third positive in going to three sites it would give additional towns a chance to host a state tournament.
With the current system, some of the best fields in the state may host a state tournament, then not have another chance for more than a decade, or more.
While there seems to be too many positives not to do it, there are some big concerns in moving to three sites.
First off, by having three sites, it will eliminate the number of games a diehard baseball fan can see in a given day.
Also, a third site is one more facility that the state board has to deal with, and make sure everything is ready to go.
Finally, by having three sites, the total profit the host sites make will no doubt be less, making it less attractive to have the state tournament.
The state board also looked at the possibility of eliminating games from the tournament, which would help with the tight schedule and eliminate games Thursday and Sunday nights, the poorly-attended games.
At its meeting Nov. 18, the board discussed a number of different proposals and voted on them.
For this year's state tournament at Hamburg and Norwood, along with the state tournament in 2008 at Chaska and Shakopee, it decided to make a few changes.
Currently, the state tournament format has two sites for both Class C and Class B.
In Class C, 32 teams make it to state, with single elimination through the first two rounds, then double elimination after that.
In Class B, 16 teams make it to state, and it is double elimination all the way through.
The changes for the next two state tournaments will keep 32 teams from Class C and 16 from Class B making the field.
But, in Class C, it will be double elimination when there are four teams left instead of eight, and in Class B, it will be double elimination after the first round.
Then, at the 2009 state tournament, which will be hosted by Arlington and Gaylord, the format will change again.
There will still be the same amount of teams making it to state, but both Class C and Class B will be a single elimination format throughout the entire tournament.
Yep, lose and you're done.
The board passed this with a 6-3 vote.
I've been gnawing on these changes for a couple of weeks, and I don't mind them.
I'm glad they didn't eliminate the number of teams that advance to the state tournament.
Alright, not much space left, but I did want to talk a little bit about the Twins off-season.
So far, nothing, and that is no surprise.
The free agent market has been sick to this point, with average players getting way too much money.
Of course, our Twins are not going to overpay an average player.
With that said, they better get a trade done to get a veteran starting pitcher, and a good designated hitter.
One last thing, please don't bring back Rondell White as your answer to the DH question.
Well, until January, keep the Hot Stove burning.

At the intersection of 1300 South and Mountain road, go North about 1/2 mile. You will find a faint two track dirt road leaves graded road to the west. Follow around to South until it reaches a well. About 200 feet down hill to the east is the cemetery enclosed by a barb wire fence.
I did not find out who owns and maintains it though I found the cemetery to be in fair condition. There were 6 or more unmarked graves in the plot. There is two graves of little pioneer girls and three unknown graves. It is situated southwest across the main road from the old Warm Creek Ranch.

The St. Herman House - FOCUS Cleveland is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, more specifically to manage the house of hospitality, promote the Orthodox ministry in the community, and help those in need in the Ohio City area.
Founded in September 1977, St. Herman's has Over 35 years of service to the poor and homeless population in Ohio City. As of January 1, 2012, we officially changed our name to St. Herman's Orthodox House of Hospitality, Inc. There is a new board made up of local Orthodox Clergy, parishioners, and community members that are motivated to ensure that St. Herman's Orthodox House of Hospitality remains an integral part of Ohio City while providing services necessary to meet the need of the community.
In the past year, we served over 73,000 hot meals. We are one of the only shelters in Ohio, and in the nation, that serves three hot meals a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. Additionally, the last five working days of every month, we provide grocery bags for women with dependent children. As a matter of course, as many as 800 bags of groceries will be distributed to over 250 families. As part of our hospitality outreach, we have available emergency food, bread, and pastries whenever needed. Also, we own and operate a 75-acre farm that we use in our farm-to-table initiative, and which is being developed as a recovery ranch for persons struggling with addiction..
The St. Herman's jobs program, "Program Services," provides employment for eligible men in our shelter. We partner with local Churches, businesses, and residencies to provide employment for our shelter residents. Typically, over half of our men are employed full or part-time through Program Services or through employment secured through other partner agencies in the neighborhood.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we open up our Clothing Pantry which provides clothing, shoes, and hygiene products to all who come. Over 500 men avail themselves to the Clothing Pantry each year. We also partner with Easter Seals, distributing clothing through their pantry. Each year we distribute shoes to homeless and needy children in the public and charter schools. When the holiday season comes around, we host giveaways of winter coats and wrapped gifts.
Each morning we open up our doors for 'hospitality time,' providing shelter, snacks, and fellowship to those who have nowhere else to go. Every morning at and every afternoon we pray in our chapel, and invite all who wish to join us. Each Tuesday night we conduct a Bible study in our dining room, all are welcome. We partner with local churches, businesses, and organizations, including the May Dugan Center, Metanoia Project, Courage to Change, Trials for Hope, Positive Education Program, Aspiring Hands, Edna House, Good Will, Nehemiah Mission, and Forest City. We are active participants in Ohio City Incorporated's Human Services Dialogue. Volunteers and guests at the St. Herman House find an opportunity for authentic interactions and fellowship through the course of our many programs. Our most significant collaboration is with the May Dugan Center which provides our residents with intensive case management related to housing, employment, mental and physical health care, as well as opportunities for continuing education and counseling. Once a week, May Dugan Center teaches a goal-setting course in our House for our guests.
At any given time, we can shelter up to 28 men. In recent years, we have shelter 50 to 70 men and should reach our goal of 80 to 100 men each year by partnering with other agencies who can aide us in the challenging work of transitioning men from homelessness to independent living. Recently, we acquired a neighboring property which will serve as a Transitional House. Housing up to 12 qualified men at any given time, the House will provide a bridge those seeking to transition from homelessness to permanent housing. Qualified individuals will have achieved six months of sobriety, and income, and ongoing case management.

Not seeing the forest for the trees: it is time to call and combat Antisemitism for what it is
By Anne Aulinger, Policy consultant on strategies against right-wing forces and anti-discrimination in Germany
19 December 2017 - In light of recent antisemitic incidents during protests in Germany and other European countries, Anne Aulinger shares her views on why everyone should care.
Last week, several protests against Trump's decision to move the US embassy in Israel from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem took place in Germany. Beyond manifestations of opposition to this decision, there were antisemitic elements and expressions which were also inciting to violence. They could be found for instance in the burning of flags with the Star of David and Israeli flags, the display of Hamas flags and the chanting of "Death, death to Israel", "Child murderer Israel" and "Zionists are Fascists".
For Jews in Berlin and those concerned by Antisemitism, this was partly experienced as alarming. Especially in the context of the arson attack on a synagogue in Goteborg (Sweden), an attack on a kosher restaurant in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and other incidents in European cities. Walking by one of these manifestations in the Berlin district of Neukölln, I also couldn't help but ask myself what would happen if a man with a kippah or a couple speaking Hebrew would walk by. This made me feel worried and sad. The documented antisemitic assaults in the context of the 2014 protests against the war in Gaza show that these concerns are not unfounded.
These worries increased when a similar protest was permitted to take place at the Brandenburg Gate two hours before the festive lighting of the biggest Chanukkia in Europe (candelabra used during the Jewish celebration of Chanukkah). It felt insensitive that the security of participants in the celebration could not be guaranteed. Many therefore discussed whether it would be safe to attend this public event. And it felt careless that a Jewish festival was getting mixed up with protests against a decision about the US embassy in Jerusalem. Fortunately, the protest was relocated. And a solidarity "Berlinukka" picket was spontaneously organised as well.
By now many German politicians have condemned the incidents, and some are additionally calling for more effective measures against Antisemitism. The lack of outcry from the majority of citizens though indicates a decrease in solidarity with Jews, which already could have been recognised in 2014 during the worrying rise in antisemitic attacks. Is Antisemitism again and still only a problem for Jews?
The report of the German independent expert group on anti-Semitism shows that whereas the daily life of the Jewish population in Germany is increasingly marked by Antisemitism, the non-Jewish majority generally thinks that it doesn't really play a role. Often when I talk about Antisemitism, people looked at me in disbelief. Jewish friends talking about discrimination get labelled "hysterical".
Why this gap between the Jewish and majority population? First, because whereas the German school curriculum extensively deals with the Holocaust, there are gaps in research and teaching about current forms of Antisemitism, including conscious or unconscious Antisemitism in the name of anti-Zionism. A differentiated critique of Israel's politics and policies is obviously no problem and takes place both inside and outside the country. There are some tools to help distinguish legitimate criticism of Israel from Antisemitism. Systematic delegitimising, demonising or applying of double standards to Israel are ways of transmitting antisemitic resentments. Secondly, because criticism of Israel in all its forms is considered as being on the moral side of the oppressed, there is a certain extent of blindness to when a red line is crossed. The result is a lack of solidarity on Antisemitism, also from those who usually stand up for minorities.
This silence is not only troubling for Jews in Germany and in the rest of Europe, it also leaves an open door to right-wing forces, like the AfD which uses this gap to stir up racism and to present themselves as the only loyal partners for Jews. Fortunately, there is enough documentation about Holocaust denial and trivialisation, hatred against Israel, conspiracy theories and the unwillingness to kick anti-Semites out of the party to show that it is all about instrumentalising Jews and Israel in order to push their anti-migration and racist agenda. Even though Antisemitism does come from all sides of society, the predominant majority of antisemitic hate crime in Germany is still right-wing motivated.
It is time to take Antisemitism seriously and to stand up against it – no matter which side it is coming from. Some ways forward include the appointment of an ombudsperson for Antisemitism and a permanent independent expert group, the systematic recording and sanctioning of antisemitic hate crime, and financial support to organisations researching and combating Antisemitism. If German society claims to be a mature and resilient democracy, it needs to understand that it is not only Jews who are concerned about fighting for their safety, but all of us.

Searching for any great health club that will help you trim the form that you simply always dream for? How can you provide a rank to a health club? Cleanliness of facilities, locations, professionalism of physical fitness specialists and written contracts to become decided are the most typical underlying factors that decide.
To begin with, a fitness center center you decide to involve with should be situated near commercial establishments. Caused by cheaper rental payments, some gyms centers are usually allotted in the alongside of busy street. Poisonous particles motionless vehicles for example acidity sulfide and dusts are heavily inhaled and finally sticking onto our lung area. The greater energetic workout we all do, the greater air we take and also the more damages to the respiratory system system. Henceforth, priority ought to be provided to any fitting centers which offer the tranquility, the new air and therefore are encircled through the eco-friendly.
Secondly, all facilities should be cleaned soon after use through the staff. This is because we sweat a great deal within the fitness gyms. Sweat that left around the fitness equipments nurture the development of an array of bacteria and results in skin allergy to another users. Exactly what a misfortune should you been the following user in which the sweat left around the equipment through the previous user has the aroma of dead fishes? Don't laugh! This is the truth.
Next, all physical fitness specialists working must have the ability to deliver technical assistance when uncertain from the purpose of certain fitness equipments. Wrongly while using fitness equipments may bring you serious injuries! For instance, you need to ask the fitness specialist that will help you control the rate of treadmill that you simply are riding. Should you just hit the button as displayed not understanding exactly what the button does, you're putting yourself at risks. You may fall in the treadmill because of the speed button you miss-selected.
Most health club would like to have you ever signed an itemized deal for some reasons. For examples, should you join a 3 year membership after which finish up moving following a year because of work, will you be partly refunded? What responsibilities the health club assumes for you? Henceforth, knowing your legal rights is essential to safeguard you against any unfavorable losses.
All of these are the generally used means of evaluating a health club. A great health club should fulfill all of the underlying factors aforementioned here.


text: Dan Halutz (R) is viewed by many as a war criminal During his tenure as Air Force Commander between 2000-2004, Halutz approved and oversaw operations that caused the death of many Palestinian civilians, including numerous children. In July 2002, Halutz ordered the Israeli air force to drop a one-tonne bomb on a Gaza apartment complex, killing 14 civilians, including at least 10 children. The target of the bombing was Salah Shehadeh, a Hamas leader Israel accused of masterminding resistance operations against Israeli targets. Shehadeh and his wife were killed in the bombing. Halutz took over as the 18th Chief of Staff on Wednesday. Unrepentant Halutz never apologised for the children's deaths. In a July 2002 interview with the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz he said "I sleep well at night" when asked about the deaths of so many children in an air assault he ordered. The new military chief ran a ruthless air raid campaign "What do I feel when I drop a bomb? - a slight bump to the wing of [the] plane as a result of dropping the bomb". But Ra'ed Matar, of the Daraj neighbourhood in Gaza, feels the air attack devastated his life. Matar, 33, lost three of his children in the bombing: Ayman, 6 months, Muhammad, 3, and Dalya, 5. Asked what he would tell him if he were to meet him face to face, Matar, after a moment of silence, said: "I would ask him why you killed my children? You are not really fit to be a human being let alone a Chief of Staff." 'War criminal' "I don't know what to say except that he is a war criminal who annihilated my family and destroyed my life." "But I am not sure the man has conscience, how can you appeal to one who has no conscience. If he had conscience he would not have done what he did." Palestinian children have often been victims of Israeli air raids Matar, now a taxi driver, said he has been trying hard to overcome his devastating ordeal. "I pray a lot and I see that many of our people are suffering no less than I am. This gives me some solace." The Palestinian Authority has not issued any official statement protesting the appointment of Halutz as Chief of Staff. However, one PA Foreign Ministry official, who asked not to be named, told Aljazeera.net that "our problem with Israel far exceeds Halutz". "Israel itself is a criminal state." Vain attempts Some liberal Israeli politicians and civil and human rights groups have sought unsuccessfully to block the appointment of Halutz as Chief of Staff. The Israeli peace group, Yesh Gvul (There is Border) tried to challenge his appointment in court, but to no avail. The group's spokesman, Yishai Menuchin, described Halutz as "a war criminal". "There are orders that decent people don't give, and all the justifications and evasions from responsibility will not clear them. Halutz is party to a war crime and must pay for it." Similarly, efforts by the leaders of the Israeli centre-left, Yahad, and other peace-minded public figures, such as Uri Avnery, head of the Gush Shalom (Peace Bloc), were utterly ignored by the hardline political-military establishment. Avnery told Aljazeera on Wednesday night that it was too late to do anything about the appointment, suggesting that Halutz represented the norm, not the exception, in the Israeli army. Insensitivity blamed The fact that Halutz's appointment as Chief of Staff has failed to raise a real outcry in the Israeli society is explained by Israeli journalist Gideon Levy. "And then the Israeli society is brainwashed to the point of seeing Palestinians as less than full human beings. In fact most Israelis don't see any problem in what Halutz did" Gideon Levy, Israeli journalist Levy, who reports regularly on Israeli army violations of Palestinian civil and human rights in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, says most Israelis don't see any problem with killing Palestinian children and civilians. "I can say there are two main reasons in this regard: First, the terrible, terrible indifference among Israelis, with the exception of one active group, namely the settlers and their supporters." "And then the Israeli society is brainwashed to the point of seeing Palestinians as less than full human beings. In fact most Israelis don't see any problem in what Halutz did." Israeli government officials didn't return phone calls or respond to interview requests regarding Halutz's appointment. SOURCE: Aljazeera ABOUT THE AUTHOR Khalid Amayreh

O'Se dynasty grows ever stronger
It was never a question of if, but rather when, the O'Sé dynasty added another name to the GAA All-Star list and today Kerry defender Marc joined his brothers Darragh and Tomás in that particular hall of fame.
Though Tomás failed to earn the recognition in this year's selection, Marc's first appearance and Darragh's third came among six selections from the All-Ireland winning Kerry side.
The awards were announced today by GAA president Nickey Brennan following the selection meeting at Dublin's Westbury Hotel.
Kingdom hero Seamus Moynihan was named at right half back with Aidan O'Mahony on the opposite flank.
Paul Galvin won his second All-Star at right half forward while Kieran 'Star' Donaghy capped a dramatic debut year with a selection at full-forward.
Beaten finalists Mayo are represented by Conor Mortimer and Alan Dillon in the forwards, while their vanquished semi-final opponents Dublin have two players named in the shape of goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton, who wins his second All-Star, and forward Alan Brogan who collects his first.
Cork's Ger Spillane and Nicholas Murphy earn their first award and are named centre half back and midfield respectively.
Donegal's Karl Lacey and Armagh's Ronan Clarke both win their first awards while Fermanagh's Barry Owens caps another memorable season to add to his 2004 inclusion.
The awards will be presented on Friday night at the gala All Stars banquet in the City West Hotel during which the Hurling All Stars of 2006 will be announced.

The very lovely Sam from Betsy makes had a giveaway last week on her blog for any comments made on her charming Dave Scuttle and I was the WINNER yay!!! The prize was a family ticket to the Toft alpaca shop near Rugby, where Kerry Lord was running demonstrations, workshops and a farm tour as part of the launch of her new crochet book 'Edwards Menagerie: Birds'. Dave Scuttle was based on a seagull from Kerry's new book which is packed with beautiful variations of birds. A novice to crochet and a county neighbour to Warwickshire, this was an opportunity not to be missed and so off I went with my sister and our 4 children in tow.
We set off early but traffic it took us over an hour and a half so we arrived after Kerry had begun her workshop. The cheerful and kind staff happily entertained us with pom pom making before we had delicious cake and coffee in the swish cafe.
The children then did some wet felting although they didn't have the greatest of patience or perseverance in the presence of hunger and so we hastily had some lunch before a tour of the farm. I can't stress enough how important the staff were in making our day so memorable as our tour guide Caroline was superb with the children . They held her hands as they walked around and asked questions and she was patient and kind to them and Monica was super with making the pom poms which all made me calmer and more relaxed, thus enjoying the whole experience a lot more.
create and craft previously and knew a little about the luxurious Toft Alpaca wool that she uses in her patterns but also enjoyed listening to her talking about the books. She was friendly and engaging throughout the day and even signed my book which I purchased with my sister after seeing the demonstration pieces in the shop. We also bought some alpaca finger puppets for the children which were packaged in lovely totes; very useful for future yarn projects such as the panda called 'Fiona'. That is an intermediate pattern so may not be attempted for a while yet but along with the book, I received an additional 10 patterns by email which includes a reindeer, sloth and badger.
The quality of the Toft products are certainly luxurious and can sell themselves. I'm really keen to get started but the main thing I took away from the day was that it would not have been what it was if not for the staff. I will definitely revisit Toft Manor, perhaps without the children so I can really focus and improve my crocheting, but Kerry did mention another open day in December 19th where there will be more opportunities to visit the farm, see demonstrations and further activities for children which I fully intend to attend.
Huge thankyou again to Sam as I would never have done this if not for the giveaway you did :D
