Two Muslim women bridge faiths in Newtown vigil
Huma Yasin was 14 when the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was bombed in Oklahoma City, her hometown.
As an American-born daughter of Pakistani immigrants, the horror of that attack was made worse by early reports suggesting that the perpetrators were Muslims -- like her.
Although that soon was disproved, she suddenly questioned her place in the community.
"I thought, 'Oh, my gosh, are we really Americans? Are we really part of this fabric?'" she said last week.
Years passed. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma, where she also earned a law degree. She married and settled in Arlington with her husband and four children.
On Dec. 14, when 20 children and six adults were massacred at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., Yasin no longer questioned if she was part of the American fabric.
"As a mother, I was just thinking about how horrible it would be going through that," she said. "And then I was thinking there were so many people in this nation who, regardless of ethnic heritage or religious affiliation, we were all hurting.
"All those children had become emblematic of someone we know, someone we love, and we needed to come together, to grieve together."
That's was the impetus of "Candles for Connecticut," an interfaith vigil held Dec. 20 at First United Methodist Church in Fort Worth. Among the speakers were Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price and Police Chief Jeff Halstead.
Leading in prayers were Imam Moujahed Bakash of the Islamic Association of Tarrant County, Rabbi Andrew Bloom and the Rev. Al Meredith, pastor of Wedgwood Baptist Church.
"In 24 years of being police officer, I have not experienced anything this powerful," Halstead said after the event. "And the leaders put this together in just six days."
Plans began the day of the Newtown shootings.
Wedgwood reminder
Yasin turned to her friend Alia Salem, who works with the Islamic Speakers Bureau DFW and also is on the Fort Worth Police Department's citizens peer committee for the Middle Eastern and Greater Middle East Community.
The group, and six others like it, make up the department's Multicultural Committee, created by Halstead, to help police develop curricula for cultural diversity training. The information is intended to help officers get better understandings of the communities they patrol.
Salem, a Fort Worth native whose father was from Egypt, also had deep feelings about mass shootings.
She recalled last week how a classmate in her high school theater class, Justin Stegner Ray, was among seven people killed in the September 1999 mass shooting at Wedgwood Baptist Church.
"When you see the horror of Newtown, it dredges up feelings of insecurity," she said, "and you think about the people from Wedgwood.
"Huma said, 'Let's do something,' and I said, 'Yes.' But then I said, 'It should be interfaith.' My response was to act in a societal way."
Interfaith effort
Salem said she turned to police Lt. Robert Rangel, the facilitator of her citizens committee. A planning meeting was convened with Fort Worth ministers who meet regularly with police, including members of the Clergy and Police Alliance.
Salem said she thought one of the speakers should be a representative of Wedgwood Baptist. She then was introduced to Meredith, who was there.
"I mean, how perfect was that?" Salem said. "If Chief Halstead had not created the citizen peer committees, this would not have come together."
"Pastor Meredith was wonderful," she said, because he stuck to his beliefs by invoking Jesus Christ, yet encouraged other people to pray according to their own customs.
"It showed that we can do interfaith with no shred of compromising our beliefs," she said. "I respect '100 percent people' who are true to what they believe in, and that's up to each person to decide."
At the service, Salem was master of ceremonies, and Yasin read each victim's name as candles were lighted for them by police Cpl. Tracey Knight, who heads the Multicultural Committee, and area children. Photos of the Newtown children flashed across a screen.
"I have a 4-year-old daughter, so it was painful to look at those pictures," Knight said. "So this brought the community together in a way that was meaningful."
Yasin agreed.
"Every faith group I have learned about has a huge empathy for finding and helping the less fortunate," she said. "This was a wonderful showing of interfaith, and I hope, eventually, it will have a lasting impact for something much larger."

Calls For Common Sense Solutions
AUSTIN, TX - Yesterday, State Representative Toni Rose (110) filed an assortment of bills aimed at reducing budget costs, increasing efficiency and enacting a common sense criminal justice update for counties across Texas.
Under the jurisdiction of the County Commissioner's Court, those experiencing house arrest cannot use it as time served if they are later sentenced to jail time. This differs from the state probation department which does allow for time served, resulting with some defendants serving more time in confinement than their like counterparts. House Bill 1287 provides equity for those experiencing periods of confinement while reducing the jail population and saving property tax dollars.
"I work to help all people," said Representative Rose. "I believe in equal treatment under the law and common sense solutions to reduce government costs while improving the lives of residents in the Dallas community and Texans across our entire state."
Although real estate brokers are allowed to assist in selling county property, those same brokers are barred from leasing the very same property. House Bill 1288 would allow counties to rent their property through real estate brokers without the excessive costs of hiring additional full-time staff.
Currently, medical examiners in counties like Dallas are forced to spend tax dollars facilitating activities that are duplicative, at no fault of their own. In counties with more than one million residents, House Bill 1285 authorizes attending physicians to certify the death certificates of their own patients, removing the costs from the county medical examiner's office. House Bill 1286 allows medical examiners to follow storage methods established by national accreditation agencies as best practices.
"In an environment where resources are strained, every dime of our tax dollars should be optimized," said Representative Rose. "Good governance means examining every opportunity to make government more efficient and tax dollars go further."

Nurses Arena Forum / General Category / Travel Nursing / U. S States Where Nurses Are Most and Least In Demand by Gina Belli (1186) Views
|U. S States Where Nurses Are Most and Least In Demand by Gina Belli by katty : December 08, 2016, 11:09:53 PM
Some professions are more regional than others. For example, you're much more likely to work as a gaming dealer in Nevada or an automotive engineer in Michigan than in any other part of the country. On the other hand, some occupations exist in every state. For example, registered nurses are always in demand. But that doesn't mean that every state offers equally attractive opportunities to those who work in the nursing profession.
A new report from Olivet Nazarene University, which used data from Indeed's job listings, shows where nurses are the most and the least in demand. Let's take a closer look at some of the findings that stand out the most.
Nurses are in high demand in most parts of New England, and in North Dakota, New Mexico, and Alaska.
According to a report, nurses are most in demand in the state of Massachusetts, where there are 22.9 nursing jobs listed per every 10,000 people. Other states in New England also have a similar level of demand, with the exception of Connecticut, which has just 14 jobs listed per every 10,000 residents. Vermont's rate is 19.9/10,000, New Hampshire's is 20.6/10,000, and Rhode Island's is 18.8/10,000. Other states outside of New England also find nurses in high demand: North Dakota (21 per 10,000), New Mexico (20.9 per 10,000), and Alaska (18.6 per 10,000).
The demand is especially low in parts of the Southeast, Utah, and Hawaii.
There are a few states in the Southeast where nurses are in especially low demand. Louisiana isn't far behind with a rate of 9.5, and Mississippi's other neighbor, Alabama, comes in with a rate of 9.8. Figures are also low in Hawaii (7.4 per 10,000), and Utah (9.1 per 10,000).
High salaries often follow when nurses are in high demand, and the reverse is also true.
According to a report, high salaries are often available in the states where nurses are most in demand. For example, nurses in Massachusetts earn almost $20,000 more than the national average. On the other hand, they earn less than that average in Alabama, where nurses aren't in high demand.
The differences have a lot to do with states' budgets.
The availability of nursing jobs and the pay rate for nurses has everything to do with states' budgets. In many instances, funding for nurses in locations like schools and hospitals comes from local and state budgets. According to this report, states like Utah, which historically advocate for small-government policies, don't have the funds for jobs and facilities that other states do. Hence, they have a lower demand for nurses and often offer lower pay to boot.
The rate also varies alongside the density of health-care facilities.
Not unrelated to state budgetary differences, demand for nurses varies according to how many healthcare facilities exist per capita. The report notes that Mississippi, which ranked as having the lowest demand for nurses of any state, also has the fifth-fewest healthcare facilities per capita of any state. So, it stands to reason they would have less jobs available there when compared with other areas.

Strange & Beautiful
- Artist: Amy Meyer
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 2/3/2004
|your cart is empty
Amy has been active in the San Francisco singer/songwriter scene since 1991 as a front for The Plain Folk Band, Girls! Girls! Girls!, Amy Meyers Trio, and The Amy Meyers Band. In that time, she has released 4 CDs and played numerous times in Bay Area clubs. In the mid-90's, after releasing Ashbury Hill, Amy left the popular Bay Area Folk/Country/Rock band The Plain Folk Band to pursue a new road of musical expression. In 1997, she released The Wheel, which was warmly received by critics. In May of 1998, she was a featured artist on KFOG and a finalist of the Lilith Fair Talent Search. In 1999, she collaborated with Bay Area Producer, Scott Mathews to release the EP, Open Road, which clearly illustrated both musical growth and a willingness to experiment. And, in October of 2000, she released her 4th CD, Crossing which is again, another strong recording. Strange & Beautiful is her 5th release (4th solo), released in February of 2004. Critics are raving about this CD as the album that brings it all together. The songs are mature and unique - each one a hit. There are spectacular performances from each of the artists. Amy Meyers' vocals are the soul of the CD. She sings from a deep place with a voice that is sometimes raw and other times smooth and beautifully flowing. Vocally, she has really come into her own with this album. The acoustic rhythm tracks are solid and tight. A highlight is her piano playing that keeps getting better and better. On drums, Russ Gold really makes a song like 'You Say' groove while he is equally accomplished at laying down the jazz in 'So Serious.' Paul Olguin is exceptional on bass with many star moments, particularly in his Jaco-esque playing on 'How Long?' He has that rare ability to hold down the bottom with force in one song and then caress the listener in the next. Eamonn Flynn's wurlitzer solo on 'Good' and organ riffs on 'You Say' will make you want to listen time and time again. Denny Geyer's guitar swells pull you under and create the needed yearning atmosphere in 'In This World' and 'Next Stop.' Pam Delgado's backing vocals are hauntingly moving and tear at your soul. They work so well with Amy's lead vocals, the songs require return visits. And Pam's percussion is creative, spontaneous, and deeply rooted. She is 'the real deal.' True Margrit adds some terrifically fun and quirky keyboard riffs to songs like 'Over It' and 'Girls Like You' that compliment them just right. To round off the album in a big way, Steve Kahn's orchestration on 'The Market' and 'Spring' are epic!!!! Meyers' music encompasses the styles of folk, jazz, musical theatre, and rock with a distinct pop sensibility. Her songs are emotionally honest slices of daily life that don't attempt to mythologize or mask the good and bad things we do to each other. Her playing grooves, her lyrics are unassumingly poignant and come from a voice that is deep, rich, dynamic, and pure. Her performance style is influenced by both the wildness of the Rock world and the refinement of the Musical Theatre world. She has the power on stage to state her point, deliver her message, and really talk to you while maintaining an impressive poise and command of her performance space. As a graduate from the theatre department at Northwestern University, it is no surprise that in addition to the club scene, Amy has appeared in several stage productions singing, acting, and usually playing an instrument or two. REVIEWS: Publication: Collected Sounds Reviewer: Amy Meyers has an Alto voice that slips into falsetto occasionally giving it a unique lilting quality. She is accompanied by several instruments but mostly piano and acoustic guitar. I especially like "Good" - it's funky and fun. "Girls Like You" also has alot of personality...For the second half of the CD, she makes use of piano as well on a couple of songs and it sounds great. "Downside" is especially pretty...I think "How Long?" is my favorite track here. It's one that stuck with me upon first listen and when I heard it again, it felt like an old friend...The CD starts out sounding like straight up folk, but then a pop song "pops" up. Later comes an adult contemporary piano ballad, then when you get to track ten, it almost sounds like jazz, while the next track, "Spring," borders on classical complete with strings (and is beautiful)...Because there are so many styles in one, maybe only open minded music fans will love every single song, but there is something here for everyone. This is a really nice CD. Reviewer: Julie Nakahara (A&R) Well crafted songs. Strong vocals. Solid instrumentation and well written lyrics. All songs are quite memorable and hooky. Overall, a really nice, tight, strong CD! Really enjoyed listening to it. Reviewer: Joel Jaffe (Producer) Love your voice, listened to your record twice. I think you made a good record. Sounds good and I think the first song is real good. I like your vibe and think you have real talent. HERE'S WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL: All I can say is, wow. Ok, I take that back, that's not all I can say. What I mean to say is, wow! I am so impressed. I couldn't wait to hear what was next but I didn't want the one playing to end. I always knew you were talented and have always loved to listen to your stuff. I am one of your biggest fans. But this CD was AWESOME. It reminded me a lot of when you played piano for us in the basement of Allison Hall at Northwestern University. I also have to say that my girls loved the CD as well. I played a sampling of some of the songs for them and they were dancing and thought it was great (doesn't say much for the 2 year old, she'll dance at a commercial, but the 8 year old is really picky about what she listens to!). For what it's worth, I really loved the CD, I loved the mix of styles, I loved the musical interludes and the instrumentals. You are an incredible musician and I think this may be the break you were waiting for. Good job and good luck! It's some of your best work yet. As a whole, the music and lyrics are smart and interesting. Kudos to Rob for the engineering (especially the Kahn strings stuff...wow!). Upon the initial listening, I found the first 4 very good, then the middle three ('Next Stop,' 'Girls Like You,' and 'The Market') right up there with 'the wheel'. In my opinion these are the most 'magical blow you away kinda stuff', then the final 4 wrap things up nicely....again Spring and the kahn strings...wow... The middle three are my focus: 'Next Stop:: rockin' re-make with some touches of the 'old' version here and there peeking thru. Still a great song in any form... I liked it a lot. 'Girls Like You': should be the 'catchy hit on the radio' song. Even if I do say so myself...! I like that there are no drums, just percussion.... 'The Market': Again... this is, I think, the absolute masterpiece of the LP. Like your song 'the wheel', this one really-really amazed me for it's content, it's structure, the performances of the musicians, the production, engineering, mixing...everything. A gem. All the makings of a 'title track'

As Scranton leaders are considering increasing hours, days and rates of downtown parking meters, some business owners want to see the city's parking-garage rates reduced.
However, the court-appointed receiver in charge of the garages and their rates, Mike Washo, said he has no plans to lower garage rates, because a reduction would drain revenue from the authority and further burden city taxpayers to fund any shortfall that may arise from reduced rates.
"We don't believe that any reduction in parking garage rates at this time will generate additional customers to justify the reduction in rates," Mr. Washo said. "At the end of the day, we'll end up with less revenue."
In recent weeks, a plan by Scranton's mayor and city council to hire a private firm, Standard Parking, to manage the city's on-street parking meters has raised numerous questions and concerns among downtown businesses, residents and council members. Citing Standard Parking's estimates, council members think the city can net an additional $1.8 million a year by switching parking-meter management from the inactive Scranton Parking Authority to Standard Parking. Under this plan, which was tabled Feb. 7 by council, meter hours would extend from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Ten-hour meters also would increase from $1 an hour to $1.50 an hour.
In debate over the meter issue, members of the business community have questioned parking-garage rates that start at $3.70 for the first hour, and then go to $5.10 for two hours, $7 for three, $8.05 four, $9.60 for five, $10.65 for six and $20 for all-day parking. A monthly pass is $112.50 a month. In comparison, Wilkes-Barre's monthly parking garage rate is $70, and Allentown's monthly parking garage rate is $75 . Some Scranton business owners say they believe that reducing the city's parking garage rates would spur more motorists to use them.
"They (city officials) think if they do the meters (increase hours, days and some meter rates) that's going to drive people into garages, but it's not," said Fran Kavulich, owner of Now Hair Studio on Adams Avenue and a SPA tenant. "The only way it's going to get resolved is if they lower parking garage rates."
Mr. Washo last year hired a private firm, Central Parking, to operate the garages, and Central has since merged with Standard Parking.
There are about 1,115 monthly parkers using the city's five garages - Medallion, Casey, SPA, Electric City and Connell, Mr. Washo said. Any drop in garage rates would lower revenue the authority cannot afford to lose. Even if there were an increase in parkers, it likely would not be large enough to make up for the lost revenue, he said. For example, if the monthly rate was reduced $10, the garages would need 110 new parkers to make up the difference, and "I don't think there are 110 new parkers out there willing to make that switch," Mr. Washo said.
The transient (daily/hourly) parking-garage market offers more opportunity to generate revenue, yet raising transient revenue has proven to be a challenge because consumers can park on the street at a two-hour meter for $1 an hour, he said.
"There's $52 million of (SPA) debt that has to paid. The city has guaranteed this debt and the money to make (SPA) bond payments has to come from somewhere," Mr. Washo said.
This year, the SPA has $3.4 million in bond payments due as follows: $485,242 due March 15; $903,422 due Sept. 15; and $2 million due Dec. 1, Mr. Washo said. The city has budgeted to pay $1.9 million of SPA debt this year, but also would be on the hook for any bond-payment shortfall if the new arrangement does not result in high-enough revenue.
The meter/garage issues stem from SPA's dismantling last year after council allowed the agency to default on a debt. The default led to the appointment of Mr. Washo as court-appointed receiver installed by SPA's bond trustee to take over the authority. An August "consent order" agreed upon by the SPA trustee, the authority and the city states "The receiver, after consultation with the bond trustee, may in his sole discretion set or modify monthly, daily and event parking (garage) rates."
Meanwhile, business owners also say maintenance of the garages has decreased since Central/Standard took over. SPA had six garage maintenance employees who were laid off under the authority's dismantling, but Central/Standard has only hired two maintenance employees, and one of those positions is currently vacant, said Mr. Washo, noting that he agrees with that level of staffing.
"Central Parking has elected to go with a very lean staff and reducing expenses reduces taxpayers' obligation in funding any debt-payments shortfalls. These are not decisions I've made. It was a decision made by Central Parking and I agree with them," Mr. Washo said.
Business owners also wonder why access to the top few floors of the SPA garage between Linden and Mulberry streets have been blocked by barriers. Mr. Washo said there is not enough demand to keep those top floors open.

Pound in Purgatory
From Economic Radicalism to Anti-Semitism
Now available in paper, Pound in Purgatory explains Pound's early non anti-Semitic beliefs and why his views changed to anti-Semitic.
Pound in Purgatory, available now in paperback, overturns all previous explanations of Ezra Pound's anti-Semitism by uncovering its roots in economic and conspiracy theory. Leon Surette demonstrates that, contrary to popular opinion, Pound was not a life-long anti-Semite and consistently ignored or resisted anti-Semitic comments from his correspondents until after 1931.
From 1931 to 1945 Pound's poetry took a back seat to his activities as an economic reformer and propagandist for the corporate state. Pound believed he had a simple and practical solution for the economic woes of the world brought on by the Great Depression, and he became increasingly preoccupied with capturing political power for the economic reform he envisioned.
As the world spiraled toward war, Pound's program of economic reform foundered and he gradually succumbed to a paranoid belief in a Jewish conspiracy. Through an incisive analysis of Pound's correspondence and writings, much of it previously unexamined, Surette shows how this belief fostered the virulent anti-Semitism that pervades his work-–both poetry and prose-–from this time forward.
"An exceptionally cogent account of the dynamics between Pound and his polemical correspondents as they are evidenced in the mass of archival material Surette newly introduces to the published record. Sure to become a standard."--Choice
"With great learning and his customary acerbic rigor Surette digests Pound's reading, maps his influences, and shows how the poet lost himself in tangles of economic theory--a confusion he resolved by positing a cosmic racial conspiracy. This is intellectual history at its best."--Alec Marsh, author of Money and Modernity: Pound, Williams, and the Spirit of Jefferson

This is beautiful! I want to stay here! And I love how the transfers back to the mainland are so easy. Great info!
Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta: Review
Tucked away at the far end of beautiful Koh Lanta, gazing west across the calm Andaman Sea, lies the gorgeous Pimalai Resort. One of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, this stunning hideaway offers a level of style, serenity and solitude that is hard to beat. Beautiful hotels are scattered all over Thailand though, and often for killer prices too, so why bother stumping up the cash for a night or two of Pimalai opulence?
First, it is worth noting the price – and yes, for Thailand this will be classed as "expensive" – but a quick search online yields room rates for as little as £125 in the green season. Bear in mind that this will just about get you a bed and a roof over your head in central London, so try to put this in some sort of context! Budget backpackers, this might not be for you, but if you're after a bit of a treat and don't mind a little splurge, I can guarantee that your stay will be well worth the money.
Rooms themselves are massive – even the smallest 'Deluxe' room was huge – and are beautifully decorated. Decked out in traditional Lanna style dark woods and with warm red furnishings, they are at once comfortable and cosy – yet large windows and a wide balcony keep you connected to the jungle on your doorstep. Breakfast is yet another delight – and the humongous buffet stretching through several rooms is almost worth the price of the accommodation alone.
The villas are nestled in the canopy of the lush, wooded hills that the estate sits on. (The site is so large that a convoy of electric golf carts are constantly on hand to ferry guests up and down the steep slopes of the grounds. Walking is so passé). Looking back from the pool area up the hill shows the spread of the estate, and in the opposite direction the rest of the hotel's amenities stretch all the way down to a sweep of pristine beach.
Other communal spaces in the hotel are similarly opulent and stylish. Wandering around the hotel's grounds reveals numerous studies, reading areas, lounges and spaces to relax. Huge light fittings reflect off polished teak wood floors, and if the weather happens to turn against you, sinking into one of these plush sofas with a book is a more than pleasant way to pass an afternoon.
What you really want is for that warm Koh Lanta sun to shine however, to make use of Pimalai's best feature: its jaw-droppingly beautiful infinity pool. Even when I visited in peak season the pool area was quiet, with plenty of sun loungers available. Decorous staff are on hand to serve drinks, cocktails and snacks, and replenish jugs of iced water. The surroundings are the star of the show here however: perched on the hillside, the pool nestles into the surrounding jungle foliage, and even features a towering Banyan tree which stretches upwards behind the terrace.
From late morning the sun is on the pool, and throughout the afternoon and evening it slowly makes its way down towards the horizon before dipping into the Andaman sea. If there is a better place in the world from which to view a sunset, I'm yet to find it.
Walking around the Pimalai estate, it's hard not to notice the exquisite design touches, and the way in which traditional Thai elements are blended with the surrounding environment. From Koi ponds to hanging Buddhist bells, every corner of Pimalai thoughtfully and stylishly combines Asian touches with a modern aesthetic.
Parting with Pimalai is hard, but the good news is that you get to do it in style. With speedboat trips back to the mainland included in the hotel's complimentary transfer service, you will no doubt leave with a smile on your face – whilst, of course, plotting your return.

It's a wonderful place! And yep, stress-free transfers just seal the deal 😀

HOLLYWOOD - One of Jacksonville, Florida's oldest residents comedian Grandma Lee has advanced to the semi-finals on America's Got Talent.
AGT host Nick Cannon, who happens to be married to the delicious and nutritiously long-legged Mariah Carey said that 75-year-old Grandma Lee was shaking so bad backstage that her dentures literally popped out of her mouth hitting one of the stagehands on his left ear.
Cannon said that Roberto is resting comfortably at Hollywood's Wheel of Fortune Hospital and he should be released in about six days.
Granny Lee was asked if she was named after the famous Civil War Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
"No." She replied. "I was named after Lee Montepulciano, who was the chief cook on Christopher Columbus' ship The Santa Maria."
Gummy, as two-year-old granddaughter Dixiana Sue, calls her says that she has been doing stand-up for over 55 years. When asked where she had performed she replied all over.
She smiled and said that she had performed in the living room, the kitchen, the den, and in one of her two bathrooms.
She said she loved performing in the bathroom because it was always a standing room only crowd and if someone had to pee, hell you were right there.
Grandma Lee says that she is kind of self-conscious about her thighs. She says that they are just completely covered with cellulite.
She remarked that one day last week she was outside in a pair of Daisy Duke short shorts watering her petunias in front of her trailer when a man in a truck stopped by.
He walked over to her and he told her that he was a representative for The Goodyear Tire Company. She asked if he wanted to sell her some tires. He smiled and replied no that he wanted to hire her so that Goodyear could use her thighs to test out their new tires.
When the Sunshine State grandmother is asked what she looks for in a man, she quickly replies, a pulse. She then adds that with her a man does not have to have material things, stocks and bonds, a fancy car, or money. All she is looking for is a man who still has all of his original body parts, and that they are all still in the right place more or less.
Gummy said she had recently gone out to The Dodge City Cowpoker Steakhouse Restaurant in Jacksonville, with an 87-year-old surgeon who was still practicing medicine.
She said that all throughout their meal he kept asking her if she still had both of her kidneys. She answered yes. He then asked her if she was real fond of both of them. She said she got up, got her walker, and got the hell out of Dodge.
She says that she still loves to cook. Her favorite dishes are hamburger helper, baloney helper, grits helper, cornbread helper, and for desert jello helper.
Grandma Lee loves to make fun of herself. She said that one day last week one of her daughters-in-law Misty took her shopping for a new bra. She said that Misty picked out the Wonder Bra. She told her that it would help pick her puppies up and put them back up close to her neck where they're supposed to be.
Gummy said she looked at the bra and then at her daughter-in-law and said that first of all her puppies had turned into full grown bloodhounds decades ago and furthermore, she said that she had kinda gotten used to the pain of her watermelons resting on her thighs.
When America's Got Talent Judge Piers Morgan asked her what she would do if she were to win the $1 million first prize, Grandma Lee thought for a moment and said that she would buy herself three things. (1) A brand new double-wide trailer. (2) A brand new Kia Sorento and (3) An extreme make-over like the one that her idol Joan Rivers got.
Grandma Lee said, "Can you imagine. If Joan can spend $200,000 and make herself go from looking like a 98-year-old to a 68-year old, then this old Southern gal can spend $300,000 to make herself go from looking like a 75-year-old to a 25-year-old."
Judge Sharon Osbourne laughed and said, "You go for it Mrs!"
SIDENOTE: Grandma Lee is a good sport. She says that with her body she has to be. She says that one thing she has learned is to be sure and not stand to close to the curb on trash day.

Lucky Dino Review 2019
- LuckyDino Casino In A Nutshell
- Wide variety of games
- Reliable customer service
- Plenty of banking methods
- Mobile platform with most of its games
Games And Software
- There are a number of table games including blackjack, baccarat and roulette
- Over 200 slots available
- Live dealer games available
Having one of the world's best suppliers of casino games provide software and games is one of the main reasons why LuckyDino has come so far in such a little time frame. The casino has a one of the widest selection of games you will come along and the fun part is that the games are regularly updated. The online slots take the crown here when it comes to number and variety. You'll find jackpot slots, Classic slots and Video Slots like Wild Turkey and Space Wars.
LuckyDino is also home to a number of table games which are all available for instant play if you want a break away from the monotony of slots. Table games like Pontoon, Punto Banco and Red Dog can all be found in the casino alongside the many different versions of Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat. You can also play Craps, Carribean Stud and even Video Poker games like Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild and Joker Wild which are some of the most popular versions of Poker. All these games come with decent graphics so that you're experience is as immersive as possible.
The only downside to LuckyDino casino's selection of games is the fact that it does not have a Live casino. This means you cannot enjoy your favourite table games like Blackjack with a real dealer and this is a bummer considering that many avid gamblers love this section of an online casino. That said, the casino does have a mobile platform where you can play most of your favourite games on the go. There is no need to download any software and all you need is to use your device's browser to log in to your account. There are some pretty generous bonuses that are exclusive to the mobile platform including daily promotions.
LuckyDino's Sign Up Bonus And Bonus Codes
The operators of LuckyDino online casino know that one of the best ways to get new customers is by offering them a generous welcome bonus. It is common for online casinos to have both a no deposit welcome bonus followed by a deposit bonus. LuckyDino has both of these offers. To begin with, you first have to register for an account and this can be done easily through the signup option at the casino. To complete the registration process, you are supposed to verify your email and by doing so, you become eligible for the first no deposit bonus bundle.
The deposit bonus is where things get exciting. On your first deposit, you get to claim a 100% matched bonus up to $200 and another 50 free spins to play on the Big Bang Slot. The second deposit will also net you a nice deal of a 50% match bonus up to %200 alongside 50 more free spins that can be used on the slot Twin Spin. LuckyDino really goes out of its way to make your deposits seem worth it and as a precaution, there is a 50x wagering requirement on the bonus funds before you can make any withdrawals. The bonuses have to be claimed by 7 days after registration.
There are no bonus codes required so as to receive the bonuses and the only disadvantage is that the bonus is valid for players from Europe, Australia and Canada only. That said, new players are not the only ones who get to enjoy the generosity that LuckyDino has to offer since the casino also caters for its existing customers through its loyalty program called the DinoRewards. There is a progress bar that fills up the more you play and once you level up, you are awarded either the Free spins, Super spins or the Mega Spins which come with no wagering requirements. There are special days when the progress bar fills up faster than usual so levelling up becomes easier.
No Deposit Bonus And Free Spins
LuckyDino prides itself in having some of the most lucrative bonus deals out there. This is true if you consider the amount of both bonus funds and free spins that the casino offers its new players and the existing one. To begin with, new players get 7 free spins upon completing the LuckyDino registration process to play on the Lights slot. Not only does this boost come with no wagering requirements, but also you don't have to make any deposit.
For the spins to be credited, you have to verify your LuckyDino account through a code. The withdrawals from the free spins are capped at $500. Apart from the no deposit free spins, new players are awarded 100 free spins after they make their first deposit. These spins are divided equally between the 2 first deposits and the minimum deposit to get the bonus is $20. The spins are to be used on the Big Bang slot and Twins Spin Slot both of which are found in LuckyDino casino.
LuckyDino is, in fact, unique in the way it offers its bonuses especially when it comes to the free spins. This is because there are no wagering requirements that are imposed on them, a feature that not many casinos have. The free spins are also awarded the more you play at the casino.
Playing On Mobile Devices
- Available for both Android and iOS operating systems
- Instant play: no need to download any software
Many gamblers enjoy playing their favourite casino games on their mobile devices or iPad/iPhone and this is why LuckyDino offers a mobile platform. You do not have to download any software or applications since you can easily access your games from your mobile device's browser and start playing provided you have a steady internet connection.
Speaking of mobile devices, LuckyDino online casino's mobile platform is compatible with devices that run on the Android or iOS operating systems. This basically means that whether it's a smartphone or tablet from LG, Samsung or HTC, or an iPad or iPhone, you can find most, if not all, of the games and features that are available on the desktop version. Gaming experience on a cell phone is on par with Leo Vegas, which is often considered the best mobile casino of 2019.
Banking: Deposit And Withdraw Methods
LuckyDino, like many other online casinos, offers its players a number of banking methods to make their deposits and withdrawals. All of the methods that the casino uses are secure and there is little to no risk of players' information landing on unauthorized hands. The main deposit methods include eCheck, credit and debit cards branded with either Visa or Mastercard.
The withdrawals can be done through the same deposit methods but these take time depending on which means you use. Since LuckyDino wants to keep its customers happy, the transactions are processed as quickly as possible with e-wallets taking between 4 to 24 hours while the other means taking an average of 1 to 5 days.
Customer Support
Any online casino that wants to retain its customers and still earn more needs to have a reliable customer support system. LuckyDino makes this possible through a Live Help option and a support email. These are the 2 main ways that you can use to contact the casino and it would be nice to see a phone number included in the future.
- Live chat option
- Support email
Get Lucky at Lucky Dino
For a new player in the gambling scene, LuckyDino has really tried to match up to the competition. The casino employs software from NetEnt so the variety and quality of its games are not in question. The casino also has decent bonuses that are more generous than most other online casinos. However, the fact that it is not available in more languages or the missing phone number for customer support services could make it lose some customers. All in all, the casino is still worth checking out.

1. Where does the money generated from permit sales and parking fines go?
The revenue generated from permit sales and parking fines goes directly to fund parking lot and garage maintenance, and the enhancement of parking services. Our campus has grown significantly since students began bringing cars to campus, and so it's important that we maintain safe and suitable parking options.
Examples from past years include:
Expanded online services such as go.lehigh.edu/parking (where you can now purchase a permit, appeal a citation, pay a citation, and manage your parking services account online)
Expanded hours in the Parking Office (Now open during lunch during the fall and spring semesters!)
Meters with Ten Minute Free buttons and reloadable SMARTcards
Extensive seal-coating and repaving on all campuses to improve safety of lots
Increased and improved signage and line-painting to decrease parking ambiguity
Resurfaced thirteen fraternity and sorority lots in the last three years
2. What impacts the cost of a Lehigh parking permit?
Our campus has grown significantly since students began bringing cars to campus, and the permit rates allow us to continue to provide safe, suitable parking options. As the campus grows and demand for spots and lots increases, our permit fees must also increase. Permit fees aim to balance the supply and demand of parking spots throughout campus, as well as help fund parking maintenance. The permit fees are reinvested into improving current parking options, maintaining parking lots and structures, and managing the administrative side of Parking Services.
Lehigh's permit rates and parking fines are among the lowest throughout Lehigh Valley campuses. A permit to park by your residence is about $60.00 a month for students.
Students also have access to Lehigh's bus service, some of which is funded by parking fees, for no additional cost. There are even special bus routes that take students to places outside of campus like the Lehigh Valley Mall and Wal-Mart. First year students and those who don't have vehicles on campus can also take advantage of Lehigh's car sharing service, provided by Enterprise CarShare. Ride sharing is also now available through Zimride at www.zimride.com/lehigh.
3. Why are parking tickets given and what impacts the cost of a parking ticket?
By enforcing parking on Lehigh's campus, we ensure that there are adequate spaces available for faculty, staff, students, and visitors who have registered their vehicles and/or paid for their parking. When people park on campus illegally, it means someone with a valid permit loses out on a space. Our parking fees discourage violations, but they also assist in subsidizing the maintenance of our parking lots and parking structures, our roadways, and our Parking Services office. The safety of our students and the Lehigh community is our number one concern, and proper maintenance is crucial to achieving safe and suitable parking options.
If you are planning to have a car on campus, please note that citations can be avoided by registering your vehicle and parking in your designated area. An off-campus commuter parking permit is only $48.00 and allows you to park your car overnight on Mountaintop Campus. This is a cost effective way of having a car on campus and avoiding the fees associated with doing so illegally, which will result in a $50.00 fine.
View complete list of violations and fines.
4. Can parking tickets be paid on-line?
Yes. Please visit go.lehigh.edu/parking to appeal a ticket, pay a ticket, or to manage your parking services account.
5. What if I only need a parking permit for the fall semester?
You would need to purchase a permit for the Academic Year and pay the appropriate fee. However, should you find that you do not need your permit for the second semester; you may return it for a pro-rated refund less a service fee of $5.00. You must return the permit by December 31.

- Saucon Village residents are not issued RGT permits as they are already allowed to park in the ZAC garage.
8. I live off-campus and there is not enough parking for everyone who lives in my house. Can I park on campus overnight?
You may obtain an off-campus commuter parking permit which allows parking on the Mountaintop campus at any time, including overnight. Overnight parking is not allowed on the Asa Packer campus except for students with valid residential parking permits, who may park ONLY in their assigned residential parking areas.
All students with valid parking permits (including commuter) may park in the student commuter parking lot located on Mountaintop Campus at all times and in unreserved faculty/staff parking areas Monday through Friday 4:00 pm – 6:00 am and all day on weekends.

If you are unable to obtain the permit prior to your arrival, visitors may park at and pay any of the parking meters located throughout the campus. Meters can be paid using the Passport Mobile App, SmartCards, or coins. Visitors may also park in the Zoellner Arts Center parking garage, level 1 at $1/hour. Please park in one of the 50 spaces, make note of the space number, and proceed to the Pay by Space kiosk located on level 1 next to the elevator. Accepted forms of payment are Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Spaces may also be paid for using the Passport Mobile App.

- Lehigh ID
- Payment

If not paid within ten days, the fine amount is transferred to your bursar bill and is then subject to the payment policies and requirements issued by that office.
13. How long does it take to get a reply once I have filed a Parking Appeal?
The Parking Appeals Committee meets weekly and reviews appeals in the order they are received. Although the exact amount of time to receive an answer depends on the volume of appeals, please allow at least 12-14 business days.
The appeals committee consists of Lehigh students, faculty, and staff members. You may appeal tickets online at: go.lehigh.edu/parking
14. Do you have a map for on-campus parking?
15. What happens to a First Year student if he/she is caught with a vehicle on campus?

Your search for "ACVR2B" returned 48 siRNAs
activin A receptor type 2B
Activins are dimeric growth and differentiation factors which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Activins signal through a heteromeric complex of receptor serine kinases which include at least two type I (I and IB) and two type II (II and IIB) receptors. These receptors are all transmembrane proteins, composed of a ligand-binding extracellular domain with cysteine-rich region, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with predicted serine/threonine specificity. Type I receptors are essential for signaling; and type II receptors are required for binding ligands and for expression of type I receptors. Type I and II receptors form a stable complex after ligand binding, resulting in phosphorylation of type I receptors by type II receptors. Type II receptors are considered to be constitutively active kinases. This gene encodes activin A type IIB receptor, which displays a 3- to 4-fold higher affinity for the ligand than activin A type II receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

'Robin Hood of electrical wiring' sheds light on the rich/poor divide
BY SAM SPOKONY | Those extended power outages that followed Hurricane Sandy gave us a small taste of the struggle faced every day by millions of people in developing countries. With that shock still fresh in our minds, "Powerless" will give English speakers everywhere an extraordinarily intense, yet well-balanced look at how an insufficient supply of electricity continues to devastate the impoverished Indian city of Kanpur — and it should force us in the West to acknowledge our own position of material privilege, while also confronting our preconceived notions about when it is or isn't right to stop following the law.
With around three million people living within its borders, Kanpur is about twice as populous as Manhattan — but well over 10 percent of its residents live without regular electricity. The film thus begins by following Loha Singh, a diminutive, crafty and mostly penniless character who's known throughout the city as a kind of Robin Hood of electrical wiring. Whether it's a household that needs to power a water pump for a family's survival or a local factory that will be doomed if the machinery fails, Singh and others like him use katiyas (illegal, makeshift power lines that tap into the government supply grid) to divert the flow of electricity to those who either can't afford to pay for it, or simply can't access it. But, for all its benefits, we later learn that not everyone in town is proud of Singh or his line of work.
To capture the other half of the issue, the directors shift their focus to Ritu Maheshwari, the new managing director of KESCO (Kanpur's equivalent of ConEd), as she attempts to crack down harder than ever on "katiyabaaz" like Singh. In board meetings, press conferences and extensive interviews, Maheshwari tries to explain that her perceived lack of mercy for the hundreds of thousands of "powerless" residents of Kanpur is part of her wish to create better conditions for everyone. If KESCO cuts off the thieves, it can actually make money via bill-paying consumers — and if it makes money, it can build new power generators to more effectively serve the city's population.
But, to use a power pun, there's just no stable connection between KESCO and the poor everyman of Kanpur. The two factions, who sit on opposite sides of socioeconomic privilege, can't overcome the deep-seated resentment and the sheer lack of understanding that pervades this entire issue. The only sparks here are those that lead to explosions of anger — protests, insults and riots. Finally, we get glimpses of the politicians who say they're going to make an impact on behalf of Kanpur's struggling residents, as well as many others throughout India who live without electricity. But their words seem just as hollow as those we often hear in New York, when elected officials tell us they're going to save us from the evils of the establishment.
This is a beautifully executed documentary that captures the tension of a thought-provoking issue without creating one-dimensional heroes or villains. The story of power in Kanpur, told in its honest entirety, will provide a truly valuable learning experience to Western audiences.

The Concrete Cities collection brings to you mappings of favorite cities around the world in concrete. This hand-craft series that spans from concrete coasters to wall and table art pieces, draws inspiration from the materiality and patterns of the urban environments and stands out for its focus on detail and application techniques.
Using the city center map as a starting point, the designers transformed it into a three-dimensional every-day use object, the coaster, inviting the user to recall memories of his visit and his walks in the city, while enjoying a cup of coffee. The souvenir became an object of aesthetic and design value, as well as sentimental, and concrete was selected as the material that expresses with minimalism, clarity and elevated aesthetics the urban life and memories.
The collection items are produced using a special cement mortar, product of several material and proportions experimentations, specially treated for a matte, water-resistant finish, also featuring an added cork tabletop protection on the bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Okay, that's a lie.
None of these questions has actaully been asked and certainly not frequently.
However, should you be inclined to ask any of the following questions, the answers are provided here.
1. What is the purpose of ShowMeTheMINI.org?
SMTM is simply a site to share images, videos and other documents related to the MINI.
SMTM is not a forum. There are already plenty of great local, national and international MINI forums with lots of MINI information and conversation threads.
2. I'm already a member of a MINI forum and I can post pictures there. Why join SMTM?
The forums are a great place for chat and sharing information and experiences. However it can be quite a challenge to find a pic of a particular performance mod or color combination. SMTM has keywords associated with each image, video or other document. These keywords are fully searchable, allowing you to easily find what you're looking for.
3. I'm already a member of a MINI forum. Can I use SMTM to host images for display there?
ABSOLUTELY! Many forum users have no place to host their images or can't figure out how to get the secret URL from their garage pic to post in a thread. SMTM provides an easily viewable URL that can be used to add an SMTM hosted pic to a thread on any of the popular MINI forums. You may also host your MINI-for-Sale images here if you are selling your MINI on Ebay or some other online site.
4. Do I have to sign up just to view images and videos on SMTM?
No. You only need an account if you want to contribute to SMTM, but If you've got pics, you really should share them.
5. Do I retain the copyright for my contributed images?
Yes. Assuming they are your creation to begin with. I will not use your images without your express permission for any purpose other than displaying on this site.
6. Are you planning on selling my email address, making it available to others, or spamming me with daily messages?
No, I will not sell or share your email address without your permission nor will I spam you with endless annoying messages. I will use it if I have a legitimate need to contact you. Also, I need a place to re-send your password should you forget it in the future.
7. My original image was 1900x1425 pixels. Why is it only 800x600 after I uploaded it?
Any image with a dimension greater than 800 pixels is reduced to 800 pixels on the longest side, keeping the original aspect ratio. JPEG compression is also applied to further reduce the file size. This may cause a small amount of pixelization in the uploaded image. This is in an effort to keep file sizes down for quick loading into the browser and to keep me under my allowed space on my hosting server.
8. I just uploaded some images but am unable to find them with the search feature. What gives?
A site administrator must first verify that an image is MINI related and that appropriate search phrases are applied before the image is available in the search feature. You can immediately link to any uploaded image, it just won't be available via search until validated. Be aware that non-MINI related images will be purged by the administraor.
FYI, I've made the uploads folder browseable so you can just point your browser to
if you want to bypass the search feature and just browse all uploads.

Two years ago, Ryan Stokes was murdered by the Kansas City Police Department after his friend was falsely accused of stealing an iPhone by a drunk man at the Kansas City Power & Light District. Ryan was unarmed and was shot from behind by a KCPD officer. He had no criminal record.
After his death, police and media attempted to drag his good name through the mud in an attempt to justify his murder. The Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners went as far as awarding a certificate of commendation to the officer who killed Ryan.
It's time to set the record straight and correct the false image of Ryan. He was a father and a hard worker who was deeply committed to his family and his community. This is the third in a series of videos that will provide an accurate and complete picture of who Ryan was and the community and family who loved and adored him, and who still grieve his loss.

King Salman outlines vision for 'stability and unity'
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman. (SPA)
World leaders remember 'Islam-West mediator' Abdullah
Smooth transition as Salman becomes new king
King Abdullah passes away
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman has pledged to continue the current policies of the government, to ensure stability and unity in the country.
In a speech following the death of King Abdullah on Friday, King Salman also urged the nation's citizens to pledge their allegiance to new Crown Prince Muqrin and to the new deputy crown prince and second deputy premier, Muhammad bin Naif.
"We will continue by the grace of Allah and His strength to cling to the right path followed by the state since its inception by the founder, the late King Abdul Aziz and his sons after him. We will never deviate from it because our constitution is the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet, peace be upon him," King Salman said.
The king commended the service of King Abdullah to the nation, the wider Muslim community and the Arab world. He also asked Allah to help him with this "great trust" of the monarchy, to guide him onto the right path and avoid "falsehood."
Quoting from the Qur'an to highlight the transience of life, he said that everyone on earth would perish and have to face their Creator. With a heart "filled with grief and sadness," he extended condolences to the "loyal Saudi people and the Arab and Islamic ummah" on the death of King Abdullah.
He said King Abdullah had spent his entire life trying to follow the precepts of God, "strengthening his religion, serving his nation and people, and defending the causes of the Arab and Islamic" world. "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return," the king said.
King Salman also urged Arabs and Muslims to seek solidarity in the face of the challenges currently confronting them. He said this would be the policy of Saudi Arabia as it moves to tackle obstacles facing it.
"We will continue in this country, which Allah has honored by choosing it as the platform for His message and the Qibla (direction in which Muslims pray), to boost unity and defend our nation's causes." He said the Kingdom would be guided by the teachings of Islam, a religion of "peace, mercy and moderation."
"I ask Allah to guide me to serve our dear people, realize their hopes, preserve our country and nation's security and stability, and to protect it from all evil. He is able to do that, there is no strength except with Allah," the king said.

Christian Harder Soars to First-Ever PokerStars Championship Title
A familiar face has won the first-ever PokerStars Championship Bahamas.
Formerly known as the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, the annual stop at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas has been a staple of the poker tour for over a decade and part of the European Poker Tour for most of it.
Now rebranded under the new PokerStars Championship umbrella, the event still drew the true elite of the online and live poker worlds and one of them, Christian Harder, claimed the first-ever Main Event title on Saturday.
Coming full circle in his poker career, Harder won $429,664 for the title in the exact same locale he played his first-ever live tournament back in 2008.
Backer Meets Prodigy
Harder, known as charder online, was just a young upstart back in 2008 playing his first big live event at the PCA. When he finished 7th for $200,000, he made his backer - Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy - a tidy profit.
Fast forward to this past weekend and it was Harder and Josephy heads-up for the crown. The two agreed to a deal that paid them each over $400k and left $10,000 to play for.
Harder finished Josephy off - himself having a pretty great year after making the WSOP Main Event November Nine in 2016 - quickly to claim the first-ever PSC Bahamas title.
Here are the full payouts and results for the PSC Bahamas Main Event:
PokerStars Championship Bahamas Main Event
Dates: January 8-14, 2017
Players: 738
Buy-in: $4,717 + $283
Total prize pool: $3,376,712
|Christian Harder
|PokerStars player
|Cliff Josephy
|Michael Vela
|Aleksei Opalikhin
|Michael Gentili
|Rasmus Glæsel
The 738 players was quite a drop in the field since the real heydays of the PCA in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Over 1,500 players took part in several PCA main events and Poorya Nazari claimed $3m for the title back in 2009.
Kenney Continues to Crush in Bahamas
Another of the group of online grinders to really take over the live scene over the past decade is New Yorker Bryn Kenney. The brash, aggressive player has always felt comfortable playing amongst his peers in the Bahahas and it shows in his results.
Kenney has a dozen cashes over the years in the Bahamas, primarily in High Roller and Super High Roller events. All told he's earned over $5m in the Caribbean and that didn't slow down this week.
Kenney cashed six times in 2017, five of those in High Roller Events. He won two events and finished 24n, 4th, 7th and 9th in the others to claim over $1.7m in cashes.
That pushes Kenney's career live earnings up over $13.6m and places him 14th on the overall money list for American players.


text: Hey everyone, This is my first post here (and I hope not my last). Last week I flew down to Orlando for an interview for attractions. My interview went extremely well and my interviewer and I were laughing and talking it up for over an hour. I explained that I was ready to move from Springfield, Illinois to Orlando to work for Disney (it has been a dream of mine since I first went to Disney in 1985). Long story short, I was informed that I was a perfect fit for attractions and although they didn't have a position for me that day, I would definitely be receiving an offer of employment as soon as possible. I have checked my dashboard everyday and it says wait list. I recently lost my job and immediately began traveling to Disney (4 times in 1.5 months) I have auditioned for shows and parades and interviewed for attractions. My question is how long do people usually have to endure the painful task of waiting for a call or email to know for sure you have a job? I appreciate you responses.
