Wild Orange and Hickory Loop Trail is a 2.8 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Sebring, Florida that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from September until May. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

One of Floridas oldest parks, opening to the public in 1931, this park was established when local citizens came together to promote the hammock as a candidate for national park status. During the Great Depression, just prior to World War II, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) developed additional park facilities and the beginnings of a botanical garden. Many visitors enjoy bicycling the scenic 3-mile loop drive or hiking along the parks nine trails. An elevated boardwalk traverses an old-growth cypress swamp. Picnicking is another popular activity as are ranger-guided tours of the park. Highlands Hammock offers a full-facility campground, as well as a youth/group tent campground. A recreation hall is available for rental, as are several picnic pavilions. A museum showcasing the history of the CCC is open 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Located on County Road 634, four miles west of Sebring.
A beautiful trail with lots of birds and other wildlife sightings. Views include ancient cypress and towering old citrus trees. Just one of several incredible trails within the Highlands Hammock State Park.
Great easy walk, great vegetation-including palms, pines, orange trees (with oranges), no Alligator(s)-did spot an Armadillo burrowing in the soft soil near the roadway entrance!
Peaceful ride, lots of cool wildlife to see. They have bike rentals there at a very reasonable price if you want to ride. Very nice staff
Decent trails. Trail "lengths" in minutes is a bit overrated.. Was done with most in just slightly over half the time it allotted per trail. Bugs were terrible.
Great trails for hiking and great primitive camping!
Great trails, all well maintained. Did all of the loop trails with ease. Camped in the primitive camping area and hiked starting from our site out to the bike path and made a full loop back to the camp site.
Highlands Hammock has lots of very flat, easy trails. Some are long and some are shirt. It's a great place to hike!
Did all 5 short loop trails. All were well-kept and we saw otter, alligators and woodpeckers.
Very nice for a Florida trail. Fun walk ways and plenty of alligator sightings! We saw a mama sunbathing with three or four babies on her.
Very nice place. Deer flies can get bad at times on the trails.
Just beautiful!!!! Camped there for 7 days. Lots of diff Eco systems. Tons of wildlife
A beautiful place to see. Lots of trees and wildlife.

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. – Hurricane Sandy beat up Chappaqua last week and left thousands without power, but resident Lori Morton knows the damage was minimal compared to her hometown in New Jersey.
Morton grew more than 100 miles from Chappaqua in Lacey Township. While her parents, brother, aunt, uncle and other relatives escaped relatively-damage free, many of its residents weren't as lucky.
"There are a lot of small homes that are in low lying areas throughout Ocean County. Some of them almost right at sea level," Morton said. "There's just hundreds and hundreds of homes that are full of water. A number of them are torn apart. It's just – I still haven't wrapped my head around it, honestly."
Morton, a mom of a kindergarten student, said she began asking for donations from fellow Chappaqua parents on Friday.
"By Saturday afternoon our entire front yard was covered in donations," she said.
Community members responded to Morton's request and donated clothes, gloves, cleaning supplies, food, diapers and more. Morton said she tightly packed her truck and delivered the donations to a center in Lacey over the weekend.
Despite the gas shortage, Morton plans on returning to her hometown this Friday with even more donations from Chappaqua residents.
Aurora owner Dawn Greenberg will help with the fundraising process by offering store credit to any customer donating any sort of gift card. If, for example, residents donate a $10 Kohl's gift card, they receive $10 of store credit. The limit is $25 and the deal will run only on Monday on Tuesday.

From Fremont, California, USA:
I am a 46 year old overweight female (236 pounds) who had fasting blood sugars of 138-146 mg/dl [7.7-8.1 mmol/L] and oral glucose tolerance test values of 198 mg/dl [11 mmol/L] at two hours and 88 mg/dl [4.9 mmol/L] at three hours. My doctor said that I have fatty liver because of being overweight and sedentary (both true) and that I am insulin resistant so he put me on Glucophage [metformin] twice a day a month ago. Since then, my blood sugar is usually between 110-120 mg/dl [6.1-6.7 mmol/L] in the morning and at bedtime, I am eating healthier, I am exercising three to four times a week, and I have lost 10 pounds.
I saw my doctor who was very pleased when he saw my blood glucose diary and said I could probably get off the Glucophage when I lose another 30 pounds. However, I really get hungry, usually an hour or two after eating. I am eating healthy food and snacks, but being so hungry is really annoying. Before the diagnosis, I was hungry all the time also, so I had an idea that something was going on. Is that normal for people who have their blood sugar levels under control to still be hungry all the time?
The blood sugars you stated are consistent with diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association Classification and Diagnosis of Diabetes guidelines.
It is great that you are changing your diet and lifestyle to improve your health. When individuals have elevated blood sugars, sometimes they are more hungry. However, I expect you have really cut down on your calories. Keep up the good work.
[Editor's comment: It sounds like you need some help in preventing your hunger. You should request a referral to a dietitian who can help you develop an individualized meal plan that will satisfy your hunger yet allow you to continue losing weight. SS]

Bishops Tawton is a small Devon village two miles from the busy market town of Barnstaple. We are a small school set in the middle of the village with views across the river valley. The original building dates back to 1860. Our grounds are extensive and include a large playing field, nature area, forest school and orchard.We are part of a friendly community and our school aspires to a tradition of excellence.
Our school is rated in the top 2% of all schools in the school league tables for progress and our pupil's attainment is consistently well above national average by the time they leave. See letter below from The Minister of State for School Standards.
Although our data is very impressive there is a lot more to school life than this. Our children are proud of their school and of their achievements. They take pride in helping each other and have the benefit of building friendships across all age groups. The children consistently demonstrate exceptional behaviour when taking part in the many activities and sporting events that they access, their sportsmanship is second to none!
The school runs a small and friendly pre-school that is situated a short distance away. Our transition process is extensive; we succeed in making the journey to 'big school' as smooth and exciting as possible for both children and parents!
We teach a thematic curriculum that is practical and rich; it is underpinned with the development skills in literacy, numeracy and ICT. We encourage outdoor learning, visits and visitors and hands on experience as much as possible. Many of our themes are whole school and result in an exciting shared outcome.
There is an active school council who are involved in activities and experiences that they wish to develop. The school council are proud to have been able to support many charities including enabling a child in Uganda to attend school for the past 8 years.

Valid Criticism or Projection? - Beliefnet
Almost: Life, consciousness and intelligence are well explained properties resulting from ordinary reactions of organic chemistry. Under suitable conditions of, in the case of the third rock from the sun, water, land and an energy source which may have been geothermal or solar organic chemicals get concentrated and react. Once sufficient quantities of adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil get concentrated in a local area they begin to form long chains of pairs of bases. Like any chemical process some are more stable than others and the more stable forms predominate by using up material from the less stable forms. We can only guess at what some of the stable forms looked like but eventually a chain we now identify as DNA became dominant because not only was it extremely stable but it could replicate itself, and use a similar chain we now identify as RNA to help it manage its environment. From that point it is only a matter of time, lots of it, for consciousness and intelligence to be manifested as we see in several land and marine animals.

Microsoft Office 365 optionally includes the right to install Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus, a full-featured version of Microsoft Office, on up to five devices per user. This version has several modifications suited to an online service offering, for example, licensing and activation occur automatically over the Internet. In addition, Microsoft has designed Office 365 ProPlus with Click-to-Run installation technology. Click-to-Run streams the setup so you can start using Office before installation is finished and you can install this version of Office side-by-side with previous versions
Installing Office 365 ProPlus from the online Office 365 Portal is very convenient, but as with all cloud services, there are trade-offs. When you install Office from the Internet there may be latency or bandwidth concerns. In addition, in-house ITcannot customize or control Office 365 ProPlus installations from the Office 365 portal.
To avoid overconsumption of Internet bandwidth and allow control over deployments, Microsoft recommends that you install Office 365 ProPlus from a local share. Over 1 GB of information traverses the network for each installation, which can strain WAN connections between branch offices and corporate data centers.
This performance brief shows how WAN optimization technology provided by Riverbed® Steelhead® appliances significantly reduces and potentially eliminates bandwidth concerns when installing Office 365 ProPlus over a WAN.

Spirit Bear Quest, Klemtu Search for the Elusive Kermode Bear in Northern BC
3 nights
This holiday offers a great chance to see and learn about Spirit (Kermode) bears; actually a black bear with a recessive gene and only found in a small area of the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia.
It must be emphasised that you are not guaranteed to see a Spirit bear; Kermode bears are rare, just 10% of black bears are born white. However, Klemtu is one of your best chances.
Even if you don't see a Spirit bear you almost certainly will see grizzly or black bears. Part of the wonder of this holiday is walking through the forest and sitting quietly on the river bank waiting for the bears to come and then watch them catch the returning salmon from an astonishingly short distance: an awe-inspriring and wonderful experience. You will also discover the local First Nations culture, see the ancient and modern cultural sites, as well as watch marine wildlife, wolves, bald eagles and other birds.
Ask us about the package options.

The holiday
This holiday is available for 3, 4, 5, or 6-night packages. However, if viewing the elusive Spirit Bear is your priority, it is strongly suggested to consider a minimum 5 day/4 night package or longer and to consider coming in August, September or October. (see below).
2017: Low Season: June 1 – July 31, Shoulder Season: August 1 – August 28, High Season: August 29 – October 10. Tour start dates on any day from June 1. Last tour start dates of the year vary depending on package length; last guests will all depart the lodge on October 10th.
June is Spring in the Great Bear Rainforest when the sedge grass, the main early season protein food source for the Grizzly Bears, is most abundant. The combination of the deep green sedge grass and wildflowers is also great for keen photographers. There is a also a good chance of seeing Grizzly mums with cubs in tow or sub-adults who will often seek out the outer fringes of the big coastal estuaries to feed on the grass un-disturbed by the larger males who may still be working their way down from the upper alpine meadows. Humpbacks are also a relatively common sight as they forage the shore for krill, herring and mackerel.
July is very similar to June and is also the month with typically the best weather; the warmest days and the most sunshine. The grizzlies will be moving between the estuaries for sedge and the forest for berries. Later in in the month is the beginning of the salmon spawning season in the outer coastal rivers where black bears will begin to to be seen in greater numbers.
August is when the bears start to know that it is the beginning of the great salmon feast. Salmon begin to school in greater numbers at the entrances to the rivers and the bears then begin to congregate near the river mouth of many systems. By mid to late August, the spawning has begun in the inner coastal rivers. Also, although Spirit Bears can be seen anytime after they emerge from their dens in early Spring, the first good sightings are typically in August.
By September, the salmon spawn is well underway and grizzly bears, black bears and Spirit Bears will all be vying for the best fishing opportunities. The bear numbers begin to spike upwards at this time as they are feeding almost continuously.
October often sees another spike in bear numbers as the spawned-out salmon are being pushed back down to the river mouth, making the fishing easier. Bears are keen to fatten themselves up before winter so activity can be busy and exciting. While bear viewing can be excellent in October, this month also often brings with it the start of the seasonal rains that gives the Great Bear Rainforest part of its well-earned name.

The Danish Energy Agency has co-operated with Mexico in implementing its climate and energy policies since July 2014. Mexican and Danish ministries and institutions are co-operating closely to support Mexico's transition to a low-carbon economy.
The Danish Energy Agency helps by sharing Danish experiences on energy system analysis and policy development, for example how to integrate wind power and biomass into the energy portfolio, how to increase energy efficiency in buildings and industry, and how to mitigate climate change. The efforts support Mexico in reaching its ambitious climate and energy goals as set out in Mexico's Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Climate Agreement and in the Energy Transition Law. According to these goals, Mexico will reduce its GHG emissions by 22% unconditionally and up to 36% on conditions of eg. international support by 2030 compared to Business as Usual.
Emissions shall peak in 2026 and in 2024 35% of Mexico's electricity production will be generated from clean energy. The programme concludes in June 2017 and has been part of the Danish 2013 Climate Envelope's global framework.

UPDATE: The update is also available for the Samsung Galaxy S4 4G LTE (GT-i9505) version.
The Galaxy S4 is more than 2 years old but Samsung is still pushing the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop update onto the old flagship. In Malaysia, users using the 3G version (GT-i9500) can start downloading the software update which is about 1.1GB in size. This carries the Android version number 5.0.1.
It is advisable to update your device via WiFi and to perform a backup of your files before proceeding with the update. If you haven't received any notifications yet, you can check under Settings > More (Tab) > About Device > Software Update. With the new Android version, you'll get an updated flat Material Design interface and a slight improvement of performance as it runs on ART (Android Run Time) instead of Dalvik.
After showing the Galaxy Note 3 with Lollipop, the folks at Sammobile is giving another preview of an updated Android 5.0 Lollipop build for the Galaxy S4. The UI is similar with the Galaxy S5 version which we saw earlier.
With the latest build, we get to see the revised settings and the native camera app is reported to be more responsive than before. The Galaxy S4 shown is the Non-4G model (GT-i9500) that runs on Exynos. Check out the hands-on video including the first preview after the break.
The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 is now available in Malaysia. It brings the latest Android enhancements with refreshed interface and stability fixes as well.
Weighing about 370MB in file size, we recommend that you perform a full back up and to download using a fixed WiFi connection. If you haven't received any notifications on your Galaxy S4, you can update manually through Settings > More > About Device > Software update.
If you're facing some issues after the update, we would recommend a clean factory reset. Feel free to share your feedback on the KitKat update after the break.
Samsung has started rolling its Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to Galaxy S4 non-LTE units which carries the model number (GT-I9500). If you're using the 4G LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505), you might need to wait a little longer. The new update brings the latest KitKat goodies including UI changes as well as improvements on their native apps. A camera shortcut has been added on the lockscreen and the keyboard for landscape mode is reported to have been improved for faster typing.
At the moment the KitKat update is rolling out in phases with Russian and Indian units reported to have received it already. It shouldn't take too long before it reaches our official Malaysian units. The update would be pushed directly to the phone Over the Air (OTA) or it can be downloaded manually using Samsung Kies 3 through your computer. Like the recent Galaxy Note 3 KitKat update, we recommend doing a full backup and perform a full factory reset if your phone is giving you problems after the update.
The Galaxy S4 LTE version is now offered on Celcom's network from as low as RM1,888 with its usual Celcom First Postpaid plans with bundled bolt-on data plans. To recap, the Galaxy S4 LTE model which is priced at RM2,499 outright offers more space at 32GB and it runs on a more power efficient Qualcomm 1.9GHz Quad-Core processor. The rest of the specs include a Full HD 5.0″ display, 13MP Camera, 2GB of RAM, Infrared port and comes with a 2,600mAh battery.
Below is the bundled pricing on Celcom:
Celcom First Prime + 1GB/3GB Data (12 months) – RM2,188
Celcom First Prime + 1GB/3GB Data (18 months) – RM2,088
Celcom First Premier + 1GB/3GB Data (12 months) – RM2,088
Celcom First Premier + 1GB/3GB Data (18 months) – RM2,038
Celcom First Premier + 1GB/3GB Data (12 months) – RM1,988
Celcom First Premier + 1GB/3GB Data (18 months) – RM1,888
As usual, there's an upfront payment required during sign up which ranges between RM250-RM450 depending on plan. The upfront payment will be rebated back to your bill on the 1st month on wards which will be used to knock off any usage until it is fully utilised.
For more info, head over to Celcom's Galaxy S4 LTE page.
If you're looking for something different at the similar price tag (RM1,888), you could take a look at the LG Optimus G Pro which offers a 5.5″ Full HD display, 4G LTE connectivity and a large 3,140mAh battery.

If you don't want to be tied with long contracts and paying ridiculous upfront payments, DiGi has an affordable Zero Contract option for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One.
The Galaxy S4 can be yours for only RM1,773 while the HTC One at RM1,843 on DG Smart Plan 58 with Zero Contract option. In case you are wondering, the Galaxy S4 being offered is the GT-i9500 Non-LTE version which runs on Exynos Octa-Core processor.
The device price that's being quoted here comes with some strings attached. During sign up, you would need to pay 2 months subscription upfront of RM116 plus additional 1 month as advance subscription. This means you'll need to fork out RM1,947 for the Galaxy S4 or RM2,017 for the HTC One during sign up. After that, your first 3 months subscription is basically being paid for provided you don't exceed the Smart Plan 58's bundled 200 SMS and 200 minutes of calls within DiGi network. Also bundled with the plan is 2GB of internet usage which is split 1GB for Facebook/Twitter/WhatsApp and another 1GB for everything else.
If you decide not to stay with them for long, there's no termination fee but you'll lose out on the 2 months extra subscription which is rebated back to your account. Overall this seems to be a 3 months contract price but with an option to terminate without penalty. Nevertheless, it is still a good option if you do plan to use DiGi without being tied to a contract.
For more information, head over to DiGi's Galaxy S4 and HTC One Page.
The barely 2 months old Samsung Galaxy S4 non-LTE version (9500) has gotten a massive price cut of RM349. Launched at RM2,199 with 16GB storage, the Samsung flagship device is now priced as low as RM1,850 outright for official Samsung Malaysia units. The 5.5″ Galaxy Note II is even affordable now at only RM1,680, making it quite an attractive buy.
Retailer IMCC has released its current Samsung Galaxy pricing as follows:
Samsung Galaxy S4 – RM1,850 (Previously RM2,199)
Samsung Galaxy Note II – RM1,680 (Previously RM1,999)
Samsung Galaxy S III – RM1,380 (Previously RM1,699)
Samsung Galaxy Grand – RM1,040 (Previously RM1,299)
For a flagship device to drop this much in such a little time is rather shocking. Another retailer IPMart has also dropped its Galaxy S4 pricing as well to as low as RM1,869.
In the mean time the recently rolled out Galaxy S4 4G LTE version (9505) with 32GB of storage is seen to be slashed as well to RM2,299 from its initial RM2,499 pricing. Thanks @abdulmj for the heads up.
Could this be an indication that more Galaxy models are coming to Malaysia? We won't be surprise considering the Galaxy Mega, Galaxy S4 Active and Galaxy S4 Zoom are expected to make a local debut soon. Perhaps the rugged Galaxy S4 Active would be priced between the S4 non-LTE and 4G LTE version. With a water resistant credentials and LTE support, that might just demand a slight premium over the standard non-LTE S4.
For those waiting for the Galaxy S4 and without the need of LTE, the RM349 savings definitely certainly worth the wait.

Samsung has released an official video to prove that its plastic-build Galaxy S4 is tough enough to withstand day to day mishaps and abuses. Apart from the usual drop test, the Galaxy S4 is subjected to some extreme situations including continuous tumble, screen impact test, water drop tests and even subjecting it to high temperature and humidity.
Obviously these tests are beyond what the Galaxy S4 is capable of and the video constantly reminds you not to try this at home. Impressive nonetheless but we would rather go for the Galaxy S4 active for its more durable look and feel.
Watch the video after the break.
The LTE version of the Galaxy S4 (i9505) is now available from Maxis for as low as RM1,399 with contract or, for a limited time, for RM999 for Maxis One Club members (RRP RM2,499). Aside from a more battery efficient 1.9Ghz quad-core processor, the LTE Galaxy S4 is virtually identical to the non-LTE version in terms of looks and, arguably, in performance as well.
But where the octa-core, non-LTE S4 is a battery muncher, the LTE S4 offers a significant improvement in battery performance over the non-LTE version though we're not sure if the RM300 premium is worth it considering LTE coverage in Malaysia is sporadic at best right now. So if you're staying in outside of market centres like Klang Valley, Penang or JB, you won't be able to benefit much from the speed offered by LTE.
Or you can just opt for our current favourite, the HTC One offering great build quality, awesome sound from the dual front speakers, a display that's better than the one on the S4 and a fuss-free interface that's free from gimmicky bloatware. And, at RM2,299 for the 32GB version, the HTC One is RM200 cheaper than the 32GB LTE Galaxy S4.
In any case, the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE joins Apple's iPhone 5, iPad mini and iPad 4; Blackberry Q10, HTC One, Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC One XL on the list of LTE devices currently available from Maxis.
Maxis' position as the country's leading 4G LTE operator is further strengthened with a claimed LTE subscriber base of over 130,000 customers since the service was available on January 1 this year. In addition, Maxis say that it has doubled its 4G LTE coverage in the Klang Valley to include areas such as Bukit Damansara, Kepong, Sungai Besi, Sentul and Subang Jaya, as well as expanded LTE to Penang and Johor Bahru in addition to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.

When it comes to comparison, it is common to compare device from the same category. Interestingly Microsoft has released a video that compares the Galaxy S4 versus a lower end Nokia Lumia 521. Instead of battling out of specs and features, the host in the video talks about how much you can get with the price difference between the 2 devices.
In the video, the Galaxy S4 is said to be priced at US$750 while the Lumia 521 is only US$150. Then it went on to see what else you can buy with the US$600 saved which includes a brand new ASUS Laptop, headphones and music subscription service.
Comparing a high end vs a entry level device is already ridiculous and the host even admitted that he is using a high end Lumia 920 as his daily phone. Whatever Microsoft wants to achieve, it is certainly not an apple to apple comparison and it's just as silly as bragging how many Perodua Vivas you can buy for the price of a Ferrari.

WhatLauraWore: Last Days of Summer
As soon as New York Fashion week comes around, I slowly start to realise that the last days of summer are upon us and pretty soon I'm going to be donning lots of layering pieces and digging out my UGG boots. Fear not though as I still have a few summer outfit posts left to spoil you with before the winter truly sets in.
Today I'm wearing a beach dress from Bonmarche. This is an affordable, quick and easy cover up that you can just throw on when you're on your way to the beach. Whilst not being the most aesthetically pleasing item on my figure, it is so comfortable and I absolutely love the colour- Cadbury's purple is just amazing.
Purple beach dress from Bonmarche
Straw bag from New Look
White flower sandals from Primark
Ray Ban 3025 Aviators (review here) from the Sunglasses Shop
Beach outfit aside though, I am actually really looking forward to the autumn this year. Mr WLL and I will be having a pre wedding photoshoot and there are so many great product launches coming up that I can't wait to share with you. I'm consciously looking online for some cold weather appropriate pieces to wear this year and I really want to focus on cementing my winter style. For the day time I'm most looking forward to heart detail peg legs from ASOS, skater skirts with leggings and knitwear and for the evening I'm going to be rocking my signature short dresses but in jewelled shades with platform wedges from New Look to steady myself on the frosty ground. I have a feeling that the fashion this year is going to be second to none!
What autumn winter fashions are you looking forward to wearing?

I'm really excited for darker colors: navy blue, forest green, and eggplant purple. I'm on a serious budget this fall, so I don't think I'll be buying many new things, but I am going to try to stretch what I do have by combining different pieces I wouldn't otherwise put together. I have two sweater dresses that I didn't get to wear much last fall or winter, so I'm excited to pull those out of storage. I look forward to seeing what fall looks you model for us!ReplyDelete
That dress is lovely! And your hair looks brilliant as well (*^^*)♪ReplyDelete

For the chicken: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and heat until shimmering. Cook chicken skin side down until golden and crispy, about 8 minutes. Turn chicken and brown for another 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Pour off 1 tablespoon of the pan drippings and reserve; leave just enough oil in the skillet to evenly cover the bottom, discard the rest.
Add the fennel, onions, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook until the vegetables just begin to wilt, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and olives. Arrange the chicken, skin side up, on top of the vegetable mixture and bake, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
While the chicken bakes, make the couscous: Rinse the couscous in a fine mesh sieve under cold water until the water runs clear. Put couscous into a medium bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan add the chicken broth, reserved drippings, the 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, cayenne, and black pepper and bring to a boil. Add the broth to the couscous and cover with plastic wrap and set aside until the liquid has been absorbed and the couscous is plump, about 5 minutes.
Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium-high heat, tossing in the pan until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the orange zest, fennel fronds and parsley.
When ready to serve, fold the parsley mixture into the couscous and fluff with a fork. Mound the couscous on a warm serving platter and arrange the chicken around the couscous. Stir 2 to 3 tablespoons water or broth into the fennel mixture so they look glazed. Adjust seasoning and spoon fennel over the couscous and chicken; scatter the toasted pine nuts on top.

Jackson, Tax Court Memo. 2014-160
The taxpayer was an insurance agent who specialized in selling insurance policies specific to recreational vehicles (RVs). To gain access to RV owners, the taxpayer was a member of several RV clubs. The clubs held RV rallies which were primarily social events. Only RV owners could attend these rallies. Ownership was also required by certain RV parks, which often prohibited RV's older than a certain age.
The taxpayer gathered sales leads at every rally. He attached to his RV advertisement promoting his insurance business. He invited potential customers to come to his RV and discuss the prospective client's insurance needs. It would often take months, if not years, for a relationship with a potential customer to develop into an actual sale.
The court stated there was no question the taxpayer used his RV for some personal purposes. The taxpayer claimed, however, that he was entitled to deductions related to the business use of his RV.
The court acknowledged that the taxpayer actively sold insurance polocies during his time at the rallies, and that business activities conducted in using his RV generated a significant amount of revenue. After reviewing the evidence in the record and considering the taxpayer's testimony, the court concluded that the taxpayer spent two-thirds of his time during these rallies on business and one-third of his time for personal pleasure. Thus, the primary use of the RV was for business, not pleasure. However, none of the deductions for the business use was allowed because of IRC section 280A.
The Tax Court has previously ruled that an RV qualifies as a dwelling unit for purposes of the office-in-home rules under IRC section 280A. Under the general rule, any personal use, including watching TV in the RV, makes the entire day a personal day. IRC section 280A(c) has an exception to this general rule which allows a taxpayer to allocate costs to business use if a portion of the dwelling unit is "exclusively used" on a regular basis "as a place of business which is used by patients, clients, or customers in meeting or dealing with the taxpayer in the normal course of his trade or business." The court said exclusivity is the key to this case. The taxpayer did not use any portion of his RV exclusively for business. Therefore, no deduction for the expenses allocated to the business use is allowed.

The business community should be pleased with the agreement signed last week between Maryland and the oil-rich nation of Kuwait. The deal, negotiated by Governor Schaefer earlier this aear, gives Maryland companies preferential status as the emirate seeks the goods and services needed to rebuild itself in the aftermath of the gulf war. In addition, U.S. companies shipping cargo to Kuwait will be notified by Kuwaiti officials to route their shipments through the Port of Baltimore or BWI airport. At a time when state revenues are dipping dangerously, the deal could generate millions of dollars in new business for Maryland -- business that could endure long after the recession ends.
Nonetheless, this is not a clear-cut success story. The seeds of the Maryland-Kuwait partnership were planted last winter when the governor, apparently responding to the critical time element, beat a hasty path to the Mideast -- leaving the General Assembly locked in debate over his tax proposals and threatening to cut critical programs and services if they didn't pass. His Mideast trip left a good deal of animosity that still lingers.
Only now, in retrospect, is it clear that Schaefer was under enormous pressure not to go to Kuwait -- not only from legislators who charged that the governor's priorities were skewed but also because his long-time companion, Hilda Mae Snoops, was gravely ill.

CNET Update
U.S. Navy uses laser to take down droneThe Navy plans to put the first laser weapon on a ship, the Galaxy Note 8 rivals the iPad Mini, and Starbucks offers a new way to get iTunes freebies.
We've entered the era of laser warfare. I'm Bridget Carey and this is your CNET Update. The U.S. Navy announced plans to put the first laser weapon on a ship. The laser can set a drone on fire and send a crashing to the ocean as seen in this YouTube video from the Navy. The first prototype is expected to be put on a ship by the end of the year. What's interesting about this weapon is that each time it shoots it only cost about $1 an energy to power it but lasers might not work well in bad weather like rain or fog. Next step for the Navy, getting sharks with laser beams attached to their foreheads. The full review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is now on CNET and this is the tablet that's going against the iPad mini. Our editor said it was a stunning tablet and Samsung's best yet but the fact that it's $400 is a hard sell. It's $70 more expensive than the iPad mini and it's not as thin or light but it does come with a stylus pen. So, artists and those who like to jot notes down might say it's worth the price. Selling it for more than Apple shows Samsung's confidence these days and its products and customer-based. It goes on sale Thursday, April 11th. In the last update I reported on rumors that Google was in talks to buy the messaging app called WhatsApp. Well, perhaps it's not true. An executive at WhatsApp told AllThingsD that there are new talks with Google but there have been previous reports of the app talking to Facebook about an acquisition. So, it's not the first time we've heard this popular chat app might be for sale. If you've been inside to Starbucks, you know about those free iTunes app songs and e-books that you can get on a card near the register, well, they're called Pick of the Week. And now, there's no card required to redeem the free downloads. Starbucks' visitors can access the freebies from the Starbucks app when connected to the in-store WiFi network. Starbucks is launching this new feature by offering the Angry Birds Star Wars game for free. Here's some cool science. Japanese scientists say they have a way of telling what you're dreaming about just by looking at brain patterns during sleep. So, for example, if you dream about a cat, your brain will show the same pattern the next time you think about a cat. What if you dream about being in a dream? Inception. Android users will notice that the Google Play Marketplace app has gotten a makeover. The layout is cleaner and it's supposed to help you discover new things to download faster, so you spend more money. Yeah, and that's for other Android apps. The Tumblr app got an upgrade. It has a new design with options to save draft post and customized tweets. Apple users may see these updates in the months ahead. That's your tech news update. You can find more details on the show blog cnet.com/update and you can always stay updated on Twitter. From our studios in Ne York, I'm Bridget Carey.

A Microsoft job description suggests the company is looking for help in developing an automotive application of the Xbox's Kinect motion control system, something the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) may or may not take issue with in its quest to curb distracted driving.
According to a job listing posted by Microsoft, we may soon see Xbox Kinect integration in cars, reports Wired magazine's Autopia blog. The job description reads, "For the next generation of Connected Car Platform, we plan to leverage the full power of the Microsoft ecosystem including Kinect, Windows 8, Windows Phone, Windows Live, Bing, Azure, and Tellme." But before you jump to any conclusions about the idea of an Xbox gaming accessory in your car, it's unlikely drivers will have the ability to play video games using that control scheme. Kinect is a motion sensing device compatible with some Xbox games, and automakers like BMW and Mercedes-Benz have expressed interest in integrating such technology into new cars, according to Autopia.
The job description further reads, "The new Connected Car will know its riders, and will interact with them naturally via speech, gestures, and face tracking." Microsoft showed off an example of this tech when the company teamed up with West Coast Customs to build a teched-out Mustang, which included two Kinect controllers that could sense motion and objects around the car, and a heads-up display showing Bing maps with turn-by-turn directions.
It comes as no surprise that Microsoft is working on this cutting-edge tech. It's been a pioneer in automotive applications, with more of its recent work including Ford's Sync system, Kia's UVO infotainment system, and Fiat's Blue&Me in-car entertainment and navigation. But with Apple now gaining a foothold in the mobile infotainment arena, it's not the only player in the industry.
What do you think of the idea? Will this be another headache for NHSTA? Or is gesture-based control technology is the way of the future?

Angels against abuse
Angels against abuse
Search any news website for the phrase "nursing home" and your quest could return some less-than-stellar stories alleging elder abuse or neglect.
One California skilled nursing and assisted living center sought to change that, with a little help from the National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration.
Forty-seven certified nursing assistants at ParkVista Health Center in Fullerton, CA, took an oath during a recent celebration of their graduation from NADONA's "Operation: Guardian Angel" program.
The "Guardian Angel" CNAs participated in a course that taught them how to recognize and report suspected abuse, and to effectively communicate with residents' families and other care staff.
"This class was very informative, and it helped me to reflect and evaluate myself as a CNA," said Kimberly Lee, a CNA at ParkVista.
Lee read testimonies from all 47 CNAs who took part in the program during a ceremony attended by family, staff, residents and public officials, including Fullerton Mayor Jennifer Fitzgerald.
Suzanne Nasraty, administrator for ParkVista, said the Guardian Angel program will continue and be open to new CNAs as they're hired by the facility.
"The commitment by our CNAs to meet the standards of this program has been impressive, and a little overwhelming even," Nasraty said.

Former Journey producer Roy Thomas Baker is not only refusing to settle as part of an on-going class-action lawsuit over royalties with Sony, he's filed a separate suit — to the tune of $1 million.
Baker produced Journey's first three albums with Steve Perry, from 1978's Infinity through 1979's Evolution and 1980's Departure — a period that saw the band achieve its first chart successes.
His new 18-page lawsuit, according to Courthouse News Service, details allegations that Sony underreported his royalties by more than $475,000 for 21 songs that later ended up on a greatest-hits album which sold more than 80 million copies. Baker also claims to be owed more than $500,000 in additional royalties relating to the Departure album, Journey's 2003 greatest hits DVD, and for music and ringtones downloaded through digital music providers.
Baker, who also produced Queen, the Cars, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, Cheap Trick and Foreigner over the years, opted out of a recent class-action lawsuit that made similar claims against Sony from a variety of other artists for downloaded music, because he didn't feel the proposed March settlement was fair. He now says Sony is stonewalling, refusing to release other documents that might uncover additional monies owed since an audit first revealed the inconsistencies.
During Baker's time with Journey, the group scored a number of embryonic chart and radio hits, including "Anytime," "Any Way You Want It," "Feeling That Way," "Just the Same Way," "Lights," "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" and "Wheel in the Sky." Those early successes helped pave the way for Journey's platinum era in the 1980s.

Here's a look back at our recent thoughts on Journey. Click through the titles for complete reviews …
SOMETHING ELSE! SNEAK PEEK: NEAL SCHON – THE CALLING (2012): Schon reunites with former Journey drummer Steve Smith, and they recapture much of the sound and feel of the band's platinum era — mixing in arena-rattling tracks like "Carnival Jazz" and "Back Smash" with the soaring pop-balladry of "Six String Waltz" and "True Emotion." "Blue Rainbow Sky" emerges from a Jimi Hendrix-style riff into something that sounds like a newly unearthed track from the Escape sessions. But there's also a cool jazz-rock underpinning, something that allows Schon to explore further out along the edges of his craft in a way that his main band's brand of mainstream rock almost never does anymore.
ONE TRACK MIND: JOURNEY, "FEELING THAT WAY/ ANYTIME" (1978; 2011 reissue): A new Greatest Hits Vol. 2 was, in some ways, more interesting than Journey's initial best-of compilation — if only because its songs haven't necessarily become ear-wormingly familiar. Perhaps the most potent examples are these twin 1978 gems from Infinity, Journey's first project with Steve Perry. His appearance would immediately transform an interesting, if often unfocused jam band — co-led by Santana alums Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon — into a hit-making juggernaut. This album easily became the band's biggest seller to date, as Journey moved toward a tighter focus on songcraft.
JOURNEY – ECLIPSE (2011): In many ways, the initial cuts on Eclipse recall the wide-open heavy fusion of the the band's original Gregg Rolie-era records, a period when guitarist Neal Schon pulled and stretched his muse. At the same time, singer Arnel Pineda possesses a second-act Steve Perry-sounding penchant for soaring expectancy. For age-old fans, that often makes this album the best of both worlds, a musically dense recording in the style of the band's underrated 1977?s Next, and a loud one, but at the same time one that doesn't completely abandon the visceral mainstream pop sensibilities that defined the band's subsequent hitmaking period in the 1980s.
SOMETHING ELSE! INTERVIEW: GREGG ROLIE, FOUNDING MEMBER OF SANTANA AND JOURNEY: Gregg Rolie, a 1998 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has learned a lot about himself since taking fame's exit ramp to start a family almost 30 years ago. He's put into perspective the work done as a founding member of Santana, a stint that saw Rolie co-produce the group's first four albums beginning in 1969. The bluesy B-3 stylist then added to an overstuffed resume that already included an appearance at Woodstock, leaving with Neal Schon to launch Journey. There, he helped craft a series of 1970s recordings that set the stage for that band's arena-rock supernova moment in the 1980s.

The best teacher you ever had / were
29-11-2011, 06:22 PM (This post was last modified: 29-11-2011 06:25 PM by houseofcantor.)
RE: The best teacher you ever had / were
I waited to give the standard reply in order not to disparage this excellent thread by the excellent alien. It took like ten minutes to find the Golden Apple - behind the image there's a link - because the teacher does not get the credit deserved. A search of "teacher appreciation" lead to what?
Disciplinary action to take in case of transgression; complaint. Yes, our society is bass ackwards.
My "greatest teacher" is Gwyneth Paltrow. Simply, she is sweet and adorable and never let the fame make her crazy. (Her craziness is all her own, original to the identity. ) But what was taught was self-instruction that family never provided to this unit and it occurred through love. This reflects ancient wisdom that should never be overlooked - the greatest teacher is impotent until the least student is ready to learn.
Paul, William, and Mary lived in the same house. Three teachers that done right for a whole generation of peeps, that grew up in Clinton, Massachusetts.
I did remember a cool little anecdote just now. Mr Lockheart, teaching calculus to seniors. First day of class, he writes his name on the board; turns to the class.
Congratulations. You got a 70. That's what you get for making it this far. No one gets less than a C.

Scarlett Johansson has landed her dream duet with legendary singer Dean Martin - she's set to lend her voice to an upcoming Christmas album featuring the late crooner's classic tunes.
The Lost in Translation star will 'team up' with the Rat Pack icon for a remake of the festive classic I'll Be Home for Christmas.
She tells gossip blogger PerezHilton.com, "Growing up in New York City, Christmas was never Christmas without Dino. Recording in the studio with Mr. Martin in my headphones felt as though he were standing right next to me, crooning with that mischievous gleam in his eye. When I was asked to sing on this album, it was literally a childhood dream come true."
Johansson's song will be featured on Martin's My Kind of Christmas, which will hit stores on 20 September (11).
And it's not the only classic the Iron Man 2 star has reworked recently - the blonde beauty has also recorded a new version of Serge Gainsbourg's Bonnie & Clyde with the French legend's son Lulu. Gainsbourg originally recorded the track in 1968 with Brigitte Bardot.

– Innovative, strategic and good partner, good products and good service! These are the reasons customers buy from IBM according to a PNA survey done at IBM Pulse 2012.
On the question "My chief perception of IBM is that they are…" the respondents say this:
- 35 % Good Partner
- 27 % Innovative
- 14 % Safe choice
On the question "The top reason we buy from IBM is because…" the respondents say this:
- 41 % Strategic partner
- 35 % Good Products & Services
- 17 % Good support
Interesting to see expressions like Innovative, Strategic Partner, Good Products and Services, plus Safe Choice used about a company of IBM's size. It is not very often one see a company as both innovative and a safe choice. I am impressed.

Three Talks at the ACS MeetingPosted by: Antony Williams in ChemMantis, ChemSpider Chemistry, InChI, Open Access Publishing, Presentations
It was a busy week at the ACS meeting in Washington. I gave three presentations and the title, abstracts and links to Slideshare are given below:
Oops and Downs of Resolving InChIs For the Chemistry Community (Link to Slideshare)
The InChI resolver was rolled out to the community in March 2009 with the purpose of providing a centralized resource for chemists to resolve InChIs (International Chemical Identifiers). This presentation will provide an overview of the development of the underlying technologies associated with the InChI resolver, and how the resolver is being used, integrated and enhanced to provide additional value to the chemistry community. We will discuss present limitations to application of the resolver for providing access to databases and chemistry information distributed across the internet and define our vision for enhancing interconnectivity across Open databases using the InChI resolver as the glue.
ChemSpider: Building a knowledge-based community for chemists using social and data networking technologies (Link to Slideshare)
In less than 2 years ChemSpider has become one of the primary online resources for chemists providing access to an unsurpassed aggregate of free-access knowledge and data. ChemSpider was developed with the intention of providing a structure centric community for chemists that would be enhanced by data depositions, curations and annotations by the community. The system presently hosts over 21.5 million chemical compounds from over 200 data sources. Working with a network of advisors, collaborators and data providers ChemSpider has created a unique resource of integrated information for chemists. These efforts have enabled us to support the curation of the Wikipedia chemistry pages, the production of a community supported Open Access chemistry journal and provision of web services integrated to spectrometer systems distributed around the world. This talk will provide an overview of how ChemSpider utilized social and data networking to create a community for chemistry.
Building an integrated system for chemistry markup and online publishing integrated to online chemistry resources (Link to Slideshare)
The extraction of chemical entities from documents such as patents and publications has been pursued for a number of years. We wish to report on ChemMantis, an integrated system for chemistry-based entity extraction and document mark-up enabling access to the rich resource of online chemistry know as ChemSpider. We will discuss the development of the platform from its inception as a series of dictionaries to the integration of an entity extraction algorithm and its expansion to a public deposition and publishing platform for chemistry. Chemistry articles can now be deposited, marked-up and exposed to the public within a few minutes in many cases making it an ideal platform for communicating research and providing integrated access to data sources including PubChem, ChEBI, Wikipedia and Entrez.

Democratic Left - Summer 2012
In 1962, politically engaged young people who identified with the Left were looking for new directions. The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) conference at Port Huron, Michigan. happened because we were sure that the world we inhabited could no longer be changed by relying on the categories, methods and understandings of a Left still rooted in the 19th century. That Left, constituted by a host of warring ideological tribes, was exhausted. On the other hand, we were also intent on challenging the conventional wisdom of the 1950s, which declared that the entire tradition of the Left had come to an end.
By "tradition of the Left " I mean the streams of action and thought that, over generations, had struggled for a society free from the domination of the many by the few, that envisioned and fought for the rights and dignity of the subordinated, the propertyless, the voiceless and powerless. We identified ourselves with that tradition, even if we strongly doubted the value of particular ideological formulations like socialism, or Marxism, in their many varieties.
The potential for a new politics was inspired by the dramatic movement of students in the South, using their bodies to destroy the system of segregation, dedicating themselves to organizing the Southern Black community for political voice, determined to force the federal government to enforce the Constitution in the Southern states. And, as well it was inspired by the rising protest in Europe and the U.S. against the bomb and the nuclear arms race.
We were attracted to Port Huron by the notion, expressed forcefully by pioneer SDS organizers like Al Haber, that these particular risings were revealing a deep social crisis. The top leaders of the society as a whole were unable, even unwilling, to enforce the rights supposedly guaranteed in the Constitution, and certainly unwilling to end the Cold War and the ever-looming threat of a hot one.
There were less than 60 of us there at that time, but we believed (and we were right about this) that a lot of our peers shared the mood we were in. It was time for a new politics – for new ideas and new coalitions and new modes of action. It was time for a new university – one that treated its students as adults, and that was a place where new ideas could be articulated and debated and acted on and whose student bodies would reflect the population of the country as a whole, rather than a thin, privileged stratum.
Al Haber, Tom Hayden, and a few others sensed the new mood and had the insight that the new student activists needed a national organization that would create a shared meeting ground. And, equally, the rising activism might benefit from an effort to articulate a common vision and to debate potential strategies for political and social action. And so they made the daring decision to structure the conference around the creation of a manifesto for a new political generation.
The Port Huronites were widely varied in their personal connection to the Old Left. Some, like my wife Mickey and I, were "red diaper babies." We were raised by parents who had been involved in political, labor and community organizing initiated by the Communist Party in the 1930s and 1940s, or at least were sympathetic to the Communist Left. Some others' families identified with other brands of socialism or liberalism. Probably the majority of those in attendance did not have such Leftist connections. They were instead people who had come to anger and distress when they experienced the collision between the values (religious or secular) they'd been raised to cherish and the harsh realities of race and poverty which the civil rights movement was dramatizing. We all seemed to share a calling to find political roles that could make a significant difference. And we understood that none of the established parties and political identities were at all adequate to that purpose.
The Port Huron Statement provided a foundation for finding that purpose. That foundation can be found in the phrase "participatory democracy." It's an unwieldy phrase, but it points toward both a utopian aspiration for a new mode of living and a practical political orientation. Participatory democracy leads us to ask what needs to happen so that all who are affected can have some voice in deciding the rules, allocating the resources, defining the roles in each institutional setting. We're encouraged to ask such questions not just in the political sphere proper, but in society as a whole – the workplace, the household, the community, the school, and even the prison. The effort to find answers to such questions helps us envision possible alternatives and to investigate why more democratic arrangements are thwarted. And, as we undertake action to promote democracy, we are compelled to figure out how that action itself can be democratically organized.
Participatory democracy at Port Huron suggested a way to recreate the Left by culling from the Left tradition the kernels of democratic imagination that the old warring ideologies shared even as they fought. It fostered a new vocabulary for defining the Left, which would be more resonant with American culture than the terms imported from earlier centuries and other political cultures. And it pushed us to struggle for a way to set up the new organization as a democracy that could make use of members' initiatives and experience rather than perpetuating conventional modes of hierarchical leadership.
Fifty years later, participatory democracy (whether the term itself is used or not) is defining the programs and practices of social movements everywhere. It's there in the general assemblies of the Occupy movement, and in the very idea of an economy that serves the interests of the 99%. It's integral to the worldwide struggle by communities to defend land, culture, identity, resources and health in the face of corporate globalization. It's embodied in the global movement for workers' rights, for women's equality and autonomy, for student power. When people mobilize to stop war policies, they are demanding a voice in foreign policy decisions hitherto made by politicomilitary elites. It's there in the Internet, which has created a technological infrastructure for participatory democracy that those gathered at Port Huron never could have dreamed of.
But what has been missing, for the last 30 years, has been coherent articulation of these impulses and practices as ingredients for an alternative social vision. The Left in these years has mainly expressed itself as a force defending government policies designed to offset the ravages of corporate dominance and market dynamics. We try to protect the remnants of the New Deal social compact, to defend and promote government programs in terms of compassion, fairness, and justice because of the enormous assault on all of these by the Right. In the Sixties, we thought that the New Deal was little more than a technocratic framework for ensuring a smoothly functioning capitalist society. Participatory democracy defines a regulative ideal for rewriting that compact so that elite domination would be replaced by collective deliberation. The New Left aimed to imagine and struggle for alternatives to established policies and arrangements.
The Occupy movement opens up once again the chance to imagine, investigate, and experiment with alternatives. The celebration of the 50th anniversary of Port Huron may, I hope, provide some of the social and intellectual means to engage in that process.
Dick Flacks was a founding member of SDS and active in its leadership for several years. His most recent book (with Rob Rosenthal) Playing for Change: Music and Musicians in the Service of Social Movements, is now in paperback. He's co-editing with Nelson Lichtenstein a compilation of recent reflections on the Port Huron Statement and the fate of the New Left.

Crouch wins medalist honors; Florida Southern No. 1 seed for match play
HERSHEY, Pa. -- Florida Southern saved its best golf for Wednesday's final round of stroke play at the 2013 NCAA Division II National Championships on the East Course at the Hershey Country Club as the Moccasins fired a final-round best score of 4-under 280 to finish first overall out of 20 teams in stroke play.
With its first-place finish in stroke play, the Moccasins earned the No. 1 seed in match play, which will begin on Thursday to determine the team national champion. Following the completion of stroke play, the top eight teams will be seeded for match play. In match play, each teams' players will be paired off to face off for the best 18-hole score. One point will be awarded to the winner of each individual match and the first team to three points wins. Ties will be broken by overall team score.
FSC's 4-under-par score of 280 as a team on Wednesday was the best score for any round in the tournament for any team and that allowed the Mocs to make up 15 shots on second-round leader Barry, which shot a 20-over-par 304 on Wednesday to finish in second place overall with an 876 for 54 holes. Defending DII champion Nova Southeastern, which was in second place after Tuesday and was five shots in front of the Mocs, fired an 11-over-par 295 on Thursday to fall into third place as they shot 877 for 54 holes. FSC finished shooting an 867 for 54 holes.
While the Mocs finished first as a team to earn the No. 1 seed in match play, junior Tim Crouch became the seventh Moccasin golfer to win an individual national title as he defeated USC Aiken's Matt Akins and Western Washington's Jake Webb in a one-hole playoff to take home medalist honors. In Wednesday's round, Crouch shot a 2-under-par 69 to finish with a 54 hole total of 211. He entered Wednesday's action sitting in a tie for sixth, but recorded three birdies and had just one bogey on his scorecard to join an exclusive list of national champion golfers at Florida Southern.
In addition to Crouch, the other Mocs who have won individual national champions are Tom Gleeton (1979), Tom Patri (1981), Lee Janzen (1986), Matt Saglio (1999), Jeff Klauk (2000) and Steve Sokol (2001). Jude Eustaquio tied for first at the 2008 national championships, but lost in a one-hole playoff to USC Aiken's Jeff Goff.
Along with FSC, Barry and Nova Southeastern, the other teams that advance to Thursday's match play are Lynn, which shot a 297 on Wednesday to finish with an 888 for 54 holes to tie for fourth with USC Aiken, which fired final-round score of 298 on Wednesday to also finish with an 888 for 54 holes. Cal State-Monterey Bay, which won the national title in 2011, finished in sixth as it shot a 299 on Wednesday and finished with an 893 for 54 holes, while Missouri-St. Louis and Western Washington each tied for seventh place. UMSL fired a final-round score of 297 to push its 54 hole total to 898 and WWU, which teed off in the morning session, shot a 294 in the final round to earn a spot in match play.
In Wednesday's final round, the Mocs had its four counters towards its team score shoot either par or better. Joining Crouch under par was freshman Austin Schultz, who fired a final round score of 69, while senior Case Gard and junior Shane Convery each shot even-par 71s. The fifth golfer for the Mocs on Wednesday was senior Peter Creighton. He fired a 4-over-par 75.
Along with Crouch, Gard also finished in the top 10 as his 71 in Wednesday's final round pushed his three-day, 54 hole total to a 3-over 216. In Wednesday's round, Gard recorded two birdies, two bogeys and 14 pars on his scorecard. It was the second time in the tournament that Gard recorded a score of par or better as he shot a 2-under-par 69 in Monday's first round.
Thanks to his 2-under-par 69 on Wednesday, Schultz made a huge climb up the leaderboard as he entered action standing in 47th after two rounds, but his final round 69 pushed his 54 hole total to an 8-over-par 221 to finish in a five-way tie for 19th place. On Wednesday, Schultz recorded four birdies and two bogeys, both of which were on the front nine as he played the back nine at 2-under-par 33.
Convery's final round score of 71 allowed him to also jump 31 spots up the leaderboard as he entered Wednesday's play sitting in a tie for 64th, but his score of 71 pushed his 54 hole total to a 12-over par 225, which was good for a tie for 33rd place. Convery, who shot an 8-over 79 in Tuesday's second round, had just one birdie, one bogey and 16 pars on his scorecard Wednesday.
The Mocs will return to the course on Thursday when they begin the match play format of the championships. FSC will open match-play against No. 8 seeded Western Washington, which finished stroke play in a tie with Missouri-St. Louis for seventh place at +46 (292-312-294=898). Both teams' individually seeded golfers will battle against each other through 18 holes with the winning team advancing on to the semifinals on Thursday afternoon.

PURCELLVILLE, VIRGINIA -- On July 11, 2008 Browning Equipment Inc of Purcellville, VA performed a generator service call on our property dispatching one technician and one salesman for approximately 2 to 2 ½ hours. The salesman, **, spent that time speaking with us and did not perform any work. In fact, he had cancelled several appointments stating that the technician was not available and that he was unqualified to perform the work himself.
We received an invoice dated 12/10/08 for 5.2 hours and have disputed the invoice because we feel the number of hours is misrepresented since only one half of the team was working that day. Their response to my dispute was that they felt the actual time spent was more like 8.4 man hours on that day and that they had a signed service ticket to prove it!! Since it is clear that they are doubling the charges for the time spent by one man we requested a copy of the service ticket.
Upon inspection of it we have found an altered document with many handwritten notes bearing dates subsequent to the date of the service call with no hours indicated on the ticket other than a handwritten number 488.3 which appears in the hours field of the invoice but is undated. Further, within two weeks of our sending a second letter of dispute we received a visit from the Clarke County Building Inspector, **, who stated that he received a complaint of a generator "improperly installed and bearing no County inspection sticker."
As ** continued to elaborate on the details of the complaint it became clear that he was reading the handwritten notes from the Browning Equipment service ticket verbatim which introduces yet another issue, namely that if Browning was able to identify the problems observed in their service call well enough to relate it to the Building Inspector, then how come they didn't fix the problem or insist we hire an electrician to fix the problem? And why did they continue to further the notion that a surge suppressor was necessary to correct the problem at a still greater cost?
In short, we now believe there is a question not only with regard to their billing practice but also with regard to the quality of their technical ability and their professional integrity. In summary, the best thing that has happened to us is that the Building Inspector did clearly identify and explain the nature of our problem to us and that it took no longer than thirty minutes to inspect the generator, transfer switch and the main and sub electrical panels inside our home. He has committed to working with our electrician to correct the existing problems which Browning apparently left in an uncorrected, and perhaps unsafe, fashion on the day of their 7/11/08 service call.
We have requested, again, a copy of the original service ticket but it has not been received as of this date nor has there been any further communication from them, other than the malicious complaint to the Clarke County Building Inspector (in which no irregularities were uncovered) which arose over an unethical billing dispute. Can you please make others in Loudon and Clarke Counties, Virginia aware of the unprofessional conduct of this company so that they are not compromised in the ways that we have been? We have also filed a report with the Better Business Bureau. Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.
I am writing on behalf of Browning Equipment, Inc. in response to complaints by mummwalek. The facts are as follows:
Browning Equipment is a farm, lawn & garden equipment dealership which also sells and services generators. We have served Loudoun County, VA and surrounding communities faithfully for 69 years. On July 1, 2008 Mr. Ralph Walek came to our store in Purcellville to ask for our help with a nine year old Generac home standby generator which had experienced repeated failures to an internal circuit board, requiring expensive repairs each time. He specifically asked about our pricing for shop rates and service calls. We agreed to schedule a service call for July 11th and on that day the generator service supervisor rode along with the technician as a courtesy to help investigate the curious failures. There would be no charge for the supervisor's time.
The generator system's function was thoroughly tested and its interface with the home's electrical system was studied before the end of the service call. The technician and supervisor spent further time reviewing the problem with technical service experts at the Wisconsin Generac headquarters. Two of the failed circuit boards were retrieved from Mr. Walek and shipped for the factory for analysis. The determination was made that the burned circuit boards were caused by electrical surges, from nearby lightning strikes, which were being picked up by extended wiring from the residence to a detached shed and to a further detached three car garage. The wiring of the additional structures was not done with the expected subpanels and circuit breakers in each structure, but directly from the residence's electrical service-without surge protection.
After diagnosing that the unfused wiring of the secondary structures likely caused the circuit board failures over the years, we offered to order suppression devices to be installed in line to protect the generator. Mr. Walek told us to proceed with the order.
After a delay in availability of the ordered suppressors, we scheduled their installation for October 10. On October 9th, Nancy Mumm postponed this service appointment because Mr. Walek was unavailable. She committed to call and reschedule.
On December 10, after no call from Mrs. Mumm, an invoice for work to date was generated and mailed. Since that time, two letters have been received from the customers and one return correspondence was mailed between them in response summarizing the events as I am doing now.
Mr. Walek and Mrs. Mumm have paid nothing to Browning Equipment. Their second letter states "all electrical work done on this property has been carried out by a
licensed electrician and inspected by Clarke County". A call to the Clarke County Electrical Inspector found otherwise.
Beyond their failure to pay for any services rendered (which ultimately identified their wiring problem so a solution can be pursued) Mr. Walek and Mrs. Mumm have proceeded to broadcast slanderous complaints about Browning Equipment over various internet sites.
Who is the unethical party here?

A six member delegation from the Oliy Majlis (Parliament) of Uzbekistan, chaired by Mr KURMANOV ALISHER ANVAROVICH attended the 13th EU-Uzbekistan Parliamentary Cooperation Committee (PCC) on the 30th of November 2017.
The Members were able to attend the mini plenary session where MEPs debated and voted on the implementation of the European Disability Strategy. They also visited the House of European History where they were offered a fresh perspective on the history of Europe and the process of European integration.
The political situation in Uzbekistan and the European Union, and the overall bilateral relations between the European Parliament since the 11th PCC were discussed in the meeting. There was an exchange of views on the development in the regional policy of Central Asia and the role of Uzbekistan and the European Union, with a particular focus on security and the fight against terrorism, extremism and drug trafficking, engagement by Uzbekistan and the European Union in Afghanistan, and environmental policy and water resources management.
The economic situation in the country was also covered with emphasis on the progress in the economic and social reforms and their implementation, the upgrading of the EU/Uzbekistan trade and economic relations and possible measures to facilitate access of Uzbek goods to the European markets. The exchange of experience in the field of agriculture and rural development, Human Rights, Rule of Law and social policies in Uzbekistan, were also debated upon with a focus on the strengthening of the role of the Parliament, the empowerment of civil society and fundamental freedoms, the labour conditions in the cotton fields, and the rights of people with disabilities. Further cooperation in the field of education and healthcare were also discussed.
The Members of both Parliaments recognised the need to continue dialogue and cooperation, and to further strengthen the relations between them.
