Just over 20 days after the Crafton amendment went public, we're in about the same position we were at day one. While editorials and blogs have called him names and speculated about his motives, Councilman Eric Crafton has outcampaigned his opponents and continues to dominate the coverage of the amendment. The other side is too busy mocking him to admit that, of course. But it's true. Remember the website, the robo-calls, and the postcards? Think of any story about the issue. All Eric all the time!
Three lines of counterattack have been opened, but they haven't been developed. Here they are waiting for flesh to be joined to bone.
1. Getting the opposition organized. June 9 was the last time we heard anything about who might be leading the opposition to the amendment. Can you hear the crickets in the background? It's kind of quiet right now.
2. The money trail. Further exploration of this issue might really knock the credibility of the campaign.
3. A stark discussion of the harms that the amendment might bring about. While it's true that Gail Kerr hurts her argument by being so insulting personally to Crafton in the piece, she paints the most vivid picture of the potential harms that the amendment would bring about.
The editorials and the letters and the blog discussions have been helpful and entertaining. But Crafton's amendment will not die the death of a thousand (paper) cuts. Someone is going to have to step up and lead the opposition's campaign.

Call The Siemon Law Firm today at 770-888-5120 to arrange your consultation.
I attached a picture of the two kiddos. You really helped save them. While [my wife] was in her addiction, they would have ended up harmed if she had won custody. THANK YOU for helping save my boys. Thank you!!!
I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work on my case. I appreciate the extra effort you provided to get the case signed and finalized. It was a rough summer, but things are really starting to turn around for me. I appreciate you and your staff's work on helping me make this transition.
I worked with Sam Siemon and I have to say that the staff and lawyers at the firm were very professional and understanding of my situation. They explained every step we would take and possible outcomes. I am very pleased with the end result and would strongly suggest working with this group. They helped me through a tough time in my life and would recommend them to anyone going through a similar situation. ~ Former Client
The Siemon Law Firm represented me in my divorce. They were always there to take my calls and were always very helpful. They really fought hard for me and got me a great deal. After talking to all of my friends who have been divorced I know just how good a deal they won for me. ~ Former Client
Over the years I have Worked with both Sam and Josie Siemon. They helped me get through my divorce and have represented me two times since the divorce when my ex-husband did not do the things he was supposed to do under the divorce decree. Both Sam and Josie really seem to care about me and my case and have really taken the time to make sure I got what I needed. If you need a family law lawyer, you should use their firm. ~ Former Client
About a year after my divorce, my ex-wife sued me for contempt. I hired The Siemon Law Firm, P.C. to represent me because Josie was my attorney in the divorce action. By the time the case was over, I had custody of our young son, my ex-wife was paying me child support through garnishment of her wages, and she ended up paying my attorneys' fees and expenses! ~ Cherokee County
Josie Siemon has all the qualities that make her # 1 in her profession. She is warm, compassionate, trustworthy, very organized, and handles your case as if she is spending her money. In the courtroom she always takes over and the TIGER in her comes out so you can always count on her as " Being the best possible for you ! " ~ Forsyth County
My experience with Siemon Law Firm was smooth and easy given the difficult circumstances. The knowledge of the firm was second to none. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is going through this situation. Special thanks to Sam and his paralegal Samantha, for all of their expertise and compassion.

16 February, 2008
Note: sorry about the story being out of sequence but all attempts at posting it failed. Had to wait until my return.
February 2, 2008 — For the first time in a long time I'm taking a trip to NYC, my old 'home town'. The airport (I use this term advisedly) I'm leaving from, Gatwick, just outside London, has been tranformed into one, gigantic shopping mall (with runways attached as an afterthought).
The security 'check-in' is OTT, now you even have to take your shoes off (shades of the 'shoe bomber'). How long before we get stripped searched and every orifice in our battered bodies probed, I wonder? If it gets to that point, you'll never see me in an airport ever again.
Once through the by now thoroughly misnamed check-in you enter the madness zone, your thoughts drowned out by the roar of thousands of trapped consumers who are now imprisoned literally, in a corporate wet dream.
With nothing to do until your aluminium tube squirts you in this or that direction, you have no choice but to consume something, anything, unless of course you want to wander endlessly through this valley of lost souls, aimlessly, until departure time.
As I sit here consuming my overpriced 'caffé latté, I notice a giant sign that glares at me, "Gatwick. Building a Brighter Future". How can airport mall say it's building ANY kind of future, let alone a brighter one? The people who market this place are surely cretins.
Above it, an even bigger sign reads, "TAX FREE PRICES FOR EVERYONE". Delusion piled on top of delusion.
It's insanity. I'm horrified, overwhelmed by the 'reality' corporate capitalism has trapped us in. Partly it has to do with the atrocious acoustics of the place. I'm privy to snatches of conversation within an unknown radius of where I'm sitting but of course, none of it makes any sense. A woman, whose location I couldn't actually identify, but it sounded as if it was right next my ear, has a laugh like a drain. I search in vain for the source of the bellow but it's coming at me from every direction.
By now I feel physically sick, and for the life of me, all I want to do is get the hell out of this bedlam and head for my home but I'm trapped here, this is my punishment, Gatwick, the Gateway to Dante's Inferno. How the poor sods who work in this awful, soul-destroying place tolerate it, is beyond me.
I seek solace in my laptop, maybe I'll check my mail but I discover that I have to pay in order to connect to my various and sundry mail servers. The 'hot spot' has gone cold on me.
I scan the punters faces, all have a dazed, almost vacant expression as they wander the vast space which still looks like a temporary construction, worse, a converted aircraft hanger even though I know it isn't. Hugo Boss, Harrods, McDonalds, two floors of it, on and on it goes. BAA should put up a sign like the one they had at the entrance to Auschwitz only instead, it should read, 'Abandon all hope (and your wallets), all ye who enter'. It's a fucking nightmare! What have we done to deserve this? Oh Father I have sinned and been condemned to spend the rest of my life in an airport shopping mall.
I wonder, am I going insane? Is this what a panic attack feels like? I get up and find a new place to sit, maybe it'll be a little quieter? I go into consumer mode and think that maybe there's money to made from a 'quiet zone', away from all this madness then I remember that's what first class is all about (but you're still paying).
Something in the caffé latté has triggered my one and only allergic reaction, the symptoms of which resemble a head cold, I've no idea what causes it. My nose starts to run. I retrieve a soggy napkin from my pocket.
I gaze around. The 'babes' are either packed tightly into skinny jeans or have rolls of blubber cascading out of their 'skinny' jeans. The guys mostly resemble Eminem lookalikes; cut down jeans, sneakers and hoodies seem to be the clothing of 'choice'.
It hits me that all those dystopic novels by JG Ballard were modelled through some trick of time displacement, on this hell on earth, or maybe it's the other way around.
People stop and stare around, lost, bemused or perhaps just plain stupified like I am by this horrific place. I gaze at the clock: an hour and ten minutes before my tin can takes off. Can I last out?
Lord I have sinned and Gatwick Airport is my punishment.

Next week at Denman College
Here's a preview of the design I will be working on next week, as a large sashiko panel. I'm planning to use various shades of cream and white sashiko thread, in medium and fine thicknesses, plus hand-dyed, shaded and naturally dyed threads, on natural indigo fabric. The image of the Bodhisattva Kannon (Guan Yin in Chinese) riding on a giant carp is one I've adapted from several different images, with the koi carp coming from the same source as the koi scroll hanging in "Japanese Sashiko Inspirations" - much larger this time!
For more information about the Denman Diamon celebrations, check out the WI's website.

The first BioShock was a critically acclaimed hit, and was highly regarded as the game of 2007. It introduced you to the underwater world of Rapture, put you up against Big Daddies, and delivered a unique and engaging story. 2K Games hopes to perfect the world of Rapture with the sequel, BioShock 2. Your second trip to Rapture will hand you a Bid Daddy suit and a drill and will also throw you in a ring of Splicers for some multiplayer fun. BioShock 2 has the heavy task of reintroducing us to the world of Rapture, and establishing Bioshock as a series and not just a one hit wonder. Now, "would you kindly" read on.
The story of BioShock 2 takes place ten years after the original game. You take on the role of a prototype Big Daddy, commonly referred to as, Subject Delta; you are also the first Big Daddy to be bonded with a Little Sister. It just so happens that the Little Sister is Elanor Lamb, the daughter of Sofia Lamb who is the antagonist of BioShock 2. Your Little Sister is taken from you while you're left for dead, and after waking up your only task is to get her back. That is the story of BioShock 2 in simple terms, but there is way more to it as you progress and find audio diaries. You will learn the origins behind some of the things that make up Rapture, and although Sofia Lamb is no Andrew Ryan, BioShock 2 still has some good characters to follow the story. You'll get the most out of the story if you played the first game, but first timers could get through it with a few minor confusions. BioShock 2 delivers a good story that is easier to digest but it doesn't top the first.
Playing as a Big Daddy in BioShock 2 has its advantages on the gameplay. For starters, you can now duel-wield a plasmid and a gun, which eliminates having to switch back and forward between plasmids and guns. Not many new plasmids are introduced in BioShock 2, you pretty much only need and use the basic ones like the electric, fire, and freeze plasmids. Luckily you can upgrade the plasmids, making every plasmid much better to use; turn a simple fireball into a flamethrower out of the palm of your hand. The same goes for the weapons in the game. You get a shotgun, machine gun, rocket launcher, and a new gun called the Rivet Gun, and a couple more. If you're lucky enough to find the hidden weapon upgrade stations in the levels, then you can turn do more damage and eventually add lightning striking shots and other special things. Being a Bid Daddy also comes with the infamous Drill. You can drill your enemies and leap towards them with a melee hit so long as you have fuel for it. I didn't find myself using the drill after the initial try in the earlier stages of the game, mainly because it's not as great as you would expect.
The game does take place in stage like form, so there is no going back to explore, once you leave the main area you can never go back. There are also segments of the game which have you out in the water life of Rapture, but they feel too linear and there is no sense of real exploration to them. Gathering ADAM, to buy plasmids, comes in a form of adopting a Little Sister by killing her Big Daddy. Once you become her Big Daddy, you can take her to certain dead enemy bodies in which she begins to suck the ADAM out via a needle. While the gathering, you must protect yourself and the Little Sister from Splicers which show up to take the ADAM. these gatherings are optional so you're not forced into taking part in this, but it'll help if you want to make progress. Once a gathering is complete you can choose whether you want to rescue the Little Sister or harvest her. These choices and a few other moral choices in the game will determine the ending of the game.
BioShock 2 introduces a first for Bioshock with the addition of multiplayer. You can choose between several different Splicers as who you want to play as, although it makes no difference. You have an apartment in which you can make minor customizations to your character, check the leaderboards, switch between weapons, and listen to audio diaries from the Splicers in the multiplayer; which give some added info on the history of your character. you can find the common game types online like deathmatch, team deathmatch, and team survival. but you can also find Capture the Flag and Oddball but with both having a BioShock 2 twist to them. I found all the game types enjoyable and the overall multiplayer was great, definitely not something that was just slapped on for the added value. There are a bunch of unlockables in the multiplayer so there is incentive to keep playing but I question the long lasting appeal of the multiplayer compared to other shooters out now.
In terms of sound and graphics, BioShock 2 is great. The game looks way better than the original, but that's expected. you can choose to make the game run at 60fps in the options menu, but if you do then you're open to screen tearing issues and frame rate problems.The sound in BioShock is one I particularly enjoy due to the sounds of the 1960's type of music. It's appropriate when it needs to be and when the lights are out and you're roaming in the dark, the score kicks in for that part. The voice acting is pretty good, I have nothing more to say or anything negative on it. Just know that no one delivers like Armin Shimerman did for Andrew Ryan.
2K Games made the improvements it needed to make in the first game with BioShock 2, but it lacks the depth the story had in the first game. The return to Rapture might of lost some of its nostalgia for some but you must return. Not doing so will only make you miss out on a great sequel. BioShock 2 solidifies that the name BioShock isn't just a one hit wonder, it is now a great series of games that I hope continues on.

Kungsleden has completed three large climate projects on different properties in Västerås. The projects have used new technology in order to meet both the Property Managers' and customers' requirements.
As part of our efforts to lower our energy consumption in our properties, we have installed the SmartLight product at one of our properties in Västerås. SmartLight is a "light cube" containing prisms which enhance the natural daylight and thus minimizes the need of electrical lighting during the day.
The prisms are so effective that the need for electrical lighting during the day is virtually non-existent regardless of the weather conditions.


text: A blonde, a red head, and a brunette were walking on the beach when they found a magic lamp. They began rubbing it and genie came out and said, "You each may have one wish." The red head thought for a while and said, "Even though blondes are stupid, they have so more fun, I wish to be blonde." and she was turned blonde. The brunette agreed, "That's true, I really want to have more fun too, even though I'll be dumber, I wish to be blonde" and she became blonde also. The blonde looks at the two other blondes and said, "I just don't think I have enough fun. I don't care if I becomer even more dumb, make me more blonde, woo!" So the genie granted her wish and made her a man.

No Compromise, more commonly known as NoCo, is an alternative rock trio from Silver Spring, Maryland. The band's sound often draws comparisons to Foo Fighters, Weezer, and Green Day, as well as edgier grunge and metal acts. NoCo fuses driving rhythms and distinctive guitar lines with pop-oriented vocals to set their sound apart from other alternative rock imitators. The band displays a diverse sonic palate with songs catchy enough to appeal to fans of lighter genres, yet other tracks that reveal the group's metal and hardcore influences.
The current lineup came together in 2006 and consists of Justin Fry on bass and lead vocals, Jack Kwait-Blank on guitar and vocals, and William Bowen on drums and vocals.
In spring 2008 NoCo released a seven song EP, This Could Be You, representing the first full songwriting collaboration between the current members of the lineup. The album instantly drew praise from fans and critics alike for its tight sound and broad appeal.
"Their overall sound is pleasing. Think of a downtuned, grungier Jimmy Eat World without Auto-Tune, circa 2000. Altogether radio-friendly, the band takes another step forward, production-wise." — Matt Brundage.
Craig "Bam-Bam" Stegall of Away Team concurred, writing "Stylistically, it's great. Writing, both musically and lyrically, is impeccable."
Although the band has proved they can produce solid tracks in the studio, NoCo prides itself on its energetic live performances. "We don't go out there every night to just 'put on another show.' We want everyone in the audience to feel something because that's what music is supposed to be about," lead singer and bassist Justin Fry explains. NoCo feels very strongly about fan involvement and believes that ultimately a loyal fan base will be the key to their continued success.

*This post is compensated by QVC however all opinions are completely my own*
I'll never forget the first "higher end" eyeshadow I bought was by Urban Decay. It was the color moondust and I LOVED it. It was the lighter shade I was looking for with a little bit of shimmer. Since then, Urban Decay has always been one of my favorite brands for eye shadow particularly. It's long lasting and very pigmented.
Jewel tones are all over the runway right now and the newest palette released by Urban Decay includes many of these gorgeous rich tones. I was able to play around with it a little bit before taking these pictures and loved a few of the shades. I always gravitate towards deep purples and if I'm feeling really bold, a green/blue.
They are also offering deals on many of their signature/top-selling products like their All-Nighter Setting Spray (I have this and love it) and their eyeshadow primer. I also just got the naked3 palette and LOVE the shades included. This particular palette includes a lot of pink, bronze and brown tones.

Gingersnap Creations Art Swap
These are my ATCs for Gingersnap Creations' latest art swap, which is ATCs with the theme "Soar". I used mainly Artistic Outpost and Oxford Impressions stamps, and added some dictionary and thesaurus pages, glimmer mists, distress inks, and some brads and tags here and there.
I've been working on a few things that I can't share just yet, and mourning the closing of Cornish Heritage Farms. It's so sad to see a company with such quality stamps close its doors, but Liz and Richard Pomeroy (the owners) are on an exciting adventure to a new location, moving the family and farm and switching life up a bit. I wish them all the best. They are still taking new stamp orders until July 15th, then they will stop making new stamps and liquidate the stock on hand starting July 16th. So if there's anything on your wishlist, this is the last chance......
A few pictures from life in our household... here is a picture of the sun setting over Lake Erie, taken on our recent family reunion with my husband's family.

NGA Medicaid Proposal Might Eliminate Coverage for Some Children
Between 500,000 and 1.5 million children would lose health insurance coverage under a National Governors Association proposal to help reduce Medicaid costs, according to a study released Monday by PICO, CQ HealthBeat reports. NGA's proposal to Congress would raise copayments, premiums and deductibles that are now covered by Medicaid.
PICO, a national network of faith-based community organizations, said many low-income families would not seek needed health care under NGA's proposed plan because states could charge children living in families above the poverty level new access fees, CQ HealthBeat reports. In addition, the study indicates that about 70% of children live in states that charge some low-income children premiums. PICO members criticized the NGA proposal and said lawmakers should not reduce federal Medicaid spending in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) supported the Medicaid cuts and said, "It's important to understand that the Medicaid reform effort is about fixing loopholes and stopping abusive spending so that more money is available to help states reach those in need both in the short and long term."
NGA issued its plan amid congressional debates over a proposed $10 billion reduction in the growth of Medicaid spending as part of the budget reconciliation process (CQ HealthBeat, 9/12).
NGA's proposal is available online. Note: You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the proposal.

1984. Germany comprises the western BRD and the eastern DDR. Families, railways, ideas – all have been cut in two.
The DDR has been Russified. Its population is monitored by the Orwellian-sounding Ministry for State Security (or Stasi, from the German for 'state security', STAatsSIicherheit). At its Berlin headquarters, the Stasi keeps files on all individuals and organisations suspected of anti-DDR activity. The motto of the Stasi is 'Shield and Sword of the Party' – and so its officers are both passive in their absorption of information and active in their destruction of lives connected (perhaps only by rumour) to subversion.
The story of The Lives of Others can be summarised in few words. Gerd Wiesler is an underachieving, isolated Stasi officer. He is assigned to monitor the activities of a playwright called Georg Dreyman, who is suspected of subversion and contact with the GDR. Wiesler begins his surveillance with gusto, and the expertise with which his team install their apparatus – behind electric sockets, in telephones – speaks to the frightening efficiency of a police state. These Stasi officers are people too – they love their work.
Ulrich Mühe as Herr Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler
As the surveillance continues, Wiesler becomes infected by the goodness and purity of Dreyman, the writer. Dreyman is a firm friend to those in his coterie damaged by the state's capricious attitude to art. He is a forgiving and faithful husband. And, when he sits down to play a sonata, Wiesler is listening from his bird's nest in the attic; the music acts as a form of unification. Wiesler rediscovers his humanity.
The film has been titled 'The Lives of Others' by its English-languages distributors, but 'Das Leben der Anderen' literally means 'The Lives of the Others'. This distinction is interesting because the film is concerned more with the clash of groups – i.e. ideologies – than intra-group conflicts. It focuses on the dualities created by imposed structures: informers versus those who refuse snitch; capitalism versus the DDR's flavour of socialism; duty to art versus the state; humanity versus inhumanity.
Martina Gedeck as the actress Christa-Maria Sieland and Sebastian Koch as Georg Dreyman.
The film is not without its difficulties. Wiesler's conversion is, frankly, unbelievable in the context of his life. Is this the first time he has heard a good piece of music? Why should the writer's performance push him to betray his state? How can Wiesler get away with nobbling an investigation when he works in organisation for which individuality is systematically subsumed in layers of checks, balances and betrayals?
Ulrich Tukur as Hauptmann Wiesler's boss, Oberstleutnant Anton Grubitz
But you can't go far wrong with a beautifully-shot character piece whose themes find reflection in many levels of story – the unification of opposites, the deliberations of betrayal and the betrayed. Plus, the director is an Oxford-educated aristrocrat called Count Florian Maria Georg Christian Henckel von Donnersmarck, which is entertaining in itself.

Concrete Repairs from Mudjacking Milwaukee Contractors
We have had Mudtech out on numerous occasions to repair sidewalks and our asphalt. As far as I know there is no other contractor that has the ability to service our needs to the same satisfaction as Mudtech.

Basement Waterproofing with Mudjacking in Burlington, WI
Your people did a great job and we are very pleased with the work. As both you and your foreman indicated, once the concrete patio was properly pitched away from the foundation, we are no longer getting water in the basement during heavy rains. Everyone in Mudtech's staff was courteous, respectful and professional, they worked quickly and took care as not to trash our lawn or landscaping bringing the equipment in as we feared might happen. Again, excellent work!
Before having you in to estimate, we went online and in the local Yellow Pages for mud-jacking resources. We chose your company first to estimate and ultimately went with you because I heard your ads on WISN talk radio.

Milwaukee Area Basement Waterproofing Review
I had a great experience with Mudtech. I got numerous proposals for waterproofing my basement and fixing my driveway and ultimately chose to go with Mudtech. Other companies gave me quotes for 3 times what I was quoted so I was reluctant at first but after talking with ***** I was assured other companies were just trying to take me to the cleaners and do unneeded additional work. Almost a year after the work was completed and the basement is dry as a bone and I love not having the bumps in my driveway to catch the snow blower on every 8 feet. One of the best contractor experiences I've ever had.

Wisconsin Mudjacking Team Wins Concrete Job and Exceeds Expectations
I think these guys are great! I had gotten estimates from 3 other companies, for the work I wanted done. The other companies just didn't seem to listen to what I wanted done. Tried to talk me into more work then I needed done. With MudTech I felt that they were really listening to me and to what I wanted done. Well I hired MudTech and am very pleased and satisfied with the work they did. I would refer them to anyone. I would call them again if I needed any work done. Thank-you MudTech!

Milwaukee Area Driveway Repair with Mudjacking
I was very impressed with the job Mudtech did for me. My driveway needed mudjacking in 2 different areas and my walk in front of the house had settled drastically. My walk was so bad that I was skeptical it could be brought back to normal without ripping it out and putting in new concrete. It was considered to be a massive job. Vince assured me that they could do it and that I would be amazed. Vince was correct! The walk was brought back to optimal grade and everything was stabilized. The driveway looks great as well. They also referred me to a great concrete contractor to help replace my front porch steps to match the new grade of the walk. Clint and his crew were very courteous, communicated with me along the way and cleaned up nicely at completion. I would recommend Mudtech for any concrete repair work needed.

Concrete Sidewalk Repair Milwaukee
MUDTeCH™ did a great job for me. I have a large driveway with an adjoining sidewalk and settling over the years (after a lesser skilled mud-jack fix) had created uneven sections and the transition from drive to walk was uneven too. Clint and his crew were very efficient and creative in their approach to restoring the drive. They actually tilted the section of sidewalk that transitioned to the drive on a diagonal axis. Additionally, they raised the sidewalk where it met our front stoop back to a standard step height. I have done business with a lot of contractors and MUDTeCH™ measures up. I recommend them without reservation.

Just a note to commend you and your crew for the excellent mud jacking work you did on my driveway and sidewalk. The work was done in a very professional and timely manner per the quote we received. The crew was friendly, helpful and paid attention to detail. If I had further work to be done, I would not hesitate for a minute in giving you a call.
Thanks and take care.

Handling the TOUGH Mudjacking, Concrete Repair and Asphalt Repair Calls! MUDTeCH™ - "We fix all the hard stuff!"
One Friday as we where finishing up a job in Oconomowoc Wisconsin, MUDTeCH™ received a call from a foreman who worked for KSW Construction.
He had a really big problem.
His company was hired to replace a bad section of concrete that just happened to be right in front of Macy's Department Store at 702 N. Midvale Blvd. in Madison, Wisconsin. KSW Construction arrived to that job early on Friday morning, and began prepping it for new concrete. After speaking with the foreman, MUDTeCH™ learned that they had cut the bad concrete, and removed it. But after the damaged sections where removed, they discovered a huge void underneath the good portions of the concrete. According to the foreman, there was no way they had time to submit another proposal for replacing far more concrete than expected. Macy's had a very tight deadline to keep their shoppers happy. KSW intended on pouring the new concrete on that following Tuesday.
MUDTeCH™ can't always get to jobs with such short notice, but we were able put in some extra effort, got the estimator out there on Saturday, and MUDTeCH™'s shiny lime green work truck arrived at about 7:45am on Monday to start working on this job.
There was a real rush to fill that giant hole. MUDTeCH™ could not believe the size of that void under the good slabs. MUDTeCH™'s workers had to put it in even higher gear than every other work day! We were pumping about 1 wheel barrow every 6 minutes into that black hole!
MUDTeCH™ started pumping at about 8:15am we worked harder, and harder, and even had to go get another load of sand. All together MUDTeCH™ spent about 9 hours working on this one job. MUDTeCH™ had to get the job done that day, and we did!
It was a great sight to finally see the special MUDTeCH™ mix coming out of the saw cut area of the slabs. After MUDTeCH™ was sure the problem was fixed, we began cleaning up, and of course all the people walking by asked us what MUDTeCH™ was fixing.
So can MUDTeCH™ handle big jobs? YES!
Can MUDTeCH™ work around your problems? YES!
In early July 2009, we received a call from a maintenance man working for a large office complex in the Madison area. MUDTeCH™ had already done various asphalt work at this same property, so he knew he could count on MUDTeCH™ to deliver an exceptional job on his concrete problem.
He said that at one of the entrances to the building, a concrete slab had settled. Due to the sinking of the slab, a large trip hazard was created. MUDTeCH™ took all the information, and passed it to our professional estimate team, who then went to the job location, to give a free estimate.
After the estimate was reviewed by the St. John Properties Management pros, they decided to use MUDTeCH™'s highly trained workers to raise the slab back to grade. After all, the slab was not chipped, cracked or damaged in any way. All it needed was a little more base injected underneath to bring it back to the proper level it used to be at.
MUDTeCH™'s lime green work truck arrived on location to complete the work about 8 days later. We parked the truck so as not to interfere with any regular business they had coming and going.
MUDTeCH™ workers know exactly what to do on every job, so they went to work right away. One worker began drilling, one started mixing MUDTeCH™'s hybrid grout mix, and a third worker started taking all the necessary tools off the truck.
All the office workers had to come to the window to see what we where doing. They commented about the lime green truck, with the flashing green lights. After 15 minutes everything was ready to start lifting concrete. We began at the far side, lifting carefully across the whole width, to avoid any cracking. After about 3 and a half full wheel barrows of mix was pumped beneath the slab, it was back to its original position.
The manager on duty that day was very happy, she said they had been tripping on that slab for the last 7 months, and they spent a small fortune on salt for the winter. But now that MUDTeCH™ increased the grade of that slab back to where it was supposed to be, the trip hazard was gone. After everything was cleaned up, we patched the holes, and lightly brushed them. Total time on that job was about 1 hour and 25 minutes. We put all our tools and equipment back onto the truck, and headed out to repair more concrete problems!

Police raid 33,000-plant marijuana plantation
A 44-year-old man from Rosmalen was arrested on Tuesday during a police raid on a massive marijuana plantation in Zaltbommel. The plantation consisted of 33,000 plants being grown in an office building located on Van Voordenpark.
The police discovered the plantation after receiving a tip from a passerby who found the property suspicious. The 44-year-old man was at the plantation when the police arrived and was arrested immediately. A 68 year old from Rotterdam was later arrested near the plantation.
The police are investigating how many harvests the plantation has had. The plants and equipment were destroyed.

World's largest children's chess tournament, The Delancey UK Schools' Chess Challenge attracts thousands of school children to take part and support continues to grow
Now in its 23rd year, 40,000 school children from across the UK are taking part in the Delancey UK Schools' Chess Challenge (UKSCC), following the modernisation of the competition and 6,000 new online entries!
The future is looking bright for this annual educational event after English International chess star and Director of UKSCC, Sarah Hegarty and her husband Alex Longson, launched an innovative online platform to host a new discussion forum where parents, coaches and children can ask questions, make comments, download free training materials to help children sharpen their skills and find out more information about the Challenge.
The Delancey UK Schools Chess Challenge is the World's largest junior chess competition and attracts over 40,000 children from 1,200 schools across the UK. The structure of the tournament encourages all children to take part in the educational game, from the most inexperienced players to the top masterminds.
With enhanced connectivity and the positive flood of new entries, the best young players across the UK currently battling it out in the 50 regional events from now until June where players will pit their wits against the best players in their region.
The Megafinals stage follows the Regional play-offs and will allow the top 6,000 school/club players to compete against leading players in their age bracket. These Megafinals are now kicking off around different parts of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and will be running until the end of June.
Traditionally in the past, the Megafinals stage has comprised of 42 separate events but due to the high demand from school children to take part in the Challenge, this year '8' have been added, bringing the number of Megafinal competitions up to a total of 50.
Of the 6,000 children now playing in the tournament, only a third will achieve success and will qualify for the 'Gigafinals', which features England's top junior players.
On 15th and 16th September the winners of the Gigafinal will compete at the climax of the challenge, the 'Terafinal'. These matches will be broadcast live across the world and the top player will win £2,500 and be crowned UK Chess Challenge champion.
Sarah Hegarty, director of the Delancey UK Schools Chess Challenge said:
"We are excited to announce the 23rd Delancey UK Schools' Chess Challenge is now underway at schools across the UK. Over 40,000 children are taking part this year but only the very best can progress to the finals. Chess is fantastic for children as it helps them develop a wide range of skills. We are once again very grateful for the generous support of Delancey without which this competition would not be possible."
Delancey's Founder and CEO, Jamie Ritblat commented:
"We are delighted to continue our headline sponsorship of the Delancey UK Schools Chess Challenge for another year. This is an invaluable competition which not only unites children from all across the UK, who share an interest in chess, but also provides an environment in which students are inspired to challenge themselves mentally. I wish all students competing in this year's competition the very best of luck!"

This map can also be played on-line (instead of downloading) by going to the following dedicated server (although for some reason it won't show up on the game servers): --> tf2.ponderful.com:27015 While I believe the map to be quite playable, there are certainly still going to be some bugs and a lot of work to be done to finish it up. As well, while most textures have been applied, I would not call it visually stunning as of yet. I'm more concerned about playability first, then I (or someone else interested) will focus on making it look good. Would really appreciate any feedback! Both positive and negative...

The answer, apparently, is in an intern's car, in an apartment parking lot.
That's where a data storage device of some sort was left earlier this month when some crook broke in and took it.
So said Gov. Ted Strickland and representatives from various state agencies during a press conference June 15 -- nearly a week after said incident occurred.
In response, the governor issued an executive order calling for stricter handling of agency data. The state also has launched a Web site and call centers and will offer theft protection services (at an estimated cost of $660,000) over the course of the next year to all affected employees.
On the plus side, Strickland said the data device was in a format that could not be easily accessed.
"We have no reason to believe that there has been a breach of security at this time," he said.
And he said there was little evidence that the device was targeted.
"We have no reason to believe that this was a theft that was specifically directed toward the security of this device," he said.
It's common for public agencies and private companies to regularly backup computer data, and it's standard practice to take copies of such data off site to ensure their availability in the event of a catastrophic event (say, a building fire).
It's difficult to fathom, however, how 338,634 electronic files stored in 24,333 folders in a data storage device could be entrusted to an intern -- and how that device could be left in a parked car during a weekend.
In hindsight, it also seems strange that the governor's office waited a full five days before informing employees about the theft.
Strickland and other agency officials said they needed time to assess the situation -- it took a couple of days to determine exactly what was on the data device.
"I don't want to alarm people unnecessarily," Strickland said, adding later, "The worst thing we could have done... is to give out information that we are not confident is accurate."
To his credit, Strickland issued executive orders discontinuing such handling of employees' personal information.
"All agency directors shall immediately review and begin updating existing information technology security policies and practices to make sure that the comply with the current statewide Office of Information Technology security policies," he wrote.
As for what's he doing to protect himself from identify theft:
"I am fairly confident that my information is on the tape, and I can tell you that I slept very well last night," he said, adding, "I am concerned, and I don't want to trivialize this or minimize this. But neither do I want state employees to be unduly alarmed.
"I think we're putting in place certain steps and doing as much as we can do to minimalize the risk and give assurance that if in fact their privacy was violated, we want to have in place protections for them. And that we've done, at no cost (to the individuals)."

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has been fined 160m Reals (US $100m) for its role in an infamous match fixing scandal. The scandal, first unearthed by Veja magazine, involved a gang called the Whistle Mafia that conspired with referees to fix 11 matches in 2005. Now a Sao Paolo court has ruled that CBF officials acted in bad faith by attempting to drag out the legal process while minimizing charges against and punishment of the accused. The timing of the fine is unfortunate, what with Brazil serving as host for the next FIFA World Cup, and CBF being a FIFA member. Regardless, CBF lawyers are dismissing the court ruling as banal, and the case itself as old news. Remember, folks… not for nothing is FIFA's logo a giant pair of balls.
Okay, how about a more recent FIFA scandal? Across the Atlantic, FIFA officials are being accused of failing to act despite warnings that something wasn't right with a pair of international friendlies that took place in Antalya, Turkey on Feb. 9. The matches, Bolivia v. Latvia and Estonia v. Bulgaria, featured seven goals, all penalties. One penalty was even ordered retaken after the player missed the net on his first attempt. Despite a seeming lack of interest in the stands (only a couple hundred fans turned out in a 7,500-seat stadium), a reported €5m was wagered on the outcome of the Estonian match alone. The Independent reports that one leading UK bookmaker took the game off the board pre-kickoff after suspicious betting patterns were observed coming from the Asian market.
The two matches were organized by a company in Thailand, Footy Sports International, despite its connection to a Singaporean national with links to a convicted match-fixer. Estonian football officials became even more concerned when they met their referees. The Footy Sports folks had claimed the refs were Bosnian, but the referees introduced themselves to the Estonians as Croatian. The Estonians contacted FIFA about their concerns, but were told to go ahead with the match as there was "no firm evidence" to justify canceling it.
FIFA is justifiably coming under fire for ignoring the Estonians' warnings, but what should be more alarming is the apparent lack of interest in vetting companies that are allowed to stage international matches under the FIFA banner. FIFA is now proposing that organizers give them two-months notice on just who will be refereeing international matches. It's too bad that online gambling will likely be painted as the culprit in this story, especially when FIFA's own commitment to integrity takes a back seat to its desire to generate revenues.

Designer Picks: Chic Summer Seating
Chair design is categorically one of the most challenging feats of engineering in interior design. In fact, there are dozens of competitions internationally that put designers to the test, sometimes encouraging them to use innovative materials and creative methods of structure. But even with all this out-of-the-box concepting, chair designs have remained relatively the same since the dawn of time.
In our new summer collection, we celebrate the history of chair design with styles and silhouettes that can be traced all the way back to Ancient Greece. Here, we're highlighting our designers' top picks for chic seating this season, but you can browse our entire selection here.
Neoclassical Iron Chair
This over-sized chair is inspired by thrones and seats used in early civilizations. It features a deep seat and lovely curves that make anyone sitting in it feel like a king or queen. We updated the look with a solid iron frame, neutral linen cushion, and two brilliant finish options: Deep black or shining brass.
Acrylic Klismos Chair
The original klismos chair was invented in Ancient Greece and it had three defining features: Four legs curved outwards, two parallel, curving rails for the back, and a narrow, horizontal, concave backrest. All of these curves were made to contour the human form as well as give the seat an elegant and shapely image. While it has four straight legs (for the contemporary home), the back of this seat fits the klismos description perfectly. Plus, this chair gets a whole new image in chic acrylic!
Acrylic Armchair
Acrylic is a relatively new material for furniture as it was only created in the 1930s, and its clear, modern style is generally associated with Hollywood Regency glamour. One of the earliest and most famous commissions of acrylic furniture was for entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein's New York City apartment, and it was quite ostentatious and ornate. Our armchair follows a more minimalist approach, designed to blend seamlessly with almost any style.
Abaca Dining Chair
Woven for both textiles and furniture, the abaca plant, commonly called "Manila hemp," is the image of breezy and tropical dining in our Abaca Dining Chair. Abaca plants are native to the Philippines and are mostly harvested for their strong, resilient fibers. Woven tightly over an iron frame, these chairs give a dining room an understated, natural, easy-going appeal.
Modern White Slipper Chair
Mid-century designs are recognizable by their sleek lines, simple curves, and contemporary profile. This Modern White Slipper Chair sports all the trademarks of mid-century modern decor with its uncomplicated profile and plush, yet understated, appeal. This chair features chic oak legs and handsome studded detailing on the back. No doubt about it—this seat will set a sophisticated scene in any space.
Modern Barrel-back Chair
Though relatively hard to trace, original designs for barrel-back chairs is thought to have been introduced in Europe in the 19th century. They rose to extreme popularity during the boom of mid-century design and became a favored seat for dining. The handcrafted Modern Barrel-Back Chair exemplifies this popular, mid-century style with its simple, yet sophisticated, profile and sleek wooden body.

It will be a Cherry kind of week here on my blog. I haven't really taken the time to feature the new products in the summer idea book so now is the time!
The My Creations Recipe/Photo Box (z1322) in made of sturdy, stampable chipboard. It fits 4x6 recipe cards, photos and index cards. The new Originals Sugar & Spice recipe card kit (x8625) was made to fit this box too!
For my box, I used CTMH Bonding Memories Glue (1512) to adhere Cherry-O Level II paper packet (x 7123B). I stamped the stitched borders of the paper with the stamp set "Togetherness" (D1402), used Clear Buttons (z1155) adhered to B&T with the glue, and Chocolate Waxy Flax (z1088). The recipe card kit is shown inside. The word "recipe" was created by sponging the "Irresistibles Lots of Dots" letters (z1261) with Chocolate ink. The project took a very short time and I am looking forward to filling it with recipes and taking it to our cabin.
I am working on another box that will have my photos "to be scrapbooked" in it. This will be an easy way to sort and prep photos so they are easily accessible on my desk when I have time to scrapbook. Other ideas for this box? What about a box of treasures for a child? What about a cleaning card box? Check this idea out here.
Watch for a workshop to create your own box coming up in June.

It was an interesting school year at Red Bluff High, to say the least. In an effort to clarify some misperceptions, I am writing this letter.
First, from a school perspective, we had a great year in spite of some incredible obstacles. As this paper has mentioned many times, one of our students was murdered back in February. That incident, and the rumors that circulated our community afterward, shook our school to its core. Yet, due to the unbelievable resolve of our students and staff, we got through that shocking event, and many of us believe we have arrived at a better place.
Unlike what some believe, the murder did not take place on or near our campus or during any school event, and the accused was never a Red Bluff High student. Nevertheless, the event tremendously impacted our campus. After moving through the grieving process, we all chose to use the unfortunate incident as a catalyst for improving student to student relations. In fact, we feel we made tremendous progress in that area in the last few months of the school year. Our campus remains a great place for young folks. I encourage any community member to visit us in the fall while school is in session to see for him or her self.
On a personal note, based on the comments many in the community have made to my wife and me, the addition of my namesake's (the "other" Pat Gleason) weekly column in this paper has created some confusion. Although Pat and I are friends and longtime professional peers at Red Bluff High, his opinions expressed in this paper and my opinions don't always match up. For example, I'm all for Civil War reenactments in the park even if things get a little loud at times (he isn't), I'm good friends with Dennis Poulton but would never write a nice column about him mostly because our mutual friends would never let me hear the end of it (Pat did), and I pretty much hate the Dodgers (Pat's a diehard fan).
For better or worse, there are two Pat Gleasons in the community. One, the columnist, RBHS teacher, and southern California transplant, appears every other week in the Daily News. The other, the RBHS principal and native to Red Bluff (me), tries to avoid appearing in the Daily News, believing instead that it is best to stay out of the headlines in most situations.
Thanks for allowing me to clear up some confusion, but more than anything, thanks to all of you for supporting Red Bluff High School. Those of us at Red Bluff High know how fortunate we are to work in a community that is so supportive of its high school.
Patrick Gleason, principal, Red Bluff High (via email)

Wembley Rock Assembly 2017
After a successful musical year twenty two music students were selected to attend the Wembley Rock Assembly. The event was organised by The Transformation Trust which is an education charity dedicated to opening the doors of opportunity to young people across the country, encouraging them to 'Think Big'. The day started with an inspirational careers and university fair. Pupils enjoyed the opportunity to converse with ambassadors from Barclays, Siemans, Co-op and Anglia Ruskin University. The Futures Fair was followed by a rock and pop concert in Wembley Arena where acts such as Sarah Close, Gavin James and The Vamps performed a variety of their hit songs. The students behaved impeccably and organisers said they should be commended for their manners

The term "Legend" seems to be attached to just about anyone and everyone these days. However, when it comes to Brian May, it doesn't seem to do the rock supremo justice. As one quarter of – arguably – one of the most influential bands ever, Queen, May's articulate and inspiring guitar playing has been heard across the globe for several decades. From early rock anthems such as "Brighton Rock" and "Stone Cold Crazy" to later hits like "Too Much Love Will Kill You", May's signature tone has evolved in line with his ambitious playing style.
Even in the early days he exhibited tonal craftsmanship of the highest order on songs like the delightfully flamboyant "Bohemian Rhapsody", whose film of the same name is introducing Queen's music and May's sound to a new generation of appreciative fans. Let us guide you through how to achieve that Brian May guitar tone.
Influences: where it all began
Though Brain May has influenced countless guitarists over the years, he himself was fascinated by players such as Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher and Hank Marvin – not too shabby a list! From the clean single-note instrumentals of early rock 'n' roll records to the blistering technique of later rock demigods, May soaked up a vast amount of knowledge, logged countless hours of practise, and experimented feverishly with gear to hone his sound.
Admittedly, May utilises a raft of custom-built gear in his rig, but we're going to touch upon more affordable options that will hopefully get you closer to achieving the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer's tone.
Versatile guitar switching
As a youngster May couldn't afford the coveted Stratocaster that he wanted, so he and his Dad built his very own custom guitar over a two-year period. The result was the "Red Special", a guitar that is arguably as recognisable as its owner. For those who want to recreate the Queen hero's tone fastidiously, then the Red Special is the only way forward.
Thankfully, there's a plethora of options to choose from nowadays to suit everyone's budget. The core characteristics are simple when it comes to the guitar for the job: sharpened single-coil output, the ability to home in on a mid to treble-oriented output, a versatile pickup switching system, lightning fast playing feel, and ready access to each and every fret. Fitting the bill on all counts is the affordable Squier Bullet Stratocaster. Built to the high standards that we've come to expect from the Squier Bullet series, this Strat is perfect for tearing through licks and riffs with. Not only that, but the 5-way pickup selector switch enables you to sail closer to the emphasized mid/treble character of May's tone. If you fancy pushing the boat out, then check out the many other Strats that we have to offer.
All about the AC
Alongside his guitar, a constant throughout May's career has been his preference for Vox AC amplifiers. The smooth sound of the British tube-driven AC has been the backbone of every anthemic track. From sparkling cleans to searing hot lead tones, there isn't anything that the AC15C1 can't turn its hand to. However, when it comes to getting an extra kick for his wailing lead work, we've turned to a little dynamo in that department.
Hot treble booster
As noted above, Rory Gallagher was an influence on May and none more so than in how he achieved the hot lead tone he desired from his amp. When pushing the AC30 into overdrive, May found it to be muddier than he would have preferred. However, after seeing Gallagher using a treble booster to emphasize the high-end, he knew what to do. To achieve the same result, we'd like to introduce the awesome Electro Harmonix Screaming Bird, a defiant little analogue treble booster that injects a whopping 20dB of high frequency gain into any amp. The rugged die-cast aluminium chassis makes it perfect for both stage and studio use, so you can take it anywhere that the music takes you.
That being said, a classic overdrive pedal such as the BOSS SD-1 or Ibanez Tube Screamer can do the job. Remember to be subtle with the gain or drive knobs, focus the tone knob on the treble settings and adjust your guitar volume pot to suit. The key here is to deftly balance your guitar's output and the pedal effect level to enhance out the dynamics of your playing and reduce the low-end influence on guitar amp drive.
Tonal subtleties
To get that sweet chorus chime that peppers both May's rhythm chops and sultry solos, we've turned to the BOSS CE-5 Chorus Ensemble. With a plethora of controls that allow you to shape and tailor your chorus setting, there's even a stereo output option for those who want to go the whole hog and incorporate a stereo amplifier setup. As with the treble booster, less is more and the effect is limited to use its subtlest form. To create the multi-layered tonal textures that we've all come to know and love from Brian May, the BOSS DD-7 enables everything from subtle slapback to protracted repeats.
If you're an absolute purist then you'll swear by using an old English sixpence coin as a pick, but we'll forgive you if you'd prefer one from our selection – you might not tear through quite as many strings that way. Speaking of guitar strings, you can't go wrong with a decent set of wound string, again we'll let you opt for the gauge (player's preference of course).
There you have it. As elaborate as the Queen guitarist's live setup is, you can effectively recreate some of your favourite tracks with the gear outlined above. Sure, you could incorporate complex switching systems, multiple amps, vintage gear, the signature guitar and all that jazz. But this article is all about dipping your tones into the world of tonal exploration. Brian May didn't shirk his duties when it came to his studies – he's an astrophysicist after all. You don't have to shell out thousands to sound like him, but we highly recommend that you put the hours of practise in if you want the Brian May guitar tone.
Here's Tom to show us how it's done
Hopefully, we've given you some inspiration with regard to getting started or adding to your pedalboard/live rig. For even more ideas check out the Guitar Effects section on the Dawsons Website.

In this work, Sn1−xFexO2 (x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08) nanoparticles have been synthesized using ball-milling method. The average diameter of the nanoparticles decreases from 487 to 216 nm by adding Fe2O3 to the tin dioxide. The X-ray diffraction analyses confirms formation of tetragonal structure which is typical feature of SnO2 compounds. Theoretical density was found to be larger than the corresponding physical one due to the porosity of the materials. The electrical resistivity versus temperature measurements confirm that the undoped and Fe doped SnO2 nanoparticles are characterized with semiconducting behavior over the whole measurement range of temperature 300–473 K. The magnetic measurements confirm transformation from diamagnetic to ferromagnetic characteristics as Fe doping level reaches x = 0.06.
